I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Three o'clock in the morning.

Mr. Qin, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by an urgent communication.

He rushed to the Night's Watch command center, still looking tired.

"What's the situation in Japan?" President Qin asked in a deep voice as soon as he entered the room.

The intelligence chief pulled up the latest report, his face grave: "In Japan, tonight there's a 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' and the shikigami (spirits) contracted with various shrines have staged a massive riot, resulting in at least 10,000 deaths and tens of thousands more injuries!"

"The Japanese military has been fully mobilized, but the situation continues to deteriorate!"

As they spoke, the intelligence chief pulled up satellite images and video clips transmitted from various locations.

In the video, a dozen bizarrely shaped shikigami are wreaking havoc on the streets; in front of a shrine, a shrine maiden dressed in white lies motionless on the ground; and in a residential area, ordinary people flee in panic…

President Qin frowned slightly as he watched the videos.

"How could it be so serious?"

"The specific cause is still under investigation, but it is certain that it is related to the sudden drop in spiritual energy concentration."

The intelligence chief paused, then added, "Furthermore, according to our reports, the Grand Onmyoji of the Onmyōryō, Abe Shōkichi... vomited blood and fell into a coma in the early hours of the morning, and is currently undergoing emergency treatment."

President Qin was stunned upon hearing this.

Did Abe Shōkichi vomit blood and fall into a coma?

That's a veteran powerhouse who's been famous in Japan for over twenty years, with a strength of at least A+ level.

He was so angry that he vomited blood?

"Master Li's methods..."

President Qin couldn't help but exclaim, "They're too strong!"

First, he slaughtered all the extraordinary individuals from various countries in Kunlun, establishing his global dominance.

Now, they've created a spiritual energy vortex, draining the spiritual energy of the Sakura Kingdom, causing the shikigami to riot and resulting in heavy casualties.

He also angered Abe Shōkichi so much that he vomited blood and fainted.

With this series of combined blows, the extraordinary world of Sakura Country will probably not be able to recover for the next ten years.

A senior executive standing nearby said with some concern, "President Qin, with such a big commotion in Japan, the matter of the spiritual energy revival can no longer be kept secret."

"Should we activate the emergency plan and implement full network control?"

Upon hearing this, President Qin did not reply immediately.

He stood up and paced around the command center.

The others watched him quietly, awaiting his decision.

After walking around three times, President Qin finally stopped.

He turned around, looked at the crowd, and slowly shook his head.

"No need for control."

"Why?" someone asked, puzzled. "If we let public opinion escalate, it could cause widespread panic..."

"Panic will come sooner or later," President Qin interrupted. "Instead of reacting passively, we should guide it proactively."

He paused, then said firmly, "Although the changes in the cherry blossoms this time were sudden, they actually present a very good opportunity for us."

"Timing?" Everyone wondered.

"That's right." President Qin nodded. "We've been worried about how to subtly reveal the fact of the spiritual energy revival to the public."

"Too early, and we won't be prepared; too late, and we'll be caught off guard if something unexpected happens."

"Now, Japan has provided us with a perfect starting point."

President Qin walked to the large screen and brought up a global map.

"After tonight, the whole world will know that the spiritual resurgence is real and that supernatural events are real."

"No matter how hard governments try to hide it, they can't hide it anymore."

"And our Great Xia..."

He turned around and glanced at the crowd: "We can take this opportunity to tell the people of the whole country the facts directly."

"At the same time, a nationwide spiritual practice plan will be announced, providing clear rules, regulations, and guidance."

"In this way, it will not only avoid causing widespread panic, but will also reassure the public and let everyone know that the country is well-prepared and has comprehensive countermeasures."

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense!"

"Indeed, striking while the iron is hot yields better results!"

"Furthermore, with Japan serving as a negative example, public acceptance will be much higher!"

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, President Qin immediately made the decision.

"Then it's settled."

"At 9:00 AM after daybreak, a notice will be issued through all channels to officially announce the fact of Reiki's revival to the people of the whole country."

"At the same time, a nationwide spiritual practice plan will be announced."

"All departments must immediately prepare the press release and complete all preparations before 8:00 AM."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

The order was relayed.

But just then, the intelligence chief suddenly received a message.

He glanced at it, and his expression turned strange.

"Mr. Qin, there's one more thing."

"explain."

"We just received an urgent report from the Ali Observatory." The intelligence chief hesitated slightly. "According to observations, the apparent diameters of Uranus and Neptune have increased abnormally in the past two hours."

"At the same time, the brightness also showed an abnormal increase."

President Qin was taken aback: "What does this mean?"

He didn't know much about astronomy, which touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.

"According to the researchers' preliminary analysis and calculation model projections... the distance between these two ice giant planets and Earth is closing at an extremely slow rate."

"What?" President Qin was taken aback. "The distance is getting closer? Planetary motion can be changed at will? What kind of impact will this have?"

The intelligence chief shook his head: "The specific impact cannot be accurately predicted, but if Uranus and Neptune continue their abnormal movements, it is very likely to disrupt the gravitational balance of the solar system and trigger a chain reaction."

"At that time, the internal environment of the entire solar system may undergo unpredictable changes, and in the worst case... it may even affect Earth."

"At that time, the internal environment of the entire solar system may undergo unpredictable changes, and in the worst case... it may even affect Earth."

The conference room fell silent instantly.

Planetary shift? Gravitational imbalance? This sounds like something out of a science fiction disaster movie!

"What about the other planets? Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon, are there any anomalies?" President Qin asked anxiously.

"Current observations show that the orbits and states of other major celestial bodies in the solar system, including the Moon which is closest to us, are all normal, and no similar anomalies have been found."

The intelligence chief added, "That's why the observatory felt this was no small matter, suspecting it might not be a natural astronomical phenomenon, but rather... interfered with by some unknown supernatural force, which is why they reported it."

Is it not a natural phenomenon?

Interference from extraordinary forces?

How can two ice giants be affected from a distance of billions of kilometers?

What incredible power this must possess!

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and a chill ran down everyone's spine.

At this moment, a senior executive's voice trembled slightly as he speculated, "President Qin... could this... could this also be caused by Master Li?"

As soon as he said it, he realized how absurd it was.

But after hearing this, President Qin and the others felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.

Probably!

Besides the unfathomable Master Li, whose every move causes extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, who else could do such a thing?

But... this is just too unbelievable!

The spiritual energy vortex created by Master Li not only stirred up the spiritual energy of the entire world, but its influence also extended beyond Earth, reaching planets at the edge of the solar system.

Furthermore, why specifically Uranus and Neptune? Why is the Moon, which is much closer, unaffected?

Everyone was baffled, feeling that Master Li's realm was becoming increasingly profound and immeasurable.

There was a full five minutes of silence.

General Qin let out a long breath and rubbed his throbbing temples.

"This matter...is beyond our current understanding and handling capabilities. It is classified as top secret. Continue to observe it, and report any new discoveries immediately."

"The most urgent task is to handle the public announcement of the spiritual energy revival. The world is changing too fast, and we can only take it one step at a time, and deal with whatever comes our way."

"Let's focus on the present first. There's still a tough battle to fight after dawn."

The senior executives dispersed, their minds heavy with worry, leaving only President Qin standing alone in front of the huge screen in the command center.

He looked at the spiritual phenomena on the screen that represented the spiritual energy phenomena caused by Master Li's cultivation, which spanned continents and affected the starry sky, and then looked at the planetary anomaly data transmitted from the observatory next to him.

Only one thought remained in my mind:

A brand new era is truly dawning.
