PDLP Chapter 236 This world can never be the same as before!
Chapter 236 This world can never be the same as before!
Night Watch headquarters, command center.
The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could drip water.
On the huge display screen, spiritual energy monitoring data from all over the country was jumping up in real time, and those numbers were climbing at a heart-stopping speed.
President Qin stood in front of the screen, his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
He never expected that just as the spiritual energy vortex in Lu County dissipated, and before he even had a chance to call Master Li to receive his teachings, the third wave of spiritual energy suddenly erupted.
And it came so suddenly and so quickly, without any buffer.
"President Qin."
Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps behind me. The head of the monitoring department walked over quickly, holding a newly printed data report in his hand, the edges of the paper crumpled.
"The concentration of spiritual energy is rapidly increasing."
The head of the monitoring department handed the report to General Manager Qin, pointing to the graph on it and speaking very quickly.
"It has only been ten minutes since the outbreak, and it has already reached twice the previous level, and it is still rising without any sign of slowing down."
President Qin took the report and glanced at it.
Those data, every single line of them, were shocking.
"Based on the data models from the previous two spiritual tides," the head of the monitoring department continued, "the final concentration of spiritual energy will likely reach about five times the previous highest value."
Five times.
President Qin's fingers tightened slightly.
"What it will ultimately turn out to be is not our focus right now." President Qin put down the report and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what adverse effects it will have."
The head of the monitoring department took a deep breath and opened another report.
"Based on current AI simulations, a sharp increase in spiritual energy concentration would paralyze most infrastructure facilities."
"The most serious issues are communication and network infrastructure."
He pointed to the distribution map on the report, which was marked with densely packed red dots.
"These red markers indicate areas where the concentration of spiritual energy has exceeded the equipment's limits, mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal areas and the central plains."
"In these areas, communication base stations and fiber optic lines will be damaged on a large scale, and mobile phone signals, landline phones, and Internet services may be interrupted."
President Qin nodded without saying anything.
This was to be expected. When the concentration of spiritual energy increases to a certain level, it will interfere with electronic devices. This is a fact that has been proven since the revival of spiritual energy.
I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"At the same time," the head of the monitoring department continued, "according to relevant data analysis, the rapid increase in spiritual energy concentration is also accompanied by abnormal crustal movements."
President Qin frowned.
"Abnormal crustal movement? You mean there will be an earthquake? Approximately what intensity? Did the AI provide a specific area?"
The head of the monitoring department shook his head. "The intensity cannot be predicted at this time."
"And the scope... is the entire country and even the whole planet Earth."
President Qin was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
The head of the monitoring department swallowed hard and repeated, word by word:
"Nationwide, and even the entire planet Earth."
President Qin stood there, silent for several seconds.
Then, he slowly began to speak:
"So, the entire planet Earth might tremble together?"
The head of the monitoring department nodded with difficulty.
"According to the AI's calculations, that is indeed the case."
The command center fell silent instantly.
The busy staff paused for a moment.
The entire blue planet trembled?
What does this mean?
President Qin stood there, his mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.
If the entire Earth shook together...
What impact will that have?
Before he could think it through, he heard footsteps behind him again.
"President Qin."
An old and steady voice rang out.
President Qin turned around and saw Master Xuanming striding into the command hall.
"Senior Xuanming." President Qin nodded slightly.
Master Xuanming walked closer, glanced at the data, and then at the spiritual energy distribution map on the big screen.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
"I just came from the AI analysis room. Based on the current situation, this should be a global seismic tremor."
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clearly heard by everyone present.
"The rapidly increasing concentration of spiritual energy has awakened the dormant ley lines."
He paused, his tone becoming serious.
"The earth is very likely gradually returning to its former state."
President Qin was stunned upon hearing this.
To restore it to its former state?
What does it mean for the earth to be restored to its former state?
He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but Master Xuanming had already turned around and was looking at him.
There was something in that gaze that President Qin couldn't quite put his finger on.
Before President Qin could speak, Master Xuanming directly uttered four words.
"The sky is round and the earth is square."
Mr. Qin's mind went completely blank for a moment.
The sky is round and the earth is square.
