Chapter 505 The Lively Camel
Time quietly passes by, and in three months, the anticipated doomsday is approaching.
But this precise timing is only known to the upper echelons of society.
Even though various rumors are flying around, most people have speculated the answer from various signs, but the official website of the Starry Sky Group has not formally declared the arrival of the “end of the world,” leaving many people still doubtful.
The end of the world? How could that be! Must be a joke!
The reason for not announcing it is that there is still hope, still searching for a solution, and another consideration is the stability of society.
On the eve of the world’s destruction, no one can predict what crazy things those who have lost their sanity will do.
The demons sealed in the hearts of humans, once freed from the restraint of “consequences,” are very likely to come out and act recklessly.
Actions that were previously only in fantasies will become reality.
The final outcome is always death, so why not indulge thoroughly before death? It’s best to experience everything written in the law…
So, concealing the truth is a responsible way for the majority, as some things are not necessarily better when made public.
Even on the brink of destruction, the entire human population can still maintain a certain order.
A large amount of supplies are being transported to various shelters in order, and then people from all over the world are arranged to take flying cars orderly to crash sites and take refuge in shelters.
These people know that disaster is coming, but they don’t know when it will come. Some say tomorrow, some say in a month, some say in five years… That’s where the dilemma lies; wanting to do evil, but not knowing when is the right time to choose.
Ordinary people hide in shelters, but cultivators above the Golden Core stage of the Starry Sky Group do not have the qualifications to hide in shelters.
In the words of Yashan, cultivators at the Golden Core stage are to some extent enjoying the abundant resources provided by society. In times of crisis, they must step forward and stand at the forefront of the crisis. Even if they have to die, they must die first.
Regardless of whether Yashan’s words make sense or not, anyone who opposes them is expelled from the Starry Sky Group, labeled as “traitors,” and then sent to the bomb production workshop.
The methods are bloody and cruel.
Su Hao, Yashan, and Feng Cheng have now returned to the headquarters of the Starry Sky Group, right above the Morling City headquarters building.
At this time, low-level cultivators of Morling City have already evacuated to shelters with ordinary people. Those who remain here are the tens of thousands of cultivators above the Golden Core stage cultivated over the past few centuries, the absolute core of the Starry Sky Group.
To put it bluntly, the Starry Sky Group relies on these tens of thousands of cultivators at the Golden Core stage to manage the world.
There are top talents in various fields among them, usually shining in their respective positions, rarely gathering. But today, they received a call from the Starry Sky Group’s faith, the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals”: “All Yuanying and above cultivators of the Starry Sky Group, gather at Morling City.”
No one flinched, nor dared to.
Within a day, everyone gathered here.
Su Hao stood atop the Starry Sky Building, overlooking the dense crowd below, his eyes full of determination. He slowly spoke, his voice spreading throughout Morling City: “Everyone, follow me to Qingyu Youzhou!”
With that said, he flew up, moving at a steady speed towards the distance.
Yashan and Feng Cheng immediately followed suit, and Feng Xianglong, Feng Hua, Yun Qingping, Feng Yuer, and others followed afterwards. More and more people flew into the air, following behind Su Hao.
They didn’t know what they were going to do in Qingyu Youzhou, but they knew that following the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals” at this time couldn’t be wrong, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
Only a very few technicians had a flicker of doubt in their minds. Not long ago, the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals” asked them which position would be best to intercept from the Cultivation Star.
They gave the answer: Qingyu Youzhou.
Perhaps, the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals” wanted to lead everyone to intercept the asteroid?
But they quickly shook their heads because it simply wasn’t feasible! Even if these people rushed up to release spells to intercept, it still wouldn’t be enough to completely divert the asteroid!
The flying speed of the crowd was very fast, and in less than two days, they all arrived at Qingyu Youzhou and stopped in the sky above a huge square, floating silently.
The moment they arrived here, they all noticed the densely packed “Ten Thousand Explosions” bombs laid out on the square, but these bombs were nothing but empty shells.
