I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 663 - 148: Panic, the Pinnacle Council, and the Outbreak of Twin Calamities

Crash!

In the distance, the endless blue seawater surged back into the wasteland battlefield.

The turbulent waves were covering the feet of Xin Xichen and the others.

"The seawater that was evaporated has risen back again."

Dao Yueniang said, "Your Majesty, we should leave now. However, the sea level of the entire East Sea might have dropped by a few centimeters. A large amount of seawater evaporated and rose into the nursery... Our Capital City might face a small flood."

"Just take flood prevention measures." Xin Xichen looked at the huge, mysterious cocoon in the distance and said meaningfully:

"I have to remind you, the existing technology... may no longer be able to completely seal it."

"What do you mean?" a gentle female voice came from the Holy White Dragon.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough?"

Xin Xichen said, "It seems we have multiple seals, but if he wants to come out... he could come out at any time."

"So, this apocalypse isn't over at all?" someone suddenly spoke.

"That's for sure." Xin Xichen, with hands behind his back, said indifferently, "Haven't you noticed that Xian... has already released the first-generation Ghost Disaster virus?"

He reached out and grabbed.

With a crash, a ghost from the seabed thousands of kilometers away shot through the sky and landed in his hand.

This ghost was obviously a rather common ordinary fish Ember.

But now it had been stitched together with several fins, a jumble of fish scales, and even had two heads.

Like a deformed fish product of nuclear waste.

"What is this?"

"The disaster has already erupted."

"It's the first-generation Ember virus, spreading in all directions."

The expression of the powerhouses changed.

The current Ember virus, lurking within living organisms, has become much weaker.

This diluted ancient "immortality virus" only has a very low probability of resurrecting you after death.

Mortality, lethality, and evolutionary capability have significantly decreased.

Only the Dragon Race still retains the evolutionary ability of the Embers.

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor frowned, "Is the first-generation Ember virus unstable? What's the mortality infection rate?"

"The mortality infection rate has reached a staggering 50%."

Xin Xichen coldly revealed a terrifying piece of news, "In other words, after death, there's a 50% chance of turning into a ghost. Isn't that interesting?"

Embers Disaster!

Everyone's expressions changed.

The natural occurrence rate of ghosts used to be one in ten thousand.

In a city of millions or billions, this ratio was just manageable.

Every day, hundreds of ghosts were born, and the law enforcement agencies in the city were able to manage and handle these demons and ghosts.

But what does 50% mean now?

The butcher on the street slaughters a pig, and there's a 50% chance of it becoming a ghost, attacking people.

In a restaurant, eating sashimi, and the fish might leap up to attack you!

Stepping on an insect by the roadside might turn it into a ghost, biting you back!

Most bizarrely, these first-generation Ember viruses carry an "unstable attribute", capable of devouring and stitching together other creatures' limbs, turning into a stitched monstrosity.

"The world is about to change."

"No, it should be said a new era is coming!"

Xin Xichen sneered, "With both disasters upon us, the only thing we can be thankful for is that the unconscious Ancestor remains sealed, making these Ghost Disasters... leaderless, like headless flies."

The two great disasters have indeed arrived.

At this moment, the high-ranking cultivators across the Nine-State and the Four Seas began discussing the impact and terrifying consequences of this. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Pseudo-human possession was already disgusting.

You kill a creature, and it can still burst out Embers?

For example, if I kill an equally matched enemy powerhouse, after finally killing them, exhausted, I suddenly find that his body has risen as an Ember.

This Ember continues to roar "I'm not dead", "You're the one who's dead", "I want to continue fighting you", how grim would your face be?

Then, you can only continue to struggle for survival and fight him again.

The worst result is that you're also killed, and your body rises as an Ember, also shouting "I'm not dead", "I want to continue fighting you".

The Embers on both sides continue to battle.

Life and death intertwined, this is hell-level Ember humor of the new era.

And is the probability low?

Not at all!

It's almost foreseeable as a norm!

Outside the city walls, it will become more terrifying.

Walking into the wilderness, seeing pairs of Ember cultivators fighting desperately in the logic of their past lives.

Even as they fight, due to structural instability, two Embers might merge together.

"Look on the bright side."

The Sword Fairy couldn't help but say, "Everyone, in the future, ancestral tomb appearance rate is 50%, add some things that increase Ember probability, and it's almost 100%, quite worth celebrating."

"Although when you find the Ember of your deceased ancestor, he might have merged with the old ancestor of your rival force."

"Then, you might argue with the enemy force about who this merged ancestor belongs to. Whose family grave should he be brought back to."

"Then both sides, to argue, engage in a life-and-death duel, and when they die in battle, both families' dead keep merging into this ancestor, becoming intimately linked."

"Achieving a super big reunion of two rival families!"

The Sword Fairy's cold joke left everyone in silence.

