"I don't know. I'm afraid the world is undergoing yet another transformation. In any case, the best we can do is to stay still and adapt to changes. With our current strength, we can't change anything. Surviving is already the best possible outcome."Yi Tianxing shook his head. What was happening had already surpassed what he could foresee. The evolution of heaven and earth—no one could predict it.
"Big Brother Yi, quickly check the Wordless Heavenly Tome! There should be something recorded in it," Tang Zitong urged while glancing around at the other survivors, who looked equally bewildered and terrified, some even crying in sheer panic.
"Yes, brother, take a look. What exactly is going on?" Zhao Ziyan also spoke up.
The Wordless Heavenly Tome had always been in Yi Tianxing's possession. After all, it was safest in his hands. He could store it in the Spirit Orb Space at any time, keeping it secure without mishap. Even Chen Xuerou never brought up taking it back—as if she had completely forgotten about it.
"Let me take a look!"Yi Tianxing nodded without hesitation. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Wordless Heavenly Tome manifested.
As he opened it, new lines of text surfaced:
"On the sixth day, catastrophe descends. The fittest survive. Heaven shows mercy, and fortune rains from the sky. Countless treasures soar across the firmament. After the tribulation, comes great fortune!"
Everyone—Li Zhilin and the others—saw the words at a glance.
"What does this mean?" Chen Xuerou murmured, frowning slightly.
Li Zhilin adjusted his glasses and analyzed, "If I'm understanding this correctly, it means that over these past days, countless natural disasters have claimed human lives across the planet. The people floating in the sky now—these are likely the survivors. 'Heaven shows mercy.' As the saying goes: 'Blessing and misfortune are interdependent.' Now that the calamities have passed, the world is bestowing a great opportunity—treasures are appearing."
He quickly laid out his reasoning.
"Yes. To survive through such apocalyptic disasters is already an extraordinary stroke of luck. It's a true test of one's fortune and ability. Anyone who's made it this far must possess at least some level of fate-blessed potential. 'The fittest survive.' This is likely a great opportunity granted by heaven. If we seize it, it could become our foundation for future growth," Yi Tianxing nodded, deep in thought.
These back-to-back global changes—if they continued, the entire human race might be wiped out. But now, perhaps the cataclysm had reached its peak. Most people had already perished. Modern civilization was gone, utterly destroyed. Rebuilding it seemed impossible.
Now, with heaven's gift, came a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seize it, and one could soar to the skies.
Crack!!
This wasn't the time for deep thought.
Suddenly, the sky tore open with no warning—rifts splitting through the heavens as if leading to mysterious, unknown realms.
Immediately, divine lights burst out of the rifts like a torrential storm. The beams moved at incredible speeds—impossible to follow with the naked eye—raining down like a meteor shower across the sky.
It was… stunning.
Who could remain calm watching treasures fall like raindrops from the sky? Like dumplings tossed from the heavens?
"Treasures! Rare treasures! All of them! Collect as many as you can! Even a single one could change your fate. This is the opportunity after the calamity—the greatest celestial blessing!"Yi Tianxing's eyes lit up with excitement. His heart raced. This was a true fortune from heaven. Once the transformation was complete, it would never happen again—not in a thousand years.
Just days ago, he had nearly died trying to acquire even one treasure. And now? They fell like a rainstorm. To miss this would be…
He might as well bash his head into tofu and end it.
"They're really treasures? This is amazing! There really is opportunity after disaster!" Tang Zitong cried out, elated.
Whoosh!
Beams of divine light exploded from the rifts—too fast for most to react. Many instinctively dodged, afraid to be hit. And rightly so—these beams carried such force that getting struck could shatter bone.
"Let me try first."
Seeing the divine lights approaching, Yi Tianxing activated his Innate Yin-Yang Eyes to the maximum. His pupils turned black and white, greatly enhancing his vision. Within each beam, he could see a rare and wondrous treasure.
Without hesitation, he reached for the nearest one.
Pa!!
The impact carried strong force, but nothing compared to what he expected—more like a grown man's punch. As long as one had sufficient strength, they could grab it. For Yi Tianxing, there was no chance of losing grip.
"A treasure, indeed!"
He grinned as a glowing orb appeared in his hand. Without even examining it, he immediately stored it in the Spirit Orb Space.
"Quick, grab whatever you can! The force isn't enough to cause real harm. Don't miss this—such chances never come again!"
While talking, he reached out with lightning speed—his cultivation at the second stage of the Divine Sea Realm giving him a massive boost. His arms blurred with afterimages as he moved faster than the eye could follow.
Each grab caught a divine light, and he tossed them into the Spirit Orb Space without even looking. Every moment lost could mean missing a treasure.
Zhao Ziyan and the others followed suit, grabbing what they could. While many slipped from their grasp due to insufficient strength, they still managed to get a few.
Meanwhile, in the skies, many survivors had no idea what was happening and instinctively dodged. Yet, some divine lights struck them directly—without effort, the treasures landed in their arms.
"Treasure! These lights are treasures!"
"Quick, grab them! These are the foundations for future survival and power!"
"Heavens, I got a pill! What kind of pill is this?"
"I caught a book—a cultivation technique! Amazing, I can cultivate now!"
"I got a sword—an incredible weapon! It can cut hair with a breeze! A true divine weapon!"
Soon, survivors were shouting in delight.
The divine lights were too dense to count. Standing still, people still got hit by treasures—it was literally heaven's gift.
Realizing this, the survivors went wild, trying everything to grab more treasures.
But most failed.
Some caught one only to lose it due to weak grip.
"I can't wait anymore. Yin-Yang Locks, Yin-Yang Rings—capture for me!!"
Yi Tianxing saw the divine light intensifying as the rifts in the sky began to close. From these shrinking rifts, a final wave of treasure-light burst forth like a tsunami.
This was the last chance.
He gritted his teeth, summoned the Yin-Yang Locks, and with a thought, broke them into 405 Yin-Yang Rings—black-and-white halos that shot out toward the divine beams.
This time, his concentration reached its peak. Every ring carried his spiritual will.
He didn't even need to aim. The sky was flooded with light. As the rings flew, they latched onto treasures, shrank, bound them tightly, and flew back—all in one seamless motion.
The treasures went straight into the Spirit Orb Space.
He launched the rings again, and again—three times in total.
Each time, he caught large numbers of treasures.
But that was all.
The divine light faded. The rifts vanished.
The opportunity… had passed.
Yi Tianxing couldn't help but beam with joy.
He'd struck it rich.
Truly, unimaginably rich.
This was the kind of fated opportunity that came only once in a thousand lifetimes.
