Chapter 275: Another Advancement, the Greedy World Consciousness

The World Consciousness is currently absorbing the Small World with all its might, and the speed of absorption is getting faster and faster.

Everyone in the Main World feels the changes in the world, but no one knows what is happening.

People can feel the world trembling, as if some enormous power is closing in.

This change is happening too fast; even ordinary people can feel it.

Moreover, it feels somewhat oppressive; apart from this feeling of oppression, nothing else has actually occurred.

At this tense moment, the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires have taken action, urgently dispatching personnel to soothe the emotions of the populace.

However, despite people discussing it in hushed tones, no one knows what is truly happening.

That feeling of oppression makes people feel heavy, as if they are about to face an unknown disaster.

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others have also felt it; the group even exchanged words, wanting to know what the situation is.

But this is the first time for such a thing, and none of them know what is happening.

The five of them began trying to contact the gods behind them, but after trying many times, they simply cannot make contact now.

In the end, they could only give up in frustration; now, like everyone else, they are feeling oppressed and panicked.

Even though they are already god-level powerhouses, in the face of such a grand trend of heaven and earth, they still appear very weak and helpless.

Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, Bibi Dong, and several other god-level powerhouses have also gathered together, wanting to know the cause.

Everyone is seeing this situation for the first time and has no clue at all.

"Great Elder, do you think there is a possibility that this situation was caused by Jerry?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo had long since tried to contact Jerry, but unfortunately, he could not reach him; every time he cannot make contact, it is because Jerry is stirring up trouble (it has happened several times, and none of them were good things).

Now that he cannot contact Jerry, Chrysanthemum Douluo feels once again that it was caused by Jerry.

Previously, he caused droughts and earthquakes; now that another event akin to a natural disaster has arrived, Chrysanthemum Douluo feels it is very likely Jerry.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's words immediately caused the group currently in discussion to stop, and they all began to ponder.

A moment later.

"Now that you mention it, I think it really could be Jerry."

The Great Elder was the first to speak, saying that besides Jerry, who else could cause such a huge commotion?

Once Chrysanthemum Douluo said it, and the Great Elder followed up, the others instantly felt it was indeed possible.

"Whether it is him or not, let's wait until Jerry returns; for now, it's just a bit oppressive, and nothing else has happened, so let's leave it at that!"

The group of people here truly could not reach a conclusion through discussion, so they could only wait for Jerry to return.

Jerry and the other two are currently watching the World Consciousness absorb the Origin of the Small World; as the Origin of one Small World is absorbed, the entire Small World also merges into the Main World.

This is a total absorption.

Originally, Jerry thought the World Consciousness was absorbing the Origin of the Small World, and after the absorption was complete, the energy turbulence within the Small World's space should also be absorbed by the Main World, which would leave him with an empty space.

The space would remain, the energy turbulence would disappear, and at worst, he would just spend a little more effort to rebuild a galaxy.

But now, the Main World has swallowed the entire space of the Small World.

Except for the Pillar Supporting the Sky that has not yet been retrieved, which is Floating in a space where nothing exists, there is nothing else left; it is as if a Small World had never appeared here.

After one Small World is absorbed, the World Consciousness begins to lead the absorption of the second Small World.

As one Small World after another is absorbed, the changes in the Main World become greater, and the sense of oppression becomes more intense.

Jerry will not pay any attention to the sense of oppression now; this sense of oppression is only temporary, and it should stop once the Small Worlds are finished being absorbed.

Ten Small Worlds took a full year to be absorbed.

This year was also recorded in the history books.

After absorbing the ten Small Worlds, the World Consciousness came directly before Jerry.

"Jerry, although this Small World of yours is not a complete world, its Origin is not small; I feel the timing for another World Advancement."

The World Consciousness said happily to Jerry; for the World Consciousness, nothing makes her feel happier than an advancement.

Another advancement.

How many years has it been since the last advancement?

And now it is going to advance again; it seems the Origin of these ten incomplete Small Worlds is very dense.

"Then, shall we start the advancement now?"

Jerry asked tentatively, as he also wanted to know when the Main World could advance.

If the Main World advances again, not to mention anything else, just looking at Cultivation, the upper limit will also be raised; wouldn't humans or Soul Beasts be able to cultivate to higher realms?

At the thought of this, Jerry is eager for the Main World to advance right now!

