First, volcanoes around the world erupted frequently, spewing out many colorful beads of various shapes from the craters, like jewels and jade. Some people waited specifically to collect the beads after the volcanic eruption was over. After the beads solidified, they were crystal clear, round and smooth, and extremely beautiful.
Some of the beads were identified by experts as rare gemstones, worth a lot of money, while others were of little value, just beautiful in color. However, because there were so many of them, some people started to buy and sell these beads in the market, which created a trend. During that period, many people living near the volcano made a fortune from those beads.
The extraordinary events began with the circulation of these beads; each bead from a volcanic eruption was a different color. After someone collected at least seven different colored beads, the beads turned into a beam of light and disappeared into their body, causing a strange change in their physical condition.
Some people can summon wind and rain, some can breathe fire, some have extremely strong physical resilience, and some can breathe freely in water like a fish.
However, these widely circulated messages on the internet were quickly determined to be fake news and disappeared.
Then other anomalies appeared: frequent tsunamis occurred on almost every coastline, with no discernible pattern, causing enormous damage worldwide.
Many springs have sprung up all over the world. What springs gushed out was not just water, but all sorts of liquid-like substances that looked like melted chocolate. These substances flowed out, froze, crystallized, and turned into colorful, jade-like substances.
There are many more of these small, strange, and unusual occurrences.
The biggest change was that the sky above had changed, as if a huge dome had been placed over it, covering the entire world. At first, people were panicked. They didn't know how this dome had formed. Politicians, business leaders, and environmentalists blamed each other, believing that the disaster was caused by environmental degradation.
But later, people accepted this fact, because the cover seemed to be a phantom and did not have a great impact on people's lives. Rockets could still be launched as usual, and probes could still pass through the cover to observe it.
Finally, the conclusion was that changes may have occurred inside the Earth's surface, which were then projected onto the surface of the atmosphere as a phantom image.
Qi Ran remembers very clearly that during that period, the TV in the dormitory was showing various experts' interpretations of the matter, and Qi Ran thought so too at the time.
Until one day, the dome that was thought to be a phantom became real, and a huge face appeared on it. The face had three eyes, which coldly looked down at the humans and revealed a strange smile. On that day, everyone was stunned.
The giant face quickly disappeared, and a dazzling rainbow light slowly emanated from the dome. Those who were illuminated by the rainbow light fell unconscious. After waking up, most of them awakened superpowers. Some unlucky ones, perhaps less illuminated by the rainbow light, did not awaken superpowers, but their physical abilities were greatly enhanced. Those who were not illuminated by the rainbow light were pierced by the black granular substances sprinkled down from the rainbow dome and were eventually devoured by those black, worm-like things until nothing was left.
