Chapter 189 Back to the World 1: Present World
Chao Zhuyi fell into a deep coma for three days. However, during these three short days, a mysterious and bizarre red rain descended on the interstellar world, bringing about earth-shaking changes.
Some people lost their lives inexplicably, as if snatched away by an invisible force;
Some people find that their physical qualities have undergone amazing changes, becoming stronger, more agile, or possessing special abilities;
Some lucky ones even awaken special abilities and become extraordinary beings. However, these people with special abilities are only a minority among the very few.
Among the crowd Chao Zhuyi was in, Casser, Commander Aikoxia, Yin Zui and Xu Guanqi successfully awakened their special powers.
Among them, the supernatural powers possessed by Casser and Yin Zui both belong to the fire series. They can control the blazing flames and demonstrate powerful attack power.
Aikoxia awakened the wood-related ability, which allowed her to give birth to plants and control the power of nature.
Xu Guanqi's special ability is even more unique. He has the ability of mind control and can influence the thoughts and actions of others.
In stark contrast to the human race, this red rain held extraordinary significance for all the beastmen. Not only did it awaken the ancient bloodlines that had been hiding in the darkness and struggling to survive, it also provided a rational explanation for their extraordinary abilities.
For a long time, these ancient bloodlines have been suppressed. Now that they have finally waited for the moment to see the light of day, they can no longer suppress their inner restlessness.
Chao Zhuyi's sudden burst of energy attracted great attention from senior management.
Xiao Minji knew very well that the current situation was different from the past, so he decisively made Chao Zhuyi's true identity as a mermaid public, and revealed an even more shocking news to everyone - the ancient bloodline has officially appeared in the world!
Those who were originally curious and interested in Chao Zhuyi instantly shifted their attention to the ancient bloodline after hearing this news.
After all, compared to Chao Zhuyi personally, the emergence of the ancient bloodline undoubtedly has greater significance and influence.
In the towering, heavily guarded temporary command center, a crucial meeting lasted for three full days. The senior officials in attendance sat solemnly around the enormous conference table, intensely discussing crucial issues concerning the future of humanity.
During this tense debate, Xiao Minji put forward a striking point of view - every effort should be made to peacefully resolve the long-standing conflict between humans and beastmen and achieve harmonious coexistence between the two.
His suggestion was recognized and supported by many senior officials. After all, no one wants to see the endless pain and humanitarian disaster brought by war.
At this moment, the scene shifted to where Chao Zhuyi was. When Chao Zhuyi slowly woke up from her deep sleep, before she could fully wake up, Yin Zui rushed forward like a gust of wind and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Her tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "You're actually an ancient mermaid! You've kept it a secret!"
Upon hearing this, Chao Zhuyi's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with astonishment: "Ah?"
She never imagined that the secret she had hidden for many years would be revealed so easily.
Yin Zui then explained, "The ancient bloodline has already appeared in the world. Commander Xiao probably thought it was meaningless to keep it secret any longer, so he told us your true identity."
Hearing this, Chao Zhuyi's mind began to race, trying to comprehend this sudden change. After a moment, she keenly grasped the key information and asked anxiously, "Has it appeared in the world? How could it be so fast?"
Yin Zui nodded and replied sternly, "Indeed, it's dominating the trending searches on Starnet. Apparently, the Orcs are no longer hiding their true colors; they've launched open attacks. Several relatively weak star regions have already fallen in the past few days."
"Also, almost every one of these beastmen possesses powerful superpowers. In comparison, superpowers are extremely rare among humans."
Chao Zhuyi sat on the bed in a daze.
How could it become like this?
No matter how hard people try, it is hard to believe what is happening before their eyes, but the cruel reality is completely out of control like a wild horse that has run away from its reins.
More and more mysterious and powerful ancient bloodlines are emerging like mushrooms after rain. These beings carrying ancient powers have appeared in a high-profile manner and issued a deafening declaration - revenge!
Faced with such a sudden and severe situation, the commanders of various regions could no longer sit quietly in Area H. They were anxious and hurried back to the star regions they were responsible for to deal with this huge crisis that could sweep the entire galaxy.
The team members followed Xiao Minji closely back to Area C. Yan Chu remained in Area H. However, he was still able to maintain close contact with the entire vast star network, and if any party needed support, he could teleport there in an instant.
Just as the interstellar space was plunged into an unprecedented melee, the star beasts that had long been driven to the edge of the planet took advantage of the situation and joined in this fierce battle.
It seems that they have long been dissatisfied with humans' past behavior, and now they have finally found an opportunity to vent their anger.
In an instant, the entire universe seemed to be shrouded in fear, and everyone felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
As the ancient races looked on, the star beasts and humans engaged in a thrilling life-and-death struggle. These races, endowed with ancient heritage, stood by leisurely and contentedly, as if watching a play.
Especially when they saw the star beasts gaining powerful strength in the blood-red rain, causing humans to gradually fall into a disadvantage, they did not hide their inner joy, and even couldn't help but applaud, completely disregarding the lives of humans.
This time, everyone finally has the time to grow up and become independent. They are no longer the innocent children they once were, gently cared for by the mother zone. Now, everyone needs to bravely face the ferocious and terrifying star beasts, as well as the mysterious ancient bloodlines that can awaken at a whim.
As time went on, the battle intensified, with more and more brave warriors falling in pools of blood. Xiao Minji's mech was already battered, but he seemed tireless, still resolutely leading his men in the fight against the surging horde of star beasts.
On the other side, Xie Yingzhen methodically directed the architects to build a solid safe area against the clock so that more panicked aliens could be properly accommodated there.
Chao Zhuyi was not idle either. She contacted Yan Chu and asked him to urgently upgrade the existing defense system.
Xie Yingzhen reached out to stop Chao Zhuyi who was trying to sneak out and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Chao Zhuyi turned around, looked at Xie Yingzhen with a determined gaze, and answered resolutely, "I'm going to help Xiao Minji! They need me there, and I have a mission that I must complete."
Xie Yingzhen gazed into her determined eyes and instantly understood what she was thinking. He then silently stepped aside to make way for her and said softly, "Okay, you must return safely."
Chao Zhuyi nodded vigorously, then rushed away at lightning speed and disappeared in the vast flames of war in the blink of an eye.
On the battlefield, shouts and roars echoed one after another, interweaving into a thrilling symphony of death. Many battle-hardened soldiers, exhausted from the long and intense fighting, collapsed to the ground.
Only Xiao Minji, who has a special physique and is completely immune to superpowers, is still struggling to support the crumbling front alone.
The man in black appeared again and looked at Yan Hui who was half-kneeling on the ground with some admiration in his eyes. They still admired the strong.
"As expected of you, you're the top commander of Area C. Your combat prowess is truly formidable." He clapped his hands twice. "Heaven still favors you humans. Even in moments of life and death, there will always be strong men who stand up."
"I know you, Xiao Minji, the son of a martyr. The Xiao family is full of loyal and brave people. You are truly admirable."
Yan Hui's energy was too low and he automatically returned to the space hub, leaving Xiao Minji half-kneeling on the ground.
The man in black squatted down and stared at Xiao Minji: "I don't understand your human emotions. Why would someone as powerful as you protect a bunch of losers who are only interested in your own interests?"
