On the internet, a viral post had been trending.
The post mentioned a common situation at the moment with dream disease.
A group of people had been falling into deep sleep and failing to wake up even after a week had gone by.
It was a global situation, though the scale was less than 1% of the population being affected.
"What virus is this? I'm even feeling afraid of going outside now."
"Don't you think it is too far fetched to call it a virus?"
"What do you know? This is definitely a virus and the government should know something about it."
"Indeed! The authorities should stop sleeping and do something about this virus!"
Within just a few hours the discussions on the topic had become more and more clearly something was not right.
In the past two days, the topic wasn't as big even though the government had not suppressed the news.
Things were clearly getting out of hand all over, but the authorities finally didn't let them down.
The moment the search reached millions, it was completely erased.
Searching for this kind of information was no longer giving results.
Even though new topics would pop up, they vanished the next second.
Without even realizing the situation turned into that of a few days back.
"I heard that some people have woken up by themselves! What virus!"
"Yeah I knew it! How could there be a virus that causes people to sleep. What a joke?"
The discussions kept shifting and the government very welcoming of this sort of debates.
In a certain apartment, a young man snapped his eyes open and looked around vigilantly.
He then turned his head towards the calendar and everything in the room with a strange expression.
"So I've been reborn!" He turned to look at the phone on the table, and turned the screen on just to make sure.
"And it is before the Steller storm strikes the planet resulting in global change." He murmured.
But he then, his eyes fell on the picture of a woman sleeping in patient gowns.
Looking at closely he saw a headline on his phone, that made his face turn solemn.
*Sleeping disease takes the world by storm!*
*Internal studies confirm no virus*
This two topics managed to trigger something.
"This! How could I have forgotten about it. This was a global phenomenon before the Steller storm struck." The moment he saw the news about people in coma, some hidden memories resurfaced.
"Back then it was claimed that this in the comma gained the most after this Steller energy storm. Even some speculated that it was a special opportunity, but I never really got to really experience it. It seems there is more to it than rumors." Li Xian thought seriously as he closed his eyes.
"No! I have heard of this, it was just that at the time I had already forgotten about this issue, even when it was being mentioned I simply overloked it. Thinking back, it was as though memories of this events had been completely erased from my mind by some force."
Li Xian suddenly turned solemn as he thought of this. As far as he could remember, back then some talented figures rose and eventually even gained the attention and favor of foreign powerhouses.
But thinking about it now, things seemed far from simple.
As far as he could remember, the strongest person in their Era was the Cold Empress, and she had joined the Empyrean Cold Palace.
The other talented individuals also were the same, but this didn't make sense.
Now that he thought about it, things were far more complicated than he had looked at them.
He was just like the rest of the mediocre crowd, not appreciated by any faction.
He associated the rumors he heard with the current widespread sleeping sickness, and developed some assumptions.
"Since there might be a chance, I should be careful and make right decisions early on. I should also seek to acquire some treasures that I can when time is still ripe." He thought as he calmed himself down.
He saw no benefit in panicking, Li Xian placed the phone on the table.
"I remember that after the energy storm, things changed rapidly, and mutations erupted all over the world. Numerous opportunities also appeared that were responsible for giving birth to some extraordinary figures while someone like me just ended up burried in the crowds." He clenched his palms.
He was unwilling to be ordinary just like his past life and wanted to change his fate.
He then looked at that picture at the edge of the table. It was a picture of his family he had not seen for a long time.
"Mom! Dad! Little sisters! That is great! You are still alive." He was elated and picked up the phone again.
"Let's contact my parents first and spend some time with them. I remember because of the energy storm my family were among those that got unlucky. This can't happen again." He thought to himself as his eyes appeared deep.
Even though he had not made much achievements compared to the Cold Empress, he had lived long and his mind underwent some kind of tempering.
Having been reborn, he was no longer the same person, but his family was one of his biggest regrets.
Now that he had been given a second chance at life, Li Xian had no plans to fail them.
Everything he lost he was determined to protect.
He put his left hand on his cheek and felt it was wet. Tears were flowing down his face as he looked at the picture on the table.
He didn't waste time and picked up the phone.
He dialled a number and waited.
"Hello! Son! You finally remembered to call your mom!" The moment it connected a voice hurriedly sounded on the other side.
"Hello! Mom! I'm not busy recently and decided to come home, and spend some time with you guys!" He spoke while witholding his emotions.
"That's great! Your dad and sisters will definitely be happy to hear this!" The woman's voice on the other side sounded excited about his decision.
"Okay! Mom, I have to go." Li Xian finally ended the call after some trivial talk with his mother.
He had confirmed his parents were still alive with this phonecall.
He had no idea how he got this second chance at life, but decided to sieze it at all costs.
He was just about to focus on trying to remember any opportunities he should be ready for when he felt a strange sound.
It was resonating from all directions and making him dizzy.
"This!..."
He indeed felt sleepy and before he knew it his eyelids got heavy.
Even with his current willpower he felt helpless and was swept by the sweet sound, falling into a dream.
When he regained his focus, he was standing in an ice plain with stretches of mountains on all sides.
He turned to look into sky and discovered clouds forming an inverse canopy.
Thunder kept flashing in the clouds, and along with it was a heavy supressive pressure.
"Wrong! This place!" He suddenly realized what had happened instantly.
