Chapter 801: Chapter 496: It Doesn’t Matter, I’ll Step In (Part 2)

They were curious about how Wang Ye managed it, but the current situation no longer allowed them to continue pondering over this matter. The catastrophe they created was about to destroy Earth, countless Sea Monsters had infiltrated their oceanic cities, plunging their country into chaos, the economy had collapsed, and society had become unstable.

It was all a result of their obstinacy and reckless actions. If they had listened to Wang Ye and avoided probing the secrets of the Mariana Trench’s depths, perhaps the situation wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

Helpless, they had no choice but to shift their research direction, using Crystal as energy, starting to explore faster, farther-traveling spaceships, attempting to leave this dying planet...

······················

······················

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Now, the entire Earth had been gnawed into ruin by Sea Monsters, reducing the original eight billion humans by billions.

Among the countries, even China, which was still intact, began to show signs of decline.

Because the Sea Monsters from the deep seas were becoming more aggressive, and their resources and ammunition were depleting.

If Wang Ye did not arrive soon, they might truly face an apocalypse.

Although there was another option, migrating to the Moon or Mars, abandoning this heavily ravaged planet. But with their current technology, they could only transport a very small number of people at a time, insufficient to relocate the fifty billion residents from Earth.

This was also the main reason they continued to persevere until now. They must protect the remaining humanity and cannot cruelly abandon them here. Moreover, based on their predictions, Wang Ye would soon return to Earth, and once Wang Ye arrived, these disasters should be resolved effortlessly.

Even though they couldn’t imagine any way to deal with the current catastrophes on Earth.

But in their hearts, Wang Ye had already become an omnipotent Divine.

Wang Ye had created one miracle after another before humanity.

Therefore, they very much hoped Wang Ye would create another miracle.

At this moment, within the coastal command center.

Old Yi stared solemnly at the pitch-black ocean before him.

The sunset fell on the horizon but could not cast a reddish glow on the sea surface.

The smell of gunpowder and the roar of Sea Monsters permeated this maritime region, devoid of the previous tranquility and harmony, transformed into a scene of apocalypse.

He sighed slightly and asked his subordinate behind him, "Still no news?"

"No."

"Wait a bit longer. Perhaps by tomorrow, he’ll arrive." Even the usually steadfast Old Yi now showed a trace of despair in his eyes.

These 30 days seemed brief but had worn him out beyond recognition, along with his other subordinates, who were now exhausted, even contemplating suicide, to escape this cruel reality.

The only spiritual support keeping them going was Wang Ye.

They constantly hoped Wang Ye might descend upon Earth one day.

"Let’s go, head back." Old Yi turned around, walking towards the command center’s direction.

In fact, with Wang Ye’s size in the vast Cosmos, he was but a tiny speck in the ocean and could not be detected by any instrument. Therefore, the method to detect Wang Ye’s movements wasn’t through detecting the physical entity but through energy fluctuations.

According to Old Yi’s understanding, Wang Ye was supposed to release massive amounts of Plasma Flame during high-speed travel,

The volume of this Plasma Flame was tremendous, capable of spreading over several kilometers, with temperatures reaching tens of thousands of degrees, even higher than the Sun’s surface.

If Wang Ye arrived near Earth, they would surely be able to detect abnormal energy fluctuations.

So for this month, they had been monitoring energy fluctuations in the Cosmos,

trying to predict when Wang Ye would reach Earth.

But despairingly, they hadn’t detected any abnormal energy fluctuations throughout this month.

They couldn’t help but begin questioning whether their waiting was truly meaningful.

Could it be that after enduring for a month, their fate would still be swallowed by Sea Monsters?

Upon returning to the command center, Old Yi initially intended to return to his office to continue organizing Sea Monster data.

Suddenly, Chen Xin rushed over, a trace of excitement on his face, immediately saying upon seeing Old Yi, "Commander Yi, we’ve detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the Cosmos!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the command center turned their heads abruptly.

This sentence was like a dawn, illuminating everyone’s heart present.

"Are you sure? Is it really him?" Old Yi widened his eyes, displaying intense excitement.

The officers around the command center also paused their work, nervously looking towards Chen Xin.

Standing next to Chen Xin, Wu Chen replied, "I’m absolutely certain, this energy fluctuation is definitely Wang Ye."

He was one of the few present who had witnessed Wang Ye unleash all his energy firsthand,

Thus, he was the most acquainted with Wang Ye among all present.

As long as he confirmed it was definitely Wang Ye, then it was undoubtedly Wang Ye.

"Where is he currently located?" Old Yi suppressed his inner excitement and continued to ask.

"According to our exploration, the energy fluctuation has reached 10,000 kilometers outside Earth’s atmosphere, and it’s estimated... to arrive on land in half an hour!" Chen Xin spoke with increasing excitement.

Instantly, everyone felt that their efforts over the past month had been worth it.

They finally awaited this day, finally awaited Wang Ye’s return to Earth!

"Why are you all standing there?" Old Yi immediately said, "Deploy everyone, hurry and prepare to welcome Wang Ye!"

"Welcome?" A subordinate was taken aback, "Where to welcome him?"

Old Yi thought for a moment, then answered, "Anywhere, Wang Ye will see us."

He knew very well about Wang Ye’s Five Senses capabilities. Wang Ye’s vision could see a particular individual walking on a road on Earth from outside the atmosphere. Meaning, wherever they stood, Wang Ye could see them from outside the atmosphere. Therefore, no matter where they chose to welcome him, it didn’t matter.

Old Yi quickly gathered important figures from the command center and headed to a nearby open beach, awaiting Wang Ye’s arrival.

After waiting for about half an hour on the beach, finally, a scarlet glimmer appeared on the horizon.

Buzz!!!

At the moment the scarlet glimmer appeared, the entire Earth’s atmosphere seemed to shake violently.

Everyone sensed a formidable force breaking through the atmosphere, approaching the land at an unimaginable speed.

But Old Yi and others showed no fear; their eyes were filled with reverence and anticipation, like gazing at a Divine Being.

They had already waited too long for this day!

As the fiery light drew closer and closer, the vibrations in the air grew even more astonishing,

about two minutes later,

Whiz---!!!

The silhouette was infinitely close to the ground, carrying a terrifying presence, as if it might transform into a meteor at any moment, descending onto the beach.

However, at the moment before it smashed down, it suddenly reduced speed, surprisingly controlling the inertia steadily, landing smoothly and slowly on the beach, the flames on his body swiftly dissipating, the remaining flames scorching the pebbles with a "sizzling" sound.

The figure revealed beneath the flames was the one they day and night longed for — Wang Ye!

"Come, tell me. What happened during this time?" Wang Ye calmly approached Old Yi, speaking calmly.

Old Yi suppressed his inner excitement and promptly reported, "Since you left, the United States destroyed the seabed mineral veins, causing massive Evolutionary Energy leaks, now Earth is about to be destroyed by sea creatures. Many countries are nearing extinction, with only a few military powerhouses barely able to withstand the Sea Monster invasion. The United States’ high-level officials have already prepared to migrate to the Moon, now Earth might... no longer sustains life."

"What should we do now? Can all of humanity still survive?" Wu Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Wang Ye smiled slightly and said, "It doesn’t matter, I will intervene."
