Reborn with Ten Billion Spiritual Power!

Parallel world, East Sea City.
Huff—huff—
In a fifty-square-meter apartment in Osmanthus Community, a young man of about twenty-two or twenty-three suddenly sat up in bed, gasping for breath.
“Wasn’t I killed by the Skrulls? How could it be...”
Glancing around at the familiar surroundings, Su Yu hurriedly reached for the phone on his bedside table.
“May 29th, 2120... I’ve been reborn?! And I’ve returned to before the great upheaval?”
Staring at the date displayed on his phone, Su Yu was utterly incredulous.
According to his memory, on June 1st—just three days from now—the Skrulls would invade Blue Star.
The Skrull Star was a civilization one tier above Blue Star, possessing the power to annihilate humanity within a month.
However, according to the rules set by the cosmic god-tier civilization—the Singers:
When an advanced civilization invades a weaker one, the Singers would grant the weaker civilization a period of protection and certain means of self-defense.
Thus, the Skrulls’ full-scale invasion was postponed for a year, until June 1st, 2121.
At the same time, the Singer civilization provided humanity on Blue Star with two ways to defend themselves.
First, the awakening of psionic power.
At that time, all the latent psionic energy stored deep in the mantle would be released, enhancing the abilities of every human on Blue Star.
Second, a hyper-realistic game—Evolution.
When a Blue Star human reached level fifty in Evolution, their power in the game could be manifested in the real world.
Unfortunately, before Su Yu’s rebirth, world governments were lost in terror over the Skrull invasion and had no idea that Evolution could grant real strength.
It wasn’t until half a year later that countries began to take the game seriously and encouraged everyone to enter and explore it.
A late start meant falling behind at every step.
On June 1st, 2121, the fully prepared Skrulls launched their massive invasion, wave after wave of assaults crashing down upon humanity.
Su Yu himself died in the final waves of the Skrull attacks.
...
Staring at the date on his phone, Su Yu’s expression froze; he was speechless for a long while.
It took him a great deal of time to fully collect himself:
“Evolution’s servers should go live in three days. I have to buy a game helmet before then!”
“Also, during the first login, the game helmet will absorb all the psionic energy within a five-kilometer radius. I’d better bring the helmet to a psionic wellspring...”
Muttering quietly to himself, Su Yu sprang into action and dialed the special line to order a game helmet.
He was not one to sit and wait for death.
As for whether Su Yu’s rebirth would trigger a butterfly effect and change the fate of humanity, even he was uncertain.

Whatever happens, I’ll do my part and leave the rest to fate!
...
Three days later, at 7:30 in the morning, Su Yu was driving his battered old car to a rarely visited hill on the outskirts of East Sea City.
“Cloud Ridge Mountain, this is the place.”
Carrying the game helmet from his back seat, Su Yu began the climb on foot.
A helmet for Evolution cost thirty thousand credits, nearly draining all his savings from a year’s work since graduation, but Su Yu didn’t care in the slightest.
Humanity was on the verge of destruction—what use was money now?
Cradling the helmet at the mountaintop, Su Yu gazed at the sweeping landscape, filled with emotion.
At this moment, almost no one in the country knew of the obscure Cloud Ridge Mountain, but in half a year, its name would be known nationwide.
Due to the awakening of psionic energy, the world would open up twenty-four giant, one hundred and eight large, and thirty-six hundred small “psionic wellsprings,” spewing forth streams of energy.
And the “Cloud Ridge Mountain Psionic Well” would be the largest in the world!
Time ticked by, second by second.
“Eight o’clock! The Evolution servers are about to open. The upheaval is about to begin!” Su Yu’s face grew solemn.
Soon, the ground began to shake violently.
About two kilometers north of the summit, the earth split open, revealing a bottomless chasm!
At the same time, vast torrents of milky white and pale violet psionic energy gushed from the fissure, spreading in all directions, a column of energy blasting toward the sky.
“It’s beautiful!” Su Yu squinted, watching the now tangible “psionic pillar.”
The psionic wellsprings seemed to be a gift to humanity from Blue Star, meant to strengthen them. But Su Yu knew it was also the root of their suffering.
In about an hour, Skrull ships would arrive, seize the wellspring, and build a base.
Not only would humanity gain nothing from the psionic well, but the Skrulls would use its energy to create terrifying monsters, causing untold trouble for mankind.
Precisely because of this, allowing his helmet to absorb the energy here would not only do no harm, but would actually weaken the Skrulls’ power.
A win-win situation!
Once he saw the energy surging forth from the earth, Su Yu quickly donned the game helmet.
“Enter game!”
“Loading Evolution...”
The familiar game prompt sounded in his ears as Su Yu’s consciousness connected to the helmet, drawing him into the deep world of the game.
“Ding, psionic substance detected nearby. Absorb now?”
“Yes!”
“Beginning absorption. Please wait.”
Outside, the mighty psionic energy soaring into the clouds seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, all flooding toward Su Yu at the summit.

Endless waves of psionic energy wrapped around him layer upon layer, sucked into the helmet.
In the game, Su Yu’s “Psionic Value” on his stats panel skyrocketed!
One hundred thousand!
One million!
Ten million!
One hundred million!
At last, the value stopped at ten billion.
Su Yu couldn’t help but marvel.
Before his rebirth, he had entered the game half a year later and had gained only eleven points of psionic value.
But now—ten billion!
“Psionic absorption has reached the upper limit. Enter the game now?”
“No, exit the game!” Su Yu decided instantly.
In an hour, the Skrull ship would arrive. He had no wish to be the first human captured alive.
After logging out, Su Yu removed the helmet.
Because the helmet had drawn in almost all the surrounding energy, the “Cloud Ridge Mountain Well” to the north was now feeble and listless, all its earlier grandeur gone.
Not sparing a glance, Su Yu hugged the helmet and dashed down the mountain.
At the foot, he jumped into his battered car, floored the accelerator, and sped out of the area.
...
An hour later, a rift several kilometers wide tore open above Cloud Ridge Mountain.
A two-hundred-meter-long, brown-gray spaceship landed atop the summit.
Inside, a Skrull female pilot with pale green skin reported to her superior:
“Commander, the Number 001 giant psionic wellspring is showing anomalies. Its output is equivalent only to that of a minor well.”
“How is that possible?” The Skrull male commander in the control room was shocked. “Did we land in the wrong place?”
“No, sir. The coordinates are correct.”
“Then... we’ll land here as ordered. All instructions will follow headquarters’ command,” the Skrull commander declared.
“Yes, sir.”
