nTime quickly passed by.

nThe 10 nuclear bombs were the hope of the Daxia Kingdom. They could severely injure the huge eye in one go.

nChen Yiming, who had transformed into a 1,000-meter-tall giant, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look in the direction of Mount Everest. His heart was extremely heavy, and he felt inexplicably flustered.

n“Is it a threat from the huge eye?”

nHe could only think so.

nAfter all, in terms of cultivation level, the huge eye was an existence one level higher than him.

nTherefore, it was still unknown how much power the huge eye could unleash if it really went all out. Previously, he and the spiritual figure had not been able to force the huge eye to go all out.

nThe soldiers on guard at the southwest border also had a similar feeling.

nHowever, their situation was worse than Chen Yiming’s. When they turned to look in the direction of Mount Everest, it was as if they were looking at a huge mouth.

nThey were clearly standing rooted to the ground, but an invisible force was acting on their bodies, pulling them into the mouth of the abyss. The hair on their bodies stood on end, and they froze on the spot, unable to move.

nAt a certain moment, a light similar to a small sun erupted.

nIt was accompanied by a piercing scream. The people on the defense line fell to the ground in droves, regardless of their cultivation level.

n“Is this the lethality of the huge eye’s spiritual attack?”

nThe 10 nuclear bombs must have worked. Chen Yiming could feel that the huge eye had suffered another heavy blow from the spiritual scream, and he felt a lingering fear.

nThe first time they met, the two of them were more than 1,000 kilometers apart. It was precisely because of this that he dared to go up and give his opponent a ruthless blow.

nThe second time, the spiritual figure had used its strongest attack. When the huge eye was severely injured, it had nowhere to vent its anger. It did not know that Chen Yiming had secretly used a trick against it.

nThe third time, 10 small objects that looked like inanimate objects to the huge eye suddenly exploded at close range. The main culprits, the fighter jets, flew past from a high altitude.

nChen Yiming perfectly avoided having to confront the huge eye’s attack directly.

nHe muttered, “I wonder if it has reached the level of a fatal blow. The probability is not high, but it’s still possible it we were lucky. However, it doesn’t matter. Its injuries must have worsened. The spiritual figure can give it another surprise after it is revived. This surprise is sure to be beyond the huge eye’s knowledge.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, from the direction of Mount Everest, a terrifying spiritual storm shook the surroundings. Then, it quickly moved north like a storm.

n“This… it’s escaping?”

nChen Yiming was shocked.

nIf the huge eye fled just like that, it was probably really seriously injured. This was because if one did not defend against the nuclear radiation, it would cause mutations at the cellular level.

nThis was the reason why he suggested using the nuclear bombs to deal a third blow to the huge eye instead of letting either of the two martial masters take action.

n“Unfortunately, the spiritual figure is still in the process of being revived,” he sighed.

nThe huge eye’s ability that leaned towards the spiritual attribute was countered by the spiritual figure’s swordsmanship talent. It was not like the 10,000-meter-long corpse that leaned towards the physical attribute, which was difficult to cut through even if it was dead.

nThis was undoubtedly a good opportunity. If the spiritual figure could kill the huge eye, it might be able to level up on the spot.

n…

nAt the military committee’s meeting, the entire room was filled with smoke. Cigarettes were scattered all over the ground, and each person had a lit cigarette between their fingers.

nWorry! Worry! Worry!

nIt was easy to give the order to launch nuclear bombs at the huge eye, but the consequences were unknown. If the effect was not good and it angered the huge eye, could Chen Yiming block it?

nWhat if he could not stop it? Would the huge eye control the Daxia Kingdom like it did with the Ganges Kingdom? Or would it direct its anger at the Daxia Kingdom?

n“How’s the preparation for the underground shelters in the cities?”

n“Don’t worry about that. We have been working on expanding the underground shelters all this time and have never slacked off.”

n“Once the huge eye shows signs of invading the Daxia Kingdom, the order will be issued to every city guardian. We can immediately organize the entire city to enter a state of self-preservation.”

n“That’s good. That’s good.”

nThe 10 nuclear bombs had yet to explode, and the leaders were already considering a way out. This could not be helped. As leaders, they had to consider the overall situation.

nThe plan for the state of self-preservation had been revised several times. It was a plan created by many experts not long after the invasion from the otherworld.

nNow, with the martial masters and nuclear weapons as the standard, once they encountered a disaster that could destroy the country, the Daxia Kingdom would split up and preserve its strength, waiting for an opportunity to reorganize the country.

nThe huge eye was a creature from the otherworld. It was far beyond the standards of the Daxia Kingdom for a disaster that could destroy a country. However, the Daxia Kingdom had also produced a martial arts expert that far exceeded their original standards.

nTo put it bluntly, it was a confrontation between two powerful creatures from two different worlds. The martial master realm could no longer interfere, and in theory, nuclear weapons were completely useless.

nAt this moment, the door was pushed open.

nEveryone jumped and turned to the person who had arrived.

nThe communications officer’s face was red. He was so excited that his lips were twitching as he spoke. “There’s news from the front line that the huge eye has escaped.”

