Chapter 293 The Eclipse
Zi Yanrou shook her head. " No need. I am fine like this."
" Really?"
Zi Yanrou hugged Jun Tianyun. " Well, The good thing is… I got nominated for the best FL write of the year."
" Oh, Damn!" Jun Tianyun was also surprised. " Well, I told you. You got the talent. Hehe, Just wait till you win."
Jun Tianyun rubbed his chin. " Well, Since the occasion is special, How about I make some artwork for your novel?"
" You will?" Zi Yanrou was pleasantly surprised. Jun Tianyun nodded as he looked at Zi Yanrou with a smirk.
" But to do that, I need some inspiration. So, Are you ready to give me inspiration?"
" Huh? Wha-"
Zi Yanrou became startled when JuN Tianyun picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
" Sigh, Men will be men."
The night slowly passed as Jun Tianyun made several artworks for Zi Yanrou's novel. There were two artworks of Mr. Lu, two of Yu'er, and rest three of them depicted Mr. Lu and Yu'er together.
But, Jun Tianyun didn't forget the hide the nsfw artwork behind the special paywall. He definitely won't let go of the opportunity to squeeze out extra money from the readers.
Amidst the night of painting and romance, Zi Yanrou became tired as she fell asleep in Jun Tianyun's arms. Jun Tianyun also closed his eyes as he went to God's Space.
" Hmm? Sister Su, What are you doing?" Jun Tianyun asked curiously when he saw Su Qingyao was observing something.
Those were the energy crystals he got from zombies. Su Qingyao looked at Jun Tianyun as she replied.
" I was just checking these things. I can feel a trace of strange aura in them."
" Is that so?" Jun Tianyun also took some samples from the zombie bodies. Now he got the time, he can research properly.
Since World Law is interested in this matter, Jun Tianyun knew it wasn't as simple as it looks. Not to mention, this apocalypse happened due to the mysterious solar eclipse and meteor shower.
So, It's not a virus that was made in labs.
But Jun Tianyun was still trying to find out the root of the mutation. How did the eclipse and meteor shower cause the mutation?
" System! Create an advanced laboratory. Create a V5 Refinement Machine, A Laser Scanning Machine, a Super Argumentive Quantum Computer…"
Since Jun Tianyun had the memory of Mechanical God, he can easily build these things in God's Space by spending some Fortune Points.
But still, Since God's Space can simulate everything, Jun Tianyun can get perfect results here. Jun Tianyun first scanned the energy crystals.
His Eyes of Fortune revolved as he could see the energy crystal from various perspectives.
" These energy crystals contain highly radioactive energy. I can't even draw a rune on it, else it will explode." Jun Tianyun spoke.
" There is no trace of the virus. So, we can assume the zombie apocalypse started from the mutation due to solar eclipse and meteor shower."
Su Qingyao held the crystal as he showed it to Jun Tianyun. " But, can you notice a trace of black energy in it?"
Jun Tianyun's Eyes of Fortune flashed as he could see a string of black energy in it.
" Yes, I can see it. Now you say… I am also curious." Jun Tianyun sat on the Throne of Fate as his gaze turned resplendent.
The black colored string trembled as Jun Tianyun started to peek into the past.
Suddenly, he could see the fragment of the zombie's memory. Everything started with the solar eclipse.
The eclipse lasted for a whole day throughout the entire planet. Since it was simply unnatural. Jun Tianyun guessed that something entirely blocked the sun.
The immediate effect of the eclipse was the withering of crops and the soil turning infertile. Not to mention, the water sources started to contaminate.
It lasted for an entire year. Not to mention, people started to become more aggressive and feral afterward. A gradual decline of moral value and entering a dystopian future.
After a year, the meteor shower happened. The shower was massive as it wiped out 50% of humanity in one go. As for the remaining ones, they started fighting for the remaining resources.
But then, the zombie apocalypse started. The remaining nations united as they tried to suppress the situation. But it was of no use,
Rather than that, they put a major population in hibernation sleep for decades. And the remaining one started to build bases.
For decades, they fought against the mutation and tried to find a cure for it, However, everything was futile.
However, Thanks to the Ability Users, they managed to keep the situation barely balanced. But after that, there was no point in the country or government as they all tried to survive in the end.
Although Jun Tianyun liked to watch history, he wasn't interested in that. However, when he tried to peek at the source of the eclipse, his expression changed.
