Chapter 113 Part 1: The Savior Learned the Truth and Collapsed Coughing Up Blood (1)

"Dazzling Stage".

This global idol talent show plan has been widely discussed online since its first promotion, due to the extremely expensive underground base and a series of black technology promotions, leading to continuous speculation of various conspiracy theories.

But throughout,

Chu Yuanqing didn’t need to think too much. She was a dying person who just wanted to earn a few months’ salary, spend precious time with her daughter, and then meet death without regrets.

This should have been the conclusion that should have arrived 17 years ago.

Chu Yuanqing had waited too long. Every breath she took while her soul still lingered endured the pain of heartbreak and bone digging curses. For someone like her, the conclusion was never worth grieving over, it was just a relief to finally rest in eternal sleep.

That’s why she could ignore the grandiose mega project like the ignition base.

That’s why she could disregard the gradual involvement in the soul realm and developing the brain’s potential with the "Heart Flow".

So, she didn’t care that "Dazzling Stage" was like a illogical attic in the air, where a lot of money was spent on absurd plans.

But the fading of this Moebius pendant was like a heavy blow that shattered her self-woven cocoon of understanding, making all the overlooked details flood into her mind like a tide.

– There’s an issue with "Dazzling Stage".

This is a neutral literal assessment.

Whatever the hidden purpose of the mastermind behind it may be, the core reason behind this plan, and the ultimate goal, couldn’t possibly just be creating an epic world girl group.

Chu Yuanqing picked up the lantern pendant, pondering its faint spirituality, as if having an epiphany.

The material of the Moebius pendant was similar to the magical girl’s lantern, not only capable of absorbing and storing magical substance but also forming a link with the soul when worn, for a bond with its owner.

This process is actually harmless, and the earlier phenomena are easily understandable.

Since the lantern is considered the essence of the magical girl, its presence itself is the manifestation of the soul.

The necklace links to the soul, actively linking to the lantern, which is a clear challenge and violation. Being still in its early stages, it will naturally be broken down by the lantern’s consumption.

Chu Yuanqing muttered to herself:

"Even though Lin Jiu gave the necklace, only the ‘Dazzling Stage’ official has the energy, power, and motive to do this."

Looking back now, all these things had signs beforehand.

Dream Weaver Rabbit said that the mysterious gift for themselves, the endorsement reward for Grade A players, and the extra earring endorsement for Little Sakura given by the director were all to find a reasonable excuse to bind these magical tools to favored players.

The more Chu Yuanqing thought, the more uneasy she felt.

These actions may not show malice or goodwill in the short term, but are enough to prove that "Dazzling Stage" is no longer just a pure idol talent show.

But the key question is, what is the specific role of these magical tools? What reasons have prompted governments worldwide to support this plan, promoting it to hundreds of countries and attracting billions of people as an audience base?

The former is still unknown.

The latter, with its grand facilities in the underground base and its worldwide presence, is about to emerge.

– The end-of-the-world crisis.

Chu Yuanqing almost immediately thought of the truth that she least wanted to accept.

From an end-of-the-world perspective, planting a competition site in a super-first-tier city, building an underground base, and even making a country host a "Dazzling Stage" sub-project selection show, indeed makes sense.

Daxia’s strong national strength and large population led to the construction of such magnificent underground shelters in the two main cities of Sea City and Kyoto.

Some countries are not economically developed enough and lack the technological level to build underground shelters.

However, due to humanitarian reasons and the inability to ignore the situation, the forces led by the Donghong Federation and the Sacred United Country are responsible for providing financial, material, and technological support to build an underground shelter.

– Idols saving the world?

– Is a talent show program related to the safety of all humankind?

These are important and not important.

The key question is, is the so-called crisis related to the disaster beast?

Thinking of this made Chu Yuanqing freeze like triggered keywords. Her delicate and beautiful face turned icy, and as she looked up at the mirror, her eyes shattered into fiery gold, as if some self-restraint shackles were breaking apart.

The girl closed her eyes and tried hard to control the resurgence of war trauma, whispering in her heart:

"Patience."

"All of this is just unfounded speculation."

