Some of the messages came from Jingcheng's parents and relatives, while others came from Wei Sijian in Beidu, Cao Qian in Shanghai, and Zhao Keyi, who had returned to his hometown on an island to visit relatives...
Everyone's conversation revolved around asking Chen Qian if he had seen any unusual phenomena in the sky, or trying to get information from him.
As the youngest martial artist in China in public, and the number one genius among Chinese martial arts college students, many people would subconsciously think that Shen Qian would be able to access more inside information.
Before sinking, I went online again and saw that all the major forums and short video apps were exploding with discussions about this sudden "major upheaval".
Perhaps because everything happened so fast, there has been no official explanation yet.
"The sudden disappearance of Pingyang Bo and Yu Shouji must be because of this incident. It seems that some warning message has been released among the groups in the mountains and seas..."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian made a phone call to Shi Dingyan.
The call was answered after several attempts. Once he picked up, Shi Dingyan didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Do you want to know what's going on in the sky?"
"Yes, does Third Senior Brother know what happened?" Shen Qian heard the swirling wind coming from Shi Dingyan's side, clearly indicating that he wasn't indoors, so he quickly replied.
"It's not clear yet. I just received a warning from the Martial Arts Department and am currently patrolling and guarding outside Jingcheng."
Shi Dingyan did not hide anything.
Shen Qian suddenly realized why Yu Shouji and the others had left in such a hurry; they must have been carrying out some kind of duty under the instructions of the Martial Arts Department.
"Besides the unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth, are there no other anomalies?" Shen Qian was still puzzled.
His impression of the restricted area had always been one of chaos and disorder, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a uniform, continuous dark cloud.
"As far as I know, no, but... this could just be a sign."
After a moment of contemplation, Shi Dingyan spoke slowly.
"An omen?" Shen Qian was taken aback. "What does that mean?"
“A similar phenomenon occurred more than a hundred years ago,” Shi Dingyan said.
"More than a hundred years ago?" Shen Qian frowned, then suddenly realized something, his body trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The seven stars aligned, and the ten gates opened?"
This is a piece of history that is only briefly mentioned in textbooks, and I first learned about it from Qu Bai.
One hundred and twelve years ago, the human race faced a great disaster when ten "gates," all of which were at least grade B, opened simultaneously.
That catastrophe changed too many things. According to Qu Bai, the Candle Dragon that once swallowed Lu City whole also appeared during that disaster.
"I can't be completely sure either, because although there were strange phenomena in the heavens and earth more than a hundred years ago, they could only be seen in the Yellow River basin at that time. There has never been anything like this that affects the whole of China."
Shi Dingyan's words carried a hint of heaviness, "Perhaps..."
Perhaps Shi Dingyan didn't say, but Shen Qian simply looked up again. This time, with golden light flashing in his eyes, Shen Qian directly activated the Eye of Truth.
His gaze seemed to pierce through all obstacles, directly seeing the essence of the black mist.
The black mist was composed of strange, pitch-black particles. Although it was far away and Shen Qian did not know what these black particles were, he could feel the intense tearing force contained within them.
His gaze continued to pierce upwards, quickly passing through the black mist and crossing the heavy clouds, reaching the very top of the atmosphere.
Here, the vast starry sky is on full display.
But Shen Qian gasped in shock.
Because in that starry sky, at a glance, there were hundreds of stars shining brightly, like powerful lights controlled by some kind of switch, constantly alternating between dimness and brightness.
That rhythm... was just like human breathing.
And each time they blaze brightly, they dim the other stars in the star field.
"one two three……"
Shen Qian subconsciously counted them once, and then his mood became even heavier.
A total of one hundred and eight stars!
If Shi Dingyan's words are true, and this is indeed a warning of some kind of disaster, and it is similar to the "Seven Stars Alignment" of 112 years ago, does that mean that this will be an even greater catastrophe?
The alignment of the seven stars caused the ten gates to open; what will the 108 stars bring?
I couldn't even imagine what it would be like before I sank.
He looked at the star field before him again. The 108 stars, some dark and some bright, were scattered among it. When he zoomed out, they vaguely formed a strange pattern.
Shen Qian didn't know what the picture was, but after staring at it for a long time, he began to experience a series of sharp pains in his mind, and his consciousness began to blur.
Sensing danger, Shen Qian dared not look any longer. He memorized the diagram firmly in his mind, then closed his eyes and returned to his body with his almost drifting consciousness.
After a feeling of weightlessness, as if falling from a building, Shen Qian opened his eyes again, his body staggering briefly.
Shi Dingyan's phone call had ended sometime earlier, and military professors had begun to appear in the square, dispersing the gathered students.
Seeing this, Chen Qian did not linger any longer. If this was really just some kind of omen, then it was estimated that there would be no new changes in the short term.
...
Time flew by and it was already evening.
Inside Villa No. 7 at Jiangzhong Military Academy's South Campus, Shen Qian stood on the rooftop, gazing blankly at the now tranquil night sky.
The midday commotion lasted for more than half an hour before the weather formation of Jiangzhong Military Independent was repaired.
The weather systems that were affected across the country were gradually repaired in the following hours, but Shen Qian knew that this did not mean that the strange phenomena in the sky had disappeared; it just meant that ordinary people could no longer see the true view of the sky.
