Renovation of the Southern Continent

"He was the ancient king of the Southern Continent, his name is Aiden!"

"He killed my beloved daughter!"

"Therefore, Aiden's cherished Southern Continent will become the target of my revenge."

"This is my death sentence to all of you!"

Su Yuanshan finished speaking to the camera.

Grabbing Aiden by the hair, he soared straight into the sky.

His left hand, now free, was raised high, pointing toward the heavens.

Suddenly, he let out a fierce roar.

“Star Absorption Technique!”

The mountain that had been severed by the Kunlun Slash and sent flying into the sky began to respond as if summoned.

It started plummeting wildly downward.

Because of its incredible speed, the grass and trees on the rocks ignited from the heat, leaving behind a long fiery trail.

Yang Honghui and Grandpa Jin watched the sky in shock.

“A meteor?”

“A falling star?”

“Could Su Yuanshan have pulled a meteor from the sky?”

“Impossible! How could the Star Absorption Technique reach that far?”

“Is he really trying to destroy the entire continent?”

The two old men exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and dread.

Aiden’s eyes widened as he stared at the blazing fireball hurtling toward the ground.

He didn’t understand how Su Yuanshan had done it.

But he knew exactly what Su Yuanshan intended.

“You can’t do this!”

“Kill me if you must!”

“This is all my fault alone!”

Tears streamed down Aiden’s face as he begged desperately.

Meanwhile, the people around the world watching the live broadcast were still confused.

“What’s going on?”

“Did he really cause that meteor?”

“Are you telling me this is some kind of movie?”

“I’m in the capital of the Southern Continent, and I just saw a meteor right above me.”

“I already made a wish upon it—to never be separated from Elisa!”

…

Those who didn’t understand yet had no idea what was about to unfold.

They just felt something was off.

The Martial Arts Guild suddenly cut into the news broadcast.

Showing footage of the meteor’s descent felt like a huge overreaction.

Reporters from the Southern Continent were still watching Yang Honghui and Grandpa Jin, asking,

“Are we filming the meteor, or the flying man?”

Yang Honghui looked at the reporter, his expression extremely grim.

He wanted to say, “You’re all going to die soon.”

But the words wouldn’t come out.

All he could do was shout,

“Stop filming! Everyone, evacuate the Southern Continent immediately!”

“The place where this meteor will land is this very square!”

After saying that, he grabbed Grandpa Jin and ran.

Because staying meant a senseless sacrifice.

Even Yang Honghui wasn’t sure if he and Grandpa Jin could survive this disaster.

Compared to the clueless masses,

those who understood the situation stared in horror at the scene.

Chen Feng immediately dialed Qianqian’s number.

“Run! Run fast!”

“The entire Southern Continent is about to be destroyed!”

Listening to the news and her master’s urgent voice, Qianqian instantly realized what was coming.

But she still didn’t understand—who was this young man?

Could he really destroy an entire continent?

At the headquarters of the Great Xia Martial Arts Guild,

Feng Tengyun and a few trusted aides were watching everything unfold in the conference room.

The Supreme Guild Leader looked at Feng Tengyun.

“Even if it’s revenge, there’s no need to destroy an entire continent!”

“He’s taking revenge on all humanity!”

“Old Feng, this man is a madman!”

Feng Tengyun sighed softly.

“If you had gone through what he did, you wouldn’t have an ounce of pity left for this world.”

“Let’s find a way to resurrect the ancient ancestors of the Gu clan next year!”

“Otherwise, the remaining three continents won’t be able to withstand such a blow!”

This time, no one dared to speak up and stop them.

Su Yuanshan’s ruthlessness had far exceeded their imagination.

At this very moment.

The capital of the Southern Continent.

All the residents stepped outside to watch the meteor shower in the sky.

Some held up their phones, recording videos and uploading them online.

Others boasted about tracking down where the meteorite would land, eager to find it.

But as that mountain-sized rock, more than a kilometer in diameter,

descended closer and closer to the ground,

people finally sensed something was terribly wrong.

This meteorite was too massive.

Especially the point where it was going to strike.

Those near the city center square

felt it most intensely.

They could only see a colossal stone blotting out the sky,

about to crush them beneath it.

Just as panic began to rise,

it was abruptly cut off.

Ten thousand meters above the ground,

Aiden’s eyes widened, mouth agape.

Horrified, he stared down at the land below,

which looked like a shattered cookie, smashed to pieces by a hammer.

Within a thousand-mile radius of the impact point, the ground was engulfed in an inferno.

Aiden watched with his own eyes as debris and dust soared back up into the sky.

Even the cities on the farthest edges of the Southern Continent experienced earthquakes exceeding magnitude eight.

The most terrifying thing was that

the dust cloud darkened the sky, casting the entire continent into a gloomy haze.

Su Yuanshan descended from the sky,

dropping Aiden onto the ground.

“Do you feel what it’s like to have something you cherish destroyed by someone else?”

Aiden despairingly scooped up a handful of scorched earth.

There wasn’t even a trace of city ruins in it—

only mud churned up from deep underground.

Right beside him was a massive crater, over ten kilometers wide,

which just minutes ago had been the city center square of the Southern Continent’s capital.

The once bustling skyscrapers now seemed as if they had never existed.

Amidst the dust and ash,

Aiden buried his head in the soil and wept bitterly.

He had once been the ruler of this land.

His greatest dream was to see his country and city flourish more and more under his governance.

In his previous life, all he ever wanted was for his people to acknowledge him.

But no matter what he did, he failed to hold onto his continent.

He had worked tirelessly his whole life, only to become a king of a fallen nation.

Yet, thousands of years later, someone fulfilled his dream.

He had witnessed the Southern Continent’s prosperity with his own eyes.

His lingering obsession from his past life was finally satisfied.

But now, all of it was destroyed again—right before his eyes.

And destroyed by himself, the king who lost his country.

Aiden truly wished that the person who emerged from the Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin back then had never been him.

He would rather live forever in the void of the underworld,

never to see this flourishing world,

and never to watch his homeland be destroyed by his own hands once more.

Su Yuanshan did not kill Aiden.

In his eyes, Aiden wasn’t even worthy of being killed by him.

Compared to Aiden,

Su Yuanshan now only wanted to see his granddaughter.

After leaving,

Linghe soared through the ten-thousand-meter-high sky, carrying Qianqian.

One man, one crane.

Both were shocked as they looked down at the Southern Continent, now like a scene from the apocalypse.

Through the sonic feedback Qianqian sensed,

the once prosperous city suddenly erupted with colossal waves.

A city built of reinforced concrete is like a bubble on the ocean’s surface—vanishing in an instant.

And it’s the very ground beneath, once thought solid and unyielding, that stirs the waves.

The familiar shopping mall is gone.

The café where I used to play the piano has disappeared.

My friend George, and the kind old store manager, have been swallowed by this disaster.

The benevolent city I painstakingly built has crumbled into nothingness in a flash.

Qianqian feels once again the sting of losing what she holds dear.

Just like with the Kirin back then.

She is helpless.
