"Haloo. I am here to tell you a very important information. You might think that it's crazy, nevertheless I hope you will still hear it till the end"
"From my 40 years of research and studies of hundred relics. I found very disturbing news. The world as we know it will be facing the biggest catastrophes ever. At the end of this year on the 31st, there will be a global electromagnetic pulse disaster covering the whole world. All electrical equipment will be fried. There will be no way to communicate and there will be chaos."
"And this is only the first disaster, the second one will be global pandemic diseases that will affect all living being in this world. There will be no cure and no hope for those who caught the disease. The disease will affect the animal to be stronger and aggressive and the one who died from the disease will turn back life into a living monster"
"On the 31st December, I suggest just stay at home. Do not go on any vehicles especially airplanes. When your relative or people around you caught the disease, be with them and say your final farewell. Cry for them but then, this is very important. Do not bury them, Burn them"
"Be prepared, foods, weapons, and shelter. Help each other. The relics write something about a massive structure that will drop from the sky a few months after the plague. Take your refuge there, do not wait around, the monster will only get stronger. The stronger monster will drop a crystal that will help human get stronger. I will show you."
The video then shows a thin and sickly person being given a white crystal and suddenly become as healthy and strong as an Olympic athlete.
"Please share this news, for those wants more answer, we will gather in Singapore 23 December at noon. If not, on the 31st when the first sign shows up do not forget my message. May the God save us all"

General Rico takes this message seriously. First, the message was played on all channel. It means that it was highly funded. It takes very skilled hackers and lots of resources to hack the world media channels.
Second, Rico is a cop he can read a person, he can tell the professor telling the truth or at least he believes it to be the truth. And it's quite easy to just google, and check that this really is a real Harvard professor.
Third, the general recognize that white stone. That's the same stone Alex gave to him. This might be related to Alex. At the very least he should find and ask this professor.
"There you are... you are late general" Alex walk up to the general with three-person, A guy with a wooden stick on his hand, an old man and a girl.
"I see you saw that video message, this will be easier then. let me introduce you this is Mr. James Randall, I believe as a police officer you already know him. Next is the professor from Harvard as you see from the video."
"Oh yes... and this is Aria she's from the army"
"..."
"This is general Rico, the one I talked about before"
Alex thanks James Randall for preparing a production team and team of hackers. This is the third favor he asked of The Randalls, and the fourth one will be the preparation of the gathering in Singapore on the 23rd. Alex gave him the two stones he promised. James already has totaled 6 stones, this should be enough for him to become high stage human realm, this way he wont need a walking stick anymore.
Next Alex tells his reason for asking the general to come here. It's to give the professor into his care. By helping Alex, the professor face already widely known, he could be in danger. Alex asks the general to put the professor into the protective custody program and deliver him to Singapore in 3 days.
Alex is really grateful that the professor willing to read the script Alex wrote. Since launching his book his reputation already ruin anyway. The professor hopes in his last day he would give a meaningful impact to the world.
The general asks "Despite it being true or fully fictional, do you think that the viewer will believe you?"
Alex respond "Even if I manage to only convince one in every 100, I would already be satisfied, I have done my duty to the world, but then I am sure when the first sign already proven, there will be more people who have view this video to believe me and prepared for the next disaster"

After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
