Chapter 153

The scene presented in his field of vision was an extraordinarily shocking sight.

At the end of his line of sight, where sea and sky met, faint white lines appeared one after another, accompanied by a rushing sound.

His eyesight was exceptional, so naturally he could also see the scenery at an extreme distance, and make out many details clearly; thus he very clearly captured that it was a massive landmass... unknown when it had appeared, yet also as if it had originally belonged there, the coastline seemingly extending boundlessly, spreading out.

However, Xia Zhi could completely confirm that it had absolutely just appeared mere seconds ago.

—Because before that, that direction should have had nothing at all.

—Or rather, it should be said, whichever direction, this sea surface should have been entirely empty.

He had already lingered in this sea area for several years, and naturally had explored every ocean current clearly, patrolled back and forth who knows how many times, for the purpose of confirming that all land surface had sunk, from continents to islands alike, not a single bit survived.

But now, an entire massive landmass had suddenly appeared.

So abrupt and without any warning, what other situation could it be? He naturally could only think that an entire continent had transmigrated over.

—As the sound grew louder and louder, the white lines on the horizon also became more and more distinct; that was an unprecedented terrifying tsunami, driven by a visibly raging storm, destructive flood peaks hundreds to nearly a thousand meters high sweeping across the entire ocean.

—At this very moment, it was simply as if the entire sea had completely churned into turmoil; the previously dead-silent boundless sea surface revealed in an instant a terrifying aspect like nature enraged and gone mad, venting unparalleled terrifying energy in surging torrents.

"..."

"..."

Xia Zhi gazed at the strange phenomenon appearing at the end where sea and sky met, slightly narrowing his eyes.

This turbulent atmosphere and ocean currents, though extreme...

Were also merely the first wave of impact...

That is to say, the so-called omen; even more terrifying and horrifying impacts would presumably follow close behind—

But thinking about it, it makes sense; an entire continent suddenly appearing there, regardless of how this process was realized, no matter how naturally it appeared, would inevitably compress all matter at that position; the massive amounts of air and seawater were certainly evacuated like this, resulting in unimaginable storms and tsunamis!

Air over a vast area suffered violent compression; gas expanded at an extremely high rate in an extremely short time, supersonic shockwaves exploding outward in all directions, instantly stirring up the most violent storm impact on this planet.

Tens of billions of tons of seawater also surged up, driving myriad currents to rush forward; every current carried a massive mass far heavier than mountain ranges moving along, forming giant tsunamis capable of swallowing mountains and turning land into marshlands.

This is undoubtedly an absolutely destructive natural disaster, like the arrival of the end of the world!

Of course, considering this world was actually already destroyed long ago, the end of the world arriving again isn't anything scary.

After all, no matter how fierce, a pure natural disaster wouldn't be more brutal than the White Destruction ten thousand years ago, so Xia Zhi wasn't too worried about pure disaster problems. Anyway, he didn't need to shoulder it all; no matter how strong this terrifying energy, it had no meaning, its influence on him wasn't very large, and it didn't constrain too much of his energy.

The youth merely had a bit of simple concern—

How that continent appeared, and for what reason it appeared.

He was indeed consciously waiting for the second transmigration phenomenon to appear, wanting to see if he could catch another batch of otherworld visitors.

After all, just this one planeload of passengers, counting generously only two hundred-plus guinea pigs; hoping they'd blaze trails through hardships and create a civilization was still not very reliable. Linhai's side was well-prepared, brought how many shiploads of supplies to actively transmigrate, and even in numbers still had five hundred wastes; Xia Zhi felt increasing the number of transmigrators was necessary.

Numerical advantage is one of the main advantages of group transmigration.

And more personnel joining in could also bring more ideas, more possibilities to the current guinea pig group.

It's just that although he waited for the second transmigration phenomenon, he didn't expect the scale of the "group" transmigrating from the other world this time would slightly exceed expectations.

It seems an entire continent transmigrated over; what to do about this?

Moreover, he subconsciously thought a bit, couldn't help pulling at the corner of his mouth... was it really only this piece of continent that transmigrated? Were the other regions of the planet also the same? Would all seven continents have reappeared in the world? These are obviously also among the problems that need to be considered.

At this moment, Xia Zhi, realizing roughly how troublesome the situation was, suddenly felt his whole person wasn't good.

After all, destruction is always easier than construction; under the same power level, he could easily trample all human civilization, but that doesn't mean he can easily settle all human civilization. A principle understandable just by thinking... which is easier, killing seven billion people, or settling seven billion people?

It's not saying it's absolutely impossible, but the latter is undoubtedly countless times more troublesome than the former.

