Riding on Chinese Mythology to Survive the Apocalypse [Interstellar Survival]

In the seventh year of the higher-dimensional invasion, the power of faith became humanity’s last hope for salvation.

Different mythological faiths granted different talents, the key to survival.

Yan Zhaoye looked at the words [Please select your faith system], scrolled to the very bottom, and resolutely chose the [Chinese Mythology System], which had the lowest survival rate.

In the live broadcast of the real world, a number suddenly lit up beside Chinese mythology, drawing a wave of ridicule.

A respected expert sighed and shook his head. “Another person who doesn’t know their place.”

Who could have guessed...

During the early days of pioneering, players hunted monsters and traded, barely scraping together enough to eat.

Level 1 Divine Miracle - Bountiful Harvest: Crop growth speed +80%, yield +80%.

Level 2 Divine Miracle - Shennong’s Herbal Compendium: Unlock the herb garden. Rare medicinal plants can cure illness and nourish beasts.

With meat and vegetables in every meal, Yan Zhaoye easily achieved culinary freedom.

The others had just finished fighting monsters, but suddenly the monster meat in their hands was hard to swallow.

The rain poured without end, and floods submerged the continent. Players struggled to hold their ground, retreating again and again.
