"Everything's settled, it's time to leave."
Lu Yuan glanced at the three lifeless bodies beside him.
Without saying much, he headed straight to the place where the meteor had fallen.
It was a large crater, still emitting heat.
In the middle was an irregular, pitted stone, showing no special features.
He then crouched down, picked it up, and could feel the heat radiating from it.
Within it, there was a kind of extraterrestrial divine artifact.
It was also something he must obtain.
Originally, Lu Yuan planned to rest for a night after securing it before leaving.
But upon hearing the information from Captain Zhao, he fell into deep thought.
"Many major forces have noticed this meteor shower and have already started to act. Besides this piece in my hand, most of the meteorites disappeared during entry into the atmosphere. Even if others fell, they contained nothing, so they will definitely continue to investigate secretly."
Lu Yuan thought that these major forces were very capable, and his purchase of the farm would surely be discovered.
If he simply took the meteorite, they might become suspicious.
There was no way to tamper with the crater.
And with only a few days left.
He didn't want any accidents.
So, after a brief consideration.
Lu Yuan didn't hesitate and forcefully shattered the meteorite.
Immediately, strands of black powder fell to the ground, and soon most of the meteorite was completely broken.
Only the very center remained.
It was a palm-sized black sword embryo.
But it was very rough, showing no special features.
However, the sword embryo was very heavy, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain some special power.
But for some reason, it waxed and waned, as if sealed.
Lu Yuan understood.
This was because the celestial changes had yet to occur, and the sword embryo had not fully awakened.
Once the time comes, it will display unimaginable power.
In the previous era,
there was a peerless master who wielded this sword embryo, swept across the world, cutting through the skies, and reigned supreme.
He once saw from afar that after a slashing blow, the sword's light overshadowed even the sun's rays, seemingly capable of slicing stars, and those beneath the blow vanished in an instant.
Describing it as a sword that shatters the nine heavens is not an exaggeration.
Thus,
this sword embryo has another name, Daluo Sword Embryo!
"It's time to go."
Lu Yuan collected his thoughts and placed the sword embryo into his arms.
He had completely crushed the meteorite, so even if the major forces had suspicions, they would first analyze the powder.
Besides, he was just an ordinary person, unlikely to attract much attention, and even if they reacted afterward.
By then, the celestial changes would have already begun.
Very soon.
Lu Yuan returned to the farmhouse villa.
He moved the Wordless Stone Stele out and drove away immediately.
Today was bound to be chaotic, staying here would only bring trouble, so leaving was the best option.
And just as he predicted.
Within less than an hour of Lu Yuan's departure.
A group of people arrived at the farm, all dressed in black, with sharp eyes, but they had firearms, making them more formidable in combat.
Upon seeing the crater and the dead bodies of Captain Zhao and others, they immediately realized.
"It's Longevity Gene; the identity of the person who acted is unknown, report to the boss."
The leader spoke, intending to report the situation.
The rest of the group.
Searched around, and upon finding the meteorite powder, prepared to collect it.
But then, several more groups arrived, driving in.
They belonged to different forces.
Seeing each other, they almost didn't speak and started fighting right away.
In an instant, the scene became chaotic, with the sounds of fighting and gunfire ringing out.
But these people were cautious; after securing the meteorite powder, they chose to withdraw separately.
At the same time.
In Hu City.
Inside a luxurious villa.
Zhou Yunqiong sat on a leather sofa, gently swirling the red wine in her hand.
She was truly beautiful, her shapely figure barely hidden by the loose robe.
"Miss."
At this moment, Uncle Zuo approached, respectful: "We just received news that the farm located in the Wuzhou Suburbs indeed had a meteorite fall. Longevity Gene's people were waiting there but were killed. The person who did it is very skilled, not an ordinary human."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunqiong frowned: "What about the meteorite?"
"It turned to powder; our people got some and are preparing to send it to the lab for study."
Uncle Zuo replied, after a moment of thought, continued, "However, Celestial God Technology and Beidou Biotechnology also obtained some during the chaos."
The people heading to that farm naturally included Wuzhou Group members.
And during the great battle.
Various forces acquired some of the meteorite powder.
Although they didn't manage to buy certain Lands of Fallen Stars, it wouldn't hinder their secret investigations, though those would be of lower priority.
"It's interesting how they publicly claim not to fight but strike in the dark."
Zhou Yunqiong sneered, sipped her wine, and spoke again: "I heard that farm was bought by my classmate Lu Yuan?"
"Yes."
Uncle Zuo took out a file: "He made the move before us, so we missed out, and he has been staying on the farm during this time, but was nowhere to be seen tonight. Miss, should we look into him, see if he discovered anything?"
The implication was clear, suggesting Lu Yuan might have been involved.
"No need."
Zhou Yunqiong shook her head: "He's just an ordinary person."
"Back in college, every classmate around me was thoroughly investigated, with nothing special about them."
"Didn't you secretly take their hair to analyze? None had any awakening potential."
From the start, she hadn't cared about her so-called college classmates.
The reason was simple.
They were all just ordinary people.
Not of the same world as herself, thus not worth noticing.
As for the farm, it was just a coincidence.
And even if it wasn't a coincidence.
What ability did Lu Yuan have to deal with Longevity Gene's people? He was too weak.
"Yes."
Uncle Zuo also thought he was overthinking it and nodded.
Soon, the whole world will change.
Ordinary people will remain at the bottom, incapable of causing any stir, except for those with great fortuitous encounters.
Lu Yuan might have some money, but it would all become worthless after the change, and if it weren't for his connection with the Miss, he would not even be worth mentioning.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The meteorite is a minor issue, has that person been found?"
Zhou Yunqiong waved a hand, turning to another topic.
That person.
Was indeed the major concern for Wuzhou Group!
