Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

It was someone, thousands of miles away, who, with a single finger, drew an eternal, insurmountable red line for the most powerful nation on this planet.

On Nathan Island, Zhou Ye slowly withdrew his finger.

He looked at his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, it looks much more symmetrical this way."

Chapter 407 The New Moon Rises, the Legend Fades Away

The North American continent was divided in two.

This news, like a level twelve mental tsunami, swept through the highest command centers of all countries around the world in just a few minutes.

At first, no one believed it.

This is utterly absurd, absurd beyond even the wildest dreams imaginable. The tearing apart of continental plates—a force requiring billions of years of geological activity—how could it possibly happen in an instant?

But when clear satellite images were placed on the tables of world leaders, all doubts turned into a cold silence.

That massive scar across America is more persuasive than any words. The Pacific Ocean is overflowing at hundreds of kilometers per hour, creating a new inland sea. Countless cities have been submerged, and immeasurable wealth has vanished. The planet's hegemon, at this moment, has had its spine utterly broken.

Panic spread like a plague.

If this finger can be drawn in the United States, then it can also be drawn in Europe, in Asia, or on any other land.

At this moment, all nuclear weapons and all aircraft carrier fleets became a pathetic joke. Humanity's pride in its military might proved utterly fragile and vulnerable before a truly world-changing force.

Leaders from various countries frantically contacted each other through secret channels, trying to figure out what had happened. They had only one thought: to find that "being" and appease His wrath at all costs.

However, the instigator didn't take it seriously at all.

On the beach of Nathan Island, Zhou Ye did all of this as if he had simply drawn a line on the sand.

He glanced at the isolated island beneath his feet, then looked at the sky, seemingly deep in thought.

"Sir, what's wrong with you...?"

Feng Shayan asked cautiously. She was already somewhat numb from the shock of Zhou Ye's methods. To split a continent apart was something that was completely beyond her comprehension.

“Punishment alone is not enough.”

Zhou Ye spoke calmly.

"We should leave them a souvenir so that they can always remember what happened today."

He stretched out his hands, pressed down lightly, and then slowly lifted them up.

As he moved, the entire island of Nathan began to shake violently.

No, not just Nathan Island.

Thousands of miles away, the massive rift valley he had carved out, stretching over four thousand kilometers, along with the land several kilometers wide on either side, began to tremble violently.

Under the watchful eyes of countless satellites and telescopes around the world, a scene worthy of being recorded in history, no, it was a scene worthy of being recorded in mythology, unfolded.

That massive, torn piece of the American continent, along with everything on it—collapsed city ruins, overflowing seawater, fractured mountains—was forcibly ripped off the earth's crust by an invisible force!

Immediately afterwards, this irregular "land" that was over four thousand kilometers long and nearly ten kilometers wide defied gravity and slowly, yet firmly, rose into the sky!

It passed through the troposphere, through the stratosphere, and broke through the atmosphere.

At the same time, Nathan Island, the island shrouded in the power of the divine tree, also rose from the ground, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky.

In low Earth orbit, the two "fragments" from Earth began to reassemble.

Nathan Island became the core of this new continent. The vast, irregular landmass, like a ribbon, encircled Nathan Island, being kneaded, compressed, and shaped by divine power.

Finally, in geosynchronous orbit, a brand new celestial body, emitting a faint fluorescence, was formed.

It is irregular, like a piece of unpolished jade. But it just floats there quietly, slowly rotating around the earth.

From Earth's perspective, a bright, greenish-blue "new moon" appeared in the night sky.

An artificial moon comprised of landmasses from the United States and Nathan Island.

A timeless, stark warning hanging over the heads of all humanity.

After finishing all this, Zhou Ye clapped his hands, a satisfied look on his face.

"Yes, that way, every time they look up at the moon, they can relive the pain of today."

Feng Shayan, standing to the side, was at a loss for words. She could only silently mourn for America for three seconds. Of all people to mess with, why did they have to provoke this bored, cosmic being? Now look what's happened—their land has been ceded and hung in the sky as a souvenir.

Li Muxuan and the survivors of Nathan Island were currently atop that new moon. They felt the familiar ground beneath their feet, then looked up at their former blue home planet, their minds blank. Had they... become gods?

Zhou Ye ignored the new moon in the sky and the chaotic situation on Earth.

His divine will swept across the entire earth.

At Longhu Mountain, he saw the old master who was worried about Zhang Chulan's future.

In Beijing, he saw the top executives of Nadutong scrambling to deal with all sorts of messes.

In some unknown corner, he saw Qu Tong fleeing, her face still showing signs of shock.

He saw all the storylines and all the entanglements between the characters in this world.

But he only glanced at it before losing interest.

"Too small."

He whispered to himself.

The origins of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques have been analyzed, and the principles of the Reverse Life Triple Technique and the Three Corpses Technique have been understood. For him, there are no more secrets in this world. As for those loves and hates, conspiracies and schemes, in his eyes, they are nothing more than the joys and sorrows of ants, not worth lingering over.

