Chapter 767: Cosmic Moon Landing Plan!

The Great Flood?

When these words were spoken, a deafening silence fell. The living room was filled with intense shock.

Finally, a moon diviner, representing a research institute, asked, "May we meet your master?" After decades of reclusion, everyone knew that if even a servant possessed such profound knowledge and talent, their master must be incredibly formidable and mysterious.

The young housekeeper simply shook her head in refusal.

The encounter ended unpleasantly, and they eventually left with mixed feelings. However, the incident still caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of society in Central Continent. Some nobles and astrologers, choosing to believe the warning, began constructing underground shelters and arks to prepare for ongoing nuclear warfare. This was because the war, at that point, could not be stopped.

The entire world was trembling. Giant mushroom clouds rose continuously, blossoming across every continent. Meanwhile, the common people adapted quickly, living in underground cities and paying little mind to the surface, which had been scorched repeatedly. The war between the two sides had entered a fever pitch. To them, so-called nuclear bombs were just extremely powerful explosives. They were radiation-adapted beings; most casualties occurred in the core areas of massive, high-temperature explosions that swept across the land. As for the most terrifying aspect of nuclear bombs—radiation... they felt nothing at all. Radiation zones were irrelevant to them because they were radiation-genetically engineered beings down to their very bones. Nuclear threats simply didn't exist for them. Therefore, the weapons that Earth humans feared posed no threat to them whatsoever. They even referred to them as "the Moon's Arrival by Quarter Moon God." On the contrary, after the land had been bombarded by divine weapons, they found life more comfortable. Their bodies were healthier, their energy was abundant, they enjoyed their food more, and even their appetites increased.

Thus, they used them with reckless abandon.

The war lasted three years. Then, the horrifying scene finally unfolded. Continuous high-temperature radiation eventually led to a planetary ecological shift! The planet began to warm. Intense heat radiation started melting glaciers en masse, transforming infinite glacial ice into vast torrents that covered the entire planet.

Boom! The Great Flood erupted with full force. Residents living in underground cities and air-raid shelters were immediately submerged and utterly devastated.

"Help!"

"Someone, save me!"

Countless people fled the surface, screaming, wailing, and scrambling to higher ground. Countless individuals clung to driftwood and wooden furniture, swept away by the immense floodwaters that, with the force of a landslide and a tsunami, engulfed the entire planet. Only a small number of arks, built by a few, rose from the submerged underground cities. Propelled by immense buoyancy, they broke through layers of earth and floated on the vast ocean.

Kingdom nobles, dressed as astrologers, stood on the decks.

"Oh my God!"

They had never seen a liquid ocean in their lives.

"The prophecy has come true! Could that mysterious, reclusive astrologer be a servant of God?"

"They are God's spokesperson!"

"What did we miss!?"

Only humans on high mountains remained unsubmerged and survived, along with the nobles who had built arks and were now floating on the sea. More than ninety percent of the planet's population perished.

In later generations, this catastrophe was known as "The Great Flood of the Gods." It was believed that the people on the surface, due to their greed and belligerence, were punished by the exalted Moon God, who unleashed the Great Flood to cleanse the world. This glacial melt completely engulfed the globe, and the liquid water was then retained by the strengthened atmosphere, covering the entire planet and transforming it into an ocean. From then on, the planet's landmasses were no longer continuous but were divided by the sea into distinct regions, which became known as the Nine Continents.

"This is terrifying!"

Inside the fish tank, Yuan Qinghua, seeing the earth-shattering ocean outside the window and the entire house lifted from the ground, finally understood. "Radiation caused global warming? How many nuclear bombs must have detonated? The Great Flood directly destroyed the world! Can anyone still live on this radiated planet? I fear the entire land and ocean are now completely radioactive."

But then... a mysterious, forbidden whisper from the adjacent living room made him shiver: "The era of New Humans has begun, the era of spiritual energy recovery."

Yuan Qinghua was instantly dumbfounded.

"This is terrifying! This forbidden being from a cosmic-level civilization actually calls this planet's nuclear radiation war... 'Spiritual! Energy! Recovery!'"

Yuan Qinghua's mind went blank. He sent his observation diary online, and countless people sitting at their computers online were equally astounded. Stunned, he stood up.

"Holy cow, so nuclear radiation is spiritual energy recovery?"

"So radiated land is actually Buddhist land, or paradise? No wonder ancient Eastern and Western texts mention that with global nuclear peace, one can see the Heavenly Kingdom, enter the Buddhist Pure Land, and meet Allah and the Buddhas. It's true! (Dog head emoji)"

"Thinking about it now, the development history of this planet is chilling!"

"Atmosphere thickening, planetary environment improved, then nuclear war, and the thick atmosphere began to retain the melted liquid water, transforming it into a habitable, ocean-covered planet."

"To be honest, ancient Earth might have had ancient human civilizations, and 'ancient nuclear wars' are also possible! In fact, many ancient pieces of evidence show signs of radiation."

"My goodness, it seems that ancient nuclear wars, not just on this planet but on our Earth, were clearly conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism! (Confirmed)"

Yuan Qinghua in the fish tank was still very confused.

But ultimately, after one Great Flood, a new era began. From his fish tank, he witnessed it all unfold on this vast planet of giants.

The Ocean Era. This era, following the planet's gaseous transformation, was later called the Planetary Ocean Era, also known as the Planetary Revival Era!