n“What!”

n“Tell us quickly!”

nThe leaders were anxious to know the exact situation.

nThe communications officer continued, “An intelligence officer from the military happened to take a photo of the huge eye escaping to the north. It bled a lot along the way.

nAt the moment, we don’t know how serious the injuries are, but the high-definition photos show that only a small corner is left from the ripple pattern on it.”

nWhen the leaders heard about the situation with the ripple pattern, they could not help but feel delighted.

nIt had been a while since they started studying the fragments of the extraordinary weapons. Humans were still at the level of applying the technology, and could not replicate even a single mysterious symbol.

nHowever, they also knew that the patterns that they could not understand were a manifestation of the black tide creatures’ abilities. Now that the pattern had shattered, it was obvious what it meant.

nTherefore, even though they could not kill the huge eye and it had escaped, at least the Daxia Kingdom would not be threatened by it for the time being. This outcome had already exceeded their expectations.

n…

nTime passed quickly.

nDecember 31st, the last day of the year.

nIn the Daxia Kingdom, which had already experienced an unprecedented drop in temperature, the explosion of the 10 nuclear bombs intensified the change in the climate. The temperature from the south to the north became even lower, and a snowstorm continued to fall.

nAll the cities in the south had no choice but to urgently install heating pipes to ensure that every household could obtain sufficient heating.

nThe cities in the north were not affected much. Firstly, they had a lot of experience dealing with the cold winter. Secondly, the people here were used to the low temperature in winter.

nIn the Chen family house, Chen Yiming was lying on the sofa alone. It was a world of ice and snow outside, and the room was warm.

nSuch a comfortable environment could not help but make one feel lazy. Once they lay down, they would not want to move anymore until it was time to eat.

nOn the television screen, the announcer was wearing a cotton jacket and black pants. She was holding a microphone and speaking to a man in a white military uniform.

n“General Yuan, how are you feeling now that the first flight of the first city-level spaceship has finally arrived?”

n“Thank you, XXX…”

nHe thanked the people involved for nearly 10 minutes. This was a national project, and there were too many people who had important contributions, even if there was only one representative for each aspect.

nAlthough the first city-level spaceship was still sailing in the solar system and did not have the ability to leave the solar system and set off to a new planet,

na spaceship that could carry an entire city was undoubtedly a huge milestone for humanity. It was exciting progress and gave the Daxia Kingdom more confidence that they could complete the space plan.

nTherefore, it was scheduled for its first flight on the last day of the year. It had the meaning of drawing the past to a close and putting together a new hope for the future.

n“According to the current progress, it has exceeded expectations. Perhaps in two years, it will have the ability to leave the solar system and sail through the universe.”

nThe pressure from the arrival of the black tide had greatly stimulated the potential of the researchers participating in the space plan. This was also partly due to the miracle blood.

nEvery once in a while, the researchers involved would receive a tube of miracle blood to nourish their bodies. Therefore, they did not consider their health problems and continued to work hard.

nSince the production of the miracle blood could be scaled up during the initial stages of the space plan, the result was that the progress of the space plan was greatly increased

nChen Yiming’s attention left the television screen.

n“According to the information brought back by the spiritual figure, the increase in the number of mutant creatures in the otherworld is slowing down. It’s predicted that the mutant creatures and the native creatures will enter an all-out war.”

nHe tried to ask the female spirit about it, but she ignored him. He could only rely on his own information to determine the progress of the black tide.

nOne thing was certain. The most efficient way to harvest the negative emotions was definitely not to mutate all the living beings in the world, but to maintain a delicate balance.

nThis balance was such that the mutant creatures had the absolute advantage, so that the remaining native creatures could not see any hope. They were constantly tense and worried that they would die in the next moment.

nFrom the situation in the otherworld, there was a high chance that it would enter the stage of the negative emotions being harvested intensively. Chen Yiming didn’t know how long this would last.

nHalf a year? A year? Two years?

nAccording to the latest progress in the space plan, humans would have a chance to escape to an unknown planet before the black tide arrived if they still had a year.

nIn two years, humans would even have the ability to build a second spaceship and take away more people.

nIf they only had half a year, they would be forced to build on the first city-level spaceship and escape in a hurry with great uncertainty.

nThe clock on the wall ticked on.

nChen Yiming suddenly felt a little frustrated. The most uncomfortable thing was the uncertainty. The space plan had just achieved a major breakthrough, but the otherworld had also entered a new stage.

nHe turned sideways and looked at the sky through the window. Although it was daytime and the moon was hiding in the thick clouds, its true appearance was still reflected in his pupils.

nChen Yiming hadn’t forgotten that after defeating the shadow monster, the other party had used a method similar to sacrificing himself to make the huge shadow mouth launch a terrifying invisible wave attack.

nIf not for the fact that the spiritual figure also had the Undying Body talent and had used a huge sword formation to dodge it, he would definitely not have been able to withstand it head-on.

nHe estimated that the invisible ripple attack from the shadow mouth was a stark contrast to the spiritual storm that erupted from the huge eye before it escaped.