His gaze returned to the sand swallows beside him.

"Sha Yan, now that this matter is settled, we should be going."

Feng Shayan's heart tightened, followed by an indescribable surge of excitement. She knew what "leaving" meant. It was a completely new and much wider world.

“Yes, sir!” she replied respectfully, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

Zhou Ye said no more. With a wave of his hand, the space in front of him was torn open like a scroll, revealing the deep, boundless, and dazzling universe behind it.

0 ......

He didn't look at the world again, and stepped into the spatial rift.

The sand swallow followed closely behind, and at the last moment before stepping into the crevice, she looked back.

She saw the new moon hanging in the sky, the blue planet, and on the beach, the strange people from all over the world who had regained their freedom because of their departure, yet remained stunned.

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhou Ye had left all the aliens who weren't from Nathan Island or the US military, who had been frozen in space on the battlefield, here. This included several from Japan and the United States. However, when Zhou Ye created the new moon, those individuals had already silently turned into cosmic dust, a small, insignificant interest payment made in advance for their countries.

Now, these strange people from all over the world have become the only witnesses on this empty beach.

They will take everything that happened today back to all parts of the world.

A legend was born.

A legend about a "god".

Legend has it that a god once descended upon this land. Disgusted by the buzzing of flies, he wiped out two invincible fleets. Disgusted by the rudeness of mortals, he etched an eternal scar upon the continent. Finally, he took a piece of land, leaving behind a new moon in the sky, for himself and for all humankind.

From that moment on, the world gained a new "Moon of God".

All of this has nothing to do with Zhou Ye, who has already left.

He was just a passing traveler who, by chance, left a small but indelible impression on the world.

The spatial rift slowly closed, isolating everything from the outside.

The story of Under One Person continues.

But God has already gone far away.

Chapter 408 First Arrival

The closure of the spatial passage is silent.

One second, the Sand Swallow's senses were still immersed in the ultimate shock brought by the supreme power that tore apart the continent and shaped the crescent moon, its soul still trembling. The next second, everything around it was taken away and replaced with a completely new "background".

It is no longer the deep, cold universe, nor the turbulent sea.

A warm rush of air, a mixture of dust, the smell of rubber tires, and burning cheap gasoline, filled her nostrils. The whooshing of passing vehicles and the distant clamor of the city filled her ears.

She blinked and found herself and Zhou Ye standing on the side of a wide asphalt road. White lane markings were painted on the road, and a road sign in the distance read "Airport Expressway" and "Juxia City" in a simplified font she had never seen before.

"Sir, where are we..." Fengshayan looked around. In the distance, skyscrapers formed a continuous steel forest, and in the sky, several iron birds painted with civil aviation logos were slowly landing.

This is a modern city that is both similar to and strange to the world she knows.

“A new world.” Zhou Ye’s tone was as calm as water, as if he had simply walked from the living room to the balcony. “It was a random exploration based on the previous Earth. Luckily, it seems to be a civilization with a decent level of technology.”

The "exploration" he spoke of was the diamond-level reward he had just won in the [Under One Person] world, one of the powers he gained after becoming the new "Exploration Star God." It was no longer simply about time travel, but about using an anchor point as a foundation to explore and connect with countless adjacent parallel universes. Each exploration was an unknown journey.

Feng Shayan nodded as if she understood, and was about to ask something else when a piercing, howling engine roar came from afar, abruptly interrupting her thoughts.

She looked in the direction of the sound, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

At the end of the highway, seven or eight "people" riding bizarrely shaped hover motorcycles sped towards them. They wore dark purple metallic armor, their helmet visors flashing with an ominous red light, and they carried menacing energy weapons. The motorcycles had no wheels, hovering half a meter off the ground, their tails spewing out eerie blue flames, and the noise they emitted was comparable to a chainsaw cutting through steel.

These uninvited guests were exactly like villainous extras who had jumped out of some low-quality sci-fi movie.

[What... is going on? Are all the ghost-wielding teenagers in this world this cyberpunk?]

Feng Shayan mentally ranted, but her body instinctively tensed up, and her Qi began to circulate within her.

However, the group of "ghost fire teenagers" clearly weren't aiming for a friendly city street race. Upon seeing Zhou Ye and Feng Shayan on the roadside, they didn't slow down at all; instead, they raised their weapons.

"Unidentified supergene unit detected!"

Threat level: Unknown. Elimination order issued!

A cold, emotionless, synthesized electronic voice rang out between them. The next instant, several scorching beams of energy intertwined into a net of death, descending upon the two of them.

Feng Shayan's expression changed, and she was about to dodge, but she found that Zhou Ye beside her didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply stretched out one hand and gently grabbed at the incoming beams of energy and the group of menacing "ghost fire youths" in mid-air.

There was no sound, no light effects, and not even a trace of energy fluctuation.
