Even after many years, this scene was still carved on countless people"s hearts.
As light spread out, divine energy began to cover the entire meteorite.
Looking towards the sky, Chen Heng"s expression was quite complicated.
Even though he had experienced a lot, it was the first time he had faced this kind of scene.
Using a single person"s power to fight against a meteorite; this was something that Chen Heng would not have dared to imagine in the past.
This was quite an interesting situation.
Indeed, that was the case with most things in the world.
He could not avoid this at all, and since he could not avoid it, he could only meet it head-on.
As such, Chen Heng slowly headed forwards.
Within his body, boundless divine energy was exploding out, and every single cell seemed to be baptised.
Sensing those changes, Chen Heng inwardly felt quite shocked.
He could feel the influence of divine energy on his body.
Divine energy had been refined from faith energy, and from when it had been first created, it had an invincible and terrifying power about it.
It could be used as a basic energy and also strengthen Chen Heng"s body.
As long as his body had enough divine energy, it would allow his body to continuously transform.
Boundless power appeared in Chen Heng"s body, giving him a strange sensation.
He felt as if he could do inconceivable things just by moving his hands.
Including moving aside this meteorite.
As such, he began to do so.
Boundless divine energy covered the entire meteorite and protected the human world. Following this, under countless people"s gazes, Chen Heng"s expression was calm as he slowly raised his arms.
His actions seemed quite slow, gentle and calm.
However, despite this, his movement was very resolute, making anyone unable to look away from him.
As he moved, a miracle happened.
As Chen Heng raised his hands, the entire meteorite began to glow.
The meteorite began to shake—it was not experiencing an earthquake; rather, it was moving.
Following this, the meteorite that was falling began to go through changes.
Cracks began to appear on the meteorite. At first, they were very small, but they became more and more obvious.
"That!" Standing on the ground, looking through an instrument, Karos looked dumbfounded, "N-No way…"
He thought about the previous times Chen Heng had acted.
Those times had been like this.
Could it be…
Before he could come back to his senses, more changes began to happen on the ma.s.sive meteorite.
The cracks became larger and larger, clearer and clearer.
At this point, even without any instruments, people could clearly see the changes in the meteorite.
As countless people watched on in shock, the meteorite began to shatter.
Ma.s.sive energy was released and blasted out.
"No, just a bit more!"
Seeing this, many people thought to themselves.
Even though the meteorite had begun to crack, it was very close to the human world, and it was not safe yet.
Moreover, even if it split open, the shattered pieces would still be able to cause great damage to the human world.
"You can do it!!"
All over the world, people walked out of their homes as they looked at the meteorite in the sky, as well as that tiny figure.
Countless people"s prayers turned into ma.s.sive amounts of faith energy, flowing into Chen Heng"s body.
Ma.s.sive power blasted out.
However, ahead, Chen Heng was at his limit.
The amount of faith energy from the whole world could be described as an ocean.
However, his divine energy was limited.
The speed at which he could convert faith energy to divine energy was limited.
Because of this limitation in the conversion efficiency, no matter how great Chen Heng"s faith energy was, he could not fully use it.
This was not a big deal normally, even against the mutated creatures.
However, things were different now.
Chen Heng raised his head and looked to the sky.
He did not know if it was a misperception, but he could feel the pressure coming from the air becoming greater.
As his power became greater, there seemed to be a dormant consciousness awakening and casting its gaze on his body.
This feeling was incredibly realistic, and Chen Heng could not shake it off.
"World rejection?"
Sensing the feeling from his Divinities, Chen Heng raised his head and realized some things.
World rejection was something that would happen in different worlds.
Different worlds had different laws.
When a power that did not belong to a world appeared, out of an instinctive protection, the world would reject that power.
It was not too bad in the past.
Back then, Chen Heng had not unleashed that power too evidently, so the rejection was not very strong.
However, after completely unleas.h.i.+ng his divine energy, the World Rejection came at him in full force.
A strange coldness a.s.saulted him.
Standing there, Chen Heng opened his eyes and looked out.
In his body, the Fortune Mark activated.
Under the support of the Fortune Mark, Chen Heng was able to see things he had not been previously able to see.
As Chen Heng continued with his actions, black fog began to land on his body.
The black fog contained inauspiciousness, as if it was cursed by the world.
Chen Heng was not unfamiliar with this.
"Tribulation aura?"
