Chapter 150

The sudden tremor has already disappeared.

The inexplicable spacetime disturbance did not appear again.

Because he had only experienced it once, Xia Zhi was not too certain whether it was a chance phenomenon, whether there was any pattern to follow; he could only take that previous location as the center and expand the search range outward.

And under his extremely meticulous and patient carpet-style search, he did indeed obtain some results.

Although they were not the clues related to transmigration that he had expected, but rather the remnants of the Gods' Battlefield that had sunk beneath the waves along with the continent, buried for eternity in the cold, dark ocean depths...

The most valuable were naturally the other Machine God True Body wreckage, but only comparatively large pieces had value; however, he basically could only find some fragments. Like the one he encountered at the start, the structural wreckage of half a starship, that seemed to be an exception among exceptions; thinking carefully, perhaps it was the result of multiple coincidental factors.

Enough to destroy an entire planet, shatter all civilizations, shatter all gods—

On that kind of unimaginably intense tragic battlefield, a Main God as the defeated side was yet able to leave behind such a complete "corpse"; that was indeed an extremely low probability event.

Xia Zhi even suspected a little that this unknown Main God who left behind half a starship wreckage might actually have been relatively weaker, at least the type with weaker frontal combat ability, so they were not worn down especially severely in battle... because they did not frontally bear the greatest pressure, it was very likely they merely roamed in the rear, playing a role of support, crowd control, restraint, and the like.

Although, in the end, they still could not escape a calamity...

After all, when the nest is overturned, how can there be any intact eggs?

After the Machine Gods fighting at the very front were all blown up one after another, losing the main DPS and the MT, the support position in the rear naturally could not escape either. At most, in this process they were not struck frequently, so the hull's battle damage was relatively lighter.

It was also precisely because of this that the other Machine God True Body wreckage he was able to find...

Seemed to really be mostly only fragments.

It's just a pity that under such circumstances, there was also no way to say that collecting however many fragments could be exchanged for a complete Machine God or such a setting, so Xia Zhi was only interested in relatively complete wreckage, and had not much motivation to collect fragments... mainly because they were shattered too outrageously; apart from the metal material itself, there probably wasn't any other value.

On the contrary, it was those God Era Species samples—

Such things as giants, dragons, giant beasts... those instead made him a bit more interested.

It's just a pity that after several rounds of careful examination, he helplessly discovered those samples had not left behind any "Factor"; it could be said they were meaningless; he couldn't possibly take them back as decorations, right?

That is probably the terrifying aspect of the white giant god that invaded the planet; it would undoubtedly thoroughly destroy both life and civilization, absorb spiritrons from sentient beings, harvest, collect, recover all kinds of information... now the entire surface world of the planet has been destroyed, the useful spiritrons and information have probably all been harvested already.

This naturally would not leave behind anything valuable.

This also caused Xia Zhi's idea of wanting to study God Era Fantasy Species through this to go bankrupt.

Normally speaking, those Fantasy Species active in the true Age of Gods are all extremely Superior pure bloodlines; even if they cannot reach the level of the Dragon of Albion where, after dying for myriad ages, shed flesh pieces can still maintain activity and even transform into another form of lifeform...

At the very least, they should also be able to let their own "Factor" remain, not disappearing for a very long stretch of time.

But the enemy just happened to be aiming for total extermination, directly "inactivating" all the remaining samples; all spiritrons and information were absorbed, harvested.

Facing such a situation, Xia Zhi could only sigh at the ocean, lamenting that he had ultimately missed a good opportunity.

—Originally there were so many Fantasy Species in this world...

—How come not even a little bit of DNA sample could fall into my hands...

Sun rises, moon sets.

Crows fly, hares run.

Although the land has disappeared, the Earth's surface leaving only the Endless Sea, the planet's own rotation and revolution are still as always.

The Earth circles the Sun once, that is one year;

The Moon circles the Earth once, that is one month;

The Earth rotates once, that is one day.

