Blooming on All Fronts
In the Real World, the places where the incidents occurred were not limited to the places Shen Hui was investigating.
Of the remaining teams investigating the other strongholds of the Laughing Moon Cult, nearly half encountered ritual traps set by the Laughing Moon Cult.
Similar to what Shen Hui and his group experienced.
One of the teams had all absorbed Laughing Moon's divinity, causing them to be controlled and explode, resulting in their deaths.
Only the Creation World, controlled by Laughing Moon, remained as the foundation upon which He descended into the world.
There were also groups like Shen Hui's who sensed something was wrong but did not absorb the divinity.
However, since other members of the team absorbed it, the result was still roughly the same.
As the Laughing Moon descends, a great war to create the Creation World unfolds, culminating in an offensive that nearly destroys the battlefield.
Laughing Moon's high-profile display of true power began to erode all the creators of all the Creation World, causing them to fall into a deeper realm of consciousness.
No one can resist the corrosive influence of the Laughing Moon God's divinity.
The Laughing Moon World began to spread outwards from different places, and the spread started earlier than that of Shen Hui and his group.
So while Zhuge Hongjing and Zhiyue were still resisting Laughing Moon God's divinity, the flowers had already bloomed elsewhere.
However, when Laughing Moon resisted the Cthulhu power revived by Shen Hui, most of the power descended by the other Laughing Moon phantoms was also drained away.
Therefore, most of the power is still concentrated on Shen Hui and his group, which is why Laughing Moon was able to suppress Cthulhu's resurgence instantly with the deep space.
Moreover, Shen Hui and his group were closest to the Land of Ruins, where no humans existed.
Therefore, Laughing Moon's arrival allows for better expansion there, although the need to stabilize the space slows down the process considerably.
The other unusual phenomena were quickly learned of by the World Association and other major families and forces.
A force from another world is eroding the Real World they inhabit.
Although this level of damage is not too severe, it is impossible for them to completely occupy and replace their world all at once.
It has been a long time since anything like this has happened in their world.
What this represents is the growing power of these restless heretics.
This means that the sealed passages connecting to other worlds are becoming increasingly weak.
What's happening now is a strong wind, a calm before the storm.
No one expected it to be just a well-founded investigation.
The fact that it caused such a huge commotion shows that the Laughing Moon Cult was underestimated.
The piercing sirens were blaring in every city across the five regions.
A semi-transparent energy shield appeared in the sky, constructed from the purest World Will and rules.
Nobody knew their city even had such a thing, but now it's being used.
All of humanity, filled with panic, looked up at the distant sky.
The colors there were like a negative, strangely inverted, and there was a moon in it, just like the Sun on their side right now.
Although the affected area is not very large, it is spreading little by little.
The commotion Shen Hui caused in the Death World was only felt within a single city.
That peculiar world we see now is the enemy.
All organizations within the World Association have been dispatched to suppress the expanding Laughing Moon World.
At this moment, all families and forces mobilized to provide joint support to the nearest location.
Although humanity still has many trump cards up its sleeve, the current situation must be taken very seriously.
Within the World Association, they also contacted Fan Hao, the president of the World Association, through special means.
Even within the Giant God Cult, the High Priest in a parallel universe was enraged upon sensing the intrusion from the Laughing Moon World.
She hadn't expected that she had originally intended to use the World Association to suppress the Laughing Moon Cult.
But this move by the opponent...
The high priest immediately contacted all the enforcers and dragged them all into a parallel dimension.
"We never imagined that the Laughing Moon Cult's hidden strength was far greater than we thought."
"Our plans have all become stepping stones for them, but it's impossible for them to rise to power and dominate this world through us!"
"The expansion of the Laughing Moon Cult must be stopped, at least until our Colossal Creature World descends and dominates."
"High Priest, what do you mean?"
A law enforcement officer asked.
"You should immediately contact the members of the Giant God Cult that you can reach, and have them use their own Creation World to stop the expansion of the Laughing Moon Cult."
"If necessary... we can use the power of the Titan God. I will contact you then, and you will all participate."
"Yes, High Priest!"
All law enforcement officers immediately returned from the parallel universe and began to mobilize people to stop the expansion of the Laughing Moon Cult.
While some are busy, others are secretly laughing.
Within a certain faction, a group of people stared with smiles at the appearing mirror image of the Laughing Moon.
"Mother is returning; Mother is the true moon of this world!"
"The moon we see now is an illusion; our mother is the real one!"
"Let the world awaken to the truth; my Laughing Moon Cult will become the torchbearers, illuminating the falsehoods of this world!"
The others, all with strange smiles on their faces, shouted:
"Let the world awaken to the truth; my Laughing Moon Cult will become the torchbearers, illuminating the falsehoods of this world!"
Meanwhile, in Shen Hui's area, the Laughing Moon, which had just begun to expand, had not yet formed a unique phenomenon reflected in the sky.
It is still slowly absorbing the surrounding space, constantly stabilizing and growing stronger.
However, just as Laughing Moon continued to devour and expand, growing stronger in this Land of Ruins.
A Raven with cunning eyes was darting around in this place filled with spatial rifts and chaotic, void-like currents.
It seemed to be able to ignore the damage from these things, and even squeezed into the spatial rift.
Then it emerged from another spatial rift.
The Raven was having a great time, as if searching for something in those rifts that led to nothingness and chaos.
However, the ever-expanding Laughing Moon World caught the attention of the Raven.
The Raven flew to the edge of the expanded territory and hovered in the air, tilting its head as if to examine it.
Then, mimicking human speech, it cried out, "It's unbalanced! It's unbalanced!"
It immediately flapped its wings and flew headlong into the World Domain that Laughing Moon had expanded.
Moreover, the Raven radiated a seven-colored glow the moment it entered.
The source of the light was colorful orbs emanating from the Raven.
Laughing Moon didn't even notice that it had entered this World Domain as a collection of seven-colored light spheres.
There was no fluctuation or aura whatsoever.
Through its special senses, the "Raven" sensed Shen Hui's location and flew towards it.
