After a thousand years of cultivation, he returns at the pinnacle!

One week later, Jiang Chen will challenge the Twelfth Apostle Hall!

Jiang Chen made the decision on the spur of the moment, though it was bound to happen sooner or later. But upon hearing the news, Ye Wuhen couldn't help but smile sincerely.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Ye Wuhen believed that his efforts over the years had yielded some results. Unfortunately, his power posed no threat when facing powerful apostles. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, possessed power from another dimension that was an immeasurably powerful existence for apostles as well.

In other words, Jiang Chen is humanity's hope today!

"Jiang Chen, I have one more thing to ask. Could you please broadcast it live?"

Jiang Chen nodded without thinking. These things were fine with him; he didn't care.

After confirming this, Ye Wuhen left the Jiang family.

That afternoon, news that Jiang Chen would challenge the Twelfth Apostle Hall and that the entire event would be broadcast live went viral and became a trending topic.

The announcement was short, only three lines long, but it was like a spark thrown into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting the entire internet.

[Announcement: It has been confirmed with Mr. Jiang Chen that he will officially challenge the Twelfth Apostle's Temple, located deep in the Scandinavian Mountains of Northern Europe, in one week. This challenge will be broadcast live globally, with the live stream officially opening at 7:00 AM on the day of the challenge.]

Within the first minute of its release, the announcement was shared over one million times.

Three minutes after the post was published, Weibo's servers crashed again. Programmers scrambled to increase server capacity, and a cacophony of alarm sounds filled the background, like urgent sirens. The last time the servers crashed like this was when Jiang Chen's livestream of killing the Thirteenth Apostle, Astra, ended.

Ten minutes after its release, the headlines of all major media outlets around the world were updated.

The Xinhua News Agency of China published an article titled "Embarking on a New Journey: Jiang Chen to Challenge the Twelfth Apostle's Hall in a Week, to be Broadcast Live Globally."

The Reuters headline reads: "Humanity's counterattack continues: The boy who killed the thirteenth apostle will charge toward the twelfth temple."

The Associated Press headline was even more direct: "The boy who killed the apostle is going to kill another one."

The BBC produced a special trailer overnight. The three-minute trailer opens with the classic scene of Jiang Chen unleashing a sword domain in the void, with thousands of sword blades grinding down Astra. The narration, in a passionate British accent, says: "In three hundred years of darkness, for the first time, mankind has grasped the sword to strike. In a week, we will witness together whether history will be rewritten."

On China's social media platforms, the frenzy was more intense than ever before.

The Weibo trending topics list once again witnessed an unprecedented "overwhelming" of the entire list. Every single one of the top fifty trending topics was related to Jiang Chen.

#JiangChenChallengesTheTwelfthApostleHall# remains firmly at the top of the list, followed by a gold-plated "Explosive" sign, with the number of views exceeding 5 billion in just one hour.

Following closely behind were hashtags like #WatchJiangChen'sLivestreamInAWeek#, #WhereIsTheTwelfthApostleHall#, #Humanity'sCounterattack Part 2#, #JiangChenThePowerlessGod#, #I'llTakeLeaveToWatchJiangChen'sLivestream#, and even completely unrelated hashtags like #JiangChen'sSchoolUniform# and #JiangChen'sFavoriteRibs# trending on social media.

The comments section was no longer filled with the fear and despair that had gripped them half a month ago when facing the apostles; instead, it was filled with almost boiling excitement and anticipation.

"Holy crap!!! They're really going to book a second one!!! I thought I'd have to wait at least six months, but it's happening in a week???"

"Brother Chen's efficiency is amazing! It's only been a few days since he killed Astra, and he's already preparing to attack the next one?"

"I was worried that the remaining twelve apostles might retaliate, but Brother Chen took the initiative directly? Is this the vision of a Celestial Emperor?"

"I've already asked my boss for leave; I'll be staying home and doing live streams all day starting in a week. My boss asked me what was up, and I said I was watching human history, and he approved it immediately!"

"Our company announced that everyone would have a paid day off on the day of the challenge! The boss said it's a major event for all of humanity; we can skip work, but we can't miss the live stream!"

"I've already upgraded the TV to the biggest one in the house, and the projector is ready too. All I'm waiting for is for Brother Chen to dominate the battlefield in a week!"

"Does anyone know who the Twelfth Apostle is? Is Brother Chen in danger?"

"Danger? Have you forgotten how much Astra boasted last time, only to have it ground to dust by Brother Chen's sword? No matter how powerful the Twelve Apostles are, can they be faster than Brother Chen's sword?"

"Exactly! We were afraid of the Apostles before because we couldn't beat them. Now that we have Brother Chen, the Apostles should be the ones afraid!"

"Three hundred years have passed, and finally it's our turn to chase after the apostles! Tears well up in my eyes, my family!"

Such discussions have spread from the internet to every corner of reality.

As the protagonist of this trending topic, Jiang Chen's life has gained many unimportant viewers.

Wherever he goes, enthusiastic fans will come up to him asking for photos, or reporters will want to interview him.

However, Jiang Chen vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, at Jiangzhou Academy, those who once followed Jiang Chen and called him brother mocked him after he was judged to be powerless. Now, they are being screenshotted and ridiculed for their past actions, such as their mockery in group chats and the things they did. They could have had the same life as Wang Kai, but now, they can only watch from afar, and Jiang Chen won't even give them a glance.

Meanwhile, in the distant reaches of space.

The twelfth apostle, Morgiana, revealed a faint smile. She was petite and usually pale, but now her face was flushed with long-lost excitement.

The apostles possessed extremely formidable intelligence capabilities. The moment this so-called trending topic appeared, they already knew that Jiang Chen would challenge the Twelfth Apostle Hall a week later.

Her long, silvery hair cascaded down her back as she whispered, "That arrogant brat, does he really think that defeating Astra means he can defeat all the Apostles?"

Even though the high-ranking apostles are now extremely wary of Jiang Chen, Morgiana will never repeat the same mistake!

For Jiang Chen, this week was but a fleeting moment, but for others, it was pure torture.

I don't even want to go to work anymore. I just look forward to the holiday a week from now, and the live stream a week from now, a live stream that is destined to be recorded in human history.

Everyone is anticipating that the heroic Jiang Chen will create an unprecedented historical breakthrough!

So, will he make history?
