Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Under Hank's command, dozens of new recruits, carrying krogos, split into seven teams and headed toward the seven reservoirs in the capital of Yongyao.

They acted quickly and soon completed the distribution of the krogol.

That evening, residents who were taking water at different times were surprised to find that the water was not only exceptionally sweet, but also had a wonderful taste they had never experienced before.

After just a few sips, their hungry stomachs surprisingly felt full, something they hadn't experienced in a long time.

This discovery shook the residents of the capital, who turned their gazes toward the guarded reservoir with great interest.

However, the situation in the Holy Gold World was already terrible. Under such difficult circumstances, no one had any bad intentions, or rather, even if they did, no one had the ability to carry them out under such cruel survival pressure.

For three days in a row, the residents of the capital were in a state of unprecedented happiness.

During these three days, they did not have to bear the pressure of survival, did not have to go out of the city to find food, and did not have to endure hunger that could drive people crazy. All they needed to do was drink water on time.

When that dim star reappeared above the gray sky of the Holy Golden World, all the residents, following the instructions they had received the night before, left their homes in droves and gathered in the Holy Golden Square in the center of this glorious capital.

If viewed from above, one can see countless residents, families in tow, moving like migrating ants, like black streams, heading towards their "sea" from every corner of the city.

As the stars in the sky slowly moved to the very top of the sky, Hank stood expressionless before the statue tens of meters high in the center of St. Kim's Square.

His body was still thin, and his face was still old, but he just stood there quietly, and automatically became the center of everyone's attention.

The Knights of Eternal Glory represent the last glory of the Holy Golden Empire, and the one-armed, one-eyed man standing before the statue represents the last glory of the Knights of Eternal Glory.

Hank stood before the statue, whose base was three meters high. From there, he could see countless heads thronging below, a vast, dark mass stretching all the way to the end of the square.

These people are the last humans remaining in the Holy Gold World.

Without letting his thoughts wander, Hank circulated his battle aura, and golden battle aura bloomed from his body, like a torch that had been extinguished for many years but had been rekindled.

The Holy Golden World is about to collapse. The energy between heaven and earth has completely dissipated more than ten years ago. What followed was the withering of plants and the extinction of life. Battle Qi, which requires both energy and the essence of flesh and blood to replenish itself, naturally disappeared as well.

But now, golden battle aura was actually burning on Hank's body, a scene that was extremely unbelievable to everyone present.

Before the tremors had subsided, Hank's booming voice rang out:

"The last citizens of the Holy Golden Empire, as the sun sets today, we will leave Holy Golden and head to our new home."

The bustling St. Golden Square suddenly fell silent. Although St. Golden Square covers a huge area and was advertised as being able to accommodate 200,000 people when it was built, there were not 200,000 people crammed here, but a full 600,000.

Even though they refrained from speaking, the sounds of their breathing, the rustling of their clothes, and their footsteps still created quite a bit of noise in the square.

But now, as Hank finished speaking, the vast St. King Square suddenly fell into absolute silence.

Everyone strained to see the figure beneath the statue, trying to find reassuring answers in his aged face.

Hank sensed their suppressed emotions, so he took a deep breath, mustered his fighting spirit again, and tried his best to make his voice even louder:
"That's right, you heard me correctly. As the sun sets today, all of us will leave this home that has nurtured our ancestors and countless generations, and head to a brand new and beautiful new home!"

With the aura amplified, Hank's voice carried far and wide through the air.

Heavy breathing slowly rose from the square, and countless burning gazes fell upon Hank. Hank stood ramrod straight, and hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed on him, heavier than mountains and deeper than the ocean.

But his body didn't bend at all, and he just endured everyone's gaze.

His gesture made it clear to the people standing in the square that his words were not false, and that they really could leave their crumbling home!

A suppressed cheer rose from a corner of the square, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, rippling through the crowd.

Ripples spread, and cheers rang out one after another, spreading throughout the entire square in a very short time. The previously suppressed cheers were now like a tsunami.

Hank stood in front of the statue, his one eye slightly moist.

No one expected this day to happen, but it did happen on an ordinary afternoon.