He recognized each of the four characters individually, but when they were put together, they gave him a very unreal feeling.
Will Earth change from a sphere to a flat planet with a round sky?
is it possible?
If that were to happen, would humanity still exist?
Everyone in the command center was stunned.
Some people stared with their mouths agape, some wide-eyed, and some didn't even notice when the documents in their hands fell to the ground.
"senior……"
President Qin spoke with difficulty, his voice somewhat dry.
"You mean... Earth will become... flat?"
Master Xuanming did not answer immediately.
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his voice and said:
"Gentlemen."
"This is currently just a guess based on the data collected by the AI."
"Even if it does happen, it will be a long process."
He looked around, his gaze resolute.
"Now, what we face is overcoming the current difficulties."
President Qin came to his senses.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock surging within him, and nodded with difficulty.
Then, he turned around and faced everyone in the command hall.
"Relay my orders."
His voice regained its usual composure.
"Activate the nationwide emergency response plan."
"All localities should immediately make corresponding evacuation preparations and prioritize the safety of personnel."
"In addition, we will mobilize all the computing power of the AI to analyze the possible causes of the earth's vein anomalies."
"yes!"
Several people in charge responded at the same time, then turned and quickly left.
President Qin stood still, watching the busy figures, and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he looked at the head of the monitoring department.
"Aside from the anomalies mentioned above, are there any others?"
His voice was calm, but only he knew how many questions were churning inside him.
"Is the situation stable in all the secret realms? Have any unusual phenomena occurred in those special areas?"
The head of the monitoring department quickly flipped to another report and skimmed through it.
No anomalies have been found in the secret realms and special areas.
He looked up and added, "There has been no unusual activity at the other unknown energy sources we discovered earlier."
After hearing this, President Qin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If there are no abnormalities, that's a good thing.
If these places also fall into chaos, then the situation will become troublesome.
After all, no one can guarantee that those who have returned to the world will be as approachable as Master Li.
Little days...
This serves as a lesson from the past.
Bookmark this page to continue reading "How Did I Become a Taoist Ancestor While Selling Peach Wood Swords via Livestream?" anytime, anywhere.
Although the Little Life is now completely closed off from the outside world and cut off all contact with the outside world, the Night Watchers still obtained some information related to the Yin-Yang Bureau.
The contents of that intelligence...
President Qin's gaze turned cold.
The gods of this small world... can only be described as barbarians, even if they are gods, they are still people who eat raw meat and drink blood.
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Mr. Qin took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.
Liu Zhenguo.
He put the phone on speakerphone.
"Zhenguo, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Zhenguo's voice carried a mix of excitement, nervousness, and... something indescribable.
"President Qin, Master Li has emerged from seclusion!"
President Qin was immediately invigorated.
"well!"
He said "good" twice, and a weight was lifted from his heart.
Master Li has emerged from seclusion; this is more reassuring than any other news.
"Does Master Li have any instructions?" President Qin asked hurriedly.
"some."
Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath and relayed Li Jun's words in detail.
The third wave of spiritual energy has begun.
A surge of spiritual energy erupted, causing unusual activity in the earth's veins.
We need to make appropriate preparations for the response.
After listening, President Qin nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I understand."
He paused, then asked, "Anything else?"
Liu Zhenguo remained silent for a second.
Then he spoke, his voice slightly unsteady.
"There's one more thing."
"Master Li said... we need to register the dragon we're raising."
President Qin was stunned.
He stood there, holding his phone, not reacting for a long time.
dragon?
When did Master Li start raising dragons?
He blurted out instinctively, "Master Li is raising dragons?"
Liu Zhenguo guessed on the other end of the phone, "It should be the dragonfish we sent over."
His voice sounded a little weak.
"The lightning tribulation that appeared last night was very likely the dragon fish's transformation tribulation."
After hearing this, President Qin was completely stunned.
It's only been a little over three months since that dragonfish was delivered to Qingfeng Temple.
When it was sent there, it was just an ordinary supernatural creature, nothing special except for being a little bigger, having brighter scales, and having a better meaning.
just now……
It transformed directly into a dragon?
