Chapter 299

Ring-shaped light gradually enveloped the earth, separating the people here.

Jiang Xia raised his hand and waved; an invisible force burst forth instantly, pulling the bodies of Huo Ye Yingsi and Anku, who had already been split on the platform, away.

This time, with his interference, they were not sent to another time point.

"What on earth is going on?" Houteng hadn't come to his senses, looking at the city that had successfully flipped, he muttered.

The world's destruction had already begun; even the face of Yi Da Ming, who had just wanted to exchange his hairstyle for money, instantly turned solemn.

"Is this how the world is destroyed?" Yi Da Ming said softly.

"This device uses desire as its power source, dividing the ground; not only space will be exchanged, but time will also fall into chaos."

"If history is disrupted, the world will soon become chaotic; this is the premise for Kara ruling the world."

Jiang Xia stared at the alchemical matrix before him and told everyone the results of his analysis.

On the flip side of the city exchange, many people dressed in ancient clothing looked fearful at the modern urban buildings.

Judging by the clothing, the exchange should involve several hundred years, an era when warriors existed as the ruling class.

"What place is this exactly?"

Like the person exchanging money, a white-clad middle-aged man with a topknot hairstyle looked around somewhat puzzled.

He tightened the knife at his waist and took the first step from the city's edge.

Listening to the noisy sound from afar, he slowly approached, and he was surprised to find that many people here had the same hairstyle as him, and their faces bore fervent expressions.

……

"Everyone, stop exchanging; this will cause the land to flip."

Houteng blocked one of the people who hadn't exchanged yet, shouting with all his strength at the young-looking but balding office worker.

Looking at Goto blocking himself, the office worker rubbed his gradually thinning hair and spoke to him with a hint of anger:

Since I chose to become a programmer, my hair has been abandoning me, falling out at an average rate of seven strands a day; now that I finally have a hair‑growth method, you actually want to stop me.

The office worker, only in his early thirties but with hair like a sixty‑year‑old, shouted at Goto:

Are you even human? Don't look at your full head of hair now, but if you reached my age, you'd understand my feelings!

Get out of the way!

The office worker shoved the unprepared Goto, causing him to stumble and fall into the crowd, then he resolutely joined the trade of exchanging his hairstyle for money.

Little Goto, don't be sad—more and more people will come to exchange; the lure of money can make people lose control, and besides, that person isn't just after money but after hair growth. Yi Da Ming laughed as he pulled Goto up from the ground.

He was obviously amused by this reason for exchanging hair, so even as the world was about to end, a trace of smile still lingered on his face.

Because he thought the joke was genuinely funny.

There are too many people here; if we fight and defeat that maid, we might injure the crowd, so our target should still be the protective shield. Jiang Xia said.

The news of free money spread at breakneck speed through every street and alley; all those who hadn't exchanged yet, like sardines fighting for food in the sea, surged in from all directions, even the few of us were making room for those behind, otherwise we'd be scattered by the ecstatic crowd.

Excited roars came from all over the skyscrapers; under the stimulus of money, people had become completely mad.

Uncontrolled desire was like a demon; if it weren't for the clown maid's supernatural power, she probably would have been torn apart alive by this mob of mad people.

Just for money, it has already run through most people's lives.

Now the whole city's population has been drawn here. Jiang Xia said with a slight headache.

It seems to become a Core Coin Alchemical Art practitioner, one must first learn to calculate desire,

Even he hadn't expected that 5 million yen would already drive so many people into a frenzy.

Perhaps because Jiang Xia, when learning this history, hadn't carefully examined the aspect of exchange numbers, but only now might he realize that this sum of money has already blasted a huge pit in the heart of an ordinary person.

Jiang Xia could feel that people's desires hidden deep in their hearts were being detonated by the exchange, thus plunging them into being controlled by desire.

Hahaha, although the desires of this era are complicated and utterly corrupt, their impact can still be this terrible—I really underestimated this era.

Kara, who was healing her wounds on the top of the white tower, burst into loud laughter at the sight of the overflowing cell coins.

With just a bit of small change one could obtain such a huge amount of cell coins and even end this era—how could he not be happy?

Kara turned her head to look at the desire scale, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

On that blank scale, as the last cell coin fell.

