Chapter 654 The Venerable Ones Invade! The End of the World Arrives!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For most people in the real world, these are three days that are no different from any other.

Even after countless days, they continue to live at their own pace, repeating the endless tasks every day in order to make a living.

But for those who know the truth...

These three days felt like an eternity.

Because every minute that time advances forward also foreshadows the approaching end of humanity.

They know the truth, they cannot change it, they await death.

Inside a folded-up special space within the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, the Azure Gate, which, when unfolded, directly replaced an entire wall of the space, was emitting a faint glow.

At this moment, Qin Shusheng and Xie Zhi stood at the door, with a group of Fire Seed players who had been selected and were wearing combat uniforms behind them.

These people had all sorts of expressions on their faces.

There was resentment, indignation, and even a certain sadness.

They knew that once they left, they might never be able to return to their own world.

"Report! Fifty people were expected to be present in Space One, and fifty are present! Please give instructions!"

"Report! Fireseed Space Two..."

There are many such folded spaces at the headquarters of the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs, and almost every folded space contains a scene like this.

After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket; the Azure Gates that unfold in different spaces will lead to different instance worlds.

Apart from Qin Shusheng and Xie Zhi, no one knew the exact number of Fire Seed players, nor did anyone know which instance world they and their teammates would be going to.

Everyone must live on tenaciously, as if they were the last spark of humanity.

Except for the side with the Azure Gate, the walls inside the space reflect the scene outside the current headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events.

Qin Shusheng flicked the earpiece on his collar, and his voice reached the ears of everyone in the entire Fire Seed Space:

"Everyone, I'm tired of saying what I need to say these days."

"Project Fireseed is the last insurance that the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs has prepared for humanity."

"If a miracle happens, we may not need to activate it today, but we must always be prepared to activate it."

"In any case, I hope you will not forget what is happening in the real world today."

"Watch closely as those embodiments of the laws, the beings known as the Venerables, destroy everything we cherish, leave everyone homeless, and let this day be forever etched into your souls."

“I hope that one day in the future, one of you will be able to pull them down from their pedestals.”

"That's what he hoped for too."

The "he" that Qin Shusheng was referring to was naturally the Azure Dragon, who was far away in the sky.

After hearing these words, everyone turned their gaze to the wall around them that reflected the outside world.

Qin Shusheng silently disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already on the rooftop of the highest floor of the headquarters, where a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) that he had prepared in advance was placed.

Sitting on the top floor of this building, which overlooks the entire capital city, he picked up a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and took a swig, then his brows furrowed from the spiciness.

Looking up at the clear blue sky and white clouds, he murmured to himself:

"Brother Xi, I still can't get used to Erguotou. You really have to listen to me and drink more good stuff from now on."

"Besides, I haven't even had a chance to drink your and Shi Hui's wedding wine yet. Consider this a favor, brother, if we can't win, let's just run away..."

The "Brother Xi" that Qin Shusheng mentioned is a name that almost no one among the players of the Spirit Disaster is aware of.

The character 曦 is the given name, and the surname preceding it is also quite common—陈.

Chen Xi, that is Qinglong's real name.

Never before had Qin Shusheng felt such a strong urge for Qinglong to give up.

Since the Venerable One's invasion of reality is a foregone conclusion, why must we still make a final, desperate struggle in the sky?

Wouldn't it be better to survive and then lead the players of the Fire Seed to better develop in the dungeon world?

Who else is more qualified than Qinglong to do this kind of thing?

Qin Shusheng had advised the other party a few days ago.

But Qinglong simply said quietly, "I'm sorry, but I still want to try. Perhaps I can fight for another possibility for the future of humanity."

Qin Shusheng had no idea what Qinglong wanted to test.

But judging from the other person's expression at the time, this was definitely not something that could be tried easily.

But he had a strange premonition that, regardless of success or failure, he might never see the other person again.

After returning from the sky that day, Qinglong ordered Qin Shusheng to carry out the Fire Seed Project.

As for how so many people could sever global connections, that's something that doesn't even need to be considered.

Because such a large amount of Venerable power is pouring into the real world, this place will be completely destroyed, and all living beings here will lose contact with it.

Therefore, the execution of Project Fire is actually much simpler than imagined. All that is needed is to make these selected players leave the real world at the appropriate time after the Venerable One invades reality.

Now, that time is approaching.