The Astral Realm darkened as Jun Tianyun saw suddenly saw the sun being covered by a gigantic body. When he tried to look at it, he froze.
The body looked humanoid, but it was black, pitch black. Suddenly, white veins appeared on it as they spread open, turning into eyes.
The body was filled with terrifying eyes, a mere gaze can raze down a world. A black colored energy seeped into the sun as it fell on the Planet Gaia.
After a year, the body exploded as it condensed into a massive black star. The black star shattered as the meteor shower happened.
However, Jun Tianyun's breath turned short when he saw a gigantic hand manifesting across the sun.
It was an incomparable celestial hand, enough to crunch down the sun with its fist. The hand was made of countless emerald stars that shone with a vicious light.
Jun Tianyun could see the cracks appearing across the Astral Realm around him as his Throne of Fate buzzed. However, Jun Tianyun focused on what happened in the end.
Although the gigantic hand grabbed the exploding dark star, over half of it escaped and landed on Planet Gaia. The black star turned into a large meteor shower as it crashed on the Planet Gaia.
The hand tried to chase the escaping fragments. However, when the fragments landed on Planet Gaia, they created a barrier around the planet, preventing the hand from gathering the fragment.
Jun Tianyun took a deep breath as he closed his Eyes of Fortune. The Astral Realm cracked as it returned to nothingness. Jun Tianyun calmed down as he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
" As expected, This is even more trickier than I expected. Hah, It was more looking like the aftermath of a fight between gods." Jun Tianyun sighed.
" Now you said it, It is indeed a possibility." Su Qingyao spoke. " Perhaps the meteors contained the energy of the dead god and seeped into the world?"
" Most people who couldn't handle the energy became zombies. But those who were lucky, they obtained superpowers."
Jun Tianyun was enlightened when he heard Su Qingyao. " Indeed, That was a good possibility. Haha, Big Sis Qingyao is smart as always."
" Well, If that's the case, Our plan has to change a bit." Jun Tianyun's eyes flashed with a bright light.
" I should prepare then."
Jun Tianyun got up from the Throne of Fate and started simulating the black energy in various ways. He simulated 100 variations in a single time.
Meanwhile, he studied the Heavenly Treasure Forging Art as he improved his armor making skills.
Soon, time passed as he was immersed in research and forging in God's Space.
Here, the morning sun rose as Zi Yanrou got up. She saw Jun Tianyunw as lying beside her and she couldn't help but smile.
When she opened her laptop, her eyes couldn't help but turn wide.
" Art god! Art god is back!!"
" Wahhh! Yu'er looks so beautiful! Mr. Lu you lucky bastard! I want to marry Yu'er!"
" God! Mr. Lu looks so hot in his pose!! God, Let him bang me at least once!"
" Yeah! I won't mind getting ra-"
( Note: And that's enough internet for today. Now, give me your phone)
Zi Yanrou's face twitched when she saw the sudden surge of comments from her fans. Due to Jun Tianyun's artwork last night, Zi Yanrou's popularity spiked greatly.
She already jumped 10 positions and is now in the third position in the ranking. The comment was going crazy as the time passed.
Meanwhile, much speculation regarding Zi Yanrou also started to float around. Fans already making wild theories about Zi Yanrou having a boyfriend.
But nonetheless, Her novel popularity increased and she was happy.
When Jun Tianyun woke up, he saw coffee and cookies beside his bed. A warm smile spread on his face he got up and got fresh.
" Hm? Brother Jun, You are awake!"
" Huh? Mingzhu, Are you going to school?" Jun Tianyun asked as she saw Yan Mingzhu getting ready.
" Yeah, I forgot. Today is our school's cultural function day. I am going to perform a solo. So, Don't forget to come and watch me in the evening."
" Alright." Jun Tianyun petted her as he smiled. " I will be waiting for your outstanding performance."
After Yan Mingzhu left, Jun Tianyun got a phone call.
" Hmm? What? There are some problems in getting the contract from the government?" Jun Tianyun's eyes narrowed.
" Today is the meeting, Isn't it? I am coming, get the things ready."

I don't wanna scratch the old scar but...
The poor, humble scholar took a deep breath as he looked at the audience before him. His voice became lower as if he was whispering.
" Eclipse and...God Hands"
The hall turned silent for a moment before the suppressed rage of all cultured daoist burst forward.
" You fucking bastard! How dare you!"
" Beat him! Beat him up!"
(Note: It's a berserk reference)
