Chapter: Chapter 559
The starry sky that had enveloped the sky for a month disappeared, and the sun reappeared in the world after a long absence.
Looking at the cloudless blue sky and the golden sphere hanging in the center of the sky, almost everyone felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.
The past month had been too shocking for them. First, the sun mysteriously disappeared, and the night sky occupied the sky forever. Then, there was an impromptu mobilization, asking them to build something and erect it on the ground, claiming that this would eliminate the night sky.
Now that the night sky had indeed disappeared, would their lives also return to normal?
Perhaps.
However, the gods who understood the inside story knew that the disappearance of the night sky was just the beginning, and the world’s trials had just begun.
In a large conference room at the God Seat base, most of the gods who could move were gathered there, waiting for the moment of destiny’s judgment to arrive.
Yin was undoubtedly sitting at the front. Among all those present, only she had a deep understanding of space and could sense the world’s current situation without the aid of instruments.
“It’s starting! The distance between worlds is getting closer!” Yin opened her eyes and said softly.
Although her voice was low, it had a strong penetrating power, and almost all the gods present heard her words.
“The speed of approach is not fast. It seems Rety and the others plan to take their time.”
If the worlds were left to their own devices, perhaps these four worlds would have already collided.
But Yin now sensed that the speed at which the worlds were approaching each other was so slow, as if someone was pulling them, preventing them from getting closer.
Obviously, this must be Retycia and Bai Ling’s doing. They probably intended to be more careful and proceed step by step.
This was a very wise choice, as it concerned the survival of the world, and haste was not allowed.
If they failed due to impatience, it would be truly over.
“Heh, I didn’t feel this way before, but now that it’s really time, I’m a bit panicked,” a god from the God Seat muttered softly.
“We’ll die together, so relax. At least there are many gods dying with you to keep you company.”
“That’s hardly any comfort, is it?” Some pessimistic gods retorted, punching the god next to them.
The punched god laughed twice. After losing their divine powers, the relationship between the gods had inexplicably drawn them closer. Some gods even became quite familiar and could joke with each other within a few days.
Perhaps this was the mutual attraction of those who had similar experiences.
There were very few beings like them in this world. Those in this conference room were all of them.
“Yin, you don’t seem panicked at all,” Infernor, sitting next to Yin, tilted her head and looked at Yin.
“Look, Yuan isn’t panicked either. She’s even in the mood to eat,” Yin rolled her eyes. If there was any god present who was the most carefree and unconcerned, it would naturally be our little phoenix, Miss Yuan.
This silly girl didn’t even have a real sense of what was happening. When she handed over her divine power earlier, she looked confused and seemed to not understand anything.
She probably only knew that her sister Rety needed her divine power to help, and then she handed it over.
If Yin and Infernor hadn’t brought her here, Yuan would probably still be playing with Bai Ya and the others.
However, it was better for the gods to wait here. This way… it would be more ceremonial.
“Believe in them. Besides, you are Rety’s ancestor. You should be the one who believes in them the most!”
“Please don’t mention that, thank you. That title makes me feel so old,” Infernor covered her face, saying with a mix of tears and laughter. “Anyway, they’re not here now, so it’s not a big problem if I act panicked, right?”
Under normal circumstances, Infernor was quite calm and reliable, but in this situation, well, it was still a bit beyond her tolerance.
It was normal to be panicked.
The gods present were actually all quite panicked, they just didn’t show it obviously.
“Panicking is useless. Get ready to accept the impact, the worlds are about to merge!” Yin grabbed the armrest of her chair and looked up at the ceiling. “By the way, won’t this thing collapse?”
“Probably not?” Infernor also imitated Yin’s action, grabbing the armrest and answering softly.
“Oh…”
Before Yin could finish her sentence, the vibration of the earth interrupted her.
…
At the same time, in Central City.
Qila and Xiaoya were sitting in a flower bed in the residential area, basking in the sun and eating snacks.
Yes, they were having a picnic.
“Qila, aren’t you worried about your sister and the others?” However, Xiaoya didn’t seem to have much appetite. She looked up at the sky, her face full of worry.
Qila, on the other hand, was more optimistic. She took a bite of the small cake in her hand. When she heard Xiaoya’s words, she showed a look of denial. “I’m not worried.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Because worrying is useless,” Qila shrugged. At this point, it didn’t matter whether she worried or not. If they failed, everyone would disappear. If they succeeded, everyone would live. Worrying was completely unnecessary. “Might as well do something happy during this last moment.”
“So Qila’s happy thing is eating cake?” Xiaoya asked in confusion.
“It’s eating cake with you, Xiaoya,” Qila picked up a piece of cake and put it directly into Xiaoya’s slightly opened mouth. “I made it myself. It should taste okay, right?”
“Hmm? It seems a little bland?” Xiaoya swallowed the cake with a blush and gave her evaluation softly.
Qila nodded with a calm expression. “Then I’ll add more sugar next time… if there is a next time.”
“Don’t say such discouraging things at this time! There will definitely be a next time!” Xiaoya immediately retorted.
Yes, her sister and the others would definitely succeed, and she and Qila would definitely be able to eat even sweeter cakes next time.
“Hey, Qila…”
“Shh… don’t speak yet,” Qila put her index finger to Xiaoya’s mouth. “Some things are not suitable to be said now.”
“Eh?”
“We’ll talk about those things when our sisters come back. After all, I’m a well-behaved younger sister,” Qila hummed twice. She and Xiaoya both understood what Xiaoya wanted to say, but she didn’t want to hear it at this time.
