[Congratulations on triggering the achievent ’Revival of Living Beings’, earning 2 Exchange Stars]
[Your current number of Exchange Stars: ★*48.5]
He Ao glanced at the text in his field of view that hadn’t completely disappeared yet.
This dungeon world yielded a total of 30.5 Exchange Stars, plus the original remaining 18 stars, rounding up to almost fifty Exchange Stars.
Although it’s still not enough to redeem all the Character Cards, it’s much more than he expected, and the system was unexpectedly generous this ti.
It might also be because his legendary rating is indeed rare.
If he continues to maintain this speed of acquiring Exchange Stars, he shouldn’t have to be so tight with them.
Shaking his head, He Ao dispelled the thoughts from his mind.
He still had to remain cautious.
This ti he spent so few Exchange Stars because he had enough prior knowledge of Mysticism, so he only redeed one Character Card, used two Character Cards, and solved the problem through careful calculation.
But next ti, he might not be so lucky.
He Ao could clearly feel that this ti the Divine Being intervened much more aggressively than before, whether it was the Mysterious Shadow’s attitude toward the Abnormal, or the "interest" of the elder sister in him.
With his activities in the dungeon world, although he gathered so power, he also began to delve deeply into so very covert matters involving the Divine Being.
If it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided.
Shaking his head, He Ao noticed a line of text still displayed in his field of view.
[Since this is the first ti the player has received a comprehensive legendary rating, you have left your na in the Starry Sky, and the system will upgrade over the next period of ti. Please be patient.]
[System upgrading: 159:37:26]
Triggered a system upgrade?
He Ao was slightly taken aback, because he achieved a legend?
Leaving his na in the Starry Sky.
He Ao pondered over this phrase.
Triggered so critical condition?
According to the system’s upgrade rules, this should be a minor upgrade since He Ao hasn’t achieved a perfect score.
There might possibly be so additional functions.
Looking at the trigger conditions, it seems to be so functions that require delving into deeper mysteries to be utilized.
He Ao glanced at the countdown, estimating that it would be finished in a little over six days, likely before the next dungeon opens.
Buzz—
Just as He Ao was looking at the text in his vision, his phone vibrated.
It was a ssage from the liaison of the Tia Empire’s Transcendent organization, Moonlight, stating that the "witnesses" by the coast had been handled today.
He Ao quickly replied with a "Got it," then raised his hand and pushed open the door in front of him.
He had left the Tia Empire, and this was the Central Earth’s teorological Research Center.
The most advanced teorological research institute in the Main World.
"You’re here?"
Behind the door was a spacious hall, with several huge screens hanging, in front of which stood a middle-aged man, Liu Zhengyun.
He looked up and, seeing He Ao, asked slowly.
"What’s the situation?" He Ao quickly walked in.
"So frequent disaster events," Liu Zhengyun shrugged and sighed softly, pointing to several teorological maps on the screen, he said slowly, "Not only the Tia Empire, Western Lands, Central Earth, but even so island nations in the ocean have experienced significant teorological disasters, although none were as severe as the one in the Tia Empire this morning."
The screens began to switch images, showing what seed to be nightti photos.
"When did it start?" He Ao asked as he gazed at the teorological maps and photos.
"Around 10 p.m. last night," Liu Zhengyun pointed to a nightti photo, "That’s an island nation in the middle of the ocean, it’s the first recorded sudden hurricane, but because it happened in a remote area, and the entire hurricane occurrence wasn’t entirely untraceable, it didn’t attract attention."
He turned to look at He Ao, "In fact, the occurrence of these hurricanes ets the basic rules. If it weren’t for so many hurricanes happening suddenly worldwide, we wouldn’t question it, and the teorological bureau wouldn’t have contacted us."
"So you ca in person?" He Ao asked with a smile.
"Just arrived not long ago," Liu Zhengyun nodded, "I’ve been a bit free these two days, and being idle isn’t necessarily a good thing either,"
"Being idle isn’t a good on," He Ao shook his head and sighed lightly. The last ti the Historical World didn’t interfere particularly with the Main World, and the main interference ti was short, so it didn’t have too much impact on the Main World.
