Chapter 949: Changes in the Secular World!
Huff, huff…
A man and a woman ran through the forest. Wherever they went, they left behind a trail of leaves and blood.
Plop!
The woman fell heavily to the ground. Her face was pale, and there was a wound the size of an egg on her stomach. Blood was pouring out from it.
The man’s expression changed and he quickly helped her up, “Junrou, are you alright?”
If one took a closer look, one would discover that the man was a young man. However, his left arm was severed, as if it had been forcibly bitten off by something.
He was Dragon Soul Sect’s member Li Zewei. When Niu Qingshan was severely injured by Guan Shanyue, it was this person and Li Ying who came together to ask Ye Chen to save him.
“Zewei, you don’t have to worry about me. Go, go, or everyone will die!” The woman turned around and urged weakly.
“No, let’s go together!”
Li Zewei was out of breath, his eyes red, “Otherwise, we’ll all die together. I, Li Zewei, am not someone who would abandon my teammate!”
Roar…
At that moment, a beast’s roar came from the forest, and the ground started to shake.
“Oh no, that beast is catching up!”
Li Zewei and the woman’s expressions changed.
Under their terrified gazes, they saw a gigantic creature that was almost nine meters tall running toward them like a building.
It was a wolf. Its fur was jet black, and its eyes were like dancing ghost flames.
It moved very quickly, crossing over 30 meters with a single step. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Li Zewei and the woman, looking down at them from above in a condescending manner.
“B*stard, I’ll kill you!”
Li Zewei roared angrily, then forcefully endured his injuries and charged towards that huge wolf with a crazed expression.
Facing such a scene, a flash of light flashed past the eyes of that huge wolf, and then it opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, obviously wanting to swallow Li Zewei whole.
“Zewei!” The woman’s eyes were filled with despair.
However, right at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded out from the sky, “As a member of the Dragon Soul Sect who carries a mission, you’re actually looking down on your own life like this?”
The woman was stunned.
Li Zewei stopped in his tracks, then looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a thin figure walking over slowly from afar.
At the same time, the giant wolf seemed to sense fear, and it immediately turned around to flee.
“Goldie, don’t let it escape.”
Along with the voice of a girl, the cry of an eagle suddenly resounded in the sky, and then a giant eagle that was almost 30 meters in size descended.
Under Li Zewei and the others’ shocked gazes, the giant eagle waved its claws and tore the giant wolf into pieces.
It was the Golden Flame Spirit Eagle.
It had also reached the venerable stage.
“M-Mr. Ye!”
Li Zewei widened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. He then stammered, “Y-You’re not dead?”
The lady looked at Ye Chen blankly.
Ye Chen extended his arm and waved. A stream of spiritual energy shot into his body and healed all his injuries. He then said, “Why do you think I’m dead?”
Plop!
Li Zewei knelt heavily on the ground and said in an extremely agitated manner, “Mr. Ye, you went missing after killing all the powerhouses who came into the world from Shang Santian. You’ve been missing for as long as ten months. The outside world says that you’re dead!”
“Ten months?”
Ye Chen frowned, “I went to Kunlun Ruins for some ten days at most. Why did you say it’s been ten months?”
“It’s been ten months indeed!”
Li Zewei said with incomparable certainty, “Just ten months ago, when the earth changed drastically and the spiritual energy recovered, when humans became stronger, many animals and plants also mutated, having insane capabilities. The giant wolf that was attacking us was just an ordinary wolf before.”
“You mean, the heaven and earth spiritual energy has been recovered for ten months?”
After Ye Chen asked that, he looked at Ye Wushuang, Luo Tianya, and the rest instinctively.
He had broken the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Seal ten days ago in the Kunlun Ruins, so why had ten months pa.s.sed in the secular world?
At that moment, even the woman could not help but speak up, “It has indeed been ten months since the upheaval on Earth!”
Ye Chen frowned as his eyes flickered. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, “I understand now. The Kunlun Ruins is another small world after all. After I severed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Seal, the Kunlun Ruins’ timeline no longer coincides with Earth.
“Based on what Li Zewei’s said, one day in the Kunlun Ruins is equivalent to one month in the secular world? After I broke the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Seal, I went into closed-door cultivation for ten days, and ten months had pa.s.sed on Earth!
A look of realization appeared in his eyes.
Ye Chen waved his sleeve as he thought to this point. He said after bringing the two of them to a safe place, “Tell me about the changes on Earth while I was gone!”
“Mr. Ye, actually, we don’t understand why such a change happened either…” Li Zewei slowly explained the changes on Earth in the past ten months.
Ye Chen was speechless after hearing that.
After the recovery of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the physical fitness of humans had improved. While their cultivation base had improved, the animals and plants had also mutated.
Animals like the rabbit that were supposed to be docile became much larger after absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual energy. It would be able to tear apart tigers and tear apart leopards. As for a ten year old ginseng, it could instantly become a hundred year old ginseng, possessing incomparable medicinal properties.
The world changed as well. The continents changed, the seas flowed backward, and many lands and oceans appeared out of nowhere. Many ancient lands had disappeared, and civilizations appeared one after another.
In the Middle East, a small country was destroyed by a mutated beast.
Therefore, the countries around the world gave up their prejudices and grudges and formed an alliance army to fight against these mutated beasts.
Meanwhile, some small cultivation families used this change to become first-rate families at once and took over a province.
Various corporations, biotech companies, and human body research inst.i.tutes appeared one after another. These corporations paid money to research various genetic reagents and cultivated countless super warriors. Their combat strength was comparable to an Emperor Stage cultivator.
“Oh, Mr. Ye, ten months ago, on the night of the upheaval on Earth, someone broke into the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor…” Li Zewei suddenly said.
Ye Chen raised his brows, “The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?”
“Yes, that person is very powerful. We used all kinds of advanced equipment, but we can’t find any trace of him.”
Li Zewei said with a serious expression, “That night, 5,000 terracotta soldiers revived strangely in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and flew away…”
“How are my friends in Tiannan now?” Ye Chen was most concerned about that.
“Everything is fine in Tiannan!”
Li Zewei said, “After you’re gone, your cousin, Ye Wen, and a few other women took charge of everything. After the spiritual energy on Earth recovered, Star Group was the first to develop many medicinal pills that could strengthen the human body. They were known as one of the six biggest consortiums in China!”
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and added, “Star Group rose too quickly, and the outside world thought that you were dead, so the other five consortiums joined forces to fight Star Group, where they sent out countless powerhouses!”
“Then what happened?” Ye Chen asked.
Li Zewei gulped and said, “In the end, they were all suppressed by someone called the Patriarch of h.e.l.l. The Patriarch of h.e.l.l forced his way into the five consortiums and plundered them…
“He even stole a few women…”
Ye Chen could not help but laugh when he heard that.
The patriarch was indeed the patriarch!
“Oh!”
Li Zewei continued, “Last month, a miracle medicine appeared on Mount Tai. Many consortiums and forces went there. Even Star Group sent people there!”
He shook his head and said, “However, Star Group seems to have suffered a loss. It’s said that a powerful being from Mount Tai has appeared and severely injured the Patriarch of h.e.l.l. We don’t know if he’s still alive…”
