Simultaneous Transmigration: We Level Up Alone Across Multiple Worlds

Chapter 79 Meeting

Golden light pierced the sky.

King Nathan closed his eyes.

As the light sliced ​​through her body, her consciousness perished before her physical form.

The fifth stage, "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion," is fully unfolded.

Looking down from directly above the island, a straight golden rift appears in the center of Nathan Island, running from the Sacred Grove to the north and south ends, cutting the entire island in two.

The ground on both sides of the crack is turning over outwards, and embedded in the turned-over soil are palace ruins, fragments of the divine tree, and countless broken golden branches.

All the golden branches broke in the golden light—the causal chain between them and the divine tree was severed.

The consciousness of the Divine Tree desperately fled across the Golden Bough Network, leaping from the patterns of King Nathan to the patterns of Elijah, from Elijah to Alfonso, and from Alfonso to every Golden Bough holder scattered throughout the island.

Every destination it leaped over was charred black under the pursuit of the golden light.

Seawater slowly poured in from both ends of the crack, which was wide enough for the seawater on both sides to collide violently in the center, creating a white wall of water.

The two halves of the island sank slowly to the north and south respectively amid violent tremors.

On the deck of the Behemoth fleet, towards the port.

Ron stood at the very front of the flagship's bridge, his walkie-talkie still in his hand.

He had been staring at the direction where the clouds began to glow, from which the azure void was revealed as the clouds were pushed aside.

The entire fleet made an emergency turn from the waters near Nathan Island, with the engines running at full power. Everyone on the deck clung to the railings, looking in the same direction—Nathan Island was being sliced ​​apart along its central axis by a force they couldn't comprehend.

The market direction — the market no longer exists.

The shockwave from the blade as it grazed the east side of the market blew away wooden signs, stone house walls, and abandoned shipping containers.

Several lone individuals and strange beings who remained in the market lay on the ground, feeling the vibrations beneath them gradually subside from intense to steady, and then from steady to soft.

The ground is tilted.

Someone stood up and saw that the entire area in the direction of Saint Forest had disappeared, replaced by a widening fissure filled with churning seawater.

The sacred tree is gone.

The light from the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion began to fade.

Chen Chen hung suspended in the air. The hem of his jacket was still fluttering in the sea breeze, his right hand hung at his side, and the lingering warmth of the Five Elements on his fingers was slowly dissipating.

The sacred tree has completely disappeared, leaving not a trace.

All that remained beneath their feet was the cracked island and the floodwaters, along with the trails of several Behemoth ships speeding away in the distance.

Chen Chen instantly traveled thousands of miles in his mind and left this place.

The phone screen lit up briefly.

Zhang Chulan leaned over the sofa and swiped his finger across the screen to unlock it.

The message Xu San sent was very short, only one line long.

Nathan Island sank, and there were no survivors.

The only sound in the living room was the hum of the refrigerator compressor; it was already completely dark outside.

Zhang Chulan immediately thought of his meeting with Chen Chen two days ago.

In the teahouse, the man said he would handle the matter on Nathan Island.

Two days later, Nathan Island disappeared from the map.

The timing is too coincidental —

Could it be that only a few days have passed? How could an extraordinary person possess such overwhelming power?

Zhang Chulan suddenly remembered that Xu Si had sent him the documents after Chen Chen's interrogation.

I picked up my phone again and pulled out the report.

After interrogation, he disappeared without a trace. Subsequent investigations revealed that a witness to Chen Chen was found on Mount Everest.

Even though the weather was quite hot, Zhang Chulan felt incredibly cold inside, and he almost dropped his phone after looking at it.

Yang Shen —

Is this really that weird?

Zhang Chulan kept having the same thought running through his mind: if that person was the one who did it, he didn't have the guts to accuse someone who could split an island in two.

If it wasn't him, everything would be fine.

To be honest, I prefer the former.

Zhang Chulan's mind was in complete turmoil, and his phone screen gradually went dark.

Just as Zhang Chulan was still thinking, a phone call came in.

A string of unfamiliar numbers popped up on the screen, and Zhang Chulan hesitated for a moment on the answer button.

He pressed the answer button.

"Nathan Island is gone."

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm. Zhang Chulan recognized the voice; two days ago in the teahouse, the same person had said the same thing in the same tone.

"Can Feng Baobao be brought over to meet us now?"

2

Zhang Chulan's face instantly turned gloomy, and his grip on his phone made a creaking sound.

I did it. I know you know I did it, and I know you don't have the guts to tell anyone.

"Give me some time to make arrangements," Zhang Chulan said, his tone softening.

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Feng Baobao is in the next room; she should be sleeping.

This is a rest stop arranged by Xu San and Xu Si, so that they can detect if something happens to me immediately.

Being able to detect something is one thing; having enough time to do something is another.

But that's not the only reason he chose this place.

Lu Linglong has been staying with Feng Baobao for the past two days, and the two are sleeping in the same room.

Lu Lin was upstairs, and Zhang Lingyu was sleeping on the folding bed in the living room. He couldn't concern himself with the old accounts of the Lu family, but with the Lu siblings and the old master's disciple, those layers of identities combined meant that even if someone wanted to turn against him, they would have to think twice.

It's a last resort.

After thinking it over, I picked up my phone and sent the address and time to the unknown number.

After sending the message, he placed his phone screen face down on the map and turned to walk towards Feng Baobao's room.

The door wasn't closed properly.

Feng Baobao was wrapped in a thin blanket, her breathing so soft it was almost inaudible.

Zhang Chulan knocked twice on the door frame. She opened her eyes and sat up, her hair sliding down one shoulder.

Someone is coming tomorrow.

Feng Baobao tilted her head. "Oh. You're here, so what did you call me for?"

Zhang Chulan immediately realized what was happening.

I was too nervous and didn't answer the question.

"Tomorrow night, you don't have to do anything at the villa."

"oh."

Feng Baobao lay back down and pulled the blanket under her chin.

"I'm going to sleep now."

The next day, the unfinished villa.

Zhang Chulan stood at the first-floor window and looked out.

Lu Lin kept glancing at Feng Baobao, who was reading a book, from the stairwell, while Zhang Lingyu sat on the folding bed flipping through an old book.

Lu Linglong was still lingering in Feng Baobao's room.

Footsteps sounded at the door.

Zhang Chulan's fingers tightened on the phone case.

The door wasn't locked.

Chen Chen pushed open the door slowly, his dark blue jacket shimmering in the light at the doorway. After entering, he glanced around the first floor before his gaze settled on Zhang Chulan. He nodded slightly as a greeting.

The room door opened.

Lu Linglong came out, and Feng Baobao was still wearing the same short-sleeved shirt as yesterday, her hair casually tied up. She narrowed her eyes when she saw Chen Chen.

Chen Chen took out the Devouring Pouch from his waist and pressed his fingertip on the pouch shell.

With a flash of runes, Li Muxuan lay unconscious on the ground, his gray hair stuck to his forehead, his chest rising and falling slowly.

Lu Linglong looked at the old man on the ground.

"So you really did it?!"