He Ao looked at the screen in front of him and returned to the topic, "Do those hurricanes follow the rules?"
"These hurricanes all have a complete growth process," a middle-aged man beside Liu Zhengyun pointed to the large screen above his head and continued, "Signs of the earliest hurricane could be seen seven or eight days ago."
He looked at He Ao, "They weren’t generated at the sa ti, but erupted within a short period, and based on the current situation, this eruption will continue. The number of large hurricanes appearing now is already several dozen tis higher than the sa period in previous years."
"The hurricane in the Tia Empire," He Ao asked in puzzlent, "doesn’t seem like it was suddenly generated? Such a large hurricane? There was no prior detection? It just ford by the coast?"
"Actually, it was detected," the middle-aged man replied softly, "but it grew at such a rapid speed that the Tia Empire didn’t have ti to issue an urgent notice."
"It seems like a Transcendent phenonon," Liu Zhengyun interjected.
"But its generation process satisfies natural laws, follows all procedures, and the surrounding air pressure also ets the conditions for hurricane formation," the middle-aged man said slowly, "although the probability is very low, the natural conditions for such a hurricane to be born are not entirely impossible."
He Ao raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhengyun.
Boom—
At this mont, a loud rumble erupted from the ground.
He Ao’s expression changed instantly, and the Velora suddenly erged from the void. He and Liu Zhengyun simultaneously moved to grab everyone around and stuffed them into the Velora.
After a quick lap around the entire building, the Velora swiftly departed from this area, reaching the outside square.
As soon as they appeared, they felt the intense shaking.
And amid this shaking, everyone looked out the window of the Velora.
Boom—
Outside, with the booming sound and splashing dust, the peculiar gray building collapsed.
The high mountains behind the building were also torn open, and countless rocks mixed with trees rolled down from the peaks.
Imdiately, many surrounding peaks started to collapse.
The earth also began to tear apart.
He Ao piloted the Velora into the air, briefly avoiding the shaking sky and land. Once the violent shaking subsided, the Velora ca to a complete halt, and the door opened.
The middle-aged man from the teorological bureau stepped out of the vehicle, looking at the ruins before him, still sowhat shaken, and said, "It’s an earthquake."
"At least a seven," Liu Zhengyun quickly added on the side.
"The teorological bureau is far from the city center; it shouldn’t significantly affect the city," He Ao walked over to the ruins, feeling the ground tremble slightly beneath his feet, "but it’s best to go check it out."
"There are quite a few materials down below," the middle-aged man said, still sowhat shaken.
"Alright," Liu Zhengyun, sowhat stunned and bewildered, quickly regained his composure and nodded, "I’ll arrange a rescue team to co here for ergency excavations."
Buzz——
At that mont, He Ao’s phone rang again; it was Lin Chichi calling.
He took the call and quickly responded a few tis, "I’m coming over right away."
Then he hung up the phone, looked at Liu Zhengyun, and grimaced, "It seems ’being idle’ really isn’t a good thing."
"What’s up?" Liu Zhengyun said nervously.
"An earthquake also occurred in the desert where the blizzard appeared last ti, and sothing erged, carrying strong pollution. Lin Chichi has already dispersed the crowd," He Ao sighed, "I need to go check it out."
"It seems so words should indeed not be spoken carelessly." Liu Zhengyun rubbed his forehead.
"I’ll take you back first," He Ao supported the sowhat dizzy middle-aged man, glanced back at the ruins, suddenly rembered sothing, and asked softly, "Is this earthquake in line with natural laws?"
"I don’t know," the middle-aged man shook his head, "Earthquakes are difficult to predict; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many disasters caused by them. However, our teorological bureau is indeed located on a seismic belt, so theoretically, such a major earthquake is possible, but..."
"The probability is very low?" He Ao interjected casually.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
He Ao turned back, glanced at the surrounding collapsed peaks, and sighed softly, "It seems our luck is indeed not great."
