Divine Rune Awakening: Starting With Various Divine Runes and Dominating the World

[Decisive! Invincible! No Mercy!] When a thunderbolt ripped through the night sky, the blood moon appeared, and the world changed forever. Animals evolved, vegetation grew wildly, and intelligence was awakened. In just one night, the world was plunged into bloody chaos. The helpless humans were unable to resist the onslaught of the evolved animals and the sweeping plants with awakened intelligence, making countless humans their prey. However, those with divine runes engraved on their bodies were shocked to find that their runes had also been revived, which gave them incredibly powerful strength. Three years after the world changed, Gu Changqing transmigrated back to the eve of the cataclysm. In his previous life, he did not like to engrave anything on his body, but now that he had come back to this chaotic world, the first thing he did to survive and rise up was to invite the world's top divine rune master to engrave the ten evil demons in the world: Rahu, Kirin, White Tiger, Black Dragon, Grim Reaper, Asura, Hades, Skeleton, Great Sage, and Nezha! He knew that engraving divine runes after the cataclysm would not awaken their power and make them powerful.

Everything Is Ready; Waiting for the Cataclysm

Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time flew by, and in just a blink of an eye, it was already May 28th.

In the remote western suburbs of Longjiang City.

The large shelter, which cost tens of billions to build, looked like a small city that occupied an area of more than 500,000 square meters. It was visually impactful. The thick walls were more than 600 meters tall and 30 meters thick. They were reinforced with concrete and steel plates, which were about 40 centimeters in thickness, on the surface and inside. There were also windmills on the walls that could generate electricity at regular intervals. A sky-high electric fence that covered the shelter also sat atop the walls to prevent attacks from vicious birds. Countless solar panels were also fixed on the walls.

Similar to the walls, the ground was also reinforced with concrete and steel plates.

The world would undergo an earth-shattering change soon. Apart from those without superpowers, all living things would evolve. Even rats and ants would become extremely dangerous.

Within the walls, there were buildings that could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.

Outside the shelter, many people had come to take a look. Everyone was shocked by the size of it.

"Heavens! It's huge!"

"Why did the richest man in Longjiang City build such a huge shelter? What is he thinking?"

"I heard that he sold Hengyu Group… Could it be that the apocalypse that we see in movies and read in novels is coming?"

Someone snickered. "Apocalypse? How's that possible? Anyway, I think he just has too much money and nowhere to spend it. I'm sure he has other reasons for selling Hengyu Group."

"That's right. We can't fathom the minds of the rich. Perhaps it's just for fun."

In the backseat of a luxurious car, a beautiful woman with a noble bearing shifted her gaze from the large shelter in the distance to Su Youwei, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Miss Su, with your relationship with Gu Changqing, do you really not know the reason he built this shelter?"

The woman was Lin Shuiyao, the person behind the acquisition of Hengyu Group. She was from the Lin family, one of the five major families in the capital. She was tall and slender with graceful curves. Her temperament was elegant and noble, and her face was flawless.

Su Youwei shook her head and said wryly, "My boss really didn't tell me anything. If you know him, you should know what kind of person he is. It's impossible for him to tell his subordinates the reasons for his actions."

"I know him. I've dealt with him more than once after all. He's truly a man who's difficult to see through," Lin Shuiyao said after she thought about it for a moment, "As far as I know, the supplies he moved into the shelter a few days ago can sustain at least ten thousand people for three years if they're properly preserved. Why would he do such a thing?"

Lin Shuiyao was puzzled. She was not the only one. Countless conglomerates in the Nine Region Empire were also puzzled by Gu Changqing's actions. None of them considered the apocalypse. Even if they knew now, it was too late to do anything.

At this moment, dust was stirred up in the distance as more than 100 military jeeps drove toward the shelter, surrounding a luxurious car. Four people occupied each jeep. Everyone was dressed in black suits and sunglasses. They were strong and muscular, and their faces were expressionless.

The media turned their cameras and the people pointed their phones to the source of the commotion.

Tuan Tuan, a popular live streamer with more than 100,000 viewers, said, "Here they come! Everyone, take a look! This should be the convoy of Gu Changqing, the richest man in Longjiang City!"

The motorcade ignored the crowd and came to a stop in front of a heavy steel gate.

When the heavy steel gate opened, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit quickly walked out and entered the luxurious car. Following that, the motorcade drove into the shelter.

Inside the car.

"Chairman Gu, I didn't disappoint you! I, Wu Rui, dare to guarantee with my life that there's nothing wrong with this shelter!" Wu Rui said as he patted his chest. Then, he asked, "Don't you think it's time you tell me why you built this shelter?"

Before Gu Changqing replied, Zhang Hu poured a glass of wine for Wu Rui and said with a chuckle, "Of course, it's for the apocalypse. It'll be here on June 1st, Children's Day."

"What?"

A skeptical expression appeared on Wu Rui's face when he heard these words.

Zhang Hu downed the wine and lit a cigarette. Then, he said with a smile, "It's up to you to believe it or not. In any case, I have 100% trust in my boss' words. If you believe it, you best bring your family here during these two days."

"This..."

Gu Changqing took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said, "There's no rush. You have one day to consider it."

Wu Rui gritted his teeth and finally said, "I believe you! I'll bring my family here tomorrow!"

In any case, June 1st was fast approaching. If it was true, it would be a blessing. If it was fake, it would not affect anything.

Following that, Wu Rui took Gu Changqing on a tour of the shelter that cost tens of billions.

Electricity was generated by windmills, solar panels, and 50,000 large generators. There were more than 300,000 tonnes of fuel stored underground.

The entire place was highly protected.

The construction team had dug dozens of meters into the ground, reinforcing it with concrete and steel plates.

Gu Changqing was only worried about the lack of power in the electric fence, allowing the vicious birds to sneak in.

There were also a few factories such as textile factories and food processing factories that produced daily necessities. The materials needed for production were also stored here in large quantities.

There was also farmland for vegetation. Gu Changqing had bought all kinds of seeds, and they were stored in this place as well.

As for meat… Gu Changqing only needed to hunt those mutated beasts. Their meat was very delicious. He had also prepared huge freezers to store the meat.

By the time Gu Changqing was done inspecting the shelter, it was already evening. He checked all the important areas and was very satisfied.

After the inspection, the group of people went to the largest building in the shelter.

Wu Rui did not stay. Instead, he went back to explain the situation to his family.

On the other hand, Gu Changqing had no intention of leaving. The gold worth 160 billion had been transported to the shelter yesterday. Everything was ready now. All he had to do was wait for June 1st to come.
