Chapter 432 The Six Rivers Converge, and the Sky Collapses!

When the scissors cut off Chen Xin's wrist, Chen Xin noticed that he felt no pain after the wrist was broken, and there was no bleeding either.

If it weren't for the clear view of flesh and blood in the cross-section, Chen Xin wouldn't have believed that his hand was severed.

Now that he has turned it into a seal, he finally understands the power of these scissors.

Living creatures will be broken down by these scissors, and even after they are separated, the functions of their various body parts will not be lost.

Chen Xin thought that if the people in the Divine Messenger organization knew about this ability, the scissors alone would be enough to give the Bureau of Investigation a run for its money.

However, it seems that the messengers of the gods had no idea about the power of the divine scissors.

Chen Xin guessed that the paper cutter obtained through the guiding ritual did not have complete abilities, but only the ability to cut open the rift between the underworld.

Of course, this ability to make people scatter like building blocks is not always present.

It can only last for about half an hour. After that, the force that appears on the cross-section will disappear, and things will go back to normal.

For most people, this situation would have meant certain death, but not for Chen Xin.

He has seams!
Chen Xin has already tried it himself, and it works!
He tried it again with the thing on the ground, and it worked perfectly.

Scissor marks and seam marks seem to be two extremes.

"So, if I had scissor marks when I encountered 'assimilation' before, wouldn't I have been able to cut off all the evil spirits that 'assimilated' had sewn onto my body?"

"Even among the gods of this turbid world, there exists a relationship of mutual restraint?"

"If that's the case, are there also worldly gods who can restrain the River Styx?"

Chen Xin thought to himself.

However, he didn't have time to go to the underworld to find the nemesis of the River Styx.

After throwing the re-stitched guide into the Copper Pillar Prison, Chen Xin headed directly towards Qiuye City.

It seems a bit late!
……

Chi Hongqiao was in a bad mood.

He was initially quite excited when he received news from the headquarters that they had found the source of the Dead River.

The source!
If the source is solved, wouldn't the dead river problem be solved directly?

But when he went there with the intention of solving the problem, he found that there was nothing there except for emptiness!

He even sent people to follow the caves, but even after they emerged from underground, he didn't see anyone, only the six dead rivers heading straight for Akiha City!
At this point, only ten minutes remained before the dead rivers converged.

During this period, the special envoys from the General Administration tried their best, but to no avail.

The ten-meter-diameter sun brought from the headquarters was enough to cover the entire city with its warmth.

Its activated effect is not much different from that of a device with a diameter of one meter.

Under the warm sun, the Dead River no longer exudes yin energy, but this has no effect on the Dead River itself.

Worst of all, the appearance of the Dead River and the Warm Sun caused panic among the people of Akiha City.

Even without Chi Hongqiao saying anything, some people had already begun to flee out of the city.

Especially the elites in the city center, they were the fastest to run.

This directly caused the entire Akiha City to descend into chaos!

"Chief, do we need to send someone to maintain order?"

Lin Yibo looked at the various reports and asked.

Chi Hongqiao shook her head.

"Have all the specialists gather in the city center, wait for the Dead River to converge, and prepare for what will happen after it converges."

Lin Yibo's heart skipped a beat.

"Chief, should we still head towards the city center? Our men have absolutely no way to deal with that thing; they'll just die if they go!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Hongqiao turned to look at Lin Yibai.

At this moment, Chi Hongqiao's eyes no longer held her usual affability, but only coldness.

"Even if someone dies, it has to be someone from the Bureau of Investigation who dies first. Otherwise, what do you think is the point of the Bureau of Investigation's existence?"

"Have you been living too comfortably and forgotten the obligations you were supposed to undertake when you joined the Bureau of Investigation?"

Lin Yibo was taken aback.

Yes, joining the Bureau of Polling—weren't we already prepared for this?

What's wrong with me today?
Looking at the six dead rivers in the sky, Lin Yibo had an answer in his heart.

He was simply unprepared to face death knowing he would.

Shaking his head, Lin Yibo turned and walked towards the station.

At least, his family has left the city.

Nine minutes later, all of the hundreds of team leaders and frontline specialists from the Akihachi City Investigation Bureau gathered on the top of a commercial building in the city center.

Those present included the people from the Akihachi City Investigation Bureau, ten additional personnel sent by the headquarters, and two people from the Qiuxian Temple.

