In the year 3411 of the Galactic Calendar, in the Sirius Star System.
The Sirius Star System had a total of thirty-seven planets, orbiting the huge Sirius star in a complex double-ring pattern.
The violent light energy released by the huge Sirius star lit up the entire star system brightly.
On the planet farthest from the Sirius star, the surface was covered with magma and hot poisonous gases. The harsh natural environment made it almost impossible for any living creatures to survive there.
However, under the intense light of the Sirius star, a man was sitting on a fiery red rock, staring at the huge red sun in the sky, seemingly lost in thought. The high temperature that could melt the surface and the thick poisonous gases like fog seemed to have no impact on him at all.
This man had sharp and tough facial features, a slender figure, and exuded an indescribable power all over his body. His black and bright eyes were as sharp as knives, and there was also an unfathomable depth in them. He was none other than Gao Feng, the Sirius King, one of the strongest in the Bright Empire.
Suddenly, his brows twitched slightly. His divine sense roaming in the starry sky sensed a powerful fluctuation. With a thought in his mind, he said to himself, "They caught up so quickly... Arrogant and overbearing, fierce and domineering. This power is so strong! It's a king-level, no, an emperor-level powerhouse beyond the king level!"
"Sirius King..."
The divine sense sweeping across the starry sky was as violent and fierce as a volcanic eruption, and this greeting was also filled with intense hostility.
Pressed by the vast divine sense of the other party, the Sirius King's breathing tightened, and his body suddenly sank and disappeared into the ground.
It was just like an invisible meteorite hitting the earth. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the ground silently collapsed.
The scorched earth, magma, and rocks, everything there instantly collapsed and shattered. The infinite power that erupted spread out in rings one after another.
In an instant, the huge planet was shaking violently.
In the void outside the planet, a huge black dragon thousands of meters long was floating. Its golden-yellow dragon eyes were burning with fierce flames. Its huge and powerful body revealed endless dominance.
"I, the Overlord Dragon Emperor of the Black Dragon Clan." The visitor announced his identity solemnly.
The violent divine sense swept over again, and the Overlord Dragon Emperor found that the Sirius King was constantly diving deeper into the center of the earth. "Hand over the Xingtian Divine Armor, and I'll spare your life!" Although he said so, the Overlord Dragon Emperor showed no mercy when he took action.
Its huge claws suddenly reached forward, closed together. The huge planet with a diameter of over fifty thousand kilometers was like an egg being crushed and exploded with a loud bang. The unimaginable energy reaction turned into extreme heat and shock waves, surging out in all directions.
"Armor up." With a thought from Gao Feng, the Sirius Light Armor in the Source Power Sea responded and was summoned out.
The helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, gloves, waist armor, leg armor, and combat boots, the eight pieces of armor of the Sirius Light Armor combined into one, seamlessly forming a complete set of light armor that completely wrapped the Sirius King's whole body without leaving a single gap.
The whole set of battle armor had a simple and smooth appearance. Its dark blue exterior had a solemn texture. The tough edges and corners on the shoulders, chest and other parts gave people a great sense of oppression.
Despite the drastic energy changes around him, the Sirius King in the light armor remained unmoved. Although he could block this extremely domineering strike, he knew that today was a dead end.
At this time, thousands of huge black dragons had emerged from the void. Their powerful divine senses were like a net, completely blocking the space within a radius of millions of kilometers.
"Hand over the divine armor, and I'll spare your life..." The powerful divine senses of thousands of black dragons turned into one sentence and stabbed straight into the spiritual core of Gao Feng. The firm divine sense of a king-level powerhouse was almost crushed by this force.
Trapped in a desperate situation, Gao Feng's mood was as calm as water. More than a hundred years of experiences had tempered his nerves to be a hundred times tougher than steel.
Even though facing a certain death situation, he wouldn't have any negative emotions like weakness or fear. Instead, he could calmly consider gains and losses.
"There's no way to turn the situation around!" The Sirius King sighed secretly with a sense of loss. "But the Xingtian Divine Armor is the hope for the revival of the human race. It must not fall into the hands of the other party."
