Chapter 1114: Chapter 1107: The Prison Realm

"So, you’re saying you can kill giant beasts at will?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Correct," Xia Yue confidently nodded, "With the power of a god, killing a giant beast is no different from crushing an ant."

"Then why don’t you kill all the giant beasts in this world? Look, Leviathan has prevented the people of this world from exploring overseas, making them only shrink back onto the Continent," Cheng Ziang inquired.

Upon hearing his words, Xia Yue glanced at him, shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile, "Everything must be prioritized. The masters of this world have always been these giant beasts, not these people. When the Ancestors were flourishing, they did not exterminate the giant beasts. Instead, they pacified them with kindness, making the beasts willingly submit. If you want to Conquer giant beasts, you might consider changing your approach and try the methods once used by the Ancestors."

"I think that this kind of conciliatory policy is useless at the current stage," Cheng Ziang stated bluntly.

"Oh?" Xia Yue looked at him with interest.

"The premise for the Ancestors to use a conciliatory policy was that they had developed a highly advanced civilization, making it hopeless for giant beasts to confront them directly. Therefore, when the Ancestors extended an olive branch, the beasts had no choice but to submit. Now, neither people from Earth nor those from Otherworld have any way to deal with these giant beasts. Talking about conciliation is out of the question. The precondition for the world’s allegiance is its militarization. Otherwise, being too conciliatory will only further embolden the giant beasts, possibly leading to them becoming even more demanding," Cheng Ziang said seriously.

"Interesting," Xia Yue laughed, squinting her eyes in thought before speaking, "However, this method works on Leviathan, but seems a bit redundant for the Scouring Sky. The Scouring Sky is naturally benign; even without the threat of force, they would submit."

"Overturning Beast?" Hearing her words, Cheng Ziang frowned seriously.

"Haven’t you seen the remains?" Xia Yue tilted her head and said.

"Is there really an East Continent?" Cheng Ziang pressed on urgently.

"How would I know? I haven’t controlled the world, you should ask Tana. I’ve been asleep since the Twilight of the Gods. Who knows how many years that was from then till now. The Earth’s crust has moved since, and the original Continent was all connected together. Translating with your terms, it would be the Pangu Continent," Xia Yue said with a shrug.

"Then, why have the people on this Continent barely seen the Overturning Beast?" Cheng Ziang asked, puzzled.

"Maybe the herds migrated, or maybe they went extinct, who knows," Xia Yue stared at her fingertips, paused, and then continued, "The Scouring Sky is one of the oldest giant beasts in this world. During the Ancestor Era, there were probably five to six herds, each led by a female chieftain. The female chieftains birthed all the tribe members and were the core of each tribe. These female chieftains were descended from..."

"What about the primeval chieftain?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Dead," Xia Yue shrugged, then continued, "During the Titan Era, the Titans fought against the Scouring Sky, shot down the primeval chieftain with a dragon bone bow, and tore her body apart. Therefore, the primeval female chieftain’s eyes became the twin moons, her blood flowed into the earth to become rivers and lakes, her skeleton became mountain ranges, and the torn flesh scattered across the earth transformed into birds and beasts..."

"That sounds a lot like the Pangu myth," Cheng Ziang said.

"Heh, can’t help it. In the Primordial Era, the limited records are often described as myths," Xia Yue shook her head and laughed.

"Speaking of the dragon bone bow, does this world also have dragons as a species?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"That was the Titan Era," Xia Yue replied, looking at him, "Doesn’t your Earth have a Dinosaur Era as well?"

"Dinosaurs had no civilization," Cheng Ziang stated.

"So your civilization is far behind that of this world," Xia Yue said.

"However, your world ultimately declined despite its grandeur, leading to our civilization advancing beyond yours," Cheng Ziang countered.

"Indeed," Xia Yue sighed deeply, saying reflectively, "Such a mighty Empire to degrade and be destroyed by the human heart. Desire, desire corrupts the human heart..."

"I have another question," Cheng Ziang looked at the sighing Xia Yue and said.

"Are all you people from Earth this curious?" Xia Yue asked with a slight frown.

"Curiosity is the source of human technological progress," Cheng Ziang stated.

"Hehe," hearing his words, Xia Yue laughed again, shook her head, and said, "Ask away. What else do you want to know?"

"Previously, when we watched the stage play, the Ancestors said that the sky was just a painting. When describing Earth, they also said that Earth has no origin but is surrounded by a starry sky full of hope. Can you explain this sentence?" Cheng Ziang asked seriously.

"Good question," Xia Yue nodded slightly, then counterasked, "Let me ask you a question. In your world, does the cosmos have a boundary?"

"Uh," Cheng Ziang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "According to current scientific theories, the universe does have a boundary; it is just in a state of expansion..."

"So compared to Earth’s volume and the lifespan of its inhabitants, the cosmos is almost infinite?" Xia Yue asked.

"That could be understood," Cheng Ziang nodded and said.

"That means you Earthlings have infinite possibilities," Xia Yue said, then shook her head with a look of melancholy. "This world, too, has its boundaries, except that we can reach the boundaries with just a stretch of our hands. Your universe is still expanding, but this world has been motionless for who knows how many years. Since the Titan Era, the stars have never changed, so the Ancestors never looked up at the starry sky because each time they did, they would feel an overwhelming sense of despair..."

"A prison?" Cheng Ziang asked cautiously.

"Enough, I don’t want to talk about this topic anymore," Xia Yue straightened her expression, then stood up and said, "Now that the barrier has been breached, we should hurry and deal with Tana. It’s for my good and Luo’er’s, too."

"You want to do it now?" Cheng Ziang asked in surprise.

"Yes, right now!" Xia Yue nodded.

"But we are at sea..." Cheng Ziang said, spreading his hands.

Xia Yue didn’t continue, instead she laughed and glanced at him before turning and walking towards the cabin, with Cheng Ziang quickly following after her.

The two made their way to Luo’er’s cabin, where Luo’er sat on the bed talking heart-to-heart with Fulajie’er, with Baiyue and Tangmo also comforting Fulajie’er. Seeing the two enter, Luo’er instinctively stood up.

"Sit down, oh no, lie down. We have passed through the barrier, and I’m going to resolve our conflict with Tana once and for all through you," Xia Yue waved her hand and then moved to the bedside to signal the two girls to make room.

"Resolve it on the ship?" Luo’er asked, puzzled.

Xia Yue didn’t answer, for Cheng Ziang had already asked this question, and she felt too lazy to reply.

"How will you resolve it?" Luo’er tentatively asked.

"I’m going to use the link between you and her to find her whereabouts. Tana knows I left Xia Yue Island and will definitely hide from me, but the world is only so big; she has nowhere to go but to keep fleeing. I don’t want to waste time looking for her everywhere. Through you, I’ll find her directly and then, kill her..." Xia Yue’s last words were laden with a murderous intent.

"You’re going to kill her?" Luo’er asked anxiously.

"Don’t feel pity for that creature; she’s not worth your sympathy. Lie down and place your hand in the palm of mine," Xia Yue commanded as she sat at the head of the bed, extending her hand.

Obediently, Luo’er placed his hand in her palm, and the next second, Xia Yue’s hand instantly transformed into tentacles, piercing Luo’er’s skin and delving into his flesh and bone.

"Luo’er won’t be harmed, right?" Tangmo asked uneasily.

Xia Yue gave her a glance and, unable to help herself, rolled her eyes, and without paying further attention, she commanded Luo’er, "I will count to three, then close your eyes."

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!!"
