The air seemed to stop circulating as Zhang Tian spoke.
Zhang Qilin shook his head.
"Not yet."
No discernible emotion showed in Zhang Qilin's eyes.
Zhang Tian also worried about Zhang Qilin.
This guy, after centuries, had never even had a girlfriend, let alone a wife.
Zhang Tian even suspected if Zhang Qilin's orientation was abnormal.
However, Zhang Tian knew in his heart that Zhang Qilin was more of a man than anyone, just that he didn't like to talk.
"Fate is something that cannot be spoken of lightly. Forget it, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, changing the topic.
After all, Zhang Qilin belonged to countless female readers, and Zhang Tian didn't want to casually arrange a marriage for him.
"You say, with these celestial phenomena, will the future be unfathomable?"
"I've divined several times recently, but I can no longer fathom the rules of heaven and earth."
"In other words, divination will become increasingly difficult in the future."
Zhang Tian murmured.
Zhang Qilin raised an eyebrow.
Being unable to divine was indeed a first.
However, Zhang Qilin wasn't too concerned. Even if he couldn't divine, there was still Shirley Yang.
He wouldn't be lost about the future.
"What comes, comes. Let's go back first."
With that, Zhang Qilin's figure flashed and he entered a small room.
Zhang Tian smacked his forehead. This fellow, after finding companionship, wasn't as mopey as before.
He then looked towards the Taoist priest Yimei in the distance.
This guy was playing chess with his father.
It was worth mentioning that since Zhang Tian had his parents cultivate, in the span of decades, his father and mother had also reached the Inner Core stage. However, advancing further was basically impossible.
Their talents had reached their limit.
Nevertheless, the elder couple was still very happy, content to have lived so many more years.
Taoist priest Yimei had gone to the underworld decades ago. It was worth noting that the underworld did not take him.
Instead, they gave Taoist priest Yimei and Single Crane Taoist the position of ferrymen.
They were responsible for guiding lost souls from the mortal realm.
Both Yimei and Danhe were very happy about this.
After all, being able to linger in the mortal world and live with Zhang Tian was a rather pleasant thing.
Zhang Tian returned to his own room, his divine sense slowly extending outwards.
At this time, the world's structure was also quietly changing.
Outside.
The internet, reality, and among the people, everything was in an uproar.
Since the internet was restored, coupled with the official announcements, the entire Xia Kingdom erupted.
【Official Announcement!】
【Due to the global spiritual energy recovery, our Xia Kingdom has also conducted targeted research.】
【We will continue to adhere to a people-centered approach, focus on the development of Xia Kingdom's collective interests, and establish official academies. Those who enter will be taught a cultivation technique.】
【To counter unknown dangers, our Xia Kingdom will also organize research into new types of weapons to protect the safety of our citizens.】
With the release of this announcement, the entire Xia Kingdom was in an uproar.
They had never witnessed such a scene before.
Wasn't the official release of such an announcement shattering the original world order?
Before, everyone believed in atheism.
But now, it was directly announced. Who could accept this?
Furthermore, to suddenly declare that spiritual energy had recovered, it left those who were already at a loss even more bewildered.
On the internet.
【What the hell is spiritual energy recovery?】
【It's over, the officials have released an announcement, doesn't this mean disaster is coming? Will there be ghosts?】
【If there's a resurgence of terror, is it okay for me to have a system?】
【I think I must be the chosen one. Where's my golden finger?】
【The officials are releasing cultivation techniques, is it really that good? Can we fly through the sky and burrow through the earth?】
【Good heavens, to counter unknown dangers, why do I have a bad premonition?】
For a time, the entire internet became even more chaotic.
Suddenly, a piece of news caught the attention of countless people.
The news boldly declared:
【Shocking! Celestial Phenomenon! Mount Fuji Country and the United States sink! Pacific Fleet annihilated!】
【Countries are organizing to eliminate remnants of the US military. May there be world peace!】
【Major News! Natural Disaster! Is it retribution, or the work of Zhang Tian? Mount Fuji Country sinks, the United States sinks!】
【Notification: Due to the sinking of Mount Fuji Country, the resulting tsunami may hit the southern coastal areas. Residents in coastal areas are advised to evacuate to higher ground.】
In an instant, countless messages flooded the internet that had just come back online.
The deluge of news, like raindrops, left countless people breathless.
【Are they crazy? Mount Fuji Country and the United States sank? Today?】
【In one day, two superpowers sank? Is this real? It's as if they vanished into thin air.】
【Hey, did you guys watch Zhang Tian's flashback? In the flashback, Zhang Tian set up arrays and ultimately weakened the arrays of Mount Fuji Country and the United States, leading to their instant disappearance today. Is it related?】
【This... is impossible, right? That's instantly wiping out two countries. How is that possible? Does Zhang Tian possess such heaven-defying power?】
【This... I think it's possible. He probably used the previous storm to do it.】
For a time, the internet was abuzz with excitement due to the sinking of the two countries.
More people still couldn't believe that Zhang Tian had the ability to make two countries disappear in an instant.
If he had such power, it would be too terrifying.
It could be said that if Zhang Tian possessed that ability, he could easily dictate a country's voice.
No! It would be to rule.
Of course, this was assuming no nuclear explosions. If the whole world launched nuclear missiles at each other, Zhang Tian would have to hide.
Amidst countless discussions, madness, shock, and even fear, Xia Kingdom also implemented emergency preventative measures. They unanimously agreed that the most crucial task now was to gradually explore the contours of the new world.
Zhang Tian paid no heed to this.
Zhang Tian's sect was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Time gradually passed.
One month later.
With the completion of Xia Kingdom's academies, many people began to use the body-tempering techniques provided by Zhang Tian.
Of course, this was the lowest-tier technique, but it was already very potent for ordinary people.
At this moment, in a villa, Chen Xi watched the news reports and the awakening of many prodigies. A sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.
She was a prominent figure in the research field, yet at this juncture, she felt somewhat redundant.
"If only I had such cultivation techniques. I heard our research institute is also developing techniques, but because of my previous actions, I can't cultivate."
Chen Xi murmured, feeling a bit dejected.
Zhang Tian had previously stated that those who had slandered him would not be able to cultivate.
And thus, Chen Xi would not receive the cultivation techniques that Zhang Tian had given to Xia Kingdom.
Chen Xi felt a pang of sadness.
Just then, her phone rang.
In the past month, many people had begun to adapt to their current lives, and the internet had gained new forms of entertainment.
As the phone rang, Chen Xi hastily answered it.
"Hello?"
Chen Xi spoke lazily.
"Sister Chen, it's not good! I've been having dreams every day for the past week! And it feels like there's a power contained within me!"
Suddenly, a voice on the other end of the line sounded as if it were about to cry.
The voice was filled with urgency and worry.
"Xiao Fei, don't worry, I'll be right there."
Chen Xi's heart sank, and she quickly got up.
Xiao Fei was her childhood friend, someone she grew up with, practically sharing the same pants. Chen Xi didn't want to see anything happen to Xiao Fei.
(Censored...)
