Chapter 801 - 774: Tamu’s Wrath
Hundreds of billions, even up to a trillion tons of TNT equivalent were released in mid-air, erupting with a brightness billions of times more dazzling than the sun.
Under such temperatures reaching hundreds of millions of degrees, no material could maintain its original structure. Within a two hundred kilometer radius of the nuclear explosion center, whether it was mountains, rivers, or lakes, everything vaporized.
A terrifying particle storm swept through everything; countless creatures turned into a wisp of smoke before they even had a chance to struggle.
Among them was even a wanderer with weak divine power secretly observing from the clouds.
By the time it realized something was wrong and tried to escape, it was already too late.
The dark clouds were instantly dispersed, and its true form was exposed directly to the all-dissolving strong light. Before it could flee far, it was annihilated, and its body turned into a piece of charcoal.
...
A thousand kilometers away, at the spatial passage.
Many people stood in shock, staring at the bright light on the horizon.
"Could it be the Barbarian God?"
Zhang Zhixiang knitted his brows, hesitating whether to leave or not.
This bizarre celestial phenomenon was truly chilling and unsettling.
As an ordinary, mediocre martial artist nearing middle age, with elderly above and children below, he had long passed the age of reckless adventure.
The life he longed for most was to find a school and become a martial arts teacher.
Good pay and benefits, and it’s also safe and comfortable.
Unfortunately, it was possible a few years ago, even a year ago.
But now, there are simply too many martial artists, competition is fierce. He is just an ordinary martial artist with no connections, no way in, and no special achievements or higher education, with an average appearance, wanting to be a martial arts teacher?
That’s as likely as eating air!
And he doesn’t fancy any other job, so he can only go hunting in another world to barely make a living.
Fortunately, he’s pretty good at archery; as long as he sees ordinary creatures from the other world, he can easily capture them.
As for anything else, he doesn’t wish for much.
Just safety and peace is enough.
"I doubt it, who knows what’s going on there?" a teammate next to him said, looking serious.
However, as time passed minute by minute, no one left.
After all, it was too far away, and there didn’t seem to be any disturbance, plus the spatial passage was just a few steps away.
Soon, the bright light faded, replaced by an eerie red glow, scarlet like blood.
Eventually, even the red light disappeared, everything returned to calm, and everyone let out a sigh of relief as the atmosphere became lively again.
"Sigh, this job doesn’t come easy, the other world is way too dangerous," Zhang Zhixiang sighed, then said:
"Once I save enough money, I’ll never come back."
"You haven’t enough yet? Didn’t you say last time you saved ten million?"
"What’s ten million good for? Even a cultivating version of imitation divine blood costs ten thousand a small bottle, plus I have five kids, they need proper nurturing, can’t let them fall behind at the starting line, that’ll be a big expense too," Zhang Zhixiang said sternly.
Hearing this, several teammates next to him also became melancholic.
"I have four, almost the same as you."
"Including the one expecting, that’s three now, and it’s hard to abort, such a hassle!"
Nowadays, birthing is encouraged, with severe crackdowns on underground abortion and contraceptive productions. Once pregnant, you must deliver the baby. Even Zhonghai, with its traditionally low birth rate, has seen annual birth rates soar to three or four percent in recent years.
The topic then veered off, and everyone started murmuring about various home remedies and small tricks for contraception.
They looked sneaky and lewd.
"Actually, plastic bags aren’t reliable..." Zhang Zhixiang was about to share his experience.
However, at this moment, someone exclaimed.
"Look quickly!"
"Oh my God!"
Zhang Zhixiang’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked over, only to see countless birds taking flight into the sky.
The dense flock was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
Some birds were clearly powerful extraordinary beings, enormous in size and sparkling with a glow of energy. Yet at this moment, they seemed terrified, emitting piercing wails like startled birds.
While everyone was at a loss for what to do, the ground suddenly started shaking violently.
The entire world began to tremble.
...
million years ago, a 10-kilometer wide asteroid struck Earth, creating a crater approximately 180 kilometers in diameter, directly bringing the thriving Cretaceous Period to an end, leading to a global mass extinction event.
Including dinosaurs, the majority of species went extinct, paving the way for the Paleogene Period.
And its equivalent was a hundred trillion tons of TNT.
Chen Shouyi’s ten billion tons was just one-thousandth of that.
But even at one-thousandth, its power was equally terrifying.
The nuclear explosion left a crater 200 meters deep and 50 kilometers in diameter, impacting even up to a 1000-kilometer range.
Every forest within millions of square kilometers was destroyed by the shockwave.
When Chen Shouyi emerged from the flowing magma underground, the entire world was silent.
The sky was gray, the sunlight was obscured by thick dust, and large masses of volcanic ash fell from the sky.
A mushroom cloud dozens of kilometers wide, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, stood like a giant pillar, with lightning and thunder within.
As for the giant, not a trace remained.
"Alas, too much force," Chen Shouyi’s face was pale, still anxious.
He merely intended a few hundred kilograms of hydrogen fusion.
Tens of millions to hundreds of millions of tons would be enough, not to mention he didn’t have the capability for more.
But unexpectedly, these hundreds of tons of hydrogen, although deliberately distributed loosely in the sky, triggered a chain reaction in the nuclear explosion.
If it weren’t for his quick reaction, frantically burrowing into the ground, he might have been caught in a trap.
However, his crisis wasn’t over.
"Something’s off, better return to Earth first."
His heart pounded, filled with a strong sense of foreboding, seeming to hint at vast and mad power surging hiddenly.
Not daring to linger, he immediately restored his body to human size, then burst forth with a sonic boom, rubbing against the flames, rushing towards the sky.
"Boom!"
Thick lightning frequently tore through the sky, creating deafening thunder.
Pushing his speed to the limit, his body turned into a bright red stream of light, desperately flying towards the passage at speeds of several tens of Machs per second.
One thousand kilometers.
...
Nine hundred kilometers.
...
Eight hundred kilometers.
...
Time seemed to slow incredibly; each second felt like an eternity.
The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger, and he seemed to smell the scent of death.
"Damn, it really came."
Decisively, he activated "Insight".
In the next instant, terrifying silver light erupted in his eyes, and his mind instantly broke through to another dimension, the hidden essence and truth of the world revealed before his eyes.
His previously stern face relaxed, replaced by a confidence akin to omnipotent omniscience.
Chen Shouyi looked down at his body.
Basic particles construct everything in the world; his body was no exception.
According to quantum theory, everything is a probability wave.
Each basic quantum inherently carries uncertainty, described by probability distributions of various possible states, only collapsing into certainty upon observation to determine an object’s true state (Schrodinger’s cat).
For example, him being here is a high probability event but with a minuscule probability not being here, like at the passageway, or even at the other end of the universe.
Though the probability is almost infinitesimally small, it still holds a possible chance.
And what Chen Shouyi needed to do was simple, just collapse this "low probability" into a certain point.
Under normal circumstances, this maneuver would be an utter fantasy, but under "Insight", it was as simple as drinking water or breathing. Natural, without even complex operations, just a mere thought.
The next moment.
He disappeared from this place, even from this world.
With a spatial transformation.
Chen Shouyi abruptly appeared on a small mountain more than a hundred kilometers from Zhonghai City, then canceled Insight.
The entire time, he only spent 1 millisecond.
Over a hundred points of Faith Value.
Half a minute later, Chen Shouyi awoke from the dizziness following the cancellation of Insight, with a look of incredulity.
It wasn’t until this moment that the true power of Insight revealed itself to Chen Shouyi.
