Deposed? I couldn't be happier! I wouldn't even be a dog to the crown prince.

Amidst the loud noise.

The entire earth's crust in Chang'an trembled as a result.

The operating table in the underground laboratory shook violently, and the petri dishes fell to the ground and shattered into glass shards.

Wu Zetian barely managed to avoid falling by gripping the edge of the control panel.

White dust was falling from the ceiling above.

Outside Chang'an City.

On that barren plain along the Wei River.

The wooden base was originally embedded hundreds of meters underground in basalt layers, making it as solid as a rock.

It was emitting an eerie dark red smoke at that moment.

The corrosive fungi, swept out of the slums by the wind, traveled along the ventilation ducts and groundwater.

We've found the world's most lavish carbon nanotube buffet.

The incredibly tough carbon nanotube fibers were being devoured by fungi.

Like tattered rags splashed with strong acid, it disintegrated and weathered over a large area.

Click! Click!

The thirty-two main load-bearing columns on the east side of the wooden base began to crack one after another, making a teeth-grinding sound.

The broken carbon nanotube steel cable resembled a wildly whipping whip.

It lashed wildly in mid-air, tearing several engineering mechs that couldn't evacuate in time into two pieces.

The foundation collapsed.

This space elevator has been built up to the stratosphere and is over 20,000 meters high.

It has lost its bottom balance support.

midair.

That colossal pillar, hundreds of meters in diameter and entirely black, reaching to the sky.

It let out a deep, muffled metallic wail, like that of an ancient behemoth.

That's a full 30,000 tons of heavy metals and carbon nanotubes.

The desperate groan emitted by the pull of gravity after losing balance at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

The Jianmu tree has begun to tilt.

Inside Chang'an City.

The people who were just celebrating spring plowing in the streets and sweating in the workshops.

Everyone was stunned into stopping in their tracks by the deafening roar.

A vendor selling sesame cakes stopped what he was doing and looked up blankly.

The dough in my hand fell onto the cutting board with a thud.

He looked up at the sky in the direction of the loud noise.

The sky was originally a clear blue.

That black pillar that pierces straight into the depths of space.

At this moment, it is happening in a slow, yet chilling manner.

They pressed down little by little towards Chang'an.

The sun was blocked.

A massive black shadow, tens of thousands of meters long.

Like the scythe of death, it swept across the city from outside, instantly engulfing the entire West Market and Zhuque Street.

It even covered the golden roof of the Daming Palace in the imperial city.

"It's collapsing...the tower is collapsing!"

I don't know who shouted first, but the voice was filled with a distorted despair.

The street erupted in chaos.

Complete chaos.

The laborers pushing the coal carts threw down the handles and fled in panic.

The woman, pulling her terrified, crying child, stumbled and staggered through the crowded throng.

Several merchants dressed in fine silks and satins were pushed to the ground in the mud, too weak to even get up.

"Where do you think you're going! Where do you think you're going?"

An old, thuggish soldier sat on the ground in despair, slapping his thigh and wailing.

"If that damn thing fell, the entire city of Chang'an would be cut in two!"

That wasn't a shooting star, nor was it a tall building.

That's 30,000 tons of heavy metal.

The physical kinetic energy of a falling object from a height of 20,000 meters.

Let alone Cyber ​​Tang Dynasty, even if a Golden Immortal came, he would be smashed into mincemeat.

Daming Palace.

Outside the Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin, with one bare foot, had just stepped out of the palace gate.

I felt the light in front of me dim.

He looked up.

The dark, towering shadow of the tower was slowly creeping over the high palace walls.

The white marble plaza in front of the Taiji Hall will be completely covered.

The old man's face drained of all color instantly.

He has just regained the confidence to "live in reality".

It seems so insignificant in the face of this physical apocalypse that fell from the sky.

"Protect the Emperor! Quickly, protect the Emperor!"

Wang De was so anxious that he jumped up and down, shouting in his hoarse voice.

Several imperial guards rushed over, shields in hand, trying to pull the emperor into the air-raid shelter.

"Get out of here!"

Li Shimin pushed the guard aside.

He stared intently at the black pillar that was getting closer and closer in the sky.

"Where can we hide? If that thing falls, even the tenth floor underground will be reduced to dust!"

Inside the underground biochemical laboratory.

Wu Zetian watched the real-time parameters of the Jianmu tree's tilt through the holographic screen.

Inclination angle: 7 degrees.

The countdown is expected to hit Chang'an in less than fifteen minutes.

There was no time to consult the Crown Prince of Hawaii.

There was also no time to evacuate the city's million inhabitants.

Wu Zetian gritted her teeth.

The teeth pierced his lips, and bright red blood seeped out.

A fishy-sweet taste spread through my mouth.

She didn't wipe it.

She ripped off the hood of her protective suit that was in the way.

Her disheveled hair fell over her shoulders.

She turned around and rushed to the deepest part of the control panel.

There was a red emergency power valve that was tightly locked under a glass cover.

Wu Zetian did not hesitate at all.

She didn't even look for the keys.

He simply grabbed a fire wrench from the side.

It slammed hard against the glass cover.

Splash!

The glass shattered, cutting the back of her hand.

She didn't care about the pain.

He gripped the cold, red valve with both hands and pulled it down sharply.
