Volume 8: Glass Chapter 705 Dusk
Present world.
Dawn Empire.
Originally, the royal family of Trisur ended the war, unified the continent, and gained unimaginable fame and love. People were looking forward to a new life of peace and harmony.
But the "Pale New Calendar" had just begun, and in less than two months, the empire was hit by various disasters and bad news.
First, a tsunami hit the north, flooding 17 cities along the coast and destroying countless ports. The terrible storm brought strong winds, heavy rains, and deafening lightning and thunder.
The storm spread across the entire northern border at an extremely fast speed, and then spread to the center of the empire, causing hundreds of cities to suffer, and countless people fell into a long sleep, never to wake up...
This storm disaster just happened not long ago.
People in the western region discovered that the crops and various agricultural products in the fields had all decreased in yield, and even underwent strange changes.
For example, the corn grown on the corn stalks is scarlet and smelly, the soft fibrous hair on the top has turned into hair, and the grains that should have been golden are actually white and deformed teeth.
The wheat withered and oozed disgusting pus, the fruits and vegetables were filled with blood, the various vegetables were like waxy yellow and wrinkled skin, and the venous fibers were like blood vessels and muscles.
Not to mention eating it, even looking at it from a distance is enough to scare you to death.
Large tracts of farmland turned into muddy swamps of blood. Even some livestock and wild animals were deformed, with their muscles and bones growing wildly, contrary to common sense and in a terrifyingly frenetic manner.
It seemed as if overnight, the familiar environment quietly turned into a purgatory of flesh and blood.
People fell into panic and were forced to migrate away.
Even though the imperial authorities sent out shelters and extraordinary people from various churches to investigate and resolve the issue, the effect was minimal.
Gradually, a rumor spread.
The establishment of the Dawn Empire angered the gods!
But soon this statement evolved into that the "King of Blue Clothes" worshipped by the royal family of Cuishuer was actually an evil god. It was this existence that blasphemed the original seven righteous gods, causing the world to manifest corresponding disasters.
If this continues, the end of the world will come.
As for the church that the royal family relies on and trusts the most, the "Church of Dawn", it has naturally been defined as a "cult" by many people. Of course, this only targets the main god they believe in, the "King of Blue Clothes".
After all, Jiaoyang is the most respected hero in the hearts of countless people in the empire.
As a result, demonstrations and even various small-scale riots began to appear in various parts of the Dawn Empire. Their demands were for the royal family to reorganize the Orthodox Church and order the Dawn Church to worship Arno the Proud Sun as its main god .
But the royal family of Trisur naturally would not pay too much attention to these.
Queen Anna and even the top officials of the empire knew very well that those so-called natural disasters were caused by the old seven gods.
But His Majesty the King of Blue Clothes is hunting them...
But one day in mid-February.
The whole world suddenly fell into a scorching dusk.
It was clearly early morning in the previous second, but it was already evening in the next second. The half-white and half-black sun that people were used to had completely turned black!
The entire sky was sprinkled with the blood-like glow of the setting sun.
Flooding every corner of the continent.
The deep, dark sun, like a huge, round black hole, hangs quietly above people's heads, like a hole in a red tablecloth, or like a gap in the world.
A scarlet and black vertical line extended from the bottom of the sun and fell to the end of the sky... It was as if the sun was shedding a tear of blood.
The earth-shaking changes caused panic among countless people.
The entire empire, whether it was the common people, the nobles, the wealthy, or the extraordinary people in the mysterious realm, were all shocked by the drastic changes in the sun.
"The end of the world is coming!!"
"Hot! So hot!"
"What the hell is wrong with this world?!"
In the imperial capital, Amberspeight, the streets were chaotic and crowded. People were rushing back and forth, carrying bags of food and supplies in their hands, rushing home.
Some people stopped and stared at the sky with despair on their faces.
"Even the sun has abandoned us..."
"This is divine punishment! It's punishment for the Trisur royal family's inaction!"
"Damn it! I knew it! The existence believed in by the Dawn Church will bring endless suffering to the world. Dear Sun God, please forgive our crimes!"
"No...we will be roasted to death! Who will save us?!"
On the street, people prostrated themselves on the ground and prayed towards the black sun in the sky.
An atmosphere of fear was spreading, and helpless people could only pray to God.
The temperature right now is extremely abnormal.
As dusk fell, the temperature in various parts of the empire reached 50 degrees Celsius. The heat was so unbearable that many ordinary people fainted.
Even low-sequence transcendents would feel uncomfortable in such high temperatures.
The earth was scorched and the high temperature caused animals and plants to die in large numbers.
And this high temperature does not seem to have any tendency to drop, but is gradually rising... It is foreseeable that if it continues like this, ordinary people on the surface will be roasted to death.
Deep in the royal city, at the gate of the Jiaoyang Palace built on the top of the mountain.
The spacious stone platform was scorching hot and the air was distorted. Queen Anna and a group of senior executives stood by the guardrail, looking solemnly at the city and the land in the distance.
Everywhere you look, you can see the dazzling glow of the setting sun.
With every breath, I felt a burning pain in my lungs.
"Your Majesty, please drink some water."
Beside Anna, the elderly butler Babaye was holding an umbrella for the queen. He did not even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead and handed her an exquisite cup of water.