And if you want to register your household, doesn't that mean you've already taken human form?
This is outrageous!
After a moment of silence, President Qin asked Liu Zhenguo on the other end of the phone, "Have you collected any energy data about that dragon?"
Liu Zhenguo smiled bitterly.
"no."
President Qin was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to say something more, the voice of Master Xuanming suddenly came from behind him.
"dragon?"
President Qin turned around and saw a look of solemnity and emotion on Master Xuanming's face.
"Dragons are mythical creatures born of nature."
Master Xuanming spoke slowly.
"Although the transformation of a dragonfish into a dragon is an acquired advancement, according to relevant ancient records, its realm is at least that of a true immortal."
He paused.
"At least at the Earth Immortal level."
"It could even be higher."
Upon hearing this, President Qin's lips twitched violently.
Earth Immortal.
At the very least, they are earth immortals.
In just over three months, an ordinary extraordinary creature became an immortal.
This……
This……
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
They looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
I really want to spend some time in the water tank at Qingfeng Temple!
It took President Qin a while to finally suppress the complex emotions surging within him.
He took a deep breath and said to Liu Zhenguo on the other end of the phone:
"We will do everything we can to meet all of Master Li's requests."
"Yes!" Liu Zhenguo replied quickly.
After hanging up the phone, President Qin stood there in silence for a long time.
Then, he noticed the head of the monitoring department standing to the side, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" President Qin frowned. "What time is it now? Tell me what's going on!"
The head of the monitoring department nodded quickly.
"yes!"
He took a deep breath and said quickly:
"According to our satellite monitoring, the unusual phenomena that have appeared in various religious sites and special locations abroad are expanding in scale."
"Furthermore... apart from the fact that there's been no movement in Japan, powerful beings are descending upon the world in various other locations."
President Qin's heart sank.
"Pull it out."
The head of the monitoring department immediately operated the system to project the image onto the large screen.
The moment the screen lit up, the temperature in the entire command center seemed to drop several degrees.
The head of the monitoring department pointed to the first set of images.
"President Qin, this is the situation above the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light in Europe."
In the video, a huge cloud of light is slowly rotating above the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.
The light cloud was golden, radiating a soft and sacred glow.
Within the cloud of light, one could vaguely see some beings with wings on their backs manifesting.
more than one.
Those beings were surrounded by holy light, their wings were as white as snow, and their faces were indistinct, with only a rough outline visible.
Some have two wings, some have four wings.
The aura they exude is enough to make one's heart flutter, even through a screen.
The scene changes again.
Varanasi, the land of the white elephant.
Strange phenomena also appeared above the ancient temples along the banks of the Ganges River.
A shower of petals fell from the sky; these petals were not real, but formed from pure energy, shimmering with iridescent colors in the sunlight.
Amidst the rain of petals, some figures could be vaguely seen.
Some have four arms, some have eight arms, some ride on divine oxen, and some sit cross-legged on lotus platforms.
Those are the deities of Brahma.
The scene continues to switch.
Southeast Asia.
Strange phenomena also appeared above an unnamed island.
However, compared to Europe and the White Elephant Kingdom, the anomalies in Southeast Asia were much smaller.
It was just some blurry light and shadow, and I couldn't make out what it was.
However, that energy fluctuation should not be underestimated.
The scene then switches again.
The land between the two rivers.
A pillar of light shot into the sky above the ruins of Babylon.
Within the pillar of light, ancient runes flowed, radiating a mysterious and powerful force.
Those runes are exactly the same as the writing on the clay tablets unearthed from the ruins.
The scene changed repeatedly.
Each scene represents a sacred site of an ancient civilization undergoing some kind of change.
And in the corner of each image, there is a line of small text.
That's energy monitoring data.
As President Qin looked at the data, his expression grew increasingly grave.
The lowest is ten times the standard value of the Dao Integration Realm.
The highest is hundreds of times the standard value of the Dao Integration Realm.
Hundreds of times.
What does this mean?
Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen are already at the pinnacle of the Great Xia Transcendent Realm, while those beings who are descending are ten or even a hundred times stronger than them.
Even stronger.
