System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan, who had returned from the crater of Mount Fuji, had a face as white as frost, his solemn expression seemingly solidifying.

When they reunited with the Old Celestial Master and others, the spirits of Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, and the others had already quietly returned to their places.

Just moments before, as the earth trembled violently and a torrent of violent spiritual energy erupted like an enraged dragon, Chen Xuan moved with lightning speed, rushing forward without hesitation. His eyes showed no trace of the ruthlessness to slaughter living beings; he simply waved the Myriad Soul Banner, and within a few breaths, he had annihilated all living beings.

The terrifying power displayed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of the Old Celestial Master and the others, instantly refreshing their understanding of magical artifacts.

However, while the old Celestial Master and the others were shocked, a sense of relief also welled up in their hearts. In their view, with such a heaven-defying magic weapon in his hands, even if there were unparalleled ferocious beasts lurking beneath the volcano, he would surely be able to subdue them easily.

But when Chen Xuan returned, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom when they saw the unprecedented solemnity and worry on his face.

Chen Xuan's face seemed shrouded in a gloom, with a complex mix of emotions—solemnity, worry, anxiety—that was startling to behold.

Since they had known Chen Xuan, the Old Celestial Master and the others had never seen such a rich and heavy expression on his face. Clearly, the development of events had exceeded Chen Xuan's control.

"Xiao Xuan, what exactly happened?" The old master broke the silence, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Chen Xuan's mind was in complete disarray, his thoughts racing, unsure where to begin. He knew this matter was of utmost importance and required careful consideration of the current state of Longxia and the future of millions of people before he could speak.

"Let's not talk about that now, let's go." Chen Xuan's voice was low and solemn. Before he finished speaking, he sped away like a shooting star, disappearing instantly from this land that was like a living hell.

The old celestial master and the others exchanged glances, asked no more questions, and followed closely in Chen Xuan's footsteps.

After half an hour.

One by one, the group entered Longxia's airspace.

Upon entering Longxia territory, Chen Xuan paused, stopped moving forward, and instead plunged down towards a majestic mountain peak below.

The old master and the others followed without hesitation.

As soon as they landed, the old master and the others saw Chen Xuan holding a mobile phone, speaking with a serious expression.

Judging from Chen Xuan's address, it's not hard to guess that the person on the other end of the phone must be Elder Long from Kyoto.

"Elder Long, this has just happened, and it's unclear when it will spread globally. But one thing is certain: the world is about to undergo a tremendous change."

Chen Xuan gripped his phone tightly, his eyes deep and serious. After pondering for a long time, he rattled off a series of solutions.

There are more than a dozen items, all of which revolve around the storage of strategic materials and combat equipment.

Just one of these points, when heard by everyone, made them gasp in shock.

Abandon the existing underlying industrial chain and allow all military factories and private factories to operate at full capacity to manufacture all kinds of weapons?

Every word Chen Xuan utters at this moment, if put into practice, will directly or indirectly change the future economic trajectory of Longxia.

This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Elder Long, and the pressure on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain.

However, out of trust in Chen Xuan, and having witnessed Chen Xuan's formidable strength in Japan, Elder Long could only nod heavily in agreement.

"Elder Long, these are just preliminary estimates of military supplies based on my predictions of various disasters that may occur after the spiritual energy revival. The actual situation may be even more severe than this. You must make full preparations and at the same time raise the vigilance of the entire population."

"I understand, Xiao Xuan, thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere on the entire hilltop seemed to freeze, dropping to freezing point.
