When the needle made that sound, everyone's body tensed up, and their scalps felt numb as if they had been electrocuted.
The citizens of other worlds didn't know, but they had participated in the defense of the asteroid from beginning to end.
They clearly knew how big the disaster this time was.
Even the Earth would collapse if such a huge planet were to hit it.
The extent of the disaster was greater than the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Even the IBI director Li Xini, who had fought against transnational criminals many times, broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.
He closed his eyes, and his arms trembled slightly.
Only the "ticking" sound of the needle could be heard.
"…"
"…"
"…"
One second, two seconds … Ten seconds passed, and there was still silence.
Nothing happened.
Li Xini heard the sound of fireworks and the cheers of people celebrating the New Year outside.
It was as if there was no difference between yesterday and the thousands of days that had passed.
Li Xini opened his eyes suddenly.
Then, he saw four big red words appear on the monitoring screen of Norton University.
It jumped three times in a row.
[Crisis resolved!]
[Crisis resolved!]
[Crisis resolved!]
At the same time, the monitoring screen showed the trajectory of the asteroid with a radius of more than 100 kilometers.
It passed by the rotating Earth perfectly.
At the position closest to the two planets, the screen marked the shortest distance —
0.01m！
Li Xini was stunned at first, then he immediately stood up. His eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Wrong, wrong?! "
But just a second ago, the asteroid was still heading straight for Earth!
Even the researchers in the World City had no way to avoid this disaster.
What was going on?
Anthony jumped up. "Hahahaha, it was a false alarm, don't die, don't die, I'm going to fly a plane!"
He ran out happily, so excited that he even lost his shoes.
Li Xini wiped the sweat on his forehead and pinched himself.
In the end, it was confirmed that nothing happened.
That was because Anthony was still an idiot who had gone off the rails.
At the same time, at Norton University.
The vice president collapsed on the ground, and his legs were trembling.
The other professors and astrologers were not any better. Their faces turned pale and red.
After a long period of silence, the vice-principal looked up and sighed, "F * ck!"
He didn't die!
Ying Zijin must have done something!
The vice-principal immediately got up and went to the broadcasting room to comfort the students.
Although the students of Norton University were all lunatics who only thought about how to blow up the asteroid, they were still a bunch of lunatics.
"Tinglan!" Adele hugged Wen Tinglan. "It's okay. We're fine!"
They hadn't slept a wink in the past few days.
Although the surrounding asteroids had been blown up, no technology could deal with the largest one.
Right now, the asteroid had just brushed past them. It was truly beyond all understanding.
"That's great." Adele kissed his right cheek. "Tinglan, you're amazing."
This kiss caught him off guard, and even the youth's earlobes turned red from the heat. "… Adele, stop fooling around."
"I'll go find some cupcakes." Adele let go of him. "Wait for me. I'll bring your favorite dessert over."
After saying that, she ran out happily.
Wen Tinglan's cheeks were still red. His body was tense for a long time before he managed to relax.
When he came back to his senses, he immediately sent a message to Ying Zijin.
[Sister, I'm fine. Everyone's fine.]
Outside.
On the bustling streets, many people came out to celebrate the new year.
The capital was very lively.
Until people heard a "boom" sound, like the roar of an airplane.
They all looked up at the same time.
As soon as they looked up, they saw the huge asteroid flying past, covering the moon and the other stars.
"Mom, mom!" A little girl jumped up happily. "Meteor! Look, a meteor! "
The woman who was grabbed was also very surprised. "Yeah, what a big meteor. It feels like it's going to fall."
She even had a phobia of gigantism.
But fear couldn't suppress curiosity. People took out their phones and began to take pictures.
They had never seen such a big meteor before.
Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen stood at the top of a tall building, overlooking the bustling international metropolis.
She raised her hand slightly and caught a snowflake floating down.
The snow fell on the girl's shoulders and hair, dyeing her eyebrows and eyes white.
Fu Yunshen raised his hand and brushed away the snowflakes for her. "Let's go. We still have to go to the ancient martial world. Get dressed."
He habitually put on a scarf for her.
He often did this when she was still the Wheel of Fortune.
Ying Zijin turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Mr. D, I'm the world now."
"Yes, the world." Fu Yunshen pressed his forehead against hers. "My little friend of the world, please move."
As long as the Sage World existed, this world would never be destroyed.
On January 1, 20XX, the original doomsday was broken again.
Monitoring centers in various regions detected that on January 1, an asteroid with a radius of up to 140 kilometers broke into the solar system.
It was perfectly staggered with a distance of only 0.01 meters from the Earth.
If this asteroid hit the Earth, the resulting explosion would wipe out the entire human race.
