When the people of Douluo Continent saw the video, they opened it out of curiosity. But the images inside instantly drained the color from their faces and filled them with fear.

Bibi Dong sprang to her feet at the sight of a continent cleaving through wind and waves. Her lovely face turned deathly pale, and she cried out that it was impossible.

"A continent... A continent is moving? Is that really something humans can do?"

After a long while, Bibi Dong slowly sank back into her chair, her face still pale. At last, she understood the reason for the sudden dread in her heart.

"Heh."

Bibi Dong sighed softly and gave a few bitter laughs. "So that's it. Now I see. No wonder the North Nether Great Emperor said what he did."

"A surprise. What an enormous surprise..."

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.

After seeing the images on the Sky Screen, only one thought remained in Qian Daoliu's mind.

They've gone mad. Every last one of them!

If the two continents collided, what were Douluo Continent's chances of survival? The answer was zero!

The collision's tremors through the Earth Veins were only part of it. Before that, they would have to withstand an impact from the Northern Underworld Empire powerful enough to destroy all of Douluo Continent.

Taken together, their chances of victory were not even twenty percent!

"Angel God above, how did things come to this?"

Qian Daoliu slowly lowered his head. Every cause and consequence led back to Tang Hao. If not for him, the Northern Underworld Empire might not have gone to such extremes.

Boom!

The Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the ground. Tang Hao stared blankly at the video on the Sky Screen.

"The... the continent is drifting?"

The next instant, he dropped to his knees with a thud, his face pale and his eyes vacant. "It's over. Everything's over!"

He had never imagined the other side would move an entire continent over to find them. Tang Hao already regretted what he had said.

"We can't win. There's no way we can win..."

Tang San was no different. He fell to the ground, stunned by the sheer scale of it. In two lifetimes, he had never seen anyone so extravagant that they would steer a continent over to ram someone.

What use were the Hidden Weapons he took such pride in? Could they kill gods? Could they seal a throat with a single drop of blood?

And even if they could, what good would that do? Faced with something of this magnitude, they were nothing but children's toys, unfit for the stage.

[Dugu Bo: Sigh~ What a remarkable life it's been. I never thought I'd run into every strange thing there is. I suppose I can die without regrets.]

[Chrysanthemum Guan: Old Poison, what's this? Saying your last words already?]

[Dugu Bo: Chrysanthemum Guan, I'm in no mood to argue with you. We're about to die, and you still won't give it a rest?]

[Chrysanthemum Guan: If I gave it a rest when I'm about to die, wouldn't that be a waste of a death?]

[Dugu Bo: You have a point. We've fought all our lives, and now, at the end, I find I'm a little reluctant to part.]

[Chrysanthemum Guan: Heh, Old Poison. I never thought you'd say something like that in the end. But I feel the same way.]

[...]

Despair blanketed Douluo Continent. Almost every Soul Beast began delivering last words or wailing at the top of their lungs.

It was no wonder. The sight was terrifying. Someone was steering an entire continent at them. Even the Great Luck wouldn't play like that, would it?

Just then, Yu Xiaogang jumped out and started barking again.

[Yu Xiaogang: Bo Saixi, why do you have these images? The two places are still so far apart. How did you get this information?

Besides, a continent isn't rootless duckweed. It's connected to the Mantle and the Crust, and it's unimaginably heavy. What in this world could support a continent sailing across the sea?]

[Yu Xiaogang: Could you be working with the Northern Underworld Empire, using this scheme to seize our Douluo Continent?

I'd say this is a trick you and the Northern Underworld Empire devised together to deceive us!]

[Tang San: Teacher is right. You must have established contact with the Northern Underworld Empire long ago. I'm afraid even this so-called Sky Screen is your doing, isn't it?]

[Tang San: As the ancients said, subdue the enemy without fighting. I think you're trying to frighten us by deliberately showing us a moving continent.

That way, we'll obediently hand over our territory, and you can occupy Douluo Continent without losing a single soldier. Am I right?]

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's face turned livid. Reading Yu Xiaogang's words on the Sky Screen, she wanted nothing more than to tear him limb from limb.

"That damned wretch! If the Sea God's Divine Decree didn't forbid us from entering the continent, and disaster weren't closing in, I'd have gone to Douluo Continent already and made him beg for death!"

Sea Spear Douluo swung his arm in fury and punched the stone wall beside him.

Bo Saixi took a deep breath. This was no time to quarrel. They needed to unite and deal with the disaster before them.

[Bo Saixi: Yu Xiaogang, you say I'm conspiring with the Northern Underworld Empire? How ridiculous!

When the Northern Underworld Continent collides with Douluo Continent, Sea God Island will be caught between them and destroyed. Do you think we would ally with the Northern Underworld Empire?

I'll tell you the truth. Lord Sea God just issued a Divine Decree and sent us these images. That was how we learned what was happening.

If you weren't within the same Douluo Continent region as Sea God Island, we wouldn't bother getting involved.]

[Bo Saixi: Yet here you are, still suspecting one another. It seems Douluo Continent's chances are grim.]

Everyone's expressions changed at Bo Saixi's words. They had not expected the images to come from a Divine Decree issued by the Sea God himself.

Whatever anyone else thought, Qian Daoliu understood the weight of that claim. The Sea God had personally issued a Divine Decree. The situation must be urgent—perhaps even a matter of life and death.

"Angel God, please send me a Divine Decree. What should I do...?"

Qian Daoliu looked gravely at the Angel God Statue before him, then knelt and prayed with all his heart.

But even then, the Angel God sent no Divine Decree.

He wanted to go to Sea God Island and help, but he knew that even a Limit Douluo, with the power to move mountains and fill seas, would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, a mantis raising its arms to stop a cart, against an entire continent.

And Bo Saixi worshipped the Sea God. She would never abandon Sea God Island. In the end, she could only perish with it.

[Bei Mingxue: Bo Saixi, I never expected your god to dare turn his prying gaze on our Northern Underworld Continent. What outrageous audacity.

Our ancestor just taught him a small lesson as punishment. As for the rest of you—hmph!]

[Bei Mingxue: Everyone on Douluo Continent, don't forget: in three days, I will pay you a visit in person.

I remember every word you said on the Sky Screen. When the time comes, I hope you won't hold back during our little "friendly exchange."]

[General Long Wei: Don't worry. I'll give you a proper welcome. I only hope your bones prove harder than your mouths!]
