This global catastrophe lasted for a full fifteen days. When the catastrophe ended, people were greeted by a brand new world—the new Blue Star was born.
September 1, 2099, is a date that will be remembered in history as a symbol of Earth's rebirth and the beginning of the interstellar era.
In China, the government acted swiftly immediately after the earthquake, launching a large-scale earthquake relief effort.
At the same time, they also began planning and implementing a series of post-disaster reconstruction plans. Under the unified national plan, local governments and the military cooperated closely and worked together to ensure the smooth progress of all tasks.
It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the miraculous effect of the defensive array, the cities suffered almost no substantial damage in this disaster.
However, those areas that suffered the most were rural and remote. Town and village houses, highways, and other major transportation routes were almost entirely destroyed.
Fortunately, the government had anticipated this situation and took timely measures to evacuate and properly resettle the residents of the towns and villages to nearby large cities.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Uncle Qin, please rest assured! There won't be any major earthquakes in the next ten years. Moreover, Earth will usher in a new era of vitality, and the spiritual energy of the entire planet will gradually recover. This is undoubtedly fantastic news!"
Inside the Cloud Pavilion, Jiang Wanwan sat on the tatami mat, earnestly explaining to Qin Ze on the other end of the phone.
"That's good. We really owe a lot to your Xiaoyao Sect this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid our human civilization wouldn't have been able to continue. Wanwan, we really have to thank you this time!" Uncle Qin said excitedly.
“Uncle Qin, you’re too kind. We’re all family, so helping each other and getting through this together is the most important thing,” Jiang Wanwan replied with a smile.
"By the way, Wanwan, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you. Considering the current situation in China and the needs of other countries, the government has decided to recall the disciples who are currently learning skills at the Xiaoyao Sect."
"Then we arranged for them to go to various places to support the reconstruction of towns and villages, and to help those severely affected areas restore normal life as soon as possible," Uncle Qin said earnestly.
“Of course, no problem, Uncle Qin! I fully understand the government’s decision. In addition, our Xiaoyao Sect is very willing to contribute our share to participate in this post-disaster reconstruction work. After all, we are all citizens of China and should work together to overcome difficulties.”
Jiang Wanwan patted her chest and assured him.
After concluding the conversation, Jiang Wanwan began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
Apart from those soldiers who responded to the call of the nation, received orders from their superiors, and left quickly.
Jiang Wanwan also arranged for disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect to go to the disaster-stricken areas to help with post-disaster reconstruction and restore the daily lives of residents in towns and villages as soon as possible.
"One of the guiding principles of our Xiaoyao Sect has always been: to take the world as our responsibility and to seek the well-being of all people. Therefore, I hope that everyone can go all out in this post-disaster reconstruction and demonstrate our strength and responsibility!" Jiang Wanwan looked at the disciples who were about to set off and gave them a final pep talk.
The disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect nodded in agreement and shouted the slogan, "United as one, we will rebuild our beautiful homeland!"
Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan each led a team and set off quickly.
Just outside the city's boundaries, the roads were littered with fallen rocks, hillsides were cracked into jagged shapes, and riverbeds were dry and cracked. The further away from the city, the more severe the damage became.
Everyone watched with trepidation.
Soon, they used their unique skills to help repair houses, roads, and bridges.
Among them, the disciples with water elemental roots used water escape techniques to introduce clear spring water into the dried-up riverbed; the disciples with earth elemental roots used earth-based techniques to fill in and reclaim the collapsed land; and the disciples with wood elemental roots summoned large swaths of green vines to cover the barren mountains, bringing vitality to the landscape.
The disciples with fire and metal spiritual roots were not to be outdone. They used the power of fire and metal respectively to melt the damaged roads and rebuild solid building structures.
With everyone's joint efforts, the originally dilapidated scene gradually became brand new.
In addition, there is another thing worth noting. After this natural disaster, many plants and animals also underwent strange changes.
They appear to have become more ferocious and aggressive, actively gathering together to form large groups and occupying vast tracts of land as their own territory.
These changes are unsettling because their existence could pose a threat to human society.
Although there have been no reports of them attacking humans yet, according to the principle of natural selection, over time, when they become powerful enough, they may very well see humans as competitors or food sources.
Therefore, clearing away the mutated plants and animals has become an important task in this post-disaster reconstruction.
Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the disaster-stricken areas are gradually recovering. People are beginning to replant crops, repair houses and infrastructure, and life is gradually returning to normal.
The actions of the Free and Unfettered Sect have won widespread respect, earning them the reputation as the world's number one sect in the cultivation world. Their prestige and influence have been greatly enhanced, making them heroes in the eyes of the people.
While China has gradually returned to normal life, other countries are still mired in misery.
Countries around the world have suffered severe blows and damage, social order has been disrupted, and people's lives have become extremely difficult.
However, the Chinese people did not stand idly by. Yan Ziyan led a small group of disciples from the Xiaoyao Sect, together with the People's Liberation Army soldiers dispatched by the national government, to go overseas.
They are committed to saving the world and determined to help other countries overcome their difficulties.
Moreover, many Chinese non-governmental organizations have also actively responded to the call and joined the ranks of international aid.
These organizations include charities and volunteer groups that voluntarily travel long distances to provide aid and support around the world.
The capital of country T.
The once bustling city has now been reduced to ruins, and the wreckage and broken buildings scattered everywhere evoke endless sorrow.
Yan Ziyan arrived with his disciples on their swords, and the scene before them was heartbreaking. The once towering buildings had been reduced to ruins, leaving only rubble.
On the ground, makeshift shacks were everywhere, and people wore tattered clothes with numb faces, as if they had lost all hope for life.
Some people are still rummaging through the ruins, trying to find something useful.
"Mom, there are gods!"
A clear, childlike voice suddenly rang out, breaking the atmosphere filled with helplessness and despair.
Everyone looked up at the sky. A group of people draped in auspicious, seven-colored clouds appeared on the horizon, slowly flying towards them.
