The next day.
The headquarters held a press conference, which was a grand event. All major television stations broadcast it, and various media outlets attended. The scale of the event was exactly the same as when Fang Xiu announced to the world the existence of strange phenomena.
The entire Xia Kingdom, and even the world, are watching with great interest and curiosity about what earth-shattering statement Fang Xiu, the Xia Kingdom's captain, will make this time.
Legends about Fang Xiu have been circulating all over the world, but Fang Xiu rarely makes public appearances. Apart from the last time he was broadcast live nationwide and the siege of Mount Ling, he spends most of his time either behind the scenes or raising Taotie in various spatial nodes.
Because he rarely makes a move, and only when he does, it's in high-level matches, and he doesn't play many high-level matches, he rarely appears in the public eye.
Unlike the minister at headquarters, who holds press conferences all the time to explain the latest regulations for spirit masters or to inspire and reward brave comrades in major bizarre events.
They even hold a poll to select the top ten most touching spirit masters in Xia Kingdom.
Even before the nationwide live broadcast began, major live streaming platforms and television sets were already packed with people, making it a spectacle that has captured global attention.
This is the significance of the prophet Fang Xiu, the number one spirit master in the world!
As the time reached 10 o'clock, the previously empty live stream screen changed, and Fang Xiu, dressed in the black combat uniform of the chief captain, appeared on the screen.
He remained as calm as ever, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He glanced at the reporters surrounding the audience and the countless cameras, then slowly spoke, his calm voice resonating throughout the world.
"I have some news to announce."
His voice was strong and resonant, clearly reaching the ears of every citizen of the Xia Kingdom.
Everyone perked up, knowing that every appearance of the prophet meant something big was about to happen, and they were prepared to be shocked. However, when Fang Xiu announced the news, they clearly overestimated their psychological resilience.
"One month later, the other side will launch a full-scale invasion, and the world will be plunged into apocalypse."
The conversation was very calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if they were discussing what to eat for dinner.
However, the previously somewhat noisy venue became completely silent; you could hear a pin drop!
Not only the venue, but the entire Xia Kingdom, and even the whole world, fell into a brief silence, as if someone had pressed the button to stop time.
In front of the television, a family of three is gathered.
"Son, look! Captain Fang has appeared!" the middle-aged woman exclaimed excitedly.
The son said with slight dissatisfaction, "Why call him Captain Fang? He should be called the Prophet."
"Very well, prophet."
"Son, you'll be taking the Spirit Master exam next month. Captain Fang might be talking about the new enrollment policy this time, so listen carefully."
The son grew increasingly impatient: "I know, I know, how annoying! The prophet is my idol. I remember every word he said. And why would the prophet hold a press conference to talk about such trivial things as student recruitment?"
A middle-aged man standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore: "Son, how can you talk to your mother like that? She's just concerned about you."
"Son, have some milk to nourish your body, so you can try to get ashore next month!"
"Sigh, you just spoil him."
The son didn't take the milk, saying, "What's the use of drinking milk? Spirit Masters look at the soul."
"Okay, okay, Mom will buy you some zinc supplements tomorrow."
son:"........"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Captain Fang is speaking."
Fang Xiu's calm voice came from the television.
"One month later, the other side will launch a full-scale invasion, and the world will be plunged into apocalypse."
Snap!
The milk in the middle-aged woman's hand instantly fell to the ground.
The previously noisy family fell into dead silence in an instant.
Such a scene is happening in thousands of households.
Everyone was stunned by Fang Xiu's words.
They had expected Fang Xiu's announcement to be shocking, but it was even more shocking than they had imagined; it was enough to shatter people's hearts.
After a brief silence, a reporter broke the calm at the press conference.
"Captain Fang... Captain Fang, you just said... the world will end in a month?"
"Yes." Fang Xiu nodded calmly: "That's right, the end of the world."
The reporter was clearly stunned, and even somewhat incoherent: "No, Captain Fang, what scientific basis do you have for what you're saying?"
"My words don't need scientific basis, because I've already seen the future."
These words, once uttered, were like a resounding bell, deafening and decisive, leaving no room for further doubt.
Shock, panic, despair, anticipation, and other complex emotions began to permeate the room.
In front of the television, some people with weak psychological resilience even broke down in tears, hugging the people around them.
Of course, such people are only a minority; most people doubt that they have misheard, and some even doubt that Fang Xiu's prediction was wrong.
After a brief silence, the press conference descended into chaos as reporters rose to their feet, microphones in hand, anxiously asking questions.
"Captain Fang, how can we avert the end of the world?"
"Is the invasion from the other side truly unstoppable?"
What are headquarters' next steps?
"Has the headquarters built a refuge against eerie phenomena, like an air-raid shelter?"
"The Other Shore is the origin of the supernatural. How many supernatural phenomena do you predict will appear during this full-scale invasion of the Other Shore?"
Reporters bombarded the public with questions. At that moment, they were not only asking questions for the people, but also for themselves, since no one could escape the end of the world.