Only a sound like mechanical gears rang out, and the other side of the sky was moving upward at an extremely slow pace.

Connected to it, the enormous cell coin flipped over again,

And somewhere in Yumemi Town, a plot of land had completed the exchange.

The wild wind swept through the forest, shaking the verdant leaves from the treetops; this exchange was likewise like a forest, except the trees here were far taller than those in the previous German forest—fully more than twice the size of ordinary trees.

Just this alone, Kara would never bother to expend such effort choosing this target, nor would she spend such a huge amount of cell coins……

This is something that can enable the true lost coin to exert its original power.

Something is coming over, and it's huge.

Anku put away the coin storage box; his eyes had completely turned red, and he was observing from afar with an eagle's vision.

I heard the booming sound of heavy objects stepping on the ground, the roars of animals, and a heartbeat like a great bell.

Goto focused his spirit, straining to identify what was producing that sound.

A huge shadow soaring in the sky, leading the fierce wind to glide through the heavens,

The feather‑covered skin and membrane‑like wings kept waving, and the surrounding birds compared to it were as different as an eagle and a jet fighter.

At the same time, Anku finally saw clearly what was producing those strange sounds.

The black shadow in the sky gradually revealed itself to their eyes.

It's a Feathered Serpent God Pterosaur. Jiang Xia looked up at the shadow in the sky and said.

The Feathered Serpent God Pterosaur is the largest pterosaur in history; of course it also has another name, Wind God Pterosaur.

The largest Wind God Pterosaur, with wings fully spread, reaches 15 meters—about the size of an airplane.

This isn't over yet.

A deafening roar sounded in the distance; its brown, rough skin and massive, powerful thighs left an enormous footprint on the cement floor.

If the Wind God Pterosaur rules the sky, what rules the earth? The answer is the Tyrannosaur; the Tyrannosaur family includes many similar dinosaurs, but the one charging toward here is truly a land overlord.

Fifteen meters long, a hip height of five meters, weighing a full thirteen tons, it is a gigantic carnivorous Rex Dragon from the Cretaceous. "What is this? Tyrannosaurus Rex!!!"

Anku saw the massive gaping mouth of the Tyrannosaur roaring toward the sky, and even though he had witnessed many absurd things, the appearance of the Rex Dragon left him stunned for a few seconds.

That ferocious beast could crush any human; unless one wields a truly powerful heat weapon, it is hard to harm an animal of that size.

As the Tyrannosaurus Rex approached, the ground began to tremble, and the indescribable, genetically‑etched fear stirred terror in several people's hearts.

What made matters worse was that behind them stood people already blinded by desire; once the Tyrannosaurus Rex charged straight at them, no number of people could help.

It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex, not to mention the countless pterosaurs in the sky; at pterosaur speed, these people could not get far even if they tried to flee.

"Mr. Da Ming, can Birth and a gun defeat a dinosaur?"

Hou Teng, upon learning that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was heading straight for them, turned to Yi Da Ming and asked.

"Hmm! It should be possible," Yi Da Ming said, rubbing his chin.

"Don't even think about it; the exchanged space is filled entirely with Tyrannosaurus Rexes and pterosaurs, and Birth, who can only transform using ordinary coins, is useless," Anku said without hesitation, shattering Yi Da Ming's illusion.

"Huo Ye Yingsi, use the Union!" Anku pulled out three green Core Coins.

"But the Union's power is massive, and given your current situation, you might get eaten by a dinosaur."

"It's fine, Anku; I've used the Union before, and last time I even used multiple Core Coins, so it's okay."

Huo Ye Yingsi took the Insect Core Coin from Anku's hand and said, "Mr. Jiang Xia, I'll leave the shield to you; I'm not sure how long I can keep it up, but I'll do my utmost."

"No, the dinosaurs are mine."

Jiang Xia shook his head, "Although the Insect Union can create duplicates, it has no anti‑air capability, so it can't counter the attacks of the Wind God Pterosaur."

"You're just an ordinary human; once your power is exhausted, if the Core Coin in your body erupts, it will go berserk and lose distinction between friend and foe."

Jiang Xia seized Huo Ye Yingsi's wrist, preventing him from transforming into the Union.

