My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 527: Chapter 337: Identity Revealed, Global Live Broadcast (Part 2)

Li Xiang’s fans were also overjoyed and excited.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Mysterious Man’s commentary, the identities of the three Divine Level Earth Vein Spirits spread like wildfire, stunning netizens across the globe.

”The ancient Eastern Great Power truly has a deep heritage to be protected by such powerful deities!” a European netizen exclaimed.

A Japanese netizen commented, ”No wonder our invasion failed back then. It was practically fated.”

”My god, deities like this actually exist in the world.”

”I said it from the beginning! The Mysterious Armored Man is from China, but nobody believed me at first.”

An Indian netizen chimed in, ”Don’t forget, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei are still Divine Envoys of our Shiva God. Once a Divine Envoy, always a Divine Envoy.”

Netizens from other countries retorted, ”Shameless! Are you trying to piggyback on their fame? Is your Shiva God even worthy?”

”Seriously! Shiva God probably couldn’t even beat Brother Xiang!”

”And we don’t see the Shiva God coming out to save Earth.”

”Brother Xiang is incredible! He even managed to summon the legendary Mountain and River Spirits for backup!”

”Three Divine Level Earth Vein Spirits + the Armored Man + the Female War God... with a lineup like this, even Thanos would have to bow down!” (Meme image: The Avengers kneeling before Li Xiang)

One netizen scoffed, ”The NATO nukes couldn’t break the fissure, just created a radiation zone. In the end, they still had to rely on China’s Extraordinary Beings to physically endure the radiation and do the work!”

This taunt was reposted countless times. When some high-ranking officials in the Beautiful Country saw it, they couldn’t help but feel disgraced.

Then, some of them got crooked ideas. One high-ranking official, for example, wondered, ’If we launched a nuke at Li Xiang right now, could we kill him?’

After all, Li Xiang was in Antarctica at that moment; bombing him wouldn’t harm any innocents.

But he immediately abandoned this foolish thought.

First, the entire world was watching the live broadcast. Li Xiang was fighting for the future of Earth and had the enthusiastic support of people everywhere. If they were to bomb him now, the public backlash would likely be even greater than if they had killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Second, even if they did bomb him, they most likely wouldn’t be able to kill him.

His speed of Mach 40 alone meant he’d be long gone before a missile could even reach him. Furthermore, the commentator had already stated that Li Xiang could withstand a nuclear blast. What did that mean? It meant he could stand at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion and emerge completely unscathed.

Third, if they failed, no one could withstand the retaliation that would surely follow from Li Xiang.

On Mount Fuji in Japan, Chiba Yuki was watching the broadcast with her two cherubic twin daughters.

The Twin Gouyu were curled up in Chiba Yuki’s arms, their small eyes fixed on Li Xiang’s figure on the screen, filled with endless adoration. ”Mama, Godfather is so amazing!”

In Paris, France, Erin gently caressed her slightly rounded belly and whispered, ”Baby, come see your father’s heroic deeds.” She was pregnant. The last time she and Li Xiang engaged in Dual Cultivation, she had asked him for a child. Li Xiang granted her wish, used no contraception, and she conceived on the first try.

「...」

”They’re moving! They’re moving! They’ve started!” someone cried out.

The global viewership quickly surpassed eight billion and was still climbing.

A netizen from China with deep knowledge of traditional culture exclaimed, ”Are they using a legendary Array formation?”

This netizen pointed out that on the broadcast, the three Divine Level Earth Vein Spirits seemed to be occupying the ”Heaven, Earth, and Man” hubs of a Three Talents Array. Meanwhile, Li Xiang held the ”Gen Mountain” position to provide the main suppression, and Luo Feifei took the ”Kan Water” position to guide the flow.

It had to be said, there were experts among the populace. While their analysis wasn’t perfectly accurate, it was more or less on the mark.

「Antarctica」

The ice plain trembled with a mournful cry as tearing winds ripped a hole in the residual radiation cloud from the nuclear explosion. Li Xiang’s Giant Whale Saint Armor erupted with a Qing-colored glow, its whale-like devouring force churning the auroras for a hundred miles around. Beneath Luo Feifei’s feet, the Ice Phoenix spread its frosty wings, and wherever its feathers passed, a thousand-meter-long Ice Crystal Great Wall materialized.

”Three Talents, return to the origin! Raise the Array!” The Elder in the Dragon Robe’s hair and beard ignited in crimson-gold flames as the Lishan Earth Vein totem pierced through the planet’s core to manifest on the Antarctic ice sheet. Where chains of seal script wrapped around, the ice split open into a ten-thousand-meter-deep chasm of lava. From the boiling magma, Illusions of nine Bronze Tripods emerged. The Chapters of the *Yu Gong* inscribed upon them transformed into a golden torrent that poured into the fissure.

”Purple Forbidden Enclosure, Star Fire, ignite! Suppress!” The Imperial Capital Dragon Spirit revealed the true form of the Ziwei Emperor Star. Amidst a resounding dragon’s cry, clusters of red ”Star Fire” from beneath the Hero Monument followed the path of the twenty-eight constellations to sear the fissure.

The Wenshu Fairy’s figure was as ethereal as misty rain. Her slender hands gently tapped a tattered scroll of *The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons*, causing the misty rains of Wuyi Lane’s Six Dynasties to bloom across the *Timely Clearing after Snowfall* calligraphy. The ink of Wang Xizhi, the blood and tears of Cao Xueqin, the bygone splendor of Wuyi Lane... all these imprints of Literary Souls merged into a Law Chain, binding the strange energy spilling from the passage into a cocoon.

”Kunyuan—Ninefold Cliff!” Li Xiang activated his Earth Superpower, and the Antarctic tectonic plate let out a roar like a primordial beast. A ten-thousand-meter-tall rocky spine burst from the ground like a giant dragon, its overlapping peaks forming a layered cliff above the fissure, mimicking the terrain of the Taishan Eighteen Bends.

A netizen cried out in shock, ”Did he just move Mount Taishan here to suppress the fissure?”

”The saying ’the weight of Mount Taishan’ just became literal!”

At the same time, Luo Feifei’s body erupted in an azure brilliance, and the thousand-meter-long Ice Crystal Great Wall also pressed down upon the spatial fissure.

The five of them were not attacking separately but were coordinating with one another. A profound connection linked them, generating a strange domain. It was as if they were weaving a great net, a net that was constantly tightening...

Frenzied energy rampaged through the area, causing any drones that got too close to plummet from the sky. Fortunately, the great powers had come prepared. A constant stream of drones took off from nearby aircraft carriers to replace the fallen ones.

Netizens across the globe were dumbfounded. This wasn’t a sci-fi movie, and there were no special effects. Yet, the spectacle the five of them produced was more stunning than the most advanced CGI, and at the same time, it felt endlessly real.
