Chapter 72: It has come

Translated and Edited by: La0o9

“Report? Report what?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

“Please enter the Spaceship, we will talk on the S.W. Divine Temple” Impartial Goddess answered.

As Gu Qing Shan entered the ship, it quickly flew up and entered the atmosphere.

Still in the same large, dark Square without any people, a large screen appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“Begin report of current Top-secret situation”

“According to satellite images, the West Wind Archipelago Republic has disappeared”

Together with Impartial Goddess’s voice, a scene was shown on screen.

A series of small islands famous for being the perfect vacation spot ———the West Wind Archipelago, has completely disappeared.

There’s only an endless ocean, not a single island where they’re supposed to be.

There wasn’t a single breeze of wind on the surface of the ocean. You can feel the timid pressure, even from across the screen.

The area was originally consisted of over dozens of smaller islands, yet there’s nothing on the screen right now.

“After 167 deep-sea diver robots were deployed, 166 were damaged, only one survived, streaming images at the bottom of the sea now”

Then the scene onscreen changed, showing the deep darkness of the ocean floor.

Under the water, you can only barely see specks of light moving.

They were the light from the 166 other diver robots also searching the area.

Suddenly ———–

A large tentacle that fills the whole screen appeared.

The tentacle appeared on screen without a sound, gliding forward, showing that the tentacle’s owner was moving in a certain direction.

That scene continued for another 4 minutes straight, until the end was seen and left the screen.

Just looking at that tentacle you can imagine just how giant the owner must be.

Then after that, another tentacle appeared.

The tentacle moved closer and closer, right until it hit the screen.

The screen became dark.

“The final diver robot has been damage”

“Unknown entity surfacing”

“Surveillance satellites activated”

The scene onscreen changed again, as it showed images looking directly down at the ocean surface from the sky.

A huge mountain of flesh resurfaced.

From size alone, this mountain of flesh is at least as big as a large city.

Tens of thousands of tentacles stretched from it, just the overwhelming number of tentacles moving at the same time could make you shiver.

Impartial Goddess’ voice was heard once again.

“Conclusion: A new oceanic species, danger estimate: Highly Dangerous”

“Method: Dispatch newest exploration type robots to continue to gather information on the new species”

“Newest exploration type robots will require use of life structure algorithm core technologies, seeking authorization from Gu Qing Shan”

So that’s why she brought me here, Gu Qing Shan nodded: “I authorize”

“Authorization received, beginning construction of newest exploration type robots”

“The above has been the newest Top-secret situation report, report complete”

“Seeing Gu Qing Shan’s personal scientific contribution and knowledge, requesting corresponding advice”

Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation: “Technological weapons won’t be effective; I recommend using Professionists”

Impartial Goddess said: “Please give your reasoning”

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, but then didn’t know what to say.

What would he say? That he’s returned from the future?

That the previous life’s humanity has tried all their technological weapons and still couldn’t defeat the monster?

During the past life, after many struggles and investigation, humanity finally found out that the only four great powers would be effective as damage: Martial, God’s Chosen, 5-Elemental, Heaven’s Descended.

Of course, spirit energy being the base that can drive all four of these powers would also be effective.

But this world’s humans still don’t know about spirit energy yet, and definitely don’t know how to use spirit energy to drive the 4 powers and boost their strength.

In the past life, after knowing the truth, technology slowly became supportive, making place for cultivation to become the world’s mainstream of power.

It was then that technology made a turn towards a new field.

But before Gu Qing Shan could think of a way to explain himself, Impartial Goddess had already made her judgement.

“As Gu Qing Shan’s main expertise is in Mech technology research, his extent of knowledge regarding oceanic species has yet to be confirmed, advise rejected”

Gu Qing Shan just let go and sighed.

In fact, he actually doesn’t fully trust Impartial Goddess yet.

In the past life, even to the very end, the secrets of the world are still as deep as the ocean itself, not even the people at the top dare to say that they already know everything.

