100\% DROP RATE : Why is My Inventory Always so Full? Chapter 799 - Start

Lucien did not announce the plan through a grand assembly.

Across the world, communication devices received the same message.

He explained the proposal plainly.

The five continents had once belonged to a single greater landmass before the Millennia War tore the world apart. The wounds left behind had lasted for thousands of years, shaping oceans, borders, trade routes, and entire civilizations.

Now Lootwell wanted to bring those pieces together again.

He was careful about how he said it.

This would not happen suddenly, and he had no intention of dragging entire continents through the sea by brute force.

The process would be gradual.

It would also happen only if the people living on those continents believed the benefits justified the disruption.

Lucien included what Aurelia, Elunara, and the Grandmaster had seen through divination.

A connected landmass would make military support easier to coordinate. Reinforcements would no longer depend so heavily on long-distance teleportation, and defensive formations could support neighboring regions without oceans standing between them.

Emergency evacuation would gain more options.

Supplies could move through physical routes if teleportation failed.

Medical support, trade, and communication would no longer need to treat each continent as a largely independent region.

Recent incursions had already exposed how awkward those separations could become.

Lucien did not hide the problems either.

Coastal populations might need to move temporarily.

Sea routes would change.

Weather patterns could shift.

Formation networks would need to be rebuilt while the geography changed around them.

The process would take months at the very least, and every stage would be stopped if the world showed signs of instability.

Only after explaining all of that did Lucien ask what everyone thought.

•••

The answer arrived almost immediately.

The communication network became chaotic.

Lucien had expected arguments, but he had underestimated their creativity.

Some people supported the idea before they had even finished reading the explanation.

Others simply stared at the proposal for a long time, apparently trying to decide when moving entire continents had become something people could discuss as a practical project.

A surprising number were worried about property boundaries.

Another person asked whether two kingdoms that had been separated by an ocean for thousands of years would suddenly be expected to tolerate each other as neighbors.

Then someone asked whether the South Continent could still be called the South Continent if Lucien moved it northward.

That question spread much farther than it deserved.

Lucien refused to participate.

The serious concerns were more useful.

Coastal cities wanted guarantees against sudden changes in sea level.

Farmers worried about rainfall and temperature.

Fishermen wanted to know what would happen to familiar currents and migration routes.

Merchants began asking where the future land connections might appear.

Military commanders were considerably less hesitant.

Most of them had fought during the recent Black Mass incursions and immediately understood what continuous territory would mean.

The discussion continued for days.

Lucien let it.

He possessed enough strength to begin without asking anyone.

That did not mean he should.

Those continents were home to billions of lives that had existed long before Lucien became powerful enough to rearrange geography.

They deserved to have a say in what happened to their world.

The shock gradually faded.

Then curiosity took over.

Families separated across continents began imagining journeys that would no longer require teleportation or ships.

Merchants started sketching possible trade roads through places that were still ocean.

Several kingdoms began discussing future border crossings before anyone had even approved the project.

Lucien found that encouraging.

Premature, but encouraging.

When the responses finally stabilized, support comfortably outweighed opposition.

There were still people who disliked the idea.

Lucien expected that.

He did not hide their objections or pretend the decision was unanimous.

Instead, he promised that the movement would be slow enough for problems to be discovered and corrected before they became disasters.

Only then did he summon the people who could actually make it happen.

•••

The plan had already existed before he ever asked the five continents for permission.

He would never have proposed rearranging the world with nothing more than a vague idea and confidence in his own strength.

What he needed now was not a plan.

He needed specialists capable of finding everything wrong with it.

Lilith was among the first to arrive. Anvil-Horn came with her.

Eirene came with several Lunarian formation masters. The Grandmaster represented the Obsidian Collegium, accompanied by people responsible for structural calculations and large-scale formations. Several Celestials joined them to handle disturbances involving higher authority and the surviving ancient seals.

Others followed according to the parts Lucien had already assigned in his initial framework.

When everyone gathered around the projected map, Lilith studied it for several seconds before looking at him.

"You actually intend to do this."

Lucien nodded.

"I wouldn’t have asked everyone otherwise."

Her gaze returned to the five continents.

Ancient fracture lines had already been marked across the projection. So had the safe movement corridors Lucien had identified after clearing the Keeper network from the seas.

The protected regions surrounding the Primordial Slime’s remaining seals were absent from those routes entirely.

Lucien pointed toward the map.

"I won’t drag the continents across the ocean."

That immediately caught everyone’s attention.

He expanded the projection.

The enormous distances between the five landmasses compressed visually.

"I’ll reduce the Space separating them."

Eirene understood first.

"The continents still move, but not through the entire distance."

"Exactly."

Lucien could alter Space on an enormous scale now, but even he had no intention of physically forcing five continents across thousands of kilometers of ocean.

Instead, he would gradually shorten the distances between selected continental boundaries.

The landmasses would approach one another through controlled spatial compression while the planet was given enough time to adjust after every change.

The method solved the largest problem.

It did not solve the others.

That was why everyone was there.

Lucien changed the projection again.

"The continents cannot approach randomly. I already chose the general arrangement based on the divinations and the old fracture structure. What I need from all of you is to tell me where this plan breaks before the world does."

The Grandmaster smiled faintly.

"That is a much more reasonable request."

Lucien ignored the implication.

•••

They began with the land itself.

The Millennia War had not separated the ancient supercontinent cleanly.

Some fracture regions still resembled their original counterparts beneath thousands of years of erosion and geological change.

Others no longer matched at all.

That was where Lilith became essential.

Lucien enlarged two ancient continental margins.

"I want you to rebuild the connection in stages."

The first joins would happen deep beneath the ocean, where ancient continental shelves approached one another.

Genesis Forging would reconnect compatible stone gradually, strengthening the deeper structure before any permanent land bridge reached the surface.

Lilith studied the fracture surfaces.

"You want me to treat the breaks like damaged material."

"That’s the idea."

That suited Genesis Forging much better than asking Lilith to create an entirely new continent.

These were not unrelated masses being forced together.

They were fragments of something that had once been whole.

Lilith traced one of the old breaks with her finger.

"The original structure will help."

Lucien nodded.

That was what he had hoped.

Genesis Forging could use those remnants as reference rather than inventing a completely new geological connection.

"But these regions won’t match anymore," Lilith added.

Several parts of the fracture had shifted too much over the ages.

"I know."

Lucien moved the projection.

"Those are mine."

Living Creation would reshape the transition regions around the forged joins.

Not by turning mountains into soft clay or casually rewriting entire ecosystems, but by helping the newly connected land adapt once its deeper structure became stable.

Lilith looked at him.

"That part might take longer than the forging."

"I’m expecting it to."

She finally nodded.

The first portion of the plan survived.
