655: Chapter 655 Chen Yun

"I—my legs can move! I can stand up!"

"Mom, I feel like I can fly!"

"What kind of power is this? Aren't the Aliens here to invade? Are they here to give us superpowers?"

"Give us superpowers? You're dreaming! They definitely have other motives, we just haven't discovered them yet!"

"No matter what their motive is, I feel like I can punch a rock to pieces right now! This feels so good!"

"Good? You don't even know what consequences this power will bring yet. Once everyone becomes stronger, will the law still be able to control them?"

Excitement and panic were intertwined, hope and despair coexisted; no one knew whether this was a blessing or a curse!

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous town in Dongda.

An elderly couple, both over sixty, stood in their courtyard, looking up at the pitch-black sky.

There was no panic on their faces like others; instead, there was a complex expression that was hard to describe.

A premonition of having waited for a long time, and finally waiting for something!

A young girl ran out from the fields.

She was wearing a simple floral dress, her hair casually tied into a ponytail, and on her feet were cloth shoes slightly dusty from the ground.

Her attire was extremely simple, yet it could not hide her natural beauty. Her features were exquisite, her brows and eyes painted like a picture, her skin as fair as jade, her figure tall and slender, standing gracefully and movingly—both pure and alluring!

She was the kind of beautiful girl who would be snatched up by a talent scout the moment she walked down the street!

Although she hadn't fully matured yet, she already possessed a face that rivaled top-tier actresses!

At this moment, her face was full of excitement as she ran in front of the two old people.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I think I've experienced an Awakening too! I just tried transforming a little, and wings grew out! Look!"

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Silvery-white light surged from within her body, enveloping her completely.

After the light faded, a pair of huge, pure white wings had grown on her back, just like an angel's wings.

Her hair also began to turn silvery-white from the roots—not the gray-white of the elderly, but a pure silvery-white like snowflakes!

Even the simple floral dress she wore seemed to be affected by this power, faintly glowing with white light!

Coupled with that exquisite face, at first glance, she truly looked like an angel who didn't eat food from the mortal world!

The old couple was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

They naturally also felt the Awakening.

The old man had just tried it; his power seemed to be increasing physical strength and recovery speed, which was better than nothing;

The old woman's Bloodline seemed to be just some low-tier one; when she tried it just now, she could only turn into a small kitten, the kind with no combat ability at all!

However, they were already old, and their mindset was stable; they didn't have any big ideas about these new powers, nor could they have any!

But seeing their granddaughter transform into such a holy appearance, the two old people were very happy.

"Good! Good! Good! My good granddaughter has become an angel! This is truly a blessing from our ancestors!"

"Good girl, these wings are real! They're soft and warm, exactly like the angels described in books."

Although they didn't know what had happened, being able to see their granddaughter become such a holy angel, even with the stubbornness of the older generation's concepts, they felt this was a huge blessing!

The world had changed, but as long as the family was safe, it didn't matter how much it changed!

"Hehehe~~~~" The young girl smiled sweetly.

It seemed as if the matter of the Aliens attacking had nothing to do with her at all.

---

Two and a half hours later.

Including Dongda, over a hundred countries jointly issued a statement, with very formal and serious wording.

"Regarding the abnormal energy fluctuation event that occurred globally today, after joint investigation by various countries, it is confirmed that Earth is suffering an invasion by an external force!"

"The specific intent of this force is not yet clear, but its actions have already posed a serious threat to Earth's safety!"

"Currently, all adult males and females seem to have obtained special powers!"

"The power obtained by males is an auxiliary support type, which can improve their own and others' physical strength and recovery ability; the Awakening for females is an ancient Spirit Beast Bloodline, possessing powerful combat ability!"

"Effective immediately, it is forbidden for anyone to use this power to commit wrongdoing; violators will be dealt with in accordance with the law!"

"All citizens who have obtained power are requested to go to the nearby village committee, town community, or police station to register and report, so that relevant departments can integrate power data and coordinate uniformly!"

"All citizens are requested to remain calm, not believe rumors, not spread rumors, and wait for further notice!"

"Those who spread rumors without authorization will be dealt with in accordance with the law!"

Once the news was released, the world was in an uproar.

But the vast majority of people still chose to follow the arrangements; after all, panic at this moment could not solve any problems.

The young girl went back into the house to change into clean clothes, then helped the two old people out the door.

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's go to the village committee to register too!"

The grandfather nodded, walking in front with his hands behind his back, his steps much steadier than usual.

He had just tried his power, which was better than nothing; although it wasn't strong, at least he didn't pant while walking, and his back had straightened up.

The grandmother walked in the middle, looking back at her granddaughter from time to time, her eyes full of love.

Along the way, people joined their group one after another.

Everyone was from the same town, seeing each other every day, and at this moment, they felt even closer to one another.

"Old Chen, are you guys going to the village committee too? Your granddaughter is really pretty! Does she have a partner? My boy just graduated from university this year; do you want them to meet?"

"Old Chen, your Yun'er is growing more beautiful by the day!"

"Xiao Yun, what Bloodline did you have an Awakening for? My daughter had an Awakening for a butterfly; she can fly and scatter powder, it's amazing!"

"What did my wife have an Awakening for? Seems like a wolf? Anyway, she's really happy, saying she wants to be my bodyguard in the future!"

---

Arriving in town, there were even more people gathered.

Many teenagers of the same age were gathered together, discussing their newly obtained powers, and when they saw Chen Yun coming over, their eyes lit up.

"Chen Yun! You're here too! Look what I had an Awakening for! I can shoot fireballs, cool right? If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you!"

"Chen Yun likes men who give a sense of security; what you have isn't enough!"

"Go away, what do you know? Chen Yun, look at my ability—"

"I can help girls improve their power; Yunyun must have had an Awakening for a very powerful Bloodline!"

Chen Yun was amused and laughed, but she still declined them one by one.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have time to consider these things right now."

This wasn't an excuse, nor was it because she was beautiful and therefore had high standards or thought too highly of herself.

She knew the situation at home better than anyone.

Her grandparents were old; although this mutation had improved their health a lot, they were still people over sixty!

The family's income relied entirely on a few acres of poor farmland and the little money she earned from odd jobs; they were barely getting by!

How could she have the mind to think about romance?
