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."
