Just as Iceland's president, Anderson Streicher, eagerly organized a pilgrimage to the gods on the new continent, the one they intended to worship had already crossed over to the Otherworld.
"Forcing an asteroid to merge with Blue Star and creating a new landmass in the North Sea Fishing Grounds had an enormous impact on the Planet, even with Divine Power."
"If I'd let it crash straight into Blue Star without using Divine Power, a mass extinction would already be underway."
Seated on his Divine Throne, Jiang Hao altered the nature of some of his Divine Power, making it usable by anyone in preparation for connecting to the Magic Net of the Mysterious Girl, Mystra. As he worked, he thought back over what had happened.
When the gods of the Otherworld merged other planes into the Main Plane, the process was so subtle that almost no one noticed anything strange. Many city dwellers woke to find mountains outside their windows and spring flowers in bloom. What Jiang Hao had done on Blue Star had caused a far greater disturbance. In the Otherworld, the planes' matter merged seamlessly with that of the Main Plane, quietly expanding its continents. On Blue Star, he had been unable to merge the asteroid into an existing continent and could only form a vast new landmass in the Ocean.
