Following a thunderous rumble,

a massive, pitch-black columnar object, some twenty zhang tall, suddenly rose from the desert in front of the Lotus Continent Evil Monk.

Immediately after, the Evil Monk unhesitatingly activated his Divine Ability—World's End—

teleporting the colossal black pillar in front of him through space to Li Hai’s location, who was countless tens of thousands of miles away.

However, at almost the exact same moment, Li Hai, who was countless tens of thousands of miles away and had already learned the World's End Divine Ability,

also used the power of this Divine Ability, taking the Evil Monk’s soul characteristics as a beacon, and in the instant before the black pillar arrived, he teleported himself through space to a distant location.

As for the pitch-black columnar object that arrived only after he had left, it exploded violently upon its arrival,

and then, in all directions, it suddenly unleashed a terrifying, all-encompassing gravitational force, like a black hole.

Boom!!!

Dust obscured the sun, and the Universe trembled.

It was as if a god of destruction had descended upon the Human Realm; immense gravitational forces, like the gaping mouths of Devil Kings, devoured the heavens and earth, uprooting mountains and forcing rivers to surge skyward.

Under the terrifying gravitational pull, the vast expanse of land, several square li in area, was like a massive piece of cloth being wantonly flipped, kneaded, and then squeezed and gathered towards its center by hundreds of thousands of invisible hands.

It suddenly rolled, folded, collapsed, shattered, and converged towards the core of all gravity—the black pillar’s original explosion point—with a rumbling sound.

Ultimately, in just one second, this vast expanse of land was compressed by the terrifying gravity into a pure black sphere only a zhang in diameter.

It floated silently above a magnificent giant crater, spanning tens of thousands of miles, as if a Demonic Lord was inspecting his territory.

At this point, the originally boundless earth, all its grandeur and magnificence, was mercilessly kneaded into a small, pitch-black Chaos under the might of a greater force—universal gravity.

Then, another instant passed, and the zhang-sized black sphere, which contained all the matter from several square li of land and was heavy enough to rival a planet, exploded with a roar.

Boom—

For a moment, it seemed as if a second sun had been born in the boundless world.

Infinite light and infinite heat instantly roared and swept out in all directions from that ‘sun’ as its center.

In just an instant, the enormous crater on the ground, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was instantly ‘scorched’ into a scorching, molten, off-white state by the immeasurable light and heat suddenly released by the rapidly expanding ‘sun’ above it.

However, just as this ‘sun,’ which had twice destroyed the giant crater, sought to expand even more magnificently and release all its light and heat across the entire Xia Alliance Martial World and even wider regions,

a much more majestic and immense mysterious power suddenly erupted from somewhere in Da Jing Zhong Jing (Great Jing, Central Capital), tens of thousands of miles away.

Yu Yi. Subsequently, this Unknown power, separated by an extremely vast distance, suddenly suppressed the ‘sun’ located in the Martial World Southern Border from afar.

And in merely one ten-thousandth of a second, this power compressed and cooled it back to its original state—a barren land spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Then the mysterious power vanished into thin air, and this barren land, comparable to the entire surface area of Earth, heavily crashed down.

Boom!!!

While creating a massive earthquake that affected the entire Martial World, this land, recreated by the mysterious power, completely smashed, filled, and covered the scorching giant crater of the same tens of thousands of miles in diameter below it.

At this point, this vast region at the northern end of the Southern Border transformed from a boundless forest into a desolate, barren land.

Meanwhile, the ten Ge Zai of the Wu (Martial) Hall in Da Jing Zhong Jing (Great Jing, Central Capital) of the Great Jing Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away, were greatly astonished by the sudden activation of that power:

“The yu wang town world seal actually activated on its own?!”

“What could be the reason?”

“I don’t know, but the Military Intelligence Division will send intelligence soon.”

“Hmm~ Regardless of the reason, anything that can make the Yu Wang Seal react must be a major event.”

“Could it be—a premonition of Jingzu’s return?”

“Impossible!”

“I believe some power that poses a threat to Great Jing has appeared, which forced the Yu Wang Seal to activate on its own.”

“Hmm~ I agree with your point. Protecting Great Jing is indeed one of the Yu Wang Seal’s missions.”

“In short, let’s closely monitor any potential anomalies that might occur within Great Jing, the Xia Alliance Martial World, and the Southern Barbarian during this period. It’s also a good opportunity to guard against the Black Celestial acting desperately and taking any extreme measures.”

“Mm.”

“Okay.”

“I agree.”

Immediately after remotely teleporting the Universe, the Lotus Continent Evil Monk was stunned into a daze by the sudden appearance of Li Hai.

“You—”

He stared blankly at the smiling Li Hai, bewildered, “You, how could you—”

The Xiao Li Flying Dagger flashed by, hitting and instantly piercing the Evil Monk’s forehead.

Thus, this Lotus Continent Evil Monk, like Lu Qixing, after a series of bewildered, disbelieving, confused, furious, and manic emotions flashing through his eyes, his eyes became lifeless, all vitality drained, and he heavily knelt before Li Hai, completely dead.

At the same instant, the total number of Li Hai’s ‘strongest fragments’ suddenly increased by one, reaching a total of fifty.

Immediately after, his personal interface suddenly trembled.

And with the appearance of this trembling, lines of information abruptly appeared before Li Hai’s eyes:

“Since the Master’s number of ‘strongest fragments’ has reached fifty, this System now officially opens the 【Extracurricular Practice】 project to the Master.”

“In this project, the Master can, after burning ten ‘strongest fragments,’ obtain an opportunity to project and Transmigration to other Universes and timelines.”

“Upon reaching another Universe, the Master’s projection will be unable to carry any skills or characteristics from the main body, and will exist in the world as a blank, Rank zero entity, retaining only the System’s skill learning and upgrading abilities, as well as all ‘strongest fragments.’”

“And in the alternate Universe, the Master’s projection will not be affected by the main body’s Rank when acquiring ‘strongest fragments.’ As for the passage of time in the Universe where the Master’s main body is located, it will enter a state of frozen stagnation after the projection Transmigration.”

“Only when the Master’s projection voluntarily ends the 【Extracurricular Practice】 project and returns to the timeline where the main body is located, will the time flow in the main Universe normalize again.”

“At the same time, when the projection returns to the main Universe, all skills learned by the Master in other timelines, and all ‘strongest fragments’ obtained, will also be fully integrated into the Master’s main body.”

“Finally, since the Master has not yet undertaken any 【Extracurricular Practice】 project, the first projection Transmigration will not consume any ‘strongest fragments.’”

As he busily watched the lines of text information gradually disappear from his sight, Li Hai’s thoughts instantly boiled and surged.
