Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 577 - 75: War Resumes, One Year Later, Method of Escape (16,000 Da Zhang)

Chapter 577: Chapter 75: War Resumes, One Year Later, Method of Escape (16,000 Da Zhang)

The earth boiled, earth fire surged to the heavens, thunderclouds rampaged, and heavenly fire descended.

Outside of Yang City, it was a hellish sight.

In the domain of Yang City, different levels of upheaval also appeared.

At the very moment when the Ten Suns appeared in the sky, high-level warships from Yang City were deployed.

Since even fifth-rank could hardly survive this disaster, the Military Realm banned officials below fourth-rank from leaving the city to rescue people.

But the officials below fourth-rank were not idle; besides maintaining stability within Yang City, numerous fifth and sixth-rank Ministers of Agriculture were at the edge of the city’s territory, trying to expand Yang City’s safe zone.

Zhao Xing also joined in this effort. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

At this time, his Qi Fortune level was still fluctuating, but it only jumped between the third and fifth rank of Tian Yan, never dropping below the third rank again.

Outside of the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, chaos erupted.

The entire Datong Prefecture was alarmed, because the location corresponding to the Ten Suns Cave Heaven was Five Disks Mountain in Datong Prefecture.

At this time, at the base outside the Pocket World Gate in Five Disks Mountain, the people on the warships were all deeply shocked.

The lake at the entrance had completely boiled up, shrinking to a tenth of its size in an instant.

The surrounding ground cracked, and a blazing aura surged from the lake’s surface.

It even affected the celestial phenomena of Five Disks Mountain in Datong Prefecture.

However, the abnormal celestial phenomena were quickly suppressed.

At the same time, the news of Ten Suns in the sky spread rapidly.

"What? Is it a mistake, did Ten Suns really appear in there? Weren’t we told that there would be no more Ten Suns since the Pocket World was upgraded?"

"It’s absolutely true, the Military Realm has already issued a warning: even fifth-rank officials should not leave Yang City! Because there’s a high likelihood of death! The barrier of warships below seventh-rank can’t withstand the burning of the Ten Suns!"

"Damn it, I just bought a spot!"

"Quick, get a refund for the spot!"

"It’s over, my son just went in..."

"Waaah, father, brother..."

Some were crying in shock and grief, others were relieved and thankful.

"Phew, luckily my spot didn’t work out, I must thank that magistrate who refused to pull strings for me..."

"I just spent five million to buy a spot, haven’t even had the chance to go in... well, it’s a small price to pay for avoiding disaster."

"Just fifteen minutes, if I had been fifteen minutes later, I would have gone in. Heaven truly favored me!"

"..."

...

On August 15, Liu Tianning returned to Yang City, and Zhao Xing let out a long sigh of relief.

On August 20, the rescue warships began to return one after another.

At the same time, the Military Realm announced that outside of Yang City, no one was left alive.

The rescue operation had ended, leaving only the stabilizing efforts at the edges of Yang City to continue.

Zhao Xing stood at the border of Yang City, looking up at the sky. Although it was still Ten Suns in the sky, the tenth sun had gradually dimmed.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and entered his dreams.

"Compared to the previous life, the power of this Ten Suns event was much smaller."

"In the previous life, the rescue teams returned in just three days, as there was hardly anything to save. This time, it took seven days."

"In the previous life, it started at the end of August, and the Ten Suns event continued until mid-September. Now, it’s not even September, and the tenth sun has already dimmed. I expect that by early September, it will weaken to Nine Suns."

"Although the overall situation hasn’t changed, the unseen impact is drastic." Zhao Xing thought.

He was certain that this time, the Ten Suns event had not claimed as many lives as in the previous life.

Because the reduced power gave the Military Realm a longer window for rescue! Plus, Liu Tianning’s early warning accelerated the reaction speed significantly.

It allowed most people near Yang City to retreat in time.

Secondly, the timing.

The Ten Suns event on August 13, compared to late August, created a time gap of over ten days, which meant that far fewer people had entered the Ten Suns Cave Heaven.

"Lastly, the change in accountability." Zhao Xing mused.

"In the previous life, Xuantian Sect’s actions likely went unnoticed and were interpreted as a natural disaster!"

"Although some officials still faced consequences, a natural disaster is considered an unstoppable force, and the officials of the Ten Suns Cave Heaven responded promptly, so the impact was limited."

"But now, since it’s caused by human actions, the nature of the liability is different, and many people will likely suffer because of it."

"However, Liu Tianning deserves credit; the Creation Plate of the Military Realm will certainly review the results and, removing Liu Tianning’s intervention, will see that the outcomes would have been completely different."

"Lao Liu returned on the 15th and his Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship saved 3,700 people!"

"The fates of many were changed, and this change must be attributed to Liu Tianning."

"Lao Liu’s credit is my credit, my goal has been achieved."

The benefit for Zhao Xing in doing this was tied to Liu Tianning.

Since Liu Tianning was his backer, a stronger backer equated to him becoming stronger as well.

Liu Tianning’s gratitude would elevate Zhao Xing’s status as his disciple.

Especially for families with high-grade powerhouses, they would be restless if they didn’t repay this favor.

More importantly, Zhao Xing was not directly involved in the matter; any inquiries from the Military Realm, or attention from the Southern Barbarians and sects, would focus on Liu Tianning and Luo Hou King.

"Small risks with huge invisible benefits." Zhao Xing opened his eyes. "Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the handling results."

...

On the evening of August 20, when the rescue operation ended,

King Heavenly Destiny received the report from the Fate Officers’ review.

"The natural disaster of Ten Suns Cave Heaven was certain to occur, but Xuantian Sect’s demons triggered it early."

"If not for Liu Tianning’s warning and Luo Hou King disrupting the setup, the casualties would have been ten times greater."

An elderly man with white hair reported to King Heavenly Destiny.