Precise and regular, also letting Xia Zhi precisely grasp the passage of time. After several years' effort of patient exploration, having walked through almost every ocean trench, every stretch of seabed, he finally searched through the sunken Europe Continent roughly in its entirety, collecting all the Machine God True Body wreckage that could possibly be found.

Apart from that half starship at the start, only four pieces of barely more complete wreckage were found...

He estimated this should be all of it; after all, the Machine Gods at that time were certainly all intercepting the enemy at the Europe Continent's Headquarters, and after their defeat, the damaged Machine God True Bodies certainly also mainly scattered on this continent's battlefield...

On this day, Xia Zhi stopped his steps for the first time in a long while.

The youth seriously scanned this Endless Sea before his eyes, falling into a certain contemplation.

His original plan at the start was actually to roughly search the Europe Continent region at the fastest speed, then set out for the next continent's region; he didn't expect to be delayed for such a stretch of time, even completing a carpet-style search of the sunken land during this period.

But even so, even if he deliberately stayed for such a stretch of time, he still could not wait for another "Otherworld Crossing", "Celestial Sphere Convergence" or such phenomenon to occur.

This of course cannot prove that was an extremely individual chance phenomenon, an absolute exception.

But he also does not intend to continue waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit like this.

It's not giving up, but that he had a better and more wonderful idea—the youth gazed at the Endless Sea, and then without seeing him make any movement, the air before him began to ripple with golden ripples, clearly as if space had been torn open into a gap leading to another dimension, from within which, like dropping dumplings—

Clattering down towards below, ton by ton, "meat chunks".

That's right, "meat chunks"!

Severed limbs and arms, mixed with large amounts of flesh and blood... that scene was simply too horrible to look at, like opening floodgates to release water, poured out from his Personal Warehouse.

But this is also something that can't be helped; after all, almost all are fairies who died in war or accidents; the corpses' appearance naturally isn't that good-looking; missing hands, missing feet, missing wings is the most normal thing... despite the huge quantity, truly complete corpses really are few; the vast majority are this situation.

These fairy corpse chunks, in Xia Zhi's view, are purely materials.

Deliberately collected precisely to be useful at this juncture, so the unloading movements also appeared very casual.

And this scene naturally appears somewhat bloody; tens of thousands of corpse chunks, tons upon tons of flesh and blood, just like dropping dumplings casually poured out... no matter how you look, this scene looks like murder and body disposal, and disposing of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands at that quantity level; even Bai Qi would have to call it professional.

Xia Zhi seriously watched this process.

These fairy corpses dead for a stretch of time had already undergone proper "fermentation", evolved to a critical point, merely stopped from continuing that process by Magecraft processing.

However, at this very moment, the Jutsu has been released—

These materials for Creation, also naturally, the instant they came into contact with the Outside World, began to continue evolving.

Under the gaze of the only surviving lifeform in this world, the only witness, the once body structures of countless fairies rapidly evolved from flesh and blood towards another material; solid mud gradually formed, heavier elements sank toward the center, lighter elements rose to the surface, as if naturally delineating different geological layers.

In his line of sight, he could almost see an island rapidly taking shape.

Not very large, but under the evolution of the piled fairy corpse chunks, when the foundation appeared and stabilized, the land also began bit by bit to expand toward the further outside, bit by bit emerging above the sea surface.

And simultaneously, at the very center of the land, different colors also began to be dotted in.

It was a lush, tender green.

This was the result of the evolution of those fairies known as Forest Children; plants began to appear on the newborn islands and rapidly flourished, spreading across one vibrant, life-filled place after another.

Everything was evolving visibly to the naked eye, and Xia Zhi was thoughtful, feeling he had gained a more intuitive understanding and realization of the origins and history of Britain Island.

Not long after.

Once everything had subsided, a huge island stood tall upon the Endless Sea.

Although this "huge" was relative, Xia Zhi did not expect this island to directly rival the area of Britain Island—that was impossible. After all, Britain Island's vast expanse of over two hundred thousand square kilometers was piled up by the fairies' ceaseless deaths through countless corpses.

