Chapter 640 Reverence for this World
The world’s population who received the news was in an uproar.
Although many people didn’t understand the implications, it didn’t stop them from joining in the excitement and participating in discussions with their friends.
“Have you seen the before and after photos of the key star? It’s truly amazing! This is something only a god could achieve, right?”
“Of course I’ve seen them, I even saved the full set of images! Especially the last one, with a dazzling beam of light erupting from the planet, it’s so cool!”
“To have personally experienced such a historic event, this life can be considered without regrets.”
“I’m really curious, how did they manage to do this?”
“Those must be the world’s strongest magician, able to achieve this, right?”
“Can the strongest magician do this? Not necessarily!”
“Do you think it’s a staged fake photo? It doesn’t look real no matter how you look at it.”
“Hey! It’s not fake. That night, I saw a bright light flashing across the night sky with my own eyes through a telescope, lasting a long time. Not just me, many people saw it too.”
“People, could they really reach this level?”
“That’s hard to say, maybe it’s a god!”
“I really want to become a magician! But unfortunately, I don’t have the talent…”
“I heard that even without talent one can become a magician!”
“Hiss – Is that true?”
…
Xinji City, or the former ‘He Castle’.
However, at this time, the owner of He Castle is no longer Rada, but rather Rada’s long-time assistant Dumont.
Dumont had also been imprisoned by Su Hao on the island for a period of time, being referred to as the person closest to that man, and then directly appointed by Rada as the next Grand Mage.
In reality, Dumont probably hasn’t even spoken a single word to Su Hao.
Dumont is very old now, it seems he can’t hold on much longer, soon there will be a new successor to the position of ‘Grand Mage’.
Unfortunately, he has not found a suitable candidate yet, as most of the mages who had contact with Su Hao are no more, and selecting someone with insufficient understanding of ‘Jia Wei’ as the new ‘Grand Mage’ and causing chaos would be a disaster for the Mage Association.
In Dumont’s view, Feiyuan is the best candidate for the next Grand Mage, however, no matter how he communicates with Feiyuan, he is unwilling to take up this position.
The position of ‘Grand Mage’, coveted by mages worldwide, is being abandoned by Feiyuan, which is perplexing, as the position of ‘Grand Mage’ is comparable to that of a world emperor, with power extending to the sky, it is the highest honor in the world.
He really can’t understand why someone would ignore such temptation.
However, after the news from Key Star came, Dumont no longer worries about who will succeed the next ‘Grand Mage’.
Because it doesn’t matter who succeeds.
Any sober-minded person, upon learning of the Key Star incident, should understand the dreadful nature of ‘Mr. Jia Wei’, and there will be no more reckless acts jeopardizing the Mage Association, plunging it into an abyss.
He added fuel to the fire by using the Mage Association’s channels to actively spread the news of Key Star.
In the meeting hall at this moment, the high-ranking members of the Mage Association are seated in an orderly manner, numbering in the hundreds, discussing the Key Star incident.
Of course, there are also those who express skepticism, but Grand Mage Dumont simply smiles faintly and says, “No need to doubt, this is the work of ‘Mr. Jia Wei’, I have obtained confirmation through special channels.”
“And, I admit that all of you are the most powerful, outstanding, and knowledgeable mages in the world, calling you geniuses would not be an exaggeration. But, we must understand that in this world, there are always people beyond us, there are always things others can do that we cannot.”
“Please, tell me, is it so difficult to acknowledge the excellence of others?”
The crowd fell silent, staring at the photo documentation in front of them, lost in thought.
After a moment, Dumont continued, “Mr. Jia Wei is a man of our era, how powerful he is, only us old folks know! I can say with certainty that it’s not surprising at all for Mr. Jia Wei to achieve the level of Key Star, he could even destroy the planet beneath our feet!”
“Listen to my words: revere this heaven and earth! Perhaps there was no ‘god’ before, but now there is, he is ‘Mr. Jia Wei’!”
Only Dumont’s hoarse voice echoed in the room, not loud, but full of a mysterious power, causing everyone to feel a sense of respect and silently chant, “Mr. Jia Wei, a god? A god of boundless power!”
Followed by an indescribable fear: “He can bring about the end of the world, so he must be the supreme god!”
Not only the Magician Association, even other emerging associations have organized meetings to discuss the event of the Key Star.
For these people, suddenly finding this world to be so strange, inexplicably, a ‘god’ appeared above their heads who was powerful enough to use a star as a toy!
It’s outrageous!
At the same time, their actions inevitably became more considerate of the consequences.
…
In the base mini-world, Yashan and Feng Cheng, who were rarely seen relaxing by the poolside pavilion reading a book, were approached by others with great surprise. Yashan asked, “How about the particle ray on the Key Star? At that moment, I thought the Key Star was about to gravitationally collapse into another celestial body.”
Even Feiyuan came in, seeming interested in the specific news.
Su Hao got up and stretched comfortably, saying, “This is the ‘Star Virus’ I have been researching for years, specifically designed to destroy celestial bodies to prevent being helpless when large celestial bodies collide.”
Yashan and Feng Cheng were astonished. Yashan instantly remembered the feeling of powerlessness he had faced in the previous life when a small asteroid struck, and he ultimately exploded himself to fight for the last hope…
It turned out that the preparations Su Hao had made over the years were always focused on solving the problem of large celestial bodies!
Yashan sighed, “I have been trying to keep up with your pace, Chief Su, but the gap seems to be getting wider! While I was still thinking about how to build spaceships, you were already thinking about blowing up celestial bodies…”
Su Hao reassured him, “You have done well, Yashan.”
As for Feng Cheng, he did not have the desire to catch up, knowing that both chiefs were meant to be looked up to, unreachable.
When he immersed himself in the enchanting Celestial Palace, the two chiefs were still studying and researching – in his situation, catching up? Impossible! He could only strive not to fall behind.
A strong desire to learn surged within Feng Cheng once again, and he glanced at the level given by his assistant – Elementary School Library!
Feng Cheng thought to himself, “I have reached the level of ‘Library’ now, and believe that it won’t be long before I reach ‘Computer’ level! Come on, Feng Cheng!”
Feiyuan stood by, feeling confused, “What is the Star Virus?”
Su Hao casually explained, “Just like the virus of a plague, it can corrupt a celestial body and destroy it from the inside.”
The three were amazed, “It can do that?”
Su Hao continued, “The commotion on the Key Star is just me testing the virus’s capabilities, but it hasn’t been successful yet. Now I am searching for inspiration on how to perfect the virus.”
Su Hao sounded calm, but the scene he described was terrifying to think about.
From then on, Yashan and the others could no longer directly face the word ‘virus.’ Just hearing the word made goosebumps appear on their skin.
The first thing that came to mind was the nanobots in the fantasy world – they could consume matter, replicate themselves, and eventually devour everything they came into contact with, including animals and humans, leaving none alive. In the end, the entire planet would become a world of nanobots…
The thought was both frightening and exciting.
Frightened by the nearly unstoppable nature of this ‘virus,’ excited by the technology their Chief Su Hao possessed.
Involuntarily, they exclaimed, “Chief Su, you are truly amazing!”
Su Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Not bad at all! As long as you study more, think more, try more, experiment more… you can always do things that ordinary people cannot.”
Furthermore, he added, “Your words of praise should wait until after I have completely finished making the ‘Star Virus’!”
In truth, when people understand one’s prowess, it is a pleasant feeling.
