Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 9
“If there is anything, just say it. I can help you,” Han Xuan said sincerely.
The opposite pair of eyes opened slightly, and there seemed to be an impenetrable mist in it, “Don’t ask, Ah Xuan, enjoy it.”
 Chu Qianxun’s expression was sad and indifferent at that moment, and she vaguely said, “This is the last day.”
She must have read it wrong. How could the gentle Qianxun have such an expression?
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Chu Qianxun’s heartless voice sounded, “We can eat whatever you want to eat. My treat.”
“I want to eat grilled fish.”
“Okay, grilled fish it is.”
Han Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought about it a lot, and Ah Xun was still the same Ah Xun.

No matter how much Chu Qianxun hoped that time could pass slowly.
The noon on the 22nd came as scheduled.
The noon sun shone on the willow leaves on both sides of the campus road, and the emerald green leaves were full of energy and were shimmering.
Under the shade of the trees, the students who had just finished class passed through.
The sweet voice of the school anchor came from the school’s radio.
The campus at noon, like every day in the past, was so lively, peaceful, and full of joy.
Chu Qianxun sat on the table in front of the dormitory window, eating a luxury high-calorie ordered food.
She kept chopsticks stuffing food into her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the clock in front of her.
11:57
11:58
11:59
She waited until 9 turned to 0.
The beautiful campus broadcast seemed to be suddenly pinched, making a harsh noise, and then turning into silence.
The whole world seemed collectively quiet for a moment.
Chu Qianxun closed her eyes.
What had to come would come eventually.
The light on all sides dimmed,
There was a faint low-frequency hum in the air.
A huge planet appeared in the cloudless blue sky without warning.
The arc, which almost occupied one third of the sky, hung in the sky silently.
A huge celestial body stood in the sky silently, watching thousands of creatures on the ground.
It was so close to the earth that people could see the strange green lines slowly flowing on its surface and the gleaming green luster gave people a strange and terrifying beauty.
The sun was blocked by this huge celestial body, and it could barely reveal a crescent-like light from behind the huge arc to comfort the terrified humans on earth.
“What is that? Such a big moon?”
“Wow, is it fake?”
“Stupid, how can it be faked?”
“Hey, come out quickly, don’t stay in the dormitory, come out to see the sky!”
“Hello? Mom, I… there is an accident in our school, ooh, it’s also seen where you are? What is this? I’m so scared.”
The campus exploded in an instant after the initial silence.
Some people were very excited, and some were frightened.
There were screams and discussions everywhere.
One after another, cell phone ringtones rang. Chuu Qianxun stared at the green planet hanging high in the air. She pursed her lips, and stood up.
She raised her fair palm that hadn’t had any calluses, looked at it silently for a moment, and stretched her hand out the window extremely slowly but firmly. Then spread her palm.
A little emerald green gem fell from the sky.
A thin bright green light trailed behind it, both gentle and beautiful.
Swaying in the air, it fell to the ground gently. As soon as it slipped into the ground and disappeared, another fell.
Countless such small green crystals with a thin green light fell from the sky without any haste.
“What is this?”
“It looks pretty.”
“Don’t touch it. What if it’s dangerous radiation or something?”
“Hey, it fell on my clothes and disappeared. Where did it go?”
People talked a lot.
At this moment in this world, perhaps only Chu Qianxun understood what that meant.
At 12:00 noon on 22nd of March, the day the crystals fell.
The huge star that appeared in the sky suddenly disappeared out of thin air after dropping the unknown crystals that were later called the “demon spar”.
Most of the people invaded by these green crystals would be demonized within a few hours, and since then they would lose human sanity and become the only demon that chased after flesh and blood.
However, a small number of humans who were invaded by the crystal would be able to escape the fate of becoming demons and at the same time evolve physical strength and abilities that could compete with demons. These people were called “saints” later.
The research of later generations showed that the first batch of saints who were awakened by the direct erosion of the crystals had the highest awakening rate on the day the crystals descended. There was a 30% chance of surviving and awakening.
After that, those who were indirectly infected by the crystals would have a greatly reduced awakening rate.
A beautiful green crystal fell from the sky on Chu Qianxun’s palm.
Chu Qianxun’s palm trembled slightly, and she felt uncontrollable fear.
She only had a 30% chance of surviving.
But she bit her lip tightly, not letting her hand shrink at all.
She just looked at the weird crystal that penetrated into her white palm and disappeared into her body.
Chu Qianxun retracted her hand and gently stroked the arm that did not show any abnormality.
She knew that the demon’s crystal core had entered her body. Within twenty-four hours, whether she would become a demon or a saint, only fate would give the answer.
No matter what, she was determined to become a saint in the first place.
In this way, she could take advantage of being reborn and snatch the demon’s crystal core. Before everyone recovered, she would continue to strengthen herself to become powerful.
The end came as promised, but she didn’t want to live as hard and painfully as before, and die helplessly.
She had to let herself and her loved ones live better in troubled times.
She couldn’t escape from that moment.
Chu Qianxun tightened her fists.