They speculated in their hearts: “Could it be…”
Before they could think further, Su Hao spoke up: “These are the surplus bomb shells produced over the years, but there isn’t enough energy to fill them, so a large number of them are left unused. This is just a part of them! Each Golden Core cultivator is responsible for one, each Nascent Soul cultivator is responsible for five, and each Divine Transformation cultivator is responsible for fifteen!”
This was calculated by Su Hao to exactly drain the spiritual power within these cultivators’ bodies without causing them to collapse and die.
After speaking, Su Hao paid no attention to whether these cultivators were willing or not, or what they thought in their hearts. He immediately landed next to one of the bomb shells and began to input spiritual power.
Yashan and Feng Cheng quickly followed suit, each landing beside Su Hao and placing their hands on a bomb shell, inputting spiritual power.
The rest of the people glanced at each other and didn’t say anything. They each selected a bomb shell and began to input spiritual power.
In their view, facing the crisis of world destruction, this was only natural, and they had long considered whether the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals” would secretly dispose of them, drain their spiritual power, and throw them onto the asteroid.
Now letting them input spiritual power themselves is already the most merciful approach they can think of.
Moreover, it’s just about inputting all the surplus spiritual power into one bomb shell without disrupting the structure of spiritual power within their bodies, so the core remains intact.
But it must be said that the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals” has a sharp eye. Indeed, one “Ten Thousand Explosions” bomb is the limit for Golden Core cultivators, five for Nascent Soul cultivators, and fifteen for Divine Transformation cultivators. Then to release three to five spells afterward would be a stretch.
While Su Hao input spiritual power into the bomb, he observed the behavior of the tens of thousands of people, nodding inwardly.
Regardless of whether they volunteered or not, ultimately, no one hesitated too much. They all input spiritual power according to Su Hao’s standards, and those with surplus spiritual power even cooperated with others to replenish a bomb shell.
Su Hao himself filled fifty “Ten Thousand Explosions” bombs in one go. While those with ulterior motives watched in astonishment, all his spiritual power, except for maintaining the structure of spiritual power, was completely depleted.
At this point, if he were to continue to call upon too much spiritual power, the circulation of spiritual power within his body would inevitably collapse, leading to rapid death.
Two hours later, giant bombs shimmering with golden light covered the entire vast square, casting a golden hue over the clouds above the square. Rough estimates showed there were over a hundred thousand bombs.
Su Hao had a thought, “Little Light, if these 170,000 ‘Ten Thousand Explosions’ bombs were all detonated on the asteroid, would it be enough to divert the impact?”
Xiaoguang immediately responded, “Respected Mr. Su Hao, the calculation results indicate that it’s impossible to completely divert the impact. The asteroid will still impact the ground under the influence of the gravitational force of the Cultivation Star, causing a devastating effect. The specific data is as follows…”
After reviewing the data, Su Hao furrowed his brow and silently calculated, “It’s almost as expected, just a little short. No… in fact, it’s already enough. At this point, there’s no other way. Whether to save this world or not depends on their determination!”
At this point, Su Hao had exhausted all methods available to him. He had attempted various bombs and attacks, and all the ships capable of taking off had been loaded with materials to collide with the asteroid. Even his last hope for survival, the “Leap,” had been thrown onto the asteroid. Even those old-era cultivators hiding in Lingsha Continent had been labeled as heretics by him and used as bombs…
There were results, but they still weren’t enough to face the immensely huge asteroid.
Now, all the Starry Sky Group cultivators above the Golden Core stage had been summoned, and 170,000 bombs had been added.
Still not enough, just a little short!
It’s just this little bit, like a straw that could break the camel’s back. If there were just one more straw in his hand, he could crush the “camel” to death. But Su Hao just happened to lack that straw, and the “camel” continued to jump around in front of him.
It’s like struggling to reach that 0.01, but no matter what, it just isn’t there…
Such helplessness.
Su Hao opened his mouth, silently saying, “Me! I don’t even have the qualification to become a straw!”