Even though he now possesses tremendous power surpassing the human realm, by human definition simply a divine spirit possessing great power, or an omnipotent existence, he would inevitably feel a massive headache over the figure of seven billion; after all, this isn't a one-off deal, but a project requiring long-term operation.

Xia Zhi, despite hoping to revive the dead-silent planet, let life and civilization prosper anew, reaching six billion, seven billion, or even larger numbers.

But that was a target prepared to be achieved step by step, slowly—

With at least six thousand years of abundant time, allowing him to design, adjust, and control bit by bit.

Not saying now suddenly it must be done in one step, directly receiving an entire transmigrated human civilization; this was completely not in his initial expectations.

In a turn of an instant, he didn't know how many thoughts he had thought.

And at this time, the massive storm and giant tsunami in the distance had also pressed close.

For an island that has been completely processed by magecraft, whose entire ecological environment including gravity parameters are all standard Lilliput, even a normal storm surge assault would be a catastrophic disaster, let alone defending against this end-of-the-world level calamity.

If he did nothing, the simulated sandbox Xia Zhi painstakingly built would certainly evaporate just like that.

The pre-set defensive jutsu were insufficient to block this level of natural disaster; they hadn't even made direct contact yet, and cracks had already appeared due to violent vibrations.

Watching as it was about to completely shatter, exposing the entire island to the external violent currents and atmospheric impacts, Xia Zhi could only helplessly shake his head, then extend his palm, five fingers spread, backhand lightly hooking the air—

That instant, the "Light Wall" encircling the entire island...

Was thus formed!

This is precisely the move Vivian later prepared to replace the Fantasy Tree domain; the genius Magician who acquired the Divine Realm of magecraft using Rhongomyniad, using this Barrier Magic she herself wove, covering the entire Britain Lostbelt.

Xia Zhi, now having obtained the simulated Divine Spear Circuit, could also easily exercise this Mystery, and even more simply. And because the island to be covered didn't have as vast an area as Britain Island, for him it was simply effortless.

Immediately after, he just coldly watched the howling storm and tsunami submerge everything.

Only the newly formed "Light Wall" stood unmoving in the torrent; no matter how the violent airflow and vertically massive sea tides impacted, it was difficult to shake even half a bit.

All lifeforms living within didn't even perceive the arrival of the catastrophic disaster.

That small group was hard at work stockpiling supplies, attempting to obtain more food, building larger, more standardized, more sturdy camps, vividly showing the prototype of a primitive tribe thriving and developing.

The Sea of Nothingness was no longer dead silent.

Or rather, the entire planet was no longer dead silent.

Ocean currents and atmosphere completely churned up; violent remnant waves passed through the entire planet, and could still be felt on the other side, that fierce astonishing energy.

Xia Zhi simply observed for a bit, confirming the worst thing had happened; indeed it wasn't just one continent that transmigrated, but suspected all seven continents appeared simultaneously... in this spacetime disturbance, as if another world's Earth, the whole thing, heavily smashed into this side's world.

What's troubling is that the vibrations triggered seem to be unilateral; as for those landmasses that transmigrated over...

They seem to have no influence at all?

This is indeed very strange; however, after Xia Zhi confirmed it, he discovered it was indeed the case.

The storms and tsunamis seem to rage only on this side of the world, raising wave after wave of terrifying impacts; yet those landmasses are completely unaffected, as if they aren't even on the same layer at all — when the violent meteorological backlash surged back, they actually passed straight through the continents.

Just like a mere exquisite holographic projection, with no real entity existing.

Xia Zhi also watched with a face full of question marks; what situation is this?

He truly couldn't understand it, but this didn't hinder him from conducting further investigation; amid the violently surging chaotic meteorological phenomena, he made a general circuit above the nearest continent, basically confirming this was the European region — the opposite world where the transmigration phenomenon occurred was indeed another universe's Earth as expected.

Moreover, the lights of civilization spread everywhere, looking like the development level was not inferior at all; it should also be that "modern" century in his impression.

As for more specific intelligence, there was temporarily none.

Because he seemingly also had no way to enter inside; even just approaching to a certain degree would be blocked by some inexplicable repulsive force. That bizarre power prevented Xia Zhi from continuing to approach, and also made him unable to conduct further observation.

He could only just watch like this.

Quietly thinking of a method to solve it.

Simultaneously.

On the other world's Earth.

"Not right, why is it still like this..."

In the unknown experimental site, facing the freshly produced report, a scientist desperately and painfully clutched their hair, closing their eyes.

"There might really be something watching us since not long ago... its observation interfered with the experiment's results... we have no way, completely no way..."
