Chapter 95: A Meteor from Beyond the Sky
[Ding!]
On this day, across the entire Douluo Continent, every sentient being suddenly heard a clear notification sound in their minds.
Those who had experienced this before immediately understood the Q&A session had begun again.
And this time, it was a rare public Q&A!
Since the Q&A system appeared, public Q&As like this had been exceptionally rare.
Most Q&As were targeted, either at individuals or select groups.
But fully open Q&As, where everyone could participate, had only happened three times before.
This was the fourth.
[The Q&A session has begun!]
[This session is an open Q&A all sentient beings may participate and answer!]
[Those who answer correctly will receive generous rewards!]
[Those who answer incorrectly will face corresponding punishments!]
[Please answer carefully!]
After the announcement, everyone who heard the prompt felt their consciousness pulled into a strange space.
Their perspective shifted into a divine, omniscient viewpoint, and they began watching a live broadcast.
The first thing they saw was a deep, vast night sky.
The view zoomed in, bringing the stars into sharper focus.
It kept magnifying, piercing through the atmosphere, revealing the true appearance of the twinkling stars.
But the result was disappointing.
[Wait, is this what the stars actually look like?!]
[They're all… full of craters? So ugly!]
[But they look so beautiful from down here… why?]
[Maybe it's because they're so far away?]
[Wait, does this mean… Douluo Continent is actually a sphere?!]
[How strange… why don't we fall off?]
[I don't get it…]
For the first time, the people of Douluo Continent saw their own world from space.
They finally realized the world wasn't flat. It was round.
A massive, spherical planet.
This shattered their previous understanding of the world.
Most people were left speechless, completely stunned by this sudden revelation.
They couldn't comprehend gravity.
They couldn't understand why they weren't falling off the planet.
To them, it was simply absurd.
Yet, the broadcast continued.
From the far reaches of space, a brilliant meteor streaked across the void, leaving behind a trail of blazing fire as it raced toward Douluo Continent!
[So this is what a meteor really looks like? It's just… a giant fireball?!]
[Wait… that thing is coming straight for Douluo Continent!]
[Eh, no big deal. Meteor impacts have happened before.]
[But… this one seems way too big…]
[Yeah… that thing is massive.]
The meteor plunged through Douluo's atmosphere, its fiery tail illuminating the sky as it rapidly descended!
The perspective shifted the scene now showed an endless ocean.
Above, the entire sky turned a deep red as the meteor's flames reflected across the sea.
The once serene waters were bathed in crimson, as if the sun itself had fallen from the heavens!
The sheer heat was unimaginable.
The ocean began to boil instantly!
Countless fish and sea soul beasts thrashed in agony
In mere moments, they were all cooked alive!
Then
BOOM!
The meteor collided with the ocean!
A colossal explosion erupted towering waves rose thousands of meters high!
A dense cloud of steam engulfed the entire area, obscuring the ocean's surface.
And then
BOOOOM!!!
An even more devastating explosion roared from the depths of the sea!
The meteor had punched through the ocean's surface, plunging straight to the seafloor.
Its terrifying force actually pierced the seabed itself!
A massive crater was left behind.
Cracks sprawled outward across the ocean floor, extending for countless kilometers.
And then, from the gaping hole and those endless fractures
Molten lava erupted.
The seafloor had been breached.
A subterranean volcano had been awakened.
Though the lava cooled instantly upon contact with water, the scorching heat spread rapidly throughout the entire ocean.
In an instant, the surrounding waters boiled violently!
Steam shot into the sky, shrouding the entire region in an impenetrable fog.
The sheer destructive power of nature left the viewers in utter shock.
Even Titled Douluos even Qian Daoliu himself felt insignificant before such absolute power.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Even the chat fell silent.
But the disaster wasn't over.
The underwater volcano kept erupting.
The cracks continued to spread.
The lava kept rising
The ocean boiled endlessly
Countless marine soul beasts were wiped out.
And, most terrifying of all
The eruption was spreading.
It wasn't stopping.
It was expanding.
As if it wanted to engulf the entire ocean.
[This is insane!]
[A volcano?! In the ocean?!]
[That meteor just drilled through the seafloor and triggered a volcanic eruption!]
[This is a catastrophe!]
[And it's only getting worse!]
The camera suddenly shifted.
The scene transitioned from a burning hellscape…
…to a paradise on Earth.
A stunning island emerged.
Greenery flourished under a gentle, eternal spring.
A pristine beach stretched beneath the golden sun.
The sand sparkled like crystal grains, reflecting silver light.
The azure sky was pure and boundless
The ocean's surface was calm and endless
Seagulls soared freely, filling the air with their joyful cries.
It was a breathtaking sight.
[What a beautiful place… where is this?]
[No idea. Some island in the sea, maybe?]
[Why did the scene suddenly shift here?]
[This is Sea God Island!]
[Wait… "Sea God"? Is this related to a god?!]
[I've heard of it. This island is definitely connected to a deity.]
The perspective zoomed in, reaching the island's center.
A grand temple stood tall and majestic.
Inside, a woman in a flowing crimson robe sat upon a high seat.
Her long, sea blue hair cascaded behind her, framing a gentle, elegant face that seemed forever youthful no older than thirty.
But her deep blue eyes told a different story.
They held immeasurable wisdom.
They radiated kindness yet concealed an unfathomable depth.
Those eyes… belonged to someone far older than thirty.
Right now, she watched anxiously as a black robed man delivered his report.
"High Priest, the southern ocean region has been devastated by the falling star!"
The black robed man's expression was grim.
"And the worst part…"
"The volcanic eruptions are still spreading!"
"At this rate… half the ocean will be poisoned and boiled away!"
