Chapter 2663 Wanting to Make Up for Shortcomings
The fluctuations started out quite weak, gradually grew stronger, and rapidly spread outwards.
Before long, the two True Venerables' avatars approached from afar, this time together.
There was no other way; it was such a big deal. Although they had made preparations, they still had to keep an eye on things.
Unfortunately, just as they approached, a gigantic spider phantom suddenly appeared, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers.
The spider did not emit any divine sense, but only released a faint aura of pressure.
However, the meaning is already quite clear: This road is blocked, do not approach!
"This is... Hiss," the two True Venerables gasped in unison.
After a moment of surprise, the two men respectfully raised their hands and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
They remembered the spider; it was on the shoulder of the True One who merged the world.
The two instinctively thought that it was just that person's pet—of course, being able to appear in the starry sky meant that its cultivation level couldn't be bad.
But who would have thought that this person would actually be a Divine Lord?
No one in the Yelang realm has ever seen the Great Lord, and it is even a question whether the Great Lord has ever come at all.
However, at this moment, the two True Venerables subconsciously sensed: This... this one is definitely an existence above True Venerable!
Whether they were above the Great Ruler is hard to say, but with their limited imaginations, they couldn't think that far ahead, much less dare to.
But the Great Khan is already terrifying enough, isn't he? Even if he appears above his rank, shouldn't he be at least a little too overpowered?
The two of them had prepared a speech before they arrived, but now, what the hell... what can they say?
Who would have thought that the three True Venerables were not the entirety of the opponent's power?
And how could a great king so disregard his image and lean on the shoulder of the true sage?
The spider sensed the other party's greeting, but remained unmoved and showed no reaction.
The two True Lords were not surprised. Since the two who were tricked did not bother to explain, it was normal for the Great Lord to be even more arrogant.
One of the True Venerable's clones tried to communicate with the other, but was glared at fiercely by the other.
—If you're looking to die, go ahead and do it yourself. I'm not done living yet!
The two silently retreated to a distance of tens of millions of kilometers, and just watched quietly.
The fluctuations continued until the fifth day, after which they ceased to intensify and continued indefinitely.
The fluctuations did not affect the entire Yelang realm, but only roughly one-fifth of the area.
However, the sectors closest to the center of the fluctuations were still strongly affected.
The two True Venerable clones continued to receive messages from the outside world, including natural disasters, various anomalies, and panic among the cultivators of this realm.
The two had given prior warnings, but dared not speak too clearly, for matters concerning the True Venerable should not be discussed with lesser cultivators.
If cultivators in this realm knew that cultivators from the outer worlds were coming, the resulting turmoil would be even more unpredictable.
These two have lived long enough to understand that the dissemination of such information must be gradual, allowing people to accept it step by step.
Only by doing so can we ensure that the basic order of this world is not greatly affected.
For minor cultivators, the True Venerable's warning was no small matter. The two of them spoke vaguely, which caused considerable panic.
Now that disaster has struck, although the loss of life was minimal due to early warnings, there's a feeling that the disaster is intensifying...
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand that helplessness, despair, and even near-despair.
However, faced with the influx of news, the two True Venerables could not offer any guarantees, nor did they dare to make any promises.
The two could only be certain of one thing: this group of cultivators from the outside world acted in a relatively disciplined manner.
At the very least, the location of the merging of the two realms is relatively open, with no surrounding landmasses, so the human race of this realm is less affected.
After five days, when the fluctuations stopped intensifying, the two True Venerables finally breathed a sigh of relief—it was finally over!
However, whether the volatility will increase again in the future remains to be seen.
The two True Venerable clones were filled with trepidation, but they didn't yet have the strength to consult anyone, so this torment continued...
After another half month, the fluctuations first weakened, but soon after, they suddenly intensified, becoming stronger than any previous phase.
The two True Venerables were instantly dumbfounded: What on earth happened?
Just as the two were filled with anxiety and wild guesses, a figure flashed by.
The one who arrived was that female cultivator with extraordinary combat power—but judging from the current situation, she might actually be the weakest of the three True Venerables on the other side.
Xiaoyou said calmly, "It was just a minor accident, and the fluctuations won't be strong anymore."
After saying that, she disappeared again, which served as a reassurance to the cultivators of this world.
In fact, this change occurred because the person in charge of merging the two worlds changed hands.
Qu Zhenzun stopped to rest, and Han Li took over to continue the fusion, but the latter's proficiency was obviously a little worse, which is why there were repeated setbacks.
There's no need to tell these details to the True Lord of this realm.
Two weeks later, the fluctuations recurred, but the magnitude was smaller than the previous one.
This time it was Xiaoyou who took over, so there's not much to say. She had been observing for a longer period, so it's not surprising that her performance was slightly better than Hanli's.