Qin Shusheng raised the Erguotou in his hand, looking through the swaying liquid in the glass bottle—

I witnessed the arrival of the end times.

call--

The sky cracked open.

Unlike the strange phenomena that the "chaos" caused to the world before, this time it was not the phantom of dusk that covered the original sky.

Rather, the sky truly cracked open.

From anywhere in the world, the crack that stretches to the horizon can be seen, as if the darkness of the universe is presented directly to people.

Instead of the expected loud noise, there was an eerie silence.

That all-encompassing silence made even players around the world, unaware of the truth, feel waves of unease and despair.

A primal shudder rose in everyone's heart at the same time.

Something is coming...

The next second, the crack opened up like a wound, and what flowed out was not light—it was color.

Several distinct and extremely familiar colors, yet at this moment feeling as if they did not belong to the human world, were simultaneously injected into the bloodstream of the world like a virus.

The grayish-white color was the first to emerge.

It is not like a cloud, but more like some kind of breathing plaster. The moment it touches the blue sky, it turns the entire sky into a faded mural, and even the sun becomes a gray-white disc like a dead pupil.

Then, crimson bursts forth from an even deeper place, like an artery being slashed, causing blood to flow from the edge of the sky. When it drips down, it is not liquid, but a wailing sound called agony.

Almost simultaneously, a geometrically blue sky arrived, smoothing the cracks into perfect straight lines, cutting the clouds into cubes, and placing the sun at the absolute center.

But the dark green that followed immediately tore everything apart, causing the sky to spin, shift, and even fold, with clouds rolling around chaotically like spilled paint.

Until the silver froze one of the tumbling moments, forever freezing that sky in its distorted posture, like a nightmare that had been paused.

However, this pause did not last. A touch of purple disrupted the logic of the silver, causing the frozen image to begin rewinding. The clouds recovered from their shattered state only to shatter again, endlessly repeating the cycle.

Finally, gold and black appeared.

The golden light, like countless sharp swords, pierced through the thick clouds, giving the already chaotic sky a fleeting glimmer of dawn.

Blackness seeps up from the deepest part of the crack, like thick ink dripping into a clear pool, slowly and irreversibly dragging everything into the abyss.

Eight bizarre colors tore through the sky simultaneously, and the world could see the fingerprints of the gods just by looking up.

"As expected, He didn't come..."

Qin Shusheng finished the last sip of wine in his cup, but did not see the familiar bronze color he remembered. He immediately disappeared from the rooftop, leaving only the empty wine bottle swaying on the ground before finally standing there upright and motionless.

Wu Wang, far away on the coast of Mingyang City, stood on the deck of the Mary, enjoying the sea breeze.

They also witnessed the rampant invasion of the world by those colors representing different venerable beings.

They rushed back to Mingyang City last night.

This place where he was born and raised was also the place Wu Wang wanted to say goodbye to in the end.

At this moment, he seemed slightly puzzled. Pointing to the ripped-together sky, he said to Wu Xiaoyou and the others:

"Two Venerable Ones are missing."

"[Supreme Bliss] also includes [Nothingness]."

"Are they the bargaining chips that the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] used to deal with the Azure Dragon and [Chaos]?"

"Blackheart Penguin and I thought it would be [Order]."

Wu Wang wasn't surprised that there was also an aura of chaos mixed in.

After all, His current state was already off.

It's likely that besides allying with the Azure Dragon, a portion of His power is still being driven by instinct, which explains why He and the others have flooded into the real world.

Thinking of this, Wu Wang took out the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" item from his backpack.

Looking at the bronze-colored stone human head statue, he casually inserted his finger into the hole on its crown, lifted the entire skull, and revealed the steaming tea inside, which looked like blood.

It's almost here, but it's not the right time yet...

Wu Wang must wait until these Venerable Ones have a deeper understanding of the invasion of reality and can perceive all of this more clearly before he can drink this cup of tea and reveal his [Immortality].

Only at that point, even with the fortune teller's methods to conceal it, and even with Second Sister right beside them, the Venerables would still be able to sense them.

To be honest, Wu Wang did not discuss the exile plan he was about to carry out with the fortune teller.

Because of his previous conversation with Qinglong, Wu Wang realized—

Whether it's the fortune teller or the madwoman from the Pluto Research Institute, they both see "immortality" as the key to changing everything.

Therefore, the other party will absolutely not allow him to use "immortality" as a bargaining chip in this game of cat and mouse with the Venerables.

So he decided not to let the other party know about the plan.

