The Apostle of the Astral Realm
Chaptre 002. Astral Travel
Go back to his room…
Zhou Jing threw himself onto the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze. Mind fucked.
Initially, the plan was to obtain a degree at a higher education institution so that it would be easier for him to find a job. He does not need a high salary for his work. It would be better if he stayed closer to home.
Eldest Brother and Second Brother have separated from the family and separated. They all go to live and rarely come back. Meanwhile, his parents are getting older, and his three remaining younger brothers are still underage. The oldest is only ten years old and still needs to be treated.
One of the grown children must survive to protect the family. Since his two older brothers were unwilling to hinder their future, he had to take responsibility. Zhou Jing's plan after graduation was to work around and take care of his family at the same time.
As for his career and future, he would only do so slowly. He could wait until his younger siblings reached adulthood before considering further. After all, he did not have big ambitions for his career path and felt that he was young and able to wait. He didn't need to worry like his two older brothers.
But ... sudden forced migration disrupts his future plans.
He did not say anything about the official policy, but the attitude of his family really “warms the heart.”
In the interstellar era, for various reasons, the concept of "family" has long since faded gradually. However, although the relationship between the family members was somewhat indifferent, Zhou Jing had always been careful to protect them. He felt that they were still family in his heart.
However, even though he loved his family, they did not seem to retaliate. Compared to asking him to stay, his father and brother seemed to want additional interstellar immigrants to give them the possibility of a career advantage, so they can't wait to make him a scapegoat.
"They sacrificed me so that everyone would benefit?"
Zhou Jing stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before turning his head and looking around the room.
The edge of the table loses its angle, and there is tape wrapped around it. It was broken when he was nine. Her curtain lost two hooks, which she used as earrings in her high school, and accidentally went missing. That's when he ... 12.
There were also seven different Super League posters around his room. He has been a loyal fan of the league series since he was 13 years old. These posters are different celebrity players that he likes …
And here ... and there …
Zhou Jing's gaze slowly and carefully swept across every corner of the room despite being only 12 square meters wide.
He had lived in this room for over ten years. There are traces of his own life everywhere.
Outside the window was a familiar sight that he had seen for over ten years. A sunset hung over the horizon, covering the steel forest with a golden mantle. The car floated at a limited speed casually through the tall buildings. Nameplates of tall buildings in the distance lit up and began to emit colorful neon lights as if announcing the arrival of night time.
There are familiar family and friends here, familiar streets and buildings. He practically spent his youth here.
No matter how far a city was from another city, they were still considered under the same blue sky. As for the distance between the two planets, they are so far away that they appear to be out of reach.
Interstellar migration is a lucky thing. Some are willing to leave, some want to survive. Some wanted to leave their past behind and pursue the benefits of being a pioneer, while others were unwilling to leave the land where they lived for a long time, unable to meet their family and friends anymore.
Ever since he was young, Zhou Jing had never thought of the possibility of leaving. He did not want to leave yet, however, no one could help him. He can only rely on himself.
“As long as you are selected to be forced to migrate, unless there are special circumstances, you must follow the official settings to emigrate... Special circumstances?”
Zhou Jing muttered to himself. Suddenly, his gaze was locked onto the Super League poster.
He suddenly sits down, pulls out his phone, and seeks out Supers' support policies and clauses. His gaze swept through many complicated policies and finally stopped at one of them. He read it out loud softly:
“Anyone who meets the definition of 'Super' is not within the reach of galactic immigrants. If you randomly withdraw your quota for forced immigration, you will be released unconditionally. No need for approval, and your immediate family will also enjoy this right.”
“Super... If I become Super, I will be exempt from forced immigration..”.
Zhou Jing muttered to himself, his eyes shining.
"Is there any chance I'll be super when I wake up tomorrow?"
“If I raise my hand, the sky will collapse. If I step on my foot, the earth will sink. No matter how big the world is, I can go wherever I want.”
He could not help but daydream for a while. In the end, he halted his fantasy and gently slapped himself before sighing.
