Chapter 133 The Outbreak of the Global Crisis

In that mysterious valley, Lin Yu and Li Qiang were immersed in the study and cultivation of the "Star Source Divine Control Technique". Every time they channeled the power of the stars into their bodies, it was like having an in-depth conversation with the most mysterious power in the universe. The power of the stars, carrying the vastness and grandeur of the universe, flowed through their meridians. That powerful force not only brought about a transformation of rebirth but also came with excruciating pain. The cultivation of this technique was not only about the continuous condensation and sublimation of spiritual power but also a severe tempering of their tenacious will.

The valley was quiet, with only the slight humming sound when the power of the stars converged. The light fell on their determined faces, reflecting the burning desire for the pinnacle of martial arts in their eyes. They forgot about the distractions of the outside world and were fully immersed in this cultivation journey of exploring the limits of power. In the process of integrating with the power of the stars time and time again, they advanced towards an unknown realm of great strength.

However, just as they were single-mindedly pursuing the improvement of their strength, the distant Earth was quietly plunged into an unprecedented huge crisis.

On the distant American continent, a supervolcano that had been dormant for many years, like a giant awakened by a demon, suddenly erupted without any warning. The blazing magma rushed out of the crater with great force. It was the anger from the depths of the Earth, carrying endless destructive power. Wherever the magma went, everything was mercilessly swallowed up. The surrounding towns were instantly submerged by the high temperature and magma, turning into a sea of fire. Billowing thick smoke blotted out the sky and rose thousands of meters into the air with great momentum, forming a huge mushroom cloud as if it were going to tear the sky apart and plunge the whole world into endless darkness. Seismic waves spread out in all directions centered on the volcano, like the ripples stirred up by a huge stone thrown into a calm lake. The ground trembled violently, as if a giant overwhelmed by the burden was struggling in pain. Buildings collapsed one after another during the shaking. Fragments of concrete and bricks flew around like hidden weapons, and countless living lives were buried under the ruins, leaving only the desperate cries of their relatives echoing in the air.

At the same time, in the deep seabed of the Pacific Ocean, a large-scale undersea earthquake occurred quietly. The violent collision and friction between the crustal plates triggered a disaster that could shake the world—a powerful tsunami. The waves, dozens of meters high, were like moving city walls composed of countless tons of seawater, sweeping towards the surrounding coastal countries with irresistible force. Wherever they went, the ports of the coastal cities were destroyed in an instant. The huge ships that had once carried countless trades and hopes were easily capsized and sank to the bottom of the sea like fragile toys under the raging of the waves. The streets of the city turned into a vast ocean in a short time. The seawater rushed into the houses, and people desperately struggled to survive in the flood. Their desperate cries seemed so small and faint amidst the surging waves, as if they would be swallowed up by this merciless disaster at any moment.

In the inland areas of Asia, mysterious cracks appeared in the sky without warning. These cracks were like the scars of the universe, distorting the space and emitting a strange light, as if they were entrances to another unknown world. From time to time, some strange energy fluctuations gushed out from the cracks. These fluctuations were like invisible interference sources, wantonly interfering with the electromagnetic signals on the Earth. Satellite communications were interrupted instantly. Those satellites orbiting in space seemed to have lost their connection with the Earth and became useless metal waste. Electronic devices malfunctioned one after another. Mobile phones no longer rang, and computer screens went black. Airplanes lost their navigation and were like lost birds in the sky, in danger of crashing at any time. The communication and transportation of the whole world fell into chaos, and the normal operation of human society was completely disrupted.

These natural disasters were intertwined, like a huge and deadly net, forming a huge disaster vortex, bringing a devastating blow to the Earth. Countless once prosperous cities are now in ruins. Those streets that were once full of laughter and joy are now covered with broken walls and ruins. The once vibrant homes have become desolate places. And behind the shadow of this disaster, some evil forces hidden in the dark also began to stir.

A mysterious organization named the "Shadow Alliance" has been hiding in the dark corners all over the world for many years, engaging in various illegal activities. They possess some advanced technologies and dark magic, and these powers have allowed them to gradually grow stronger in the dark. After the disaster occurred, they smelled the smell of power and interests and believed that this was an excellent opportunity to seize control of the world. They dispatched a large number of subordinates, like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, creating chaos in various disaster-stricken areas. They frantically looted the relief supplies. The life-saving supplies that should have been delivered to the affected people were taken for themselves. They attacked the shelters, making those who had already lost their homes fall into fear and despair again. They even openly clashed with the local government armed forces, trying to achieve their ambitions by violent means. Their only goal was to obtain more resources and power in the chaos of the Earth and bring the whole world under their dark rule.