However, the World Consciousness spoke up at this moment.

"Do you remember when the world last advanced, Meteorites from outside the sky fell, and many places were riddled with holes?"

"I remember, what about it?"

Jerry was a bit puzzled; isn't it just a meteor shower?

He is someone who has already experienced it once.

He won't be afraid now.

"But there is a problem now; after the world advances, the world will grow larger, and when it grows larger, it will absorb matter from the nearby universe to replenish itself."

"It hasn't even been a few years since the last world advancement, and now it is going to advance again. There aren't enough Meteorites near the planet."

"If there aren't enough Meteorites, it is very likely the advancement will fail."

"If the advancement fails, the world's Origin will be damaged, and if we want to advance again next time, it will probably take a million years; absorbing the Origin of other worlds again can speed up this time."

The World Consciousness is speaking very seriously now; it also did not expect that absorbing the ten incomplete world Origins that Jerry knew about would bring the Main World to the edge of advancement again.

It originally thought that absorbing these incomplete world Origins would at most shorten the time for the Main World's advancement; it did not expect that there would be so much Origin that it could directly allow the Main World to advance again.

Every time the world advances, it takes hundreds of thousands or millions of years of preparation before it can advance; now, not much time has passed since the last advancement, and it is already facing a second advancement.

The universe where the world is located has not yet recovered, and the World Consciousness can already imagine that it will definitely fail its advancement this time.

In the million years that followed, it slowly recovered its Origin.

Jerry, while in the Small World, comprehended the Space Rule to 100% and synchronized it directly to the Main World.

This allowed the space of the Main World to be strengthened; now, wanting to open up a Small World space is simply impossible, as the spatial barriers are too stable.

Even with Jerry's 100% comprehension of the Space Rule, it is very difficult to break through the spatial barriers in the Main World.

Therefore, after the world advancement fails, it is estimated that there will be no Small Worlds left for it to absorb.

Thinking of this, the World Consciousness felt a bit greedy; it should have absorbed them slowly, giving the Main World some time.

But facing the World Origin, the World Consciousness truly could not resist; it was too tempting, and if it didn't absorb it and let the World Origin dissipate, it would be a waste.

Jerry does not understand the World Origin, and the World Consciousness could not withstand the temptation; now, the Main World is about to advance again.

Jerry's Small World, however, has always been undergoing Time Acceleration.

From the perspective of the Main World, not much time has passed, but in reality, the Small World has already existed for who knows how many years—at least a million years.

If the Small World had an Isolation Belt, it would likely have evolved successfully as well.

Once evolved successfully, wouldn't the Small World be at a similar level to the Main World?

But there is no time to call the World Consciousness greedy now; the current priority is to find a way to make the world advancement succeed, and other matters can be discussed later.

Isn't it just Meteorites?

There are too few nearby; we can run further away to find them.

However, Jerry asked the World Consciousness to suppress things as much as possible while waiting for them to return.

After giving instructions, Jerry left the Pillar Supporting the Sky at Wuhun City and took all his other clones to the universe to collect Meteorites.

The Fairy Queen also helped using the same method.

The Silver Dragon King was still lacking; she couldn't help with finding Meteorites, so she stayed here to help the World Consciousness suppress the advancement, trying to buy as much time as possible for Jerry and the other.

Previously, it felt like there were many stones drifting in the universe, floating around everywhere, which was annoying; now that they are needed, it feels like the stones have all become scarce.

Jerry has now searched beyond the nine major planets; the nearest places had been searched once before, so now he can only search further away.

Not knowing how far he had flown in the universe, Jerry finally found a Meteorite belt.

There are so many stones.

To others, this place is considered very dangerous, but to Jerry, these Meteorites are the best gifts.

Since they are already in front of him, there is no reason not to collect them.

He directly released all his clones and let them start collecting stones, with one thousand Soul Guidance Rings per person; act quickly.

In two days' time, all the Soul Guidance Rings were filled with Meteorites; seeing that there were still many Meteorites outside, they could only come back next time.

In the Douluo Star System, there are nine major planets; Jerry did not return directly to Douluo Star, but to the outermost planet.

Arriving at this planet, it was desolate, with severe desertification.

However, Jerry had no time to admire the desert scenery at this moment; instead, he found a stable spot, placed a Barrier, and then placed a Teleportation Array inside the Barrier, leaving one clone behind as a Pillar Supporting the Sky to convert the energy needed for this Barrier.

