Chapter 1202: Two Farms
"As for the hunters already present in the draconian world, as well as those in the neighboring worlds, well, I'll be able to feed them," Zhang Lie pledged.
Hong Tianqi chuckled. "Have you forgotten our previous conversation? There are many hunters from the Milky Way who have headed toward the draconian world and its neighbors because of your presence, and there are far more hunters there than you might expect."
Zhang Lie's eyes brightened. That was even better—it was free, accessible labor!
"Why haven't I heard of this?"
Hong Tianqi shrugged. "You must have forgotten it after our last conversation. I'm sure I mentioned that they decided to head to the draconian world out of safety considerations. You must not spend much time in the draconian world, I suppose?"
"That's right," Zhang Lie replied. "I'm rarely in the draconian world itself, and mostly waging war beyond it."
The draconian world had grown to be extremely large, and the effect of even the increased hunter population wasn't obvious. It was reasonable that Zhang Lie had failed to notice it.
"But even if I hadn't noticed, the draconian sage should have brought it up to me..."
"The draconian sage's very open-minded. I imagine that he didn't think it a problem, considering how large the draconian world is now."
When Hong Tianqi was in the third realm, he had been an influential figure in his own right—nothing like Zhang Lie, of course, but he was at least well acquainted with the draconian sage.
The difference between the Hong Tianqi of the third realm and the Zhang Lie of the third realm was that Hong Tianqi had been someone everyone in the grade knew of, whereas Zhang Lie was someone that the entire city knew of.
Hong Tianqi continued, "By this point, the draconian world might as well be the heart of the third realm for hunters of the Milky Way."
Zhang Lie nodded. "Well, I can't promise just how many superior- and peak-grade lifeforms there will be. If I run out, I'll come up with something."
"Do you have any ideas as to how?" Hong Tianqi asked. "If you do, the hunters that rush over will invariably be upset."
Zhang Lie replied, "I have a farm in the draconian world, but also a secondary one in the scaleman world. It's not as large, but it specializes in superior- and peak-grade lifeforms."
Zhang Lie found Hong Tianqi silent.
"What's the matter?"
Hong Tianqi asked, "When did you start making preparations to unify the third realm?"
"After the high-dimensional spaces began to collapse."
Hong Tianqi cried out, "You're lying! You must have planned all this out from the beginning, the moment you ascended into the third realm! Even the united world federation doesn't have the ability to construct a farm of genetic lifeforms, but you already have two! I won't believe that this is a coincidence!"
"Let's not waste time here. The third realm's collapse is occurring as we speak. I'll return to the dimensional realm while you handle announcements here."
"No, wait!" Hong Tianqi cried out. "Share your strategies for setting up a farm first!"
Zhang Lie hung up right then and there.
That very day, the united world federation announced that the third realm was on the verge of collapse, and Zhang Lie was calling for aid. All hunters who headed to the draconian world would be able to max out all their gene fragments at peak-grade and below.
Hong Tianqi didn't intend to suppress the news even if there was the possibility of causing a panic. The information would affect only the hunters of the third realm, not the citizens of the Milky Way at large.
It was true that the collapse of the third realm would be a huge blow to the Milky Way.
The hunters of the second realm would be unable to ascend to the third, and those trapped in the third would perish. However, the citizens were largely unaffected, and most hunters remained in the first and second realms.
Even so, when the announcement was sent out, it seemed as though the entirety of the Milky Way was in an uproar.
If not for the fact that the united world federation's highest authority himself had made the announcement, no one would have believed it. How could the third realm collapse so suddenly?
Everyone tried to ascertain the news for themselves, but it was impossible to sense anything even for hunters of the third realm. The destruction had, thus far, been localized to the high-dimensional spaces of the third realm, and that destruction was impossible to sense below a certain level of strength or particular achievement with spatial manipulation. No one else could witness how a hole in the deepest layers of space was growing larger moment by moment.
As a result, many hunters even believed that the world federation was releasing fake news in order to help augment Zhang Lie's status.
"Hong Tianqi is a hunter from Earth, and he's grooming his successor, Zhang Lie, by promising to max out everyone's gene fragments if they're willing to join his camp! Who else but the world federation would have such wealth?"
"According to the world federation, a hole is expanding in the deepest layers of space in the third realm, and the fragmented will of the third realm is unable to repair it quickly enough."
"What's this supposed 'high-dimensional space'? I've never heard of the like—the world federation could simply be lying through its teeth."
"The will of the third realm: just what about me is 'fragmented'?"
There were plenty of naysayers among the hunters, and the impending collapse of the third realm was a sensational topic. Eventually, a few hunters in the know responded.
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You've heard of spatial authority and spatial manipulation, haven't you? The strongest such hunters can sense and even manipulate high-dimensional space depending on their talent, training, and experience.
"Generally speaking, few in the third realm can manage such an extraordinary feat, and even those who can do so in the fourth realm are rare. It's only natural that barely anyone knows of this.
"Fortunately, I just came back from the fifth realm today, and the headlines caught my eye. Let me explain: we separate space in terms of layers, the deepest ones accessible only to those with the strongest intuition and understanding."
