World Fusion
"You're back."
"Are you a pig? How can you sleep so much?" Wang Ming, upon hearing the voice, was utterly impressed.
"I was mainly sleeping with my girlfriend, that's why I lingered a little longer," Ling Yuan said with a chuckle, rubbing his shoulders.
"So, how much did you give?"
"Sixty million."
"Well enough."
"You're just that indifferent?"
"Otherwise what?"
"That's 60 million! I've never seen so much in my life!"
"It means you haven't lived long enough."
"..."
"Alright, here you go."
Wang Ming handed a bank card to Ling Yuan.
"The password is six 8s."
"Did you take the 12 million?" Ling Yuan asked as he took the bank card.
"No."
"Why didn't you take it?" Ling Yuan asked curiously.
How come such a greedy kid didn't get his share?
"How was I supposed to know this sword was genuine? At first, I thought you were just kidding me." Wang Ming glanced at Ling Yuan.
"What are you saying? When have I ever given you counterfeit goods?"
As he spoke, Ling Yuan made a slash in the air.
"The money has been transferred to you."
Just as Ling Yuan finished speaking, Wang Ming's phone rang.
The notification sound followed immediately, "Ding! Flame Nation Trading Company reminds you that twelve million has been deposited into your account!"
"Really?"
"Didn't you want to buy a car? Consider this a windfall I helped you make."
"Holy crap! Give me a hug right now!"
Excited, Wang Ming opened his arms and walked towards Ling Yuan without saying a word.
"Get lost, I don't like men."
Ling Yuan pushed Wang Ming away without any mercy.
"I cried. My parents have never been this good to me."
Looking at the bank information on his phone, Wang Ming was so moved he almost cried.
Be content; at least you still have your parents.
Wang Ming: "..."
Looking at Ling Yuan, Wang Ming was silent for a while before saying, "Why don't you become my dad's adopted son? He'll definitely be happy."
"You're dreaming. You'd better take good care of yourself."
In the next ten days or so
Everyone's life was relatively uneventful.
The only strange thing is that Hermes disappeared.
Although puzzled, Ling Yuan did not have a good impression of the Eagle Country, or rather, the Western gods.
Of course, Athena, a virgin goddess, is an exception.
"Knock knock knock"
Early that morning
Ling Yuan habitually opened his eyes and felt a throbbing in his chest.
But soon, that feeling disappeared, replaced by a familiar notification tone.
"Ding! Master, your beloved system is back!"
Does it have a female-version mode?
Ling Yuan said subconsciously.
"No..."
The voice, which had been lively, suddenly went silent.
"Upgrade complete?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me, what did you discover after analyzing the World Fragment?" Ling Yuan sat on the bed and asked curiously.
"I've been waiting for a month. If you can't give me a clear answer, don't blame me for kicking you around like a football."
System: "... Please prepare yourself, Master. What is about to happen may be too fantastical."
"Don't underestimate me, I've read a lot of fantasy novels."
"This world will disappear!"
As the system finished speaking, Ling Yuan frowned. "Reason."
"By analyzing the World Fragment, the system learned that there is an invisible hand controlling the World Fusion."
"This world was originally the same as the master's original world. It would not generate spiritual energy at all, and it also belonged to the projection of the heavens."
"When you say projection, do you mean those movies and animations?" Ling Yuan asked.
"Yes."
"Continue."
"All of these changes happened a thousand years ago."
"A powerful and mysterious will descended, launching a sneak attack on the dormant World Will and severely damaging it."
"The World Will, having realized this, mobilizes its primordial power, takes people's faith, and manifests mythology to counter it."
"However, after two hundred years of fighting, it was ultimately defeated. Just when the World Will was about to dissipate, it used all the origins of the universe to reinforce the World Barrier, blocking the Mysterious Will outside the barrier."
"As the World Will dissipated, the mythical beings created through the world's origin gradually lost their energy and could only seal their weapons before dissipating, thus forming the ruins we see today."
"The Britain Lance and Holy Sword of Celtic Mythology."
"Then why are Greece, Northern Europe, and the Vatican all fine?" Ling Yuan asked.
If it's as the system says.
As the World Will dissipates and the mythical beings vanish, why do these three pantheons still exist?
That doesn't make any sense at all.
System: "Because three hundred years later, a new World Will was born."
Chapter 511 World Fusion
"The new World Will is different from the previous World Will."
"He knows the demise of the World Will, and being a product of the post-war world, He is fully aware of His own weakness."
"Like the World Will, it also coveted the power of mythology."
"But He did not want to expend too much of His primordial power to create mythical beings, especially since He also wanted to share a portion of His primordial power to reinforce the World Barrier."
"So?" Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Therefore, the myths known to the current master are all genuine and truly exist in other dimensional worlds."
"He merely opened a channel connecting the two."
"Is it like the World Bubble?"
"The master can understand it this way."
"Aren't you afraid of a backlash?" Ling Yuan asked.
"To prevent beings from other worlds from turning against the main world, the world has delegated its authority to important things in other worlds, such as the World Tree," the system replied.
"Through projection, the world learned the cause of the myth's collapse, and thus made a deal, allowing the World Tree, which had been blessed by the Law of Life, to be fearless of Nidhogg."
"To reach a deal with each other in order to achieve the idea of mutual survival."
"Therefore, the gods were constrained, and after five hundred years of development, the gods also became addicted to this life that was kept above ordinary people."
"This is the world's initial path in its fight against the Mysterious Will."
"It wasn't until the Flame Nation developed an ability called [Contract] that the World Will's will turned its attention to the Flame Nation."
"What about the mythology of the Flame Nation?"
"Cannot be found."
"?"
"We just can't find them. The immortals from Flame Nation's mythology can't be found in other parallel worlds. We've only found a few ruined cultivation worlds. Sunset City is one of them."
After listening to the system's explanation, Ling Yuan fell into deep thought.
"Etc!"
However, as he thought about it, Ling Yuan's expression changed.
"According to you, the spatial rifts between demons were also opened by the World Will?"
Ling Yuan keenly noticed something.
"Ding! Yes."
"..."
Upon hearing the system's words, Ling Yuan fell silent.
After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh, "He is truly cunning and shrewd, having completely deceived all living beings."
"Ding! The World Will has chosen to conduct a selection process in order to facilitate the arrival of the myth and to improve overall strength in a short period of time."
"Survival of the fittest, a dark world with strength on par with the main world is a good candidate for selection."
Ling Yuan finally understood.
The world is forcing humanity to evolve, and in order to guard against Mysterious Will, they have even chosen to stick together for warmth.
"Where did that contract come from?"
"I don't know, it's been obscured," the system said.
"Aren't you very capable?"
"The other party should be a system of the same level as me, and Master, I am not in my complete form yet."
"So you're really bad at this game."
System:"..."
If you can talk, then talk more!
"Alright, the question about the World Will has been resolved. Now tell me about that Mysterious Will sealed outside the world."
"What exactly did you see in the fragments?" Ling Yuan changed the subject.
"Ding! Master, have you heard of the World Fusion?"
"..."
