Not long after the rule was announced, while the UHC convened to discuss countermeasures, many ordinary people flocked to Ascendant's Home's website to leave comments and make posts.
"Site Owner, do you have any secret intelligence on this rule?"
"If there's no way to deal with a Level 10 Earthquake, humanity really feels doomed..."
"Will all the shelters we live in be destroyed by then? Are they going to organize an immediate transfer to higher ground?"
"Higher ground won't help either, unless it's a space station in low Earth orbit."
"Come to think of it, weren't there commercial space flights before? Taking a rocket into space at the end of the month should avoid the earthquake, right? I wonder how many people they could take?"
"Forget about escaping into space. Even if it's feasible, only a small number of people would have the chance. Ordinary people would never get a spot."
"Isn't the UHC in a meeting right now? Hopefully they can come up with a solution..."
"It won't be that easy. You can tell from the reward this time. A Gold-grade Survival Chest has appeared for the first time. The danger level must be higher than previous survival-type rules."
"Why hasn't the Site Owner shown up yet?"
Guan Tong, the site owner in whom everyone had placed such high hopes, was currently staring at the Hidden Rules.
He had been looking at it for a minute or two, somewhat lost in thought.

[Hidden Rule Content: When an earthquake erupts, an Earth Vein Pillar will appear at the epicenter. Ascendants can connect themselves to the Earth Vein Pillar through contact. By continuously consuming their maximum Mind Power Cap, they can reduce the destruction caused by the earthquake to a certain extent.]
