Chapter 4: The Sky Cracks

A thunderous roar echoed across the world as the sky shattered like fragile glass. Jagged cracks spread through the heavens, revealing swirling vortexes of chaotic colors beyond comprehension. Screams filled the streets as people ran in panic, their eyes wide with terror at the apocalyptic sight.

But Qin Sheng remained still.

His cold gaze was fixed on the sky. He knew what was coming. The first true step into chaos.

A brilliant light engulfed the world, and then, without warning, translucent holographic interfaces materialized before every human.