Scientists had different opinions about this, but no one could explain this strange scene.
In the end, it became the world's unsolved mystery.
Only a small number of people knew the whole story, but they would keep the secret forever.
**
In the ancient martial world.
There was no celebration of the New Year. Instead, it was noisy and hostile.
"What do you want to do?!" The old ancestor of the Ling family angrily scolded. "Miss Ying and the others are fighting against the enemy. At this time, you still want to fight among yourselves? Are you bullying your own people? “
No one would have thought that the Yue family, who had always been low-key, would choose to attack other ancient warriors at this time.
It was simply crazy!
"Miss Ying?" The head of the Yue family stroked his beard and smiled. "I forgot to tell you that Fuyi is the Sage Trial. She is the strongest sage. Do you think she can still live if she kills Ying Zijin?"
When this sentence was said, the ancient warriors' faces changed.
They had long known about the existence of the World City. They also knew about the sages.
The sages had a very long lifespan and were almost immortal. They were comparable to gods.
Fui Tsuki was the strongest sage?!
But why did she want to kill Ying Zijin?
The head of the Yue family was confident. "Ying Zijin is dead. No one will protect the Ling family and the Lin family. Lin Qingjia has gone to the Martial Arts Alliance. Why can't the Yue family control the ancient martial world?"
They had always been low-key.
But after knowing that Fui Tsuki was so powerful, their desire to control the ancient martial world was stirred.
Ying Zijin was indeed the ancestor of the ancient warriors. But no matter how strong she was, could she be stronger than Fui Tsuki?
The head of the Yue family did not waste time with the others. He directly ordered, "Kill those who resist. Let those who obey take an oath. When the time comes, Fuyi will support us. They will not dare to act recklessly."
The remaining guards of the Yue family were mobilized. There were a total of three thousand people.
However, just as they stepped forward.
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard.
"Puff puff —"
In just a moment, all the guards of the Yue family fell to the ground. They could not even get up.
The Yue Family Head's body flew out and crashed into a tree.
The tree also broke.
"…"
The surroundings were silent.
The ancient warriors were stunned.
The smoke dispersed, and a figure appeared.
The girl was slender and tall. Her steps were light.
Her eyes were like a painting, as ethereal as the clouds in the distant mountains.
Without any embellishments, she was already breathtakingly beautiful.
The ancestor of the Ling family was slightly stunned. He immediately shouted in surprise, "Miss Ying?!"
"Our ancestor is back!"
"I knew Miss Ying would be fine!"
Around them, the other ancient martial art practitioners were also excited.
Ying Zijin turned around and looked at the Patriarch of Yue Clan and the Patriarchs of Yue Clan lying on the ground.
At the moment when they saw her, everyone in the Yue family widened their eyes.
The head of the Yue family was even more frightened. He screamed in a heart-wrenching voice, "No! Fuyi is clearly … "
"Are you talking about Fui Tsuki?" Ying Zijin lowered her head. Her expression was indifferent. There was no fluctuation in her voice. "Unfortunately, she was killed by me just now."
Before Fui Tsuki left the ancient martial arts world, he did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
Indeed, he had the intention to destroy the world.
"Take care of them." Ying Zijin did not look at the head of the Yue family and nodded slightly to the ancestor of the Ling family. "Don't worry, I will be fine."
The ancestor of the Ling family gave a fist salute. "Yes, Miss Ying."
**
Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen left the ancient martial arts world and went to two other places.
She found the reincarnation of the magician and Saro Victoria.
At this time, the magician and Saro were just babies who had just been born.
Ying Zijin stood beside the cradle. Her eyes narrowed, but she still said, "Take it away."
The special power of the Sage World was activated once again. The power of the Sage Magician and the Sage Empress disappeared completely.
Only two ordinary babies were left.
When the two of them returned to the Ji family's villa in the capital, it was already half past two in the morning.
Wen Fengmian, Lu Yuan, and Su Wen were already resting.
Ying Zijin did not disturb them. She picked up a phone call and went upstairs.
It was Zuo Li on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Ying, a miracle, this is a miracle!" Zuo Li's voice was full of excitement. "Did you know that just now, the Astrophysical Center published a report about a huge asteroid?"
"Many scientists are going crazy. They don't know how this asteroid brushed past the earth. I can't figure it out either. I thought I was going to die."
Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed.
She looked out the window for a long time and smiled. "Then it's worth it."
Zuo Li did not understand. "Mr. Ying, what are you talking about?"
"I'm saying …" Ying Zijin leaned against the computer chair and said softly, "As long as you're still here, it's all worth it."