In Europe, the members of the Shadow Alliance, relying on advanced weapons, brazenly captured an important energy base. This energy base is the energy lifeline of the surrounding countries. Controlling it is equivalent to gripping the throats of these countries. They controlled the energy output of the base and used it to blackmail the surrounding countries, demanding huge amounts of wealth and precious resources. The local army fought back bravely, but under the crazy shooting of the advanced weapons of the Shadow Alliance, they were gradually defeated. Many heroic soldiers lost their lives in the battle, and the people fell into deep panic, living under the shadow of fear.

In Africa, they colluded with some local armed tribes, acting in concert. They wantonly plundered precious mineral resources. Those mines containing huge wealth became their targets of plunder. They used violent means to drive away the local residents, forcing those who had lived on this land for generations out of their homes. Those displaced people, under the dual threat of hunger and disease, had lives as fragile as candles in the wind, and their lives could be extinguished at any time.

The Earth was plunged into great distress, and people's lives were full of fear and despair. On the streets and alleys, displaced refugees could be seen everywhere. They were dressed in rags, and their eyes were full of helplessness and confusion, like lost lambs in the dark. The hospitals were overcrowded, and the injured people were moaning in pain. However, medical supplies were extremely scarce, and many injured people lost their lives because they did not receive timely treatment. The rescue teams searched for survivors in the ruins with difficulty. They worked day and night regardless of their fatigue. But in the face of such a huge disaster, their strength seemed so small, like a faint light shining alone in the dark, which could be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

During a break in their cultivation, Lin Yu and Li Qiang accidentally sensed the abnormality of the Earth through their special spiritual power perception. At first, they only detected the disorder of the spiritual power between heaven and earth. This disorder was like a harsh noise suddenly appearing in a beautiful piece of music. But as their perception deepened, they were shocked to 

find that the Earth was facing an unprecedented crisis.

There was firmness and worry in Lin Yu's eyes. He turned to look at Li Qiang and said in a steady and powerful voice, "The Earth is our root, and we can't just stand by and do nothing. Those innocent people are suffering, and we have the responsibility to help them."

Li Qiang nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. There was a flame of anger and determination burning in his eyes. He said, "That's right. Isn't the purpose of our cultivation to protect everything we cherish? Now is the time for us to step forward."

They knew full well that when they went out this time, they would not only face the huge threat of natural disasters but also the schemes of those evil forces hidden in the dark. But they did not show the slightest intention of backing down because they understood that protecting the Earth and humanity was their unshirkable responsibility.

They quickly packed their belongings. Those items that had accompanied them during their cultivation for a long time were now carefully put away by them. They bid farewell to that mysterious valley. The power of the stars in the valley seemed to be seeing them off, and the flickering light was like giving them strength and blessings.

When they set foot on the journey back to the Earth, Lin Yu and Li Qiang felt unprecedented pressure. They knew full well that what awaited them would be a arduous battle. But their hearts were full of faith. They believed that with their strength and wisdom, they would definitely be able to save the Earth, dispel the darkness, and let the light shine on this land again.

On the way back, Lin Yu and Li Qiang discussed countermeasures while hurrying on their way. They reviewed their past cultivation experiences and thought about how to apply the power of the stars to deal with disasters and evil forces. Lin Yu recalled the understanding of the rhythm and tempo of the power of the stars when he was cultivating the "Star Source Divine Control Technique". He thought that perhaps he could use this unique power to stabilize the disordered spiritual power of the Earth, thus alleviating the impact of natural disasters. Just like a brilliant musician, using harmonious notes to correct that chaotic piece of music.

Li Qiang suggested that they could start with the areas most severely affected by the disaster, help the rescue teams carry out rescue work, and at the same time look for the traces of the Shadow Alliance and crack down on their arrogance. They also planned to contact some righteous cultivators and organizations on the Earth to jointly form a powerful force to deal with this global crisis. When everyone adds fuel to the fire, the flames will burn higher. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can there be a greater chance of defeating this disaster.

As they gradually approached the Earth, the scene in front of them made them more deeply feel the severity of the disaster. The originally blue sky had become gray, as if shrouded in a thick layer of haze. There was a thick layer of smoke and dust in the air on the ground. The once prosperous cities were now in a state of devastation. The ruins looked particularly desolate under the sunlight, as if telling the cruelty of this disaster.

They first came to a severely affected coastal city. The tsunami here had just receded, but what was left was a mess. The streets were piled up with sundries washed ashore by the seawater, including broken furniture, deformed vehicles, and shattered daily necessities, in a state of chaos. The houses had collapsed, and many buildings were only left with broken walls, tottering in the sea breeze. The vehicles were submerged in the water, with only the roofs exposed, like silent tombstones. People were crying in the ruins. Their cries were full of pain and despair. They were desperately looking for the traces of their relatives. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, 

they would never give up.

