Chapter 1416: The World's Panic
"Even though I won't delete your files, my true identity still has to be kept strictly confidential!"
Hart and Momo both nodded with serious expressions!
They were brothers who had gone through life and death together; no matter what, they wouldn't betray Jiangnan!
And even if Momo wanted to say something, she couldn't, right?
Bai Kou's lips curled into a sly smile.
(≖ᴗ≖❆) "What? Afraid that once your identity is exposed, the Holy Star will come looking for trouble?"
Jiangnan's face darkened, and he shivered violently.
(´-﹏-`；) "You don't understand—my situation is complicated, and it's not easy staying alive!"
"Once the news that I faked my death gets out, the Holy Star wouldn't even need to make a move—I'd be dead just like that!"
Not to mention others, just Grandfather Xiao alone could beat me to death, let alone Mi Ye and the others...
After deleting everyone's files, Jiangnan didn't immediately leave. Instead, he had Bai Kou continuously blow a blizzard!
After all, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Only when all the scavengers backed off in frustration would Jiangnan withdraw!
...
At that moment, inside the ice cave of the frozen tundra!
An endless snowstorm blew out from the spatial gate of the Shenyu Lingxu!
Countless scavengers screamed as they were blown out through the shaft.
Others were pressed against the ice walls, shivering from the cold.
(#)˃̥̩̥̥̥̥̆ಐ˂̩̩̥̥̩̥̆(#) "Ptooey! The snowstorm in this Shenyu Lingxu is so strong! There's no way to get in at all!"
(#)´ε｀(#) "It's too powerful! It even blew my clothes to shreds! The snowstorm hitting my face feels like someone slapped me—it hurts like hell!"
(#)⋟益⋞ "Brother! You're not wrong! My face is really swollen! Half my teeth are gone! What kind of damn bizarre extreme cold snowstorm is this?"
୧(*꒦ິ口꒦ີ)୨ "Ah!!! My hair and eyebrows are gone too! Does this extreme cold snowstorm come with a wash-and-cut function? This really is a relic spirit ruin!"
At that moment, outside the Shenyu Lingxu, the scavengers all had terrified expressions as if they'd seen a ghost!
The spatial gate had just opened, and the extreme cold snowstorm blowing out from inside actually had such terrifying power?
No matter their level or strength, everyone's faces were swollen, teeth shattered, and eyebrows and hair were completely gone!
Even their clothes had been unknowingly blown to pieces!
"Could this wind have been cursed by a god-level powerhouse from the ancient Gusu era? Otherwise, how could it have such power?"
"This is a cursed wind—it doesn't kill people, but it uses every means to stop people from entering the Shenyu Lingxu!"
"I'm pulling out—this is too weird. No matter how tempting the treasures are, they're not worth more than my own life!"
All kinds of strangeness made the scavengers completely give up on the idea of re-entering the Shenyu Lingxu!
They all retreated!
Just then, Yin was blown out by the snowstorm and slammed hard into the ice wall!
His face was full of ferocity.
(##)థ皿థ(##) "Hmph! Falling into your Aka's hands was because I was outmatched!"
"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you where I got the Star Ring fragments!"
"Niki, right? I'll remember... huh..."
Yin, who had been cursing loudly, suddenly froze.
(##)•̌.•̑(##)
What the hell? Wasn't I captured by Aka's people and locked in a dungeon being tortured?
How did I end up back at the entrance of the Shenyu Lingxu?
Could... could I have traveled through time?
Just as Yin was puzzled, Bai Lian, Lilith, and the other five were blown out too!
Not only were their faces battered and swollen, but they were also bald!
Yin was even more confused: "Damn? How are you all here too? I was captured by Aka this morning, and you've already rescued me?"
"You guys work that fast?"
Clearly, Yin's memory had been overly deleted, and he was still stuck about a month ago!
Lilith panicked: "Have you been blown silly by the wind? Hurry up and take the chance to run! Are you waiting to die here?"
Kaili screamed: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone bald! I'll beat you to death!"
The memories of these people had already returned to nine days ago!
Only Bai Lian was rubbing her face, looking confused, as if trying to recall something.
ᕦ(O)⌒～⌒(O)ᕤ
In the end, a completely bewildered Yin was dragged away by Lilith and the others...
Jiangnan then briefed Bai Kou, agreeing to meet up in Blood Capital!
Taking Xiao Jiuwo, he teleported out of the Shenyu Lingxu and headed straight for Blood Capital!
As for the Polar White Bear clan, Jiangnan didn't bring them. Instead, he entrusted Old White and the others to Bai Kou!
Later, they could be moved to live in the Hanshan Lingxu to guard the Shenyu God's remains!
Over a long period of being soaked in spatial energy, they might even eventually mutate into spatial-type spirit beasts!
Bai Kou, Hart, and the others were the last to leave!
They made their way back to Blood Capital, where Jiang Tianqing and his group opened a suite 888 at the Ula Hotel!
They waited quietly for Bai Kou and the others to arrive!
Once out of the permafrost zone and at the hotel, the phone finally connected to the internet!
Jiangnan quickly checked the recent news!
After all, there had been no internet during the nine days in the Shenyu Lingxu, so he had no idea how things had developed outside!