"I'm here, I'm here. But my hair is gone." Zuo Li's expression was serious. "Mr. Ying, this is such a good topic. You must write a thesis!"
Ying Zijin's expression instantly changed. "… I'm hanging up."
She turned on the hands-free mode and turned on the computer. She logged into the NOK forum.
A group of idiots were still posting on the forum.
[I told you, those who believe in fortune-tellers will live forever!]
[0.01m, almost. We're all doomed.]
[How can a fortune-teller be wrong? I'm not afraid. While you're worried about the end of the world, I'm still at home watching anime.]
[@ Please Eat Medicine]: You scared me to death. I was so scared that I didn't even put on my clothes.
[Boss, didn't you go to the International Virus Center? Don't you have any clothes to wear? Oh yes, I want to buy some sunscreen.]
Ying Zijin propped her head up and raised her eyebrows.
It seemed that everyone else's life was normal.
After browsing through these posts, she opened her personal diary and slowly typed out the first line.
[Year 20XX, 1st January, the ninth apocalyptic disaster, we survived unscathed.
Perhaps I can only feel true love when I'm among the crowd.
I can see parents and children celebrating the New Year, brothers helping each other, and lovers falling in love under the moonlight.
I think that feelings are the most sincere existence between people.
With feelings, I can love the whole world.
I don't know if someone will see what I've written a long, long time in the future.
If you see it, please remember a few people.
Mr. Fool.
Miss Temperance.
Mr. Justice.
Miss Strength.
Mr. Death.
In order to protect our home, they left a long, long time ago.
But they never regretted devoting their lives to this land that they loved.
I'm lucky to be with you, standing on the land where they lived, looking up at the Milky Way that they once saw.
This story is very long, and it might take me a long time to finish writing it.
If everyone has the patience to listen, I'll write it down one by one when I'm free and tell you what happened.]
Next to the computer, a few portraits were placed together. The five sages in the portraits were smiling like flowers.
Ying Zijin turned the portraits to the window so that they faced the world outside.
The perfect night of the New Year was not over yet. The nightlife of the Imperial Capital had just begun, and it was brightly lit.
Fireworks bloomed one after another, turning the night into day. It was bright and dazzling.
Ying Zijin looked up at the starry sky with a dazed expression.
She remembered that a long, long time ago, when she was still the weak Wheel of Fortune, The Fool came to give her a book.
At that time, it was an era of frequent disasters.
The sages kept blocking the disasters and dying. After reincarnating, they continued to block the disasters.
No one was able to rest.
At that time, she said, "Grandpa Fool, in the future, there will definitely be no more disasters. This world will be beautiful. We can also rest and travel around."
This was her wish all along.
After hearing this, the old man laughed heartily. Obviously, he did not think about this.
After laughing for a while, he asked her, "Little Fate, can I still see what you said?"
Even the wisest man, The Fool, could not guarantee that this day would not come.
At this time, she could finally answer this question.
"Yes, you can see it."
From now on, I'll be your eyes. I'll see the world for you.
Ying Zijin typed the last sentence of the diary.
[I hope that you can see the current peace and prosperity.
The world that we protect with all our hearts is still bright.
The sun rises, and the day is still bright.
And our story has finally come to an end.
Whether or not there will be disasters in the future is not something we need to consider now.
Cherish the present.
Live in the present.]
Ying Zijin finished writing the last word and closed the computer.
She looked up. It was late at night. There was a gentle breeze, mixed with the singing of nightingales and the faint fragrance of flowers.
The moon hung high in the sky, and the stars were bright.
Thousands of families had quietly fallen asleep. It was quiet and beautiful.
Everything was over.
Ying Zijin turned her head and looked at the man sitting on the sofa.
He was wearing pajamas and a pair of rabbit ears that she had forced him to wear on his head. He was holding the Celtic mythology book in his hand.
This attire added a bit of fire to him.
It accentuated his devilishly handsome appearance, and his temperament was elegant.
A long, long time ago, she liked to look at him like this.
She liked to listen to his voice and listen to him tell her the stories that happened in various places.
And now, they could finally rest and be with each other forever.
Fu Yunshen heard the movement.
He closed the book and looked up. His peach blossom eyes curved. He reached out and held her hand. "Finished writing?"
"Yes." Ying Zijin stood up and stretched lazily. She sat on his lap.
She poked his broad chest and pressed her head against it. "Yes, I'm done. Little devil, what are we going to do now?"
Fu Yunshen lowered his head and kissed her gently. Then, he deepened his kiss.
After a long time, he looked up and chuckled. "We're going to get married."
**
The cold winter is gone, and the golden age is eternal.
Tonight, the moon meets the stars, and the flowers reflect the new snow.
I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you.
