Chapter 1214

"Our preliminary assessment confirms that General Su's judgment is correct—the other side of the space rift is indeed an unknown world!" Chen Wen said in a low voice. "In the days since our arrival, the space rift has been gradually expanding, and several new small fissures have appeared. Calculations show the original rift's tearing rate is accelerating. Our world may indeed merge with that alien world… The only good news is, perhaps our world can still hold out for a few years."

Su Yang pressed: "Exactly how many years?"

"Two to three years at the least, eight to nine at most—who knows? Our research on space rifts is still shallow… This requires long-term data monitoring!"

"If we merge into it, will the outcome be as I described last time?"

Chen Wen pointed to a distant crimson space rift and said: "These rifts likely lead to a volcanic vent—or the airspace above a gathering of fire-elemental beasts. That's no good news!"

Chen Wen continued: "Most likely, we'll plunge in like a marble thrown into mud—we'll be the side crushed into the soil."

Su Yang nodded: "That analogy is indeed vivid!"

But no one likes being crushed into the soil.

If crushed directly into the soil, how many people in the Federation would survive?

Su Yang looked at Chen Wen: "Any good suggestions?"

Chen Wen called to an old man with a goatee beside him: "Old Liu, tell General Su your thoughts!"

Old Liu, Professor Liu, adjusted his glasses and said: "This space fusion point is extremely unfavorable for us. We should try to destroy the fusion between our world and the other. After inspection, the energy molecules in the other world's air are far denser than ours. We can infer that the beasts there are likely far more powerful than ours."

Su Yang asked: "Is there a way?"

Professor Liu helplessly spread his hands: "If General Su's space-type pet can't do it, neither can we. If we concentrate our strength to attack these rifts, we'll only make them larger and accelerate the fusion of the two worlds."

Even the Void Wandering Spirit can't handle it—it's beyond its capability!

This rift stretches for a thousand li—if the Void Wandering Spirit could truly seal it, the Federation wouldn't be worried.

This is the fusion of two worlds. Even if the Void Wandering Spirit became a god-tier pet, it would still struggle to stop it.

After all, a mere divine beast—how could it possibly stop two worlds?

It's not the Creator God!

Su Yang still couldn't accept it: "Is there any other way?"

Professor Liu said: "In our projections, there are two other options!"

"Go on!"

"We suspect our world may have more than one space fusion point," Professor Liu wiped sweat from his brow and continued. "If we can find another fusion point that's favorable to us, we could try to accelerate its fusion process—let our world merge through that point instead. Since we can't stop it, let's just choose a favorable position to merge in. We're quite skilled at destruction, especially when it comes to wounds."

"That's not a bad idea!" Su Yang nodded, showing considerable agreement. "What's the other option?"

Professor Liu took a deep breath and pointed at the rift: "The other option is to go to the other world and see what solutions they might have…"

"That's actually quite imaginative!"

"After the Great Cataclysm, our world's technology nearly collapsed, terrifying beasts emerged, and later, the Beast Tamer profession appeared!" Professor Liu pointed to the occasional fire-elemental beasts emerging from the rift. "It's very likely the other world's rules have influenced ours. If this assumption holds, since that world has beasts, it likely also has Beast Tamers—and intelligent life… They may be far stronger than us. Perhaps they have solutions to help us—safely—land!"

Su Yang sighed: "Will they help us?"

Professor Liu shrugged: "Highly unlikely they'll hold any friendly attitude toward us… It's just a hypothesis."

"Alright."

Su Yang thought the same.

"But the only good news right now is that only beasts have emerged from this rift—not any… Beast Tamers!" Professor Liu said. "This suggests the Beast Tamers on the other side haven't noticed us yet. Once the military's main force arrives, we should send some people to cross over and investigate."

"Mm."

Su Yang felt Professor Liu's analysis was sound.

More than ten days later, Su Yang returned to Mount Dajiao, ferrying batches of Federation investigation team members onto the Floating Stingray's back, and also demolished several buildings in Mount Dajiao to house these investigators.

In no time, the back of the Floating Stingray had taken on the appearance of a small town.

This made Xu Peng's Floating Stingray feel slighted.

After the Yiciduan Society meeting, nearly all members of the vanguard team agreed with Professor Liu's proposal: to petition the Federation to dispatch teams to search for other space fusion points in this world, while preparing to send personnel into the rift to explore the other world.

Of course, searching for other fusion points was the most critical task.

The mission to deliver the message could only be entrusted to Su Yang.

After twenty days of effort, Mo Yi successfully upgraded to Emperor-Rank.

Su Yang had seen Mo Yi's recent efforts.

Jin Lin the Mermaid also worked extremely hard—even harder than Mo Yi—and in a short time, she had upgraded to King-Rank Top-Grade.

After all, the way Su Yang's pets level up makes first-time mermaids addicted!

No beast can resist such explosive growth!

When Su Yang met Marshal Xu, he noticed Marshal Xu seemed older—more white hair, and his spirit appeared worn down.

Perhaps the pressure on his shoulders was too heavy!

The Federation's internal affairs weren't resolved, and now a new major crisis had emerged—even an Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer might not withstand it!

After Su Yang explained everything, Marshal Xu said softly: "This matter still needs to be entrusted to you. Your ability to sense space fusion points far exceeds the normal range of Beast Tamers. If we truly want to search this world, only you have the strength to find them fastest and most reliably."

"Fine."

Su Yang had already prepared himself mentally.

Indeed, across the entire Federation, only he was best suited for this mission.

"Then who will be responsible for the vanguard team's safety? Although no Emperor-Rank beasts have appeared recently, if one does show up, ordinary King-Rank Beast Tamers will still struggle and struggle to guarantee their safety."
