Chapter 47: The Arrival of the Apocalypse
It was undeniable that the impact of a statement from the national leaders was astonishing. In the afternoon, Liu Hui brought Director Xu to the hotel where Lin Feng was staying to discuss a major film project.
Director Xu was unaware of Lin Feng's background, but he knew that Lin Feng's reputation was extraordinary. With a smile, he asked, "Do you have a script for Divine Ruins? Are we inviting a Hollywood special effects team?"
"What aspects of special effects are most important?" Lin Feng inquired.
Director Xu explained, "Special effects encompass many areas. For instance, makeup is crucial; if it's an ancient fantasy epic, it might involve mythical beasts. To be specific, like the Divine Dragon. Our domestic special effects capabilities are limited; if we create a Divine Dragon, it won't be as realistic as what you can produce, and the effect won't be breathtaking."
"Special effects also include scene construction. For example, the settings must be realistic and impressive. Additionally, there are battle effects. When people fly, their movements need to be quick and agile, and the tracking effects must keep up. Moreover, many actions can't be performed by actors alone and require special effects to complete."
Listening to this introduction, Lin Feng replied, "These are not issues for me. I can provide realistic scenes and character appearances that replicate Ancient Times. As for battle movements, I can execute any complex action. What I need is a screenwriter, along with a team of top-notch cinematographers and an elite post-production team."
"Do you have a special effects team?" Director Xu asked.
Lin Feng did not answer directly; instead, he waved his hand, and palatial structures appeared in the air, shrouded in mist. "What do you think of this special effect?" he asked.
Director Xu stared in shock at the majestic palaces floating above him. After a long moment, he said, "What kind of technology is this? Even Hollywood can't produce such effects; it's too stunning and too realistic."
"As for the Divine Dragon? That's simple."
With a snap of his fingers, Lin Feng summoned the sound of a Dragon Roar as a massive Divine Dragon emerged from the clouds. Its body was enormous, resembling a mountain as it gazed down upon the earth. Its whiskers floated in the void.
"This... is incredibly lifelike! The details are astonishingly vivid. Is this produced by domestic special effects? Which company has such technology? It's remarkable!" Director Xu exclaimed in awe.
"What I can offer goes far beyond this. Can you create a blockbuster? A film that will astonish the entire world?" Lin Feng asked.
"Of course. These special effects are something even Hollywood can't replicate. We can showcase our special effects technology to the whole world," Director Xu exclaimed excitedly.
"I'll tell you about some of the main characters. You go find someone to write the script," Lin Feng said with a smile, remaining silent. This was nothing special; it was all a living reality. Naturally, there could be no rivals in this world.
Fifteen days later, the script was completed. The story was simple—a thrilling battle between gods and demons. In blockbuster films, what matters is the spectacle; amidst the chaos of war, there is genuine emotion. The story wouldn't be overly complicated.
The opening ceremony of Divine Ruins made headlines in various reports across A Country, even making it to the front pages of international entertainment news. This was because all the top male and female stars from A Country had joined the film, and they were all playing supporting roles, ready to be called upon at any moment. They might even just be extras.
Such a lineup was unprecedented. Everyone was speculating about the background of the investors behind Divine Ruins, wondering how they had such immense pulling power.
All filming for Divine Ruins took place within a cave created by Lin Feng. Inside the cave, the transformed palaces and scenes were all one-to-one replicas of real things. All the fighting involved real Walkers engaging in authentic combat. Inside the cave, battles raged fiercely without any impact outside.
Those involved in making the film believed it was all due to special effects. No one knew that real Walkers were participating everywhere.
A year later, Divine Ruins premiered. On its first day, it grossed over a billion, breaking all box office records in A Country's history—an unprecedented achievement.
The realistic scenes of Divine Ruins, the lifelike Fierce Beast Spirit Beast designs, the ancient costumes of characters, and the stunning battle effects left audiences in A Country thrilled, seeing hope for their own blockbuster films.
Seven days after its release, Divine Ruins accumulated thirty billion in box office revenue and received rave reviews. When Hollywood brought this film to theaters, its first-day earnings were modest—only a few million dollars. However, over the next three days, as word-of-mouth spread like wildfire, ticket sales skyrocketed. Ultimately, it grossed nearly a billion dollars in America.
Whether in A Country or across America, even worldwide, screenings reached 98%, with no empty seats available. Countless viewers bought tickets to watch it two or three times, feeling unsatisfied after just one viewing.
Hollywood's special effects team specifically studied how Divine Ruins achieved its effects but ultimately found themselves stumped; they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried. They could only fly to A Country to seek out the company that provided effects for Divine Ruins in hopes of collaboration. They were willing to pay any price to work with them.
Unfortunately, after Divine Ruins premiered, that company vanished without a trace.
"Divine Ruins" has become a global blockbuster, a film that makes people forget about race and leaves everyone in awe.
In the end, the worldwide box office has reached an unimaginable level, accumulating to a terrifying extent.
