Chapter: Chapter 560
The torrent of the sea of stars erupted from the depths of space, destroying everything in its path. Powerful world consciences diligently raised shields to resist the impact of the sea of stars tide, but even so, a considerable number of worlds were destroyed by this terrifying natural disaster.
The Traveler stood in the starry expanse, gazing at the surging giant waves rolling towards her. She took a deep breath.
The cause of the sea of stars tide is unknown, its duration is unknown, and it is the most mysterious disaster in this world. No one knows why it appears, nor does anyone know when it will disappear.
In the past, the Traveler had encountered several very close worlds. Under the protection of their world consciences, those worlds had weathered the sea of stars tide several times. The Traveler had exchanged a few words with those world consciences and learned from them that the sea of stars tide was a natural disaster with no discernible pattern.
These world consciences, by cooperating, managed to protect their worlds.
The scale of the sea of stars tide clearly varied in size. Smaller sea of stars tides were not as powerful, and a relatively strong world conscience could block them alone. However, more powerful sea of stars tides were beyond the resistance of a single world.
It was only possible for several world consciences to unite and protect themselves from such a disaster.
The Traveler was young and had only personally experienced the sea of stars tide a few times. The first few times, she was an observer, watching her predecessors sacrifice themselves to protect their worlds. Later, when the world behind her was about to be destroyed by the sea of stars tide, she stepped in to protect the world she favored.
And now, facing this new sea of stars tide, she could not back down.
She had promised to block this sea of stars tide, and she would not break her word.
“Come on, let me see how powerful this so-called natural disaster of yours really is.” The Traveler extended her palm and fiercely grasped in the direction of the surging sea of stars tide.
Transparent crystals began to spread outwards from her as a starting point. In just a few breaths, they formed a streamlined protective shield in the starry sky, shielding the world behind her.
The Traveler was not foolish; she was not so arrogant as to dare to confront a natural disaster like the sea of stars tide head-on. Using such a shield to block the impact of the sea of stars tide was undoubtedly the best solution.
It was also the most common method used by world consciences in this world to resist the sea of stars tide.
The moment the crystalline shield was formed, the unstoppable torrent of stellar energy rushed forward like an avalanche.
Fortunately, the method the Traveler used was well-tested. Facing the first impact, although it trembled slightly, it still steadily withstood the most dangerous first impact.
Looking at the stellar energy surging towards both sides, the Traveler’s expression was a bit grim. This sea of stars tide was much stronger than the one she had confronted before, and it was even starting to exceed her resistance limit.
If she continued to resist head-on, she might be able to hold out for a considerable time and have a high chance of lasting until this tide ended, but she was worried about unexpected events.
For example…
Boom!
The crystalline shield trembled twice, and several cracks instantly appeared and then instantly disappeared. The Traveler keenly captured the source of the vibration: a fragment of a world mixed in the torrent of stellar energy.
It was probably a small world with bad luck. its own strength was not strong, and it was destroyed by the sea of stars tide without any ability to resist.
Its wreckage was carried forward by the torrent of the sea of stars, specifically to strike at the worlds that were still resisting the impact of the sea of stars tide.
Yes, the mere sea of stars tide was not terrifying. What was terrifying were these world remnants mixed within the tide. Being hit by these things was no joke at all.
“Hoo, but it’s only this much. It can’t shake me!”
…
“The sea of stars tide is here.” Even though she was within her world, Leticia could detect the signal of the sea of stars tide’s arrival. Looking at the star-filled space that suddenly appeared in the overwhelmingly dark expanse, she knew that the sea of stars tide had already launched its impact on their world.
“The new world is almost formed. It’s time for us to enter the most crucial step.” Bai Ling was still diligently controlling stellar energy to suppress the restless laws within the new world.
The good news was that under the impact of the sea of stars tide, Bai Ling’s strength had actually increased significantly. She could obtain boundless stellar energy from the surrounding space without expending much effort.
This was much better than what was predicted in the initial plan. Before, she had to carefully manage her stellar energy, but now she didn’t need to think about saving it; she could just use brute force.
Leticia turned to look at Bai Ling and found that the girl beside her was now bathed in a hazy starlight. Her pure white hair also had beautiful patterns resembling the starry sky.
Was this the influence of the sea of stars tide? she thought to herself.
However, this could be considered good news.
After an unknown amount of time, the new world before them finally finished its long fusion stage and became a perfect sphere. Leticia knew that it was time for her to come out.
A large amount of colorful thread, prepared long ago, quickly surged towards the world before them. Although her body was so small in front of the newborn world, the colorful threads she released completely enveloped the entire new world.
Leticia’s body disappeared in a burst of colorful light. To resolve the internal law conflicts of the world as quickly as possible, she had to appear in a form that was most convenient for dealing with these matters.
And that form was, naturally, an intangible spiritual body.
Her thoughts attached to the endless colorful threads, permeating every corner of the world, searching for the conflicting laws and adjusting them into a harmonious state.
She felt that her state was better than ever. The law conflicts that might have troubled her for a while before could now be resolved with a single glance, and each law conflict took her only a few minutes to handle.
The stellar energy within the world, marked as Leticia, guided her path. She first dealt with the law conflicts in the life-gathering areas. After resolving the law conflicts here, those in other places would not have any serious impact.
At most, a mountain might explode, or a spatial rift might appear, but she would find ways to repair them slowly over time.
However, once intelligent life died, she had no way to save them.