Looking at the black fog, Chen Heng frowned and thought to himself.
He had seen this in many worlds before, and he had even personally experienced the destruction of a world.
Tribulation aura represented inauspiciousness, and the denser it was, the more dangerous things would be.
Chen Heng had never thought that he would be unlucky to come into contact with it now.
It seemed that as his power caused ma.s.sive changes in the world, the world"s consciousness began to take notice of him.
"How troublesome…"
Standing there, Chen Heng thought for a moment before giving a slight smile.
"Let"s try it out then… let"s see what this world is like!"
Sensing the World Rejection, Chen Heng knew that he was in a dangerous situation.
However, so what?
From before until now, Chen Heng had experienced countless dangerous situations.
So what if he experienced another one?
In that moment, light burst out and a boundless aura rushed to the sky.
"Roar!!"
At that moment, everyone raised their heads and saw a terrifying scene.
A ma.s.sive beast suddenly appeared, rus.h.i.+ng towards the sky.
It was an incredibly savage-looking monster. It had nine heads, all of which looked different. Its body was covered with scales, which glinted with cold light.
Nothingness energy rippled out as it rushed towards the sky.
"That is…"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the world was dumbfounded.
"This is the power of a mutated creature?" Karos muttered, looking shocked, "Not only did he defeat those mutated creatures, he also took their energy?"
It was indeed as he had guessed.
In the past, Chen Heng had defeated those mutated creatures, and their very essence had been plundered by him.
Now, he had unleashed it at full power.
A ma.s.sive mutated creature"s image rushed towards the sky. It was bigger than any mutated creature in the past, but it no longer had the corrupting property. Instead, under the effect of divine energy, it became quite different.
Boom!
The meteorite began to fragment even more.
As countless people watched on, the savage beast rushed at the meteorite and crashed into it.
Following this, an almighty explosion blasted out.
Brilliant light covered everything, and soon, everything disappeared.
Standing on the human world, everyone was blinded by the light, unable to see anything.
Right now, they could only desperately pray.
The boundless faith energy gathered in the air and turned into a river of faith energy that flowed out.
A boundless energy covered the human world, protecting it so that it was not harmed.
In that moment, in a corner of the human world, a device was giving off light.
"Detected unknown energy… the destruction process has failed…"
A robotic voice continuously sounded out clearly.
"Beginning a.n.a.lysis… a.n.a.lysis failed… rebooting… rebooting failed…"
Following this, the device shattered.
The boundless golden light covered the human world for a long time before it gradually faded.
After the light disappeared, everyone came to their senses and looked around.
"I"m… not dead…"
Many people touched their faces and came to a realisation.
They were still alive, and had not disappeared.
However, the meteorite in the sky had disappeared.
The sky became pure blue again, looking the same as before.
The calamity seemed to have pa.s.sed.
"That meteorite… was destroyed…"
At the ma.s.sive control desk, the researchers came to a conclusion.
Following this, everyone looked at each other.
"A meteorite exploded in such a short amount of time?"
Even though they had guessed at this, they still could not help but gasp.
With humanity"s current technology, shattering a meteorite would be impossible.
Let alone the human civilization, even the Kar civilization would not have been able to do such a thing.
Otherwise, they would not have been destroyed.
Before, no one would have dreamed of destroying a meteorite, but now, this had happened before their eyes.
Of course, this was not the only thing that shocked them.
That meteorite had been incredibly close to their world, and for the meteorite to explode at such a close distance, it still would have caused unimaginable damage to the human world.
It would not have been surprising for the entire human world to be annihilated from the shockwave.
Even if the human world was not destroyed, the power of the shockwave would have killed all living creatures.
However, none of that had happened.
Everything was fine, and there seemed to be no signs of destruction.
No one could believe their eyes.
It could be said that too many shocking things had happened on this day.
Undoubtedly speaking, for the world to be protected like this, only the Protagonist"s could have done something like this.
They had all seen that light cover the entire human world; this was something that they would never forget.
That light had evidently been the reason why the world was fine.
"Where are the fragments of the meteorite?"
Everyone fell silent for a while before someone asked, "Have any been discovered?"
"There"s no way to detect them," someone else said with a bitter smile, "After that meteorite descended, most of our tools became useless. It will be some time before they can be restored.
"For now, we won"t be able to look for those fragments. However, the situation right now is quite good."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
