[Ding! Due to the unusual changes in the natural order, the system has been repaired ahead of schedule!]
The long-lost voice suddenly rang in Zhou Xingdou's ears, startling him and causing him to open his eyes, which had been closed for five days.
Before Zhou Xingdou could even express his surprise, the countdown began to tick away.
[10, 9, 8, 7...]
With each countdown, Zhou Xingdou's mind involuntarily tightened, until the countdown reached one, when a dense barrage of notification sounds suddenly erupted:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, the system's second repair is complete!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The system's multiverse travel function has been updated. You can now purchase travel opportunities in the Luck Points Shop!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Luck Points Shop has been updated, adding the existing card function and new items!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Due to the enhanced functionality of the system, you may now forcibly kill any remaining Chosen Ones who haven't cleared the air.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received system repair reward points!]
[Ding! The remaining panel has been updated and simplified. Please check it yourself.]

Zhou Xingdou looked at the familiar light screen that appeared in front of him and realized that his system had actually been successfully repaired ahead of schedule!
If it had been according to the original schedule, it would probably have taken another ten days or so to complete the repairs, even by the time of the coronation. Now, however, it has been completed nearly twenty days earlier, which is half the time. Zhou Xingdou was overjoyed.
The fact that the repair was completed ahead of schedule, according to the system, was due to an anomaly in the fortunes of heaven and earth, piqued his curiosity.
"System, what kind of anomaly has occurred in the fortunes of heaven and earth that could affect you?"
[Ding! The Qi of Heaven and Earth is in chaos. Those who should die have not died, and those who should live have not lived. Those who should be ruined have become kings and tyrants, while those who should be powerful have died unnatural deaths. As a result, the Heavenly Dao is in chaos, and the Qi of Heaven is in disarray. This allows the system to profit from this chaos and recover ahead of schedule.]
The system's voice was as usual, and the changes were not as significant as during the initial repair, but it seemed more willing to answer Zhou Xingdou's questions and no longer concealed anything.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou's eyes flickered, and the joy of the system being repaired ahead of schedule faded. He slowly asked:
"Is the chaos in the world's fortunes related to me?"
The chaos of the world's fortunes and the disorder of the Heavenly Dao is by no means a good thing for a world. Even for Zhou Xingdou now, not counting the premature revival of the system, it is still harmful and not beneficial.
The system continued in response:
[Ding! It's both related and unrelated. The host is stirring up the fortune in a localized area, but many unknown entities are also secretly adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, with the host's current abilities, even with the system's help, it would be far from enough to disrupt the fortune of the entire world.]
Zhou Xingdou's gaze narrowed slightly, and after a long silence, he spoke again, asking:
"Is this current chaos in the world's fortune the great calamity they speak of?"
Zhou Xingdou had heard the words "Great Calamity" more than once, but he had no idea what it was. If the system could answer that, that would be great.
The system answered all questions:
[Ding! A great calamity is indeed a great calamity, a tribulation for all living beings, and also a tribulation for the world. The chaos of the heavens and earth's fortunes and the disorder of the Heavenly Dao are the harbingers of the start of this great calamity.]
The chaos of the world's fortunes and the disorder of the Heavenly Dao are merely the prelude to the great calamity. What will it be like when the great calamity truly arrives?
The terror contained in the words "calamity for all beings" and "calamity for the world" far surpasses everything else. The great calamity that all beings and the world must face is probably an unprecedented disaster from which no one can escape.
This made Stephen Chow frown.
The current situation in the Primordial Dao Domain was already giving him a headache, and now the entire Primordial Origin is about to be engulfed by a calamity from which no one can escape. How could this not trouble him?
The system seemed to sense Zhou Xingdou's worries and spoke up proactively:
[Ding! Host, there's no need to worry too much. With the strength of the Primordial World, a great calamity cannot be brought about in a short time. Even though the world's fortune is currently chaotic, no major changes will occur for at least ten or eight years.]
Stephen Chow also raised his eyebrows instantly. Ten or eight years?
This immediately made him forget all his worries about the impending calamity.
Even considering Stephen Chow's short life span of three lifetimes, ten years is still a long time.
Moreover, given the speed at which his own power is advancing, it's unknown what level he will reach in ten or eight years. Perhaps by then, the great calamity will be something he can easily overcome.
[Ding! So, host, there's no need to worry. What you need to do now is plunder the luck and strengthen yourself. Even if there's no way to accelerate the arrival of the great calamity, it will still take at least a year and a half. With the system's help, even if you can't break through the calamity by then, you can still protect yourself during it.]
Zhou Xingdou nodded in agreement with the system's statement.
However, he never worried about his safety. The great calamity was not a big deal to his life. At worst, he could just stay in the Zhou family. With his grandfather Zhou Wuji protecting him, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
He worried that all his hard work and planning would be destroyed in the great calamity, and all his efforts would be in vain.
Now that Zhou Xingdou has figured things out, he is no longer worried, since the system's recent fix has brought changes and new features.
Only then did he carefully examine the light screen panel in front of him, but the panel was actually smaller than before, as if it had been streamlined during the repair.
The columns for recording rare and magical treasures and those recording people of good fortune have disappeared, and the Thunder Emperor's Throne in the system warehouse no longer displays any text.
Although it has been simplified, there are still many changes.
The section on "Crossing Worlds" also disappeared, replaced by the number of times cultivation techniques were fused.
Furthermore, in the talent and strength columns, each talent now has a star rating, and each realm now has a level rating.
I've always known about the star-level Zhou Xingdou, since the luck of those with good fortune is divided into star levels.
Zhou Xingdou never expected that his Punishment Heaven Dao Body would have seven stars, and even the Absolute Immortal Meridian, which he had only awakened the Absolute Sword Meridian, was as high as six stars!
It should be noted that even Lin Fan and Du Buhui's destiny as chosen ones was only rated as six stars by the system!
