The World Behind the Star Gate!

At this moment, the Star Gate, shimmering with starlight, appeared before Chu Xinghe!

This Star Gate is like a gateway to another world, appearing so mysterious and unpredictable!

Chu Xinghe stood before the Star Gate but did not proceed Xiangqian; instead, he observed the changes within the Star Gate.

An Ying stood behind Chu Xinghe, his face filled with fear!

"This thing looks... bigger," An Ying said.

Upon hearing An Ying's words, Chu Xinghe also turned to look at An Ying.

"This thing seemed a little smaller than this last time I came here with Zheng Yu and the others..."

"Did it grow bigger after devouring people?" Chu Xinghe asked.

"It doesn't seem so... I remember that after it devoured them, the Star Gate didn't change anything... But this thing seems to be dispelling the mist of the surrounding Land of Bewildered Spirits..."

Although An Ying suffered a bit, as the Holy Son of Evil Spirits, An Ying's knowledge and various abilities are absolutely unparalleled.

At this moment, An Ying observed carefully and discovered that the Star Gate seemed to be constantly devouring the mist of the Land of Bewildered Spirits, with the mist being continuously drawn into the Star Gate!

Chu Xinghe also noticed this problem at this moment!

"It seems we were all wrong. What's keeping this Star Gate growing isn't the people it devours, but the Land of Bewildered Spirits itself. This thing is growing by devouring the Land of Bewildered Spirits!"

Chu Xinghe frowned at this moment!

Actually, Chu Xinghe had a first mission before entering the Star Gate: to investigate the reasons for Star Gate expansion!

This task will determine what Chu Xinghe needs to do after entering the Star Gate!

If this Star Gate expands by devouring outsiders, then Chu Xinghe's mission is simple: all he needs to do is find a way to rescue people!

As long as we get the person out, everything will be fine!

Then, by joining forces with the White Tiger Holy Venerable, we can seal off the area Land of Bewildered Spirits, preventing any outsiders from entering and denying the Star Gate any further opportunity to devour others!

As long as the Star Gate can no longer absorb outsiders, it cannot expand!

So, after Chu Xinghe goes in, he might not have to fight the Star Ghost Clan directly; there might be other ways to rescue them.

But now the outcome is developing in the worst possible direction!

Before coming, Elder He made some speculations. Elder He believed that the expansion of the Star Gate could be due to three possibilities!

The first type: Devouring others' growth!

If that's the simplest way, just seal it away!

The second type is one that can penetrate the Land of Bewildered Spirits and devour the Spiritual Qi outside... If it's this type, although it's more troublesome, it might not be impossible to seal it!

The third one is the most troublesome!

The Star Gate devours the Land of Bewildered Spirits itself, a theory that the Great Sage also considers most plausible!

Otherwise, why does the seal on the Land of Bewildered Spirits seem to be weakening these days?

The Great Sage believed this might be the main reason why the Star Gate was devouring the seal, causing the seal to gradually weaken!

If that's the case, then Chu Xinghe will have to confront the Star Ghosts head-on once he enters the world after entering the Star Gate!

Moreover, it's not just about fighting; we also have to take the Ancient God's Arm!

Only by taking away the Ancient God's Arm will the Star Gate disappear...

And now, the predictions of the Great Sage and Elder He have come true!

This thing doesn't need any external force; it directly devours the power of the mist in the Land of Bewildered Spirits and then breaks the seal of the Land of Bewildered Spirits. Chu Xinghe suspects that the moment the seal of the Land of Bewildered Spirits is completely devoured may be the moment when the world behind this Star Gate is opened!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe knew that his trip was not so simple...

I have to give it my all!

"An Ying, why don't you go back... I might not even make it out of here!" Chu Xinghe glanced at An Ying beside him and advised.

Test!

Chu Xinghe is testing my An Ying skill!

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words at this moment, An Ying thought to himself, "Chu Xinghe, you're so cunning!"

Are you testing my loyalty?

I, An Ying, am going to become your most trusted confidant Chu Xinghe!

I'm going to replace Ma Liang!

Whose most trusted confidant wouldn't withstand such a small test?

So An Ying gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, saying, "Senior Brother Xinghe, there's no need for further words. An Ying's mind is made up!"

Are you sure?

"Sure!"

"Alright... let's go in!"

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he stepped Xiangqian and walked into the Star Gate in the An Ying the next second!

"Holy crap! Senior Brother Xinghe... shouldn't we take some kind of protective measures?"

"I..." An Ying was so angry that she cried as she watched Chu Xinghe disappear, but it was no use now. An Ying gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, and could only follow Chu Xinghe into the Star Gate!

This Star Gate was like a tunnel of starlight. The moment Chu Xinghe came into contact with the Star Gate, he was sucked into it by a huge suction force!

Chu Xinghe felt a sudden dizziness...