Originally, the planet's radiation levels were not high. Because it was not close to the sun, being the fourth planet in the galaxy—similar to Earth's position—radiation was not significant. However, at this time, high concentrations of residual radiation caused the organisms across the planet to exist in a peculiar, highly radioactive state. Many felt that some ancient, dormant aspect within their genes had been awakened. Furthermore, rudimentary manifestations of "qi" appeared in their daily lives, and some exceptionally gifted individuals could even harness basic radiation.

"This is horrifying!"

"These truly are weapons of the gods!"

Crude warriors roamed this radioactive wasteland. A new era was being reborn, returning to its peak, and newspapers were filled with praises. Many even speculated that the mysterious astrologer living in the valley was an incarnation of the Quarter Moon God, and the maidservant was known as the Moon's Servant. Statues of the two gradually began to be erected across the entire planet.

Peaceful development continued for eighty years. Civilization revived once more. Emerging from the nuclear war, civilization took another leap forward, transitioning from the era of world wars to modernity, with the advent of computers and the internet. During these years, Yuan Qinghua also cultivated again, becoming a seventh-tier legend.

"Hahahaha!" He laughed heartily, "A hundred years to seventh-tier, that's not bad! To cultivate to this level by eating carrots and market pork, I must be an unparalleled genius!" Yet, he remained curled up in the fish tank.

The new kings across the continents, seeking to stabilize their people and prevent further wars, consecutively announced two major plans to the public: First, the technological knowledge from the Moon's civilization was merely foundational; they intended to use it to deduce and develop their own era of civilization. Second, the lunar landing project.

As they continuously observed the Moon, they discovered a terrifying truth: From the very beginning, the Moon had always rotated to face their planet, like an eyeball constantly fixed on it, never revealing its far side.

"We are being watched by a god!"

"The Moon God, Ji, is observing us, the humans on the surface!"

"His avatar has even descended upon this planet!"

Countless moon diviners cried out in frenzy. Within Central Continent alone, numerous professors and scholars at various renowned universities, including the re-established Divine Capital University in the central imperial city, became incredibly fervent and initiated research and development plans. They believed that the full view of the Moon's near side was a divine monument guiding them, and that there must be another divine monument on the far side of the Moon. This divine monument, they feared, would reveal the truth about their lineage!

The lunar landing project was fully launched. The specific process was as follows: Using existing technology, hydrogen-fueled rockets would launch manned spacecraft, which would then use a gravitational slingshot to accelerate into Earth-Moon orbit, observe the Moon's far side, and even land there.

On the Moon, inside the Moon, similar to the planet below, they had undergone an atmospheric reform. However, their atmospheric reform was implemented inside the Moon, isolating them from the vacuum of space outside.

"Darn it!"

"Those foolish humans are actually going to land on our side! Quickly, prepare!" A tiny, ant-like powerhouse secretly observed the distant azure ocean planet through an astronomical telescope.

"Those people are going to profane our true god! Unbearable!"

"God, why did you choose to manifest on that planet?"

Having obtained technological knowledge from the near side, they naturally also acquired knowledge from the far side. At this point, technology and cultivation were progressing simultaneously, leading to rapid development. The near side of the Moon faced the planet. The far side of the Moon faced the entire galaxy.

The cultivation system on the Moon's far side was gradually detected by transcendent beings on other ancient planets, who then began to practice it. After all, they were naturally gifted and born powerful, so they could easily observe a distant planetary satellite. They could even observe the astrological surface movements of other planets, discovering that other gaseous planets were also inhabited by mysterious civilized beings.

On distant Mercury, storms swept across oceanic ice layers, and a storm spirit, wandering within them, slowly opened its cold eyes, gazing toward the Moon in the distance.

"What is that? Are they trying to launch something to the Moon?"

"Humans are always too ignorant, even starting a war on their own planet... But if they plan to land on the Moon!"

Boom! Carrying a small meteorite, they also launched their own lunar landing project.

On Mars, where explosive lava sprayed, with a *whoosh*, a rock emerged from the scorching heat. Boiling hot lava slid like slime, emitting a silent roar, "Moon star..."

On the Thunder Planet, a realm of endless lightning storms and abysses, amid flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder, vast amounts of helium and hydrogen intertwined to form a gaseous planet. Suddenly, a rift appeared in the thunderous hurricane, revealing "Lightning..."

In the Sun, an even more terrifying situation was unfolding: an invisible dark shadow gradually emerged.

"Oh my god, what is that!"

Countless people observed the Sun with telescopes. It was a massive sunspot, drifting through the void toward them, with the enormous Sun behind it, as if an ancient black beast were embedded within the Sun, letting out a silent roar.

Myths revived. Spiritual energy returned. With the lunar landing project, the entire Solar System, the world, was about to change!

"Let's move." Xu Zhi suddenly said, "Let's go to the Sun and see the civilization there."

The young housekeeper's eyes widened. Looking at the living room and the fish tank, she asked, "What about the things here...?"

"Leave them here," Xu Zhi said. "We might come back next time, or perhaps not at all."

Yuan Qinghua, hiding in the house, watched with excitement. "For beings this ancient, even mythical beasts from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* are like little goldfish casually discarded, tossed aside like nothing. It seems I have a chance to escape!"

"I am a seventh-tier legend, capable of crushing anything in this world!" He burst into laughter, yet he had no idea what the entire planet was about to face.
