Chapter 865 865: Who Are You?
Qin Heng brought Qin Yun, Song Ningran, Shi Yiguang, and the members of the Myth Organization to the Zijinshan Observatory.
The one who came out to greet them was Qi Jia, a PhD in astrophysics. She could be considered the head of this observatory, and her personal greeting showed how much importance she placed on this visit.
Of course, she had no choice but to take it seriously.
The changes appearing on Earth now seemed utterly incredible to her, far beyond her imagination. It was a miracle that people on Earth remained unharmed.
She had a good relationship with Xue Qinan and held a position of some influence, so she was privy to certain top-level Transcendent powers in the world.
However, her staunch materialist view prevented her from deeply understanding these matters, barely acknowledging the strength of an Innate Grandmaster.
But she had heard of people in the Myth Organization who were even stronger than Innate Grandmasters, possessing earth-shattering power like the legendary Immortals.
Before now, she hadn't paid much attention to it.
In Qi Jia's mind, technology was the most powerful tool in modern society. Whatever powers Martial Artists or other Transcendents possessed, they could never match the might of modern technology.
No matter what Divine Skills you had, she'd always believed that one nuclear bomb would reduce you to ashes.
But now, as Earth transformed, she saw Qin Heng in his Dao form, and every gesture seemed to hold a world-destroying force, shattering her worldview.
However, when Spiritual Energy was revived, global signals were cut off, even satellite monitoring outside Earth was blocked, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
After signals and observation capabilities were restored, she discovered something that left her shocked and incredulous. Earth had grown much larger!!
She hadn't had time to examine the detailed data, but a rough observation showed that Earth's diameter had expanded at least threefold!!
A planet, tripling its diameter out of nowhere!
In Qi Jia's understanding, such a thing was impossible. A threefold increase in Earth's diameter would greatly alter gravity, making it uncertain if ordinary humans could survive. It was inconceivable that things could remain as they were.
Yet, judging by her own senses, she now felt exceptionally good, physically and mentally better than ever before, as if she had been reborn!
This was unbelievable!
Everything felt so unfathomable, so she called Xue Qinan to inquire about what had happened earlier and learned of their group's impending visit to the Zijinshan Observatory.
"Qi Nan, who are these people?" Qi Jia glanced at Qin Heng and the others with slight displeasure.
She was extremely serious about research; in her view, unrelated people shouldn't enter research-related places. To her, unrelated ordinary people were generally ignorant and could easily damage research equipment or destroy results out of ignorance.
Originally, she just wanted Xue Qinan to clarify what happened when the signal was lost and why Earth inflated so much!
But now, besides Xue Qinan, so many people had come, causing her dissatisfaction.
Xue Qinan didn't mind Qi Jia's change in demeanor. Smiling, he said, "This is Mr. Qin, a friend of our Myth Organization. The others are Mr. Qin's sister and friends, members of our Myth Organization, and this here is one of our leaders, codenamed Prince East."
"So you're Prince East. I've heard much about you." Qi Jia's eyes lit up as she greeted Prince East and then said hello to Ning Shuying and other members of the Myth Organization.
But she ignored Qin Heng and the others.
Then, she leaned over to Xue Qinan, whispering, "Qi Nan, you're welcome to bring people from the Myth Organization, but bringing these unrelated people isn't appropriate."
As she spoke, she gestured towards Qin Heng's group.
"Huh?" Xue Qinan was visibly stunned, looking at Qi Jia in surprise and saying, "Unrelated?"
From the recent earth-shattering battle to the revival of Spiritual Energy, Qin Heng was the key figure. How did he become unrelated in Qi Jia's eyes?
"Yeah, they must be unrelated," Qi Jia looked at Qin Heng's group, resolving to speak louder, and said, "Actually, they're just ordinary people you saved along the way here."
"What!?!" Xue Qinan was even more baffled.
Seeing no objection from Xue Qinan, Qi Jia assumed she was right and nodded, saying, "In that case, they really shouldn't enter the observation room. Given their status, they have no right to understand this matter."
In her mind, Earth's sudden threefold diameter expansion was an earth-shattering event. If ordinary people discovered this, it would undoubtedly cause mass panic.
It had to be kept hidden.
Even if ordinary people later realized something was wrong, it was better than exposing it now; at least time could be gained for discussing solutions.
Qin Heng and Song Ningran exchanged looks, surprised as they gazed at Qi Jia, finding it amusing. Was the astrophysics doctor only thinking about celestial bodies?
Prince East and the others were speechless, unsure of how to respond to Qi Jia.
Qi Jia didn't notice their change in expression. She approached Qin Heng and said, "You should understand, the world is undergoing major upheavals. My invitation to them is for something important that you can't be part of.
However, since it's quite dangerous outside now, you can stay here for now. But you absolutely cannot enter the observation room. Pardon my bluntness, but it's crucial you don't cause disruption during critical times."
"Jiajia, what are you talking about?" Xue Qinan was bewildered, incredulously looking at Qi Jia. What was she doing, talking to Mr. Qin like that? Was she crazy!?!
"Qi Nan, don't be lenient. You might not yet know the gravity of the situation," Qi Jia said solemnly. "Come, let's go to the observation room together. Earth truly has a major problem now."
"No." Xue Qinan shook her head, looking seriously at Qi Jia, and pointed at Qin Heng, saying, "Do you know who this is!?"
Then, she quickly and apologetically said to Qin Heng, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I didn't explain your identity clearly to Qi Jia. She meant no harm, I'm sorry."
"Aren't they just ordinary people you saved on the way?" Qi Jia asked, puzzled. Xue Qinan's behavior seemed odd to her.
Then, she looked at Qin Heng, asking with a frown, "Who are you?"
"The One Eternal." Qin Heng smiled faintly and walked straight to the observation room.
He paid no mind to Qi Jia's attitude.
Such an ant wasn't worthy of his attention; there was no need to care.
"What are you doing!?" Qi Jia furrowed her brow in alertness, unexpectedly pulling out a delicate silver ladies' handgun from her pocket, aiming it at Qin Heng's head.
"Stop!!"
