Deep Sea Starship Apocalypse

The First Awakening of Stars, the Descent of Floods

"System, recommend the most suitable cultivation method for me."

Yu Moyan's voice fell in his mind, and the light blue system panel instantly unfolded. Silver and gold light flowed between the text, finally settling on a striking title - "The Divine Star Technique".

"Nourishing the divine soul with the primordial essence of meteorites from outer space, stripping away the shackles of mortal consciousness, and elevating the divine soul into a unique Star God Body." The system's introduction carried a touch of arrogance, the words seemingly flowing with dazzling starlight. "By absorbing the afterglow of celestial phenomena and analyzing the subtle laws of the universe, one gradually unlocks the three fundamental abilities of the divine soul: Star Energy Manifestation, Spiritual Flight, and Divine Oracle Domain. Even more remarkably, the divine soul can reverse-catalyze genetic evolution, forming a two-way cycle of 'divine soul guiding genes, genes nourishing divine soul,' making it a heaven-class masterpiece for divine soul cultivation."

The core abilities of the cultivation technique appeared one after another on the panel, each exuding magnificence and nobility:

-Starry Sky Soul-Guiding Step: When moving, silver-gold star patterns will appear on the soles of your feet, and your body will transform into starlight. Every turn is as smooth and elegant as the movement of stars. Under the base effect, the speed is increased by 3 times, and there is no heavy sound when running, only accompanied by fine starlight. When walking in the air, it is like a star god walking on clouds.

- Divine Manifestation: The divine soul can condense into a silver-gold star-shaped phantom. The phantom wears a star-patterned divine robe and holds a star-shaped scepter, appearing elegant and sacred. The phantom possesses 80% of the physical body's combat power, can fight independently, explore in all directions, and is not bound by physical space—it can pass through alloy walls and move unimpeded through deep-sea waves.

- Divine Star Armor: A silver-gold divine armor manifested from divine soul power, engraved with celestial patterns all over its body. The helmet is a crown of radiant stars, yet it feels weightless, as if starlight has solidified on the skin, making it extremely light. In battle, the armor moves with the form of the divine soul, like "radiant stars moving, armor dancing with divine light." Every strike is accompanied by an explosion of stellar energy, combining magnificence and power.

- Divine Creation of the World - Divine Soul Returns to the Radiant: The ultimate ability, using one's own divine soul as a guide, initiates the Divine Era of the Radiant Star that covers the entire galaxy, nourishing the divine souls of billions of creatures, and can also strip away the origin of the enemy's divine soul and transform it into one's own power.

-All Stars Merge into One: The soul and body are completely integrated, and the power of the meteoric gene and the power of the radiant star soul are indistinguishable, becoming the ultimate existence of "Star God Unity". With a single thought, one can create a soul race, and with a single thought, one can destroy a soul domain, truly achieving "All Stars Merge into One, I Alone Am Supreme".

-Starry Sky Immaculate: The soul is endowed with a purity buff, immune to all mental pollution and evil erosion. Even when trapped in the nest of alien beasts or the mental trap of alien civilizations, it can maintain absolute clarity and fully demonstrate the pure will of the Lord of the Starry Sky.

- Divine Soul Sequence: It can analyze the divine soul system of any race, from alien civilizations to ancient beasts, and incorporate them all into the Starry Divine Sequence, realizing "taking all spirits as one's own use and integrating all laws as one's own way", perfectly adapting to the diverse civilization pattern after the planet's transformation.

-Radiant Star Manifestation: When one reaches the Perfected Divine Soul Realm, one can manifest a magnificent Radiant Star Goddess statue, standing tall amidst the heavens and earth, clad in a Star Goddess Robe and wielding a Star Scepter, awe-inspiring all races and causing all evil to retreat.

- Twin Resonance: Resonates with the Starfall Gene Technique in both directions, directly enhancing the soul by 10% and accelerating gene evolution by 20%; when genes break through, the soul simultaneously unlocks new abilities, achieving simultaneous peak growth of "physical body + soul".

Yu Moyan's gaze swept over these abilities, a burning light flashing in his eyes. This set of techniques perfectly matched his pursuit of "magnificence and nobility," and was even more in line with the cultivation path of the Starfall Era.

"System, this cultivation technique won't be very expensive, will it?" He suppressed his excitement and asked tentatively.

The system replied instantly, its tone relaxed: "Host, it's not expensive, just 1.2 million Star Crowns."

"??? Seriously?! This isn't expensive?" Yu Moyan almost jumped up. 1.2 million Star Crowns was more than a hundred times his previous savings. "Are you robbing me?"

