The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 1177: The Otherworld Descends

When Scarlett Jennings and her group touched the presence of the Otherworld Heavens, outside the domain, the golden light beneath the vortex gently trembled.

After a moment of hesitation, it resolutely poured all its power into the vortex.

At the same time, the vortex that had been suppressed by Samuel Chalmers with golden light broke through the golden light abruptly and rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, extending from the entirety of Cathay outward.

Samuel’s consciousness scattered across the Nine Provinces faltered slightly. Though he was a Dragon Vein, he still could not resist the Otherworld Heavens empowered by the strength of the Heavenly Dao from this world.

To stop the spread of the vortex, it was essential to gather Masters from various countries and concentrate the world’s fortune to obstruct it.

However, given the sudden arrival of the Otherworldly Heavens, foreign Mystical Sect forces might not readily cooperate.

As Samuel Chalmers anticipated, even though Donovan Jennings immediately mobilized the Mystical Council to quickly contact the lead Masters in various countries for cooperation to resist the Heavenly Dao upon discovering the actions of the Otherworld Heavens,

only a few countries, traditionally friendly with Cathay’s Mystical Sect, were responsive, while the majority refused to comply.

The primary reason being that the vortex initially manifested within the boundaries of Cathay.

Though the Masters from various countries foresaw a significant calamity, they deemed it Cathay’s peril.

Cathay’s peril, while wanting to label it a global catastrophe to trick them into helping? No way.

Thus, most responses were laced with a touch of ridicule,

with comments like, "If Cathay wants to seek assistance from the international Mystical Sect, you might as well make a straightforward request, but deceiving us is meaningless."

And others saying, "Cathay has, in recent years, centralized most of the world’s fortune and spiritual energy by virtue of the Dragon Vein, and now it’s experiencing backlash."

Further still, some bluntly proposed conditions for assistance,

"We can help, but afterward, Cathay must hand over the Dragon Vein and also open and share some of Cathay’s rare magic with the Mystical Sect of other countries..."

Just short of demanding everything be given away.

The elders of the Mystical Council, not known for their good temperament, were fuming at these responses.

"A bunch of fools who don’t understand the situation! Do you think we are begging you?

Don’t forget who came begging us back when you needed to set up Boundary Breaking Barriers to separate impurities in your territorial waters! If this heavenly calamity can’t be stopped, none of you should think of escaping!"

After cursing them, he was too lazy to persuade anymore, delivering a straightforward message,

"We’ve delivered the message. If you intend to stay unscathed, don’t come crying when the disaster hits home!"

Cathay’s Mystical Sect boasted strong foundations, had the Dragon Vein holding fort, and considering the help neighboring countries received from Cathay over the boundary-breaking barrier incident two years ago, several country’s Masters still stepped forward to offer assistance.

Soon, several Great Demons joined forces with Masters from various countries, attempting to use all their might to suppress the spread of the vortex.

Samuel Chalmers could distinctly feel the forces coming from all directions, yet even with these forces added to his own, they were still a drop in the ocean against the power of Heavenly Path.

With the force poured in by the Otherworldly Heavens, the barely suppressed vortex suddenly broke through the golden light, and all the forces expanded outward by double.

All were struck by a considerable backlash due to this sudden increase in power.

Seeing the vortex spreading at an uncontainable speed, Samuel Chalmers finally realized resistance was futile against the Heavenly Path descending upon the world, and he ceased all actions altogether.

Everyone watched as the golden light rushing into the vortex disappeared completely, puzzling over what happened to the Dragon Vein. The next second, Simon and the leaders of various forces heard Samuel Chalmers’ voice echoing deeply in their minds,

"The Otherworld is about to descend. To prevent the Heavenly Path from merging the Otherworld with this world, I will activate the National Protection Barrier. Inform all countries of this matter."

He couldn’t protect everyone.

Could only, as a Dragon Vein, protect Cathay until the very last moment.

Almost as his voice faded, everyone saw the shape of the golden dragon light up once more over Cathay’s land.

The golden light ignited from the Heart, with several streaks of golden light abruptly dispersing into the four directions like golden meteors across the earth.

And where the golden light traveled, a Golden Light Barrier rapidly spread along the trajectory of the Dragon Vein.

Until tens of thousands of gold lights landed, momentarily encasing the entire Cathay within a massive Golden Light Barrier.

Upon seeing this, Simon and Aaron Hearne did not hesitate and activated another National Protection Formation under Samuel Chalmers’ Golden Light Barrier.

This formation was a grand formation jointly established by the Mystical Sect and Demon Clan long ago.

Activation of the formation required gathering half the forces of the Mystical Sect and Demon Clan, usually impossible to initiate under normal circumstances.

But at the moment, though they had the protection of the Dragon Vein, relying solely on it wasn’t viable.

The very purpose of the existence of the Security Bureau is to protect the country to maintain peace.

The various sectors of the Security Bureau and the Demons from the Mystic Regulation Office, already on standby, promptly received orders. For once, both sides did not oppose each other and quickly combined their power, raising another National Protection Formation above Samuel Chalmers’ Golden Light Barrier.

Similarly, National Protection Barriers began to rise in several other countries.

Although they believed Cathay’s alarms were overblown, they were also worried about the threat posed by the ever-expanding massive vortex to their countries.

Though the strength of the Masters in each country varied, each had its own means of national protection. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Some people thought it’s better to be safe than sorry, while others were unwilling to waste their power betting on the supposed descent of the Otherworld.

As a result, when the vortex of Heavenly Dao expanded to cover three continents, ultimately engulfing the lands, those nations that did not activate a National Protection Barrier at the first moment bore the brunt, witnessing the——descent of the Otherworld.

...

The merging of two worlds wasn’t merely about overlapping them.

The first thing to descend and overlap were the people from the Otherworld.

Many were still oblivious to what had happened. They couldn’t see the vortex, just knowing that the day seemed to have grown dark earlier than usual.

Then, when they turned on the lights and turned around, they saw an identical version of themselves.

As per the ’rules’ set by the Otherworld Heavens in the subconscious of Otherworld humans, regardless of their original character, the moment they saw an identical existence, the subconscious implanted by the Otherworld Heavens would be activated directly, and then carry out the task of eliminating the duplicate.

Almost simultaneously, multiple murder incidents erupted across countries.

Some witnessed firsthand two identical neighbors appearing before them, with one suddenly launching an attack.

Some were killed by the intruders from the Otherworld, who then replaced the victims as the ’only’ one in this world.

While some intruders were counter-killed; those who managed to save themselves quickly realized although they preserved their individual selves, their family, friends, or loved ones might have been replaced by Otherworldly counterparts.

Even though the counterparts bore the same appearance, character, and even experiences, for them, these foreign entities felt more like creatures replacing their loved ones.

Most plunged into fear about whether the people beside them were real,

while another fraction could not accept their loved ones being replaced by ’monsters’, lifting their butcher knives towards these foreign ’Evil Ghosts’...
