Chapter 409: Chapter 292: Fusion, the Change of Heaven and Earth! (4K)
The fusion of worlds was like a majestic tsunami, and people were mere droplets, only able to watch helplessly as the great waves surged forth, swallowing and enveloping them.
This, was the trend of the times.
In front of such a trend, even the Lord of Han Yue City, or someone of higher status, was powerless to stop it. Not to mention someone like him, a small fry.
With that thought in mind, Mu Yuan stepped through the Secret Realm's Gate and arrived at Elf's Courtyard.
There, he saw the equally distressed Jiang Luoxing, Liu Miumiu, and others.
"It's like the end of the world."
"Yes, the reflection of Eternal World has already covered the entire Lanxing, as if the sky itself is about to collapse."
"It's not just the sky, the ground is cracking open, too. Even if we don't mention foreign countries and only talk about our own, it is now fragmented, with many areas blocked by other dimensions."
Had they ever seen such apocalyptic scenes before?
If the Alliance hadn't assured that what was coming was a world fusion rather than destruction, panic would have already spread. Even so, anxiety, fear, and hysteria were still violently spreading everywhere.
Ordinary people were panicking, and some players were at a loss as well.
"In troubled times strict laws are needed. For a short while, order in various places within the country can still be maintained, but as time goes on... When the two worlds fuse, we don't need to worry too much. Besides, worrying is useless, we're just little shrimps. We might as well lie flat and wait for the world to blend."
Liu Miumiu expressed that when the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up, there's no need to panic, and panicking is useless. It's better to lie down flat like her.
Mu Yuan was somewhat impressed by her mentality.
If he only had strength similar to Liu Miumiu's, he certainly wouldn't be able to stay so calm at this moment.
Even though he could now take on various fourth-order bosses, contributing some auxiliary value in the legendary battles, he still wasn't as calm inside as he appeared on the surface.
Lord Canglang died due to an accident.
And him? He was only slightly stronger than Lord Canglang, at best.
In Eternal World, accidents were too numerous, and lords never knew whether treasures or accidents would come first. And these days, with the tensions high, accidents were far more likely to happen than before.
"My sister is right, we really don't need to worry. The so-called disaster is just superficial, we are in the night before dawn. And dawn will soon arrive."
A cool voice drifted over, and the entire Secret Realm seemed to cool down a bit.
The Lord of Han Yue City, Liu Xiyue, stepped forward.
Many players present suddenly became restrained when they saw her. There was not a great age difference between them, they were all young, but their status and identity were not on the same level. Even if the Lord of Han Yue City had no airs about her, it did not stop them from being apprehensive.
When faced with a big shot, who wouldn't feel cowed?
However, compared to being apprehensive, the prodigies present were more curious about the identity of the strong warrior following behind the Lord of Han Yue City—her face bore some resemblance to the Lord of Han Yue City at first glance, but was colder and more ethereal, as if untouched by worldly dust. Behind her hung a sword, with hair silvery and lustrous as the moon.
Seeing her was like seeing a bright moon hanging high.
She's a super strong warrior, yo!
Compared to the 'reserved' Lord of Han Yue City, this silver-haired woman had even more of a lofty and aloof air of a strong warrior. Some of the second-generation lords who knew about Han Yue City immediately guessed that this was the core strong warrior under the Lord of Han Yue City—the Moon Sword Immortal.
"It's the Moon Sword Immortal we saw last time."
Mu Yuan took a couple of looks and was certain.
There was more than one Moon Sword Immortal in the household of the Han Yue City Lord, and the Moon Sword Immortals probably looked quite similar, but he, Mr. Mu, would not mistake them. He had memorized this aura.
He even simulated, if he encountered an enemy at the level of the Moon Sword Immortal, how would he fight?
No matter how he simulated, there was no way to fight.
However, if the enemy was as naive as this Moon Sword Immortal appeared to be, there might be a chance to escape. Speaking of which, based solely on appearances, one would never guess the Moon Sword Immortal to be so naïve.
The Lord of Han Yue City continued, "Right now, Lanxing is filled with disasters, and Eternal World is not peaceful either, due to the overlay of two worlds, making space unstable with holes everywhere. On the side of Lanxing, the Fleeing Monsters are already beyond defense.
"Once the worlds finish fusing, though we will lose Lanxing, our homeland, and though we will no longer be able to use Lanxing for rotation and communication, but..."
All these losses were significant to players.
But since the trend was irreversible, then, looking at it from another angle...
"Once Lanxing fuses, we in Tai Xuan will no longer need to guard fiercely against all sorts of Fleeing Monsters, nor will we need to be stationed at various border areas. At that time, the Alliance will be able to free up more forces to engage in major developments internally and major expansions externally."
You have to know that the area of Xuan Country alone restricted nearly half of the Alliance's resources.
With those forces freed up, whether it's pioneering the wilderness, suppressing Monster power, or deterring other countries, they could achieve a lot.
It was as if the Tai Xuan Alliance's hands, which had been tightly bound, were finally loosened.
Of course, losing Lanxing, the main base, would be a loss of a major convenience for the majority of players. The cohesion between the people of Xuan Country might also diminish over time, just like with Red Star, Shen Mu, and other countries.
These issues, after pondering for a moment, Liu Xiyue decided to give up thinking about them—let the old men worry about it.
"The Astronomical Society has already announced that the fusion is expected to complete in twenty hours."
It's down to the hour now?
Mu Yuan logged into the Lanxing forum in disguise and checked—The Astronomical Society had not released any new announcements.
What's going on here?
