Countdown Day Four: Peach Blossom Spring Closes!

In these final moments, Wu Liang returned to the Peach Blossom Spring space within the Tianshan Mountain Range.

This is the only place independent from the external world, where the sunset has frozen like an apocalyptic scene, and yet, the sun and moon still rise and set regularly, separating day from night for the people.

After coordinating with the authorities in recent days, Director Long confirmed the situation of the Peach Blossom Spring and sent over talents in various essential aspects of life such as city construction, mechanical operations, and agricultural production as much as possible.

Originally resembling the ancient scene of men farming and women weaving described in "The Peach Blossom Spring," Taohua Village now presents itself as the appearance of Taohua City.

No one could possibly connect such a modern city with the primitive village it once was.

"Hello! Please present your city entry token!"

At the entrances around the city's borders guarded by soldiers, they stepped forward to request entry procedures upon seeing Wu Liang approach.

Wu Liang naturally took out the token provided by Director Long and entered Taohua City after the confirmation.

The scenes of people laughing and talking on the streets formed a stark contrast with the oppressive atmosphere outside.

The residents currently living in Taohua City are all outstanding talents from various fields delivered by the authorities after strict scrutiny from within the country.

These include not just necessary fields such as agriculture and light and heavy industries but also history, music, art, sports, and even gaming and entertainment talents.

They can ensure that human civilization continues completely and normally.

To select these individuals, the authorities took great care, focusing most rigorously on moral character and temperament besides professional expertise.

Every behavior from birth to the present was analyzed and counted.

Within a few minutes, Wu Liang arrived at Yao Qingxue's residence, which was not even in the city center.

Like ordinary residents, his mother had been allocated a house by the big data system.

In her own words: "This is the last bastion against the Supernatural, and it's not too much to say that it's the spark of human civilization. If the Supernatural truly invades, it wouldn't matter where I live, so why ask for special privileges?"

But the moment she saw Wu Liang, even the ever-calm and rational Yao Qingxue couldn't hold back her tears.

"Xiaoliang…why don't you just…"

"Let him go. Each generation has its duties. We've done our part. Our son isn't a sheltered candlelight afraid of the wind; he will be the wildfire illuminating the future."

As Commoner Yao Qingxue was about to persuade Wu Liang to stay, she was immediately interrupted by Sealed Yao Qingxue beside her.

They both clearly understood—Wu Liang couldn't stay within the Peach Blossom Spring waiting for the Supernatural Calamity to pass like those who needed protection.

The mother and son spent a day together in Taohua City, cherishing this last warmth of family.

Wu Liang turned and left the space.

Simultaneously, the pathway to the Peach Blossom Spring closed completely, making it immune to outside influence!

Only when the Supernatural Calamity ends will the Peach Blossom Spring open again…

Countdown Day Three: The Pioneer Awakens!

After the last Prince of the Lost Realm, Triton, was summoned, the cave, initially closed off from external perception, finally showed movement.

The Pioneer, who was adjusting and healing his wounds in his consciousness space, finally opened his eyes.

He twisted his neck, making cracking sounds from long inactivity, stood up, and took a yellow-paper-like Supernatural Object from a Brocade Pouch.

Pasting it onto the sealed cave wall, the dirt melted away like liquid, forming a passageway for a person to pass through.

Seeing the frozen sunset from the cave's exit, he sighed heavily, expressing, "At last, the end times have come again; I've waited for this day for too long."

In the quiet environment devoid of even the sound of insects, the Pioneer seemed unsurprised, moving on by himself out of the mountain.

He had already experienced the global anomalies before in the old world leading up to the second Supernatural Calamity. As for Triton and the current official situation... he couldn't be bothered to investigate for now.

After all, no matter how unique, it's still just a City-Destroying Level Supernatural Event.

The Pioneer didn't believe Wu Liang lacked the ability to resolve it; his summoning was mainly to maintain the final dignity of the Promised Land.

Now, it's time to organize and prepare for the arrival three days later.

"Teacher, I will prove that assimilation is the only viable path, and after the great transformation of humanity, I will take this news down to the Nine Netherworld to inform you myself.

"Please slow down a little and wait for Qiming... to let me witness the moment when tomorrow truly embarks without hidden dangers."

"I am a pioneer; I am also a catastrophe."

"The path I must walk, I will persist on unwaveringly; the sins I must atone for, I will not deny."

The Pioneer's eyes were full of sorrow and determination.

He knew what kind of bloody and misunderstood path he was on, but he would not regret it!

This is the ultimate showdown of the world and humanity, as well as the only redemption of his past self!

Countdown Day Two: Dusk Falls into Darkness!

Under the eyes of many, the fiery clouds frozen for days finally began to change.

The red hue gradually vanished, and with the last glow setting in the west, endless night was left to people, conveying despair and fear.

People clung to that laughable hope praying that the sun would rise the next day until the eternal-like darkness of the noon shattered their final mental defenses.

They realized the sun would no longer rise.

The recent global changes were something never seen during the first Supernatural Calamity, marking a disaster beyond anyone's imagination.

At the skyscraper of the official headquarters in the Capital City.

Director Long's upright posture seemed as a towering tree that could never fall.

He looked up at the sky where even stars and the moon dared not show to witness this tragedy, yet his lips curled into a confident smile.

"Adversity is not worth glorifying, but after enduring this, humanity will reach an unrestricted realm, and we will surely win."

"Let you, this treacherous sky, witness that humanity itself embodies courage, and resistance is our essence of survival!"

"The eternal night will eventually just be the firework box heralding the dawn; I will personally ignite this box of fireworks to witness humanity's new chapter!"

Countdown to the Final Day—

Supernatural Calamity.

Descends.