"I did indeed alter the timeline, erased the historical concept of the disaster beast, reset time. These are facts, at least not completely wrong."

"Otherwise, the first Calamity God should have descended 17 years ago, and the government wouldn’t have had the resources to plan such a large-scale talent show."

"Dazzling Stage may also be a large-scale experiment show, aiming to research magic and improve lifespan, the scale and magnitude of which are not impossible to explain."

"And besides, even if there is a crisis in the end times, it may not necessarily be related to the disaster beast."

Chu Yuanqing is an elder from the past era, she has already given up everything for this future, her actions have long surpassed mere obligations and responsibilities.

So, even if feeling worried and unable to let go, as long as not involving the disaster beast, even if the world faces a crisis, it should be entrusted to the younger generation, letting the new generation take up the responsibility, just like the passing down of civilization.

Chu Yuanqing calmed down, the fire in her eyes extinguished.

She understood that letting emotions run wild would only allow curses to take advantage, not changing anything. But this truth was important, it determined whether she could leave in peace.

Chu Yuanqing took a deep breath and hurriedly walked out of the dormitory, following the strange feeling she had sensed earlier, she went straight into the Heart Flow training room in the B1 area.

The layout here inherited the grandeur of the "Dazzling Stage," the design was too futuristic, with a sci-fi beauty. Many players who yearned to comprehend Heart Flow and change their destiny were lying in cabins with partitions for consciousness guidance.

Of course, just like Chen Yining who had come here to try her luck, there were also Grade B players inside trying to take a shortcut to success.

When Chu Yuanqing entered, she received many curious looks.

In the eyes of others, she was a rising star thanks to her amazing talent. Coming here felt like being an emperor inspecting farmers, attracting attention and gossip from other players around her.

Chu Yuanqing ignored it all, standing silently like a statue at the edge of the room. The pendant on her chest kept flashing, her gaze revealing a magical power that unveiled dark mist swirling around like a nightmare.

It was the smell of a dangerous creature.

Yes, even though faint and scarce, it stank like sulfur on a demon, causing her to strongly sense danger.

Piles of bones, seas of blood and mountains of corpses.

Her parents died tragically, comrades sacrificed.

This was a creature that should have been buried in the past, something she had fought to erase from existence through countless deaths.

But now, it had come back from hell like a clown jumping out of a birthday present, mocking her incompetence.

Chu Yuanqing looked dazed.

Anxiety? Regret? Pain? Confusion? Remorse? Defeat? Despair?

None, none at all.

Even though the past her sacrificed everything to create the current era of peace and prosperity, she should feel a sense of defeat for falling short of perfection.

Even if Disaster swept through again, seemingly mocking with icy disdain, negating the sacrifices of past comrades and herself.

Yet, despite this, these feelings of weakness and cowardice did not take root.

Because what holds the highest priority above all this is the instinct engraved in the soul.

That portion sealed voluntarily 17 years ago, buried deep in consciousness, should never have emerged in times of peace. Upon realizing the continued existence of the disaster beast, it broke out reflexively like a raging dragon.

Chu Yuanqing’s eyes lowered, her expression calm, as she looked at the pendant pinched between her fingertips. The lantern on it seemed to be burning with fierce flames, reflecting the twilight of a setting sun, she declared softly:

"All the disaster beasts should be expelled completely."

At this moment, a strong desire to change the world forms a powerful wave, temporarily setting aside the curses. It breaks free from suppression, just like a rose blooming in the core of a star, cleansing everything in its path with a loud rumble.

In an instant, the entire Zhelong Town seemed to tremble, as if an invisible force pierced the underground base. The increasing energy reached the central chamber through the Lantern Gem, creating a fiery path through the magic prison.

"Unknown presence detected invading."

"Heart Flow phenomenon detected erupting."

"Magic threshold index increase detected."

"Unknown wavelength detected different from the blossoming flowers."

"Detection error… Detection error… Detection error…"

At this moment, the alarm bells in the central chamber rang loudly. The super AI code-named Dreamweaver utilized all advanced technology for screening, only managing to capture the tragic situation inside the magic prison.

——Stab, stab.

The Calamity Seed, locked inside metal chambers, twisted and melted in the unknown turbulence.