Just thinking about it inexplicably gives one goosebumps, this scene is already within the realm of a horror movie.

But the most absurd thing is, this situation is likely to happen.

"Pseudo-human Calamity, Embers Disaster... everyone, contemplate it well."

Xin Xichen spoke lightly, "Just like the Sword Fairy said, I think it might not be a bad thing... The appearance of the ancestral virus is the era of great biological evolution."

"Anyway, we've sealed Xian, so the disaster won't explode to the point of losing control..."

"Besides, this Xian, I have already repeatedly researched based on its structure and crafted several targeted sealing immortal artifacts, completely restraining its fatal weaknesses, 100% targeting it, perfect sealing, there's no need to worry."

"Next, it can be taken by the Dragon Race, led back to your ancestral tomb, and sealed again, considered returning to its rightful owner."

Xin Xichen freely took out seven or eight upper-grade immortal artifacts he crafted during the conversation and gifted them to the Dragon Race to reinforce the seal.

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor smirked coldly, "There's no need for that, it's quite good to keep it on your Human Race side."

Damn human race scholar-like emperor, knowing nothing but problem-solving all day, has solved it again and handed over a perfect score?

Who would believe it!

I've heard some kids studying in the Human Race, for the sake of face, would add a 0 to a 10-point test paper, turning it into a perfect score of 100 points.

He severely doubts Xin Xichen is that kind of person.

Anyway, he doesn't believe it; the Human Race is deceitful and dirty, especially their scholars who speak of righteousness and integrity while secretly being immoral.

"Let it be in your Capital City, along with the Chronicles of Time, that's best." The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor said coldly.

"There's no need to move it back to the Capital City."

Seeing the Dragon Race refuse, Xin Xichen thought for a moment, looked around, "Then, does anyone wish to undertake this great responsibility of protecting the world?"

The Four Great Divine Beasts remained silent.

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor said lightly, "Your Human Race Emperor, who restrains Xian so much, even becomes a small version of Xian himself, naturally you should personally seal it, that's most appropriate."

"We've already suppressed the Chronicles of Time, we're spread thin." Xin Xichen said, "Then let's leave it in place and proceed with sealing."

"I agree."

"We agree too."

...

Everyone knows this seal might have problems.

As long as Xian wishes, it could re-emerge at any time.

Though theoretically, Xian is a cyclic logic, won't behave erratically, won't exit... but who can be sure?

Who knows, maybe it wants to read books again?

Despite the seal completely isolating external information, everyone feels that a strange information brainwave seems to be emerging here.

It's a unique wave frequency from the Earth Vein brain, gathering some weird creatures, inexplicable Embers, converging here.

Probably won't take ten days.

This will become the most terrifying ancient tomb forbidden area in the Nine-State.

Sacrificial Tomb!

This unprecedented largest new tomb will soon be born here.

By then, numerous cultivators in the Two-Phase Realm and other powerhouses will explore this tomb tentatively.

Everyone is aware now.

Xian, is a significant mountain weighing down on the hearts of all Nine-State powerhouses, constantly threatening world annihilation.

They must accelerate the Immortal Path's initiation, resist the dual disasters, and swiftly resolve Xian.

After one last round of discussion, they each withdrew.

...

Back to the Capital City.

Xin Xichen lovingly held a flame full of intricate densely packed golden characters, within which a small "Xian" floats.

This was the treasure he obtained from the first burning of Xian.

"With this, I can delve deeper into researching this ancient source!"

In this battle, he was arguably the one who gained the most.

Burning Xian and retreating unscathed.

However, Dao Yueniang didn't lend much assistance.

For two reasons:

1. Being a ghost, greatly restrained, not daring to approach Xian, could only attack from a super long distance.

2. Too weak.

In a hundred years, Xin Xichen could research out his own powerful Divine Techniques.

But in a hundred years, Dao Yueniang, having cultivated from a mortal to now, although it forcibly grew, barely reached the Self-Transformation Realm threshold.

Yet her strength with Seven Colors Spiritual Root couldn't unleash even one-tenth.

After all, a hundred years old...

Except for those with high enlightenment capabilities like Ning Zheng, which genius can complete their depth?

She is like the former Ning Zheng, with Blank Attribute, only capable of basic attacks.

This is still with Xin Xichen, helping her to open up corresponding divine power techniques and carefully teaching her.

But because she's a Pseudo-Ghost King, very rigid, her learning ability is a bit low...

Xin Xichen pondered, "Her learning ability is poor, given several thousand years, she might catch up to normal standards... but still needs a way to transform her from an artificial Pseudo-Ghost King into a real Ghost King."

Only then would her potential increase.

With the continuous progress in the future Immortal Path era, various immortal artifacts, immortal pills, immortal farmers, and immortal doctors... continually emerging, there must be ways to complete the Pseudo-Ghost King's foundation.

"That Nine-headed Dragon Emperor probably thinks similarly." he mused.
