The rumbling was almost upon them. The shadows in the distant sky scattered, oxygen arrived first, and then emerald-green vitality surged toward them.
From every direction, the world returned to spring.
The collapsing world beneath their feet was covered by the black soil's primordial space, which then connected with the immensely powerful "spring" advancing from all sides.
"Vitality" swept through the world.
The energy of three iterations of the world was piled into one.
Well.
It was a little... overnourished.
And then-
Grass grew on the vibrant ground, suddenly shooting up to an enormous height;
Trees sprouted from underground, soaring straight into the sky;
Little flowers grew larger than their heads...
Energy still permeated the air, but it was all the energy of life. Just breathing it in made people excited-and plants and other living things, too.
As a result, the people who had just been standing in the collapsing Scorched Earth World were knocked who knew where by suddenly emerging trees, vines, flowers, grass, and even rising mountains.
The sky cleared. True spring had arrived.
Southwest Base.
As oxygen grew ever scarcer, everyone had huddled inside a space where it could be artificially generated.
Cheng Bairuo and the others absorbed energy while protecting humanity.
Even when oxygen reached zero, they continued carrying out the nation's orders. At that moment, though they were scattered across the country, they fought shoulder to shoulder.
When breathing grew harder and harder.
Cheng Bairuo still refused to give up, and the others never stopped either.
They all shared one thought-
Fight until death.
They kept holding on like that, until they thought they were about to die...
Huh?
They could breathe again?
Huh?
What was this green stuff around them?
"Aaaah, plants!"
"Holy shit, the world's changed!"
"Be careful, everyone! Get aboveground!"
"Hahahahaha!"