"Some things are more important and meaningful than life itself." Gao Feng remembered that his best friend had once said this sentence, and a faint smile appeared on his face. It was precisely because of such fearless beliefs that humans could gain a foothold in the vast universe.
"Despicable life, surrender is your only way out..." The divine sense of the Overlord Dragon Emperor swept over again, carrying disdain and contempt for humans. Driven by the vast and powerful force, this emotion was deeply imprinted in the heart of the Sirius King.
"As a human being, I'm proud of my own race. Do you understand dignity and pride? You big lizard!"
While coldly responding, the powerful source power in Gao Feng's Source Power Sea burned furiously. The light armor, his body, and even the most fundamental spiritual core of a person all melted and burned one after another, turning into the purest power.
The desperate burning also made the Sirius King break through his previous power limit. The Xingtian Divine Armor hidden in the Source Power Sea was urged by the fierce and noble divine sense of the Sirius King and immediately emitted an extremely bright divine light.

The Overlord Dragon Emperor sensed that something was wrong. With his power, it was still too late to retreat. But he couldn't bear to part with the Xingtian Divine Armor. With a turn of his divine sense, instead of retreating, the Overlord Dragon Emperor advanced. With his two claws closed together, he had already covered Gao Feng in his hands. He wanted to use his emperor-level powerful divine sense to suppress the self-explosion.
However, the power erupted by the bright divine light exceeded his imagination.
In an instant, the entire universe seemed to freeze. Only this brilliant divine light penetrated the positive and negative spaces and opened an extremely tiny hole in time and space.
When the light dissipated, the Sirius King and the Overlord Dragon Emperor disappeared forever from this universe and time.
"Ah..."
With a suppressed low cry, Gao Feng woke up sweating profusely.
In the darkness, the light blue luminous watch showed the time: 02:34. Above the time, the date was also displayed: April 5th, 3298.
The induction lights on the wall slowly lit up as Gao Feng got up. The soft light had a warm feeling but was not dazzling at all.
Gao Feng didn't pay attention to the lights. He just stared fixedly at the galactic calendar on the opposite wall, and his heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down.
On Black Stone Planet, the unified Galactic Calendar was used, and the time was in the 24-hour system according to the Earth's convention. For people who lived underground all year round, it wasn't unreasonable to use Earth time.
The calendar shown on the watch was normal and completely in line with Gao Feng's memory. The problem was that he had just had a very long dream.
In that dream, he had experienced countless battles and became a king-level powerhouse. But then the Black Dragon Clan invaded, the Bright Empire was defeated, and he escaped with the Xingtian Divine Armor. However, he was ambushed by the Overlord Dragon Emperor of the Black Dragon Clan and finally turned into a brilliant and incomparable divine light.
All the details in the dream were vivid in his mind. Gao Feng couldn't believe that it was just a long and wonderful dream.
But if it wasn't a dream, what was it? Foreseeing the future? Even with the experience and knowledge of more than a hundred years in the dream, Gao Feng couldn't understand everything he had experienced.
He got out of bed barefoot and took a glass of water from the water purifier in the kitchen. The groundwater from three thousand meters underground, after being filtered and disinfected layer by layer, was still cool and sweet.
Gao Feng drank three glasses in a row and felt a cool air spreading from his stomach. He calmed down a lot.
Even if all that was a dream, it was deeply engraved in his mind and became his memory. Including the emotions he had experienced, they were all so real. Gao Feng felt that all of this fit him so well, as if all of this was his future life.
"Having these memories is probably a good thing! At least, he still remembered a lot of cultivation secrets... I don't know if they're real or not!" Thinking of this, Gao Feng suddenly smiled. He was really stupid. Although there was no way to verify it, the cultivation secrets in his memory could be tested.
While Gao Feng was thinking, suddenly the ground shook under his feet and he almost fell. "An earthquake..." Gao Feng guessed instinctively. But the series of loud rumbling sounds made him immediately deny this guess.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed Gao Feng's mind. Right, today was the early morning of April 5th, 3298! In the long memory he had just acquired, this day was a very important day.
