54: Skylight

The entire Frontline Base was divided into countless zones.

Each zone served as a temporary camp for a faction.

The hatch opened, and the gangway descended. Chu Tianyi walked at the forefront, disembarking from the starship.

Qin Jin and the other two followed behind.

In this temporary camp, people were already waiting—Federal staff, a man and a woman. Seeing Chu Tianyi emerge, the man quickly greeted him, “Mr. Chu.”

Chu Tianyi nodded, his gaze sweeping towards the giant screen in the distance.

“According to the Federation’s prediction, how much longer until the Apocalypse Plan is implemented?”

“3-5 hours.”

The staff member’s expression was serious: “After this time, the Star God will retract its diffused power in preparation for its final [Breaking Out of the Shell]. At that time, the defensive power within this Star God Forbidden Zone will weaken, and the diffused power will automatically generate, weakening the energy construct protecting the Star God. This is also the beginning of the Chosen Plan.”

“Martial Artists participating in the Chosen Plan, who hail from the Mining Star and practice the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique, can use this opportunity to approach the Star God.”

“Did you all hear that?”

Chu Tianyi turned to look at Qin Jin and the other two: “Adjust your state and wait quietly.”

Inside the temporary camp, a resting area was set up.

On the way to the resting area, Qin Jin’s gaze swept towards the other camps.

The Star God Chosen had attracted numerous factions to participate.

A glance revealed that in the other temporary camps, young faces were even sparring.

Without a doubt…

They were all their competitors for this journey.

Turning his head, after exchanging glances with Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia, Qin Jin entered a room in the resting area, closing his eyes slightly, his chest rising and falling.

The Breathing Method circulated.

His mind was calm, and just like his usual routine, he entered a state of cultivation.

…

Time passed.

The number of factions arriving at the temporary camp rapidly increased until, at a certain moment, no other starships arrived from above the sky.

If viewed from a high altitude, thousands of camps were already situated.

If not for the restriction of the [ticket], it would have been even more chaotic.

The giant screen within the base displayed the situation of the Thunder God Tree in real-time.

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

An invisible atmosphere of solemnity began to permeate the Frontline Base.

Approximately three and a half hours later.

The residents of the Mining Star’s Five Major Survival Zones suddenly discovered that outside the protective light curtain, the persistent thunderclouds and the constantly raging lightning began to dissipate at this moment!

Like melting ice and snow, the lightning dissipated, the thunderclouds disintegrated, and the dim sky began to brighten at this moment, initially in one spot, then spreading globally in a short while!

At this time, if one were to view it from the starry sea, they would see that as the accumulated thunder cleared, this planet gradually began to reveal its true form!

The final moment of the Star God’s gestation had begun.

…

New Sheep District First Middle School.

School had already started.

On the playground, Wen Jinglun was earnestly teaching a class of students.

At present.

After this awe-inspiring scene occurred, countless exclamations rang out on campus. In the teaching building, an unknown number of students poked their heads out to gaze at this celestial change.

Wen Jinglun looked up at the sky.

The bright sky made the knife scar on his face appear even dimmer.

“What happened to this planet?”

His expression changed repeatedly, but he finally shouted, “First, focus on class.”

But at this moment, the young people’s hearts had long since flown to the sky, and how could a mere shout call them back?

Wen Jinglun simply shook his head and no longer bothered.

Various types of situations frequently appeared within the Five Major Survival Zones.

Some even attempted to step out of the protective light curtain and onto the wilderness to confirm the situation.

The sky had been gloomy for too long, so much so that many had forgotten its true color.

…

At the same time.

Within the Frontline Base, a broadcast sounded.

As this broadcast began, the competing teams started to advance towards the entrance of this Star God Forbidden Zone!

Inside the resting room.

Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes shone brightly. With a slight thought, his professional panel appeared.

His gaze focused on the Martial Artist profession.

[Life Index: 62.7]

[Spirit Index: 66.2]

These two indexes are comprehensive evaluations of the Martial Artist’s two related evolutionary directions. As the indexes continuously increase, the gap in each point of the index also widens.

To possess such values in such a short time is the result of talent, resources, and diligence all playing a role simultaneously!

Day after day of cultivation, he had never slacked off.

The panel disappeared, and Qin Jin slightly clenched his fist.

Perhaps due to the proximity to the Star God, the life energy was extremely active, surging and powerful within his physique.

Qin Jin, dressed in a black and gold combat suit, pushed the door open and stepped out.

Outside.

Daylight fell.

Qin Jin looked up at the sky.

The accumulated thunderclouds, which had not dispersed for years, had now vanished. For the first time since his birth, Qin Jin saw the sky of the Mining Star.

It was azure blue.

Very beautiful.

His gaze fell forward.

Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia were also ready, both holding weapons and carrying special backpacks.

Inside the backpacks were various emergency supplies, as well as portable food, etc…

The thunderclouds on the Mining Star had dissipated, but as the birthplace of the Star God, the situation within this final forbidden zone remained the same, even more complex. Its area could be described as vast, requiring ample preparation.

Qin Jin’s gaze turned to the other end.

There, Chu Tianyi held a cup, containing either tea or wine, and lightly raised it towards him.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Jin’s voice rang out.

He walked in front, with Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia following closely behind, their expressions serious.

…

The Star God Forbidden Zone had multiple entrances.

The sky on the Mining Star was bright, but the dissipated lightning seemed to have all converged in the forbidden zone. From the outside, there was a terrifying sense of oppression, like dark clouds pressing down on a city.

At this moment, all entrances opened simultaneously.

Like schools of fish entering the sea, each team maintained vigilance and entered the Star God Forbidden Zone!

Upon entering the forbidden zone, the flow of people immediately dispersed.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on one of the teams.

That team was all wearing cloaks with hoods, their faces obscured, and a religious emblem embroidered on their chests. After entering the forbidden zone, they moved extremely fast, heading in one direction.

Behind them.

Quite a few teams followed them.

“It’s the Corona Sect.”

Yu Sheng said, “Those who followed them are probably going for the Twilight Society’s reward.”

“Jing Ge, should we follow them?”

He asked.

Qin Jin shook his head, his gaze slightly narrowed.

“Would a faction of the Corona Sect’s caliber be completely unaware of other factions targeting them?”

“If they knew, why would they not conceal it at all?”

“And where is the Twilight Society’s team?”

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Jin said, “Never mind them, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Qin Jin and the other two quickly left.

In this vast forbidden zone, the teams that entered completely dispersed.

Advancing for only half an hour, Qin Jin’s steps halted.
