Chapter 501 The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth (1)
"How are the preparations going?"
Qin Wu looked at the group of ministers.
Over the years, the Great Qin Dynasty has been preparing, and after tens of millions of years, changes have begun to occur in the world.
This also means that a great calamity is about to begin.
"Your Majesty, we are all ready."
All the ministers knelt on one knee.
"Everyone get up!"
"The world is beginning to change, and the great calamity has begun. Be careful, everyone."
"This catastrophe is probably even more terrifying than we imagined!"
Qin Wu waved his hand, and the ministers rose.
He could sense that this great calamity was about to claim the lives of countless people.
Those present did not know how many people would survive.
Even he himself was not absolutely certain that he would survive this great calamity.
"Your Majesty, is this great calamity really that dangerous?"
"We've prepared so thoroughly, how can we not guarantee success?"
Qi Ye was somewhat puzzled.
He also voiced the question that was on everyone's mind.
You should know that over the years, they have used up all their resources in preparation for the great calamity of heaven and earth.
They even continued to send people into the Chaos to search for more treasures.
Even so, His Majesty still felt it was not enough.
They truly couldn't understand just how terrifying this calamity was.
"Since it is a great calamity of heaven and earth, how can it be so easy to overcome?"
"The calamity energy between heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger, it's probably coming soon."
Qin Wu looked up at the sky and said coldly.
Others couldn't sense it, but he, as a powerful being at the God-King Realm and the master of the Qin Heaven Realm, could.
Moreover, the speed at which the calamity energy gathers is getting faster and faster. Once the calamity energy becomes dense enough, the great calamity of heaven and earth will descend.
However, Qin Wu felt uneasy because he didn't know what this great calamity was.
"Your Majesty, shall we continue preparations?"
Qi Ye asked.
Since His Majesty has said so, it must be extremely terrifying, and he no longer dares to underestimate it.
"Continue the preparations, and each of your tribes must strengthen the management of their fiefdoms to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Liu Qiu, we should also get rid of those rats overseas, don't let them have any chance to take advantage."
Qin Wu nodded and gave his orders, finally instructing Liu Qiu to eliminate those ascended forces with disloyal intentions.
With such a great calamity looming, he absolutely could not allow any problems to occur.
Of course, all potential problems must be eliminated to prevent them from causing trouble.
"Subordinates take orders."
Liu Qiu stood up and accepted the order.
"You go first!"
Qin Wu waved his hand, signaling Liu Qiu to step back first.
"You may all step down! Continue preparations, and remember to keep a close eye on all areas, lest we be caught off guard and suffer a setback."
Qin Wu then looked at the others and gave them a warning.
"Yes."
The ministers accepted the order.
"Go back!"
Qin Wu waved his hand, and everyone was escorted out of the main hall.
In the time that follows.
Local reports are sent in from various places every month.
Qin Wu frowned slightly as he looked at the intelligence reports sent from various places.
"It seems that a great calamity has arrived. Issue orders to all regions to strengthen patrols, and no one below the level of a god shall leave the area at will."
"Order all local government offices to immediately inspect all subordinate towns and villages within their jurisdiction. Report any problems, big or small, immediately. Anyone who dares to conceal anything will be executed without mercy once discovered."
Qin Wu immediately gave the order.
There are now many cases of mysterious disappearances in various places, and the reasons for the disappearances cannot be found.
This is no small matter.
The weakest beings who can survive in the Qin Tian Realm nowadays are all at least Immortal King level.
The fact that they could all disappear without a trace means that what caused their disappearance is definitely not simple.
"Yes."
The guards received the order and went to convey Qin Wu's decree.
With Qin Wu's decree, investigations into the matter began in various regions.
It would have been better not to investigate, because once we did, we discovered something was amiss.
Quite a few villages have vanished into thin air without leaving a trace.
"Very well, what were the local officials eating to grow up like this? So many villages have disappeared, and they didn't even know? Have I been too lenient with them all these years?"
Qin Wu slammed the memorial onto the imperial desk.
He never imagined that, without his knowledge, tens of thousands of villages would be lost across the entire territory of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Although they are scattered in various places and are not conspicuous.
But the number of people is not small; they are all citizens of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Qin Wu couldn't just watch them disappear like that.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The Grand Secretary immediately knelt down.
He never expected such a big thing to happen.
"Calm down? Tens of thousands of villages, each with at least ten thousand people? Do you even know how many people that is?"
"How can you expect me to calm down?"
Qin Wu stared coldly at the Grand Elder.
"Your Majesty, we have already arranged for people to thoroughly investigate this matter. We will have news soon, and the matter will be resolved quickly, giving Your Majesty and the people an explanation."
The Grand Secretary was now drenched in cold sweat.
He hadn't seen Qin Wu angry in a long time, but he knew very well that every time His Majesty got angry, it would result in rivers of blood.
"I'm giving you a month. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, you can retire as Grand Secretary."
"Get out and investigate."
Qin Wu dared not waste too much time.
He had to find out the reason why those people had disappeared as quickly as possible.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make the arrangements immediately."
The Grand Secretary accepted the order and withdrew.
"Liu Yun, how's the investigation by the secret guards going?"
After the Grand Elder left, Qin Wu summoned Liu Yun.
"Your Majesty, the investigation is still ongoing. These vanished villages are extremely mysterious; they seem to have disappeared into thin air."
"However, it wasn't without any gains. By reversing time, we discovered a power different from the one we used. It was a very negative power that could affect the minds of others."
Liu Yun reported.
They have been investigating the matter since they received the intelligence.
Surprisingly, even they couldn't find much useful information.
"Negative forces? Influencing people's minds? How interesting! Speed up the investigation, and if it doesn't work, send Liu Yu over."
Qin Wu sneered.
He now has some guesses about the great calamity.
However, further confirmation is still needed.
"Yes, I will send the message to Liuyu immediately."
Liu Yun immediately accepted the order and withdrew.
"Go!"
Qin Wu waved for Liu Yun to step back.
"A great calamity of heaven and earth? What exactly is a great calamity of heaven and earth?"
Qin Wu frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.
He really didn't understand what this great calamity of heaven and earth was.
Over the years, he had been trying to figure out what this great calamity of heaven and earth was, but he had never been able to.
The secrets of heaven are in chaos, and nothing can be comprehended.
This made Qin Wu feel very uncomfortable; he disliked things that were out of his control.
"Oh well, we'll find out sooner or later anyway. Let's focus on improving our strength now!"
Unable to see through it, Qin Wu prepared to continue his cultivation.
He believes that as long as one is strong enough, one can face any crisis without fear.
