There were too many attribute bubbles. Wang Teng couldn't take them all in. He couldn't … pick them all up!
Damn it, I can't pick them all up!
You dare to think about it?
This was his first time encountering such a large number of attribute bubbles. Even when he was at Jixin Martial House, Huanghai Military Academy, and Yang City Academy, he didn't encounter so many attribute bubbles at once.
One could only imagine how many attribute bubbles were waiting for him to pick up now.
Just thinking about it made him feel hopeless. Too many attribute bubbles had … disappeared without him noticing!
This was too cruel!
They were right in front of him, but sometimes, they would disappear just a second or two away. They would disappear completely as if they had never existed in this world.
The empty space where the bubbles used to be was like an expressionless face mocking him mercilessly …
Can't pick them up, can't pick them up, you just can't pick them up!
Hahaha (sticking out tongue) ~
Wang Teng could only pick up faster and faster. He tried his best to pick up the bigger and darker attribute bubbles first.
According to the system's nature, the bigger the bubble, the more there were. The darker the bubble, the higher the level of the item.
Wang Teng focused on picking them up. He activated his spiritual power to the maximum and scanned the entire area without any blind spots.
He would pick them all up first and count them when he got back.
The battle below ended very quickly. Reinforcements arrived. Coupled with the addition of the warlords who were known as the meat grinders on the battlefield, the battle was almost one-sided. The dark apparitions were quickly wiped out.
Looking around, the inside and outside of Yang City was devastated.
The victory of the war should have been celebrated, but there were no loud cheers. Everyone was silent in a sorrowful and heavy atmosphere.
Too many people had died. More than 60% of Yang City's martial artists had died in this war!
Many martial artists were exhausted and covered in wounds. They knelt on the battlefield and cried bitterly …
As the war ended, the elderly, women, and children who were hiding in the shelters walked out. They looked at their almost ruined homes in disbelief. Tears filled their eyes and flowed down their cheeks.
The blood on the ground and the corpses everywhere stung their eyes. They searched for their loved ones like crazy.
The lucky ones were still alive.
The unlucky ones could only hug the corpses of their loved ones and cry bitterly!
In an instant, cries and wails reverberated.
Although they had won the war, their loved ones would never return. How sorrowful was that!
Wang Teng stood on the city wall.
Beside him were Lord Yang, Shen Tuxiong, Tantai Xuan, and the others. Their expressions didn't change when they saw this scene. However, if one looked closely, they would be able to see the unconcealable fluctuations in their eyes.
It was obvious that even as a general-level powerhouse who had experienced more than one such tragic battle and was used to seeing life and death, he could not remain indifferent.
Life is worthy of respect!
Wang Teng was deeply moved. Was this war? All the martial artists were facing such a situation. They were facing danger and death at all times.
Not only for themselves, but also for their parents, wives, and children!
In other words, it was for the sake of the entire race!
Perhaps at this moment, Wang Teng finally understood the meaning behind the word 'martial artist'.
Martial artists were not only powerful existences, but they were also the sturdiest shield and sharpest spear of the entire race.
As long as this shield didn't shatter, as long as this spear didn't break, the entire race would be able to live and work in peace!
Martial artists were strong!
Looking at the absent-minded Wang Teng, Tantai Xuan asked softly, "What are you thinking?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what would happen if such a large-scale invasion of dark apparitions occurred on Earth?" Wang Teng asked.
He thought about many things. Since the dark apparitions had invaded the Xingwu Continent, there was no reason why the same would happen on Earth. He thought about the large number of martial artists from Earth who were stationed in the Other World all year round. The Xingwu Continent even chose to coexist peacefully with Earth. A large part of the reason must be to resist the dark apparitions together.
"Not for the time being," Tantai Xuan said.
"Only for the time being," Wang Teng naturally understood the meaning behind Tantai Xuan's words. He asked, "How much time do we have?"
Tantai Xuan couldn't help but look at Wang Teng in surprise. She didn't expect him to think of the main point so quickly. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Between two to three years."
She paused for a moment before continuing.
"When that time comes, Earth's situation might be worse than the Xingwu Continent's. After all, we haven't had a revolution for long. We don't have as deep a foundation as the Xingwu Continent!"
"Time is so tight!" Wang Teng took a deep breath. He suddenly felt a chill wrap around his body. He couldn't help but clench his fists. "Why is this happening?"
Tantai Xuan hesitated again.
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng suddenly said, "Tell him. Since he has already seen such a situation and his strength isn't low, it won't be long before he comes into contact with these things. It's better to tell him early so that he can be mentally prepared."
Tantai Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Xiao Nanfeng.
"Why are you looking at me? If it weren't for the fact that we're from the same race on Earth, do you think I would remind you of these things?" Xiao Nanfeng couldn't maintain his composure. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Tantai Xuan curled her lips, organized her words, and said to Wang Teng, "It's because of the spatial rifts. According to our research, more and more spatial rifts have appeared on Earth in recent years, and the frequency has also increased. Currently, these spatial rifts are only connected to the Xingwu Continent. At the same time, for some reason, the Xingwu Continent can't reach Earth through the spatial rifts."
"That's why the dark races can't indirectly invade our world on a large scale through the Xingwu Continent. However, once the number of spatial rifts on Earth reaches a certain level, the space on Earth will become extremely fragile. At that time, the dark apparitions will definitely take advantage of this weakness to invade."
Wang Teng's expression turned serious. His heart was heavy as he asked again, "Why can't the people of the Xingwu Continent reach Earth through the spatial rifts? This question has been bothering me. "
"Some people say that it's … rejection from the world's consciousness!" Tantai Xuan hesitated again and said slowly.
"Rejection from the world's consciousness?!" Wang Teng was a little stunned.
This thought had appeared in his mind before, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was very absurd. Now that he heard this from Tantai Xuan, Wang Teng really didn't know what expression to make.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" he asked.
"This is the opinion of countless experts and professors who study spatial theory. How am I supposed to ask if you're asking me?" Tantai Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said in a bad mood.
"Alright, what the experts and professors said isn't unreasonable." Wang Teng shrugged and said half-jokingly, "If that's the case, Earth Star's mother is buying time for us poor children!"
Tantai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a complicated expression, "That's quite appropriate!"
Wang Teng asked again, "Speaking of which, have those experts and professors found the reason for the spatial rifts' appearance?"
"Collision of worlds!" Tantai Xuan spat out these four words and explained, "More than thirty years ago, a world collided with Earth Star and wanted to merge with Earth Star. This world is the Xingwu Continent, and because of this, it caused the changes on Earth Star, and the martial arts era has arrived."
Wang Teng finally understood the cause and effect today. What little was left of his worldview was finally completely shattered. "Collision, fusion!"
