Chapter 32 The Earth Advisory Council

Page 1/3

The strange beings from movies actually materializing in reality—it was enough to make one's scalp tingle with fear. Even viewers in the livestream, separated by a screen, felt a deep, instinctive dread. In fact, it was precisely because of the screen that the terror intensified; after all, Sadako crawling out of the television was infamous.

Soon, netizens realized that bizarre phenomena weren’t confined to the island nation—the anomalies began appearing worldwide. In Egypt, mummies emerged; by the riverbanks of Korea, sea monsters surfaced; and in America, ghosts shrieked incessantly.

[Dreams of Sensing Qi Realm: "Boss, danger!!!"]
[Call Me Empress: "Silence, the ones in danger are those monsters!"]
[Dreams of Sensing Qi Realm: "What do you know? In the later stages of cultivation, sure, one can fly and escape, but early on, you have to lay low. Do you really think you're invincible?"]
[Call Me Empress: "That's true for weaklings, but my husband is absolutely invincible!"]

The gathering of dark clouds across the globe came swiftly, and dissipated just as fast.

Standing on the balcony, Chen Chusheng and the five-member Return-to-Earth team gazed at the newly restored blue sky.

Liu Yinyun’s communicator buzzed—it was a message from the higher-ups on the spaceship, reporting the appearance of anomalies in various countries and advising her to remind Chen Chusheng to be extra cautious.

Upon hearing Liu Yinyun’s relay, Chen Chusheng sighed softly. “What the hell is this? Earth’s on the brink of extinction, and now these things are popping up. What’s the point...”

A sudden twitch in his eye brought to mind a crucial realization.

Could the worldwide outbreak of anomalies be his own doing?

It all began when he was digging for spirit stones on the mountain and inadvertently broke the seal of pictographic script within the stones. He spent an entire night analyzing and deciphering these characters, then repeatedly experimented to rearrange and apply them onto the spirit stones.

For reasons unknown, it seemed only he could perceive the pictographic script. Whether it was the script originally embedded in the spirit stones, or the ones he wrote using cinnabar, the former was invisible from the start, the latter gradually faded after being inscribed—a peculiar phenomenon. Perhaps it was related to his system...

His deduction: the pictographic script not only sealed the spirit stones, but also suppressed the birth of anomalies worldwide. By deciphering the script, he effectively broke the seal, unleashing the spirit stone script and releasing global anomalies.

So, in the end, the clown was himself.

Well then.

In immortal cultivation novels, monsters and ghosts roam the world. Now that he’s cultivating immortality, why shouldn’t Earth experience a resurgence of anomalies?

Chen Chusheng looked out over the sea, contemplating his plan. The most pressing issue wasn't the solar helium flash nor the supernatural resurgence, but rather...

He had to prioritize eliminating this hidden danger!

He turned and walked into the living room.

He sat on the sofa.

The team members, sensing something, lined up in a row.

Chen Chusheng, pleased by their alertness, nodded slightly. “According to the information from Captain Liu, strange phenomena are appearing in various countries around the globe. Some are characters from movies or comics, others from famous novels, and even fierce creatures from mythology. What are your thoughts?”

Wu Fei was visibly unsettled; he was an expert in environmental survival, not supernatural survival. Encountering one of these could easily spell disaster. The weapons provided by the higher-ups, although Chen Chusheng had scavenged them all from the sea ship, could only be carried in limited varieties.

He raised his hand.

Chen Chusheng nodded, “Go ahead.”

Wu Fei spoke, “Anomalies are descending, and their origins are novels, films, even legends—places of fantasy. Our weapons are both laser and live ammunition, but without knowing if they’re effective, frankly, our situation is dangerous...”

Chen Chusheng smiled faintly. “Makes sense. So, what’s your suggestion?”

Wu Fei hesitated. “Actually, it’s simple—find a weak anomaly and experiment on it. But it’s very hard to assess the strength of these creatures; even approaching them is risky.”

Liu Yinyun interjected, “You’re forgetting we have two trump cards!”

Mr. Chen is a cultivator. According to the data, the powers and spells of cultivators are highly effective against anomalies. The other trump card is our nation's think tank, established when we just returned to Earth, called the Earth Think Tank. They analyze our situation and dangers, and proactively send intelligence or solutions!”

This think tank from their homeland seemed reliable.

Chen Chusheng mused that the Earth Think Tank’s presence would alleviate some of his troubles.

Liu Yinyun glanced at her communicator. “The advice from above is: don’t act rashly for now. The Earth Think Tank is monitoring and prioritizing the anomalies in Egret City. Based on their observed abilities, they will classify them by level…”

Chen Chusheng stood up. “That’s wise.”

In the face of unknown dangers, quietly developing was the best strategy.

He composed a five-character pictographic sealing spell, barricading all doors and windows in the house. The sealing spell was simple, but sufficient for emergencies and warnings…

The house was piled high with samples of spirit stones collected by the team throughout Egret City over the past few days.

There were at least ten tons—more than enough for cultivation.

Chen Chusheng seated himself cross-legged. “Let’s cultivate first and strengthen our abilities!”

As he spoke, he handed Liu Yinyun handwritten copies of the improved “Water Technique” and “Fire Technique.” “Basic introductions to spellcraft. If you get tired of cultivation, take a look at these…”

Spells!

The team members’ eyes widened with awe.

The goal of cultivation—what was it for? To protect Earth? Well, certainly. But everyone also had smaller ambitions: immortality, flight, manipulating wind, fire, lightning at will.

Chen Chusheng’s earlier version of “Water Technique” wasn’t unfamiliar to the team.

But that was before they arrived on Earth. Back then, everyone was stuck in the half-baked Qi Sensing stage, struggling with the “Qi Refining Manual,” hardly daring to aim high and study “Water Technique”...
