Chapter 417: Firing the First Shot of Humanity’s Counterattack

Chapter 417 Firing the First Shot of Humanity's Counterattack

The moment Shen Que and the others stepped into the engagement banquet, Jian Suiyu and his group arrived. Everyone converged at the entrance of the banquet hall, all stunned by the scene before them.

Shen Qingci, "...I thought Chu Cixie would succeed, but I never expected the miracle to be so truly unbelievable."

Jian Suiyu, "It's precisely because he witnessed it with his own eyes that he became so obsessed and infatuated."

Everyone stared blankly at the nearly a thousand newborns present, all completely baffled.

What on earth is going on here?!

Wu Yue blinked, "Wasn’t Chu Cixie trying to inject the children with the fox spirit virus? Well, not only will I completely eliminate the fox spirit virus and ensure these children grow up healthy, but I’ll also make them mentally resilient, unbreakable, and safe, so they can become the pillars of the next generation of the Alliance."

Fu Yanqi had never seen so many children in his life—seriously, he didn’t think he’d seen this many in his past or even previous lifetimes!!

Fu Yanqi, "But you just made them be born right now? How were they born? Why do they look so healthy and radiant and nothing like they’ve just given birth? What exactly did you do?!"

Wu Yue, "I accelerated the normal growth rate by 400,000 times, just like a growth boost like in farming, allowing the children to develop rapidly. I continuously channeled divine power into the mothers to maintain a balance of supply and demand, improving both the mothers' and children’s constitutions, granting them the strength to protect themselves and their children. At the moment of birth, I immediately restored their bodies to their optimal condition. It’s all very methodical, using elements that have already appeared. Any issues?"

Fu Yanqi looked exhausted, "Even so, isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?"

Wu Yue smiled bitterly, "I had no choice. The first wave of evil energy instantly shattered my seal. If I didn’t expend all my power, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand it and would’ve ascended on the spot."

Jian Suiyu, "...The limits of science lead to theology, indeed. So, what’s your next move?"

Wu Yue, "Erase and modify this part of their memories, rationalize the children’s conception with scientific explanations, and return them to their families."

With that, Wu Yue began to get to work.

Li Yiran’s gaze swept over his sister, and he couldn’t help to ask, "Will there be any side effects from the children being born so quickly?"

Wu Yue thought for a moment, "They might turn out exceptionally powerful. Best to enroll them in multiple classes to make the most of their potential."

Li Yiran, "..." So, aside from being amazing, there are no other side effects.

Holy shit, that’s amazing!! No wonder Chu Cixie was so obsessed!

Incredible, truly incredible!!

When Shen Que heard that Wu Yue could also erase and modify memories, his scalp crawled.

Then again, even Chu Cixie was capable of deep hypnotic suggestion and memory alteration. Since Wu Yue had become a deity and accomplished something as absurd as making one- or two-month-old fetuses be born immediately, altering memories was no big deal!!

Shen Que lowered his voice, "She doesn’t want the hostages to know about these events, and she won’t want us to know either."

Everyone looked at Shen Que in surprise, simultaneously realizing:

Yeah!! If she can wipe the hostages’ memories, she can wipe ours too!!

Now that the fox spirit virus crisis and the human crisis have been completely resolved, all that’s left is...

Wu Yue looked at Jiang Cheng, "Dad, open the gate to the Order Realm immediately. I need to send all the ghostly spirits and items Mom gave me over to her."

The Central Avenue of Central City is currently filled with opening acts, but the real main event is about to begin.

We need to move fast.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately sprang into action.

He drew a massive blast of malignant energy from his chest and hurled it violently toward the sky.

The military had already removed the atmospheric shield over the entire World City in advance. The blast of malignant energy shot through the sky, reaching another dimension—the Order Realm.

As the gate to the Order Realm opened, countless warships suddenly streaked through the sky above Central City.

These warships flew in various formations like a military parade, each leaving a long red ribbon trail in the air.

At the same time, booming ceremonial cannons erupted, creating a festive atmosphere reminiscent of a national holiday celebration, gradually pushing the Central Avenue performances toward a climax.