Han Li himself did not consume much energy, but this kind of operation was intended to be stable and sustainable, and some strength needed to be preserved to protect the Dharma.
Xiaoyou and the others were also eager to try, and after repeated urging, she finally took over.
Han Li watched her work for a while, then raised his hand to do some calculations before speaking, "About... two years."
"Two years is only the initial integration," Qu Jianlei said calmly. "Complete stability will take about two hundred years."
However, this is no longer their concern. With the initial integration complete, the next step is to see how the Yelang Realm adapts.
Basically, it was a natural, spontaneous evolution.
In addition, Qu Jianlei had other insights: "I understand a little better now how the Forgotten Peninsula was formed."
This collaboration between the three True Venerables, involving the merging of only a small realm, has already gone to such great lengths.
The spatial folding of the Forgotten Peninsula is even more difficult and complex!
Qu Jianlei really couldn't understand why Lingyun Sect would create such a forbidden area.
He was somewhat certain that the Forgotten Peninsula scheme was not something the True Venerable could have orchestrated.
If a true master could do this, Qu Jianlei felt that he was not qualified to covet the title of "the strongest true master in history".
Han Li was intrigued by him. "What do you think there is about the intersection of worlds on the Forgotten Peninsula?"
Qu Jianlei remained silent for a long time before answering, "You're not thinking of going after them, are you?"
"A little bit," the daredevil actually nodded, but then he sighed.
"However, it feels a bit dangerous, mainly because of the resources and information involved... It would be a shame to waste them."
True Venerables have a strong premonition of potential dangers, and Han Li's perception is even stronger than that of ordinary True Venerables.
However, the biggest reason that made him stop was that he couldn't bear to destroy the Crossroads of the World!
This guy has a really big heart.
"What are you planning to do?" The next moment, Xiaoyou's divine sense transmitted over.
Her abilities are truly remarkable; while assisting in the world's integration, she can still manage to keep up with gossip.
"Come on, give me a break," Han Li said, growing increasingly impatient with her. "Why should we share our opportunities with you?"
However, Xiaoyou answered confidently, "If I succeed in distracting myself, I can protect you both!"
Does a distracted deity need a protector? Absolutely! But even more undeniable is that almost no true deity can afford a great lord as a protector!
This has nothing to do with how much wealth one has. The key point is that the vast majority of True Venerables are simply not qualified to communicate with True Monarchs!
Therefore, Xiaoyou's promise is quite remarkable.
However, Han Li was so angry that she was furious. "Protect us? Ha! Don't be ridiculous!"
"Trying to distract us before we do... How thick-skinned do you have to be to say that?"
What gives you the confidence to think you're more talented than the two of us?
“You don’t have to accept,” Xiaoyou said calmly, “but want to make a bet?”
"What are we betting on?" Han Li is willing to risk death, and he's always going to take it on bigger and bigger, so why would he be afraid of this?
"I'll talk to you privately later," Xiaoyou replied calmly, "Let's make this clear beforehand, a bet's a bet!"
"I can't possibly lose," Han Li sneered disdainfully.
Then he straightened his face and said in a serious tone, "But in my whole life, I hate gambling the most!"
"Small bets lead to financial ruin, big bets lead to self-destruction. Do you really think I don't understand?"
"Hehe," Xiaoyou chuckled dismissively, but didn't say anything more.
In the second round, Qu Jianlei started first again, and the fluctuations did not show any significant changes, and the same was true later.
The two True Venerables of Yelang Realm must have realized it too—so it was these three who took turns attacking?
In fact, once they learned from Xiaoyou that the fluctuations would not change significantly, they had already spread the news.
The biggest problem now is how long this endless fluctuation will last.
The Spider King blocked their way, and the two of them didn't dare to ask any questions. They could only raise their hands and make a divination gesture.
It wasn't about actually divining, but rather about seeing what attitude the Great Khan would take towards this behavior.
The spider didn't react at all, not even a fluctuation of its aura.
Seeing this, the two mustered up their courage to do some calculations, but they didn't dare to be too specific; they just made some indirect calculations.
Even so, this behavior still attracted Han Li.
A handsome young man appeared, his face ashen. "Don't you two understand the impact of divination on cultivators of the same level?"
He was really impolite, not even calling you "fellow Daoist" anymore—do you two even know what mistakes you're making?
“Fellow Daoist, we have been very careful,” a True Venerable said aggrievedly, “We just want to know when the fusion will end.”
"You may not know this, but this influence has already caused too much panic in this realm, and may affect cultivators in smaller realms in the future."
"Is this considered a threat?" Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's fine, you can just focus on attacking the Lesser Realm."
"I haven't had the experience of destroying a middle-thousand world yet, and I really hope you can help me fill in this gap in my knowledge!"
