Joining the Organization

Clouds drifted slowly across the boundless sky, and towering ancient trees rose from the ground, their white trunks rooted in the white earth, their majestic and robust forms piercing the sky.

Further away, layers of mountains intertwine with black Crystals, and faint red plants meander out from the black Crystals.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen such a landscape—a network of roads leading in all directions, a scene completely different from Blue Star. Standing there, they were momentarily at a loss for where to go.

"Is this some kind of eerie Instance? It's so huge!" Tao Yuan was completely speechless with shock at standing there.

The wind she felt, the sensation of her footsteps, and the scents she smelled all seemed to come from another world. This sense of realism didn't feel like she had entered Instance, but it was the only possibility she could think of.

"Such a large Instance, such abundant energy... Is this SS-Rank instance?" Tang Pin said, touching the bark of the white tree next to her, feeling the vibrant life force emanating from it.

Wang Ding squatted on the ground and filled a glass bottle he carried with him with some white soil.

"You can't take the items out of the Instance, so there's no point in you putting this in, right?" Bai Zhong asked.

"I don't think it's that simple," Wang Ding said. "If we can't take it out, it just proves that this is Instance, and it's also a kind of verification."

Sheng Qingqiao then touched the tree trunk and said, "Such vibrant energy! These are real trees, aren't they!"

In this bizarre world, vegetation that hasn't undergone any strange or bizarre mutations is rare. The trees here are so tall; I wonder if they've already been mutated.

"You guys are pretty punctual."

A familiar voice rang out, and everyone watched in disbelief as a pair of feet suddenly appeared in the previously empty air, and a person slowly emerged with each step.

The boy changed into a white and gold windbreaker and light-colored ankle boots, looking quite formal. Even the Little Rabbit in his arms was dressed in a bright gold dress.

"Bai Yang!"

"Welcome!" Bai Yang clapped his hands with a smile, and the Little Rabbit in his arms jumped down and waved to the people behind him.

A bunch of fluffy little Puppet emerged from behind Bai Yang, all sorts of small animals, hopping and skipping around Bai Yang's feet, clapping enthusiastically.

Elder Min nodded with a smile, revealing no emotion other than amusement.

"Wow. So many of these are your Weird Object?" Sheng Qingqiao was poked by Tao Yuan and immediately jumped out to Bai Yang's side. "Why didn't I see you bring them out before?"

"Yeah, he even changed his clothes, he looks much more handsome now."

"They're not Weird Object, they're my good friends," Bai Yang said with a smile. "These are uniforms from the organization; I rarely wear them normally."

"So handsome!"

After catching up for a while, Bai Yang walked ahead with a smile and said, "Alright, let's hurry up. Lots of people from the organization have come to join the fun today."

"I was thinking of bringing more people to welcome you, but they're all a bit too respectable and I was afraid they'd scare you, so I decided to come by myself."

"I've figured out why you're always fighting with people in the organization. You'll have no friends if you keep doing this," Sheng Qingqiao clicked her tongue.

"What do you know? My Master said this is just my true nature, which is rare!"

Bai Yang started walking forward, but after taking a step, he turned back to them and said, "By the way, stick close to me once we're inside. If you wander off, some guys might mistake you for prey, which could be dangerous."

Elder Min chuckled, "Looks like there are quite a few rules here."

Bai Yang respected Elder Min and replied earnestly, "Yes, the energy to travel between worlds didn't come for nothing. Many in the organization have had reservations about inviting you in. I believe Elder Min can understand; there will always be dissenting voices within an organization."

"I understand, I understand, young friend Bai Yang is absolutely right."

Having said that, Bai Yang took a step forward and disappeared from their sight.

Without hesitation, Elder Min followed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qin Rang and the others realized that there must be some kind of barrier ahead, so they followed closely behind.

With one step, a palace that seemed to extend into the clouds suddenly appeared before him.

Everyone instinctively stopped and looked up in unison, barely able to make out a corner of the enormous palace in front of them.

The palace sits on the boundary between light and darkness, its majestic and solemn structure rising from the ground, its black and white colors clearly distinct.

The palace on the left is pure white, while the palace on the right is dark black; one is clean and the other is secluded, creating a strong sense of division.

Further away, the lakeside can be faintly seen, its surface covered with black and red Crystals, and water flowing gently by.

Standing beneath such a palace, one can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

The wind whistled through the palace, seeping through the cracks in the buildings, creating a deep, ancient echo.

"My God... It's even more breathtaking than our underwater palace..." Luo Jiayu stared blankly at the main Main Hall in the center, her voice trembling slightly.

Wang Ding snapped out of his shock, instinctively patting his heart to calm his racing heartbeat.

He glanced at the communication device on his wrist, which was connected to the outside world; it was completely silent there.

After waiting for a while, the others gradually came to their senses and started talking in hushed tones, before a short message appeared on their wrists.

Elder Ju: Take as many photos as possible.

"Alright, let's go." Bai Yang waited for them to come to their senses before turning around and leading the group to continue walking.

As they continued forward, no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the sacred and enormous palace.

It wasn't until they reached the gate that they realized it was much larger than they had imagined. Standing in front of it, they couldn't even reach the circular handles inside; they could only see the intricate, densely packed, mysterious patterns carved on the door.

The doors, one white and one black, slowly opened. Bai Yang led them out, only to be met by a black and white intertwined light and shadow.

Qin Rang raised his hand to shield his eyes, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he looked up following the shadow and saw a huge black and white Throne appearing in the air.

The shadow of the Throne appeared for only a few seconds before being replaced by a massive Scales.

The Scales are also black and white, with black on the left and white on the right. The central scale is shaped like a holy sword, with the tip pointing directly at everyone.

Black and white weights are placed on both sides of the Scales to maintain Scales equilibrium.

On this enormous Scales is a huge, unfamiliar hand, tightly gripping the hilt of the holy sword, beneath which are engraved in gold the words: "Judgment Office".

Even Qin Rang was so shocked by this scene that his pupils contracted slightly and he was deeply shaken.

Is this organization really called the Judgment Office? What an arrogant and overbearing name.

Elder Min maintained the same expression; although he had lived a long life, he had never seen such a scene before.