"Thanks."
After Anna took it, she couldn't bear the thirst and drank a big gulp of water.
At this time, a high-ranking priestess of the Natural Cult spoke in a deep voice:
"Such a sudden natural disaster is caused by the loss of control of the fierce father. The world has been severely affected... If it is not dealt with in time, ordinary people will not be able to survive. They will die one by one. This is a disaster that no church can prevent!"
"We can only ask the gods for help."
Queen Anna took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She turned her head and looked at the senior officials of various departments of the empire, and whispered:
"From today on, the Empire enters a state of emergency. Water, medicine, food and other supplies are strictly controlled... Let the military, shelters and various coordination departments maintain order and prohibit unrest from occurring."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seven or eight high-ranking officials of the empire nodded their heads in agreement.
Anna looked at the Dawn Church leaders again and spoke softly:
"Sister Maggie, Bishop Noah, please report the current situation as soon as possible... I will also lead the royal family members to the Dawn Cathedral to pray to the gods for help."
"Duty is upon you, Your Majesty."
Noah nodded and touched his chest in a salute.
Anna then turned her gaze back to the city below, her eyes determined.
Not long ago, she went to the Kingdom of Cangwang and witnessed the wedding of God in Abbasye, the residence of the gods in the fairyland Tianyuan. She saw many angels and true gods with her own eyes...
Anna believed that even if the Sun God Fierce Father lost control, the gods of the Dawn Church would definitely find a way to resolve this crisis.
…
…
…
In the fairyland Tianyuan, on the white throne of Abbasye.
Chen Lun's face darkened slightly.
He could constantly hear prayers coming from all over the world, from men and women, young and old, very densely, with piety, sadness, pain, pleading... all kinds of emotions, just praying for salvation.
There was even cursing.
Chen Lun waved his hand and blocked the prayer.
"Jack, Kingsley is out of control..."
Beside the throne, there were three high-backed chairs on a seamless white platform, on which sat Mr. Jingyao, Miss Shengshu and the King of Slaughter.
The one who spoke was Mr. Angela, who had a solemn expression on his face.
"It was originally estimated that it would take another ten years, but the loss of control happened earlier than expected... I speculate that this was most likely done by Montgomery."
"I have done some divination, and it is true."
Chen Lun had a calm expression and nodded slightly.
He had just locked onto Ni Weng's location not long ago and was planning to set off to carry out his hunting plan.
But Li Shen was obviously frightened by the two consecutive death knells, so he took extreme self-rescue measures...that is, he used all means to force Lie Fu to take action, thus applying the last straw that broke the camel's back and causing him to lose control prematurely.
The purpose of doing this is self-evident.
"Montgomery is stalling."
Conrad leaned against the cold, hard white high-back chair, looking a little uncomfortable. He changed his sitting position, crossed his legs, held the wine glass and spoke softly.
"He knows very well that the loss of control by the fierce father will definitely lead to the destruction of this world. If we don't deal with it in time, then the anchor points of all high-ranking people will collapse."
Chen Lun had an indifferent expression and spoke softly:
"Well, Ni Weng calculated this precisely, so he detonated Lie Fu's pollution. He wanted to drag everyone down with him, because if he didn't do this, he would be my next target... Now that Lie Fu has become the biggest danger, Ni Weng can hide behind him and have more time to breathe."
As he spoke, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
“ But He still underestimated me.”
Ni Weng's move did disrupt Chen Lun's original plan.
To be on the safe side, Chen Lun originally planned to put Lie Fu last, and when his own "Holy Fire Aspect" had accumulated enough firewood, he would go to face the strongest true god directly... But this does not mean that he is afraid of Lie Fu now.
"I suspect that Ni Weng has other intentions. As a well-versed god of history, I don't think he would be stupid enough to think that Lie Fu alone can stop me from killing him, so he must have other tricks up his sleeve."
Chen Lun said calmly.
He looked at Miss Holy Tree and the King of Slaughter.
"Ms. Mia, Mr. Conrad, in order to avoid more accidents, I need the two of you to hunt down Ni Weng according to my divination results, while Mr. Angela and I will immediately set off to the Star Realm to fight to the death with Lie Fu."
"Of course, Jack."
Conrad chuckled as he swirled his glass.
The ice cubes collided with the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound.
Mia Mavis, who was sitting on the high chair beside Him, also nodded in agreement.
"Montgomery is suspicious by nature, and he has an endless stream of tricks. He is extremely good at escaping... At the beginning, I also relied on Clave's divination results to hunt him down, but the process was not smooth. He escaped several times, and Clarenso was even plotted against and accidentally injured and lost control."
Mr. Jingyao warned.
Chen Lun thought about it. The Eternal Sleeper was dead, so Oscar, who was originally responsible for guarding the seal, was naturally "freed". Now he was idle all day in Tianyuan. If he didn't let him do something, it seemed a bit of a waste...
So he raised his hand, turned his index finger into a small white snake, and handed it to Conrad.
"Give it to Oscar. With this snake, his status will be enhanced, which will be enough to continuously perform divination and positioning on Ni Weng. In this way, even if Montgomery can run, it will be useless."
Conrad took the snake with interest and raised his eyebrows.
"You're amazing, Jack."
