Chapter 713: Chapter 389 Messages from the Gods
“`
In the blink of an eye,
another month had passed.
Chen Sheng was unaware of the undercurrents rising from the cosmic tides above.
On Blue Star now, due to the injection of laws and energy a month earlier, there were also immense changes.
In the process of the World Consciousness absorbing energy,
the Spiritual Energy Tide that once swept across Blue Star, inducing the awakening of Heavenly People and the Qi-sensors,
erupted four times in just one short month, with even greater ferocity.
With each occurrence,
it enabled a great number of commoners without the innate talent of Qi-sensors to successfully awaken.
It also allowed many who were already Qi-sensors to have an explosive increase in Constitution overnight, far surpassing their previous talents.
According to the statistics from the Martial Arts Association,
during this period,
China’s population of Qi-sensors alone had risen from 1% a month ago to 10% now.
While a tenfold increase might not seem exaggerated on the surface,
one must realize
that China has the largest population base on Blue Star.
A tenfold increase means that the currently registered number of Qi-sensors has exceeded one hundred million.
Not to mention that there is also a portion of Qi-sensors who have not yet been accounted for or have kept their status hidden, unreported.
It could be said
that Blue Star had taken a solid step towards the era that Chen Sheng envisioned, where everyone is like a dragon.
And this,
was merely the transformation within the human population.
For the wild beasts blessed with innate physical bodies, along with a deluge of new laws,
it was an even greater opportunity.
In the span of one month,
every day,
there were a large number of animals undergoing mutations.
News such as house cats and dogs becoming larger in size,
or enormous wild beasts attacking human settlements appeared every day.
The number of such occurrences was more, not less, than that of humans.
Fortunately, thanks to Chen Sheng’s advance warning,
all the forces had already made preparations in the shortest time possible.
As a result,
they were able to avoid causing too much commotion.
Only occasionally,
in some rarely frequented areas or in the midst of the ocean, would an Alien Beast of exaggerated strength appear.
When facing Alien Beasts of this caliber,
national powers found themselves unable to resolve the situation swiftly and, worried that prolonged occupation might lead to adverse effects, had no choice but to seek help from Chen Sheng.
Just like today.
Just like this moment.
On Blue Star, in international waters,
on an Uninhabited Island approximately one hundred kilometers away from human settlements,
dozens of fully-armed combat personnel gathered on the coast, their expressions tense and panicked as they gazed out at the Sea Surface.
“Has anyone seen it?”
The asking voice trembled slightly.
No one responded.
The surroundings were enveloped in a deathly stillness.
The Sea Surface was unusually calm.
Not a breath of air stirred.
Under such an atmosphere,
the personnel could even hear their own heartbeats.
And fear,
continued to spread among their hearts.
These Transcendents all came from the Exotic Beast Special Affairs Bureau.
This bureau was formed a month ago under the leadership of the Martial Arts Association, with personnel dispatched from all powers, specially designed to handle Alien Beast incidents.
This time, they had received a report of a significant abnormal reaction near international waters and had come to investigate.
Given the unprecedented strength of the energy reaction,
the number of combat personnel deployed exceeded a hundred.
However,
when they arrived near the island on a warship, they were suddenly attacked.
Darkness shrouded the sky.
Before the personnel could even see their attacker, the warship was torn apart and sank to the seabed.
And the original group of nearly a hundred,
having not even properly seen the face of their target, had already lost more than half of their number.
The survivors had all gathered on this small island, preparing for their next move.
In the center of the personnel,
a middle-aged man with a stern face was checking the remaining equipment, while also issuing orders to the others.
“Everyone spread out and maintain a certain distance for vigilance,”
“You, take the communicator and immediately request assistance from headquarters,”
he said casually, tossing the communicator to one of them.
Then,
he picked up a military drone again and activated it.
“Without my order, no one acts recklessly.”
“We are the first line of defense against Alien Beasts, and we must at least buy enough time for headquarters.”
“If anyone wants to flee,”
“then think about your families.”
“If you run today and let the Alien Beast get closer to human gathering areas, causing countless injuries and deaths,”
“then maybe one day, your own families will also lose their lives because of someone else’s cowardice.”
The middle-aged man’s gaze swept over the faces of the personnel.
Sensing their fear, he did not resort to threats,
but rather reminded the personnel of the initial reason they joined the Exotic Beast Special Affairs Bureau.
His brief speech,
though not inspiring,
was enough to temporarily steady the personnel’s nerves.
Fear was forcibly suppressed.
Under the middle-aged man’s command, they quickly dispersed.
And he,
launched a drone, controlling it to ascend slowly, ready to detect the situation beneath the Sea Surface from above.
Whether it was the uncanny quiet of the surroundings,
or the enormous shadow that had attacked the warship earlier,
both were signs,
that their target this time was very likely a giant beast from the deep ocean.
The Ocean,
accounting for 70% of Blue Star’s territory.
To this day,
human exploration of the ocean still had many unknown areas.
Whether it was the terrifying giant beasts of over a hundred meters in size that existed even before the Spiritual Qi Awakening,
or the mysterious areas that could render all communicators nonfunctional,
these entities,
were only beginning to reveal their true faces to humanity after the Awakening of Spiritual Qi.
Therefore,
when dealing with energy reactions within the ocean,
the Exotic Beast Special Affairs Bureau always responded with the highest level of alert.