On the International Headlines Network, discussions about Jiangnan's death had decreased significantly; the heat had died down!
But one of the hottest posts left Jiangnan completely dumbfounded!
Title: Shocking! Global catastrophe about to descend, the end of the world is coming! Countries are blocking news to avoid public panic!
They are all doing their utmost to develop and build spacecraft, fleeing Lan Xing, preserving humanity's last spark!
The social system is about to collapse! And you—are you ready?

The pictures showed various natural disasters around the world, along with a few photos of rocket launch sites!
Seeing this post for the first time, Jiangnan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
This kind of post could be pushed to the hottest?
Who wrote it? It couldn't be the Shocking News Department again, could it?
Jiangnan clicked on the comments, and netizens were discussing fervently!
"Give it a rest! Fleeing Lan Xing? Humanity's technological level can't even leave the solar system—where are we going to flee?"
"Another fake news for clicks. But the disasters around the world are real. There have been too many natural calamities this year, and the ocean tides have become inexplicable."
"Exactly, exactly. The spirit calamities in the uninhabited areas just quieted down not long ago, and now strange changes are happening all over the world. Maybe the apocalypse really is coming—it's making people nervous!"
"Remember the meteor shower a while back? It scared the hell out of people. What is happening to this world?"
All the comments carried a trace of panic!
Strange changes and frequent natural disasters around the world were something everyone felt firsthand!
And the unknown was what terrified people the most!
"But it's true that various countries are focusing on aerospace. I live right next to a launch site, and several large rockets have been erected over there!"

"Many places have been set up as restricted zones, heavily guarded by large military forces, with strict control. I've even seen convoys transporting huge parts there!"
"All countries are working on aerospace? And with such intensity, it couldn't be a whim. Maybe something really did happen, and the news is just being suppressed so we don't know!"
"What if all these countries are preparing to land on the Moon? Interstellar travel isn't realistic, but the Moon is the most likely target!"
Jiangnan's forehead dripped with sweat!
(•́_•̀٥) Damn!
Where did this prophet come from? Kill him, kill him!
But immediately, comments jumped out to refute!
"Landing on the Moon? What's the point of going to the Moon? The Miguo has already been there, right?"
"Maybe it's true. I'm an astrophysicist. Under normal conditions, the Moon orbits Lan Xing but moves away from Earth at a rate of 3.8 centimeters per year!"
"But in the last few months, the Moon's orbit has deviated significantly! It's no longer moving away but approaching Earth at an abnormally fast rate! Haven't you noticed the Moon getting bigger lately?"
"This could be related to the Moon's mass decreasing. Maybe the real cause of these disasters is the Moon?"
Not only did this guy talk, but he also posted a bunch of data below his comment!
The discussion became more and more heated, and even various professional scholars began to join in with analyses and calculations!
Jiangnan's expression gradually turned serious!
People aren't stupid. As the Moon situation worsens, things like this will eventually be exposed, no matter how much they try to suppress it!
Once exposed, it will inevitably cause panic, leading to a series of social problems!
Obviously, the outside world's attention has already focused on the world's strange changes, the aerospace activities of various countries, and the Moon!
They can't hide it much longer!
Before the truth is made public, they must use concrete actions and results to give everyone a dose of reassurance!
Fortunately, the harvest from this Shenyu Lingxu was not small. If nothing goes wrong, the activation of the Star Gate should no longer be a problem!
Just as he was scrolling through comments, the post was suddenly deleted!
The ones who did it were the International Spirit Martial Alliance!
And they also released an announcement!
"Rumors stop with the wise. Please do not believe or spread rumors! In this special time, let us work together hand in hand to get through the difficulties!"
The comments below instantly exploded. This act of deleting the post by the International Spirit Martial Alliance only made people suspect it was a classic case of "protesting too much"!
Jiangnan shook his head and stopped looking. Obviously, the International Spirit Martial Alliance also knew about the Moon!
Then, Jiangnan opened WeChat!
The first thing he saw was a message from Yang Jian!
"Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! The Moon Embrace Plan has been pushed to the implementation stage. The situation on the far side of the Moon is already known at home! Still waiting for the Star Gate!"
"Reply immediately after leaving the Lingxu! Reply quickly!"
Those three "urgent" words were enough to show how anxious Yang Jian was!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. So the Moon news had already come back. This was what he was waiting for!
He quickly replied to the message!
"Already out of the Lingxu. The incantation content is settled! Also got some other good stuff. Returning to the country this evening, heading to the Hai Province Tianchen Bureau headquarters!"
"Have the expert team prepare for the Star Gate restoration work at all times!"
At that moment, it was already noon on the fourth day of the agreed time!
Yang Jian was pacing anxiously back and forth in his office. Suddenly, his phone gave a message notification!
He lunged over in a single stride, saw the message from Jiangnan, clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and his hands trembled with excitement!
He did a front flip onto the office desk!
٩(ʘ̆口ʘ̆)و "Awesome! Awesome!"
The office door opened, and Jiang Tianchen walked in holding a tablet, staring blankly at Yang Jian standing on the desk!
Yang Jian: ٩(ರ_ರ٥)و...
