Lost at the Crossroads of the New Continent

An unsolved mystery of the century—how did colossal creatures like Godzilla and Lava Dragon manage to stand on the surface of the sea?

And Lava Dragon, an Elder Dragon standing 130 meters tall and roughly 250 meters long, with a bulkier and heavier build than Godzilla of the same volume—how exactly did it rise out of the sea?

Cheng Tian had been curious. Cheng Tian charged forward. Cheng Tian got his answer. Cheng Tian was thoroughly satisfied.

Ultimately, those air currents were merely supplementary. What truly allowed Lava Dragon to rise above the water was the submerged land near its landing point.

The water might have appeared over a hundred meters deep, but for Lava Dragon, it only meant taking a few more steps forward.

If only the fleet and Lava Dragon had staggered their timing—one taking the broad road, the other crossing the narrow bridge—then everyone aboard, humans and cats alike, would not have gotten to experience the thrill of bungee jumping without a cord.

Perhaps having seen through this, the moment Cheng Tian entered the sea, the person in charge of the
