Chapter 254 -254: Life after the Catastrophe
The people in the cabin had all submerged into their own sorrowful thoughts when they suddenly caught sight of Zhong Niangyao’s actions, leaving them somewhat perplexed.
At this time, Zhong Niangyao had already slipped into a state of self-forgetfulness.
As the magic neared completion, Zhong Niangyao began to radiate a golden light from her being, looking absolutely breathtaking and pure. At this moment, she appeared like an angel bathed in holy light.
Upon witnessing such a scene, everyone in the cabin was dumbstruck. They even somewhat forgot to think, simply staring blankly at Zhong Niangyao.
Lu Yichen, on the other hand, was in a terrible state of mind, his complexion grave and a cold aura emanating from him. The contrast between him and Zhong Niangyao was stark, resembling an envoy from hell who had come to claim lives.
As the golden light spread from Zhong Niangyao to cover the entire airplane, the previously wobbling aircraft began to stabilize.
The faces of the people on board shifted from distress and despair to hope as they looked towards Zhong Niangyao, their gazes akin to seeing a savior.
Even some began to kneel on the ground, worshipping Zhong Niangyao.
Zhong Niangyao was oblivious to everything happening around her, her focus now completely on performing the Heavenly Reversal Technique. Once initiated, the magic could not be halted. She was aware that it might cost her life.
But faced with the lives of so many, she felt compelled to make that choice. She wasn’t noble; she simply couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Soon, the airplane, supported by an unknown force, found its way back to proper course and swiftly landed at the airport in the Imperial Capital.
At the instant the plane touched down, all aboard erupted in cheers. They felt as though reborn, never imagining they would survive. Just moments before, the plane was about to crash, yet now it was safely on the ground.
Many pinched or slapped themselves hard, using pain to confirm they were still alive.
“Ah! We’re still alive, we really are still alive.”
“Oh, thank goodness, thank the heavens I can still see my family.”
Cheers rose intermittently within the cabin, as those who had skirted death began to cry tears of joy.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, however, remained distinctly aloof from the crowd.
Lu Yichen’s complexion couldn’t be simply described as glum; he briskly stepped forward and supported a frail-looking Zhong Niangyao, who seemed on the verge of collapse.
He looked at Zhong Niangyao with eyes full of pity and fear, commiserating with her current weakness. At the same time, he feared in his heart that this incident might lead to unpredictable consequences. He felt as if Zhong Niangyao could leave him at any moment, a notion spreading panic deep within him.
Supported by Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao was barely able to keep herself upright. She looked towards the crowd as if wanting to say something. But her voice was weak, markedly contrasting with the jubilation around her.
“Shut up, all of you!”
Lu Yichen’s voice wasn’t loud, but it instantly hushed the entire cabin.
When they saw Lu Yichen’s grim face and the palpable tension around him, their initial excitement was doused like cold water, quickly chilling their spirits.
They felt as if facing death once again, if not something more terrifying. Despite Lu Yichen being only one man, the chill emanating from him made breathing difficult. Remembering how he had opened fire without hesitation intensified their fear.
However, when they looked towards Zhong Niangyao, they felt differently. They weren’t fools; they knew the plane couldn’t have just fixed itself and safely landed at the Imperial Capital airport.
They had seen Zhong Niangyao’s actions, and even if they didn’t know what exactly she had done, they were sure that they owed their lives to her. In other words, Zhong Niangyao had saved them.
Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards her.
This contradiction made the crowd’s feelings towards Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao particularly complex.

The cabin fell silent, so much so that the drop of a pin could be heard, and despite her soft voice, Zhong Niangyao’s words were clearly audible.
“All of you were supposed to report to Yama Hall today. Even though a reversal has occurred, and you have all survived, don’t think you can be complacent from now on. From today forward, you had better do good deeds, so that you might have a chance to die a natural death.”
“If you entertain any evil thoughts or commit misdeeds in the future, then the retribution from today will double. You will die a fate worse than today’s near disaster.”
Pausing briefly, Zhong Niangyao looked around before continuing, “Don’t think you’re the only ones privy to your actions. Man acts, Heavenly Dao watches. Whatever you do, the Heavenly Dao knows it all.”
“Your borrowed lives have already been listed by the Heavenly Dao, which watches over your deeds to judge whether you’re still worthy of living.”
Her words were soft but resolute.
After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s speech, everyone in the cabin fell into silence.
Zhong Niangyao couldn’t concern herself with what others thought at that moment; she only felt one thing—exhaustion.
She felt utterly drained of all strength, even the recent reminder seemed uttered with her last breath.
She turned her head towards Lu Yichen, who looked worried, attempting to muster a smile to reassure him not to fret.
But suddenly, darkness overcame her vision, and she lost all consciousness.
“Yaoyao!”
Seeing Zhong Niangyao collapse, Lu Yichen’s voice brimmed with agony as he caught her and immediately headed towards the cabin door.
