The resurgence of underground fire is definitely a global disaster.
Ye Lan was so sure of this based on what Lei Ze had provided about the function of the Raw Stone of Heaven and Earth.
The original stone is his heart and also the core that stabilizes the earth.
In the past, the original stone was missing, but his body was still sleeping underground, barely able to stabilize the power of the earth's core. But now that he has left the underground, the entire earth's core will be unbalanced.
The end of the world is coming.
"Now that Great God Lei Ze is here, can't he cast a spell to stabilize the center of the earth?" Everyone broke out in cold sweats and tried to find a remedy.
Ye Lan glanced at Lei Ze who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, shook his head slightly, and said, "If there was a way, I wouldn't let you all come back."
Lei Ze originally sealed himself with the power of Father God, but now the seal has been forcibly broken and the power of Father God has disappeared.
"To stabilize the Earth's center, we must find the Stone of Heaven and Earth."
Everyone suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Originally, they were repairing the Heavenly Steps and Lei Ze was looking for the heart. They each needed what they wanted and could afford to spend dozens or hundreds of years on it, so they were not in a hurry.
But now it involves underground fire, a volcano that may erupt at any time, and things cannot be delayed for even a second.
However, "We don't even know the approximate location of the raw stone. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. How are we supposed to find it?" Everyone became anxious, but they had no idea what to do.
At this time, Ye Lan, who was standing in front of the map, spoke.
"It's not like there are no clues at all." Her voice was cold, and even at this moment, she analyzed calmly and steadily: "The closer the Lei Ze is to the heart, the stronger the induction will be. Although there is now a magic weapon blocking the connection between the two, the induction still exists. I suspect that the underground fire was revived by this induction."
Following her in-depth and simple analysis, everyone present suddenly realized what was happening. Their eyes lit up as they said, "In other words, the city where the first volcano erupted is most likely the location of the original stone. Doesn't that mean it's in Xidian?!"
"That's right." Ye Lan nodded slightly, confirming their guess. At the same time, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said slowly: "And we have always overlooked one thing. Besides the materials of the vessels, the most important tool for alchemists is fire."
fire.
"It's the Earth Fire!" This time, without her needing to guide them further, the elders, their eyes gleaming with excitement, had already reached their conclusion. "To create a magical instrument capable of suppressing the Stone of Heaven and Earth, the tempering of Earth Fire is essential. Therefore, the mastermind behind this must reside near that volcanic belt. All we need to do now is find the Kate family's businesses around the volcano and eliminate them one by one. With a high probability, we'll be able to find them..."
Before he finished speaking, several people had already split up and opened their computers to search for relevant information.
They have always worked well with Ye Lan, and at times like this they can help her share a lot of work.
After things were arranged, Ye Lan also followed the veins of the volcano and used Xiao Yunting's connections to send a video conference invitation to the country where he was.
Because the situation was urgent, Ye Lan planned to ask Xiao Yunting's assistant to provide remote assistance.
"Miss, President Xiao is actually over there..." The assistant was already extremely busy contacting leaders from various countries for a meeting. Upon hearing this, he said without hesitation, "It will be much simpler and more efficient to let President Xiao communicate with the leaders."
The boss is over there, and one word he says is worth a hundred words from a small fry like him, which is definitely more time-saving and labor-saving.
Ye Lan also understood, but considering Xiao Yunting's current physical condition, she pursed her lips and said, "It's still you..."
Before she could finish the word "come", her phone was grabbed by a hand and the connection was cut off.
With a beep, the voice on the other end disappeared.
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the instigator, frowning slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
Who would come to cause trouble when you are so busy?
The moment she raised her eyes, she saw a handsome poker face, and felt a bit helpless as expected. Just as she was about to ask the god what he wanted, she looked into the other's deep and bottomless pupils and lost her mind for a moment.
"Xiao Yunting..."
She called out unconsciously.
The man in front of him heard this, and his cold expression softened. He replied in a low voice, "Well, I'll take care of the meeting."
He raised his hand and gently stroked the ends of Ye Lan's hair.
As if a tense nerve had been soothed, Ye Lan's spine, which had been stiff since the morning, finally relaxed a little. She leaned her head against his chest, gently closed her eyes, and asked, "Can you hold on that long?"
What if the second personality comes out?
"No, I promise." Xiao Yunting's voice with a hint of tenderness sounded in her ears. He patted her with his hand to soothe her emotions.
Ye Lan immediately realized that it was Lei Ze who helped suppress the second personality.
For some reason, Xiao Yunting and Lei Ze don't get along.
Although they never said it explicitly, Ye Lan could still feel it keenly, so he never asked Lei Ze for help in solving Xiao Yunting's problem.
She was somewhat surprised that the god would take the initiative to help.
But Ye Lan felt much better knowing that the person she liked could appear normally and fight alongside her.
Twenty minutes later.
On the projection screen, twenty-one heads of state, including China, appeared in the same conference video.
Among them are hostile countries, some with territorial disputes, some with which we have just fought a war, and some with which we dislike each other due to uneven interests. Any international media outlet would be shocked and exclaim in disbelief if they saw this scene.
But today was a matter of life and death, so they didn't argue or mock each other.
The entire scene was eerily silent, with countless pairs of eyes fixed only on the girl at the other end of the video and Lei Ze sitting on the side.
"Mr. Xiao, is the information you sent to me true? Do you know how widespread the eruptions of our three volcanoes are, and how much manpower and resources it will take to urgently protect nearby residents?"
One of the leaders raised a question.
This is also the feeling of everyone when they receive the news that a volcano in the country is about to erupt and ask everyone to sit down and prepare for the evacuation of all citizens.
This kind of large-scale disaster evacuation not only creates a financial burden but also creates panic.
If the person who sent the message had not been Xiao Yunting, they would not have appeared in this meeting at all.
After all, only a madman would believe that volcanoes were erupting in twenty-one countries.
At the conference table, Xiao Yunting had a blank expression on his face.
He was well aware of the pros and cons weighed by these superiors. In the past, they would haggle over a single weapon for an hour or two. Now, convincing twenty-one leaders to give orders at the same time would be a waste of time and money, and it would be impossible to do it just by talking.
So, without further ado, he spoke directly in a cold tone, "Let's sign a bet. For now, I'll cover all the costs of your evacuation. If the volcano doesn't erupt, I lose. But if it does, the country will have to pay you back tenfold."
Discussing interests at the negotiation table is the fastest way to achieve cooperation.
Moreover, Xiao Yunting gave the best conditions in one breath.
Even if the volcano did not erupt, the evacuation cost for a volcano would start at at least 1 billion yuan. But if the volcano really erupted, the post-disaster reconstruction would cost more than 10 billion yuan. The social disorder caused by the panic of the masses alone would be enough to give the authorities a headache for several years.