"Host, you can owe it to me first, and pay me back slowly later." The system's voice carried a hint of slyness, completely unmoved by his complaints.

Yu Moyan sighed, looking helpless. "Fine, fine, I'll owe you for now."

He paused, then remembered a crucial question and pressed, "By the way, System, what level can this cultivation technique be cultivated to?"

"Don't worry, host. This cultivation technique can be cultivated to the peak of the Chenji Realm, which is also the Breaking Profound Realm." The system's voice carried a hint of pride. "This is a cultivation technique that can help you stand at the peak of the Starfall Era. You've hit the jackpot."

"Exchange it, I'll pay you back for now!" Yu Moyan no longer hesitated; the allure of the Breakthrough Realm was enough to make him ignore the debt in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive torrent of information surged into his mind. The cultivation formulas, star essence circulation paths, and methods for nourishing the soul of the "Radiant Star Divine Art" were imprinted on his consciousness like a silver-gold star map.

"System, I have one last question. Will this cultivation technique have any side effects? Or what if I die from practicing it?" Yu Moyan was still a little worried, after all, the previous gene modification almost cost him his life.

The system's tone instantly became incredibly confident, even tinged with a hint of boastfulness: "Host, trust me this time! This cultivation method has no side effects, no risk of death, and the entire cultivation process is painless; you'll only feel the comfort of being nourished by stellar energy!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this time." Yu Moyan breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.

He sat cross-legged on the soft bed, concentrating his mind and simultaneously circulating the "Meteor Gene Technique" and the "Radiant Star Divine Technique".

After the planet was terraformed, the stardust in space had long since transformed into liquid star essence, permeating the heavens and earth. Yu Moyan guided this silver-gold liquid star essence, slowly flowing into his body. Initially, the star essence passively flowed through his meridians, transforming his physical body and flushing out blocked meridians.

Gradually, the star energy converged towards the sea of ​​consciousness, slowly swirling and coalescing in the center, eventually forming a miniature meteorite core the size of a thumb. However, this star core was not flawless; its surface was uneven and covered with tiny cracks, trembling slightly as if it might collapse at any moment.

Time passed by second by second, and two hours flew by.

Under the continuous nourishment of the star essence, the uneven star core gradually became smooth, and the cracks slowly healed, settling firmly in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, emitting a faint silver glow.

"System, what realm am I at now?" Yu Moyan opened his eyes and asked impatiently.

The system's voice carried a hint of mockery: "Oh, you haven't entered the Spirit Realm yet."

"No way? Are you kidding me?" Yu Moyan instantly exploded. Two hours of arduous training and he hadn't even touched the threshold of the Spirit Illumination Realm. "I'm cultivating a Heaven-level technique, how could it be this slow?"

"Who knew you were so stupid? Your cultivation method is completely wrong!" the system mocked mercilessly. "By passively absorbing star essence to modify your body like this, you'll never break through to the Spirit Illumination Realm, let alone reach it!"

Enraged by the system's retort, Yu Moyan trembled with anger, his chest heaving. But he knew this wasn't the time to be angry. To break through his current limitations, he could only suppress his rage and grit his teeth, asking, "Then what should we do?"

"Host, listen carefully!" The system's voice turned serious. "Actively guide the Star Essence into your body, then circulate it along the twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. Finally, at your dantian, use your mental power to compress the Star Essence into a solid Star Core. Only then can you truly break through to the Spirit Illumination Realm!"

Yu Moyan suddenly realized that the problem lay in the difference between "proactive" and "compression".

When he came to his senses, he felt weak and sore all over, and he barely had the strength to lift his hand. His stomach was growling loudly with hunger.

"System, what's going on?" he asked in confusion.

"Host, it seems you haven't eaten for two days." The system's tone was somewhat nonchalant. "You were so engrossed in cultivation that you forgot about the time."

"Damn it! Why didn't you tell me how long it's been?" Yu Moyan was speechless. It turned out that he had been in seclusion for the past two days and hadn't even eaten.

"Host, you didn't ask either," the system replied matter-of-factly.

Yu Moyan was utterly speechless, completely speechless at this unreliable system.

He was too lazy to argue with the system anymore, so he got up and walked out of the room. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw his mother, Shen Ci'an, packing her backpack, while his father, Yu Yaohui, stood to the side, secretly stuffing a cigarette case into his pocket.

When Shen Ci'an saw him, she immediately smiled gently, walked over and patted his head, her tone concerned: "Son, do you have enough money? If not, ask your dad for more, so he won't secretly buy cigarettes and alcohol again."