The only difference is that these two people have changed from the previous middle-aged Taoist and young Taoist to middle-aged Taoist and old Taoist.

The young Taoist priest has already left Akihachi City.

"Chief, there are still some ordinary people nearby. Should we disperse them?"

Chi Hongqiao glanced at the ordinary people nearby who were holding mobile phones and recording devices, and shook her head.

"He brought it on himself, just ignore him."

As he spoke, he looked up at the six dead rivers overhead, which were about to converge in just one minute.

What will happen?

Chi Hongqiao murmured.

……

"What's going to happen, family members! This is a once-in-a-millennium spectacle! Six rivers are in the sky! What does this signify? Can any family member who understands explain it to me?"

Liu Jiayi gripped her live-streaming equipment, looking at the screen with excitement.

Liu Jiayi is an outdoor live streamer whose main live stream content is running.

How to run?
It means pointing your phone and camera at yourself while weaving through the crowd.

This behavior, which might seem foolish to outsiders, has actually attracted many fans to Liu Jiayi.

Of course, not many of these fans actually like him; most are just watching for the spectacle, and many prefer to see things from a third-person perspective.

After all, not many people have the courage to run around in a crowd like that, looking cool.

Just looking at it is enough to make you cringe, let alone doing it yourself.

However, Liu Jiayi didn't care. How could he make money if he wasn't thick-skinned?

Among those popular short video streamers, which one is shy and timid?
Aren't they all just shameless attempts to make money?
Of course, a small minority are truly shameless.

Liu Jiayi has been live streaming for so long, but the highest number of viewers she's ever had is just over 10,000, and that's only because the live streaming platform favored her. Usually, she only gets around 1,000 viewers.

But today, he's a streamer with over 10 followers!
Why? Because of those six rivers above our heads!
When the six rivers first appeared, many people were curious, but after people died, no one was curious anymore; instead, there was panic.

Especially after the six rivers gradually converged towards the city center, many people panicked.

There were all sorts of opinions, but no one thought it was a good omen from heaven.

Therefore, most people are trying to find ways to leave the city center.

Only Liu Jiayi saw the opportunity in this.

Be greedy when others are fearful!
With this in mind, Liu Jiayi picked up the equipment and headed straight for the city center!

Even if 90% of the viewers leave the live stream after today, as long as 10% stay, his income will increase by more than ten times.

Why not try?
As for whether there is any danger?

Haha, there's a risk of sudden death even in an office, what's there to be afraid of!
Looking at the dense barrage of comments on the screen, Liu Jiayi accurately picked one.

"What? You want me to keep running? Fine, fine, fine!"

Liu Jiayi smiled and pointed to the rooftop of the commercial building opposite his location.

"Hey everyone, see that building over there? There are hundreds of people standing up there. Shall we go take a stroll over there?"

Before the viewers in the live stream could even speak, Liu Jiayi had already started running.

As he ran, he didn't notice that most of the viewers in the chat were telling him not to go. "Holy crap! This streamer's reckless! Didn't he see the formation of hundreds of people?"

"Yes, not a single one of those hundreds of people panicked. They all quietly watched the six rivers converge overhead, as if they were waiting for something."

"Could they be from some special department?"

"To be honest, an hour ago, I saw Taoist priests unleashing powerful sword energy elsewhere, and now, there are two Taoist priests upstairs..."

"No way? Sword aura? Reading fantasy novels?"

"It's true, I saw it too, and I even recognize that Taoist priest. He's from the Qiuxian Temple in Qiuye City. I never expected a cultivator to be right next to me!"

"It wasn't just the Taoist priests; I also saw some people ignite a giant ball that looked like the sun, although it only lasted for a minute."

"I even saw someone with a giant cauldron appear on their body, spewing flames!"

"Dude, what blockbuster are you guys talking about? I didn't see anything!"

"Don't talk, we're here, the anchor is here!"

"Let's take a gamble, will the streamer get beaten to death?"

At that moment, Liu Jiayi had just arrived at the rooftop.

"Family, I've arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Of the hundreds of people on the rooftop, only a few who were closest to him glanced at him with pity; the rest of them never lowered their heads!

Liu Jiayi felt a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment quickly passed.

He's experienced far more embarrassing things than this.

Where is this?
"Family members, I..."

As soon as Liu Jiayi shouted it out, he heard a sound explode in his ear.

