Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

On the holographic screen, the latest monthly ranking of past life memories retrieved by the Blue Star Federation was displayed on a scrolling screen.

[Li Yi, the second young master of the Li Consortium, achieved an S-rank rating while exploring his past life memories, setting a new high in nearly ten years and temporarily ranking first on the Federation's list!]

[Breaking News! Zhou Fu, an ordinary citizen of the Federation, uses his memories of a past life to locate and unearth a long-forgotten legacy, instantly becoming one of the Federation's top billionaires!]

[Congratulations to Ms. Delis, a citizen of the Federal Republic, for successfully inheriting her past life's abilities during the exploration of her past life memories, and for receiving an A-level rating!]

[Federal official report: In the past three months, nearly ten million citizens across the federal government have participated in past life memory exploration, with approximately ten thousand participants successfully inheriting abilities from their past lives!]

……

In the dimly lit room, young Jiang Lan leaned lazily against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the holographic projection in front of him. On the projection, a sexy female news anchor was passionately explaining recent hot topics; the holographic technology made her image so lifelike, as if she were standing right in the center of the room.

"The level of technology in this world is simply beyond imagination," Jiang Lan murmured. "They've even achieved this level of realism in holographic broadcasting."

Jiang Lan is not a native of this world, but a transmigrator. Several months ago, he unexpectedly transmigrated to this parallel world planet, Blue Star, which is highly similar to Earth.

The lifestyle here is almost identical to that on Earth, but the biggest difference is that there are no national or racial divisions on Blue Star. The order of the entire planet is uniformly established and maintained by the Blue Star Federation.

After watching the news broadcast by the holographic anchor, Jiang Lan mused to himself thoughtfully, "It seems that in this world, exploring past life memories might be the key to defying fate."

"If one can find the legacy left over from a previous life, or inherit the special abilities from a previous life... then one can gain a foothold in this world and live a decent life."

Reincarnation is not a myth in this world, but a proven reality.

Jiang Lan had to admit that he was tempted. The possibility of completely rewriting one's life trajectory with just a memory exploration was an irresistible temptation for almost no one.

Moreover, he was penniless when he first transmigrated; the only valuable thing he possessed was probably his life. A complete stranger in a strange land, he couldn't even find stable employment. If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before he was evicted and left homeless.

Jiang Lan knew that awakening past life memories was not without risk. If she couldn't withstand the massive flood of memories from her past life, she might suffer from mental confusion at best, and at worst, she might become demented and completely lose her ability to live a normal life.

But compared to the prospect of starving to death on the streets, this risk seemed insignificant. Jiang Lan clenched her fist, her mind already made up—she would take the gamble!

Just as he was pondering this, a crisp knock came from outside the door.

Jiang Lan slowly got up, walked to the door, and opened it. The first thing she saw was a sweet and lovely face, with short hair outlining her clean features; it was the landlady's daughter, Izzy.

Jiang Lan's gaze fell undisguisedly on Izzy, her tone tinged with surprise: "Sister Izzy? You wanted to see me?"

Jiang Lan still remembers the shock he felt when he first discovered that his landlady's daughter looked exactly like Izu from the anime *Kamen Rider Zero-One*, a character he knew well from his previous life. However, after spending several months with her, he gradually got used to it. Izu in this world wasn't a Humagear; she was just an ordinary human girl with nothing special about her.

Under Jiang Lan's direct gaze, Izzy's cheeks flushed slightly, and the words she had prepared caught in her throat. If it were anyone else staring at her like that, she would have felt disgusted, but strangely, she didn't feel any aversion to Jiang Lan's gaze.

Jiang Lan didn't notice her odd behavior and quickly focused her gaze on the items in her hands—a half-eaten sandwich and a steaming cup of coffee.

"Thank you, little sister Izzy. How did you know I hadn't had breakfast yet?" Jiang Lan said, taking the sandwich and coffee directly from Izzy's hand.

"That's what I ate..." Iz puffed out her cheeks, pouted, and glared at Jiang Lan, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

But Jiang Lan couldn't care less about any of that at the moment. For him, filling his stomach was the most important thing right now; whether the food had been eaten before was completely irrelevant.

"Jiang Lan..." Iz called softly, as if she wanted to say something more.

But before she could finish speaking, Jiang Lan slammed the door shut. His slightly hurried voice came from inside: "I'll figure out the rent. You should go back now!"

Iz, standing outside the door, was completely stunned, frozen in place, momentarily at a loss for what to do. She hadn't even said anything yet, so why was she locked out?

Iz gave a soft snort, stomped her foot lightly, and then slowly stretched out her hand hidden behind her back—in that hand, she was holding a beautifully packaged xiaolongbao (soup dumpling).

Looking at the steamed buns in her hand, a hint of disappointment flashed across Izzy's pretty face. She murmured softly, "Actually, I just wanted to ask if you had eaten breakfast. If not, I brought these for you..."

She didn't expect that Jiang Lan would not only take her breakfast, but also mistakenly think that she had come to collect rent. She didn't even give her a chance to explain before closing the door.

Izzy stared at Jiang Lan's closed door, remained silent for a moment, and then silently turned and left. Although she felt a little wronged, she decided to go back and plead with her mother to let Jiang Lan postpone paying the rent for a few more days.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she felt such an inexplicable fondness for Jiang Lan.

……

Inside the room, Jiang Lan quickly finished his sandwich and drank a large gulp of coffee, which slightly alleviated his hunger. He put down his cup and muttered to himself, "I have to get some money as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to survive in this world."

As he spoke, he took out his personal terminal (phone) and skillfully logged into the official website of the Blue Star Federation. Before officially registering for the past life memory exploration, he planned to review the relevant information in more detail to be well-informed.

During his research, Jiang Lan discovered a severe gap in human civilization on this planet. The Blue Star Federation's current recorded human history spans only a little over four thousand years, leaving a blank space before that, as if humanity had appeared out of thin air on this planet over four thousand years ago.

To further advance technological civilization, exploring the origins of humankind has become paramount. Therefore, the Blue Star Federation has invested significant human, material, and financial resources in developing specialized instruments capable of exploring memories of humanity's past lives, hoping to find historical traces from before the civilizational break.

Jiang Lan also reaffirmed the stakes of memory exploration: participating in the exploration could either defy fate or lead to a permanent downfall. If the Federation discovers that a participant's past life was one of heinous crimes, they will be placed on a high-priority monitoring list; it is not impossible for someone who cannot withstand the impact of their past life's memories to become mentally impaired.

But after understanding all the risks, Jiang Lan's determination to sign up only became stronger. He wasn't participating in the exploration to find the origins of humanity, nor for any lofty ideals; he simply wanted to survive in this world.

Furthermore, he discovered a crucial piece of information—the Federation's exploration of past life memories could be live-streamed. Participants could broadcast their past life memories in real time, gaining viewership and attention, and receiving donations from the audience. All of these donations would belong to the participant.

This means that even if one fails to inherit the abilities of their previous life or find their past life's legacy, as long as their past life memories are compelling enough to attract viewers, they can still live a comfortable life simply through the traffic and tips generated by the live stream.

Having understood all the rules, Jiang Lan no longer hesitated. He logged into his federal citizen account and, without hesitation, pressed the confirmation button for "Participating in the Past Life Memory Exploration" at the registration portal on the official website.

At this moment, he had no idea what a tremendous shock his past life memories would bring to the entire Blue Star Federation.
