Chapter 724 6: Di Jun's Remains
Ever since Di Jun's death, the area around the Mountain and Sea Realm has returned to a state of tranquility.
However, strangely, even with Di Jun's death, the abnormal temperature in the Mountain and Sea Realm and surrounding worlds hasn't decreased.
Initially, the Mountain and Sea Civilization thought it was the lingering effects of Di Jun's death that hadn't fully dissipated.
After some time, they expected that this abnormal high temperature would decrease.
Yet, after several hard years passed.
Although the overall temperature of the Mountain and Sea Realm had slightly lowered, the temperature in certain areas had further increased.
Perplexed and shocked, the Mountain and Sea Civilization launched probes towards nearby other worlds, only to discover that similar conditions were not unique to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Any world that had been affected by the previous battle showed signs of similar anomalies to varying degrees.
The distinction was that the Mountain and Sea Civilization was aware of these anomalies and had the capacity to address them.
Other worlds, however, could only watch helplessly as those localized temperatures continued to rise, eventually severely impacting their entire climate environment.
"So, what exactly is going on?"
Gazing at the mirage in the distance caused by the high temperatures, Shu Hai turned to Feng Rong beside him and asked.
Feng Rong, with a dog's head and a human body, was a typical member of the Quanfeng Clan.
Unlike the majority of her kin who generally worship Huo Dou.
Feng Rong followed the Winged Serpent God, hence her fur exhibited a sun-like golden luster.
This was an individual mutation phenomenon caused by abilities and faith, not uncommon in the present-day Mountain and Sea Realm.
"We've been monitoring this area for three years and can only confirm that for now, the high temperature within has shown no signs of radiating outwards."
Feng Rong said, trying to stay calm, as she involuntarily shook her fur.
For three years, to figure out what was happening in this abnormal high-temperature area, Feng Rong had become so anxious that it resulted in severe hair loss.
For Feng Rong, who has always loved beauty, it was more distressing than being killed outright.
"No signs of radiating outwards for now?"
Nonchalantly, Shu Hai moved a few steps to the side, timely avoiding the flying fur.
"Yes, according to our observation data from other worlds, this kind of abnormal high temperature will sooner or later spread out."
"Unfortunately, we have not fully mastered 'Otherworld Login Technology,' unable to breach the world's barriers with detectors to see what's happening within."
Although it was straightforward language, Shu Hai seemed to sense a chilling implication in Feng Rong's words.
"Otherworld Landing Technology?"
"Is it the technology for forcefully breaking world barriers?"
"I remember that technology was banned by unanimous vote from the Mountain and Sea People due to its irreparable harm to the world?"
As soon as Shu Hai spoke, Feng Rong immediately realized she had let something slip.
"Is it Tianyou again, that brat?"
"I knew that brat would surely secretly research this technology!"
Glaring fiercely at Feng Rong, Shu Hai silently noted this information in his mind.
He planned to check with the upper levels of the Mountain and Sea Civilization about recent data and resource consumption as soon as he returned.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Lay it all out!"
In awe of the Immortal as the "Eldest Son of God," Feng Rong dared not conceal anything.
She began to spill all the information regarding this "Abnormal High Temperature Area."
...........................
According to the Mountain and Sea Civilization's observations and verifications of other worlds, it has been basically confirmed that the "Abnormal High Temperature Area" indeed originates from the great war back then.
Initially, these "Abnormal High Temperature Areas" only showed elevated temperatures.
Once the temperature rises to a certain level, the "Abnormal High Temperature Area" will begin to actively expand outward until it contacts native organisms.
Considering the integrity of the world's rules and its inherent adaptive capabilities,
this process varies in length but generally completes within three years.
Only in the Mountain and Sea Realm, maybe due to the space-time barrier and its own specificity, the "Abnormal High Temperature Area" has remained in the initial stage.
According to observers' estimates, for the Mountain and Sea Realm's "Abnormal High Temperature Area" to reach the level of other worlds, it would take at least another two hundred years.
Due to this significant time difference,
the Mountain and Sea Realm can observe the ultimate evolution of "Abnormal High Temperature Areas" in other worlds.
In worlds experiencing the same phenomenon, when the high temperature of "Abnormal High Temperature Areas" reaches an extreme, they often collapse inward voluntarily,
accompanied by a fire sufficient to ignite the world, resulting in the "Abnormal High Temperature Area" disappearing for a time.
As the fire dies down and the world's ecology recovers,
A new "Abnormal High Temperature Area" will appear again, endlessly repeating the previous cycle of evolution.
"It sounds like a disaster that won't stop until it destroys the world?"
Listening carefully to Feng Rong's description, Shu Hai frowned, trying to find a similar case.
But after searching through all his memories, he never found any similar case.
"Has anyone entered the high temperature area to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Rong immediately shook her head in denial.
"No, in other worlds, when the 'Abnormal High Temperature Area' comes into contact with native organisms, it rapidly enters the second stage."
"So before figuring out the cause, the upper levels have forbidden us from conducting any live exploration."
At this point, Feng Rong's tone paused slightly.
"We have considered deploying drones or similar reconnaissance devices..."
"But those detection devices soon went missing after entering the high-temperature areas."
The Mountain and Sea Realm's detection devices are constructs with self-operational capabilities.
If not for worrying that implants and living plants might also be categorized as native organisms, Feng Rong and others would have deployed large quantities of artificial life forms.
"Being cautious is appropriate, given that this involves the Supreme Sun."
Shu Hai expressed his approval of Feng Rong's caution.
"In that case, let me be the first volunteer!"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Rong's eyes widened, and her golden fur stood on end.
"Don't get all bristled!"
"Since I'm not afraid of death, it's certainly not a problem for me to be the first volunteer."
Moving a few steps aside in exasperation, Shu Hai explained as he looked at Feng Rong's bristled appearance.
"If I'm inside for a long time without coming out, or if the 'Abnormal High Temperature Area' begins to heat up rapidly..."
"Do not hesitate and make sure to contact the Winged Serpent God at the first opportunity."
"After all, if even I can't handle the problem, it must have surpassed the current capabilities of the Mountain and Sea Civilization."
