Chapter 917: Advance

Shang Jianyao was overjoyed. He lifted his hands, raised his body slightly, and looked at the ceiling. Everything is but a dream. Why so serious?

Upon seeing this, Chen Wen rubbed his temples with his right hand and said, Everything is illusory!

You arent from the Clam Dragon Church? Shang Jianyao asked as though he was no stranger.

Chen Wen felt the room shake slightly and casually replied, Im from the Lost Dream Church.

At this moment, Liu Chuan carried Flora. Another New World powerhouse with an intact body carried Barnard. The others were also prepared.

Shang Jianyao seized the opportunity to ask Chen Wen, Whats your Holy Communion?

We dont have Holy Communion; its all illusory. Chen Wen calmly emphasized, Everything is illusory.

Shang Jianyao immediately lost interest in the Lost Dream Church and asked, Did you see that photo in the compound?

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

What photo? Chen Wen asked.

Lin Suis photo. Shang Jianyao was very surprised. He then came to a realization. Dont you know that its Lin Sui?

I didnt see any photos at all, Chen Wen replied truthfully.

He didnt care too much about this. After all, everything was illusory.

Shang Jianyao was just about to describe the details of the photo when Liu Chuan looked around and said, Everyone, the signs have appeared. Lets rush to the tower now. We cant miss this opportunity.

He led the way, carrying Flora on his back. He ran to the bas.e.m.e.nt entrance and opened the dark iron door.

The others didnt hesitate and filed out, following behind Liu Chuan.

Shang Jianyao ran to keep up and overtook the rest. He then slowed down and fell to the end of the team, clearly struggling internally.

We havent completely figured out the New Worlds problem and arent sure which side we should stand on Shang Jianyaowho believed in justicemuttered to himself anxiously.

Thats right, thats right. Another Shang Jianyao echoed him. We havent even figured out if its a good or bad thing to help these people escape the New World, yet the chaos has already begun!

The ruthless Shang Jianyao scoffed. From the information we have so far, its really possible that the New World was created by the Kalendarium to protect the Ashlands. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for so many New World powerhouses to mess around in reality without any restrictions.

Not necessarily, retorted the calm and rational Shang Jianyao. After the initial chaos, those New World powerhouses will compromise with each other and form a new balance.

As they spoke, they kept running at the back of the team and followed them out of the special building.

At this moment, the shaking of the ground became more and more obvious. The houses by the street creaked.

Whoos.h.!.+

A squall swept over.

The rash Shang Jianyao ignored his peers struggles and said without any psychological burden, Not everything will begin after you are prepared and have thought it throughsame for the chaos here! In the face of such a situation, we can only act before talking!

Chen Wenwho was running beside Shang Jianyaoheard him mutter to himself the entire way. He didnt interject and only glanced at Shang Jianyao.

To him, everything was illusory. It was fine to chat and kill time when he had the time. As for now, it was none of his business.

After running a few more steps, the calm and rational Shang Jianyao said, Its time to inform Big White of the signs of chaos.

No Shang Jianyao objected to this matter.

As they ran along the increasingly shaky road, they diverted some attention and released their strength to search for human consciousnesses around their body.

Jiang Baimian, who was taking a nap, suddenly dreamed of a monster. It opened its mouthwhich was filled with sharp teeth dripping with bloodand bit her head.

With a throbbing pain, Jiang Baimian woke up. She quickly understood what was going on and swiftly extended her mind to touch Shang Jianyaos consciousness.

After the same old darkness appeared and condensed into a faint glow, Jiang Baimian saw the running Shang Jianyao.

Her consciousness was forced to run as well.

The next second, Shang Jianyao shouted, The signs have appeared! The chaos has begun!

Jiang Baimian had been waiting for this opportunity. She slowly took a deep breath and said, Then, I have to enter the real New World and approach the vortex-like building.

But we arent sure which side to help! Shang Jianyao was very vexed. I dont know if I should help Flora, Barnard, and the others escape the New World or maintain order here and wait for the chaos to end

Jiang Baimian calmly said, This is because we dont know the New Worlds essence or the root cause of the problem.

Therefore, it was unknown how breaking the New Worlds order would affect reality.

Thats right, thats right. Shang Jianyao agreed deeply.

Jiang Baimian had long considered this problem as she chose her words. This is actually an opportunity. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the New World has its own order. The imprisoned people have no way of knowing how to advance, nor do they know what the Kalendarium are thinking or doing. This makes your investigations always go in circles.

Once the chaos begins, order will definitely collapse. Many things hidden under such order will be exposed, and you can take the opportunity to restore the truth. It wont be too late to make a choice when the time comes.

Smack!

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm. Why didnt I think of that!?

Jiang Baimian immediately ended the conversation. Alright, dont waste your energy. Warn me if there are any changes.

Alright. Shang Jianyao waved his hand.

After disconnecting, Shang Jianyaos attention was focused on the chaos.

Clang! Clang!

The houses by the street constantly shook as if they couldnt bear the burden. The gla.s.s windows rattled as if they would shatter at any moment.

Thin and obvious cracks appeared on the ground, clearly visible under the street lamps lit up by Liu Chuan, Flora, and the others.

In the surrounding darkness, the street lamps representing other New World powerhouses either went in the opposite directiondistancing themselves from the toweror stayed in the building they were originally in. They didnt dare to move and could only wait. Others slowly move toward the tower as if they wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Shang Jianyao ran faster and faster, surpa.s.sing Chen Wen and the others and arriving in the middle of the team.

This position made it easier for him to observe the situation ahead and see if he could find the answers to certain questions from the collapse of order.

The gap between them and the tower wasnt that big to begin with. With the increasing intensity of the earthquake, they came to an area that few people usually entered.

Just as they pa.s.sed a certain borderline, Liu Chuan and the others gazes froze at the same time.

Here, not only was the tower itself brightly lit, but the buildings around it also seemed to be a galaxy that had fallen into the human world.

The entire team instinctively stopped, and the weak Liu Chuan blurted out, How can there be so many New World Awakened

The lights here were more than the New World powerhouses outside the core area combined!

Usually, this scene couldnt be seen from the outside. It seemed to be hidden by the tower.

Boom!

A building beside them collapsed from the earthquake, and a deep and hideous rift appeared in front of Liu Chuan and the others.

Whoos.h.!.+

A storm riled up, making everyone sway a little.

At this moment, a man slid out of an apartment-like building on the other side of the rift with his wheelchair. He was of Red River ethnicity.

He wore a white s.h.i.+rt inside and a blue sweater over it. A brown blanket covered his lower body. He looked to be in his forties, and his hair was clearly grizzled. He had a very elegant bearing.

The man came to a spot nearly 20 meters away from everyone and swept his light-blue eyes across them before asking loudly, What are you guys doing here?

Barnard replied shakily, Vice President, we want to enter the tower. You only have two choices: Move aside or die!

Hes the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes Vice President? Shang Jianyao muttered to himself.

Vice President placed his hands on the wheelchair and said mockingly, You know nothing. You will only bring disaster to the Ashlands!
