"If the giant tsunami you've caused is left unchecked, it will likely spread to North America and Europe in about half an hour. You said before it would disappear automatically, but there's absolutely no sign of it disappearing at all; on the contrary, it keeps escalating."

Gu Mingyue gazed distantly at the waves in the distance.

"Oh, you're talking about this? It's very simple to solve."

Zhang Yanhang gently snapped his fingers, and an invisible wave of air spread out. Well, with his current colossal size of 220 meters, it's impossible to do such a delicate action, so a violent air wave accompanied his finger snap, spreading outward and gradually expanding from the sky to the ground.

This intense air wave defies physical common sense, growing larger as it spreads without showing any sign of its strength diminishing. However, as it spreads, it strangely appears not very conspicuous.

When this intense air wave reached the massive dust clouds in the sky, the affected areas seemed to suddenly have increased gravity, plummeting towards the ground, falling and scattering continuously. Finally, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.

Upon reaching the ground, this intense air wave seemed to cancel out any earthquake waves, restoring the vibrating earth to its former calm, gradually decreasing from a level ten super earthquake to levels nine, eight, seven, and even a normal small quake.

Though slight aftershocks occasionally still occurred, undoubtedly, the earth as a whole was moving towards calm once more.

With the disappearance of earthquake waves, the seaquake became powerless to continue its push, symbolically raising a few waves to slap against the shore without the previous fierce momentum of sweeping away continental glacier chunks.

With the earthquake waves gone, the pressure and collisions of tectonic plates also gradually ceased.

Accordingly, the mantle layer magma, which erupted violently due to tectonic pressure, visibly slowed its eruption speed, retreating from a state akin to a high-pressure water jet to that of an ordinary faucet.

Though still erupting, it could no longer pose a significant threat, and even if left unchecked, it probably wouldn't take long to stop on its own.

Seeing the devastated yet oddly peaceful and serene Greenland Island before her, Gu Mingyue's amazement was evident. "Was your snap just now a special skill?"

"No, it's just an ordinary snap. Have you heard of the butterfly effect?"

Even though his Energy Value was completely exhausted, and he had even consumed additional Medium Magic Recovery Potion stored in his Stomach Space, Zhang Yanhang eventually managed to forcibly halt the earthquake and still found leisure to chat with Gu Mingyue.

"The butterfly effect? Are you talking about the story where a small butterfly in the Brazilian rainforest flapped its wings and, by coincidence, the resulting airflow gradually magnified, eventually causing a massive storm across the ocean weeks later?"

Though aware of the butterfly effect, honestly, Gu Mingyue didn't feel the situation at hand had anything to do with the so-called butterfly effect.

"If even a small butterfly can achieve such a feat, then as a Fourth Tier [Heavenly Destiny Master], a Controller of Destiny, having luck so good that I can cancel an earthquake with a snap is certainly quite reasonable, isn't it?"

At least Zhang Yanhang found it very reasonable.

"Let's not worry about the rest. What on earth is a Controller of Destiny? When did you become a Destiny System talent? Weren't you supposed to be a Lucky Awakened?"

Initially, Gu Mingyue hadn't thought much about it, but now, the more she thought, the less [Heavenly Destiny Master] seemed right. It did sound more like a Destiny System ability rather than a Luck System ability, although destiny and luck differ by only one character, there's no doubt the difference between them is vast.

"The external manifestation of the Destiny System is manipulating one's destiny to become extraordinarily lucky, isn't it? What's the issue?"

Indeed, Zhang Yanhang, with the advancement in rank, gradually shifted from being a Lucky Awakened to someone more akin to a Destiny Awakened, especially after promoting to Fourth Tier, experiencing a tremendous qualitative change.

"... Okay, as long as you're happy."

Gu Mingyue wanted to say more but stopped herself. She felt tired and somewhat numb, wanting to gripe but letting out only a sigh.

She began to feel that maybe compared to his over two thousand meter tall body, even such a rare and immensely powerful Destiny System ability didn't seem so outrageous.

"So you're a Destiny Awakened after all. I wondered how a Lucky Awakened could easily interfere with others' luck, but if it's destiny interference, I can understand."

Zhou Muxi couldn't help but recall the previous 'lucky butt' incident. Now, thinking back, it wasn't 'luck of the butt' but simply direct destiny interference.

Additionally, Zhou Muxi somewhat understood why Zhang Yanhang advanced so quickly. As a Destiny Awakened, continually interfering with his destiny to achieve 'speed-running,' while maintaining quality and quantity, wasn't it entirely normal?

But if Zhang Yanhang knew her thoughts, he would surely sternly criticize her for discriminating against Destiny Awakened. Zhang Yanhang had not been weak for anyone throughout his life, and his promotion in rank was solely due to his efforts, without needing any destiny interference. What was deep blue... ah, no, selections! Boosting! were merely normal uses of ability, completely beyond reproach.

"Do you have anything else? If not, I'm ready to tidy up the aftermath and head back home."

Zhang Yanhang estimated that there might still be a few scattered Monsters on Greenland Island waiting for him to clear, and besides that, he also thought about possibly devouring Monster Corpses, provided they were still left and hadn't been buried underground.

"Alright, since it's all settled, Zhou Muxi and I will head back first."

Without waiting for Zhou Muxi to agree, Gu Mingyue took her while she seemed to want to say something and teleported away.

