Chapter 538: Chapter 439: Global Reactions (Part 3)
Upon hearing the female technician’s explanation, an idea immediately formed deep in their hearts—a "conspiracy theory" that Lu Li had intentionally spread rumors of the impending gamma-ray burst for some ulterior motive.
However, this notion was quickly dismissed by George, the Great Emperor, and others.
Because they were not fools; they understood that Lu Li had not shown any particular purpose up to this point, so it was unlikely to be a rumor.
If Lu Li really had a motive, like ruling the Earth, he could have enacted it before the prophesied gamma-ray burst, thus obtaining sufficient resources.
In fact, everyone was well aware that billions worldwide had begged Lu Li to "ascend to the throne as emperor," yet he showed no interest, so how could it be rumor-mongering?
George, the Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, and others were not as mindless as those angrily cursing Lu Li.
They would contemplate and analyze the specific situation.
Understanding that Lu Li couldn’t be spreading rumors was one thing.
Another matter was why the gamma-ray burst hadn’t arrived yet.
Although George, the Great Emperor, and Lady Sanna were anxious, they remained calm and waited.
About two more minutes passed.
Suddenly, the pitch-black scene trembled violently.
It was as if some colossal force had affected the stars over there, causing a quake.
George’s eyes widened suddenly, "Is the gamma-ray burst here?"
The Great Emperor quickly sat upright, staring intently at the screen.
Xiong Wen Si Lang and Lady Sanna, among others, adopted a similar attitude, watching unblinkingly, afraid of missing the upcoming scene.
When everyone’s attention reached its peak, an awe-inspiring scene suddenly unfolded!
...
Inside the super spaceship.
Liu Kexin, Lu Li’s parents, grandparents, maternal grandmother, and other relatives were all watching attentively.
Gu Wei, Peng Erping, Qin Liang, Xiaozhao, Xiaoqing, Brother Cheng, and other friends kept glancing at the screen.
Shen Xia, the fierce beauty Li Yajing, Julia Giannini, these women with somewhat unusual connections to Lu Li, did the same.
Of course, not forgetting these people’s families and friends.
At a glance, tens of thousands were gathered inside the vast spaceship cabin.
Although not everyone was in one cabin, every single person acted identically—staring intently at the screen.
Because the spaceship received signals slightly faster than various countries around the world.
Thus, they saw the situation before George, the Great Emperor, and other world leaders.
Initially, they could only see darkness on the screen, as there was no visible light.
However, as the screen suddenly shook violently, a world-shaking scene suddenly appeared in the eyes of the tens of thousands on the spaceship.
Everyone saw the boundless starry sky quiver, as a Heaven-Shocking Demon God, larger than Venus by an unknown measure, suddenly appeared before them. He served as a target for sunlight to refract into visible light, naturally allowing everyone to observe this phenomenon.
This Heaven-Shocking Demon God was so colossal, far larger than when they last saw him.
If they had to compare the scale of the Heaven-Shocking Demon God Lu Li transformed into last time versus this time, they could only describe it as the difference between a "baby" and "Yao Ming."
Indeed, this time, the Heaven-Shocking Demon God that Lu Li transformed into was four or five times larger than before when one finger sank the peninsula!
Although it wasn’t their first time seeing Lu Li turn into the Heaven-Shocking Demon God, witnessing it again left everyone uncontrollably awestruck.
Some people nearly gasped in amazement.
But this group quickly reacted, knowing now was not the time for exclamations.
Anyone with a brain understood that at this moment, when Lu Li revealed the "Dharmakaya" of the Heaven-Shocking Demon God, the gamma-ray burst was certainly about to arrive.
Precisely because they understood the reason, whether Liu Kexin, Lu Li’s parents and other relatives, or Shen Xia, Gu Wei, Xiaoqing, and other friends, as well as other family members, all felt their hearts tighten suddenly.
They were not worried about whether Lu Li could resist the gamma-ray burst.
No one was foolish; they knew it had been over ten minutes since the signal from Venus came through.
If Lu Li hadn’t withstood the gamma-ray burst, by now Earth would have been destroyed by one of the strongest rays in the cosmos.
The spaceship they were on would certainly have launched into space.
In reality, this wasn’t the case.
Thus, everyone actually knew inside that Lu Li had already resisted the gamma-ray burst, so they weren’t worried.
The reason their hearts tightened was that they wanted to know how Lu Li managed to withstand the gamma-ray burst and what great and painful sacrifice he had made.
After all, it’s been more than ten minutes since the prophesied gamma-ray burst arrived. If Lu Li hadn’t paid a significant, heavy price, logically, he should have returned by now, but unfortunately, they hadn’t seen Lu Li yet. So they thought he must have made a huge sacrifice to stop the gamma-ray burst.
Just as everyone was intensely focused, a brilliant light suddenly flashed from the screen — the gamma-ray burst finally arrived!