He didn't know how much time had passed... but Chu Xinghe felt like a rag doll, suddenly thrown out by the power of the Star Gate...

When Chu Xinghe his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by a country road...

Although Chu Xinghe fell hard, his powerful physique prevented Chu Xinghe from sustaining any injuries!

Chu Xinghe looked up at the spot where he had been thrown out; the Star Gate there flashed and then disappeared!

The An Ying did not appear immediately afterward!

"An Ying? An Ying?" Chu Xinghe searched his surroundings but found no trace of An Ying.

At this moment, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but shake his head...

Didn't An Ying follow us in?

There was nothing he could do... Chu Xinghe entered the Star Gate first, and he didn't know whether An Ying Chu Xinghe entered after him!

But now that An Ying hasn't appeared behind him, Chu Xinghe can only assume that An Ying might have chickened out at the last minute...

However, this wasn't the time to consider whether An Ying had backed down. At this moment, Chu Xinghe looked around at everything, his forehead full of question marks!

No... is this Star Sea Abyss?

Chu Xinghe remembered that Three Well Spirits Elders had once said that the Star Ghost Clan was located in the Star Sea Abyss!

Therefore, Three Well Spirits Elders deduced that the world behind the Star Gate in the Land of Bewildered Spirits might be the Star Sea Abyss!

The Star Sea Abyss is a massive underground fissure, and the Star Ghost Clan lives in its deepest part. The deeper the Star Ghost Clan lives, the more powerful they become!

That place was known as a place where there was no sunlight!

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe looked around in utter bewilderment... What the hell does this have to do with Star Sea Abyss?

This is a completely normal world...

And the strangest thing is that the place where I'm lying right now seems to be a road, but it's not some desolate ancient path or anything like that...

This road may not look like it's frequently used, but it definitely is!

"Who's there... make way, make way..." Just as Chu Xinghe was completely bewildered, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts rang out simultaneously.

The next second, Chu Xinghe saw a farmer-looking man pulling a cart full of goods and driving a horse-drawn carriage toward them from afar!

If there's anything strange about this scene, it's the horse pulling the carriage... it has six legs!

But even though a six-legged horse is strange, it's not as strange as this situation!

Just as Chu Xinghe completely bewildered, the farmer drove his six-legged carriage past him!

As they passed by, they couldn't help but look at Chu Xinghe with the eyes of someone who had lost their mind!

Putting aside the six-legged horse, Chu Xinghe even wondered if this place might actually be somewhere in the Four Continents.

But soon, Chu Xinghe realized that this was impossible!

Because this world... has no Spirit Power whatsoever...

From the moment I entered this place, all my Spirit Power vanished!

However, the existence of the Phoenix Divine Fire meant that Chu Xinghe didn't need to worry about losing his power!

What's even stranger is that there's no Taiyang in this world. Although it's daytime now, the light doesn't come from sunlight. It's from some unknown source that's illuminating the entire sky!

Is this some kind of time-travel scenario I've been transported to another time?

Chu Xinghe stood there, looking completely bewildered...

Wait... what happened to the promise of various dangers and perilous situations after the Star Gate?

Apart from the complete absence of Spirit Power, everything seems to be fine here!

Did the Three Well Spirits Elders all make the wrong predictions?

This isn't the Star Ghosts's Star Sea Abyss at all; is this some unknown world?

As Three Well Spirits Elders once recounted, the Four Continents were once a vast world. Then, the Ancient Gods shattered the world, causing the Four Continents to fall. At the same time as the Four Continents fell, many other broken worlds also collapsed along with Four Continents!

Could it be that these fallen worlds are hidden within the Land of Bewildered Spirits, somewhat like a realm within a realm?

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe felt much better...

If this weren't Star Ghosts, but some other race, then we might be able to have a chat!

If the Four Continents can merge, then theoretically, the Four Continents could accept other worlds that have emerged from the Land of Bewildered Spirits!

As long as we can coexist peacefully, then everything will be fine!

Chu Xinghe at the direction the farmer had driven off in, and without any hesitation, he headed straight in that direction!

Chu Xinghe on Xiangqian, not knowing how long he had been walking, but just as he was trying to observe everything around him, the bright sky suddenly turned from day to night!

As night suddenly fell, a chill followed!

The sudden darkness left Chu Xinghe completely bewildered!

Is the alternation of black and white in this world really that ruthless?

We're saying the alternation of day and night should be a gradual process, shouldn't it?

Is the change from night to day really this sudden?

One second it's bright and clear, the next it's endless darkness?

Chu Xinghe looked up into the distance... but no stars could be seen in the darkness...

It was just pitch black...

Such darkness forced Chu Xinghe, who was in the wild, to ignite the Phoenix Fire in order to see everything around him!

But this sudden darkness also allowed Chu Xinghe to see what appeared to be tiny lights in the distance!

That's a city!
