Chapter 1691 1690: The Heavenly Ladder Has Been Destroyed

Boom!!!

A giant wave erupted.

Due to the unique construction, the entire Heavenly Ladder was extraordinarily large and broad. The whole structure was engraved with arrays and countless rules, and the ladder was operating.

That means.

The entire ladder was a bomb.

Pull one thread, and the whole fabric is affected.

The magnificent and majestic structure, which took 300 years to build, exploded before everyone's eyes.

Outside the Heavenly Ladder, many Divine Race experts were patrolling, protecting its operation.

However, the ladder exploded without any sign.

The sound echoed through the heavens.

Huge waves, explosions, and shockwaves.

It shattered the Divine Race buildings completely.

The location where the ladder was stored instantly became ruins.

At the site where the ladder was placed, all rules vanished in an instant, taking the entire space with it.

Forming a massive black hole.

This was far more terrifying than mere destructive power; it meant that anyone or anything appearing at the ladder's location would be swallowed by this black mouth.

Simply a kilometer-long black hole.

Very narrow.

Just like a bottomless cliff.

At the moment of the explosion.

The entire Divine Race was stunned; they all knew the Heavenly Ladder had exploded.

For a moment, everyone stood still, not knowing what to do, whether to move, waiting for someone from outside to notify them it was fake, all a dream.

Yet it was indeed real.

A broadcast echoed.

"First Level Alert, First Level Alert, First Level Alert!"

"All Divine Race guard teams, rush towards the ladder!"

"Our Heavenly Ladder has been attacked, our ladder has been attacked!"

Ordinary Divine Race citizens also expressed shock, watching the gods flying around in the sky.

Even those without flight permission in this main city flew along.

Heaven and earth changed their colors.

The sky was about to change.

Everything had changed.

Currently, no upper-level beings have appeared.

Because they were all in outer space, besieging Fang Yu.

Only all the Divine Race experts below Upper Level God were left, blindly scurrying around like flies.

Honestly, they had no experience dealing with such matters. The ladder incidents were always handled by the upper-levels. When something so serious happened, it was usually the upper-levels who would take action; everyday management and minor issues not affecting civilization wouldn't prompt upper-level involvement.

But now the situation escalated.

The upper-levels seemed to collectively disappear, and no one showed up.

The place where the ladder was stored.

Many Upper Level Gods hovered around the black hole.

Each stared wide-eyed at the narrow black hole space.

Completely unable to believe that the ladder exploded.

It's over.

This meant the Divine Race's hopes of invading other civilizations within 300 years were nearly impossible. But the problem was that the Divine Race's resources could hardly last until then. Maybe they needed to tighten their belts.

This was their lifeline.

And now.

The ladder was utterly destroyed.

What should be done now?

How should they handle this?

Upper Level gods looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

With panic in their eyes, they stared at the black hole.

After a long time, a Upper Level God finally spoke.

"Who on earth destroyed our Heavenly Ladder!"

"This is atrocious. We must investigate thoroughly!"

"Unforgivable indeed!"

"Without the ladder, our future will be bleak. How can we invade Earth, obtain its resources, and sustain our lives?"

"Talking about this now is useless. Our only course is to find out who caused this. The upper-levels are engaged in more critical matters beyond the skies, and if I'm not mistaken, it's highly likely a superior civilization has appeared, making our current situation far less stable than imagined."

"That's sensible. If the upper-levels could handle it, there's no way none of them would have returned; presently, none of the 25 higher-ups nor the Pavilion Master have appeared. It indicates a powerful opponent!"

With these words, faces turned pale.

If this were the case, the problem was severe, and if the investigation revealed the individual who sabotaged the ladder was beyond their imagination, what then?

Facing such a powerful expert directly would mean certain death.

Only when reaching the Great Perfect City could they claim they wouldn't be killed, but their cultivation and Realm were far from the Divine Great Perfection Realm.

In a moment, the Divine Race's nature was laid bare.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

...

Meanwhile.

Ye Wenjun returned to the Cui Family, looking as if she hadn't done anything, calmly sitting indoors.

Because she knew the ladder was utterly destroyed, and things were chaotic outside.

Until now, probably no one knew she had a Pocket World Shuttle, such a Divine Artifact.

As long as she didn't admit it, no one could accuse her.

So she continued cultivating at home, as if nothing had happened.

Outside was already in chaos.

Returning home was no exception.

Many families and maids rushed everywhere with luggage. But they didn't realize that city-level conflicts meant running was futile.

Upper-level failure also meant their failure.

It's the same in any nation. Without a country? How can you have a home?

Orderers searched everywhere, hoping to find the person who destroyed the ladder.

Yet no matter how they searched, they moved like headless flies, unable to find anything, or perhaps they weren't truly focused.

The Divine Race pretended to be extremely busy.

Yet hadn't solved a single matter.

Because they all waited.

Waiting for the upper-level to return.

Similarly.

Ye Wenjun waited.

Waiting for Fang Yu to return.

If Fang Yu returned, he would surely urge Ye Wenjun to leave first.

Return to Earth or something.

But Ye Wenjun wouldn't do that.

Because she knew only she and Fang Yu were truly a couple through thick and thin.

Everything else was fleeting.

This matter, Ye Wenjun refused to listen to Fang Yu.

That's just her character.

Every hour, Ye Wenjun sensed Fang Yu's life status. If she detected his presence, strong vitality, Ye Wenjun continued cultivating.

Once she felt any weakening, she would fly into outer space, heedless of personal safety.

At this moment.

Miss Cui pushed the door open.

Staring in surprise, seeing Ye Wenjun waiting calmly indoors.

"Ye Miss, why are you still here?"

"Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Things are very chaotic outside now; if someone finds out you're from Earth, the trouble will be severe. You should run away!"
