"The worlds are merging!"
"Academician Zhang, what exactly do you mean?"
"What happened to science? There's nothing scientific about this!"
When Zhang Hongxing told the Ten Grand Elders that the Classic of Mountains and Seas World would soon merge with Earth, their first reaction was disbelief.
Even though Zhang Hongxing had already surprised them time and time again.
After all, something like worlds merging was beyond normal human comprehension. Not even biographies or novels had ever described such a thing.
"I'm not joking. I can't find a suitable explanation for it yet, either. The merging of two worlds will definitely have consequences.

"Academician Zhang, I'm afraid this won't be easy. Even if we believe your judgment, there are over 1.6 billion people in the Xia Kingdom. We simply can't persuade that many people. And even if we did, where could we send them?"

Elder Xia glanced at Elder Shang, who turned to Elder Zhou, who then turned to Elder Qin...
