(No barriers to entry, start your love for the world's number one sport with this book) Sitting in the Old Trafford dressing room, Xie Yan was filled with anticipation. Seventeen-year-old Xie Yan's first appearance as a player at the Theatre of Dreams, albeit only as a substitute... [Ding~] [Time slowly rolled by...] [As you, at thirty-four, swung your golf club with all your might, watching the ball streak across the sky, did your eighteen-year-old self flash before your eyes?] [Once renowned for your sheer speed, now, aging, you can only rest on your laurels. Watching generation after generation of prodigies emerge on the field, you suddenly regret your earlier stubbornness.] [Perhaps... it's not too late to start now!] [Lao Deng's Counterattack System Binding Successfully!] [Mission: Play in the league again, reward...] Thirty-four? Lao Deng's Counterattack? Seventeen-year-old Xie Yan stared blankly at the panel that suddenly appeared before him, pointing at himself. "Me?"

Countless geniuses in world football shine like meteors, fleeting and dazzling, leaving behind only endless "what ifs." No Nerazzurri player has ever grieved for their "King" Adriano, and no Rossoneri player has ever underestimated the potential of Pato. Had Pogba not fallen on hard times, Levante might have become only the third team to successfully defend the World Cup title. Had Deisler lived up to his potential, would Germany have already lifted the World Cup on home soil? The world wonders: what would have happened if Balotelli had a normal mind? What if Baggio hadn't suffered the injuries that would have forced most people to quit sports? What if Bojan hadn't suffered anxiety? What if... injuries are relentless, and self-discipline is hard to maintain. The tragedy of football's "Zhongyong" (a misfortune) never ceases. In his previous life, Lin Qiu, lacking talent, was unable to step onto the pitch of his dreams. Reborn in 2014, he activated the [Fallen Starlight] system, gaining the ability to access the unrealized talents of these prodigies. At the same time, he discovered that the system's functions went beyond this... The lost stars converged in Lin Qiu, forming a new galaxy, carrying those talents that had never been fully realized. Lin Qiu decided: to reach the top of the football world and become the undisputed king!