"Divine Ruins" maintained a 70% global screening rate for sixty days since its release. This was due to support from various governments and the fact that audiences genuinely loved it, watching it repeatedly without getting tired. Experiencing such a stunning film on a computer felt like torture.
Some even strongly demanded that "Divine Ruins" be shown permanently. As a result, cinemas around the world began to screen "Divine Ruins" indefinitely and without charge. In reality, the box office earnings had already reached an unimaginable level for them.
Lin Feng brought Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit to watch "Divine Ruins." While others were struck by its breathtaking scenes, to him, they were just ordinary images. However, there were some interesting moments that could be passed down forever.
With the completion of Desire, Lin Feng, Lin Miaomiao, and Wind Spirit no longer lingered in the mortal realm and began searching for a suitable place to enter seclusion for cultivation.
One year turned into two, time flew by swiftly. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years passed slowly. Lin Feng and the others remained in seclusion without emerging. Unbeknownst to them, a century had gone by.
On Desolate Star, changes began to unfold.
"Disciple of the Divine Ruins, come out and face your death; this deity has returned."
Tao Tie finally regained his peak state and descended upon the world once more. A powerful aura spread across the land, sweeping through the nine provinces and causing Desolate Star to tremble.
"Boom."
Tao Tie stomped his foot, creating a massive rift on Desolate Star, causing the upper half to split apart.
With just one stomp, half of the star was torn asunder. Tao Tie, as the leader of the four great ferocious beasts, unleashed a terrifying power that shook the nine provinces.
“Shishu is dead, and Market is blocked in the passage. Who else can stop me?”
As Tao Tie regained its peak power, it uncovered everything and felt no hesitation. Its expression was cold; in its eyes, all living beings were mere ants. With a single step, countless lives were extinguished, crushed into blood and bone.
The apocalypse had arrived.
To acquire more resources for survival, to seek the possibility of becoming an emperor, and for greater purposes, Tao Tie emerged, hastening the end of this era.
Not only for the human race but for all other beings, the age of destruction had come.
This was a ferocious beast, comparable to the Quasi-Emperor Realm. In the era of the Void Emperor, who could resist? To Tao Tie, a Sage was merely a morsel.
“Where is Divine Ruins? Hiding away?”
Tao Tie walked slowly, leaving behind countless dead and wounded, blood pooling into rivers. Cold and cruel, it crushed millions of lives without a blink.
“Have you hidden away? I can find you.”
As Tao Tie advanced, it killed countless innocent people. Eventually, it found the Divine Ruins Realm.
Boom…
Tao Tie struck with a punch against the Divine Ruins Realm, producing a sound that echoed through the stars. The protective array of the Divine Ruins Realm remained unbroken.
“Quite resilient; take another punch from me.” Tao Tie continued its assault.
Master Da, Dugu Po, the Guan Family, and the important figures led by Fire Vein from Raging Fire, along with the significant individuals from Li Jing's Divine General Manor, gathered here. They were joined by key figures from Wind Nation, Great Zhou, and Great Tang, including Elder Ji.
All the powerful cultivators of the human race were assembled in this place. The practitioners of the Sage Realm, led by Master Da and Elder Ji, exerted their full strength to disperse their cultivation energy, maintaining the integrity of the formation protecting the Divine Ruins Realm.
"Is this the end of days? Who can fight against the ferocious beasts of the Quasi-Emperor Realm?" He Rongsheng, the leader of Qingyun Sect, exclaimed in shock. He had also stepped into the False Saint Realm.
"Master Da, how much longer can we hold on like this?" Fire Ling'er asked, having also entered the False Saint Realm.
"Uncertain," Master Da replied gravely.
"A bunch of human ants have gathered here. This is convenient; it saves me the trouble of searching for you all to devour at once."
With that, Tao Tie continued to strike relentlessly, its massive fists crashing down upon the formation of the Divine Ruins Realm. The realm trembled violently, its glow gradually dimming.
Pfft...
Master Da was hit first, spitting out a mouthful of blood and turning pale. He had suffered severe injuries.
"Senior Brother, I will take over."
Dugu Po had now also entered the Sage Realm and quickly stepped in to replace Master Da. The Guan Family supported her as they too had reached the Sage Realm. Together, they worked to maintain the operation of the formation.
Pfft...
In less than a tea's time, Elder Ji could no longer withstand it and fell to the ground, spitting blood from the terrifying backlash.
"We're coming."
Qi Wan'er and Cold Rain took the lead, bringing He Rongsheng and all the Pseudo-Saints together, uniting their strength to fill the gap left by Elder Ji.
"A bunch of useless fools. I wonder how long you can hold on."
Tao Tie's expression was cold as he continued to throw punches. What seemed like a simple strike contained countless Great Dao Rules. With cultivation reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm, his Divine Ability had returned to its essence, devoid of unnecessary tricks.
In just the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, everyone in the Divine Ruins Realm fell to the ground, spitting blood. The formation within the Divine Ruins Realm lacked support, and with a Thunderous Roar, it shattered.
"Ants, come into my mouth."
Tao Tie stepped into the Divine Ruins Realm, looking coldly at everyone. (To be continued)