Jie Chen, who had not been seen for a long time, wore a brocade Buddhist robe embroidered with gold thread, its hooks made of top-grade jade. With eyes filled with Buddhist compassion, he sat alone at the center of the stage.

He carried no weapons, and his typically fierce countenance now resembled a serene mountain peak.

Tranquil chanting in Sanskrit slowly arose. Though Jie Chen did not open his mouth, everyone present could hear him silently reciting the Heart-Calming Sutra.

The Heart-Calming Sutra calmed the restless hearts of all present, making them feel peaceful and contemplative. At the same time, the crowd was astonished to discover that as the Sanskrit chants spread across the sacred land, countless golden light points gathered toward the golden Buddha statues Jie Chen had built over 15 years.

Fifteen years of austerities, never slackening, never abandoning his devout faith in Buddha.

These golden light points grew increasingly numerous, converging in the sky to form a massive halo.

When people looked up at the sky, they were shocked to find that the skies had transformed dramatically. A huge black vortex appeared above, just like during the terrifying invasion years ago.

"They’re here!! They’ve come again!!"

"I knew it! This is a scam!! It’s all a lie!!"

"There’s no salvation!! Humanity is doomed to perish!!"

"This is no holy monk—he’s a fiend monk!! He summoned these monsters, kill him!!"

Hearts wavered, the crowd surged, and the hard-won calm among the people teetered on the brink of collapse as the gate to the Order Realm slowly opened.

Desert Rose, Blaze, and the Secretariat fought to maintain order, but the frenzied crowd continued to charge forward, escalating the situation.

Watching all this, Lu Li’s eyes darkened. People never change; these people don't deserve saving.

"Wait..."

"That’s... look, it’s children!!"

"How did so many children suddenly appear in the Alliance?!"

Everyone turned in shock. The sudden appearance of children caused an immediate change in expression among all present.

Lu Li turned in surprise and saw that the thousands of hostages who should have been at the engagement banquet were now all gathered on Central Avenue. Not only that, but every one of them was cradling a child!!

Everyone was caught off guard by this unbelievable scene—except for Jie Chen, who remained seated without the slightest movement.

The appearance of the children acted like a jolt of adrenaline to everyone’s hearts. The deeper they'd fallen, the higher they now soared. The once sparse golden light points suddenly surged skyward in a tidal wave.

"Lu Li, everyone has both good and evil in them. If they receive more kindness, they will tend toward goodness. If they encounter more malice, they will naturally commit evil deeds.

As for those forever untamable, ungrateful jackals, they fall outside the scope of human consideration."

Wu Yue's voice suddenly rang in Lu Li's ears, and he finally realized that she was helping him overcome his inner demons.

As the golden sphere in the sky grew larger and larger, the gate to the Dimension of Order slowly began to open.

Everyone looked up at the sky, clearly seeing a dense, tangible black energy—so thick it blotted out the sun and sky—slam violently into the luminous sphere symbolizing humanity's faith,

as if intending to deliver a resounding slap to the opposite side,

smashing forcefully into the passage leading to the Dimension of Order.

Chun Ya received a communication from Wu Yue and immediately signaled Su Mo with her eyes. Su Mo promptly picked up the microphone:

"I'm sure everyone has long suffered from the bi-weekly terror scenarios. In order to further advance the post-apocalyptic restoration and Alliance reconstruction, the Alliance has decided to officially launch the first step in the counterattack against the terror apocalypse:

Using humanity's collective willpower to storm into the Dimension of Order, we will disperse the accumulated vengeful spirits and evil energy that has lingered there for far too long.

Truly starting from the source, we will strike at the terror apocalypse and drive out the ghosts and monsters from the human world!!

So everyone, no matter what faith you hold, as long as we share the same will to survive, we are all contributing to this battle!!"

If humanity wanted hope, then she'd give them hope.

The greater the hope, the stronger the willpower—and the more devastating this blow would be!

As an even larger golden sphere gathered in the sky, Wu Yue forcefully sent it hurling once more into the passage to the Dimension of Order.

While everyone was eagerly looking up at the sky, witnessing the miracle together,

Shen Que could clearly sense that through his mental connection with Wu Yue,

her emotions were fading—so faint that until he could no longer feel any trace of love from Wu Yue.