After taking several deep breaths, Hank spoke again: "Everyone, please wait here quietly. If anyone is not here, please remind them if you know them."

We will all be leaving before sunset today, and I don't want anyone to be left behind.

Hank's words were carried out with the utmost steadfastness.

Within minutes, St. John's Square quickly quieted down.

Time ticked by, and amidst the anticipation of hundreds of thousands of residents, the sun was finally about to set below the horizon.

As the sun slowly set, everyone involuntarily held their breath and stood up to look at where Hank was.

Beneath the statue, besides Hank, stands a tall young man.

That young man was like a star hanging high in the night sky; he captivated everyone's attention with just one glance.

Because he was completely different from them, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament and attire.

The other person was tall and muscular, with short black hair that shimmered with an orange-red glow in the afterglow of the setting sun. His skin was healthy and fair, without a single crack, making him look completely different from the people struggling on the edge of life and death.

"Lord Li, it's almost time."

Hank looked at Gao Yang beside him, his single eye filled with anticipation.

He didn't know how Gao Yang planned to take them out of the Holy Gold World, nor did he know if Gao Yang had the ability, but he believed that the other party could do it, just as their leader had believed in him without hesitation back then.

Gao Yang looked up at the setting sun, then at the sea of ​​people in front of him, and nodded.

Then, he raised his left hand, and a hazy starlight bloomed and rose from his left arm.

Hank was thrilled to see this. Soon, the people of the empire would be able to go to a brand new home and start a new life.

He was also able to fulfill the last wishes of Commander Yegorlit and his other comrades, leading the remaining people to start a new life in their new homeland.

woo~~~
A long, drawn-out whale call interrupted Hank's thoughts. He looked up abruptly and saw a giant whale, hundreds of meters long, appearing in the sky above the square.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, its body shimmered with starlight, appearing incredibly sacred and noble.

Then, Hank saw that after Gao Yang snapped his fingers, the huge whale, which was a hundred meters long, let out a short cry.

Immediately afterwards, the world went dark!
Hank stared in horror at the ceiling, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He could still see the enormous whale, yet he couldn't anymore. Looking up, all he could see was a white sky—was it dawn?
No, that's just the fat-headed Kunkun's white belly.

In St. Kim Square, the residents waiting there all looked up at the white sky, their expressions exactly the same as Hank's.

Even in the legends of the Holy Gold World, there has never been a creature larger than a city. But in the final moments before the Holy Gold World collapsed, these survivors of the Holy Gold World witnessed such a massive creature with their own eyes.

"Is this a god's mount?"

Someone murmured.

Under the watchful eyes of countless residents, the chubby-headed Kun Kun wiggled its fins, and its enormous body flew upwards slightly, adjusting its posture to a head-down position.

Then, under the horrified gazes of countless people, its enormous mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing the world, slowly opened.

"!!"

Hank's brow twitched wildly as he stared at the slowly opening, abyss-like maw. It was impossible for him not to feel worried.

He turned to look at Gao Yang, and seeing that his expression had not changed at all, he felt a little more at ease.

However, chaos inevitably broke out in the square as the chubby Kunkun opened its massive maw towards the remnants of the Holy Gold World, seemingly ready to devour everything in its path.

Some people fled uncontrollably, some sat on the ground with their legs weak, and some mothers held their children tightly in their arms, trembling.

An endless suction force emanated from the giant mouth, and everyone on Saint Golden Square was swept away by this force without any resistance, sinking into the abyss-like maw.

In just a few seconds, the once extremely crowded Saint Gold Square was instantly cleared out, and even the Nightmare Beasts and other animals that were kept in captivity were swallowed whole by Fathead Kunkun.

An immense fear arose in the hearts of countless people, but it was extinguished in an instant by the scene that suddenly appeared before them.

Hank stood on the ground, looking around in astonishment.

He had thought that after being swallowed by that giant beast, they would end up in its stomach. Who knew they would end up on such a flat grassland, with endless starlight hanging down overhead and a gentle breeze making the grassland ripple like water.

