Chapter 1066: [772] Apocalypse Different World (Requesting monthly passes and subscriptions) Chapter 1066: [772] Apocalypse Different World (Requesting monthly passes and subscriptions) Overnight, the Empire suffered the loss of over a thousand Martial Artists, sending shockwaves across the world.
Through the sky full of ghostly fire, the writhing Demon Vine was like a bloodthirsty demon.
The photos spread rapidly across the entire internet, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
Empire netizens: “This puny Demon Vine, how laughable, just send out our Ah Pu, and poof, extinguished!”
In contrast to the jests of Empire netizens, those from the Summer Country created numerous silly animated videos.
But from an official standpoint,
the appearance of the Demon Vine was somewhat worrisome.
The Cabinet established a special task force for this incident.
But as for what was being investigated, no one knew.
…
As the Empire confirmed that the Demon Vine was spreading at a rate of fifty centimeters per second, worry started to replace the jestering voices online.
Kunad also showed concern.
“This rate may not seem significant, but considering their expansion is radial, 1 second equals 50 centimeters, 10 seconds equal 500 centimeters, 100 seconds equal 5000 centimeters… 1 hour would cover 600 meters, it’s too terrifying, truly too terrifying!”
A group of Tanwood Country ministers glanced at each other, bewildered.
It sounds correct at first hearing, but after a second listen… how about you calculate it again?
But Kunad, being a trusted confidant of the Emperor, garnered the benefit of the doubt from everyone, especially in a time like this when no one wanted to speak out of turn.
Kunad changed the subject and continued, “It’s said that the Technique God Songzi’s inheritance is in Terror Valley, is this true or false?”
“This… at present it’s still uncertain…” they all shook their heads in response.
“Then go confirm it. If it’s true, we must destroy it on the spot, under no circumstances can it be allowed to fall into the wrong hands!”
Although Kunad could be unreliable at times, he was absolutely devoted when it came to the safety of Pei Jinye.
He knew that Pei Jinye could easily crush Technique God Songzi, but he also knew… if such an inheritance were to fall into the hands of Kou Country,
from what he understood of the petty officials in Kou Country’s government, these people would definitely make a comeback, and it would be like planting a time bomb next to oneself.
…
Watching Kunad’s resolute stance, the numerous ministers exchanged knowing looks.
“The Empire has suffered heavy losses and dares not delve deeper, what should we do?”
“Fools!”
Kunad chastised them, as if lamenting their inability to meet expectations: “It’s not about sending you to Terror Valley to die, can’t you steal intelligence? There are so many powerful nations in this world, they are the ones facing the brunt – don’t you know how to pilfer information?”
As he spoke, Kunad began to curse Kou Country anew.
“Even in death, they can’t stay put, I knew these guys were up to no good!”
Kou Country was also perplexed.
Everyone was talking about the Demon Vine in Terror Valley being Technique God Songzi’s contingency plan, but all of Technique God Songzi’s disciples had been cleanly wiped out by Pei Jinye.
So, the people of Kou Country were clueless whether what was being said outside was true.
International netizens were cursing Kou Country, branding them shameless, wanting to drag all human beings into oblivion with them.
“Disgusting, you really are despicable!”
On the surface, Kou Country denied any inheritance claims while covertly dispatching people to Terror Valley.
As the outside world continued to stir,
some believed in the inheritance, while others scoffed at it.
Some thought the Demon Vine was of little consequence, but others feared the coming of the end of days.
Until half a month later,
the countless Demon Vines stopped their spreading.
Just when everyone thought this episode was really over, the true terror threatening all of humanity descended.
Three months later,
Terror Valley became a no-man’s land.
Some conglomerates gathered together, discussing turning it into a tourist zone.
“The world’s first Supernatural Scenic Area…”
Just the name alone was filled with gimmicks.
Compared with that, what were Disney and Ball Ring Cinema City? They couldn’t hold a candle to the words ‘Supernatural’!
“Afraid of death? Who isn’t? But understand the importance of living in the moment!”
Amidst the overwhelming hype and promotion.
Supernatural Happy Valley thus began its construction under the watchful eyes of the world.
However–
Two months later, an event shattered everyone’s confidence.
“Boom–”
In the early hours past one in the morning, as the citizens of the Empire were still asleep, a sound like a mountain collapsing reverberated through the air.
An earthquake?
This was nearly everyone’s first thought as they awoke in shock.
Stretches of land hundreds of kilometers long collapsed, buildings toppled, numerous fires shot up from the collapsed areas, reaching for the sky.
In that moment, the Empire awoke.
The entire world awoke.
It turned out the Demon Vine had not stopped growing; instead, it had moved underground, silently engulfing half of the state.
The whole world was astonished.
The Demon Vine was still alive!
Half of the state destroyed in an instant; the magnitude of destruction was enough to make one fear for the end of the world.
…
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
Military jets from nearby zones took off in a continuous stream.
Countless floodlights bathed the Demon Vine-covered area, turning this pile of ruins stark as daylight.
From that day forth,
the Empire became the center of attention for the whole world.
But this kind of attention, was better off without.
…
“The spread is still continuing!”
“Global vine transformation countdown!”
“Damn it, what on earth did Technique God Song Zi do? Why has it come to this!”
…
Meanwhile,
in Wild Gold Country.
Doctor Zhao answered the phone and, after a moment of silence, said, “There’s still no news about Old Pei, I will continue to arrange for people to search for him… Also regarding the Demon Vine, whether the combat command center in Southeast Asia will be established is still pending a response from Tanwood Country.”
“Will they agree?”
“They will. The Demon Vine’s impact isn’t only on the Empire, given the level of destruction it has shown, it could take over the entire world. Have you received any effective data on your end?”
Doctor Zhao browsed through the data in hand, which were all repetitive casualty reports.
The other party pondered and then said, “Actually yes, our drones flew into the ruins for reconnaissance and unexpectedly discovered many ‘coffins’ wrapped in the vines.”
“Coffins?” Doctor Zhao was stunned. “Is this some peculiar habit of the Demon Vine?”
“More accurately, ‘pupae’. At the moment, we’re unsure what’s inside these pupae, but one thing’s for sure, we have yet to find the root of the Demon Vine… It’s heat-resistant and utterly unafraid of fire attacks, with a growth rate that has surpassed our understanding of this type of plant.”
Doctor Zhao was moved.
He had heard about the Empire’s burning of the Demon Vine and had thought it might be an exaggerated rumor, but it turned out to be true.
“What does the Cabinet plan to do?” he asked.
“The Global Combat Command Center is being established, all the powerful nations are uniting for action, it’s a common crisis that human beings need to face together.”
Doctor Zhao found it odd, “The Empire agreed to this so easily?”
“Initially, they did not consent, but now the death toll on their side has surpassed two hundred thousand, you should know what this means!”
“What?”

This time, Doctor Zhao was truly shocked.
He did not realize the situation had escalated to this extent.
Two hundred thousand… it was not a matter of one or two lives.
After hanging up the phone,
Doctor Zhao immediately made a decision.
“Contact Tanwood Country, I need to see Pitan!”
