Section 195

One minute later!

The number of Mutated Coral in this patch of seawater was already completely uncountable.

In fact, in a unit of volume... the number of Mutated Coral was even greater than the water itself.

Quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change!

Therefore!

The scene that had just shocked the world occurred—

Surging waves composed of countless Mutated Coral crashed against the edge of the island!

Within a few seconds, they bred, divided, grew, and died...

By the time the waves receded... they had already turned into hard coral rock and merged with the island!

And the descendants of these Mutated Coral... would form a new "rear wave"!

Crashing against the edge of the island once more! Dying once more! Turning into hard coral rock!

Merging with this island and those already formed coral rocks!

Becoming a part of the island! Becoming a glorious part! Becoming a part of the beautiful rivers and mountains, the distant territorial waters, and the sacred territory of the Dragon Kingdom!

This scene of wave after wave of sacrifice... left all Dragon Kingdom netizens shocked! Moved! Touched!

Just like that... under the eyes of 1.4 billion people!

This island, which was originally on the verge of sinking... was actually expanding outwards, circle by circle, at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Black coral rock spread outwards and solidified layer by layer!

In the blink of an eye... the entire area of the island had doubled, becoming as large as two football fields!

And this process of expansion did not stop!

As the Mutated Coral continued to breed, grow, and die... the area of the island continued to expand.

The netizens' eyes were wide with shock! Stupefied!

After they recovered from this miracle... they flocked to the bullet comments to speak! Venting their shock and amazement—

"Oh my god, a miracle has happened! A miracle! What on earth just happened? Why was the sea so calm just a moment ago... but in the blink of an eye! The entire sea surface turned red! And wave after wave of Mutated Coral crashed ashore, died, and hardened into coral rock... In just a few short minutes! The entire island has expanded by a huge circle!"

"This is a process where quantitative change leads to qualitative change... Lin Xian also said before that Mutated Coral in fresh water are completely dormant and will not grow or reproduce... Only after coming into contact with a seawater environment will they reproduce crazily! So... the reason it was so calm at the beginning was because the Mutated Coral hadn't reached a certain number yet, so naturally, no changes could be seen. But now it's different! The crazy iteration of the Mutated Coral has begun!"

"Terrifying! I didn't expect that Lin Xian could even move mountains and fill seas, and reclaim land from the ocean! And the method... is as simple and brutal as always. Now I am really watching Lin Xian's live stream on my knees... I truly cannot imagine! What kind of genius mind... could come up with this god-level idea of using coral rock to expand the island's area! It's simply amazing! Lin Xian is truly the GOAT! The eternal god!"

"Too awesome! It's really too awesome! Although I have always believed that Lin Xian is omnipotent... but! But when I witnessed this island slowly growing bigger with my own eyes... I was still too shocked to speak! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes... I would have thought this was a movie special effect, a fake computer production! After all... even reclaiming land from the sea is a slow geological process! But this trick of Lin Xian's... is just like magic!"

"The principle of Lin Xian's Mutated Coral land reclamation is actually shortening the thousands of years of coral evolution into just a few minutes! Coral islands like Hawaii took hundreds of millions of years to form... but here with Lin Xian, everything is accelerated! Look! In the time we've been discussing... the area of this island has already expanded five or six times, and it will soon return to its size from eighty years ago."

...

The constantly surging red waves! Still dyed this patch of ocean a bright red!

But at this moment... these bright red colors didn't make people feel the slightest bit of fear!

This was not the bright red of death... This was the bright red symbolizing hope and rebirth.

This was the morning sun! This was the homeland! This was the lost time and the pride of the nation.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha! Hahahaha, my land, oh my land... Our territory has returned!"

At this moment... Island Keeper Grandpa, who had guarded the island for over eighty years... suddenly burst into tears!

Recalling the glorious years of the past...

When he first boarded this deserted island with his parents, he was only seven or eight years old.

At that time, this island was even larger than it is now...

For a seven or eight-year-old child, this was a happy, big world!

From then on... he stayed here to live. Once he stayed, it was for a lifetime!

His life as an Island Defender was dutiful and responsible! He guarded this precious 12-nautical-mile territory for the motherland!

But... all these years, whenever he saw a rock washed away by the waves, a handful of soil dissolve into the ocean, or a low-lying area submerged by seawater...

He always felt heartbroken! Heartbroken by the loss of this territory!

He started to worry—

[If one day... this island is just submerged by the seawater! And ceases to exist in this world...]

[Wouldn't this territory of 12 nautical miles that originally belonged to the Dragon Kingdom... become international waters according to international conventions!?]

The loss of territory... made him feel far more afraid and miserable than death!

But now! All worries and concerns were gone!

"Hahahaha! My island is back! The island I lost is back, hahahaha!"

At this moment, Island Keeper Grandpa seemed to have regained his youth! He was decades younger!

He ran happily on this island that had expanded more than tenfold!

It's so big! It's been a long time since he could run so unreservedly!

This was the area the island had lost over the past hundred years... Now! It had all returned.

So big! Really so big!

Island Keeper Grandpa was in tears... but he still couldn't stop his running pace!

Facing the sea breeze! Running! Running!

The island that used to end after just a few steps... now, even if he ran until he was exhausted, he couldn't reach the edge.

As the red waves continued to crash against the shore! The island was still expanding circle by circle at the same speed!

It was as if... it would never end!

A dozen football fields! Thirty football fields! Sixty football fields!