Even if Gu Qing Shan returned from the future, he knows fully well he’s not a Messiah, and definitely not a god that can save everyone.

If he thinks that he’ll be unrivalled just because he knows a few things beforehand, then he’s not that far away from death.

Not to mention, the history of the cultivation world itself has already changed completely.

Suddenly, an orange-red light filled the whole Interstellar Fortress.

“Danger! Hostile situation escalated!”

The screen once again showed the scene below.

From the satellite images, they saw numerous bottomless cracks opened up on the mountain of flesh.

And then it opened its big mouth.

O—— OOOORRRGGGG——

A dull, soul-rending screech echoed across the whole ocean area.

20 or so Armored Battleships blew up in flames, even the two newest Aircraft Carriers couldn’t help but caught on fire.

All the fighter jets and assault Mech that have taken off are moving about strangely, unable to control themselves.

“A Sound-type? That’s going to be hard” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

He indeed has seen hundreds of thousands types of monsters, but he’s not a Holo-Brain, there’s quite a few things that he hasn’t seen in person, let alone remember.

The only strange thing is, Gu Qing Shan remembered very clearly that the first every monster to appear wasn’t a mountain of flesh like this one.

He knows all the weaknesses of that other monster, but this one, he has never seen before.

From the look of it, Reality’s history has changed as well.

The screen shut down, then quickly turned on again.

“Preparing to request the President for war authorization”

1 minute later.

“The Confederate officially enters all-out war mode, Interstellar Fortress No.1, No.6, No.11 operation team prepare to sortie”

“Contacting Presidential Office, operation start”

As soon as he heard that, Gu Qing Shan’s personal Holo-Brain also lit up.

Gu Qing Shan answered the call, and swiftly talked with the President.

The President said he was sorry but he won’t be able to make it to today’s lunch with him ——-this is natural, as the whole Confederate has entered a warring state, the President of course wouldn’t have time to go home for lunch.

Gu Qing Shan answered that he fully understands.

“President Authorization received”

Right then, the battle situation on the screen changed.

“All three armies battle deployment in countdown”

The Confederate’s full strength is deployed.

In this life, the first signs of the Apocalypse appeared too quickly, and too strongly, there must be something wrong.

From memory, it should have been another 3 months that the first oceanic disturbances slowly appeared.

As the essence of Huang Quan covered the world, the first place to be mutated was the ocean.

Very quickly, the entire ocean itself will become a no-man’s land.

It was only after the ocean mutate did humans started to be affected by the essence of Huang Quan, resulting in mass mutation and the following catastrophes.

It wasn’t until after a series of horrifying catastrophes that humanity finally started to regain control of the situation and temporarily saw the light of day again.

It was also then that the game came to them.

But the very first catastrophe appeared 3 months early, just why is that?

But no matter the reason, both the world itself and humanity’s civilization as a whole will start to change their direction.

Gu Qing Shan was now afraid of one thing in particular.

During the past life, all the catastrophes happened one by one, this life, he can only hope that they won’t happen all at once!

Thinking about that possibility, Gu Qing Shan could only sigh heavily.

Personal strength, in the face of world-ending catastrophe really doesn’t mean a single thing.

Just like the destroyed Shen Wu world, even with dozens of Sainted realm martial artists, they still couldn’t escape their fate of destruction.

In the past life, both cultivation world and Reality were the same, moving step by step towards their ends.

Ever since his return, he can only take every chance he gets, every second he has in order to be stronger.

When the game comes, hopefully he’ll be strong enough to at least have the right to be heard in the cultivation world.

That way, he can at least cover for those that he cares about, to lessen his worries.

And then.

Do everything he can to reach Sainted realm!

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tight.

Shifu had said that Sainted realm is only a beginning, he has to stand at the very top, become stronger than his past self, stronger than everyone else.

Until a day where he will no longer have anything or anyone to fear.

Right now, on the screen, war has begun.