To deal with dinosaurs, he himself is a massive dragon, and he also possesses the power of a Dinosaur Core Coin within him.

Using a Dinosaur Core Coin against dinosaurs is just right.

"Let's go; after I handle this, I'll rush to support you."

Jiang Xia turned and walked alone toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his body gradually emitted a peculiar scent.

In that instant, every dinosaur's eyes involuntarily swiveled at once, and a strong stimulus instantly flooded their brains.

Feeling the dinosaurs' gazes around him, Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction; he loves being the center of attention.

Although they are neither worshippers nor enemies, it's strange that these dinosaurs follow Jiang Xia.

After all, no one can resist a food that exudes an alluring fragrance, even to the point of drawing the brain.

In the eyes of that herd, the current Jiang Xia is exactly the bait they most crave to devour in one bite.

Jiang Xia stood alone here, a violet aura instantly radiating from his body,

Every part of his body was covered by violet armor, the scattered plates joining together.

"Ptera! Tricera! Tyranno! Pu·To·Tyranno, Zaurus! (Dinosaur Union)"

Broad violet dragon wings unfurled again from his back, and the violet tail's gentle sway already cracked the ground.

The next second, a ferocious impact bearing a Blood-filled Mouth snapped toward Jiang Xia in the split‑second before he could react.

Watching the abyssal maw draw nearer in his teal eyes, Jiang Xia's face beneath the armor lifted a faint smile as he flapped his wings.

To the dinosaurs, his relatively slight body vanished in an instant; his tail swung powerfully, so forcefully that it seemed to suck the very air out.

Boom! The tail, imbued with Tyrannosaur power, slammed heavily onto the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body.

"Roar!" The Tyrannosaurus Rex, fifteen meters long, six meters tall and weighing thirteen tons, let out an instant wail.

Its tank‑like body was flipped over, and the intense pain radiating through it caused it to curl up quickly.

The Tyrannosaur‑powered tail acted like a plucked rubber ball, flinging the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body far away.

After sensing Jiang Xia's might, the Tyrannosaurus Rex rose and deliberately lowered its head.

Its massive skull pressed tightly to the ground, emitting a low whimper from its mouth.

There is a leader among the Tyrannosaurs; defeat it and you can command every Tyrannosaur in the area.

Jiang Xia swiftly interpreted the submissive signal the overturned dinosaur transmitted.

Although the posture clearly indicates submission, you must respond and ensure it won't betray you midway.

Perhaps only Jiang Xia, who possesses the Earth Library, can understand their meaning.

Although their brains are simple, they're not completely unintelligent; it just depends on whether you can command them.

Since humans began recording history, perhaps no one has ever imagined they could conquer dinosaurs.

Jiang Xia let out a roar, and the strange scent from his body turned into a signal challenging all the dinosaurs.

His dragon wings quivered, and in an instant he broke the sound barrier, soaring into the sky.

The Wind God Pterosaur, circling in the sky, let out a screeching roar and launched an attack on the intruder in its aerial domain.

To humans, one might only see countless winged black silhouettes colliding in the sky, interspersed with the wails and moans of unknown creatures.

But for Jiang Xia, it's a perfect chance to conquer the pterosaur flock, a single man against all the Wind God Pterosaurs on the island.

All the island's pterosaurs were drawn in; each collision between Jiang Xia and the flock produced a pterosaur that fell from the sky, stripped of its ability to resist.

"Boom!"

Jiang Xia, equipped with violet dragon wings and a Tyrannosaur tail, barreled through the Wind God Pterosaur flock.

The Tyrannosaur's tail, like a whip, snapped repeatedly at the bodies of the Wind God Pterosaurs, and each beat of his twin wings dealt heavy blows to nearby pterosaurs.

Although they are large, their skeletons are hollow, and even sharp claws and beaks cannot breach the Dinosaur Union's defense.

Moreover, Jiang Xia's flight speed surpasses theirs, so the battle's outcome was decided from the start.

Jiang Xia turned into a violet meteor, flashing across the sky, and countless pterosaurs were heavily battered, falling like dumplings onto the ground.

After hearing the answer that satisfied him, Jiang Xia then turned direction.
