Chapter 554: Chapter 549: Nearly in the Coffin, Stop Using Your Superpower Recklessly
Quell Vis knew this couldn’t be hidden any longer and revealed everything.
"I’ve seen fragments of your future. When you truly master the Power of Space-Time, you can become a god of this planet, ruling everyone’s destiny."
"So, what you mentioned earlier about me being able to appear anywhere on the planet at will, is this that power?"
"Exactly, but the Power of Space-Time is hard to control. You must master this energy before your limited Star Stone Energy runs out." Quell Vis’s graying hair shimmered with icy crystals in the cold winds of Beizhou.
She could feel the fleeting life of Quell Vis; he had less than two years left.
He wanted to live, and she was the only one who could keep him alive.
"If that’s the case, why did you allow them to want my life?"
Quell Vis’s frail body seemed more hunched, his voice a desolate whisper, "I used to feel so unwilling, always thinking I could change the future, but no matter what I did, your destiny continued along its predetermined path. I think this is what the gods wanted to tell me: as a Time Ability user, I can know the past, see the future, but I cannot interfere in others’ futures. Your life is destined to undergo these trials to become a god. I can’t stop it, nor can I change it. Just like how I can’t stop my family from falling into ruin. Ji Ning, I have my selfish motives..."
Ji Ning looked at his gradually bloodshot eyes, quickly raising her hand to tap his neck, making him fall asleep immediately.
"So close to getting into the coffin, don’t misuse your superpower."
Ji Ning cradled Quell Vis’s thin body horizontally and leapt down the mountainside.
As Ji Ning expected, the people let go not only wanted her life, but were also ambitiously coveting the scientific research achievements of the Beizhou Research Center.
This winter was destined to not pass peacefully.
Originally, Ye Tong planned to go with the crew to Beizhou for filming, but was informed the plan had changed.
Even the researcher families who wanted to reunite with their families in Beizhou for the New Year were sent out of Beizhou in advance.
The vast Beizhou, within just one week, returned to a deathly silence as if it were uninhabited.
In the biting cold wind and darkness, only the aurora borealis brought a touch of dreamlike color to this icy region.
Although Beizhou had passed the polar night, with the days gradually lengthening, the long nights were still the main theme here.
Just like the color surrounding Ji Ning at this moment, as Masha would say, darker than the nights of Beizhou.
Barry felt a bit uneasy, his 18th Rank Spiritual Power allowing him to clearly sense some kind of energy fluctuation around Ji Ning, more violent than when they were in the West Continent, an energy capable of destroying all of Beizhou.
Finally—
On a certain morning, that energy erupted.
Barry grabbed Masha and ran towards the entrance of the bunker.
At the same time, a first-level alarm sounded within the bunker.
The mechanical voice repeatedly warned everyone: "Alert! Alert! A level 15 blizzard is approaching, please all units immediately cease outdoor operations and return to the bunker..."
"My god, a level 15 blizzard? Is it going to engulf all of Beizhou?"
The base warriors on duty outside quickly entered through the nearest bunker entrance.
The Beizhou bunker, built into Dragon Rock, wouldn’t collapse even with a level 15 earthquake, arguably the safest place in the world.
Mantis wiped the sweat off his forehead after locking several locks on the bunker door, saying in trepidation, "How did the blizzard start so suddenly? I checked the weather forecast yesterday, there was no extreme weather forecasted recently..."
Fu Yuanxuan looked towards the door, his expression tense as he suddenly felt a familiar oppressive force coming from the direction of the highest peak.
Could this blizzard have been caused by Ji Ning?
As thoughts swirled, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Go to entrance C4 to pick up Masha and Barry.]
It’s Ji Ning...
Fu Yuanxuan’s eyes widened instantly, and after scanning the surroundings, he quickly ran towards entrance C4.
"Captain, where are you going? Wait for me..."
The sudden blizzard in Beizhou triggered a chain reaction in the nearby seas.
Dozens of ships nearing Beizhou were caught off guard by an unexpected sea storm.
The rolling waves surged, and the small ships vanished in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the vast ocean.
When the leaders of various continent forces learned their dispatched people were completely wiped out, their eyes were filled with shock and fear.
None of those who became leaders were brainless fools.
Suddenly encountering extreme weather causing complete annihilation?
Why hadn’t such sudden occurrences been seen in the Beizhou sea area before?
"What’s the situation in Beizhou now?"
"The meteorological department just announced that Beizhou is experiencing the biggest blizzard in history, disaster level reaching fifteen. It nearly covers all of Beizhou."
"Could it be a coincidence?"
The leaders’ expressions grew more solemn, "Closely monitor the situation in Beizhou."
This monitoring revealed the sea storm continued for three to four months before gradually subsiding.
After the seas near Beizhou calmed again, another batch of ships approached Beizhou, but this time they encountered no sea storm, yet were once again lost in the sea fog of Beizhou.
This time these forces’ leaders were entirely convinced that someone was protecting Beizhou in secret.
And this person’s power was strong enough to control extreme weather.
The two attempts to infiltrate Beizhou greatly reduced the strength of these families, with two-thirds of the Eternal Life Sect assassins disappearing.
The powers in charge dared not underestimate Beizhou any longer, stifling their ambitions.
Just as they thought everything was over, their family businesses were consecutively attacked, numerous buried scandals resurfaced, causing family reputations to plummet.
Just then, Beizhou suddenly added insult to injury.
Globally announcing a list of companies they would no longer cooperate with, dealing a fatal blow to their family businesses.
Knowing that while they acted as agents for Beizhou’s products, Beizhou’s research center became popular worldwide.
Now, the whole world knew Beizhou developed Nutrition Pods to enhance physical fitness, Awakening Medicine, as well as a series of products that turned ordinary people into superpower users, enhancing levels, and developing multi-ability products.
Although expensive, with awakening success rates less than 30%, these achievements offered ordinary people hope.
These companies preferring to act as Beizhou product agents made enormous profits.
Now Beizhou’s sudden global announcement to cease authorization to some families was simply a nightmare for them.
The leaders finally realized this was Beizhou’s open strategy, aiming to completely overthrow them economically.
So, Beizhou knew their plan from the start and, calculatingly, plotted against them.
But how did they know the plan?
The leaders thought hard, suddenly remembering the gifts given by Beizhou’s representatives after a trade symposium.
Faced with realization, they shouted, "Quick, bring in Wendy and Young Master Koster..."
These two were his most valued juniors, and after obtaining the Awakening Medicine, he directly gave the potion to them.
They didn’t disappoint, successfully awakening abilities within a week.
For this reason, he began taking them to various occasions, letting them gradually get involved in family affairs.
In both assassinations sent to Beizhou, they were fully involved.
If information leaked, it was likely the oversight lay with them.
Just as he thought this, an aide entered the room anxiously.
"Patriarch, there’s trouble. Miss Wendy and Young Master Koster were taken away by the Alliance Guard."
"What?" The leader stood up in shock.
The aide said with a complex expression, "They offended a member of the royal family."
"How is that possible?"
The leader quickly went to the scene but found nothing abnormal.
The two juniors seemingly suddenly went mad, spouting insults at royal members, yet there were no suspicious individuals around.
Despite a prolonged investigation, the leader couldn’t figure out why the two juniors acted this way.
And the two juniors readily confessed their wrongdoings, solidifying the family’s disrespect towards the royal family.
