Chapter 924: The Disappearing Jade Illusion Continent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Di Ruofeng’s words were like a heavy hammer that struck everyone’s chest.
Everyone felt suffocated.
Sheng Xiao asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Dean Di, what happened on the continent?”
Yu Huang and the others also looked at Di Ruofeng eagerly while waiting for his reply.
Di Ruofeng looked at them hesitantly. It was obvious that he had something to say, but he couldn’t bear to say it.
“Grand Master.” Yu Huang couldn’t help but urge Di Ruofeng, “Tell us, what exactly happened on the continent?”
Di Ruofeng’s eyes were wide open. Yu Huang and the others could clearly see his golden pupils trembling slightly. Di Ruofeng clenched his fists as he said in a choked voice, “The Jade Illusion Continent is gone.”
Yu Huang’s pupils suddenly dilated.
“It’s gone?” Yu Huang’s voice broke as she asked hoa.r.s.ely, “Why is the Jade Illusion Continent gone?”
Di Ruofeng only shook his head and was unwilling to say anything else. Dino and Pupu An were also silent and had sorrowful expressions.
Helpless, Yu Huang could only look at Lin Jiansheng. “Mentor, what exactly happened on the Jade Illusion Continent?”
Lin Jiansheng’s face was filled with pity and sorrow. His hand, which was holding the Purifying Spirit Scepter, was also trembling. Lin Jiansheng bit his cheek as he said in anguish and anger, “A month ago, the global satellite signal and wireless signal were blocked. The underground magnetic field became chaotic. Planes, ships, smart cars, and maglev trains all left their original trajectories. That was an extremely chaotic day. There were traffic accidents everywhere…”
Yu Huang couldn’t help but frown when she imagined that chaotic scene and she hurriedly asked, “What happened after that?”
Dino finally spoke.
He said, “The continent was in chaos for two days. After the satellite signal, wireless signal, and underground magnetic field returned to normal, the various continents sent signals to the other continents immediately. However, we discovered that we had lost contact with the Jade Illusion Continent at the same time.”
“After realizing this situation, we all thought that the Jade Illusion Continent had temporarily lost contact with us because of a natural disaster.” The Jade Illusion Continent was in the middle of the Divine Sea and the Light Sea. It was a living volcano island. The active volcano on the Jade Illusion Continent erupted almost every hundred years.
Therefore, when they found out that the Jade Illusion Continent had lost contact with them, they mistakenly thought that the Jade Illusion Continent had lost signal with them because of a natural disaster.
“But when the Beast Tamer Alliance sent people to the Jade Illusion Continent to investigate the disaster’s casualties, they discovered…” Dino’s fingers, which were holding his sword, suddenly tightened. His pupils quivered slightly, and his throat tightened as he said,” But they discovered that the Jade Illusion Continent had disappeared. ”
“Disappeared…” Sheng Xiao frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Did the people on the island disappear, or…”
“I mean what I said literally.” Di Ruofeng interrupted Sheng Xiao.
As if he was afraid of something, he said with a trembling voice, “The entire Jade Illusion Continent seems to have been uprooted and moved to another place. The place where the Jade Illusion Continent used to be had now become a dark chaotic s.p.a.ce. There is no land or living creatures there. There is not even oxygen, which animals need to survive.”
“… The Jade Illusion Continent is gone. There’s nothing there.”
Hearing this, everyone in the room gasped.
“Why did the Jade Illusion Continent suddenly disappear? Was… was it done by the heavens?” Beatrice asked.
Everyone wanted to know the answer to her question.
“Who else could it be?” Lin Jiansheng sneered and said, “It can’t hold it in anymore and is taking the initiative to attack us.”
After a moment of silence, Yu Huang asked, “Other than the Jade Illusion Continent, what’s the current situation of the other continents?”
“It’s safe for the time being, but the current peace is only a temporary illusion. Before long, it will extend its demonic claws again. What we have to do is catch it first and crush that demonic claw ruthlessly before it reaches out!”
“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Pupu An picked up a camera from the table behind him and said, “Children, you guys have successfully graduated, so let’s take a graduation photo together.”
The disappearance of the Jade Illusion Continent cast a gloom over everyone’s hearts. Therefore, when they took the graduation photo, no one could bring themselves to smile.
When Pupu An saw that everyone’s expressions were heavy, as if they were about to die, he smiled and teased everyone. “Children, never lose the smile on your faces. When you lose your smile, you lose hope.”
Sheng Xiao and the others quickly composed themselves and looked up at the camera.
Click—
With the shutter sound, Sheng Xiao and the others graduated.
After taking the graduation photo, Sheng Xiao and the others were mercilessly chased out of the school by the school leaders.
Their luggage had been packed three years ago, so they didn’t even need to pack their things. They walked through the field towards the school gate empty-handed.
The once muddy and b.u.mpy field had become flat and smooth after three years of trampling by the students.
Time could flatten the edges of the field and crush all the obstacles on the road of growth.
Sheng Xiao suddenly stopped in the middle of the field. He looked at Feng Yuncheng and said, “Do you still remember that the first time we met six years ago was here?”
How could Feng Yuncheng not remember?
Six years ago, Sheng Xiao was the number one genius on the continent, while Feng Yuncheng was the useless fourth son of the Feng family. In the blink of an eye, six years had pa.s.sed, and they had become best buddies.
As Feng Yuncheng thought of the past, he suddenly said, “I think we need to reintroduce ourselves.”
Feng Yuncheng extended his right hand to Sheng Xiao and said seriously, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Feng Yuncheng, not Feng Zhen.”
Sheng Xiao also extended his wide right hand and held Feng Yuncheng’s right hand tightly as he said in a low voice, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Sheng Xiao, not Ma Yao.”
Yu Huang smiled when she heard this. “Then it seems that Fourth Brother and I need to get to know each other again as well.” She extended her right hand towards Feng Yuncheng and smiled as she said, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Yu Huang, but you can still call me Little Yu.”
Feng Yuncheng also shook his head and laughed.
He held Yu Huang’s right hand gently as he told her, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Feng Yuncheng. Feng Si is just my alias.”
Seeing this scene, Beatrice and the others were somewhat moved.
Beatrice suddenly took a step forward. Then, she turned around and faced Yu Huang and the others. After adjusting her emotions, she said, “Since everyone is reintroducing themselves, I also want everyone to get to know me again.”
After Beatrice swayed her waist, her long legs turned into a merman’s fishtail. She stared at her good friends and said in a choked voice, “h.e.l.lo, everyone. My name is Beatrice, and I’m from the Xixia Sea. In the past, I had an incomparably powerful male soul in my heart. However, fate was unfair and made me a woman. I once blamed the heavens and other people for this.”
“But after experiencing so much, I’ve finally let it go and moved on.”
