189: Chapter 186 Self-Examination and Discussion

On the surface of the sea, Yang Hang withdrew that hand.

The five fingers were slender and clearly articulated, no different from the hand used for scratching, grabbing things, or writing before his Transmigration.

But the moment this hand opened just now, the lives and deaths of millions were flipped between his fingers.

All the effects caused by the terrifying sea disaster he had accidentally triggered had been forcibly erased by him.

At this moment, the sea surface below him was calm, with a gentle breeze blowing; looking out into the distance, countless Houseboats, just as they were before, were peacefully scattered upon it.

It was as if that terrifying sea disaster just now was merely an illusion.

Countless Survivors who had experienced death and rebirth in just a few seconds were still in a state of confusion and daze from being resurrected.

The sea surface had returned to calm.

The afterglow of the twin suns stretched his shadow out long, casting it onto the mirror-like calm water below.

Yang Hang was silent for a long time.

It was not guilt.

He had already restored those foreign civilizations, every single one of them. The cost was that the Power of Causality had indeed been consumed quite a bit this time, but it was still within an acceptable range.

It was not excitement either. He felt no thrill of being a Dominator of all living things with a snap of his fingers.

It was just a very strange… examination.

Like a teenager who sees himself in the mirror for the first time and discovers he has grown a beard. Not panic, not joy, just the realization—Oh, it seems I have truly changed.

On the decks of a few Houseboats below, several foreign civilization Survivors were frantically taking screenshots of him. The virtual projection of the life ring was flickering non-stop at their wrists.

Yang Hang didn't even glance at them.

He turned around, his figure submerging into the sea like a stream of light, disappearing without a sound.

Tens of thousands of meters deep on the seabed.

The continental shelf that had been half-swallowed by him was waiting quietly. Seawater surged frantically into the cross-section, forming an underwater waterfall thousands of kilometers long, as spectacular as a wound of the world.

Yang Hang had returned.

This time, he first unleashed the Power of Causality.

The invisible Power of Causality acted like a transparent film, precisely covering the seawater thirty thousand meters above the work area. It was not a barrier, but a buffer—whenever any violent water flow changes were transmitted to this film, they would be softened, dispersed, and dissipated into nothingness.

The lesson from last time was enough.

After confirming the protection was effective, Yang Hang restarted the space division.

The devouring continued.

Chunks of continental plates, three thousand meters thick, were stripped from the seabed and collected into his independent space. The speed was faster than last time—no worries, no distractions, purely mechanized work.

Every moment, tens of thousands of square kilometers of the seabed disappeared.

The seabed was still shaking, tornadoes were still churning in the deep sea, and countless sea beasts were fleeing in panic. But all of this was locked below thirty thousand meters. Above the sea surface, it was calm and tranquil.

Half an hour later.

The moment the last plate was collected into his space, Yang Hang's Divine Sense perceived beneath his feet—a giant cavity with a diameter of millions of kilometers and a depth of three thousand meters.

Seawater was frantically rushing in from all directions to fill it, forming an unprecedented group of deep-sea whirlpools.

But that had nothing to do with him anymore.

Yang Hang flashed and disappeared from the spot.

In the time after Yang Hang disappeared from the sea surface, the Fate Platform was ignited by the discussion posts of the Survivors from the visitor system of the foreign civilizations in this area.

At this moment, almost all the foreign civilization Survivors who had experienced this disaster were sparing no karma points to post, frantically announcing their own crazy and miraculous experiences to share with everyone.

At first, these discussions were limited to the Survivors who had personally experienced it, discussing excitedly. Other foreign civilization Survivors and the Yanhuang Civilization Survivors who saw these posts only felt it was strange, thinking it was just a common natural disaster on the Magic Sea; was it necessary to discuss it so excitedly?

And what… strange phrases like "feeling like I died once and came back to life," "seeing with my own eyes that others came back to life," left people confused.

When asking these people questions, most were vague, only repeatedly replying that they had died and come back to life.

A few people bluntly stated that they seemed to have experienced a miracle.

But they couldn't explain what this miracle was.

Later, more and more foreign civilization Survivors participated in this discussion.

Everyone suddenly realized that this sea disaster, which some foreign civilization Survivors initially thought was just an ordinary Magic Sea natural disaster...

The scope was actually large enough to cover several civilizations and involve tens of millions of people.

Everyone was suddenly no longer calm; it was clearly a Magic Sea disaster of unprecedented scale.

Countless affected Survivors repeatedly stated that they had fallen into the sea disaster, into darkness, and thought they were surely going to die.

Yet, after losing consciousness for an unknown amount of time, they had returned to their state before being swallowed by the sea disaster, completely intact…

This fantastical experience was not an isolated case, but something almost all affected people had…

The refresh rate of posts in the Fate Platform Symphony Realm had increased sixfold in the past half hour.

This sudden sea disaster that occurred in the waters bordering several civilizations and affected tens of millions of Survivors was exploding in the consciousness of all online users at a geometric rate of spread.

The discussion was completely out of control.

[Eating Melon and Not Fearing a Big Scene (Yanhuang Civilization): Brothers, isn't this scene too big??? Tens of millions of people affected??? Except for the first two beast tides, I really haven't encountered this kind of spectacle! And that terrifying tsunami, just hearing about it scares me!]

[Clare Stanley (Stars and Stripes): I am one of the affected people. I was fishing at a fishing spot when the sea surface suddenly started shaking violently, and then I saw a water wall hundreds of meters high pressing towards me from the distance. I didn't have time to do anything. Then it was darkness. When I regained consciousness, I was lying on an intact deck, my clothes were dry, and the fishing rod was still on the rod holder. Even the fish was still on the line.]

[Shocking My Whole Family (Yanhuang Civilization): Clothes are dry??? Fish is still there??? Are you sure you didn't have a dream? Or was the tsunami a dream?]

[Clare Stanley (Stars and Stripes): I also wish it were a dream. But the people on the three boats next to me all had the same experience. I saw with my own eyes that one person's boat was smashed by the tsunami, and the person sank too. As a result, after the sea surface returned to calm, his boat was floating intact on the water, and he was also coughing up water on the deck, perfectly fine.]

[Storm Eye (Yanhuang Civilization): Good heavens, I have goosebumps just reading their descriptions. What is this situation? Mass hallucination?]

[Iron-Faced Ruthless (Yanhuang Civilization): It's not a hallucination. Look at the discussion area, tens of thousands of people are simultaneously describing the exact same experience—died and came back to life, things destroyed and restored. It's impossible for tens of thousands of people to have the same dream at the same time.]

[Dont Panic Let Me Analyze (Yanhuang Civilization): I carefully looked at the posts of these affected Survivors, and there are several common characteristics. First, the time of the disaster is highly unified, concentrated about forty minutes ago. Second, the disaster area is concentrated in the waters bordering several major foreign civilization camps. Third, everyone experienced the process of "death-darkness-complete restoration." Fourth, the state after recovery returned completely to before the disaster occurred, including items, Houseboats, and physical condition.]

[Dont Panic Let Me Analyze (Yanhuang Civilization): This is not an ordinary disaster. An ordinary disaster would not resurrect dead people. And it certainly wouldn't piece broken boats back together.]

This analysis post was liked by hundreds of thousands of people within three seconds. Immediately after, the topic started to veer in another direction.