"Shut up!"

Liu Jiayi was startled but didn't see who shouted.

"Who is it? Is this your property? This is a public place, and you can't just shout whenever you want!"

As Liu Jiayi spoke, she pointed the camera at the person in front of her.

Just then, someone started watching.

The man did nothing but stomp his foot on the ground, and a crack more than ten meters long appeared in the roof and floor, stopping right at Liu Jiayi's crotch.

This scene immediately made Liu Jiayi break out in a cold sweat.

Not only him, but netizens watching this scene also exclaimed "Holy crap!"

Before Liu Jiayi could escape, a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the group suddenly spoke up.

"coming."

coming?

What's coming?
Suddenly, Liu Jiayi looked up at the sky diagonally above.

There, six black rivers have converged.

A black mass of water, whose diameter was constantly increasing, appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow cast by the black water mass had already covered an area with a diameter of 100 meters, and this was not the end.

Liu Jiayi swallowed hard and pointed the camera at the sky.

"Family members, I have a bad feeling about this!"

But no one answered him; everyone was watching the growing mass of water above their heads.

Suddenly, Liu Jiayi heard a loud shout.

"Stop him!"

Who are you stopping?
Turning his head, he saw that out of the hundreds of people in his area, more than twenty had been shot out.

None of these people took the stairs; they all jumped off the roof, which was more than 20 meters high.

No, he didn't jump.

This leap can reach tens or even hundreds of meters!

Before they even landed, they had already reached the building across the street.

This already made Liu Jiayi's eyes widen, but when he saw what these people were targeting, he was completely dumbfounded.

At the very top of the residential building across the street, a person flapped wings that emitted black mist and flew towards the water cloud overhead.

"This, this is..."

Liu Jiayi was stunned, and everyone in the live stream was stunned.

But today is destined to be a day that shatters their perceptions.

Just as the person had already flown more than ten meters into the air, and those below could not catch up at all, the person who had given the order spoke again.

"Taoist priest, please slay this fiend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jiayi saw the middle-aged Taoist priest take a step forward, but then the old Taoist priest stopped him with his whisk.

"Let me do it."

The old Taoist's gentle voice rang out, and then everyone saw a ring of orange-red light appear around his body.

It looks like fire, but it's not fire.

Suddenly, the light around the old Taoist priest converged towards the whisk in his hand.

Swish!
With a flick of his wrist, a sword-shaped rainbow light shot out from the whisk.

Before Liu Jiayi could react, the sword light had already flown out of his sight.

He hurriedly looked up and saw the receding sword light land steadily on the figure flying towards the sky.

Seeing the vanished wings and the falling figure, Liu Jiayi's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, he completely ignored the viewers in the live stream.

He only had one thought on his mind: Had he spoken too loudly just now?
Just as Liu Jiayi was feeling uneasy, the commanding voice rang out again.

This time, apart from the old Taoist priest and a few others, everyone else rushed out.

Looking in the direction those people left, many figures appeared on the rooftops of several surrounding buildings.

This time, someone was still flying into the sky, but there was much more fog around him that obscured his vision.

From a great distance, it was impossible to see the target at all!
This time, before the middle-aged man could give the order, the old Taoist priest and the middle-aged Taoist priest next to him had already begun to unleash their sword energy.

The size and speed of the sword energy reveal that the middle-aged Taoist is inferior to the older one.

Liu Jiayi sat on the ground, watching the sword energy fly and the people displaying their unique abilities, feeling somewhat on the verge of collapse.

Is this still the Great Xia Dynasty?
As Liu Jiayi casually looked up, he suddenly saw something falling from the sky above the ever-growing mass of black water.

Liu Jiayi turned her head and glanced at the person who was giving the orders. Seeing that the person's gaze was not looking upwards, she shouted as if possessed, "Up there, something is falling from above!"

Liu Jiayi's loud shout drew Chi Hongqiao's attention away.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the figure falling rapidly.

Seeing the madness on that figure's face, Chi Hongqiao's heart sank.

They'd been tricked; the one who appeared out of nowhere was the real target.

But now, it's too late.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Jiayi, Chi Hongqiao, and numerous netizens, the figure plunged headfirst into the black water without making a ripple.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jiayi suddenly felt... the sky had fallen!

No, the sky didn't fall.

It was that ball of water, hundreds of meters in diameter, that crashed down!
