Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Mu Jiuyue's serious expression.

"How many people should we call for the meeting?" Director Lin asked.

"Summon all the high-ranking officials, including the three families from the former Hive Base!" Mu Jiuyue said. "The sooner we know about this, the sooner we can prepare."

"Okay!" Director Lin went to notify them without saying a word.

Half an hour later, all the senior executives of the Dawn arrived at the conference room.

Mu Jiuyue doesn't even need a microphone to make her voice reach every corner of the conference room.

Her first words stunned everyone.

"During the time I was away, I wasn't on Earth, but on another planet. I stayed there for decades."

The people below were all dumbfounded.

What's wrong with the base commander?

are you crazy?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

But the next second, no one thought she was joking.

Because Mu Jiuyue raised her hand and summoned water elements, which turned into water spheres that spun around in front of her.

With another wave of her hand, fireballs playfully circled around her.

The next second, a bunch of thorns sprouted from her palm.

"This is called spiritual power. I use elemental power, which allows me to communicate with heaven and earth and borrow the power of the five elements to attack or defend." As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Jiuyue raised her hand and waved it gracefully, and the water ball and fireball in her hand instantly hit a target dozens of meters away.

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped in shock.

"Our Blue Star has successfully ascended to a higher dimension, and we will now be citizens of the cultivation world," Mu Jiuyue said. "At the moment of the official successful upgrade, all technology will disappear, including our Dawn Noah's Ark."

"What? What do we do then?" someone below asked in alarm. "Won't we just drown?"

"Don't rush," Mu Jiuyue said. "As compensation, we will be given a continent to live on. However, from now on, we will have to live a life of slash-and-burn agriculture."

They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

This news completely overturned their understanding.

The scientists were even more bewildered.

What will they do without technological civilization?

"September, what do you mean by 'no technological civilization'? Does that mean we can't even do a physics or chemistry experiment?" Old Lin asked as the representative.

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "Yes, except for the five elements which are the same as before, everything else has changed. In other words, the composition of the ores in that world is completely different from what we used to have. For example, iron smelting. The iron element in that world is not the same as the iron element in our world."

Everyone was even more confused after hearing this.

Mu Jiuyue scratched her head. It was really too much to ask such a poor student as to explain such profound knowledge!

Director Lin roughly understood what Mu Jiuyue meant and spoke up for her: "Are you trying to say that the natural disasters that our Earth suffered in the past were actually phenomena during Earth's dimensional ascension process?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Jiuyue nodded repeatedly.

"So, are the people eliminated by each natural disaster simply unsuitable for the upgraded world?"

"Yeah."

What kind of world is it after dimensional ascension?

"The cultivation world, the kind of world you read in cultivation novels, actually exists. There are people there who can cultivate, and there are people who can't, limited by their spiritual roots. Besides the cultivation world, there are also the demon world and the monster world." Under Director Lin's guidance, Mu Jiuyue told him everything she knew.

This lecture lasted for several hours.

Mu Jiuyue did all the talking, while everyone else was stunned and speechless.

"Alright, that's all for today. The Dawn will disappear in a month, replaced by a brand new continent. As compensation, our current industrial products can still be used, but they can't be recycled. In a few hundred years, all traces of technology will disappear. By then, our descendants will have completely integrated into that world." Mu Jiuyue raised her hand and said, "I will find a way to test everyone's spiritual roots. Those with spiritual roots can cultivate together, while those without will have to remain ordinary people."

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting." Director Lin told everyone to go back and digest the news. After everyone else left, he asked Mu Jiuyue, "Is there anything important I haven't mentioned yet?"

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "There is something I need to do. I'm in a difficult position."

Mu Jiuyue said, "I really want to protect you all and always keep you safe, but I can't keep protecting you forever. Earth is going to ascend to a higher dimension, from three dimensions to four dimensions. The old laws will be abolished and new laws will be established. Ordinary people and cultivators will be two completely different groups, and they will lead completely different lives."

"Furthermore, in the cultivation world, cultivators are born with a higher status than ordinary people. This cannot be achieved through laws alone, because equality is impossible. Therefore, some people will find it difficult to accept this situation, and it will be very difficult for them..."

"Furthermore, the world after the dimensional upgrade will be very dangerous, a world where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty are respected. Although the apocalypse was also a world where the mighty are respected, we set a bottom line that no one dared to cross. But after the dimensional upgrade, the crime rate will skyrocket, and we will be unable to reach it, and we may not even be able to defeat the other side."

"In short, there are many, many problems that I can't explain in a short time." Mu Jiuyue sighed, "I want to stop Earth from ascending to a higher dimension, but I can't. If Earth doesn't ascend, it will perish."

Director Lin understood.

He patted Mu Jiuyue on the shoulder and said, "Jiuyue, you've carried too much on your shoulders all these years. You've taken on other people's responsibilities, which isn't fair to you. Everyone has their own destiny, and everyone has their own path to walk. Whether it's good or bad, it's a personal choice."

“You’ve protected them enough, stop interfering! There’s something else you haven’t said: Did you possess immense power in that world, far surpassing the power of this world?” Director Lin asked.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Director Lin, Mu Jiuyue could only nod.

"September, don't worry about us, we'll be fine. And you, don't let us hold you back. You have your own path to walk, and your life shouldn't be hijacked by us!"

"We are already very satisfied to have been able to walk alongside you for so many years," Director Lin said with emotion. "You have never been a bird in the forest; you are a dragon and phoenix soaring to the heavens. You are destined to roam the world. We cannot confine you, nor can we confine you."

“I know you’ll miss us, and we’ll miss you too, but that’s not a reason to keep you here. Although I wish you could stay with us forever, that’s not realistic.”

So fly bravely and boldly! No matter how far you fly, just remember that we are always here to bless you.

Mu Jiuyue's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Director Lin's words are our message." Lin Zhen and Wei Lie walked over from the side and said, "September, fly bravely!"
