Chapter 457: 209: Grand Convergence
"I've only seen this scene in Inception spaces, it's like a city flipping ninety degrees..."
The island was alive.
Ke Zhongye had actually thought of this before.
Watching such a scene now, the massive island on the edge slowly rising like a city wall, the ground also constantly trembling... he was certain Guan Canghai was right.
It was like a massive tsunami roaring toward them, about to sweep over the entire island, only these tsunamis were made of rock...
"It's like two walls constantly closing in, could we be crushed to death?"
The speed at which the islands rolled up was fast, soon after the words of Prophet fell, the three of them, Guan Canghai, Ke Zhongye, and Prophet, felt the ground tilting while they were already at the southwest position.
They neared the edge of the island and were quickly affected by the sudden rolling movement.
Before long, the ground neared a vertical position!
Everyone, like rock climbers, clutched tightly onto the ground with their hands.
Prophet, less composed, was flung out in an instant, the continuously closing rolled-up island, making those at the edges feel like they were falling into an abyss.
But this abyss was definitely deeper than ten thousand feet.
Prophet screamed in alarm, fortunately Ke Zhongye was quick and agile, leveraging the continuously falling huge rocks, getting closer to Prophet in midair.
Just as Prophet fell a good few feet, his regenerated arm snatched Prophet and, using agile movements, returned the way he came.
The massive island rolled up, causing the giant rocks at the edges to fall in a stone rain amidst the trembling.
But for someone like Ke Zhongye, these rocks were just stepping stones in midair.
In a few movements, he brought Prophet to the now vertical ground, his fingers dug into the soil as if climbing with someone.
"We're in trouble... if this island truly stands up, who knows how many will fall into the abyss!"
Jingqi Association, Divine Consort Association, Future Gate... the leaders of these major guilds, of course, cared about their members below.
With many pioneers participating in this summoning, Guan Canghai and Ke Zhongye both couldn't help worrying about their respective association members.
Because from a distance, apart from falling rocks, there were demons, corrupt species, and—pioneers.
Even someone as strong as Ke Zhongye could not save more people in this situation.
Accompanied by countless screams, amidst an endless fall, the island witnessed one of its most brutal deaths.
Ke Zhongye said:
"Now everyone at the edges, probably got flung towards the abyss due to the sudden massive rolling movement..."
"Guan Canghai, you're smart, I can't hold on for too long, I'm damn nearly dead from a fight just now!"
"You tell me quick, what should we do now?"
Guan Canghai, looking at the gradually dispersing thunderclouds in the sky, said:
"It's not just the edge area... other places are also affected, it's another catastrophe, though not at the level of a heavenly tribulation but still a disaster."
"Our options now are, either we rely on the continuously falling rocks or climb using our arm strength and rush to the top."
"Or, we slide down with the momentum, speeding towards the bottom."
"According to the rules, we can't leave the island. If we leave the island before the three days of survival test are up, we will surely die."
"So the first option is really not viable. Because we are not sure, whether reaching the top is equivalent to leaving the island."
"We can only slide down with the momentum, heading to the bottom of the abyss."
Guan Canghai calmly gave his opinion. At the same time, he saw the convergence of the threads of fate.
"Too many fates will intertwine at the bottom, you probably don't have the strength to fight anymore, right?"
"No more, that foreigner was quite tough to kill. If we meet any formidable enemies down there... haha, then I really can't help you. We can only pray that Guang Tongchen and other such capable guys will show their prowess."
The island suddenly rolled up like a scroll, or like a giant beast stretching a great yawn.
Naturally, everyone gathered at the bottom of the scroll. Some, by their own abilities, survived the falling process.
Others had already been smashed into pulp.
Ke Zhongye firmly believed that people like Guang Tongchen would surely survive.
Ke Zhongye, holding the 140-pound Prophet with one hand, let go with the other.
Without a point of support, he plunged rapidly downward.
It was just like skydiving.
Prophet only felt a burst of wind pouring into his mouth, puffing up his chubby face noisily.
Then, Ke Zhongye thundered a punch into the air, using the "recoil" of the punch to once again touch the rolled-up ground.
One fall was a hundred feet, abruptly stopping, the thrill nearly made Prophet vomit.
At this rate, they would soon be able to reach the "scroll's" bottom by continuously cliff jumping.
The futures of all people were falling to one place under the pull of fate.
While Guan Canghai and others were falling, people in other parts of the island experienced the same process.
The moment the ground rolled up, they dropped rapidly, just like riding a drop tower.
However, at some places this wasn't the case.
...
...
At the position of the Heavenly Origin, Karlando also felt the convergence of destiny.