After all, this "immortality" ultimately resides within oneself.

call--

The colors torn apart in the sky began to fall to earth.

The grayish-white fog was the first to reach the ground.

The moment it swept across the city, all the smiling faces on the billboards turned into real faces, peeking out from the screens and peddling desires to passersby.

A disheveled, low-level disabled player takes the healing prop from the advertiser. As his limbs grow back healthy, his skin turns into grayish-white marble, gradually solidifying and forever maintaining the posture of reaching out to beg.

He became the kind of stone statue Wu Wang had seen at the bottom of the Sea of ​​Desire—lacking nothing and having nothing left.

Blood-red cracks spread across the asphalt road like wounds.

Not everyone can see the blood immediately—those in the most pain are the first to notice, but even noticing it doesn't stop what happens next.

The patient on the operating table suddenly felt the pain of their ancestor breaking a bone three thousand years ago, and the infant felt the agonizing pain of an elderly person tormented by the passage of time...

All kinds of suffering transcend time and space, simultaneously befalling everyone He touches.

There were no screams in the city, because even the strength to scream had been swallowed up by the pain.

The azure-blue order begins to reshape the city.

The crooked utility poles were straightened, the winding streets were forcibly corrected, the heights of all buildings were made into integer ratios, the window sizes were all the same, and even the trash cans were arranged in an equidistant matrix.

People unconsciously lined up in rows, their expressions identical and their steps synchronized, which was quite unsettling.

They went from being independent individuals to becoming cogs in the machine that makes up the entire city.

Dark green, however, overturned all of that.

The buildings began to wriggle like mollusks; some burrowed into the ground, some flew into the sky, and some overlapped with their own mirror images.

Gravity shifted to an arbitrary direction, and an out-of-control elevator suddenly began to plummet upwards, causing the people inside to crash into both the ceiling and the floor simultaneously.

Two strangers suddenly turned into one person, with two faces on either side of the same head. They stared at each other and screamed at each other.

Where the silver light swept across, everything came to a standstill.

A grayish-white petal is falling and hovering in mid-air. Next to it are pink tears of laughter, and further on are red blood droplets. They are solidified into a strange still life painting.

The girl, who was running, held her pose, her hair frozen in the wind like a silver wax figure.

Her heart stopped beating, but her cells stopped dying too.

The purple light slithered into every crevice like a snake.

It did not change the physical world in the way chaos did, but rather it altered deeper relationships.

A mother looks at her child and suddenly feels that the child is her enemy; she begins to strangle the child. A man looks at his wife and suddenly feels that the wife is his mother; he begins to whine and cry. A city suddenly feels that its sewers are its brain, and all the sewage begins to think…

Golden light shone through every crevice.

It shone on the girl frozen in the silver light, and her eyelashes trembled—

It wasn't because she could move again, but because her heart had relearned to beat after being imprisoned for eternity.

Hope doesn't need freedom; hope only needs to exist.

A wildflower sprouted from a crack in the asphalt, its golden petals still glistening with crimson dewdrops.

Black waves surged up as well.

It's not darkness, it's blackness; it's the absence of hope, the evaporation of meaning.

The golden wildflowers withered, not because of lack of water, but because they forgot why they bloomed in the first place.

The girl whose eyelashes had been fluttering stopped moving again, not because hope had died, but because she had suddenly realized that hope itself was a form of torture.

It shows you light only so that you can perceive the darkness more clearly.

Blackness didn't kill anyone; it just made everyone think about one thing—are we living, or are we dying?

Besides humans, wondrous changes are also taking place among various plants and animals, and no living being can escape their influence.

There aren't many cities that have changed yet, but that's enough to make people realize something.

Wu Wang sensed all these changes.

Feeling that the time was almost up, they extended their tentacles to the creatures of the real world.

Next, he will drink the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" potion to reveal his "immortality," and then immediately apply to the Spirit Disaster game to enter the instance.

Draw all the attention away from these venerable ones who have come to the real world!

"Second sister, I'm ready..."

Before Wu Wang could finish speaking, he witnessed a scene that shocked him to his core.

A pinkish glow emanated from Wu Xiaoyou's body.

That foreshadows the arrival of supreme bliss.

But why?!

Why doesn't [Supreme Bliss] come from the heavens along with other Venerable Ones? Instead, it emerges directly from reality.

And what a coincidence—it appeared on Wu Xiaoyou!

What's going on?! (End of Chapter)
