Chapter 705: Eternal Day
"Hiss..."
"What's that sound?"
The Reincarnator team captain, his face etched with utter mental fatigue, seemed to hear a hissing sound.
"A snake?"
He instinctively felt something was amiss.
"No, that's not right."
"It sounds like some kind of gas is leaking."
"Click."
From beside him, came the sound of a finger pressing down on a lighter.
And then, the next second.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom...!"
"Use the Vajra Talisman!!!"
A wild explosion engulfed everyone, and the captain, his spirit utterly shattered, only managed, before being blown away, to cry out these four words, his voice bleeding.
In a cruel twist of fate, they had lit an open flame in a natural gas field that was leaking everywhere.
To their dying breath, the group couldn't comprehend why there was such a malevolent natural gas field, directly hidden on the surface.
The energy unleashed by this chain explosion was almost comparable to the two rounds of nuclear carpet bombing by the Holy Progenitors just moments ago.
A massive fire, stretching for several kilometers, ignited in less than a minute.
...
In a world that had fallen silent, such a massive fluctuation suddenly erupted, naturally grabbing everyone's attention in an instant.
Bai Mo gazed thoughtfully at the blazing inferno, as if he had realized something, yet always feeling like something was just out of reach.
...
"We... didn't die?"
When the members of the blown-away Reincarnator team finally came to their senses, they found that they were still fully intact, limbs and all!
"The Main God gave you ten lives," a vampire-like Reincarnator beside them explained.
Although this vampire was hardly a good person on an ordinary day, it was currently team alliance mode where all Reincarnators were allies, with a pact supervised by the Main God in place. He could only obediently let them go, instead of rummaging through their corpses to profit off the dead.
"A vampire!"
"?"
The Reincarnators, disoriented from the fall, had no idea what was going on.
"Look at the bottom right corner of your interface," he instructed. "A new value has appeared in our attribute bars. You should all be at 9 now, meaning you've been killed once.
This is an unprecedented super-mission, so the Main God has given each of us ten full-health resurrection opportunities. Cherish them well."
"..."
"You scared me to death," one exclaimed. "I almost thought I'd just die like that."
"I'm still a virgin... it would have been too unjust to die like that."
"You still dare to speak?! You damn bastard were the one smoking just now!!!"
"So it was you!"
"..."
The vampire-like Reincarnator no longer bothered with the clamoring fools and disappeared into the shadows alone.
He had rushed to the scene at terrifying speed, initially hoping to scavenge some spoils, but ended up only finding these few clowns. He could only return in disappointment.
As for the Holy Progenitor military base, their target, the vampire comrade stated he absolutely would not arrive early. Having poured almost all his stat points into speed and agility, a direct assault on an army where everyone possessed nuclear-level power would be pure suicide.
After a period of intense construction, the Holy Progenitors' military base on Water Blue Star had expanded to nearly the size of two cities, with over a million soldiers stationed there.
At the very center of the base was the Holy Progenitor Beacon, capable of serving as a cross-dimensional teleportation device.
From the other end of the beacon, a continuous stream of white power arrived, transforming into the most tenacious resistance force within the amber-colored world.
...
"The Main God has bound itself to this planet. Water Blue Star is, in a way, sharing the burden of your attacks for it. But what about that natural gas field?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it was born from one of my sword strokes." Bai Mo, in a rare moment, curled his lips into a smile uglier than a cry.
"He's actually smiling!!!!!!!!" Even more shocking to Xu Xuanling than the Main God's bizarre maneuvers was that she actually saw Bai Mo's smile!
Having known him for decades, she vaguely knew that Bai Mo, for some reason, possessed an extremely cold temperament. She never expected to see an expression on his face today.
There was no mistake. Xu Xuanling could read it in his eyes: it was the excitement of completing a magnificent achievement!
"Something's wrong. Even if he had deciphered the secret of the Main God's protective barrier, there was no reason to be this happy."
"What is that monster thinking?" Wu Ming, inside the Main God Temple's core, was also quite startled by Bai Mo's mysterious smile.
Although he didn't know that Bai Mo rarely showed expressions before, the smile at this moment sent chills down his spine.
...
"The game has officially begun."
A beam of white light shot up from Bai Mo, and at a distance of about two hundred thousand kilometers from Water Blue Star, a void silently appeared. It then rapidly expanded, growing in the blink of an eye to a size visible even from the ground.
"What in the world is that?"
"It looks like... a hand?"
The Reincarnators on the ground looked up at the sky in unison.
The next moment, a gigantic, ethereal hand, whose palm alone was large enough to envelop the entire planet, reached out from the void and suddenly grasped at Water Blue Star!
"It's dark now."
"And then it's light again."
"The sun is gone."
"Global eternal day."
The colossal hand, blotting out the sky, instantly turned Water Blue Star's day into night. But then, immediately, the boundless white light emanating from its palm became the planet's new light source.
Unlike the original sun, which shone from a single direction, dividing light from darkness, the gigantic hand's light covered all three hundred and sixty degrees, leaving no blind spots.
Water Blue Star, as a whole, was instantly plunged into eternal day.
Wu Ming's eyes widened. His abnormal pupils, comparable to a space telescope, fixated intently on that ultimate hand attempting to encircle the planet trapped within the amber-colored world.
"He wants to crush the entire world, like crushing a walnut?
Impossible. The world's power of defense can never be broken through by brute force alone!"
The white ethereal giant hand held this "amber" in its palm.
"Thud." After witnessing a true miracle, even the most well-traveled Reincarnators mostly began to doubt their very existence, assuming a posture of crestfallen genuflection.
The colossal hand was like a new atmosphere, firmly "locking" Water Blue Star in its center, becoming an outer layer of "protection" beyond the amber layer.
Under the drastically altered gravitational pull, the earth trembled because of this giant hand, and the ocean's tidal cycles were completely altered.
...
"I've figured out the principle of 'the world'," Bai Mo's voice, like a devil's whisper, appeared directly within the Main God Temple.
"Main God! Immediately cut off his voice!!!"
Although protected by the Main God Temple's core, it was extremely difficult for Wu Ming to be mentally affected by the "devil's whisper". However, the other Reincarnators still within the Main God Hall did not possess such comprehensive protection.
It wouldn't be surprising if a single sentence could tempt out some inner demons.
