When this system announcement sounded out, the entire world was shaken. Now, even an idiot knew that the world was going to be destroyed, and the rumors from before were actually true. There was only a month left before the world was destroyed, and the entire world was panicking, not knowing what to do.
The world, which had been on the brink of collapse, finally went out of control. Even countries could not control it, and money completely lost its value. If the world was destroyed, what was the point of holding onto paper money? It was just a pile of useless paper.
People started to use gold, silver, and jewelry to trade. This was the most common method of trade in this chaotic world, as gold, silver, and jewelry would not depreciate in value at any time. However, no one knew how the real world would be destroyed, and no one knew if they could bring the gold and silver to the Heaven Awaken World.
If they could not bring it to the Heaven Awaken World, it would be useless. Moreover, the Heaven Awaken World had its own currency system, and the gold and silver had depreciated in value and could no longer be used as currency.
Exchanging for other goods was now an ordinary method of trade. The world, which had been developing so quickly and had a complete technological currency system, had now become a primitive method of trade.
The most important thing was that no one went to work, as the world was about to be destroyed. Almost everyone in the world went on strike, and all production stopped. Transportation was completely paralyzed, and the reason for the riots was because of the lack of resources.
Now, the military was unable to suppress the people who were looting resources, as there were simply too many cities. As such, the real world had fallen into chaos, and the strong preyed on the weak. It was the survival of the fittest, and there was no moral order to speak of.
When people did not have enough to eat, they would do anything, even eating other people. Ordinary families did not have that many resources, and it was almost impossible for them to last for a month. Now that the currency system had collapsed, how could people obtain resources? They could only rob others.
The military could only suppress a portion of the rioters and could not suppress all of them. Some people said that humans were able to unite and help each other in the apocalypse, but this was quite childish. After all, when there were plenty of resources, people could reason with you and would not rob others.
Once there was a shortage of resources, only the strong could obtain them, and the weak could only die or steal from even weaker people.
In actuality, if they had not rioted and followed the way the world had operated, it would not have been so chaotic. However, most people had lost their rationality and only cared about the benefits in front of them. Who would care about anything else?
Were those people stupid? It was the same for you in that kind of environment, because no one wanted to starve. The real world was about to be destroyed, and the law was no longer effective, so the deterrence it brought was naturally gone. What about a world without law?
This kind of riot came from human nature. Usually, it was only because of the deterrence of the law. If there were no legal constraints and they had to rely on human self-discipline to manage, how could a country be maintained? It was completely impossible.
Sometimes, it couldn't be said to be stupid, because it was already the general trend, and no one could stop it. No one wanted to starve, so they had to become a member of the mob. Otherwise, they could only starve.
With the collapse of the real world, the number of casualties skyrocketed, and the country concentrated its military forces to protect a small portion of the region to maintain order. This chaos was mainly caused by ordinary people, but the upper echelons of the world were not affected much.
This was because the upper echelons of the world had long since known that the real world would be destroyed, so they had long since made preparations. As such, they naturally did not fall into chaos, and they continued to eat luxurious food and drink expensive wine. Zhao Fu was one of these people.
Zhao Fu did not care too much about the destruction of the real world, as it would not affect him much. Facing Wu Qingniang's words, Zhao Fu decided to tell her first because his identity would definitely be revealed when the real world was destroyed. If she found out, it would be even worse, so it was better for Zhao Fu to tell her personally.
"Qingniang! Because of the current situation, I'm very sorry that I lied to you about something, "Zhao Fu said seriously and apologetically.
Wu Qingniang lightly harrumphed, "I knew you were hiding something from me; why are you telling me now? What is it? Don't tell me about the other women. I've long since known about this, and I've been looking for an opportunity to teach you a lesson. "
Zhao Fu awkwardly smiled and replied, "It's not about that. Let's meet in the Heaven Awaken World, and I'll tell you everything."
Wu Qingniang felt quite confused and had never thought that there would be something so important that Zhao Fu would be so serious. After thinking about it, Wu Qingniang agreed.
Because the Zhou Dynasty was in the southern part of the Midland Continent, Zhao Fu decided to meet her there. Wu Qingniang brought 20 or so of her personal guards, all of whom were valiant-looking female soldiers, and waited for Zhao Fu at a secret location.
After Zhao Fu returned to the Heaven Awaken World, he first told this matter to a noble, graceful, and domineering woman. After all, this matter was related to her, and with her help, things would be much easier to resolve.
The beautiful woman was quite angry and lightly hit Zhao Fu a few times, saying, "Who would have thought that you wouldn't even spare my Legatee; you're so evil."
Zhao Fu could only dryly laugh and say a few more words. In the end, the beautiful woman agreed and was willing to go with Zhao Fu to resolve this matter.
"Your Majesty! May I ask who you're waiting for? It's been more than two hours; why hasn't that person come yet? How disrespectful for someone of your status to wait for so long. "
One of the female soldiers looked at her Majesty and felt quite angry. No one had ever made her Young Madam wait for so long.
Wu Qingniang lightly smiled as she replied, "He's been delayed by something and will be back soon. Even though he's not a Legatee, he's even more prestigious than a Legatee. In actuality, in front of him, my status is only so-so. Make sure to be careful when you speak later."
Hearing this, the female soldier felt quite shocked and felt quite confused as she asked, "What's Your Majesty's status? He's not a Legatee and is on equal footing with you; this subordinate can't think of such a person."
Wu Qingniang turned and sweetly smiled as she said, "You might not know him, but you might know someone else. That person is the world-shaking Legatee Qin, and he's Legatee Qin's representative in the real world. He controls all of the Ying family's power and has an extremely high status in Qin."