At this moment, almost all intelligent beings witnessed a scene as if a god had descended. The starry sky, which had been absent for several days, once again occupied the sky, and from above the sky, countless colorful threads hung down, nearly filling the entire world, only to mysteriously disappear soon after.
Anxious emotions spread among the people. Fortunately, before they could take any drastic actions, an envoy from the higher levels informed them that this was a normal phenomenon, that a deity was curing the world’s illness.
Yes, only a deity could do all this, people accepted this explanation, and they could not find any other reasonable explanation.
They couldn’t possibly tell a blatant lie and say that this was actually a normal natural phenomenon, could they?
And they didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the space they lived in had become much, much larger, appearing more spacious compared to before.
This feeling was particularly evident in those with strong power. The gods watching the live broadcast from the Divine Seat Base felt the intuitive changes brought about by the world’s expansion.
After four worlds were fused together, the limit of power they could withstand was much greater than that of a single world. Some of them even experienced an increase in strength due to this change.
It was as if some sort of restriction had been broken.
“The fusion is complete.” Silver murmured softly, looking at the colorful threads hanging down from the sky, “How much time has passed?”
“Ha… I don’t know either. My sense of time completely failed during the fusion. If I had to estimate, it’s probably a few days?” Yin Feinuo stood beside Yin, her hands behind her back, gazing at the threads with a complex glint in her eyes, “Was it successful?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be successful. This is the final step. Judging by the momentum, I think Leticia can complete this mission perfectly.” Yin pondered and replied, “I told you they would definitely succeed, right?”
But just as she finished speaking, the fine threads in the sky suddenly paused, then rapidly retracted into the sky, as if something urgent had happened.
The gods looked at each other, seeing the same fear in each other’s eyes. Had something unexpected happened?
Wasn’t the progress just earlier very pleasing?
What exactly happened?
What happened? Of course, something unexpected happened.
Or rather, there was a problem on the Traveler’s side.
The impact force of this sea of stars tide was indeed too powerful. Even after the Traveler had persisted for so long, the protection she could provide for this world was nearing its limit.
Just now, a fragment of a world had pierced the Traveler’s shield and was heading directly towards the world behind her. The Traveler, who was fully resisting the sea of stars tide, was powerless to stop that fragment and could only inform Leticia of the current situation through telepathy.
This world fragment was not large in size, and Leticia could handle it herself, but this would inevitably slow down the progress of the world fusion.
However, there was no other choice. Leticia had to pull her hand away to stop that world fragment.
But before she could leave, an incredibly bright beam of light had already struck the rapidly approaching world fragment, completely shattering it.
“You all focus on what you need to do. I’ll handle the world fragments.” Bai Xing appeared amidst a shower of starlight, holding a dazzling and magnificent staff of starlight.
Just as the sea of stars tide could enhance Bai Ling’s power, it could also grant Bai Xing greater strength than usual.
And in this situation where stellar energy was almost inexhaustible, her combat power would not be weak.
Although she was not as powerful as existences like Leticia and the Traveler, she was still more than capable of dealing with world fragments being carried and rushed by the sea of stars tide.
Leticia estimated Bai Xing’s current strength. If the incoming world fragments did not exceed the previous one, then Bai Xing alone could indeed block them all.
“Bai Ling, pay some attention to your mother. I’ll fix the law conflicts within the world as quickly as possible!”
Having made her decision immediately, Leticia planned to focus her energy on resolving the internal problems of the world first. This way, she could fully unleash her combat power later.
The Traveler was already finding it difficult to deal with this sea of stars tide alone. If Leticia did not quickly free herself to help the Traveler resist it, the world, which had just seen a glimmer of hope, would truly be destroyed by the sea of stars tide.
The most important thing now was to stabilize the fused world and then help the Traveler resist the sea of stars tide.
With this goal set, Leticia immediately poured all her energy back into correcting the laws.
As for the matter of world fragments, she chose to trust Bai Xing and Bai Ling.
She would take a gamble. She believed in Bai Xing, that woman. She was definitely willing to risk her life to protect this world.
Furthermore, with the Traveler intercepting the vast majority of the world fragments, the pressure on Bai Xing might not be so great.
When the Traveler discovered that Bai Xing had stepped forward to take on the task of processing world fragments, she also slightly reduced the size of her protective shield. This would, although there was a very small chance of some world fragments rushing towards the world, reduce her energy consumption.
The majority of her strength had to be used to deal with the sea of stars tide and larger world fragments within it. As for the smaller world fragments, she would leave them to Bai Xing and the others to handle.
After the Traveler reduced the size of the protective shield, the number of smaller world fragments that slipped through the edges increased. However, under Bai Xing’s precise sniping, these fragments did not even get close to the world that was fusing.
Beautiful yet extremely dangerous beams of starlight crushed these worlds destroyed by the torrent of the sea of stars, making them disappear completely from this world.
The residual energy from their destruction might be collected by Leticia later as nourishment for the new world.
It was considered making the best use of everything.
Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. The internal law conflicts of the world were being quickly quelled by Leticia, Bai Ling had not shown any signs of being unable to cope so far, the Traveler’s protective shield could still resist the impact of the sea of stars tide, and the smaller fragments leaking from the edges of the shield were being cleaned up by Bai Xing.
As long as they held on for a little longer, Leticia would be able to complete her task and free herself to help the Traveler, and thus, the world would be perfectly saved.
However… it seemed that the gods who controlled fate did not wish to see such smooth progress.
