Global Collapse-Chapter 531 - 500: Five Hundred Chapters! Five Hundred - s! _1
Gu Mian knew that the Law Code in front of him was just a copy, and even if he used the [Supernatural Editor Simulator] to depict a pile of shit on it, it might not have much effect.
At the moment, they didn’t have the opportunity to search for the original, so Gu Mian came up with a lousy idea.
Chu Changge watched Gu Mian muse over the white-covered book in his hand for a second before pulling out the [Supernatural Editor Simulator] from his pocket.
He held the book with his left hand and moved his right hand, holding the pen, towards the cover.
The director outside the door glared in anger, wishing he could shatter the door blocking his view.
And the cameraman finally got the hint, moving his camera from Gu Mian’s face to the white-covered book in his hand.
The audience watched as Gu Mian brought the dirty pen close to the Law Code and then forcefully made a mark on it.
To everyone’s surprise, Gu Mian was able to use the pen.
All of them seethed with rage. Their dearly revered Law Code had been defiled by an impure man. Worse still, it was this violator. Violators belonged to the lowest caste in the Old World. People would feel disgusted if such individuals even initiated contact with them.
Fatty understood the feelings of the people from the Old World.
It was as if a slave, lower than dirt in feudal society, had spat a thick loogie right onto the emperor’s face.
While most people were still seething over this metaphorical spit, a few felt as if something had shifted.
A sense of unreality gripped their consciousness momentarily before vanishing.
Those who noticed the strangeness looked around and felt that something was subtly different from a moment ago.
Most people remained engrossed in their anger and failed to notice the anomaly.
However, as Gu Mian drew more lines with his pen, everyone sensed that something was off.
They felt as if the world was undergoing some change, yet they struggled to put it into words.
Every stroke Gu Mian made was laborious, as if the pen weighed a thousand pounds, and he had to use all his strength to leave a mark on the Law Code.
He continued to write with slow determination under everyone’s gaze. Only when he finished the last stroke could others see what he had written on the slightly tilted Law Code.
Behind the words "Law Code" on the cover, Gu Mian had added two words—"Original Edition."
The function of the [Supernatural Editor Simulator] is to alter reality within its capabilities, like fixing a broken watch or repairing a shattered window.
But if someone were to directly write the word "explosion" on the Earth’s surface, the user might suffer an immediate backlash and explode themselves.
In contrast, Gu Mian had merely added the words "Original Edition" to the Law Code, which was much less difficult compared to detonating the Earth.
The people outside the door were puzzled by Gu Mian’s actions, uncertain as to why he would write those two words on the Law Code.
As the crowd looked on in confusion, Gu Mian put the [Supernatural Editor Simulator] back into his pocket and picked up the Law Code with both hands.
He opened the Law Code from the middle so that the thickness on both sides was roughly equal.
Then, gripping the top of the Law Code with both hands, he held it up vertically, exposing the contents to the camera and the door.
Gu Mian knew that even with the [Supernatural Editor Simulator], he couldn’t completely convert the copy into an original. However, as long as it had some connection with the original, that was enough.
He addressed the camera in a sonorous voice, "Today is definitely a day worth recording in history. You can perhaps title this day as a ’Milestone of the Old World.’ Of course, I sincerely hope that every year and every day will be as momentous as today..."
While everyone was wondering why he said those words, Gu Mian exerted a little force on both ends of the Law Code.
RRRRIP—
Everyone clearly heard that sound.
The director, the audience, and even those who weren’t watching the show heard it too.
The sound seemed to drill into their ears from all directions, as if... the world itself was being torn apart.
Instinctively, someone looked up at the sky.
It was morning, and the weather was good.
The sun had risen above the mountains in the east and was dazzlingly bright. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
It was as if a raging fire was sweeping across the east, transforming the horizon into a sea of fire. The mottled clouds interwoven in the blazing flames created a magnificent sight.
This scene was indeed awe-inspiring—if not for the damned fissure in the middle.
A nearly imperceptible fissure ran down the middle of the sun, seemingly intending to split it in two.
What was more terrifying was that the fissure was endless. Starting from the east, it stretched vertically across the sky, passing over everyone’s heads, much like the contrail left by an airplane.
Yet this was far from over. After passing over everyone’s heads, the fissure continued towards the west before disappearing into the horizon.
People saw the fissure in the sky splitting the heavens in two.
As Gu Mian applied more force, an even more grating tearing sound echoed from the Law Code in his hands.
To their horror, people discovered the rift in the sky had expanded! It was as if someone was tearing the sky apart. Small fragments—shards of the sky—began to fall from the pitch-black opening.
Fatty stared blankly at the torn sky outside the window, a single thought consuming his mind: It’s all over. It seems we’ve really gone too far this time.
As Gu Mian increased the force, the rift in the sky grew even bigger, eventually turning into a vast chasm.
Beyond the chasm, it was pitch black; no one knew what lay there.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
Small fissures began to spread around the chasm, and tiny shards rained down from the sky.
The sky was not as distant as they had imagined; pieces of it were already fluttering in front of them, falling onto the ground and their shoulders.
They picked up fallen pieces of the sky from their bodies—they were ashes.
Almost in an instant, the entire sky began to fracture. The azure sky peeled off in patches, revealing its true face beneath. The entire Human World seemed to be engulfed in a snowstorm of falling ash, as swirling ashes swept across the globe.
After the sky shattered, other things began to collapse as well.
A fine crumbling sound came from overhead. Gu Mian looked up at the ceiling to see that it was riddled with cracks and was falling apart piece by piece.
The world was turning to ash, and everyone was wailing in agony.
Gu Mian listened to the wails. The billowing dust increasingly obscured his vision, and the sound of the earth tearing apart echoed in his ears.
Crumbling, wailing, despair—this was the true state of the Old World at this moment.
Amidst the deafening rumbles, he looked out the window. Everything outside was a white blur; he couldn’t see a thing.
Gradually, the cries subsided, and the endless ash seemed to be blown away by some unseen force.
Gu Mian saw the ashes before him dispersing, and what lay behind the dispersed ashes was an enormous face.
So ugly.
Gu Mian stared at Xiao Hong’s face, which was almost pressing against his own.
He was back.
And Xiao Hong, like a dog ecstatic to see its master return, excitedly pressed its face close to Gu Mian’s, just short of sticking out its tongue to lick him.
