Chapter 483: Chapter 487 Apocalypse Rebirth (24)

The whole world plunged into darkness, cries and screams of despair echoed in every corner of the world.

Compared to the heavy casualties in other countries, Hua Country narrowly survived the first wave of the catastrophe without much danger.

Whether it was food, medicine, weapons, or technology, the national organization was well-prepared and even managed to lend a hand to other ally countries.

On the third day of the disaster, the Trading System that had been completely deciphered by Doctor Z embraced its final mission.

Half a year ago, Doctor Z had cracked the Golden Finger on Qi ersheng’s body and developed a method for using spiritual power through this object. Even more exhilarating, he had established contact with the mysterious entity behind it.

It was unclear what this entity was—an Alien, what humans traditionally called a "God," or something else...

With the current human capabilities, even if they acquired technology that surpassed hundreds of years through the Trading System, they couldn’t fathom it.

Gleaning even a hint of the truth was quite remarkable.

This entity gave all lifeforms on Earth a new choice, a choice that could save all of humanity.

After a discussion among all the leaders of Hua Country followed by a vote,

everyone unanimously chose the same decision.

Even Doctor Z, the most privately influential and craziest of them all, had no objections.

This Trading System, peeled off from Qi ersheng, could fulfill everyone’s wildest ambitions and even establish a more top-notch and strict power structure.

With the help of the Trading System, unprecedented benefits could be obtained, potentially laying the foundation to break through the Galaxy and usher in the interstellar era.

But...

The cost was the continual struggle of the common people amidst suffering.

The transformation into a butterfly was accompanied by the painful peeling and bone drawing; there surely had to be another more gentle method.

Thus, everyone firmly believed that even without external aids, through human intelligence alone, such heights could certainly be reached.

The materialized Trading System appeared as a blue soybean-sized granule, shimmering with beautiful luminescence, as dazzling as a diamond.

It floated in mid-air, gently swaying up and down.

Centered on it, a large crowd gathered around.

Looking closer, it was astounding—all decision-makers, powerhouses, and distinguished individuals from Hua Country were there, not one missing.

The most significant and esteemed elder of Hua Country was also present.

They all wore green military uniforms, their chests laden with medals, each standing solemnly.

Led by the elder, he said, "Let’s begin."

Su Shaoqing stepped forward, understanding the command, and launched the spiritual power attack technique developed by Doctor Z towards the central blue luminescence.

Quickly, large beads of cold sweat appeared on Su Shaoqing’s face and body, clearly physically and mentally exhausted.

Seeing that he was about to fail, the others were extremely anxious, yet no one dared to step forward to assist.

Being disturbed could result in severe injuries or even death.

This was a conclusion Doctor Z had reached through repeated research.

Su Shaoqing was the volunteer with the highest spiritual power; if even he could not destroy the object, then there was even less hope for others.

Everyone inevitably fell into despair, as if their earlier struggles and dilemmas were merely a joke.

They thought their dedication and selflessness were choices of their own, but in reality, they were not in a position to choose.

Suddenly, the fluorescent light brightened dramatically, and an unexpected incident left everyone blinded by the dazzling light, forcing them to instinctively close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the Trading System had ceased to exist, and fragments twinkling with specks of fine starlight scattered in the air.

Everyone felt it—an indescribable change in the world, an unexplainable feeling, something profoundly mysterious as the Taoist might say.

Exhausted to his limits, Shaoqing collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

From an unseen angle, he silently expressed his gratitude in his mind towards a certain direction.

Thank you, little cousin.

As his spiritual power was depleted, he felt the approach of death.

He had a premonition that if he failed to destroy it, he would be the one facing ruin.

Perhaps his body would not die, but his consciousness would disintegrate, turning him into an unaware, vegetative state.

In his last moments of endurance, he felt a familiar presence within the weakened spiritual power, like the warm scent of his little cousin.

This presence enveloped his spiritual power, advancing relentlessly and devouring the fluorescent light.

Shaoqing felt a renewed strength within him, as if every function of his body had been rejuvenated.

But all this was only for him to know.

Noticing his son was unharmed, Su Guosheng also sighed deeply with relief, then immediately went back to coordinating other tasks.

Separated by a spatial distance, Su Li in the safety house glanced into the void and gave a faint smile.

----------

On the fourth day of the catastrophe, hidden dangers around the world gradually vanished, and what awaited was humanity’s rebuilding of their homelands.

With the negligible casualty assistance from Hua Country, order was quickly restored to its original state, as if everyone had shared a dreadful dream.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as the neighboring Japan and Korea, which always touted the entire world as theirs. The person in charge of this rescue intentionally delayed their aid, arriving belatedly. Although there were not many casualties, it led to a tremendous economic loss for them, likely setting back their economic development by twenty years.

This time they dared not make any noise; even if they felt dissatisfaction, they had to endure it.

Their usual sycophant leader had conceded the top position to Hua Country; who would dare to complain about Hua Country now?

--------------

Once Qi ersheng was released, he stared at the sun overhead and momentarily wondered where he now stood.

Everything had changed, and his resurrection had lost all meaning.

The Golden Finger was gone, and the apocalypse had arrived prematurely only to vanish in an instant; then history took a turn and raced off in a different direction.

It seemed that those around him were cheering and reveling, as technology made life progressively better.

Only he had become worse off, worse even than in his previous life.

In his last life, at least, he had been a powerful CEO with a loving wife and children, content in life except for a youthful love affair that had left him with regrets—all was perfect.

But now...

The Qi Family’s company had gone bankrupt, his former wife had betrayed him, and An Ran, his first love from his previous life and his girlfriend in this life, had also moved on to someone else.

Other than the physical pain inflicted by that madman, what remained was his parents’ disappointment and his relatives’ indifference.
