Chapter 349 Past Dreams 20
Upon hearing Wei Ying's question, the others' gazes sharpened, and they all stopped talking. They looked up at the still prosperous and vibrant scene, and recalled with disbelief the apocalyptic scene they had seen at the beginning, where the sky collapsed, everything withered, and all living beings wailed. A chill ran down their spines.
A cold, mechanical voice rang out: "Not enough time!"
Lan Wenjing's eyes dimmed, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "May I ask, senior, when did the cataclysmic calamity descend?"
How much time has passed since Wei Wuxian successfully reconstructed his physical body?
Fifteen years?
ten years?
Eight years?
Five years?
Despite his mind wandering uncontrollably, Lan Wenjing maintained his usual composure and calmness, his gaze as gentle and polite as a tranquil spring lingering on 001.
The other five remained silent, listening attentively to the conversation between Lan Wenjing and 001.
001's pink three-lobed mouth curved into a shallow arc. It was very ordinary, but it was particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the group. It raised its three rabbit paws and slowly swayed them.
"The cataclysmic calamity of the previous life occurred only three years ago!"
"Three years?! How could that be so short of a time?!" Wei Chaoyan shouted in utter astonishment.
Wei Ying gripped Lan Zhan's hand tightly, and they said in unison, "The resentment at the Burial Mound of Yiling has erupted!"
Lan Wenjing covered his face, muttering in despair, "My poor Wangji, just when things were starting to look up, how could this happen... Why is the fate of Wangji and Wuxian so full of twists and turns?!"
Qi Ye rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly, as if struck by a sudden realization: "The time left for them to develop and prepare is far too short! Even if Second Brother's creativity is amazing, even if Brother Lan Huan and Sect Master Nie work together in perfect harmony and are enough to sweep across the world!"
"However, three short years is simply not enough to completely eliminate the old problems of the Xuanmen sect. The reforms that were forcibly implemented, although driven by advanced knowledge systems and ideologies, as well as the invention and promotion of various production tools that are several times more advanced, have led to an explosive development of the world in a short period of time, leaping forward towards civilized and modern cultivation, presenting a thriving and prosperous scene!"
"But such a prosperous scene is nothing more than a castle in the air, fragile and ephemeral. If given more time to develop and mature, allowing the whole world to be renewed from the inside out, perhaps Second Brother and the others will have a better chance of winning this apocalyptic calamity!"
Qingyan wasn't stupid either; he had personally organized a reform that involved the entire world and knew how difficult it was.
They had prepared for so many years in advance, strategizing and developing a great deal of manpower and resources. They also had the full support of Wen Lan Nie at his peak and his staunch allied families. The timeline they were in was not as dangerous as the Yiling Burial Mound was at the end of the original story, and there were no multiple corpse-refining fields artificially created by the Jin family.
With the strong support of 001 and the cross-border China, and with multiple beneficial buffs combined, they spent more than a decade to achieve the initial victory of the reform.
You can imagine how difficult it was!
But if they asked themselves honestly, given the current state of their world, could they survive a cataclysmic disaster like the one that brings about the end of the world?
Qingyan dared not and could not give a definite answer!
Therefore, it was already quite remarkable that Wei Wuxian and his companions were able to develop the entire demonic cultivation world into such a prosperous state in just a few years in their previous lives. However, if they were to face this sudden apocalypse, logically speaking, the most probable outcome would be that everyone perished along with the world!
As for successfully surviving the apocalypse, emmm... that's an outcome that can only be achieved through a miracle!
However, it is clear that Wei Wuxian and Wei Chaoyan in their previous lives were not so lucky as to successfully grasp this "short-term chance"!
With red eyes and a stuffy nose, Wei Chaoyan wanted to beat her chest and wail: "How can Xianxian and Wangji be so pitiful? What wrong did those innocent ordinary people do? They already live such hard lives, why should they pay for the sins committed by evil people? This is not fair!!"
001 coldly replied, "All things in nature are created by nature, and only the fittest survive! If you are born as a human and are too weak to protect yourself, you can only be helplessly drawn into the karma of others and become the ashes of the disaster!"