This kind of scene is something that neither Hank nor any other resident of Saint Gold has ever seen before.

Since the Holy Gold Plane was invaded, the gradually decaying plane has never seen such a vibrant scene again.

Hank looked around and suddenly realized that Gao Yang was not there.

Immediately afterwards, a huge light screen appeared above everyone's heads, displaying the dilapidated state of the Holy Golden World.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Gold Remnants, who were inside the Fathead Kunkun's body, discovered that they were rising; to be precise, the giant beast that had swallowed them was flying upwards.

The sky drew ever closer, and the surrounding scenery transformed into streaks of light that rushed past, causing everyone to involuntarily hold their breath.

Gao Yang sat cross-legged on top of the fat-headed Kun Kun, looking calmly ahead.

When he took all the remnants of the Holy Gold into Fatty Kunkun's body space, the consciousness of the Holy Gold world plane, which he had not felt since returning to the Holy Gold, finally took the initiative to establish a connection with him.

With the medium of the blazing furnace, this connection is easily established.

The exchange of consciousness was extremely rapid. In a short time, Gao Yang understood why the consciousness of the Holy Gold World plane had never contacted him.

The other party has used all its power to maintain the stability of the plane, and has not a single bit of power left to contact him.

This contact signifies that the Holy Golden World can no longer sustain itself and is about to collapse.

The connection between the two-dimensional consciousnesses was very brief. After explaining everything, the two-dimensional consciousnesses of the Holy Gold World proactively severed their link with Gao Yang.

The next moment, a notification from the integrated network refreshed before Gao Yang's eyes:

"Network notification: You have received the blessing of the consciousness of the Holy Golden Continent. You have become more fortunate. Your luck +1."

"Network notification: You have received a gift from the consciousness of the Holy Golden Continent. Your destiny weight has increased by 3.052%. Current destiny weight: 5.583%."

"Network notification: You have been entrusted by the consciousness of the Holy Golden Continent. Your unique specialty, the Solar Furnace, has been given an opportunity for improvement."

The three tips are all quite important, each one more so than the last.

Gao Yang knew very well that luck was a hidden attribute of each person. Even the comprehensive network would not concretize it with data. In most cases, it was predetermined by birth.

The luckiest person Gao Yang ever met was none other than the incredibly lucky boy, Candrus, whom he encountered during the Goddess of Fortune's event.

That somewhat timid boy truly showed Gao Yang what luck was; everything he did was accomplished in unbelievable ways.

Even if someone is just walking aimlessly, they might find some rare items.

Fathead Kunkun was the first one that Candrus got; Candrus simply gave it to him.

The blessing from the consciousness of the Holy Gold World plane actually increased his luck attribute by a little. Without even thinking, one can guess that this must have consumed a huge amount of the other party's energy.

In addition, fate plays an even more important role.

In the last Holy Golden World, Gao Yang received a gift from the Holy Golden World. That time, his fate weight only increased by a little over 1%, but this time it increased by a full 3%.

Gao Yang still hasn't found the answer to what the weight of fate is from the comprehensive network, but after experiencing so much, he has his own explanation of this concept.

In his understanding, the concept of fate weight is almost identical to the concept of energy level.

In certain judgments involving fate, the one with the higher weight has a greater advantage, or rather, an absolute advantage.

For example, his mastery of the speed of fate and his talent for making choices are both related to fate.

The higher the weight of fate, the more accurate Gao Yang's talent will be, and the less likely the trigger of Fate Swiftness will be interrupted.

The speed of fate is not uninterrupted, a fact Gao Yang was well aware of, as some had already discovered this anomaly in previous battles.

However, merely discovering it does not prevent the process from happening.

If there were a powerful expert who was proficient in the realm of destiny, it might be possible to detect Gao Yang's actions and forcibly interrupt the triggering of Fate Speed. In that case, it would be equivalent to directly annihilating his soul consciousness.

Of all Gao Yang's experiences, he only gained "fate weight" in the Holy Gold World.

He didn't know if the Holy Golden World was too special, or for some other reason, but this gift was impossible to refuse, and he simply couldn't refuse it. (End of Chapter)
