Although Elder Li tried his best to conceal the news of the impending catastrophe, people all over the world still felt something was wrong.
It was summer, but the south, which should have been hotter, was experiencing heavy snow, with temperatures plummeting to minus tens of degrees.
That was the south without heating!
The temperature dropped drastically overnight, causing many to die suddenly from the rapid cooling before they could react.
In the north, floods raged, with some cities completely submerged, leaving only a few scattered high-rise buildings as remnants of their existence.
Glaciers in the Antarctic melted rapidly, while the Arctic temperature soared.
Some towns in snow-covered regions, which had never thawed, were also submerged by meltwater.
North America, Northern Europe, Southern Africa, and other regions all experienced extremely harsh weather.
Coastal countries were hit by tsunamis, and even an entire country, "Little Sun," was submerged beneath the sea.
Overnight, a nation vanished.
The changes were so rapid that people couldn't react, even though countries were trying their best to salvage the situation.
However, it was all in vain.
Other countries were still dealing with their own domestic problems. By the time they received appeals for help from "Little Sun,"
The country of "Little Sun" had already disappeared completely, making rescue impossible.
Despite repeated official statements urging calm and evacuation, the apocalyptic scenes made people lose all hope of survival.
In addition to these natural disasters, man-made calamities also occurred.
Suddenly, the world was abuzz with talk of the end of the world.
The long-suppressed human nature finally erupted with its ugliest side, driving everyone to madness.
Things that were never done before, things that people dared not do, all burst forth within a few days.
Governments of all countries faced immense pressure, not only to provide disaster relief and evacuation but also to suppress rioters and destructive elements.
Without anyone needing to say it, all this chaos clearly indicated the arrival of a great calamity.
"The third solar magnetic storm is coming, Elder Li. What should we do?"
In just half a month, Elder Li and Elder Huang looked haggard.
Compared to their former robust, slightly chubby appearance, the two elders had lost a lot of weight, looking like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"The first solar magnetic storm caused severe weather and great disasters. The second solar magnetic storm led to frequent earthquakes and tsunamis. According to the latest detection results, the intensity of this solar magnetic storm is several times greater than the previous ones. I fear we cannot cope."
A Saint Venerable realm expert said, looking as if he had lost his parents.
Due to the sacrifices of cultivators in Huaxia, Huaxia was the country that suffered the least.
It was these cultivators who, with their own flesh and blood, established protective formations for Huaxia.
They exchanged the lives and cultivation of nearly a thousand cultivators to ensure Huaxia suffered almost zero losses during the two intense solar magnetic storms.
However, now the cultivators were almost all wiped out, and even the formations could no longer be maintained.
But this solar magnetic storm was several times stronger than before. How could they resist it?
Everyone felt a sense of despair rising from the depths of their hearts.
In this vast office, which could accommodate three hundred people,
There were now less than thirty left.
And many of those who were qualified to sit here would never have the chance again.
The remaining thirty-odd people all exuded an aura of weary exhaustion.
Many had weak energies, and their souls were unstable, indicating that they had suffered significant internal injuries.
After all, these individuals were usually seen by others as powerful, influential, and awe-inspiring figures.
Ordinary people regarded them with reverence, as if they were gods.
But now, they were all in a sorry state, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness and insignificance.
This was a feeling they had long forgotten.
At this moment, they truly felt that they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, when facing such a cataclysm of heaven and earth, they were still as insignificant as dust, as powerless as ants.
"I say, Elder Li, Elder Huang, you two should make a decision! According to my calculations, the third solar magnetic storm will descend upon Blue Star tonight. If we don't make a decision soon, we'll all be doomed this time."
"If we're gone, we're gone. Haven't we lost enough fellow cultivators? The lives of a few old guys like us are no more precious than theirs. We've only lasted this long because of our strength. Afraid of death? Why cultivate if you fear death?"
In this tense and oppressive atmosphere, even these highly cultivated experts couldn't help but become impatient.
Without any preamble, the two old men started arguing.
Zhang Taixuan, the direct descendant of the Zhang family from the Heavenly Master Mansion, one of the most powerful families of the era, with white hair and beard and a Taoist robe exuding an immortal aura, said anxiously, "Who is afraid of death? Am I saying I can't die? All of us here can die. Cultivators have long since detached from life and death, but if we all perish, what about these innocent commoners?"
"Without us to resist the solar magnetic storm, who else can protect the world's common people?"
Another elder, the hidden ancestor of the Ye family, one of the four great families, was also at the Saint Venerable realm.
He puffed out his beard and said, "What can you do then? Talking like this is useless. Why don't you try to invite your founding ancestor, Heavenly Master Zhang, and see if he's willing to help the world through this great calamity?"
Zhang Taixuan said angrily, "Are you eating explosives? Your tone is so aggressive. Why are you yelling at this humble Taoist? If you have anger, go yell at the solar magnetic storm and see if it can be scared by you and not come to destroy us."
"Enough, stop arguing. Do you think things aren't chaotic enough?"
Elder Li spoke, his head aching as he chided the two.
He then said, "Things have reached this point. Arguing is meaningless. Let's save our strength and think of a solution."
"Alas, if this is destiny, all we can do is our best and leave the rest to heaven's will."
Despair filled everyone's hearts, and a strange silence fell upon them.
Everyone knew that they were helpless now, only able to passively await the sweep of the solar magnetic storm, and then either perish together or be reborn. Dafeng Novel Network.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Zhang Taixuan, unwilling to give up, took out his tortoise shell and copper coins and began to shake them. He intended to divine the fate of this catastrophe, to see if there was even a sliver of hope for them.
There were three thousand Great Daos, and Heavenly Evolution followed forty-nine. He refused to believe that there was no way out.
It wasn't just for himself, but for hundreds of millions of innocent commoners behind him.
He refused to believe that Heaven was blind and would allow so many lives to die unjustly.
The Ye family ancestor said, "I say, Daoist Zhang, don't waste your energy. What's the point of divination at this hour? Can you find a savior?"
