Chapter 1196

In addition to Emperor-grade fire-elemental ferocious beasts, King-grade and Starglow-grade fire-elemental ferocious beasts have appeared.

But they cannot reach the height of the Storm Eagle, flying instead at low altitudes, carried by the heat current toward the distance.

With the Explosive Yan Mo and the Earth Rampager working together, the Black Smoke Volcano Eagle had almost no resistance and was instantly shattered by a single punch from the Earth Rampager.

After killing the Black Smoke Volcano Eagle, the Explosive Yan Mo and the Earth Rampager cooperated again to kill two Emperor-grade ferocious beasts.

When Su Yang, prompted by the Storm Eagle, looked toward the horizon, he was utterly stunned.

At the edge of the horizon, in the void, countless irregular red-orange facets and spatial rifts had appeared.

The edges of these irregular facets and spatial rifts looked as if they had been violently torn apart.

Like a piece of clothing ripped open, and these cracks were gradually spreading and expanding.

Su Yang could imagine that if these rifts continued to tear open, becoming vast facets, and those facets expanded further and merged into one whole… eventually, another world would be fully exposed before their own.

The Void Wanderer's judgment was correct.

Su Yang's world was indeed merging with another world.

From these facets and rifts, orange-red terrifying flames occasionally erupted.

Many fire-elemental ferocious beasts took advantage of the gaps between these eruptions to fly out through the facets and rifts.

Then, propelled by the scorching air currents, they spread out in all directions.

It was very much like a different kind of ferocious beast invasion.

But seeing how most fire-elemental ferocious beasts, upon appearing, immediately launched frantic fire-based attacks on the ocean,

Su Yang knew that the vast majority of low-level, low-intelligence fire-elemental ferocious beasts were directly launching suicide attacks on the ocean—meaning they likely wouldn't have a major impact on the human world in the short term.

They seemed inherently incompatible with water!

But their current lack of impact doesn't mean they won't have a major impact later.

Su Yang sank into deep worry.

He didn't know what the other world was like.

And it seemed their world's luck wasn't good at all.

The moment fusion began, it fused with a region where fire elements were extremely active.

Just look at the fire-elemental ferocious beasts pouring out—clearly, the other side of the spatial rifts was unlikely to be friendly.

Fire-elemental ferocious beasts!

Su Yang suddenly remembered the Divine Beast Nirvana Phoenix that had once swept across the Federation!

Perhaps that Nirvana Phoenix, whose power had been absurdly immense, wasn't native to their world at all!

Perhaps it had entered their world from this very fusion zone back then.

Why had the Nirvana Phoenix come to their world?

Maybe because the fusion zone was near its nest, and it had just come for a sightseeing trip…

It seemed there was too little information; Su Yang, at this stage, couldn't understand the Nirvana Phoenix's motives.

"Void Wanderer, is there any way to stop this?"

Su Yang truly didn't want his world to merge with another world.

It meant more danger!

If possible, Su Yang preferred to keep things as they were—for now.

"Probably not. This is a collision between two worlds; even a Mythic-grade ferocious beast couldn't stop the fusion process!"

"What will happen if our world merges into the other?"

"It will likely be completely consumed, becoming part of the other grand world."

"Will it affect the Federation?"

"Very likely," said the Void Wanderer. "I suspect the entire fusion process is an extremely violent attraction and bonding—beyond triggering catastrophic natural disasters, half of your world might be entirely buried beneath the yellow earth of the other world, unless some great power could flatten your planet into a surface and lay it over the other world…"

The thought of a spherical planet being embedded into another possibly spherical world made Su Yang shiver involuntarily.

The image was simply too horrifying.

Su Yang chuckled bitterly: "Impossible. This is pure fantasy. If we flattened our world and laid it over the other world's surface, it would mean the other grand world's corresponding region would be destroyed too… Our world has no such power. The other world might, but that would be pure self-harm for others' benefit!"

"Yes!"

"So the reason for the Great Catastrophe is these constantly expanding spatial rifts?"

"Correct. The other world is far more massive and its rules are far stronger—it's altering the rules of this world, which is why your old technology gradually became useless as the world's rules changed… Recently, the rules of this world have been aligning more closely with those of the other world, accelerating the fusion rate dramatically, hence these phenomena."

"Could other regions of our world have other large-scale fusion zones?"

"If that world is large enough, there might be more than one fusion zone!"

"I understand."

Su Yang quickly recalled all his familiars and vanished from this spatial fusion zone.

This matter affects the entire world.

He couldn't possibly bear it alone.

Moreover, this was beyond human capability—him trying to alter the fusion of two worlds was like a fool dreaming.

He decided to report it to the Federation first, and let everyone brainstorm solutions together.

The Huaxia Federation has many brilliant minds; perhaps they can find a way to resolve it.

In Shengjingcheng, Marshal Xu sat in his chair, carefully reviewing documents.

Actually, he didn't need to worry much about the documents—though ferocious beast masters in this world were powerful, the Federation still had a group of strategists.

They might not be ferocious beast masters, but they possessed exceptional intellect.

Exceptional intellect was important at all times.

These documents had almost all been approved in meetings; he only needed to review them briefly and sign and stamp them.

Just as Xuyuanshuai was about to sign accurately, his hand suddenly stopped.

He slowly raised his head and saw Su Yang standing right in front of him.

Xuyuanshuai furrowed his brow, signed the document, then said slowly: "General Su, remember to use the door next time!"

The office of the Federation's supreme leader is not a place one barges into at any time.

Fortunately it was Su Yang; if it had been anyone else, Xuyuanshuai would have blown up on the spot!