It was absolutely not a scale that the materials at hand could easily compare to.

But this was enough for now.

Anyway, the fairies were like chives; more would be sent over endlessly to fill the sea and create land. As long as they were willing, recreating the land layout of the seven continents was merely a matter of time.

Xia Zhi looked down with satisfaction at the newborn island beneath his feet, then began to correct its gravity field, covering the entire island with barrier magic to artificially create a False Sky Box and an "Atmosphere"... these were the environmental conditions necessary for the Guinea Pigs to survive on this island, or rather, this continent.

After several more cycles of day and night passed, he finally completed the various operations that required great precision.

From gravity, to atmosphere, to terrain, and the natural ecology that evolved on the island, all had undergone his intervention and adjustment using his own abilities or magecraft and magic.

If viewed from mid-air, at first glance one might think it was an entire continent lying quietly across the sea surface.

Continuous mountain ranges and forests of towering trees covered the land, long rivers wound their way, originating from snow-covered mountains and rivers... it was almost impossible to see all the details clearly, but considering the size of the island itself, this continent was more like a very realistic super-large sand table.

Xia Zhi examined it for a while, then opened his Personal Warehouse again, letting the Magic Coffins inside fall one by one, dropping toward the island above.

Unusual phenomena occurred; as they passed through the island's "Atmosphere," which was the set barrier magic, the proportions of every coffin rapidly shrank, turning into tiny black dots almost impossible for the naked eye to see clearly... when all the coffins landed on the island, the passengers inside all woke up one after another.

——The jutsu of Artificial Hibernation was undone.

——The awakening of consciousness was but an instant.

They had not even figured out what had happened, nor did they know how long they and the others had slept, only feeling as if their vision had gone dark for a moment, and then the surrounding scene changed from the cabin to a pitch-black expanse.

And when they discovered they seemed to be sealed inside coffins, they were suddenly terrified, shouting and struggling, desperately pounding on the inside of the coffins.

Soon, the lids of the coffins were lifted one by one, and the passengers sat up in shock from within, greedily breathing in the fresh air of the outside world in large gulps, while looking around in both surprise and fear, as a brand new, wild, primitive Heaven and Earth came into their view, with huge ferns intertwining into forests in the distance.

This is... what place?

Before the terrified ones could subconsciously ask out loud, a voice rang out.

"This is what I have prepared for you, and also the only place in this world where you can survive; as I said, you can live here... at least you won't die without knowing why."

The youth sat smiling on the edge of a reef not far from the coastline, laughing with open arms toward everyone, as if embracing this strange Lost Continent.

"But whether you can survive depends on yourselves; struggle, survive, fight—whether it's a Shelter or food, you must fight for it yourselves; this is not within my service scope, understand?"

"......"

"......"

A brief dead silence.

Finally someone reacted, suddenly feeling chills all over; an elite man in a suit and leather shoes was the first to break the silence. He looked trembling at the wild ancient fern forest in the distance, his face full of despair and bitterness as he spoke: "You... you want us to survive in the wild in such a world?"

"How... how is this possible?"

"We don't have any relevant skills at all!"

"......"

"......"

The youth on the reef thought for a moment, then laughed: "True, if I don't give you a little help, this game probably can't go on and will crash... so, I'll provide a little extra friendly help, just this once, it's free of charge."

He lightly flipped his wrist and took out a glass bottle.

The bright red liquid inside flowed thickly, appearing without impurities; under the refraction of light, it seemed to contain inexpressible Mystery and magic power.

"This is Aralin Bloodline; combining it with human bloodlines may cause some wonderful reactions." The Devil smiled at everyone, "How about it, do you want to try becoming Demi-humans to survive in this New World?"

Four thousand years of the Fairy Calendar...

Two thousand years of the Queen Calendar...

Added together, at least six thousand years; he prepared to use this long time as the Creation Period to let this dead planet regain vitality. But it was not simply about recreating Human Civilization; rather, it was to establish his testing ground on the ruins of the Old World, from the design of life to the intervention of history—perhaps all were items on the list.