After setting it up, Jerry stepped onto the Teleportation Array, a flash of white light appeared, and Jerry appeared in the Small Courtyard on the Moon.

Then he flew to the previous location of the Small World; the World Consciousness was still here, not daring to move for fear of being unable to suppress it.

"World Consciousness, I am back; the Fairy Queen should be here soon too. The Meteorites have been found, but what should we do now?"

Although Jerry found the Meteorites, the specifics of what to do still depended on what the World Consciousness said.

"After the last advancement, I gained memories regarding advancement. In the future, there is no need to let all Meteorites be attracted by the world. If time is not short, slowly release the Meteorites. Isn't the Main World lacking time now? Let's release them actively!"

The World Consciousness could no longer care about so much; if time were abundant, she would arrange for a Meteorite to land every few months so that no one would notice.

Wait until enough Meteorites have fallen, then advance.

Time waits for no one.

The World Consciousness cannot move, so Jerry has to do it for her.

Actually, it doesn't have to be dropped from the universe; as long as someone brings them in directly, it will work.

Bringing them in is no problem, but where to put them?

When the Meteorites fell from the sky before, they basically landed in every part of the planet; does he have to put some in every place?

This project is too huge!

Even with Jerry's Teleportation, it would take a long time.

Suddenly, the World Consciousness contacted him and told Jerry to find a place on land and put them all on the land.

It doesn't matter if they are piled high; when the world advances, it will shift some of the higher areas and use this shifted soil and stone to expand the planet's surface area.

With the World Consciousness saying this, it became much easier to handle.

The Extreme South is also covered in ice and snow, but the Extreme South has no living creatures because this is a Polar Day region, so creatures do not like to come here.

This place is very empty and silent; it is a suitable location.

Subsequently, Jerry summoned his clones and began to release the stones from the storage rings.

Layer upon layer, they soon formed a huge mountain.

At this time, the Fairy Queen also arrived and similarly released many stones and soil, but not as many as Jerry had found.

"It is still not enough; I need you to make a few more trips."

After the World Consciousness sensed it, it directly transmitted its voice to Jerry.

So much is still not enough? How big will it become after this world advancement?

If he had known, he would have set up the Teleportation Array on a larger Meteorite in the Meteorite belt directly.

Taking the Fairy Queen with him, they arrived at the Meteorite belt, where the Meteorites were numerous and concentrated.

After running back and forth more than thirty times, the World Consciousness finally said it was enough.

Looking at the stones and soil piled very, very high in front of him, from a distance, it really looked like a great mountain.

While collecting the Meteorite belt, one of Jerry's clones bumped into a transparent object; Jerry stroked this transparent thing, it had a tactile sensation, was invisible, and was somewhat like a Barrier.

It wouldn't really be like what Jerry had thought before, would it!

There is no time to study it now; everything will be investigated after the World Advancement.

During this period, he went to Wuhun City and had the Spirit Hall immediately notify everyone to enter places of emergency shelter.

Everything was ready, and Jerry contacted the World Consciousness directly, letting her know she could release the suppression.

Hearing Jerry say she could release it, the World Consciousness finally heaved a sigh of relief; she had been gritting her teeth and holding on to suppress the World Advancement, and if Jerry and the others hadn't finished collecting everything yet, the World Consciousness truly wouldn't have been able to hold back anymore.

Once the suppression was released, an astonishing aura directly covered the entire Douluo Planet.

Previously, everyone only felt oppressed, but now it had directly turned into suppression.

Is it the end of the world?

Everyone fell into a state of panic.

Oh no, he forgot to tell the Great Elder; this time it was a World Advancement, and since it wasn't notified down the line, everyone was panicking now.

What should he do?

Forget it, he would notify them personally!

The projection device Jerry researched was not just for watching movies; it could project into the sky.

The projection started, and above the Spirit Hall, above the imperial cities of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, as well as above all the major cities, a giant human figure appeared.

This human figure was Jerry, and then the figure began to speak.

"People of the entire continent, hello everyone, I am Jerry of the Spirit Hall. I am here to notify you all now: do not be afraid of the oppression you are feeling; it is because the Douluo Planet we inhabit is about to advance."

"The benefits after the advancement..."
