Chapter 466: Chapter 458: Grand Finale_3

[Beep! Fatal danger detected, initiating nuclear detonation for both the main system and ground units!]

[Countdown, 5—4—]

With the accompanying alert sounds, an invisible, powerful surge of air spread out from within the metallic cabin.

Before the metallic cabin could fall apart, 96 Vines wove themselves into an impenetrable web. Ninety-six enormous, blood-red mouths opened wide, spraying countless rays of golden light, devouring every single substance within the confines of the web.

[Superpower Name: Vine. Cannibal Flower]

[Current Level: Level 10 (Maximum Level), Number of Cannibal Flowers: 1+96, Vines: 1 (Main Vine) + 96 (Side Vines) = 97]

[Active Skills: 1. Devour; 2. Taming]

1: Devour (Maximum Level), the lips of the flower possess a black hole-like devouring effect, leaving no substance an escape;

2: Taming (Maximum Level), the nectar of the flower acts as Spiritual Spring water. Based on the amount consumed, individuals gain varying levels of taming value and loyalty value, pledging absolute loyalty to the space master as their sole master.]

On the ground, the pitch-black screen resumed functioning.

The crowd erupted in cheers for a brief second before falling completely silent, frozen in place like statues.

The entire screen shimmered with gold, as though every ounce of gold in the world had been ground into fine powder and scattered across space.

Three hours later.

The manned spacecraft returned from space and landed successfully.

The cabin door opened, and a group of medical personnel had just gathered at the entrance when Jiang Yan emerged, entirely unscathed.

"This—"

"This—"

The crowd was once again struck dumb with astonishment.

It took a moment before someone finally shouted, "Jiang Yan, a hero!"

"No, Jiang Yan, my god!"

"My goddess!"

"..."

"Jiang Yan." Mo Jingsheng was about to step forward to help Jiang Yan when Ye Qing rushed out of the crowd, eyes reddened, and directly half-supported, half-embraced her.

Su Dai and Sun Jingtao followed behind, tears streaming down their faces. They wanted to hug her but were afraid to.

It was only later that they learned Jiang Yan had temporarily gone to space on her own.

"Look, you all can’t just act so recklessly!" The lead doctor almost passed out from frustration, "Do you have any idea what risks your body faces when returning from space?!"

Although others were carried out, while Jiang Yan walked out on her own, the difference was obvious.

But the medical team was still anxious to the point of panic.

They looked at Jiang Yan as though she were more precious than a national treasure—the panda.

Ye Qing’s expression flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he still replied, "I know."

The doctor grew even angrier upon hearing this, "You! You knew and still acted this way?!"

"Alright, let’s listen to the doctor." Mo Jingsheng casually glanced back, reaching out to pull Ye Qing aside.

Ye Qing still stubbornly held onto Jiang Yan.

"They’re watching us from above, in the background." Mo Jingsheng had to lean in and whisper into his ear.

Had it not been for someone important watching over the scene from high above, would this century’s "first embrace" have even fallen to him?

Ye Qing took a deep breath, casting a worried glance at Jiang Yan before finally letting go.

Jiang Yan steadied herself, raising her gaze toward the sky.

Before her departure, the sky was blanketed in thick, oppressive clouds.

Upon her return, the sky was clear and crisp, with a few wispy white clouds visible.

Had the natural disaster ended?

"When I went up, the entire planet was shrouded in dense black clouds as seen from space.

When I came back, the clouds were still there, but the black had faded, turning lighter, becoming white.

Has there been any change detected on the ground?" Jiang Yan asked, turning to Mo Jingsheng. "Is the natural disaster nearing its end?"

Mo Jingsheng nodded, "Yes, there have been changes. Today, certain air quality indicators have begun decreasing. It’s likely that the atmosphere is undergoing self-repair. UV index levels have started dropping. The natural disaster is most likely coming to an end."

The crowd cheered, "Does that mean our once-lost planet is coming back to us?"

"What’s done cannot be undone." Mo Jingsheng paused before continuing, "However, we believe that through our relentless efforts, we can restore this planet and Mars, making them humanity’s cradle once more!"

One day later, Jiang Yan embarked on her journey from the SS Zone to Mars.

With the Catastrophe Simulation Laboratory entirely destroyed, the original evacuation and Mars migration plans were revised into a full-scale Mars colonization initiative.

The passenger list shifted from scarce scientists to include both some scientists and a portion of highly-skilled infrastructure experts.

One year later, after delivering a cargo load, Jiang Yan returned alone.

Three years later, centered around Yaoben Base, a new cluster of maritime cities was preliminarily established.

A storage facility for the new National Treasures was also completed.

Specialized warehouses capable of controlling temperature, humidity, providing constant or adjustable conditions, and equipped with advanced security systems were entirely built.
