I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 77 The Aftermath
The instant the blazing light hit the ground, a deafening explosion shook the earth. Wherever the scorching wind passed, the surrounding area was ablaze, and the entire live broadcast room was instantly engulfed in white light before abruptly shutting down.

Looking at the empty sky, countless netizens were momentarily stunned.

Qi's parents were stunned into silence.

Ji Yuwei suddenly seemed to lose all her strength and slumped onto the sofa.

Xue Cheng opened his mouth slightly, his face full of disbelief.

Qi Xuan's friends, relatives, and even his many fans were all stunned at this moment.

After the initial shock, netizens gradually came to their senses.

The entire internet was abuzz, and posts about Qi Xuan flooded social media platforms like a waterfall:

"What exactly happened? Why did the live stream suddenly shut down?"

"What was that thing that fell from the sky? What was that loud bang before it shut down?"

"Could it be a fragment of the sun?"

"Nonsense! It's understandable that Qi Shen mistakenly thought he was in another world and called it the sun, but we all know he's on the Floating Continent. Where would a sun come from in such a small place as the Floating Continent?"

"What exactly is that thing? The way it fell was no different from the fragments of the sun. It was like a scorching meteor shower, burning everything in its path."

"A reasonable guess is that the thing was created by the original designers of the floating continent, or by the local natives, to simulate the sun. We can see that it clearly has the characteristics of rising in the east and setting in the west and providing light and heat."

"The problem is, it's one thing to build one, but what's with building four? The more complex the system, the more prone it is to errors during operation. They can't possibly not understand this."

"Who knows what they were thinking? Anyway, the sun did explode, and it did bring a devastating disaster to the entire floating continent."

"Even if there were natives there, after being hit and burned by those solar fragments, there are probably very few left now. The floating continent is indeed too dangerous. What kind of carbon-based life could survive safely in such a place for decades or hundreds of years? Just thinking about it is unbelievable."

"I no longer care about whether he's a native or not. I'm just worried about Qi Shen's safety. Being attacked at such close range by a fragment of the sun... I hope he won't be in any danger?"

"It's obvious that it's gone. Whether it's a fragment of the sun or not, just looking at the force it had when it hit the ground, it was no different from a mushroom egg. According to the situation in the live broadcast at the time, Qi Shen was probably less than a kilometer away from the impact point. Even something made of titanium alloy couldn't withstand that."

"But Qi Shen survived the last landslide and mudslide. At the time, many people said he was sure to die. Who knows, a miracle might happen this time too."

"Even miracles need to be based on science. Can landslides and mudslides compare to this natural disaster? Look at how many enormous and terrifying beasts have evaporated on the spot? Even a ruthless creature like the giant octopus couldn't withstand it. What merit does Qi Shen possess to be compared to the giant octopus?"

"No way! I want to keep watching the live streams, why are you making Qi Shen retire early?!"

"Please, let Qi Shen live. I'll do anything."

"If Qi Shen survives, I will never play visual novels again!"

"I will give up milk tea, and I'm making this a pledge!"

……

Netizens expressed their concerns, and many offered prayers for Qi Xuan.

The fourth aircraft carrier, in a small conference room.

The expert team conducted a series of analyses using AI and supercomputers, setting various parameters and conditions. The final conclusion was that Qi Xuan's chances of survival were negligible. No one could survive such a disaster; even someone as physically gifted and capable of miracles as Qi Xuan would find it impossible.

It wasn't that they didn't want Qi Xuan to live; it was simply the cold reality revealed by scientific calculations.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s say, let’s go?”

Liu Wang forced himself to stay alert, glanced at everyone present, and continued to ask:
"Assuming that Qi Xuan really has an accident and the Sky Screen Live broadcast will never appear again, we will lose the most crucial channel to understand the floating continent. Our exploration speed will return to its previous snail-paced level, and various ecological analyses and species studies on the floating continent will also stagnate, making it difficult to make any breakthroughs."

In this situation, what can we do to restore as much progress as possible, even if it's just one-tenth?

Everyone, please think about it.

The people present looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

The entire conference room fell into an unprecedented silence.

Normally, watching the live stream didn't make much of a difference, but now that Qi Xuan is in trouble, all the exploration work has been abruptly halted.

The dozen or so research groups, formed by selecting numerous experts from across the country, are like a skilled cook without ingredients—they can't make a meal without rice.

To conduct scientific research, you need at least something to study.

With the live streams shut down, who will know what's going on inside the floating continent?
At this moment, everyone once again felt the importance of Qi Xuan.

Although it was just a live broadcast, the information revealed during it was still invaluable.

Without the information provided by Qi Xuan, even if they were able to enter the floating continent later, relying solely on the exploration team to explore everywhere, who knows how many people would have died.

Not to mention the collapse of the sun this time.

Before this, no one could have predicted that the bright ball of light, which hung high in the sky and seemed to have existed since time immemorial, would suddenly shatter on the spot.

The fiery torrents that fell after the orb of light shattered would likely wipe out even a fully equipped modern army.

If this point had not been known beforehand, and after the floating continent opened, in order to compete with other countries for exploration progress, people would have desperately poured a lot of manpower and resources into it. It is unimaginable what kind of devastating losses would have been caused when the light cluster collapsed!
That would be an absolutely unbearable weight!

Therefore, even if Qi Xuan has most likely perished, his contributions cannot be erased and are a blessing that all explorers who enter the floating continent in the future should remember.

but……

Now that Qi Xuan has died and the live stream has been interrupted, what should be done next?

Is there anyone else who can replace Qi Xuan as the new broadcaster?
Just thinking about it made everyone shake their heads.

Where can you find such a lucky person again? Surviving a plane crash and repeatedly escaping danger after landing is even less likely than winning the lottery jackpot.

The atmosphere inside was somber, with everyone's brows furrowed.

Suddenly, Xiao Li pointed to the enormous cloud of mist where the floating continent was located in the distance, and shouted in a trembling voice:

"You...you guys look, what's that?"
