NOVEL WEB Chapter 42 Chaos Arrives
```
Tang Sanzang uttered an "oh," and began to understand; it seemed that this planet must not have any cultivators left.
Or rather, under the interference of those extraneous Chaos beings, cultivators had disappeared, leaving only so-called technology behind.
At this thought, Tang Sanzang felt somewhat displeased. These bastards were casting a net that would eradicate their very foundations!
In Tang Sanzang's memories, during the primeval times, there had been those who committed such extremely vile acts.
He remembered one time a clan had offended a demon god, who didn't bother to take action himself, but instead descended as a savior to that tribe, imparting upon them the path of technology.
There was nothing wrong with the path of technology inherently—if it could continue indefinitely, it would eventually converge with the path of cultivation.
However, the problem was that technology was inherently limited by materials, and good materials were often controlled by powerful cultivators.
Without formidable power and endless resources to support it, rashly stepping onto the path of technology basically equated to cutting off one's own future.
But the cruelest part wasn't just that...
It was that once technology reached a certain stage, it could take care of people's basic needs, like manufacturing and cultivating ordinary food. This should have been a good thing, but the problem arose precisely because the demon god descended as a guardian deity. He protected the tribe, ensuring no foreign power dared to invade, or even to show themselves.
Similarly, he used Mana to sever that tribe from the rest of the world. The tribe thought they had mastered the whole world, but in fact, they were merely holding a clump of clay in their palm.
The tribe continued to develop. Without the threat of powerful enemies and the worries of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, this perfect utopia emerged in reality.
People stopped working, ceased to seek progress, and their days revolved around nothing but eating and playing…
Gradually, society began to see a phenomenon where everyone had access to basic resources, no longer anxious about survival, but if they wanted a better life, they had no choice but to bow to those in power.
Those in power naturally amassed more women, and even men.
As a result, men began to gradually become effeminate, disguising themselves as women or slaves, adorning themselves intricately to curry favor with those in power.
As a large number of men began to become effeminate and human society formed its various closed loops, the lower-class people realized that a lifetime of effort could barely change their own lot, and simply gave up trying, joining the ranks of those merely drifting through life waiting for death.
In the end, men began to die off in large numbers...
As men died off, women's ability to give birth also became a problem.
Incestuous marriages, reckless mating, various deformed children began to appear...
And what was even more terrifying, was that no deformed children appeared at all!
The tribe was reduced at a frightening rate, eventually self-destructing amidst this so-called happiness.
Only when humanity had been extinguished did the demon god finally show himself, collecting the souls of all those who had fallen to despair...
To die in pleasure, a sinister and brutal method...
Yet Tang Sanzang hadn't expected that one day this tactic would be used against them.
With this thought, he was very unhappy, very angry!
Just at that moment...
Tang Sanzang suddenly looked up!
At the same time, the few satellites that remained in the world also turned their gaze to the depths of space!
All the telescopes on the ground were pointed there!
At that moment, the leaders of various countries around the world received a message, simultaneously opening their computers, as a video started to play!
Out in the depths of space, a dazzling white light surged forth. At first, it was just like a small star, unremarkable.
```
But this white light was getting closer and closer, and as it continued to approach, the entire starry sky began to tremble slightly.
The moment he entered the Pure Yang Star System, the entire star system trembled!
The outermost celestial body of the Pure Yang Star System was a star known as the Da Yan Star, a planet whose existence had always been controversial.
Because its size was neither large nor small, some people considered it a planet, while others thought it was merely a shooting star, or even just a large meteorite.
But everyone had to admit, even if Da Yan Star was small, it was still much larger than the largest country on Earth...
It was such a large celestial body that, before the white light even got close, it exploded with a bang, disintegrating into powder and turning into a fireworks display in the starry sky!
At that moment, all of humanity was shocked...
They stared intently at the screens, eager to see what this white light truly was!
The white light drew nearer and nearer, and wherever it passed, all the stars trembled as if they were about to explode at any moment...
Meanwhile, people could also see the nature of the white light clearly, it turned out to be a Sword Qi!
A Sword Qi that had traversed unknowable light years, countless star systems, decimating an untold number of stars along the way!
In that moment, those who had been skeptical about supernatural phenomena finally realized they might have been looking at things the wrong way...
But they no longer had the chance to think too much about it; with such an overbearing and terrifying Sword Qi approaching, even if the entire star system's weapons systems were fully activated, they would stand no chance.
Despair, unparalleled despair!
People's eyes bulged, their mouths hung open, and they fell silent...
"Mr. President, what should we do? Should we make a public announcement?" Similar questions arose in every country around the world.
Some presidents felt that humanity was about to face an extinction-level disaster, and since there was no escaping it, they might as well face it together—at least they'd die knowing...
Others thought the information should not be shared, to let people enjoy their last moments of ease; after all, dying ignorant could also be a kind of happiness.
...
Regardless, at that moment, people fell into despair and gave up resisting.

On the main streets of Jinta City, a woman in white slowly lifted her head, her brows slightly furrowed, "Path of Extinction, disciple of the Seven Stars Saint, Feng Tu? After much difficulty, I finally found a native cultivator to interrogate about the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Holy Embryo, how could I let you ruin my plans?"
After she spoke, the woman flicked her finger, and an ice crystal shot towards the sky. The ice crystal, dragging a trail of white light, instantly reached the starry sky. Then, it expanded from nowhere into a frigid ice shield, blocking the Sword Qi's inevitable path!
The extremely sharp Sword Qi collided with the white icy shield, unleashing a divine light that shocked the heavens!
The divine light spread out, and while there were no repercussions on the ice shield's side, beyond the shield, chaos reigned!
Seven celestial bodies out of the thirteen major planets in the Pure Yang Star System turned to dust in the explosions...
Witnessing this scene, all human political leaders were stunned.
After the shock came celebration!
Although they did not know who had saved them, they were content to be alive.
Just then, a female voice rang out, "Feng Tu, I am the Holy Maiden of the Ten Ice World, Baishi Nu, and I have taken a liking to this star."
As she spoke, people saw a white figure appear out of nowhere in the starry sky, a stunningly beautiful woman with long hair down to her shins, clad in snow-white garments, barefooted!
Her beauty was indescribable, with the three-dimensional features of a Westerner mixed with the gentleness of the East, a delicacy that made her seem like a porcelain doll...
