Planetary evolution, how come you're Ultraman?

On the computer screen in the dormitory, Ultraman Nexus in his juvenile form had just defeated a monster, and Lin Chen was watching intently while munching on instant noodles.

As a seasoned Ultraman fan, he has watched Nexus more than ten times, and his favorite line is "Light is the bond, and it will be passed down."

Just then, the computer screen suddenly went blank.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous suction force emanated from the screen.

Lin Chen's vision went black, and the instant noodle bucket in his hand flew out of his hand.

"Buzz!"

After the intense dizziness subsided, he suddenly stepped onto a cold, hard patch of ground.

Lin Chen shook his head, looked up, and was instantly dumbfounded.

What I see before me isn't a dormitory, but the pitch-black universe!

The distant stars shone brightly, while the land beneath his feet seemed pitifully small.

Take three steps forward and you'll reach the top!

He looked down at the gray-brown earth beneath his feet, which had a radius of less than 100 meters, like a stone planet shrunk countless times, floating in the dark universe.

What's going on here?

Before he could figure it out, a cold, mechanical voice exploded in his mind without warning.

At the same time, he could feel that the voice seemed to resonate in everyone's minds simultaneously.

This is the spiritual connection of the training grounds; it can transmit information without the need for air.

Welcome to the Astral Trials!

[The 70 billion people of Earth have completed their collective journey across the planet; everyone is about to embark on a survival adventure!]

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Time travel? 70 billion people?

Then, even more information came flooding in:

[Initial Configuration: 1 Exclusive Miniature Planet, 1 Initial Exploration Spaceship]

[Evolution Rules: Absorb the core of an unclaimed planet, or plunder the core of another star lord's planet, to complete the evolution of your own planet and unlock stronger abilities!]

[Warning: In 24 hours, a cosmic radiation surge will sweep across the entire star system. Star lords whose planetary shields have not been upgraded will be instantly annihilated by radiation!]

[Personal panel activated!]

A semi-transparent panel popped up in front of Lin Chen's eyes:

Star Lord: Lin Chen

Planet: Initial miniature planet

Radius: 100 meters

Shield Level: 0 (Cannot withstand any cosmic disasters)

[Special Ability: Not Awakened]

Lin Chen gasped.

It wasn't a dream after all!

It really was time travel!

70 billion people have all been transported to this Star Realm Trial Ground. Each person has a pitifully small planet and must plunder other people's planets to survive.

And after 24 hours, those who didn't upgrade their shields will die instantly?

At that moment, he could hear the screams of others around him.

That was an emotional fluctuation transmitted through a mental connection, not a sound transmission through the air.

Not far away, there were several other points of light like his, which were other people's planets. People were already flying small spaceships and crashing into the planets next to them, clearly having begun to plunder them!

Meanwhile, global public channels were completely overwhelmed, with text messages scrolling by at breakneck speed, hundreds per second:

"Holy crap?! Where am I? I was just at work! How did I suddenly end up here?"

"What's that stone under my feet? Why is it so small? I'll fall if I move! Help!"

"24-hour radiation? Are you kidding me? I can't even find any resources!"

"I've awakened my superpower! I've awakened a D-rank power boost! Anyone want to team up? I'm good at this!"

"Holy crap! The guy next to me stole my rock! He killed the person next to me! Help! Murder!"

Panic spread instantly.

Some frantically dug at the ground with their bare hands, trying to find resources to upgrade their shields; others piloted tiny spaceships, crashing around in space, crying out for home; and still others had already bared their fangs, beginning to hunt down the weak and plunder their resources.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He had seen too many apocalyptic scenarios. At this moment, panicking was useless; only by calming down could he find a way out of the predicament.

He's an Olympic fan, and more importantly, he's an adult; he's much calmer than those who just cry.

Just then, the mechanical voice sounded again:

[Superpower Awakening Complete!]

A soft white light fell from the sky and landed in Lin Chen's hand.

Lin Chen looked down and saw a short blade with a sheath in his hand.

The scabbard of the short blade is silver, with faint blue light patterns flowing across it. The moment you hold it in your hand, a warm feeling comes from your palm.

Lin Chen's pupils instantly shrank to pinholes!

This...this is an evolution truster!

His mind went blank for a second!

Isn't this the transformation device for Ultraman Nexus that he was just watching on the computer?!

Other people's superpowers are either strength amplification or elemental control, and at the very least, they can accelerate digging. His superpower is actually an Ultraman transformation device.

[Exclusive SSS-level superpower detected: Evolution Trustee, activated!]

[Basic Functionality: Hyperdimensional Exploration Unlocked!]

The next second, a map of the entire star field unfolded before Lin Chen's eyes!

All the information within a thousand miles appeared clearly in his mind:

The green dots are unclaimed resource planets, there are more than a dozen of them!

The red dots are those of the plunderers who have already killed people. One of the red dots is particularly eye-catching; that guy has three lives on his body!

There are also yellow specks of light, which are those ordinary star lords who are still struggling!

All information in the entire star field is under his control!

Meanwhile, the public channel was still in chaos, with everyone fighting tooth and nail for even the smallest amount of resources. Some were asking powerful people to help them, while others had already started showing off their achievements.

Lin Chen, looking at the Evolution Trustee in his hand, couldn't help but smile.

While others are fighting tooth and nail for a level 1 shield, he possesses the most powerful artifact in the entire universe!

He looked up into the distance. According to the coordinates he had detected, the nearest unclaimed resource planet was less than a ten-minute journey away.

It was an asteroid with a radius of one kilometer. Its core was strong enough to upgrade his shield to level 3, easily withstanding the radiation surge!

Lin Chen turned around and boarded his initial spaceship.

As soon as I sat down, the originally gray spaceship was instantly enveloped in a white light, and the originally simple instrument panel instantly transformed into a light energy display screen. Two silver words appeared on the ship's hull: Dawn.

His original initial spaceship has actually evolved directly into his exclusive capital ship, the Dawn!

The spaceship had air inside, so Lin Chen could clearly hear the humming sound of its startup.

Lin Chen gripped the control stick and started the spaceship.

"This survival game on this planet is the end of the world for others, but for me, it's my home turf."

He muttered something under his breath, and the spaceship suddenly accelerated, flying towards the unclaimed planet.

Meanwhile, people on the public channel were still panicking about the radiation surge, completely unaware that a monster with the power of Ultraman had emerged among them.
