319: The third spiritual revival, global evolution...

Wuhou District Walled City.

As soon as Su Qinglian handed the storage bracelet Yang Dian gave her to her Uncle Professor Shen Fei, a biology professor at Sichuan University, Professor Shen Congnan, who was observing a blood sample in his lab, felt a strange yet familiar sensation rise in his heart.

It was strange because she had only experienced this feeling once, and last time, before she could truly savor it, the sensation ended.

It was familiar because even though she had only experienced it a single, limited time, she could never forget the exhilaration of her strength inexplicably rising and the sudden sublimation of her life's essence.

She looked up and met Professor Shen Congnan's gaze.

Clearly, Professor Shen Congnan had the same feeling.

"Has the second dimensional overlap invasion begun?"

As soon as she spoke, Professor Shen Congnan began to shake his head:

"Incorrect."

"Many of the newly proposed dimensional overlap theories have been successfully verified by the Space Research Institute."

"If a second dimensional overlap invasion phenomenon were to occur, the Space Research Institute would definitely issue a warning in advance."

At this point, Professor Shen Congnan pondered for a moment before saying:

"The first global evolution occurred when we observed the existence of Spiritual Qi, triggering a quantum effect."

"The second global evolution occurred when Earth invaded other dimensional worlds, drawing from the Origin of those other dimensional worlds."

"Besides these two, we also proposed a third hypothesis that could lead to global evolution."

Su Qinglian thought hard for a while, and finally realized something:

"Professor, are you saying that after the dimensional overlap invasion phenomenon ends, Earth completely devours a portion of the Alien Planet's dimensional space, greatly enhancing its essence while also nourishing all life on the planet?"

...America, California, San Diego, a military base surrounding a spacetime node.

Just as Yang Dian shattered the star core with a single punch, ripples appeared in the spacetime node in San Diego.

Before the American soldiers guarding it could react, the space instantly converged.

The dark spacetime node disappeared.

In its place were several City-Level Awakened from America, who had been repelled from the Alien Planet's space and inexplicably returned to the military base, as well as a few Orcs who had fallen out of the Los Angeles dimensional rift and joined America.

Among them, an Orc with a pig's head and covered in blue-green bodily fluids was reaching forward.

It was unclear what it had discovered on the Alien Planet, but its ferocious, tusked pig face was filled with an intoxicated expression.

But as the spacetime node disappeared and space converged, the 'divine object' vanished from its sight.

The pig-man, who had grabbed at empty air, was startled at first. Then, seeing the modern base around it and the spacetime node that had disappeared from the center of the base, it immediately turned red-eyed and let out a "ho-ho" panting sound.

After two deep breaths, it still couldn't suppress the anger in its heart. It opened its tusked maw and let out an angry "ao" roar, then grabbed a Black American soldier beside it. As the soldier looked on in despair, it shoved a handful of small blue pills into his mouth, then dragged the soldier towards a small room.

Robert Morgan listened to the grunting sounds coming from the small room, glanced at the vanished spacetime node, and couldn't help but walk into an observation room with a dark expression, suppressing the violence in his heart as he looked at a white-haired researcher:

"Why were we teleported back to Earth, and why did the spacetime node leading to the Alien Planet disappear?"

Andrew pushed up the spectacles on his nose:

"It's not just this spacetime node in front of us."

"We just received news that the spacetime node in Montana controlled by that Apache Indian; the spacetime node in Westchester County, New York, controlled by Rockefeller; the spacetime node in Canada controlled by the Mellon Consortium; and that spacetime node in the Japanese-Brazilian community controlled by the DuPont Consortium..."

"Just like the spacetime nodes that simultaneously disappeared in the Eurasian continent last time."

"Just now, all remaining spacetime nodes on Earth disappeared at the same time."

Robert took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said:

"Are you saying it's China's doing again?"

"What did they do on the Alien Planet that affected our spacetime nodes here?"

Andrew shook his head:

"Not necessarily."

"Our people dispatched to China did not find any abnormal activity around the spacetime node located in China."

"You know, the last time there was an anomaly, countless Alien Planet creatures attacked China's spacetime node from the Alien Planet."

"Their shipments of Alien Planet creatures exceeded a million."

Robert exhaled, then asked:

"So it's not China?"

Andrew shook his head again:

"Not necessarily."

Robert stood up in anger:

"Then tell me, what is certain?"

Andrew looked at the angry Robert and said unhurriedly:

"Until the results are confirmed, nothing is certain, and any outcome is possible."

"However, in my opinion, the most likely scenario is this:"

He opened his computer and projected several images onto the wall.

Those photos were clearly of Yang Dian descending from the sky on a Flying Sword, standing outside the Walled City gates in Wuhou District.

"A few days ago, we noticed China's strongest, Yang Dian, appear outside the Wuhou District Walled City. He hasn't reappeared since entering."

"It is rumored that the spacetime nodes that disappeared in the Eurasian continent last time were related to him."

"This time, the disappearance of our spacetime nodes is probably also related to him."

As he spoke, Andrew opened his palm, and a wisp of black mist appeared in his hand:

"Also, I sense that my strength is increasing, inexplicably increasing."

"This situation only happened once during the dimensional folding invasion."

"But this time, there is no dimensional folding phenomenon occurring."

"So it can only be another possibility."

"Earth has completely devoured the Alien Planet, and there's a global Ascension."

"Bang!"

Robert slammed the table:

"I don't want to know about any global Ascension."

"I just want to know where our spacetime nodes went!"

Andrew closed his open palm and gave his answer:

"There's a 90% chance that, like last time, Yang Dian did something to help Earth devour the Alien Planet."

"According to the principle of 'greater impact, greater gain,' China obtained the Alien Planet, and we lost our right to allocate the Alien Planet."

Robert gritted his teeth:

"What about the remaining 10% possibility?"

"I don't know." Andrew shook his head, "The remaining 10% are redundant factors, representing any other possibility."

Robert took two deep breaths, calmed himself, and then said:

"How is the plan to win over Yang Dian progressing?"

Andrew still shook his head:

"The progress is very difficult."

"He rarely appears in public, and our people can't even get close to him."

"Previously, we tried to send people to approach his family, but the people we sent were detained as soon as they landed, before even clearing customs."

"We also tried to send people to smuggle in, but China's geostationary satellites have increased, and their border defenses are becoming stricter. As soon as our people smuggled into China's border, laser beams would fall from the sky to eliminate the smugglers."

The now calm Robert pondered for a moment, then finally said:

"Can we officially invite him to America?"

At this point, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes:

"Invite him over under the guise of clearing out those Orcs."

Andrew looked at Robert in surprise:

"You want to deal with him?"

"According to intelligence, he controls the power of space, and it's extremely powerful spatial power."

"Besides that, he is also an extremely powerful Martial Artist."

"Theoretically, he is already at the top of the food chain on Earth. Whether it's technology or personal combat strength, with Earth's current combat system, it's very difficult to harm him."

Robert scoffed:

"Am I stupid? Why would I want to deal with him?"

"Inviting him over is precisely to clear out those damned Orcs."

At this point, he stood up again:

"Also, arrange for a few Hollywood actresses to learn China's..."

He paused again at this point, then, with a foreign accent, pronounced two Chinese words:

"Have them learn China's 'foot massage'."

"Since he likes 'foot massage' so much, then we'll satisfy him..."
