Chapter 1152

The entire Jianghai City sank once more into utter silence.

The people who had been terrified earlier lifted their heads, wiping their eyes, trying to confirm whether what they had seen was an illusion.

When they opened their eyes again, they found... the moon had indeed reappeared in the sky.

Su Han remarked, "Surprised? Not surprised? Jianghai City residents: '......'"

Although they were glad to see the moon return,

thinking back on the moon's earlier disappearance and gazing at the large, round moon hanging in the sky, everyone exchanged silent glances, their faces filled with bewilderment.

What is going on? Is this some kind of new April Fools' prank? Moreover, Su Han could hear numerous uncertain murmurs rising from around the city beneath his feet.

"...... I just thought I saw the moon vanish. Looks like I've been under too much mental stress lately—must've imagined it! Should I take a leave of absence from my boss and rest properly?"

"What a coincidence! I just saw the moon disappear too."

"Seems like... we're quite fated."

"......"

"......"

One person might have had a hallucination, but after discussion, they realized everyone else who had looked up at the sky had also seen the moon vanish.

This could no longer be explained away as mere hallucination.

After a brief discussion, some people snapped to attention, immediately pulling out their phones and logging onto Tianhe Weibo—sure enough, the platform was flooded with posts.

【Shocking! The Moon Disappeared—The World Faces Doomsday!】【Earlier the Earth Caves, Now the Moon Vanishes—Humanity Cannot Escape Annihilation】【Three Minutes Ago! Major Global Powers Issue Martial Law, Military Zones Enter Combat Readiness】【After the Earth Caves, a New Foe Has Appeared】Weibo exploded; Tianhe Corporation deployed several sealed high-end computers to handle the traffic.

Even so, they could barely prevent Tianhe Weibo from collapsing—the webpage loading speed slowed to nearly unbearable levels.

Su Han listened to the voices all around him, pondered for a long while, then pulled out his phone and scrolled through Weibo one last time.

He now roughly understood the scale of the reaction his actions had triggered across the world.

"...... If those guys knew I was behind this—what would they think?"

Su Han muttered. If the Grandmasters of Huaxia and the world at large learned it was Su Han who did this, those guys would certainly... certainly forgive him.

After all, their fists weren't as big as his, and they already owed him several enormous favors.

Morally, logically, publicly, privately—they dared not, and could not, say a word.

After thinking it over, Su Han sent out several messages.

They were addressed to Grandmaster Dama, Grandmaster Xiao Ma, Li Hongtian, and Zhang Mingbei—all of whom he had phone numbers for.

Across the vast expanse of Huaxia, Su Han knew only these few Grandmasters.

He slipped his phone back into his pocket, yawned, then returned to his room to sleep.

...... Beijing conference room.

Grandmaster Dama sat there with a solemn expression; hundreds of personnel filled the room.

Each was either a hero of peak Grandmaster cultivation or a national titan wielding immense power and governing vast regions.

Even Grandmaster Dama's status placed him only in the second seat—the vice-chair.

"I've summoned you all here because of the recent lunar anomaly."

The elderly man at the top sat calmly, his voice low. He was Zhao Zhu, Director of the Huaxia Grandmaster Bureau.

Formerly Huaxia's number one Grandmaster.

In his youth, Old Master Zhao had fought his way across the world with his iron fists, hailed as one of the world's supreme masters.

The anchor of Huaxia.

"I've ordered all media outlets to steer public perception as quickly as possible—labeling the lunar anomaly as a peculiar astronomical phenomenon."

Zhao Zhu sighed deeply, his expression grim, then fell silent.

But everyone in the room understood exactly what he meant.

Even if he could suppress the news and calm the populace,

that didn't mean the situation was truly resolved.

Precisely because of their high positions and authority, they had received the first-hand intelligence: the moon had not been obscured by some astronomical event—it had truly vanished.

Though the moon later reappeared, this only deepened their dread, for it proved an extraordinarily terrifying entity had first destroyed the moon, then remade it—all within the span of mere breaths.
