Qin Chuan didn't kill him even though his cultivation was destroyed. However, the Li Wang City Lord's Mansion had already reached its end, and Qin Chuan couldn't possibly take over the entire Li family.
This wouldn't be in accordance with the laws of nature or the principles of Heaven.
Everyone's environment and family background, enjoying all the good things, also have corresponding consequences; this is cause and effect. One cannot only enjoy without taking risks.
So sometimes, even those who seem to have unlimited glory and stand at the top might fall into hell overnight, suffering a fate worse than death. And those around them who have powerful backers will also be buried with them or suffer endless torment.
Ordinary people may seem to lead ordinary lives, but they don't take many risks. The more they gain, the more they lose; the more they enjoy, the more crises they face, after all, many people are eyeing their position.
The other party agreed with Qin Chuan on a three-month deadline, saying it would definitely happen within three months.
So Qin Chuan decided to wait three months. Of course, waiting three months wasn't a bad thing, but soon Qin Chuan realized that he had been somewhat tricked.
Or rather, not tricked, because for some reason, the news had leaked out, or perhaps others knew, but anyway, the commotion was huge, and many people knew that this world was about to end.
This is a world beyond just a city, a country, or a small world. For many, there's no way to know what to do; time and circumstances don't allow them to leave. They
simply can't escape—it's too vast
. No matter what they try, they can't get out of this world, leaving them only with panic and helplessness. Ordinary people, or those with insufficient cultivation, react naturally because they lack access to information at this level. Besides, if you told an ordinary person that the world was doomed, they'd think you were crazy.
After all, that scene is unimaginable, unthinkable, and even if it happened, they wouldn't think it was just a problem for themselves or their area.
Currently, the top echelons are in turmoil; many have already fled, trying to escape this world within the time limit.
This is the safest method. Many have let go of their hatred; nothing else matters except survival.
Survival in this catastrophe.
Qin Chuan and his junior sister left Li Wang City. The junior sister's inner turmoil was resolved, though the ending was bad; it was something she had to face, a way to give herself closure.
A week later, the Human Lord found Qin Chuan. His expression was relaxed, but a trace of worry was still visible.
Qin Chuan's mind raced. He sensed the other person probably knew what was going on with this catastrophe, and he was eager to know, as it was the first time he'd witnessed something like this.
The three of them found a restaurant and sat down. The restaurant was doing brisk business; many people were choosing to indulge in a life of pleasure and extravagance.
The restaurant was also doing exceptionally well. Doing business now was very lucrative. What if the catastrophe didn't happen? Life would still go on, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune? If they were lucky enough to survive, they could become wealthy.
"Brother, let's leave here. I have a teleportation device that can help us leave, but there's a limit to the number of people we can save," Renjun said directly.
Qin Chuan smiled. This older brother was still very kind. Even though he had helped and saved him before, it was already rare for him to remember him now.
"Brother, I want to know what exactly is going on this time?" Qin Chuan asked.
The ruler hesitated slightly, looking at Qin Chuan and saying, "Do you really need to know? Knowing this won't do you any good."
Qin Chuan nodded, "I want to know!"
The ruler sighed slightly and nodded, saying, "It's a meteorite."
"A meteorite? A natural disaster?" Qin Chuan asked in surprise. He had initially thought it was man-made, like poison, but now he heard it was a natural disaster.
Such a natural disaster was truly beyond human resistance.
"It's not a natural disaster; it's man-made," the ruler said.
Qin Chuan was stunned. A meteorite, man-made?
"A meteorite, man-made?" Qin Chuan looked at the ruler as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing.
"Yes, they are a group of people who cultivate the path of slaughter. One of them is a demonic sage who calculated that a small star would pass by here in three months, and they wanted to shoot it down," the ruler said.
Qin Chuan was incredibly shocked. A small star, however small, is still a star. Although Qin Chuan had always known that martial arts cultivation to a certain level could shoot down stars, even destroy them.
But it was just talk; now it's becoming a reality.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not impossible. Riding powerful flying mounts, according to the Demon Sage's calculated location, how to fight…
Qin Chuan found it all a bit unbelievable. What kind of strength did these people possess?
"Isn't it unbelievable?" the Human Lord chuckled.
Qin Chuan nodded.
"Sometimes what seems difficult, unimaginable, is actually just a matter of thinking. The Demon Sage has this ability; they can calculate and predict. Everything has its rules, and the Demon Sage can find these rules, which are also fatal flaws. Therefore, the difficulty is countless times less than we imagine."
"Because they found that point, it became easy to do. It's like a person; you can cut off their limbs and arms, and they can still live, but a long needle piercing their brain can be instantly fatal."
Qin Chuan understood this, as he had always followed this path.
Nodding, "Since it's man-made, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's just a matter of timing; otherwise, it wouldn't succeed. Do you think we can stop it?" Qin Chuan asked.
This is a great act of merit, but Qin Chuan wasn't actually doing it for the sake of great merit; he simply didn't want this world to be destroyed, nor did he want to see so many lives lost. As if knowing Qin Chuan's thoughts, the Human Lord smiled and said
, "The Heavenly Sect, the Earthly Sect, and the Human Sect will all go to stop it, along with others. It's our responsibility, but brother, you shouldn't go. You should leave!" The Human Lord said earnestly. "Brother, I know what you want to say. Listen to me first. This water is murky, and stopping it will be extremely difficult, practically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. You're still young; you don't need to wade into this water." Qin Chuan shook his head. "Since we've encountered this, I should do my part. You should know my abilities, brother. My presence can greatly enhance everyone's combat power, and it might even be an opportunity. After all, we only need to hold out for that short time." The Human Lord hesitated. What Qin Chuan said made sense, but he really wanted Qin Chuan to leave, not wanting him to wade in, as it was too dangerous. "Alright, it's settled then." Qin Chuan made the decision directly.