After Gu Mingyue teleported away, Zhang Yanhang didn't want to waste time, so he immediately started to clear out the remaining monsters.

Of course, clearing them out directly would certainly be a huge waste of time, as a considerable amount of time would need to be spent searching for the monsters. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang used an old trick, triggering a Time Pause, and used that time to search for the location and number of the remaining monsters.

Well, the result was that there were indeed very few monsters left. After all, just the direct impact area of his fall had basically covered most of the monsters near the Christmas Permanent Teleportation Channel, and the subsequent indirect attacks took out most of the remaining monsters.

Moreover, besides this, the remaining monsters were all basically on the outskirts, which were in the range of indirect attacks. Direct attacks were impossible for them to withstand.

But with indirect attacks, many monsters survived due to terrain factors or because they could fly.

The simplest terrain factor was that there was a mountain right in front, which absorbed all the shockwaves. Although the mountain was directly shattered by the shockwave, the monsters remained unharmed.

In short, they were monsters that survived by chance, so their number was indeed quite low. Even if all were added up, there were probably less than a thousand left. Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he flew around the perimeter and unleashed several Death Waves, he could probably clear them all.

However, while the monsters themselves were easy to deal with, their corpses were very problematic. Due to Zhang Yanhang's falling attack, a significant portion of monsters was vaporized on the spot due to high temperatures, with no remains left.

And among the rest of the monsters, quite a few fell into various bottomless abysses and were buried deep underground by crustal compression. Though digging them out wouldn't be difficult for Zhang Yanhang, it would be extremely troublesome and time-consuming.

Plus, the monster corpses would refresh in an hour. Even if Zhang Yanhang could conduct a large-scale excavation, before he could dig out many corpses, most would refresh and disappear.

As such, those corpses deeply buried underground, though Zhang Yanhang could perceive them, had to be regretfully abandoned. Additionally, some remaining corpses were very fragmented.

That is, they were mostly intact before death, perhaps just split in half or quartered, but were further smashed to pieces with the secondary strike, turning even more fragmented.

While not minced like dumpling fillings, they were scattered in pieces, east and west, unable to be collected. They were strewn all over the ground, at considerable distances apart.

It could only be said that shockwaves have pros and cons. While they aid in killing monsters, they also blow the monster corpses away.

This is also because these monsters did not drop a treasure box, and their bodies were not particularly valuable.

Otherwise, if this were in the Ashen World and he was seriously killing monsters, gigantic shock waves blowing monster corpses everywhere and the resulting disordered refreshing treasure boxes would consume much more of Zhang Yanhang's time in retrieving them since generally, treasure boxes appear alongside monster corpses.

So, among the remaining monster corpses, only a small portion is relatively intact, and conveniently near the surface.

Though only to a certain extent, even among this small portion of monster corpses, some were buried underground, although not too deep, possibly recoverable using Heaven and Earth Devourer to forcibly pull them to the surface.

Regarding this outcome, Zhang Yanhang could only state that the destructive power of the Meteorite Fall was too great. If it were a bit weaker, there would have been more intact monster corpses salvaged.

"But the dead cannot be revived. Given the situation as it is, there is nothing to be done. It's better to hurry and clear out the remaining monsters and then go home to rest."

Even though only the seven hundred feet Dharma Body status was used for a few minutes, he undoubtedly expended a significant amount of Physical Strength. Moreover, a substantial amount was also consumed during the normal clearing process earlier. His remaining Physical Strength wasn't much, and he just wanted to finish clearing the remaining monsters and head home for a good rest.

While he wasn't entirely sure about the Physical Recovery Speed at his current Fourth Tier, he estimated that he wouldn't have much extra Physical Strength left to do anything else today, and tomorrow, he would be hunting monsters in the Ashen World, so he couldn't afford to exhaust his strength and had to reserve it for the monsters there.

As such, this time, the Christmas Teleportation Channel should be the only and last Permanent Teleportation Channel he cleans up during this rest period.

Speaking of this transmission channel, Zhang Yanhang also noticed a problem. Although he had aimed at that Permanent Teleportation Channel and hit directly, the Permanent Teleportation Channel remained intact, seemingly indestructible.

"From the current situation, these Permanent Teleportation Channels are likely products of the rules of the Ashen World, probably belonging to the same indestructible type as the Lucky Slot Machine and Achievement Vending Machine."

At this thought, Zhang Yanhang began to feel even more pessimistic about the future of humanity in the Main World. Permanent Teleportation Channels couldn't be destroyed by attacks of his magnitude, could not even be slightly disturbed, and the future humans likely couldn't achieve that either.

This meant that once a Permanent Teleportation Channel wanted to open, humanity could do nothing to stop it, at most quickly clear the monsters that appeared once it opened.

But if a few channels, like five, ten, or a hundred could be managed simultaneously, what about a thousand, or ten thousand channels opening at once?

Wouldn't that be a GG on the spot?

In such circumstances, humans would have no choice but to be continuously squeezed for survival space by the monsters from the teleportation channels and be forced to abandon most of their land, retreating to a few mega-cities protected by numerous high-tier Awakened.

"There's a strange sense of déjà vu about this, and it seems likely to happen in the future."

To this, Zhang Yanhang could only say that the Empire's efforts in pushing urbanization make a lot of sense, demonstrating real foresight.

But if possible, timely clearing of teleportation channels and safeguarding past territories for humans to continue living normally would be the best outcome.
