"Dean, according to incomplete statistics, hundreds of planets have already aligned due to the gravitational pull of those nine large planets."
"In about a month, these planets will form a straight line, and the sun's rays might pass directly through this alignment to our Blue Star."
A specialist analyzed the scene before them.
"This could result in our Chinese plants being directly exposed to sunlight, potentially causing severe damage to the ecosystem."
Another expert chimed in.
"If this situation persists for three days, China's ecosystem will face a disaster."
The dean spoke slowly, his brow furrowed.
Normally, Blue Star is surrounded by an ozone layer, and other celestial bodies shield it from solar radiation in multiple layers.
However, if all these celestial bodies converge into a single line, the shielding would be gone, and Blue Star might turn into a roasted planet.
"However, there's also a chance it won't happen. Our Blue Star's ozone layer can withstand it for several days."
An expert offered.
"These are natural laws. Nothing has happened for billions of years; it should be fine this time. Our current technology is far from being able to move planets."
Someone else remarked.
This rare, once-in-a-millennium event occurring now was causing widespread panic.
In the past, without astronomy, perhaps such emotions wouldn't have arisen.
Ignorance breeds fear, as they say.
Meanwhile, at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, a miraculous place.
It is precisely because of the existence of such a place that the people of China have kept their jobs.
"Professor Liu, look quickly! Why are the plants we planted growing so much faster? We only planted them yesterday, and they've already sprouted overnight."
"Seriously, what the heck, are plants growing this fast now?"
In a field, countless people exclaimed in surprise.
Nearby, an old man watched the scene with a look of disbelief.
"These are all old varieties, yet they're growing so fast. What exactly went wrong?"
The dean muttered, his eyes filled with confusion.
Following this strange phenomenon, peculiar events began to occur worldwide.
The scene shifted.
Zhang Tian and the others had emerged from the cave.
After Zhang Tian entered the demon tower, Fatty and the others had already found a way out, making their journey relatively smooth.
Zhang Tian and his companions gasped at the sight outside.
Zhang Tian, now recovering his senses, looked at the vast expanse of white before him, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
"This... so much snow. Did it snow heavily?"
Fatty's mouth twitched as he looked at the snow, which was taller than him.
What was going on? They had only been gone for a short while, and the snow was already this deep outside.
He looked back; the cave had completely collapsed, and there was no sign of the way they came.
"This might not be snow."
Zhang Tian spoke.
As Zhang Tian finished speaking, everyone looked over, with Fatty's expression being the most animated.
"Holy hell, boss, you're finally awake. Do you know how much Fatty suffered waiting?"
Fatty spread his arms, almost hugging Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian pushed him away.
"Is everyone alright?"
Zhang Tian looked at everyone.
Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, Wu Tianzhen, and the others seemed to be fine.
"Boss, the first thing you do upon coming out is care about us. Fatty is truly miserable."
"If I have a choice in reincarnation, Fatty will definitely choose to be a girl and find you."
Fatty wailed, tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Tian decisively ignored him.
There was nothing serious to be heard from that guy.
"Brother Zhang, are you alright?"
Shirley Yang asked with concern in her eyes.
Hu Bayi also looked at Zhang Tian with concern.
Zhang Tian waved his hand.
"I was dazed by the shockwave just now, but I'm fine now."
"It's good that everyone is safe."
"Let's find our way out first."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Seeing that Zhang Tian was unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, you have no idea how worried everyone was after you went in. We were worried you'd be in danger inside, and also worried you'd be partying."
Fatty rambled on.
Wu Tianzhen and Wang Banyue also came closer.
Both of them looked at Zhang Tian.
They were also a little curious about what Zhang Tian had experienced inside.
Zhang Tian touched his nose.
Good heavens, the word "partying" had come out. Was Fatty that forward?
However, seeing the gazes of everyone, Zhang Tian had no choice but to speak.
"I encountered some things inside, which is why I took so long to come out. Also, I met the Queen Mother of the West."
Zhang Tian said.
"What?"
Everyone's faces showed surprise.
Zhang Tian actually saw the Queen Mother of the West? That legendary woman.
How could this not be astonishing?
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
"Boss, was the Queen Mother of the West the same as the one on the statue?"
"Young Master Zhang, was that woman very fierce?"
Both Fatty and the other asked Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian pondered.
"Somewhat. She looked the same, and her power was immense. Although it was a clone, it was still very dangerous."
As Zhang Tian spoke, he looked at Zhang Qilin.
"However, the biggest gain this time is for Qilin. A lot of his memories have been restored."
Zhang Tian said with a smile.
Honestly, Zhang Qilin's memory recovery made him happier than his own cultivation increasing.
Zhang Qilin nodded.
"Yes, thank you everyone."
After speaking, Zhang Qilin fell silent.
"Holy hell, is that true? Brother Two has recovered his memory?"
"Brother Two, do you still remember the first time you held Fatty's hand?"
Fatty looked at Zhang Qilin with a smile.
"I don't remember."
Zhang Qilin replied.
He thought for a long time and couldn't recall ever holding Fatty's hand.
"Boss, Brother Two is alright. Brother Two finally remembered."
Fatty was extremely excited.
Hu Bayi twitched his mouth. Was that a rhetorical question?
"It's good that Brother Two is fine. You've just come out, so rest for a while. We'll set off in a few days. I'll also try to find a route."
Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian had just come out and naturally needed to rest and recover from his injuries. Moreover, with the heavy snow blocking the mountains and avalanches burying the landscape, finding a path was impossible.
Hu Bayi also needed to find an accurate route.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"I also have some things to attend to. Old Hu, I'll leave the matter of the route to you."
"I might be out in a few days."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Everyone nodded.
Wu Tianzhen also took out a shovel and began digging in the snow beneath their feet.
If they wanted to set up camp, they couldn't stay on the snow; they had to clear it away.
Meanwhile, Hu Bayi began calculating their position.
Shirley Yang helped out, and everyone began their tasks in an orderly fashion.
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and he vanished from the spot.
He intended to go to the illusory space.
First, he needed to see what the illusory space was like now. At the same time, Zhang Tian had to deal with the bead left by Hu Xue.
Zhang Tian was unsure how the fox clan within the bead viewed Hu Xue's death.
Furthermore, Zhang Tian was also hesitating about whether to tell those fox tribes about the real world and the true events.