There are several ways to become Super: genetic potions, acquiring Super Knowledge, developing mutations, etc. However, this was not something that an ordinary person like him could do.
Genetic herbs are strictly controlled by the government. They cannot be found on the shelf, and are not supported by e-commerce. Ordinary people could not afford it even if they wanted to. The spread of the knowledge of the superpowers was also tightly controlled, and civilians were unable to make contact with it.
As for the mutation, he had to find an environment or experiment that could give him the mutation. Then he had to make sure the mutation stuck to him if he found it. Most likely he would continue on, filled with strange things sticking out of him.
Under the tight control of the Community government, the only way for ordinary people to become Super is through “self-awakening.”
However, talent was the greatest barrier between humans. Almost the moment someone was born, they would know if they were destined to have Super talent.
He had not awakened any superpowers for many years, so it was unrealistic to expect him to suddenly wake him up. If he were to put his hopes on a problem with such a low probability, it would be no different from putting his hopes on the toilet paper that fell from the sky when he finished it in the toilet. There was a higher chance he was sitting there and waiting for his shit to dry up.
“Super...” Zhou Jing stared at the poster with a complicated expression.
When she was young, like most children, she also fantasized about becoming a Super. However, as he got older, he gradually lost his overwhelming hope and accepted the fact that he would become an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
If there is anything good about him, it is that he is self-conscious. He knew that he did not have an extraordinary intelligence, an extraordinary family background, or amazing perseverance. Although he was quite handsome, he was not at the point where God would struggle to feed him ... In short, he is ordinary.
In the future, he will have a job that he does not like or hate. He would live a standard life day after day. Like countless ordinary people, it would serve as a cog that rotated the wheels of society. The greatest contribution to such people was to produce offspring and contribute to the expansion of human civilization.
Sometimes, when he's free, he'll see the Supers in the Supers League. He is eager to witness the rich and colorful life of this “man super”. However, no matter how much he missed her, it was not his world.
“Hahhh..
Zhou Jing rubbed his temple and sighed. He removed the plan of being Super from his mind.
Although she felt constrained by her family's attitude, she tried her best not to think about it. He knew that it would not help his current situation.
He forced himself to calm down and found a way to resolve the dilemma of forced migration.
However, one after another solutions emerged, but he rejected them one by one ... If it were so easy to get rid of forced migration, it wouldn't be called "forced." The Interstellar Joint Government is determined to ensure that there are enough immigrants for any interplanetary expansion.
The more he tried to think of a solution, the more Zhou Jing felt there was nothing he could do. Losing control over his sudden future made him feel lost and confused.
Unknowingly, the sun had set, and the night sky was hanging in the sky.
There was no knock on the door all along.
He threw and turned on the bed, thinking about where he should go. He did not know when his drowsiness crept up, but his eyelids gradually became heavy, and his mind sank into a state of chaos.
A nostalgic childhood, a future that leaves its trajectory, a long-buried fantasy, a life destined for mediocrity, a reality that is hard to escape from…
All of this floated up and down in his mind, turning into an indescribable dream. It was as if the time scale had turned into an image. The past and the future unfolded before his eyes as if he was standing in a higher dimension, silently facing his mediocre life.
And here in a daze, half asleep ...
The sound of thunder suddenly exploded in his mind!
The explosion!!!
Zhou Jing's body trembled violently, and his drowsiness instantly dissipated.
He opened his eyes unconsciously.
At this moment, the scene before him had changed.
In front of him was no longer a familiar room. Instead it is a universe filled with stars, surrounded by slowly rotating nebulae.
The stars surrounded each other, shining brightly.
He felt as if he was in the middle of a galaxy!
“???”
What the hell is going on?
Did something happen while I was asleep?
Zhou Jing's head was buzzing, and he was perplexed.
Suddenly, a wisp of starlight condensed in front of him and formed a large neon panel. There were words on it, like a waterfall.
At this moment, a huge amount of information appeared in his mind!
