Chapter 599 The Four Directions Return to Their Place
The Small World Fusion Competition has officially begun.
[Qin Dynasty 127, welcome to the arena!]
Winners rise, losers perish. Good luck, good luck to you all!
——
[All four directions return to their proper places—]
The empty, dim world was suddenly tinged with color. A dark blue rift suddenly tore open in the sky, and four small worlds burning with different halos fell like meteorites, trailing trails of black, crimson, bright yellow, and sky blue flames that streaked across the sky.
The bronze artifacts of Qin shimmered faintly in the dark purple light; the vermilion eaves of Han dynasty towers, shrouded in crimson clouds, swept across the sea of clouds; the golden palaces and jade steps of Tang dynasty reflected countless rays of Buddhist light; and the green bricks and gray tiles of Qing dynasty floated and sank in the blue glow. The moment they crashed into the vast world, the space within a radius of ten thousand miles trembled wildly like a shattered glass mirror.
Four beams of light burst forth from the point of collision: the jet black like an abyss hanging upside down, the crimson like flames burning the sky, the bright yellow like the sun falling to earth, and the azure like a deep pool churning. Mountains twisted into abstract totems within the beams of light, rivers swirled and hung suspended in mid-air, and schools of fish froze in the instant of flowing against the current.
The world was divided into four parts; a waterfall of black light cascaded down the Guanzhong Plain, and ancient city walls appeared and disappeared in the black mist; a crimson halo swallowed the Central Plains, and the eaves and brackets of Luoyang were stained with blood; bright yellow clouds turned into a golden veil for thousands of miles, and the pedestrians on Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an were all gilded with the color of glass; azure mist shrouded the white mountains and black waters, and the Eight Banners camps floated and sank in the dark blue waves.
When the four colors of light completely merged, the invisible barrier crashed down.
The people trapped inside the light barrier were horrified to discover that while their fingertips could pierce the glass-like barrier, they could never truly step into the outside world. A completely new world had opened up before, yet they remained trapped within their own territory.
"The World Fusion Competition? So... we've arrived in a new world?"
Emerging from the underground shelter, gazing at the azure light shield enveloping the Qing Dynasty, Yinzhen couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"The New World..."
The brothers looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity. No one had expected that the countdown would end like this.
Yinzhi remained the core among his brothers, and his older and younger brothers subconsciously stood around him. As a result, Yinzhen noticed his absent-mindedness immediately.
"Eighth brother, what's wrong?"
Meeting the concerned eyes of the group, Yinzhi smiled gently and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect this..."
"Who would have thought?" Yinzhen murmured, sitting close to him.
"With the four directions aligned, there are three other countries besides us? Opponents?" Yinreng began his analysis, drawing everyone's attention. The entire Qing Dynasty was once again focused on uncovering the truth.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Yinzhi and Zhu Chongba of the Qing Dynasty, and Fusu of the Qin Dynasty, had all withdrawn a wisp of consciousness and reached the central position, which was still inaccessible to the generals.
...
A crystal dome cast shimmering light as Landis lazily nestled in a gilded throne inlaid with star patterns, her fingertips twirling the soft fur of a black doll and casually curling the ends of her hair.
Two obsidian-like horns on his head reflected a cold light, and a few strands of dark blue highlights swayed among his falling white hair, making his amber vertical pupils appear even more languid and dangerous. The white tiger and qilin beneath him, however, straightened their backs and even breathed very softly.
"Tell me about it." Landis flicked the doll's ear with a seductive tremor at the end of his voice.
The Qilin roared and pounced, its front hooves grabbing his thigh. The auspicious cloud patterns on its body flickered with its rapid breathing: "Master, please listen to my explanation. It's not Wu Mo's fault, it's all my fault!"
The white tiger Wumo's ears twitched, and a choked sob of emotion welled up in its throat, only to be choked back by the qilin's next words—"If I had reacted faster and caught Wumo, he wouldn't have pressed the extraction button twice, causing Master to lose his memory! He may be a little petty at times, but he really didn't mean it..."
"Let you go...you bad thing!" Wu Mo pounced, his white fur bristling, his tiger claws gripping Landis's other leg tightly. "You were the one who said...you're the one who seduced me!"
Qilin Fei Bai suddenly lowered his eyelids, curled up into a ball with tears in his eyes: "If it can appease Master's anger, Fei Bai is willing to accept all punishments."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Mo bit the back of his neck and tossed the pretentious Qilin into a corner: "You damn green tea!"
"Ah—" Fei Bai feigned weakness and collapsed to the side.
"Ahhh..."
Wu Mo was going crazy. Was he not done acting yet? Just as Wu Mo was about to pounce on him and fight, Landis grabbed him by the back of the neck with one hand and threw the furious Wu Mo aside like a kitten.
"Alright, that's enough."
To be honest, Landis wasn't angry. Although half of the alternate identities he created had lost their memories, it made things more fun, didn't it? I'm hitting myself... tsk, that's quite interesting.
Before Wu Mo and Fei Bai could even pledge their loyalty, the little black doll that Landis had been holding suddenly came to life, leaping onto his shoulder in a flash. Its furry body rubbed against Landis's neck, uttering a childish voice: "They're bad, I'm good. Landis, please take care of me! I'm easy to raise and obedient—"
"What are you?" Wu Mo and Fei Bai both bristled at the same time, their infighting halted, and they united against the common enemy.
The dark little doll tilted its head. "You're standing on my turf, asking who I am?"
"Are you the world consciousness?"
"Didn't you die?"
The voices of Wu Mo and Fei Bai intertwined, their surprise and confusion identical. The Small World Fusion Competition selected unclaimed large worlds. After all, what good person would move into a house that already has an owner? That wouldn't be moving, it would be forcibly occupying it!
"I was originally annihilated—" the little doll affectionately rubbed against Landis, "but Landis created me again—seriously speaking... I should be Landis's son, right..."
Before He could call out "Dad," Landis pinched His mouth shut, saying, "That's too kind of you, there's no need."
He didn't really want to raise a child, but when he looked into those round, black eyes, Landis couldn't help but fantasize about a little monkey in some other world... He couldn't be a father like that a second time!
So, Landis pinched the back of the little doll's neck, as if pressing a switch, and the little doll closed its eyes and turned back into a motionless, dark blob.
Landis casually placed the item in his palm and played with it. He glanced at Wu Mo and Fei Bai, who were sitting below in surprise, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Always wandering around, you should have a place to stay."
"so?"
"So, how can this be a world without an owner? It clearly bears my name, Landis—"