Lin Yu and Li Qiang immediately put to rescue work. Lin Yu used the power of the stars to sense the signs of life in the ruins. His spiritual power was like an invisible big net, shuttling through the ruins. That delicate and powerful force could keenly capture even the weakest breath of life. Once he detected the breath of life, he would immediately command the rescue workers to go for the rescue. His voice was firm and powerful, like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding the way for the rescue workers. Li Qiang exerted his strength and moved the heavy stones and steel bars with his bare hands. His muscles were tense, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he did not stop for a moment. Those building debris that had become extremely heavy in the disaster were moved aside one by one under his efforts, opening up life channels for the rescue.

During the rescue process, they encountered a local army that was fighting with the members of the Shadow Alliance. The members of the Shadow Alliance were equipped with advanced weapons. Those weapons shone with a cold metallic luster and kept spitting out tongues of fire. They used these weapons to carry out a crazy shooting on the army, and the army was in a difficult situation. The soldiers looked for cover to avoid the gunfire one after another, but many people were still injured and fell in the hail of bullets.

Lin Yu and Li Qiang did not hesitate to join the battle. Lin Yu condensed the power of the stars. His hands danced quickly, and the power of the stars converged in his palms, turning into brilliant starlight, like arrows, shooting towards the members of the Shadow Alliance. Wherever the starlight went, the enemies fell to the ground one after another. They let out painful screams and lost their ability to resist under the impact of the starlight. Li Qiang held a long sword in his hand. The sword body shone with a cold light. He rushed into the enemy group like a brave cheetah. His swordsmanship was fierce. Every sword strike carried powerful force. The sword wind howled, repelling the enemies one by one. His figure shuttled freely among the enemy group. Wherever he went, the enemies gave way one after another, as if he were the god of death from hell.

With their help, the local army successfully repelled the attack of the Shadow Alliance. The commander of the army was extremely tired, but his eyes were full of gratitude. He quickly walked up to Lin Yu and Li Qiang, saluted them with a standard military salute, and introduced the current situation to them. It turned out that the Shadow Alliance had actions all over the world. Their influence was widely distributed, like an invisible big net, covering the whole Earth. Their actions had brought great obstacles to the rescue work. Many rescue teams were attacked by them on their way to the disaster area, and a large amount of rescue supplies were looted.

After learning about the situation, Lin Yu and Li Qiang decided to split up. Lin Yu went to Asia to find the secret of the mysterious cracks in the sky and at the same time crack down on the forces of the Shadow Alliance there. He knew full well that the cracks in the sky were the key to this disaster. Only by solving this mystery could the fundamental solution to the problem be found. Li Qiang went to Europe to solve the problem of the occupied energy base and rescue the trapped people. The energy base is crucial for the energy supply of Europe. Only by recapturing the energy base can the situation in Europe be stabilized.

After Lin Yu arrived in Asia, he found that a powerful dark energy pervaded around the cracks in the sky. This dark energy was like thick ink, constantly churning and surging, emitting a terrifying aura. He used the power of the stars and tried to approach the cracks to explore the mysteries within. However, every time he got close to the cracks, he would be repelled by a powerful force. That force was like an invisible big hand, pushing him away fiercely. He knew that to solve this mystery, he needed to put in more effort and wisdom. This would be a difficult challenge, but he did not flinch at all, and there was a firm determination in his eyes.

Li Qiang launched a fierce battle with the Shadow Alliance in Europe. He sneaked into the energy 

base. The atmosphere inside the base was tense, and the enemy patrols kept shuttling around. He carefully avoided the enemy's sight and looked for the enemy's weaknesses. When he finally found the opportunity, he launched an attack on the enemy like a shell out of the chamber. He engaged in close combat with the enemy. Every movement of his was full of strength and skill, and the enemy was gradually defeated under his attack. During the battle, he found that the members of the Shadow Alliance seemed to be conducting a secret experiment. They were trying to use the energy of the energy base to open a door to an unknown world. Li Qiang realized that once this experiment was successful, it would bring greater disaster to the Earth. A strong sense of mission welled up in his heart, and he decided to stop them at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

In this global crisis, Lin Yu and Li Qiang shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the Earth. They are fighting bravely on their respective battlefields, engaging in a thrilling contest with natural disasters and evil forces. And the fate of the Earth is now hanging in the balance, waiting for their efforts and the emergence of a miracle. The whole world seems to have held its breath, watching the actions of these two heroes, hoping that they can create a miracle to save the world.
