Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations Chapter 344 - Twelve Hours Before Earth’s Destruction

In the vastness of space, a Gana observer made an incredibly swift impact with the far side of the Moon.

At the precise moment of collision, the observer’s form was instantly enveloped by a protective force field.

Subsequently, a light of extreme brilliance exploded from the impact point.

This effulgence surpassed even the sun's rays, casting such an intense glow that the sky seemed to contain only the Moon.

An unseen barrier of force field diligently shielded the Gana observer, converting the observer's velocity into a tremendous power that propelled the Moon towards Earth.

Following the impact, the observer's physical being assumed the Moon's original position in orbit.

The Moon itself, however, teetered on the brink of disintegration after the forceful collision.

No longer a perfect sphere, the Moon began to sink in the direction of the observer's impact.

Viewed from the side, its shape warped from a sphere into a distorted hemisphere, elongated at both extremities.

Debris resembling mountains erupted from the lunar surface, subsequently breaking free from the Moon's gravitational pull and hurtling towards Earth with astonishing velocity.

The Moon's orbital path had been significantly altered by this event. It continued its journey around the Earth, yet its trajectory was now significantly altered.

Its approach towards Earth accelerated, drawing closer by approximately 500 meters per second.

This rate of lunar approach was not static; it continued to increase.

With the Earth and Moon typically separated by 380,000 kilometers, the celestial bodies were now set on a collision course, slated for impact in merely 12 hours and 40 minutes.

Throughout this ordeal, the Gana observer remained concealed behind the Moon, utilizing it as a formidable shield against any potential attacks from Earth.

Knowledge inherited from its advanced civilization had taught the observer that prey, when nearing its final moments, would exhibit the most desperate and unpredictable struggles. Therefore, vigilance was paramount; complacency would risk the utter failure of meticulously laid plans.

“While the complete assimilation of Earth’s civilization is a regrettable outcome,”

“This course of action presents the most secure path forward.”

The Gana observer resolved to await the Moon’s catastrophic impact with Earth before dispatching its subordinate units for the harvesting process.

Upon Earth’s disintegration, all its constituent matter would be exposed to the frigid vacuum of space. The extreme cold would serve to freeze and preserve everything.

This preservation extended even to the planet's biomass.

The only inconvenience would be the extended timeframe required for biomass collection, a minor issue for the Gana observer.

…

Within Dragon City's battle command center, the piercing wail of alarms resounded once more.

“Warning! Warning! A significant impact has occurred on the Moon.”

“The Moon’s orbital trajectory has been drastically altered!”

“The Moon is now approaching Earth at a velocity of 500 meters per second!”

“Impact with Feizhou is imminent within 12 hours.”

“Based on projected impact force, Earth’s disintegration probability stands at 95%!”

“All human inhabitants, please prepare yourselves!”

Upon witnessing the news unfold on the colossal display screen, both Lin Tian and Wang Kui felt an overwhelming sense of depletion, their physical strength completely sapped. They sagged limply into their chairs.

“Humanity is rendered utterly insignificant!”

“In comparison to cosmic entities capable of obliterating celestial bodies, we are no more than plankton, perhaps even less.”

“Once discovered by a creature of this magnitude, our doom was sealed.” Lin Tian’s voice trembled with profound despair.

“Prophet Leader, I wish to return home. I long to spend my final moments with my family!” Lin Tian pleaded, his gaze fixed on Li Chengqian with fervent hope.

At this critical juncture, Earth's fate seemed sealed. Any further resistance appeared futile.

Nonetheless, bound by the influence of Profession skills, Lin Tian remained loyal to Li Chengqian. Despite his desperate longing to return home, his departure hinged upon Li Chengqian’s consent.

“Prophet Leader, my desire is also to go home! Due to my commitments, I haven't had adequate time with my loved ones recently,” Wang Kui expressed, his voice tinged with longing.

Li Chengqian remained in contemplative silence for a full thirty seconds before speaking with unwavering resolve.

“We have 12 hours and 40 minutes remaining!”

“We are not yet defeated. The Earth has yet to disintegrate!”

“If we surrender hope now, all possibility vanishes!”

“We cannot yield!” Li Chengqian declared with steely determination.

“There remains a viable strategy. If we can shatter the Moon into fragments, then even if its remnants impact Earth, disintegration can be averted!” Li Chengqian’s gaze bore intensely onto the large screen.

“By detonating the Moon, we can then unleash our weaponry upon the alien aggressor!”

“We shall tear it asunder! We will reduce it to mere cosmic debris!” Li Chengqian adamantly refused to accept the potential nullification of all his second life’s endeavors.

“We must not give up!” Having uttered these words, Li Chengqian, disregarding the reactions of Lin Tian and Wang Kui, addressed the screen directly. “Bai Ze, provide a comprehensive status update on the energy, network, weaponry, and radar systems! I require a complete report.”

“Energy system: 90% damaged!”

“Earth’s network system: 98% compromised!”

“Quantum radar integrity: 100% operational!”

“Command intelligence combat system completeness: 95% functional!”

“Solar cannon completion has reached 30%!”

“Normal light-speed power cannon completion stands at 80%. There are still 25 units available for use.”

“The destructive light-speed power cannons remain undamaged. All five are ready, but due to the power system malfunction, we only have enough energy for one shot. We must wait 20 hours to accumulate sufficient energy for another launch.”

“All 31 self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft are operational!”

“All seven points of the starfire inheritance project worldwide have sustained damage!”

“Construction of the cosmic migrant spacecraft is 30% complete. It was unfortunately damaged during the earthquake.”

“The planetary explosion device is fully functional!”

“The galactic satellite remote sensing system is operating at full capacity!”

Numerous weapons detailed by Bai Ze this time were unfamiliar to both Lin Tian and Wang Kui.

“Scan the lunar conditions!”

“Deploy all our armaments and devise a battle strategy to obliterate the Moon!”

Following Li Chengqian’s command, an immense volume of data streamed into the intelligent combat command system, displayed on the large screen. It detailed the Moon’s orbital path, operational status, location, and the feasibility of its destruction!

“Calculating battle plan… estimated completion within 30 minutes.”

Swiftly thereafter, Li Chengqian issued further orders. “Bai Ze, mobilize the magnetic aircraft and transport my family and friends here.”

“Activate the life detection radar and rescue all surviving Divine Dragon people. Convene them to this location.”

“Yes, Master! One thousand magnetic aircraft and 542 combat platforms have been mobilized. The mission is anticipated to conclude within one hour.”

The magnetic aircraft swiftly ascended. Guided by the life radar, they began pulling imperiled lives into their cabins.

As Li Chengqian observed the departing magnetic aircraft, he led Lin Tian and Wang Kui out of the battle command center. Stepping outside, their gaze fell upon scenes of devastation: buildings in ruins, uncontrolled fires raging, and human lives brutally extinguished!

The city, ravaged by the earthquake, was reduced to rubble, intersected by flames and the chilling presence of death. Where a once-thriving metropolis stood, only desolation remained. Distant cries of despair, desperate pleas for help, and piercing screams echoed from all directions.

Further away, the majestic mountains, once beautiful, had collapsed. Towering skyscrapers toppled like a row of dominoes, accompanied by thunderous crashes. In the face of nature’s fury, life proved incredibly fragile! Man-made structures, too, were revealed to be utterly vulnerable!
