Chapter 2108

This intense light forced Zhao Chi to close his eyes.

Even with his eyes shut, the light surged through his eyelids, and Zhao Chi's vision turned a sheet of blood-red.

Fortunately, the light quickly dimmed.

Zhao Chi slowly opened his eyes.

The light in his hand was still glaring, but far better than before.

The scene before him... why was everything warped?

The whole world looked like a plastic bag being stretched.

Or like the surface of water with ripples spreading across it.

Everything had become very strange.

The remaining intense light from the fragment of the Sun Wheel was warping along with it.

A piercing shriek rang in his ears.

It sounded like Zhuang Ya's brief scream when she went all the way through.

But soon a ringing in his ears followed.

Then suddenly, it was utterly quiet.

Zhao Chi couldn't tell how long the whole process had lasted; it felt both very fast and very slow.

There was a very strange sensation.

He had never felt anything like it — it seemed as if time itself was warping.

He felt unable to determine how much time had passed.

After another span he couldn't measure, the gold-and-bronze fragment of the Sun Wheel in his hand had shrunk very small, its light steadily fading away.

The next moment, the fragment of the Sun Wheel vanished completely.

The light vanished completely as well.

The warped world returned to normal.

He checked the system time... only 3 seconds had passed.

All that had happened — in only 3 seconds?

So brief?

"Ah! What happened?"

"I don't know, I just felt a bit dizzy."

"I saw you warp just now."

"It wasn't just us — the whole world warped."

"Help me pick these up, I didn't stand steady and all my materials fell."

"I'll help you."

"Me too."

The surrounding female craftsmen chattered away in a hubbub of voices.

They had all felt the anomaly from a moment ago as well.

Zhao Chi had originally intended to go straight to constructing the new building, but under the circumstances, he decided to first check on the situation in Chaoge Town.

There were simply too many prisoners over there; Zhao Chi hadn't expected that a fragment of the Sun Wheel could warp the entire world.

He just hoped Chaoge Town hadn't fallen into panic.

The moment he teleported over, he saw all the slave laborers and prisoners sitting on the ground, staring blankly at Zhuang Ya.

Zhuang Ya stood atop the defensive tower at the center of the town, her entire body wreathed in flames.

She was like a giant lighthouse, blazing firelight blazing all around her, firmly drawing every gaze to herself.

Zhuang Ya was shouting at the top of her lungs, flames shooting from her mouth.

It seemed even her voice had been heated:

"So this is the might of our lord! Another dragon has been slain!"

"This battle even warped the world itself!

"Let alone those werewolf lords who bullied you before — even a dragon! Our lord crushed one without breaking a sweat!"

"Of course, slaying a dragon is still very dangerous, but as long as our lord is here, none of you need worry about such things."

"All you need to do is work hard and create more value for the lord!"

"Later, all of you will also have the chance to join the lord's army! And cast off your slave status!"

"So, all of you get on with your work, and be properly grateful to our lord for providing such plentiful food!"

"Yesterday, 2,000 people joined the glorious labor ranks — I hope today we can add a few more."

"Alright! Stop gawping and get to work!"

Zhuang Ya's voice blazed with fiery passion.

It carried to every corner of Chaoge Town.
