Fu Mu appeared to be beneath Central City, but in reality, half of its body existed within Field Space, and the entire surrounding area had taken on a semi-field form.
One outward exit from this semi-field was the Convergence Zone.
Besides serving as the hub for Central City's field information, Fu Mu was also responsible for containing all the rifts throughout Jibei Province.
Any rift not maintained through a ritual or specific conditions could be drawn in and contained the moment it appeared.
If not for all the Central Cities scattered across the world, countless rifts might already have spread everywhere, allowing who knew how many extraterrestrial entities to rush in through those cracks.
Since the Algae Oil Revolution sparked an explosion in biotechnology, the massive increase in food production had kept the world's population growing, which in turn had led to a continual increase in the number of Central Cities.
Even so, because the population was unevenly distributed, many areas of the world remained vast and uninhabited, making it impossible to contain every rift. Those places were especially vulnerable to infiltration by entities from the other side, and had now become the hardest-hit regions for cultists and conspirators alike.
But here in Jibei Province, Jin Guogang would never allow such a thing to happen on his watch.
Through the special World Token worn by his ear, he could clearly see Fu Mu's immense mental power rising like extraordinarily viscous clouds of rosy light. It merged with the mental power of the large field creatures in other Central Cities, forming a solid, condensed line of defense that enveloped the entire world.
Even catching only the tip of this vast spectacle was enough to shake him to the core.
"Administrative Chief, do you need to go down and take a look?"
