459: Chapter 372: Turmoil, New Era, and Search 459: Chapter 372: Turmoil, New Era, and Search The Moon’s bizarre changes, though they montarily stunned the many powerful figures of the present world, could not prevent the environntal upheaval that followed the surge in spiritual energy.
A month after the great cataclysm of heaven and earth, the first thing people noticed was that the Xiann ritual that connected the two worlds could no longer be used.
No matter how many tis they repeated the rituals of the past to open the Xiann, they could no longer access that door leading to the present world.
While the many strong figures of the Mirror World were shocked and anxious, soon people found new Xiann within the streets, courtyards, and even so people’s bedrooms.
These new Xiann initially resembled the ones they had previously opened, rely existing as the image of a door.
But strange phenona quickly began to occur in the vicinity of the Xiann.
For instance, one could suddenly hear the voices of strangers, briefly glimpse vague lights and unfamiliar scenes, and parts of furniture, brick walls, rooftops, and even soil started to vanish near the Xiann unexpectedly.
Those who crossed through the Xiann discovered that these phenona were happening on both sides of the doorway, as if the worlds on either side were gradually overlapping.
The transport range of the Xiann also expanded dramatically, from the original door fra to a five-ter range within three days, and half a month later, just approaching within twenty ters of the Xiann would send one to the opposite world.
And so, a good ten thousand such Xiann appeared simultaneously in the major cities of both the present world and the Mirror World.
It was as if a myriad of pipelines had tightly connected the two worlds together.
But this close connection was clearly not what the upper echelons of either world had hoped for.
A large number of natives from the Mirror World erged across the Xia Country, and vicious battles erupted almost instantly, eventually escalating to bloodshed.
To resist the tide-like invasion from the Mirror World, a vast array of lethal weapons were deployed, and even AIs were authorized to deal with the powerful beings from the Mirror World.
Nurous chanized troops also tried to enter the Mirror World to halt the native invasion.
But the number of fixed Xiann was simply too great, and the growth rate of the strong figures in the Mirror World far exceeded military expectations after the spiritual surge.
The chaotic battle soon engulfed the entire present world, dragging all nations into the fray.
And at this point, the experts naturally had no intention to concern themselves with the Moon’s peculiarities or heed Lin Xing’s warnings.
Initially, it was sporadic assassinations of the enemy’s mid-level and senior leaders, but it gradually turned into assaults on various local defenses and even random killings of civilians.
And Lin Xing remained absent throughout.
Without him, the powerful figures from various factions threw caution to the wind, unleashing their powers in both worlds with abandon, violently seizing benefits amid the chaos.
As the spiritual energy surged and their own strength increased, ambition and desire also began to grow in the hearts of many powerful figures, plunging both worlds into deeper chaos.
During this most tumultuous period after the cataclysm, geniuses rose like shooting stars and fell just as quickly, until those who truly mastered the Fourth Legacy erged one by one, only then did the chaotic world begin to find tranquility.
Those who had mastered the Fourth Legacy were known as Immortals, and among them, the strongest four were revered by their followers as Immortal Emperors.
As ti flew by and the environnt underwent dramatic shifts, the Moon remained in the sky, but Lin Xing was nowhere to be found.
There were rumors he had died, others speculated he had ascended to the Immortal World, and so said he failed to break the shackles of being an Independent Immortal, was severely injured, and had lost all his cultivation becoming a re mortal…
As for the various legends and influences of Lin Xing, they were ultimately overshadowed by the glory of the Immortal Emperors.
After all, the Immortal Emperors were now the rulers of countless people, and Lin Xing was nothing but a legend that had never resurfaced.
The entire world seed to have entered a new era.
But so hadn’t forgotten.
They had been constantly searching for Lin Xing, gathering all news related to him.
…
In the fifth year of spiritual upheaval.
Mirror World, in the south of the Central Plains, outside a certain administrative office.
The original dirt road had been paved with concrete, and to the side were parked a dozen luxury cars from the present world.
A short distance away, the hustle and bustle of the market was evident, with swathes of neon lights alight.
Fan Mingxiu walked down the street, looking at the city that was now restored…
even more prosperous than before, and felt a tinge of emotion.
Five years ago, when the great change took place, the Mirror World was in a far worse and more chaotic state than the present world.
After all, this world lacked a figure of Lin Xing’s stature to maintain order, and almost all high-ranking mbers of the various factions were the strongest beings among them, many of whom had holed up to cultivate in seclusion after the surge in spiritual energy.
This led to the disarray across forces like the Great Zhou Court in the north, the new governnt in the south, or the various sects in the rivers and lakes without their leaders – they were practically a house of cards.
Consequently, amidst the spiritual surge, rising masters kept erging—a new star subdued a local powerful gang today, only to be killed by a genius tomorrow, who then took their place.
The list of local warlords and governors kept changing, with a city changing hands several tis in a day.
Amidst the ongoing slaughter by the present world’s army and experts, the land of the Central Plains beca like a colossal grinding wheel, crushing countless lives in never-ending strife.