Yu Yaohui immediately winked and frantically signaled to Yu Moyan, looking just like a henpecked old child.

"Mom, I have enough money, I don't need it." Yu Moyan shook her head with a smile, but her heart was warm.

Shen Ci'an said no more, changed into casual clothes, picked up his car keys and went out. The supercar's engine emitted a deep hum and soon disappeared at the entrance of the community.

Yu Moyan looked at his father, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Dad, you just bought these cigarettes last week, you haven't finished them all already, have you?"

Yu Yaohui scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled twice: "Son, you don't understand. You'll understand when you grow up."

Yu Moyan didn't press further, but simply smiled. Not long after, Yu Yaohui also changed into leather shoes, grabbed his briefcase, and hurriedly left.

He went back to his room, took out his phone, and ordered takeout. Less than an hour later, the delivery person called, and the food was left at the community security office.

Yu Moyan went downstairs to get his meal, and returned to his room a few minutes later with a steaming hot meal. After quickly finishing his food, he immediately went back to his bedroom, closed the door, and said in a deep voice, "System, sign in."

"Congratulations on your check-in, host. You have received 100 Star Crowns. Your debt has been automatically deducted, and your total debt is now 118 million Star Crowns."

Looking at the glaring "-1180000" on the panel, Yu Moyan fell into deep thought, then shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

He sat cross-legged again, calmed his mind, and began to cultivate according to the method instructed by the system. This time, he actively guided the liquid star essence, allowing it to flow slowly along the twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. Wherever the star essence passed, the meridians were continuously widened and strengthened, and the previously blocked meridians were completely cleared.

Five hours later, the star essence in Yu Moyan's dantian was finally compressed into a solid state, transforming into a silver star core the size of a little finger, emitting a faint silver light.

Spiritual Illumination Realm, Breakthrough!

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging star energy within his body, his heart filled with excitement.

"System, why are my star core and spiritual power silver? Shouldn't they be gold and silver?" Yu Moyan discovered another problem.

"Host, it's normal, don't worry." The system chuckled. "It's because your cultivation level isn't high enough that you can't sense the golden and silver radiance. Once you break through to the Chenji Realm, you'll be able to see it, and you'll also unlock the middle section of the cultivation technique."

Yu Moyan rolled her eyes, speechless. "Seriously, system? 120 million for just the first part? You're such a swindler!"

"Host, please be patient. This is the complete version of the cultivation method that leads directly to the final stage. The early middle sections are completely unnecessary, which is why it is so precious," the system explained earnestly.

Upon hearing "being able to cultivate to the Breaking Profound Realm," Yu Moyan instantly dispelled all his dissatisfaction.

He then remembered the issue of cultivation speed and asked, "System, are there any resources that can accelerate cultivation?"

The system's voice immediately turned gloating: "Yes, there is, but with so much debt, host, you shouldn't even dream about it."

Yu Moyan fell silent. He finally understood that the system was doing this on purpose.

He couldn't be bothered with this damn system anymore, so he closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

Meanwhile, on the land of the Starfall Era, an unprecedented catastrophe is quietly descending.

The torrential rain poured down like a celestial river, crashing onto the earth with a deafening roar. Within hours, the city streets were submerged, the muddy floodwaters carrying debris and broken branches. The water level continued to rise, inundating houses and bridges, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

From within the raging floodwaters, a terrifying colossal figure slowly emerged.

He was a hundred meters tall, his body mangled beyond recognition. Only his sternum remained, desperately protecting the half of his heart beating amidst the rotting flesh. Someone had severed half his head, leaving only a mutilated skull hanging from his neck, its eye sockets empty, from which wisps of smoke rose, slowly dripping along with rotting brain matter and murky liquid.

His muscle tissue had long since rotted and turned black, maggots crawling in the decaying flesh, constantly falling down his body and into the floodwaters, where they were instantly swept away by the murky waves. The tissue around his eyes was ulcerated and his brain was exposed, emitting a pungent, putrid stench that strangely mingled with the sweet, fishy smell of the torrential rain.

With each step he took, the floodwaters beneath his feet surged violently, and the space around him distorted slightly due to this terrifying aura.

This colossal shadow is named Half-Heavenly Skeleton - Azure Abyss.

He looked up into the distance, a cold killing intent flashing in his cloudy eyes. His massive body strode forward, slowly walking towards the direction where Yu Moyan was.

The floodwaters surged ever higher, and the torrential rains became ever more torrential. A calamity that would sweep across the entire era was hurtling toward Yu Moyan, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.