On this day, the underground races on Black Stone Planet, such as lizardmen, 幽狼 (you lang, I assume it's a certain race name, but I'll keep it in Chinese as I'm not sure of the exact translation), and green dwarves, formed a coalition army together and attacked the Zhongxing Mining Base, causing more than twenty thousand casualties and almost razing the mining base to the ground.
In this serious accident, although Gao Feng survived by chance, his uncle's whole family died. Even his first love, Wen Sisi, also died in this accident. His life trajectory was thus changed.
When Gao Feng was a child, his parents disappeared during an interstellar exploration. Gao Feng was raised by his uncle. His uncle was a middle-level manager of the Zhongxing Mining Group. Because of the mining on Black Stone Planet, Gao Feng moved here with his uncle.
Gao Feng didn't expect that those memories would actually come true. Those once tragic and painful memories were like a huge stone pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Feng suddenly woke up. Being able to start over again was his chance to change his fate! However, with his current meager strength, could he change history? This battle was extremely cruel and was definitely not a game. Any mistake would cost him his life.
These thoughts flashed through Gao Feng's mind, and his movements couldn't help but slow down. He raised his head and happened to see the Tang sword hanging on the wall.
The ebony scabbard, the purple-gold fittings, and the hilt was wrapped with black thin ropes. The sword body was slender and simple, having a low-key luxury in its solemnity.
Gao Feng took down the long sword and gently pulled it out of the scabbard. The sword body shone with silver light, as if condensed from a silver glow. At the bottom of the blade were engraved two characters: Si Feng.
The Si Feng Sword. It was the seventeenth birthday gift given to him by Sisi. Even the thin ropes on the hilt were wrapped by her personally. Gao Feng regarded this sword as a treasure and wouldn't let others even take a look at it.
Holding the Si Feng Sword, Gao Feng thought of the lively and lovely Sisi and couldn't help but show a smile. What was there to hesitate about at this time! Although he wasn't the Sirius King who roamed the galaxy more than a hundred years later, he was always Gao Feng.
Having lost the care of his parents since childhood, Gao Feng had become very resolute. After experiencing that big dream, he became even more decisive and tough.
"Some things are more important and more meaningful than life..." At this moment, Gao Feng's gaze was extremely firm.
Although knowing it was impossible, Gao Feng still tried to turn on the personal light computer on his wrist and tried to contact Sisi.
"Network anomaly, unable to connect..." The light computer elf reminded him. Just as in his memory, the quantum communication optical network had been cut off.
Gao Feng changed into a black multi-functional suit, tied a black thick belt that he usually used for cultivation practice, and carrying the Si Feng Sword, he quickly walked out of the room. He knew very well that this would be a huge adventure. But knowing everything that was about to happen was his huge advantage.
Black Stone Planet was the thirty-seventh planet on the periphery of the Sirius Star System. Its official name was Sirius 37. Because the surface of this planet was covered with huge black stones, it was also called Black Stone Planet.
The environment on Black Stone Planet was harsh and not suitable for human survival. But underground, there were rich mineral deposits. The Zhongxing Mining Group contracted Black Stone Planet and established a semi-permanent underground base here. There were a total of more than 30,000 employees and their families.
The continuous deep mining by the Zhongxing Mining Group had a serious conflict with the underground life races. Although there weren't many lives on the surface of Black Stone Planet, deep underground, there was a rich and complex biosphere.
Among them, there were no lack of advanced intelligent lives. For example, lizardmen and green dwarves not only had their own languages but even had their own writings.
According to the rules of the Galactic Alliance, if a race had a systematic writing, it would be judged as a second-level civilization. Normally, if a mining group wanted to mine, it had to reach an agreement with these second-level civilizations.
However, in order to save costs, the Zhongxing Mining Group completely ignored these low-level races and used violence to force mining. To them, these low-level races were no different from wild beasts.
The fierce means of the mining group, forced mining, not only killed many underground races but also completely destroyed the biosphere in the underground world. The underground races couldn't bear it anymore and launched this desperate counterattack.
Gao Feng knew very well that originally, it was because the upper management of the mining group was arrogant and ignorant and didn't pay attention to these underground races that the situation became more and more serious until it was completely out of control.
Today, he must find a way to correct these mistakes.
