Explosion - 109

Zhou Fan quickly fell into a meditative state and time passed very fast.

-----------------------

After only a thousand years, Zhou Fan was woken up from his meditation by an immense shaking that rattled the entire Zhou world.

It was as if someone had picked the planet up and threw it as hard as they could. Without sparing a second, Zhou Fan teleported out of the palace and into the sky to see what was happening.

After a quick look at the world, Zhou Fan saw that besides shaking, there was nothing else happening. He began to ask himself what had happened, but his questions were answered after a single look into the sky.

Zhou Fan could see an energy moving towards the Zhou World at an incredible speed. It was many colors, but the majority of the energy wave was blue.

Zhou Fan could instantly tell what had happened after seeing the energy wave. The solar system's blue star had exploded.

Zhou Fan actually believed that the action had a term. Supernova.

Some of the cultivators in the Huang Long academy had started theorizing that some stars at the end of their lifespan would explode, or go supernova.

It had not been proven, but it was in the starting stages of becoming an official theory.

Zhou Fan had only read it casually as he did his yearly reading of the entire library with his divine sense. He never thought he would actually encounter it himself.

While thinking to himself, Zhou Fan realized that he didn't have time to have an inner conversation and instead needed to salvage the solar system.

Luckily, the blue star that exploded wasn't the one that gave heat to the Zhou World.

Zhou Fan looked up at space and teleported out instantly. His first action was to lock the space surrounding the supernova down so that it couldn't destroy every planet in the solar system.

However, Zhou Fan left a small space in the lockdown so that the wave of destructive energy could reach the Zhou World.

Although he wouldn't let the planet get hit by the energy wave, even though the planet was strong enough to withstand it, he wanted to see how the people of the world would react.

After all, even Zhou Fan had to put in some effort to lock down the exploding star. He wasn't confident in doing so if he was at the space shattering realm.

Thankfully, he had long been in the lesser dao creation realm.

After looking around in space, Zhou Fan saw that someone else was coming up. Alongside that person were 3 more figures.

Zhou Fan hastily made himself invisible before they could see him and watched, curious as to what they would do.

As the figures got closer, Zhou Fan saw who they were. Unsurprisingly, they were the four rulers of the Zhou World.

Anna led the group while everyone else traveled behind her. They eventually reached space and stood next to each other while watching the exploded star.

"What should we do?" The titanosaur asked after watching the explosion for a while.

"What can we do?" Anna asked back rhetorically.

"Let's go back down and try to defend ourselves and our people to the best of our ability." Anna said in a defeated tone.

After one look, she already knew that she couldn't match up to the energy wave. Zhou Fan looked at the energy wave once again when they left and estimated that in only ten minutes, the destructive energy would reach the planet.

In the meantime, Zhou Fan decided to double check the array he had put around the Zhou world when he was still giving it life. He had once considered whether or not to create an array for times of peril, but he had eventually decided to.

Of course, that was before his mortal dao had integrated with the Zhou World. In the past, he had believed that he would leave the world after a couple of years, but he had stayed after all this time.

After looking at the array, Zhou Fan realized that he needed to expand it and make it automatically expand with the Zhou World.

In the past, he hadn't known the world would ever expand and made the array fixed to one point. It was now only covering a small percent of the Zhou world and Zhou Fan had never cared enough to notice.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Fan fixed up the array and even powered it up to his current realm. Now, it would be able to block the supernova with ease, but Zhou Fan didn't want it to be so easy.

He chose to only have it activated at the last moment. That way, he could see what tricks the rulers had up their sleeves.

After fixing the array, Zhou Fan started to watch what the rulers did after seeing the energy.

Anna gathered the celestials at soul formation and higher and started to frantically create arrays around central city with them.

The titanosaur started to lead his species down to the dungeon that Zhou Fan created, an incredibly intelligent move that would allow them to survive even if Zhou Fan didn't interfere due to the arrays down there.

The dragon king led his subjects to the inside of his mountain and started to lay down arrays with them just like anna.

Finally, the monkey king and his people went to the floating palace and hid underneath it while creating arrays and formations on the sides, also an intelligent move that may allow them to survive if Zhou Fan didn't interfere.

As the energy wave was a few seconds away from the Zhou World, attacks shot up towards it in order to attempt to slow it down. They came from inside the hiding places as the rulers didn't want to risk getting injured outside.

The attacks were all extremely strong, but they had little to no effect on the raging energy pouring down from the skies.

Finally, the energy was feet away from the array that protected the Zhou World.
