Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Almost at the same moment Jiang Lan regained consciousness, the Federal Memory Live Streaming Platform's backend system automatically activated its dedicated live stream room. The instant the "Jiang Lan - Exploring Past Life Memories" live stream room icon lit up, all viewers following the memory exploration updates swarmed in like sharks smelling blood. The platform's backend data skyrocketed, nearly triggering server load alerts, and within just three minutes, the number of viewers flooding into the live stream room exceeded 600,000.

It's important to understand that initiating this memory exploration requires a staggering one million exploration factors, an extremely rare occurrence in the entire history of Federation memory exploration. This exorbitant threshold fueled everyone's intense curiosity and anticipation regarding Jiang Lan's past life identity, resulting in a deluge of comments flooding the screen.

"Jiang Lan's memory livestream is now open! A memory exploration with millions of exploration factors—could it hold the core secrets of the Earth's civilization before its collapse?"

"Is this the top spot on the Exploration Factor Ranking? Jiang Lan... this name is going to be incredibly popular, it's so interesting!"

"Let's make a bold guess: Jiang Lan's past life identity was definitely much more noble than Li Yi's. She might have been a core figure in some ancient force, otherwise why would she need so many exploration factors to unlock her?"

"I'm getting more and more excited! I wonder what will appear in my memories, and whether it will overturn our understanding of the past?"

"Perhaps this time, the Federation can truly uncover the truth behind the breakdown of Earth's civilization through his memories!"

"The number of viewers is almost one million! This rate of follower growth is arguably the fastest in the history of the Federation Memory live streaming platform, isn't it?"

Meanwhile, inside the secret meeting room of the Blue Star Federation's Supreme Command for Memory Exploration, the atmosphere was as heavy as iron. In the center of this heavily guarded meeting room stood a heavy, long desk, with a holographic projection device embedded in its surface, shimmering with soft light.

Seated at the head of the table was an elderly man with slightly graying temples. He was Zhang Qian, a high-ranking member of the Federation who proposed the core concept of "exploring the truth of the civilizational gap by mining past life memories." The old man's face was deeply lined, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on the holographic screen in front of him.

Seated on either side of the desk were top figures in the field of federal memory exploration: core scientists who led the development of memory exploration equipment, authoritative scholars who have been deeply involved in memory interpretation for decades, and high-ranking officials who controlled the allocation of memory exploration resources.

Even Evando, the Minister of the Memory Exploration Information Department, could only occupy a corner seat in this lineup. It's no exaggeration to say that this small conference room brought together half of the Federation's memory exploration field.

All eyes were focused on the image projected onto the holographic screen in front of them—Jiang Lan's memory livestream. The fact that so many Federation leaders had gathered together to conduct a real-time analysis of an individual's memory exploration demonstrated that the Federation's regard for Jiang Lan as the subject of their exploration had been elevated to a strategic level.

A moment later, a clear image finally appeared in Jiang Lan's memory live stream. Initially, the image was shrouded in heavy darkness, with only a low and obscure chanting sound coming from the depths. The syllables were strange and difficult to pronounce, unlike any language known on Earth. It seemed to contain some ancient power that transcended time and space, causing a chill to run down the spines of all the viewers watching the live stream.

Then, a faint halo of light slowly appeared in the darkness, and the audience could see that the scene in the memory was actually a deep, dark cave.

Deep within the cave stood an ancient, dilapidated stone altar, its surface covered with indistinct, eerie patterns. These patterns, combined with the continuous chanting, created a somber yet unsettling atmosphere, sending chills down the spines of many visitors.

Just then, a figure clad in red armor suddenly appeared in the center of the screen! Almost instantly, several grotesque monsters materialized out of thin air, surrounding him. These monsters were entirely black, with fangs as sharp as daggers, claws that gleamed coldly at the ends of their limbs, and their bodies covered in a sticky, dark purple slime. Each roar sprayed out saliva carrying a putrid stench, making them look utterly terrifying.

The sudden, terrifying scene instantly threw the viewers in the live stream into a frenzy, with many even gasping in shock.

"A monster...?!"

"What is this thing? How could there be such a never-before-seen creature on Earth?"

"What is the connection between these monsters and Jiang Lan's past life? Could the civilization gap be related to these monsters?"

Not only the ordinary spectators, but also the federal expert team in the conference room were briefly stunned and bewildered. They had been deeply involved in the study of Earth's history and civilization for decades, and had never seen any record of such creatures in any historical materials or relics.

"Quickly!" Zhang Qian abruptly raised his hand, his voice carrying a barely perceptible urgency. "Immediately notify the Academy of Sciences to dispatch the Federation's top team of biologists to participate in the entire analysis!"

The secretary beside him dared not slacken in the slightest, immediately rising to push open the heavy wooden door of the conference room and conveying instructions as quickly as possible. The somber atmosphere in the conference room grew even heavier. Everyone understood that the content revealed by Jiang Lan's memory might completely overturn their understanding of the development of Blue Star civilization, and the truth behind the discontinuity of Blue Star civilization might be hidden in this eerie scene.

In the memory, the figure in red armor showed no sign of panic despite being surrounded by monsters. Facing the simultaneous attack of several monsters, he moved as swiftly as a cheetah, his transitions between offense and defense flawless, consistently maintaining the upper hand.

Even more astonishingly, during the battle, his armor could switch forms out of thin air, with different colored armor such as red, blue, green, and purple appearing one after another. The weapon in his hand also changed form accordingly, sometimes turning into a long sword and sometimes into gauntlets. Each form change would unleash even stronger combat power.

This scene once again shocked everyone in the Federation.

"What level of technology is this? Or... is it not technology at all, but some kind of unknown energy system?"

"Without any visible transformation mechanism, how could they achieve such smooth form changes? Could the civilization of ancient Earth have reached a level unimaginable to us?"

"Who was Jiang Lan in his past life? What kind of world did he live in?"

Questions lingered in everyone's minds. Soon after, the figure in red armor finally defeated all the monsters. Dragging his slightly weary body, he walked step by step toward the altar deep in the cave, and finally lay down in a stone coffin placed in the center of the altar.

"Boom boom boom—"

The heavy stone coffin lid slowly closed, and just before it was completely shut, everyone clearly saw a mysterious mark engraved on the inside of the lid—a unique mark belonging to Kamen Rider Kuuga, an ancient and obscure Gurongi script.

And this was merely the beginning of Jiang Lan's memories from her past life...
