Chapter 982 - 8: Waterworld

Qu Fengbai and Zhou Chaoyang led their team to a perilous location to retrieve experimental equipment.

The place was a clear water region. Beneath the water lay numerous sleeping giants that were awe-inspiring at first glance. They had to shut off the engine and row the boat with the lightest motions to avoid waking the giants below.

Yet, there was still a sound.

The giants beneath the water awoke and rapidly surged towards the surface.

Qu Fengbai and his team started the engine, hoping to quickly escape these giants.

However, how could these mutated giants be so easily evaded? The sight of the wind wolf stirred up by the giants was about to engulf Qu Fengbai’s small boat. Suddenly, everything fell silent.

All the wind and waves froze in place, not only did the giants underwater stop moving but even the ones leaping out of the water were suspended mid-air.

It seemed someone had stopped time.

But Qu Fengbai’s team could still move.

"It’s a god!" Qu Fengbai shouted excitedly.

"It’s Tianmiao, she’s helping us!" Zhou Chaoyang shouted excitedly as well, "Hurry, hurry, quickly grab the equipment and let’s go."

Soon, Qu Fengbai and his team collected the experimental equipment they needed and quickly left the perilous water region.

"Thank you." Qu Fengbai and Zhou Chaoyang stood at the bow of the boat, gazing at the overcast sky, deeply grateful.

"We will surely restore the world’s former beauty!" Zhou Chaoyang clenched her fist, her face resolute.

"We will!" Qu Fengbai turned to her with a smile.

Zhou Chaoyang returned the smile, nodding firmly.

...

"Can they restore the world’s former beauty?" Kong Hou asked in front of the mirror. Her master had just assisted these two again. These two were indeed the ones with the world’s fortune, but why did she feel their fortune wasn’t very strong? Could there be others with fortune in this world?

"Who knows." Tianmiao didn’t directly answer Kong Hou’s question but stood up slowly and said, "Kong Hou, go now, inform Chaos to prepare for time leap."

"Alright." Kong Hou nodded and hopped away to find Chaos.

Dong Xiao watched Kong Hou leave, hesitating to speak.

"This is Kong Hou’s trial, but also her fate." Tianmiao seemed to have noticed Dong Xiao’s quandary, turned to her gently and said, "All things must grow, even the little chubby girl, she must go through these."

Dong Xiao understood, nodded: "Yes, master."

The time leap lasted just a moment.

But Kong Hou never returned; she vanished from the ship.

Tianmiao unfolded the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, revealing a different scene.

This world had already progressed five hundred years.

The giants had all disappeared; originally, Qu Fengbai’s medicine was extremely effective. A single bottle the size of a thumb, when released into the water, began to diffuse. The giants slowly died off. The world’s waters were vast, so spreading took some time. Although it took a while, it successfully eliminated all the giants.

Humans ceased to face the threat of giants and finally began to rebuild their homes.

However, even without the giants, the water did not immediately recede.

Zhou Chaoyang became the leader of the Twin Fortresses, and after Qu Fengbai rescued the world, they married and became the leaders of this world.

However, during Zhou Chaoyang and Qu Fengbai’s lifetime, they never saw sunshine, green trees, or flowers. Their descendants were also excellent, continuing to lead humanity in their efforts to change this world.

Technology also rapidly advanced.

The floods ultimately subsided.

Yet, the world developed in ways completely unexpected from the initial hopes.
