I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Outside the city of Jiangnan, an endless snowfield stretches out.

cold.

This was Wang Wei's only feeling.

The wind on the snowfield was like a knife, cutting my face again and again.

Not far away, hundreds of eyes were staring at him, at a dying man.

"Wang Wei, just kill yourself."

"To trade your life for thirty years of peace for the alliance—it's a worthwhile price to pay!"

"Wang Wei, face reality! Your precognitive ability has been on cooldown for a whole year! The battlefield changes in an instant; what's the difference between that and being useless?"

"Sacrificing a useless 'prophet' in exchange for thirty years of respite for all humanity—for the greater good, for those who can still live... please understand."

"I understand the bigger picture..."

Wang Wei murmured to himself, then suddenly felt like bursting into laughter.

He defended the overall situation for five years, only to become a victim in the end.

He understood everyone's desire to live.

But who the hell will die in his place?

Wang Wei looked up at the blurry outline in the distance—Jiangnan City.

He risked his lifespan to protect his hometown, even knowing the future would follow.

At this moment, countless people in that city are staring at their screens.

The sound came through the live stream, intermittently.

"Won't he commit suicide? Isn't he a prophet? Prophets should sacrifice themselves."

"But who foresaw the disaster after his death?"

"Are you stupid? He can only predict the future once a year now, what good is that!"

"Exactly, just kill yourself already, stop dawdling!"

"Agree quickly! What if disaster strikes and you change your mind!"

"Die! Die!"

The sounds grew more numerous and louder.

……

Wang Wei closed his eyes, then opened them again.

A figure stepped out from the crowd.

Qianmengxun.

His girlfriend.

"Wang Wei," Qian Mengxun said in a cold voice, "this is a decision unanimously passed by the Alliance Council. For the survival of humanity."

Wang Wei slowly turned his head and looked at her.

How ironic.

Two weeks ago, the disaster proposed to exchange himself for thirty years of peace for humanity.

Initially, the league completely ignored it.

It was Qian Mengxun. That night, lying in his arms, she looked up at him and said, "Wang Wei, if you could foresee the disaster, would you keep your promise? We need a definite answer."

He foresaw it and gave the answer.

Wang Wei could have lied, or he could have remained silent.

But he told the truth anyway.

He is a "prophet," and every prophecy he makes concerns the life and death of billions of people.

He couldn't tarnish his identity with lies, even if they were dragging him toward hell.

However, the very next day, Qian Mengxun stood in the Alliance Council and publicly revealed the prophecy word for word—the calamity would abide by the conditions!

From that day on, the winds changed.

The number of votes in favor skyrocketed.

Until it passes unanimously.

Seeing Wang Wei remain silent, Qian Mengxun pursed her lips, raised her voice, and spoke clearly and forcefully, her words also reaching all the survivors through the live stream:

"According to the alliance's final resolution, this transaction requires the consent of all survivors."

"Now, on behalf of the Alliance, I declare—if any of the current survivors opposes exchanging Wang Wei for thirty years of peace for humanity, this deal is void!"

Dead silence.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

On the snow-covered plain, hundreds of people remained silent.

In survivor bases around the world, everyone held their breath in front of countless live-streaming screens.

Who would object?

It wasn't me who died.

One person's life for thirty years of peace.

It's a bargain.

No one objected!

Finally, there was some activity in the live stream.

"Just agree already, what are you waiting for!"

"That's right! Just die already! We'll be safe once we're dead!"

"Thirty years!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

Wang Wei suddenly laughed.

Laugh at your own stupidity.

Five years.

What were he protecting?

Wang Wei's gaze swept across the entire room once more.

Passed unanimously

These were the people he considered closest to him.

These are the people who climbed to the top of the league step by step by relying on his precognitive abilities.

Now, the first thing to do is push him into the abyss.

Wang Wei took one last look at Jiangnan City, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished.

Then he turned and walked into the depths of the snowfield.

There, a huge, twisted shadow seemed to be writhing.

step,

Two steps

Three steps

...

Just as he took his seventh step, his body suddenly began to turn into shimmering dust from the edges—

Like snow melting in the sunlight, it quickly dissipates in the cold wind.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, it vanished into nothingness.

"boom--"

Cheers erupted from survivor bases around the world!

"For thirty years, disaster will not befall us!"

"Very good"

"Finally, I don't have to live in fear every day anymore."

"goodgood"

"............."

Jiangnan City, Xingfu Community, 7th floor, east-facing unit.

"Ho—!"

Wang Wei suddenly sat up in bed, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Wasn't he forced to commit suicide by the league?

Where is this?

Wang Wei was breathing heavily and quickly looked around—

The familiar ceiling, the messy bedroom, toilet paper scattered on the floor...

On the bedside table, the phone screen was lit up:

2055年7月28日，18:47。

Wang Wei's pupils suddenly contracted. This was seven days before the global catastrophe, and also the day his talent awakened.

"I... I've been reborn?"

Wang Wei quickly got up and walked to the window to look outside.

The neighborhood was bustling with people taking walks, and the roads in the distance were filled with cars and people, creating a lively scene.

Although he couldn't believe it, the scene before him forced him to accept it.

He has returned to the time before the global catastrophe!

"My newfound power awakened today!"

His words had barely faded when a cold voice rang out:

[A suitable candidate has been detected. A global catastrophe is imminent. Please choose one of the following talents/abilities:]

Option A: Predicting the future (Restricted)

Option B: Safe House (Growth Type)

Unbeknownst to anyone, Wang Wei had a choice when he awakened.

In his past life, he chose A without hesitation—to foresee the future.

Then, an early warning was issued immediately, saving everyone around them.

Later, he became humanity's prophet, the banner of the alliance, and the savior.

Later, he was driven to his death by his own people...

And at this moment—

Wang Wei stared at the two options before him, remaining silent for a long time.

Outside the window, the sun was setting.

Darkness slowly crept into the room.

Wang Wei finally moved.

He raised his hand, hovering it over the two options.

A subtle, enigmatic smile curved at the corner of his lips.

This life—
