Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 660 634: Prelude (Part 2)

The cars were stuck in traffic for three hours continuously, until evening when Chen Shouyi's family finally entered the spatial passage.

A large open space had been cleared inside, filled with densely packed tents, resembling a massive refugee camp, noisy and bustling.

"Mom, Dad, are you getting used to the gravity in the alternate world?" Chen Shouyi looked at his parents.

"It's alright, it was a bit stuffy at first, but now it's much better," Chen Dawei said.

"I'm fine too," Mrs. Chen said.

Both parents' physical fitness had reached the level of a Martial Artist, and they quickly adapted to the three times gravity here after walking a few steps.

The officials nearby didn't dare to interrupt, and only after they stopped talking did they cautiously speak, "General Manager Chen, the situation was sudden and conditions are temporarily a bit crude, so we'll have to make do for now."

"It's okay, no need for special treatment, something simple will do, whatever others have, we'll have the same," Chen Shouyi said.

He initially thought they would be living in tents like everyone else, but it turned out they were housed in a suite made up of four connected shipping containers.

Of course, the inside was equally simple, but at times like these, one couldn't ask for much.

After the family settled down, it wasn't long before their two uncles and aunts arrived, led by soldiers, causing a significant cheer.

Chen Shouyi greeted each one, and after a while, felt that everyone seemed a bit constrained in his presence.

So he walked out the door at ease.

More and more people were pouring into the alternate world, a sea of people could be seen at a glance.

Everyone's face was filled with concern, confusion, anxiety, or sadness.

...

"Let me go, I have to go back to Earth, my parents, wife, and children are still on Earth, you can't do this," said a middle-aged man with thick glasses, struggling with excitement.

"Professor Zhang, calm down, please calm yourself, the spots are limited, you coming here consumes the nation's precious resources, and no one will be abandoned, our soldiers are preparing for war, and our government leaders are also on Earth on the front lines, you might only have to wait here patiently for a few days before you can go back," said a government worker nearby, tightly holding him, trying hard to console him.

"Can we... really win?" The middle-aged man's passionate emotion slightly cooled down as he heard this, hopefully asking.

"Yes, we definitely can!"

...

Chen Shouyi sighed, walking out of the spatial passage.

The sky had already turned dark, and under the dim moonlight, the trucks still lined the road like a long dragon.

He hesitated for a moment, walked to a secluded spot, stamped his foot on the ground, and his body shot up into the sky.

After reaching several kilometers high,

he began to accelerate.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a sonic boom cloud was left in place, racing across the night sky at high speed.

Only a few minutes later, Chen Shouyi had already reached the ocean, and the Earth felt somewhat small to him, merely a dozen minutes later, he slowly stopped, and the Rising Sun Country was already in sight.

In the distance, thick clouds covered half the sky, countless lightning bolts fell like rain, striking the ground.

A scene of doomsday.

Suddenly, a blinding bright light exploded in mid-air, turning the night into day, as if a blazing sun stretched across the sky, even piercing a hole in the thick clouds to reveal faint starlight.

However, compared to the clouds that covered the entire sky, this was just a drop in the ocean.

The terrifying lightning storm still hadn't stopped.

This was not a normal lightning storm, it was filled with an aura of vast divine power, as if the whole world was dominated by a powerful and terrifying will, even though he was standing dozens of kilometers away, it still made him feel a little jittery.

"Is this the Barbarian God with powerful divine power? It's even more terrifying than I imagined."

At this moment, Chen Shouyi's hairs suddenly stood on end, as if an august gaze was upon him.

Simultaneously, accompanied by a strong sense of crisis.

"Not good!"

He silently cursed, barely managing to transform.

The next moment, a thick bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking his body in an instant.

His whole body trembled, the energy of the lightning was completely incomparable to natural lightning, at the instant of contact, it enveloped him in smoke, and his whole body was ignited, rigidly falling from the sky.

Dozens of seconds later, a huge wave splashed on the sea surface, creating a stormy sea.

Chen Shouyi slowly recovered, feeling intense pain, weakness all over his body, and his mind was a bit fuzzy.

He canceled the transformation, spat out a mouthful of charred blood, gritted his teeth against the pain, and quickly dove into the depths of the sea.

Occasionally, nuclear explosion-like dazzling flashes lit up above, illuminating the entire ocean brightly.

One hundred meters... two hundred meters... five hundred meters...

He saw a cave ahead and quickly slipped inside, while a huge octopus inside was shredded by his thoughts.

"Severe nerve damage, massive internal organ rupture, almost half of the body's cells were destroyed..." Chen Shouyi sensed, his face grim, with lingering fear:

"Damn, what a terrifying attack, and that was just a casual strike. Fortunately, the primary target was the Rising Sun Country, not following up here."

He suddenly realized his vacuum field wasn't safe.

Vacuum could only defend against normal lightning.

When the energy of the lightning reached a certain level, the vacuum might be pierced, forming a stream of electrons.

He opened the attribute panel, looking at over 1,300 faith values.

He added 1,000 points to self-healing.

Feeling the heat flow throughout his body, he leaned back, powerless, in the rock cave and closed his eyes.

He initially had some reckless thoughts, but that strike completely sobered him. Perhaps he could deal with a Barbarian God with moderate divine power, but against one with powerful divine power, he was still not competent.

The opponent's attack was terrifying, one strike severely injuring him, leaving him nearly on the verge of death.

"Fortunately, I left those two little ones in the room, otherwise, they would have been implicated by me." He felt a bit relieved.

And a bit of despair.

The body was quickly self-healing, with stinging itchiness all over, as charred skin slowly sloughed off, and Chen Shouyi felt a familiar hunger, the energy in his body being consumed for self-healing.

He quickly used his will to push away the seawater, retrieved meat paste imbued with powerful divine power from space, and devoured it ravenously.

Feeling slightly restored in strength.

He immediately started his return.

This time, he didn't dare continue flying, stealthily swimming along the seafloor.

Although his speed in the water was far from matching flight, it was not slow, and only three hours later, he found the seawater was getting shallower, flew out of the sea, and the continent was not far away.

Chen Shouyi looked back, the dense clouds were no longer visible, and he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly determining the direction and speeding toward Zhonghai City.