He was nearly about to completely break through the barrier of the Main World’s source but could only intervene with things like hurricanes. For sudden large disasters like earthquakes, he could only perceive them at the mont they occurred and couldn’t smooth them out directly or push back the released energy.
Subsequently, the Velora closed its doors and drove into the void.
——
In the desert
He Ao stepped out from the Velora, treading on sand grains mixed with bits of ice, and quickly walked forward.
The wide desert around him was empty.
Lin Chichi followed behind him and said softly, "There was an earthquake here just now, and that thing was suddenly shaken out. It seems to be a stone stele. The good news is the earthquake wasn’t strong; this place had been sealed off due to the snow and ice coverage, so there weren’t many people. The impact caused was not significant, and I’ve dispersed the surrounding people. The nearby area is also completely sealed off."
"Well done." He Ao nodded lightly.
"Hehe," Lin Chichi smiled gently, "It’s all thanks to your guidance, sir."
"Alright, stop with the pleasantries," He Ao shook his head, "What do you think about this stone stele?"
"I just conducted a simple investigation," Lin Chichi glanced at He Ao cautiously, "We’ve never seen this stone stele before, and people around here say they’ve never seen one in the desert. There’s no ancient historical legend or lost desert oasis nearby. It doesn’t sound like so ancient relic; it could be sothing previously buried too deeply that the earthquake forcibly unearthed."
She looked at He Ao and continued, "However, this earthquake was also unusual; the local geologists say that although the area is on a seismic belt, there’s never been a recorded earthquake here, at least not since they started consistently recording history over three hundred years ago. It’s not a place with frequent earthquakes."
"So your judgnt is?" He Ao continued to ask.
"I think it might be so kind of Transcendent event," Lin Chichi pondered, "That stone stele doesn’t necessarily have to co from ’underground’ or sothing else."
"Hmm." He Ao nodded slightly without expressing an opinion.
Soon, the two of them moved through the desert and reached what seed like a ’ice field’ torn apart by the earth.
Cracked crevices below exposed patches of yellow sand.
A magnificent stone stele was now ’embraced’ by the sand grains, standing in the center of this ice field.
A faint gray mist covered the stone stele, as if veiling so ancient secret.
The surface of the stone stele was covered with faint patterns, resembling so form of mysticism lines.
An invisible pollution extended from the edges of the stone stele, stirring He Ao’s thoughts.
"This is the stone stele," Lin Chichi glanced at He Ao and said softly, "Its pollution is quite strong; I didn’t proceed any closer."
"No worries," He Ao replied casually, "You stay here and wait for , turn around, and try not to look back."
"Alright." Lin Chichi nodded slightly, turned and faced away.
He Ao lowered his head to look at the still unlted solid ice, quickly crossed the ice field’s many crevices, and walked towards the stone stele.
As He Ao approached, the gray mist on the stone stele subtly surged, as if sensing sothing.
Imdiately, the mist covering the stone stele started to part like a lifted curtain, slowly separating to reveal its form beneath.
It was a smooth stone stele surface, engraved with dense, unknown array patterns.
Increasingly twisted and surging pollution extended from the array.
Normally, only an Angel could withstand such a degree of pollution.
He Ao gazed at the stone stele, continuing to move forward.
The parted gray mist trembled gently, and the patterns on the stone stele surface rapidly flashed with gray luminescence.
Soon, these luminescent strands started to concentrate in He Ao’s field of view, eventually gathering into rows of twisted text.
He Ao didn’t recognize these characters, but as they appeared, their anings naturally entered his mind.
Transcendent text? Denis text?
He Ao gazed at the text, paused slightly, then shook his head gently.
Sowhat like, yet sowhat unlike, it seed to be a ’modified’ version of Denis text.
He Ao stopped pondering this problem and focused his gaze on the stone stele, concentrating on the ssages conveyed by the text on the stone stele.
[The Sky Ship docks the Firmant, signs of the apocalypse manifest upon the earth.]
[Eternal greatness descends from the Starry Sky, interrupted fate returns to its original starting point.]
Sounds like an apocalyptic prophecy?