It felt like a deathbed farewell. Such words should be saved for when the new world appears!
“I heard that Sister and the others plan to travel around the world later. Xiaoya, what are your plans? Do you want to come to the Demon Realm for a while?”
“Go to, SCHOOL!”
“Pfft, hahaha, Xiaoya seems to have a lot of grievances.” Hearing Xiaoya’s teeth-gritting voice, Qila let out a chuckle. The emotions contained within were easily discernible.
“Qila, come with me to school!” Xiaoya pulled Qila’s clothes, her eyes filled with pleading.
Unfortunately, Qila couldn’t agree to her this time.
“It’s not possible. I have too many things to do from now on, so I can’t just come to play with you casually,” Qila looked up at the sky. Thinking about how many troublesome things she would have to deal with after the world merged made her head ache. “Suddenly I feel like it might be better if the world just ended like this.”
“Don’t say things like that at this time!”
“Haha, just kidding… Hmm?” Feeling the ground beneath her begin to vibrate slightly, Qila said softly, “It’s started, Sister.”
This kind of vibration was definitely a precursor to the world starting to merge.
…
Not only in the human world, but also among the Beastmen, Elves, and Demons, those who knew the inside story had left their indoor spaces and stood outdoors, waiting for the final moment to arrive. They looked up at the sky, as if they could see another world rapidly approaching them.
The areas originally filled with spatial rifts were the first to show anomalies. Various scattered spatial passages rapidly expanded under an invisible force, connecting with each other to form a black great wall of immeasurable length.
This was the sign of the world’s merging. All intelligent life in the vicinity had followed Retycia’s instructions and evacuated, so this step would not cause much destruction.
Outside the world, Retycia stood above the void, scattering countless colored threads down to the world below, focusing all her strength on any small step in the world’s merging process.
This step was not difficult. With the fundamental laws of the worlds already adjusted to be consistent, the four worlds could easily merge together. What Retycia needed to pay attention to now was to prevent the four worlds from overlapping each other.
If a demon realm was superimposed on human territory, it would be a catastrophe of extinction for both races.
Fortunately, the plan provided by the Traveler already offered a solution. The Demon Realm had a larger ocean area, so the Demon Realm would become a large continent overseas. This would minimize the probability of problems.
The Elven great forest and the Beastmen great grasslands were slightly more difficult to handle and needed to be placed on land. Fortunately, when the worlds merged, they were not simply stacked layer by layer. Retycia could expand the continental area through splicing.
On the new continent, Humans, Elves, and Beastmen each obtained a piece of land, while the Demon Realm was isolated overseas. This solution should be considered acceptable.
Sensing the initial placement points laid out in the four worlds, Retycia made adjustments one by one, striving to place each world where she wanted it to be.
The feeling was completely different from merging shattered worlds. Merging complete worlds required considering too many things. Even Retycia felt a moment of powerlessness.
There was almost nothing in the shattered worlds, so they could be put together casually. But if these four complete worlds were casually merged, it would truly be over.
Bai Ling stood aside. Behind her was an ocean composed of stellar energy. At this stage, she could not help Retycia. Her task was to control the stellar energy to suppress and mitigate the damage caused by the conflict of laws after the world successfully merged, gaining Retycia enough time for adjustments.
This hurdle needed to be overcome by Retycia alone.
The four large spheres in front of them appeared to have merged halfway. It was at this moment that Retycia suddenly widened her eyes and shouted to Bai Ling, “The conflict of laws has begun, help me suppress it. I’ll let them merge first!”
It was much faster than expected. Bai Ling’s pupils contracted, and she immediately controlled the stellar energy and threw it towards the merging worlds in front of her.
The vast river of energy composed of stellar energy surged towards the merging worlds. Under Bai Ling’s control and Retycia’s permission, it smoothly entered the interior of the worlds, found the places where the laws were conflicting, and temporarily suppressed them.
Retycia also accelerated her actions. The initial placement selection was completed, and the next step was to truly merge the four worlds!
She reached out and clenched the worlds in front of her.
The previously slow progress of world merging immediately accelerated. The four worlds that had moved slower than a crawling turtle for half a day seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, rapidly starting the final merging process.
A nascent colorful sphere gradually revealed itself as the four spheres merged with each other. Retycia knew that this was the future new world, if it could survive the upcoming crisis.
The four worlds had not yet completely merged into one. This process would take at least another half a day for the new world to stabilize, and during this period, Retycia could only do nothing.
Any action at this moment could lead to unexpected accidents in the emergence of the new world. As for the internal conflicts of laws, it could only rely on Bai Ling to suppress them.
Her heart was anxious, eager to resolve the conflicts of laws, but she couldn’t be anxious. She had to wait for the new world to stabilize before resolving those issues. Retycia dared not be distracted, for fear that any accident would lead to the abandonment of all previous efforts.
Fortunately, perhaps the preparations were sufficient. The problems encountered during the world merging process were all within her ability to solve.
Just as she was relieved and relaxed a little, a terrifying aura emanating from the depths of space, which made people tremble involuntarily, made her heart tighten again.
This feeling, it was correct.
The Star Tide was coming. Only this kind of natural disaster could make her feel so terrified.
“Rety…” Bai Ling also turned to look at Retycia. As the controller of stellar energy, she could sense the Star Tide even more than Retycia.
That terrifying energy torrent had completely surpassed her comprehension.
“Relax, just trust that one. If she can’t hold on, then we probably won’t feel any pain in our deaths,” Retycia said with a wry smile. “Our goal is to successfully merge the worlds. We don’t need to worry about other things for now.”
