Chapter 2: The Global Panic

This chapter is edited by Kuronyan

Chu Yunsheng turned off the computer. He thinks that the situation will just get worse and worse, but he does not have time to follow up those things. He must now practice what he learned from the ancient book. The first thing he needed to do is to learn how to make “Yuan Fu”1. ， In fact, he already knew how to make Yuan fu since he understood the first 300 words in the book, he already made few of those, but since none of them was working, he lost interests in making them.

But since noon, after the sun disappeared, he noticed that among the Yuan fu he made, one of them had shown a bright golden light. Just like what book mentioned, when one succeeded in making fu. The text on the original Yuan fu shortly appeared in the light and then suddenly shrunk and returned to the Yuan fu; it floated in the air like some kind force had kept it in there until Yunsheng put his hands on it.

Yunsheng suspects that the disappearance of the sun causes the law of nature to change, as what it mentioned in the book; it was the starting of “Tian Gui (sky track) is returning, thousands of laws will become one”. The Yuan fu he made was activated by a mysterious force, which is why it was suddenly working now.

He went back to study the book about rules of making those Yuan fu in detail. In the end, he discovered that the text appears on the beginning of Yuan fu is used to create a tunnel. The channel helps Yuan Qi to carry Fazhe (incantations) to the core of Yuan fu; hence when one is making the Yuan fu, the person has to use Yuan Qi combine with specific incantations then Yuan fu will be activated.

But then when he made the first Yuan fu, he did not have any Yuan Qi. How come the Yuan fu can be activated, he asked himself. He soon suspected that the one Yuan fu activated because he used it as a bookmark in the ancient book, and when the ancient book emitted light, it might have caused a change in the structure of fu. He does not know when the book will glow next time, and he does not have much time left, so he did not think much into this question.

Now his priority is to gather Tian Di Yuan Qi (The World Original Qi). According to the book, Yuan Qi is the fundamental force of the universe that has been cut off from our entire solar system in the past 5000 years. The reason is unknown but in the past 5000 years, our solar system has been isolated from the rest of universe. As the book says, Tian Gui (sky track) had been sealed.

From the noon after the sun disappeared, a short period of time and the bizarre discovery of Yuan fu, Chu suspected that the time for the Tian Gui is near. Yuan Qi might have already started to leak into the earth. According to the book, the best way to test it out is to practice Yuan Qi.

At beginning, the focus should be at Qi, from Yunsheng’s understanding, he has to find Qi that does not contain other elements in nature. He needs to absorb Yuan Qi and let it flow into his body.

The trickiest part of the whole process is how to find them and allow Yuan Qi to flow into his body. It is also the most difficult part of the whole Qi cultivation. Yuan Qi exists in the nature but it doesn't have shape or smell, the five senses are useless in finding them.

The easiest way to gather Yuan Qi is through the use of Tian Di (heaven and earth) Yuan Fu. It is used to establish the channel between the Yuan Qi and the human body, enhances the sixth sense in the 4th dimension, then resonate with Yuan Qi that exists in the nature.

Yunsheng did not have his luck; he does not have any of that Tian Di Yuan Fu. The only one that activated is used to summon the god’s flame called “Li Huo Fu”. So he has to use the old way, going to deep meditation while using the incantations that was mentioned in the book, repeatedly. Then his spirit will be awakened in the 4th dimension, from what Yunsheng understood, it his sixth sense. However, there are two preconditions, the practitioner is required to be talented, and the cultivation place needs to be filled with Tian Di Yuan Qi.

Yunsheng already knew he is not a talented guy. According to the book, and based on his own analysis, he is far away from being a talented person. It upsets him a little but he still feels that he is more fortunate than others because he has that book.

Yunsheng sits on the floor while holding the book, he used to think what they mentioned in the fantasy novel was easy. but now that he’s doing it he realized how difficult it is to achieve. He does not know, maybe it was because the Tian Di Yuan Qi is too little or maybe it was because he is not talented enough, but he did not feel anything even after six hours of practice.

After the disappointing and exhausting night, a phone ring woke Yunsheng up.

It is from his colleague, Yu Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai is his best friend, he had warned him before about apocalypse, but Xiao Hai doubted it. He answered the phone straight away.

“Brother Chu, I should have believed you. You need to help us…….” he sounded very worried.

“Are you talking about the disappearance of the sun? But the news article explained …..” Yunsheng slowly replied. He’s tired of his friend making fun of him.

“Please! This is not the time for jokes. The sun disappeared again! It is almost half hour now, and didn’t you know?! … The whole world's gone crazy now! Take a look outside, everyone is crazy now! ” he started to raise his voice.

“Disappeared again?” Yunsheng did not know anything about it. After he failed to find Yuan Qi, he went to sleep straight way. But the disappearance does not surprise him, because he knew that it will happen.

According to the ancient book, because of the return of Tian Gui, all laws will become one. It is creating a cosmic energy surge that will make photon and other particles bounced off the earth. That is the reason why the whole world is in the dark. The formulation and algorithm are too complicated in the book, and also because of Yunsheng did not understand a lot of words that mentioned in the book, so he does not know how long the blackout will continue.

“Brother Chu, what do we do now? Is it really the end of world?” his voice starts shaking.

“I already told you before. Why do you choose to believe me now? Was it a lot of fun when you guy were pulling my leg?” He was called crazy or mad guy in the past three months and now he can finally proved that he was right, Yunsheng felt much better now.

“Brother Chu, please stop mocking us now. Do you know what is really going on right now? Are we all gonna die?”

“No! I don't know much, all I know is on 28th, the world will plunge into darkness. You will need to prepare as many foods, water…. I do not know how long it is going to last.” Yunsheng told him what he knew.

“What, the whole world? What about the sun?! If it disappeared, what does earth orbit around right now?! If earth stops to orbit, how we gonna survive?!?”

“You don't need to worry too much; the sun is not really gone. The astronomers explained already, if we lost our sun we should be all dead. The sun is still in our solar system, we just cannot see it. Maybe it will appear soon and everything will be return to normal……….” Yunsheng tried to calm Xiao Hai down, this is all he could do now. If he tries to explain the book to him, god knows how long it is going to take. He did not even know if Xiao Hai is going to believe him.

“We rely on you now, if you have anything new please give me an update.”

“Three days ago you guys thought I was crazy. Now you guys are relying on me, you fuckers.” Yunsheng laugh it out.

“Hello? Hello…...? Fuck! ... Lost signal again!” on the other side of the phone call, Xiao Hai furiously hand up the phone, and quickly left the company. Global communication is in chaos at the moment, not many people are still remaining in the office building, and almost everyone feels lost when facing the unknown.
