Chapter 599: Merging Two Worlds
Chapter 599: Merging Two Worlds
"Where do we go from here?" Lin Xiao looked at the vast expanse of flat ground that stretched in front of them. Although it seemed peaceful and without danger, they all knew that it was full of creatures beneath the ground or hiding themselves from sight.
These beasts would, in normal situations, not pose much of a threat to their group, as Xue Wei had an overpowering Sovereign Beast Aura, but their previous encounter had already made it clear that in the No Man's Land, this aura was useless.
For now, all of them had to depend on one another to survive, and even the slightest mistake might lead to their demise.
"From what we have seen so far there are not only hordes of scorpions in this area, there is also some sort of overlord. This overlord is likely to be much more dangerous than the other beasts since it is able to petrify them and make them lose their ability to fight back while being consumed.
"Even if we encounter another group of scorpions or some other beasts around this level of strength, then we can fight our way through, but if we encounter this overlord, then we might be facing some real danger."
Xue Wei was also feeling a little uncertain as to how to progress.
"It is a beast, and the amount of scorpions it ate yesterday should be enough to make it feel full for a period of time. I would suggest that we find the most direct way away from this area and hope that it will not feel hungry before we have left."
Hei Gou had not taken the initiative to participate in these conversations after losing his memories, but after the talk with Xue Wei the previous evening, he was willing to open up.
Among their entire group, Hei Gou was without a doubt the one who understood beasts the best. Even Xue Wei, who was at a higher rank would not have the same kind of understanding since he was raised as a human and had been in constant confusion about what it meant to be a beast.
"Since the collosal is likely to have fallen asleep now that it has eaten, it should be the most suitable time for leaving. However, even though this beast is sleeping, the many others are likely to be more active since they are the most used to the habits of this killer, so we still have to be careful and alert."
Lin Xiao was not a beast himself, but after Hei Gou, he was the one with the most experience in how to hunt beasts, and thus also on how to avoid them.
As an inheritor of the Diviners within the Chang'an Continent, he had been taught how to hunt and subdue beasts from a very young age, and he used some of this knowledge to warn the others.
Xue Wei and the spirits were painfully aware how important it was to stay vigilant, so all three nodded their heads in agreement. This No Man's Land was truly dangerous, and not a place that could be easily traversed.
"It feels as if we have entered some sort of alternative world. While this area is still connected to our own world, it is more as if a pocket dimension has been forcefully attached. The usual laws and regulations that control the rest of our world do not seem to have any influence here, also the air seems different, and even the beasts are unlike any we have encountered before."
Bai Tianyi could not help but speak suddenly. They had walked for a whole morning, and it was close to noon when he pointed out the things he had noticed this morning throughout their movement.
Ever since they began moving, they had not encountered any other beasts, so he had a good time to examine their surroundings.
Although he heard about this No Man's Land, he had never been here before, and thus the knowledge he had was purely based on rumors. Now that he was here himself, he found that it was as if they had entered a new world, and many things did not seem to add up.
"Is it possible to integrate one world with another?" Xue Wei could not help but frown. He was reminded of his visit to the Ghost Realm, and while they had removed the inability to ascend, he had never thought it would be possible to physically move the realm and then merge it with the world they lived in now.
Yet, after considering it, he decided that even if it was a possibility, he would not have been a great supporter of this. Although the Ghost Realm was a ruthless and dangerous place, the major problem was that it was extremely glum and depressing. The ghosts living within were ruthless and used to killing for survival, and if a whole realm of ghosts were merged with their world, it was likely that these ghosts would end up destroying this world.
Bai Tianyi was looking around and could not help but frown. "I think it is, in theory, possible, but it would have to be done prior to Lan's arrival. I doubt that he is the one who merged the two realms, and it could not be done after he took over the position as the Sovereign God."
Xue Wei frowned and nodded his head. Many things were unclear, and after realizing that someone had schemed against him for so many years, he could not help but wonder if this merger of worlds had anything to do with the culprit in the darkness.
However, if the merge was done prior to Lan's arrival, it should not? However, it was hard to say, when considering that even their visit to the Ghost Realm was calculated so accurately.
