Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day
Chapter 504 - 423: Global Despair
After the Ancestral Gods displayed their power, they immediately updated their social media status.
This move captured the attention of people all over the world.
Everyone was curious to know what the Ancestral Gods wanted to convey at this moment by updating their status.
Countless people flocked to the Ancestral Gods’ social media account to find out.
Three hundred people!
Twenty thousand people!
One million seven hundred and sixty thousand people!
The sheer number of simultaneous visitors nearly crashed the global social networking site’s servers.
Many were stuck outside, with only a small number managing to access the page first.
"It’s here! It’s here!"
"Brothers, I’m in!"
"What did the Ancestral Gods say?"
A group of people first left comments saying "I was here," without even having time to read the content of the update.
After successfully "checking in," these people quickly looked at the status update.
...
Old Ugly, a company.
"Did you get in?"
"Not yet, the website is a bit laggy."
"Ahhh, hurry up and get in, I really want to know what the Ancestral Gods said."
"Someone just leaked that the update might have mentioned a gamma-ray burst. I don’t know the specifics."
"Do you think the Ancestral Gods could be publicly stating that as long as no one provokes them, they’ll come forward to save the world?"
"If it weren’t for the series of previous events, I might have believed that possibility. But now that someone has angered the Ancestral Gods, and they’re even furious enough to sink a certain Island Country and peninsula, hoping for them to save the world again? If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing."
"Not necessarily, didn’t they already destroy the countries of those who provoked them? They might have already vented their anger."
"I hope so."
"Stop chatting and hurry up and get in, I really want to know what the Ancestral Gods said."
...
United Kingdom, an apartment.
A young couple sat in front of the computer, faces full of curiosity.
The woman asked, "Darling, are you in?"
The man said speechlessly, "You’re sitting on my lap. Don’t you know if I’m in?"
The woman, a little anxious, said, "I want to see what the Ancestral Gods said quickly, so I’m urging you."
The man rolled his eyes and said, "I want to know too, but what’s the use of urging me? The website is too laggy."
Just as the woman was about to say something.
Suddenly, the webpage shook.
The man excitedly said, "I’m in! Baby! I’m in!"
...
Philippines, a certain department.
"What?"
"This..."
"What!?"
Exclamations of surprise rose one after another.
...
Almost at the same time, people from all countries around the world were focused on this matter.
Asia, Africa, America, Australia, Europe, and so on, wherever there are people, they all desperately tried to access the webpage.
Some were still not in, while others managed to get through.
Xiaozhao, Xiaoqing, Qin Liang, Peng Erping, Gu Wei, George, Great Emperor, and all other people Lu Li knew and didn’t know were all paying attention.
Soon, some of the first people who managed to access the website saw the update content.
In the past, the updates from the Ancestral Gods had been very brief, mostly just warnings.
This time was different.
The update displayed a long piece of content.
At the top of the update was a line of text.
Below, no content was visible, and more clicks were needed to view it.
The netizens, already curious for some time and anxious, carelessly clicked to see more while reading the text content above:
"This is my first time opening up to talk about what’s on my mind with people from all countries around the world.
To be honest, I didn’t have superhuman powers from the start; it was an extremely fortuitous and unexpected opportunity that granted me unparalleled strength. As for what that opportunity was, it won’t help even if you ask, because even now that I have the power to destroy half of the solar system, I can’t replicate this occurrence, so I’m sorry to tell you that, barring any accidents, I am the only ’Ancestral Gods’ in this world, or even in the entire cosmos..."
Many netizens gasped upon reading this.
"My Fack?"
"The Ancestral Gods revealed that they could destroy half of the solar system?"
"Oh my God, their true power is even stronger than we imagined."
"I originally thought their true strength was just a few times that of exploding a planet, at most powerful enough to destroy a planet the size of Jupiter. But I didn’t expect they could actually destroy half of the solar system!"
"Wow, the Ancestral Gods really deserve their name. Their power is incredible!"
These netizens were truly astonished.
They knew the Ancestral Gods wouldn’t lie about such a matter.
Because whether they’re exploding a planet or destroying half of the solar system, it doesn’t make much difference for Earthlings.
As long as the Ancestral Gods were willing, they could wipe them out in an instant.
The difference between exploding a star and destroying half of the solar system is indeed tremendous.
Take the solar system, for example.
Its radius reaches about a light-year.
That’s over nine trillion kilometers.
How large is Jupiter’s diameter?
Just under 140,000 kilometers.
One is over nine trillion kilometers.
One is just under 140,000 kilometers.
You can imagine the immense difference between the two.
In other words, if everyone previously thought the Ancestral Gods’ star-exploding ability was comparable to a grain of rice, their true strength should be about 200 basketballs’ worth!
Such a comparison is truly terrifying.
So terrifying that people didn’t care how the Ancestral Gods obtained their superhuman powers, but were all struck by the fearsome scope of destruction.
After being greatly shocked, they continued to look at the content:
"At first, even though I was stronger than a normal person, the strength was limited. So, every day, I lived a life of anxiety, trying not to expose my superhuman abilities to avoid being tracked down by those with motives, lest I should be dissected by the relevant departments."
