Zhang Chulan and Zhang Huaiyi were wrapped in Golden Light as they charged down the mountain. A commotion that big naturally drew attention.
"Damn it, the mission failed. Not only did we fail to find Zhang Xilin's body, we didn't capture Zhang Chulan either."
A pink-haired girl hid behind a walking corpse and muttered something. Judging from her expression, she seemed rather angry.
Feng Baobao, who had been fighting the walking corpses blow for blow, saw that Zhang Chulan had run off and immediately went all out.
A streak of white light flashed, and the heads of the walking corpses in front of her burst open one after another, like overripe watermelons splitting apart.
But it was already too late.
After Feng Baobao finished dealing with the walking corpses, Zhang Chulan and the old man had left only a golden silhouette behind.
"That old man's Qi... feels a little familiar."
Watching the old and the young speed away, and sensing that familiar aura from Zhang Huaiyi, Feng Baobao tried hard to recall.
Bu Yao Bi Lian: I didn't expect Liu Yanyan to help out. Looks like I wasn't meant to die, haha.
After escaping, Zhang Chulan immediately reported the good news in the group.
Dragon King Spews Water: Tch, just dumb luck.
Seeker of the Dao: As long as you're fine.
Seeker of the Dao: Right, speaking of the plot, where has everyone's plot reached?
Rimuru: I just entered Jura Great Forest. I haven't encountered the Goblin tribe yet.
Photo Girl: Same here. I just arrived at Herta Space Station, and I didn't expect it to get invaded right away.
Photo Girl: Voidranger.jpg.
Photo Girl: Such bad luck. I was planning to stroll around the space station.
March 7th drew her ice bow with one hand, shot down a Voidranger, and then spoke in the group. Afterward, she cheered herself on. "Come on, it'll be over soon."
Passerby: The few people from the start of the plot have just arrived. Looks like my story is about to begin too.
Tianzhu King: Recently, I received news from Zhui. The attack on Taotie Airport has already happened.
Seeker of the Dao: Same here. Based on my estimated timeline, Tang San and Xiao Wu should have arrived in Suotuo City too.
Seeker of the Dao: Looks like everyone's plot has more or less begun.
Dragon King Spews Water: Huh, why hasn't my world changed at all?
Dragon King Spews Water: Could it really be just an ordinary world?
Gu Ruoli looked at everyone else's messages, somewhat puzzled. If most of their plots were about to begin, there should have been some changes in her own world too, right? Why had there been no reaction at all? Could her world really just be a parallel world?
Seeker of the Dao: By the way, is there anything iconic in your world? I'll see if it's one I know.
Wu Tong looked at the message from the Group Leader, thought for a moment, and spoke.
Dragon King Spews Water: No. It feels just like an ordinary parallel world.
Dragon King Spews Water: Aside from the authorities suddenly establishing an organization called the Relevant Department half a year ago.
Dragon King Spews Water: And some schools suddenly popularizing martial arts education, there's nothing else.
Seeker of the Dao: Relevant Department, popularizing martial arts. Hearing that, you didn't think of anything?
Dragon King Spews Water: I did, kind of. But half a year has passed and nothing has happened. Besides, those martial arts don't do much even after practicing them.
Dragon King Spews Water: So my original guesses naturally stopped being useful.
Seeker of the Dao: Are there any iconic people? The information you provided is too broad. I can't deduce anything from it.
Dragon King Spews Water: Let me think... oh, I got it. There seems to be a famous Martial Grandmaster called Zhou Zongsheng, admired by all the people of Great Xia.
Seeker of the Dao: ...
Dragon King Spews Water: Got something?
Seeker of the Dao: I do, but it might not be good news.
If it really was the world he was guessing... Wu Tong's eyes filled with sympathy.
Dragon King Spews Water: You mean my world is terrifying?
Seeker of the Dao: That's right. Its danger level can almost rival the Perfect World Trilogy.
Dragon King Spews Water: Ah!!! It's that dangerous? What exactly is going on?
Seeker of the Dao: I'll upload it to the folder. Take a look yourself.
Then, under everyone's attention, a file named "Spirit Qi Revival" appeared in the folder.
Gu Ruoli did not dare delay. After learning that her world's danger level could actually compare to the Perfect World Trilogy, she was almost scared stupid.
The Perfect World Trilogy. What level of danger was that? Outer Realm Immortal Kings, the Boundary Sea Turmoil, Darkness Erosion, and then Above the Heavens, the Eerie Plateau.
Which one of those was not a world-ending crisis? It was not a place where Small Fry like Gu Ruoli could possibly survive. The aftershock from any random clash between powerful beings could wipe out a whole crowd of people like her.
Yet her own world could match the Perfect World Trilogy in danger level. Gu Ruoli felt like her heart was about to leap out of her throat.
Looking at the "Spirit Qi Revival" file, she did not hesitate and clicked it.
In quick-browse mode, countless pieces of information poured into Gu Ruoli's mind.
After Gu Ruoli finished sorting through it all, her suspended heart died completely.
What the hell was all this?
Spirit Qi Revival, all things contending for supremacy, that was normal enough. After all, spirit qi promoted the evolution of all things, so the food chain would naturally be rearranged.
Weird Revival was understandable too. Since spirit qi had revived, the appearance of ghosts and monsters was not impossible.
An alien invasion was barely acceptable. The universe was so vast that no one could guarantee whether alien Civilizations existed or not.
The Great Old Ones' erosion was highly unlikely, but those old gods wandered the Endless Void all day. It was normal for them to occasionally bump into a few worlds. That could only be counted as her world's bad luck.
But what the hell was that Abyss invasion? The graveyard of worlds, the garbage dump of the Endless Void, the gathering place of shattered worlds, carrying the resentment of Ruined Worlds, instinctively attacking and destroying worlds, wanting to drag other worlds into the Abyss.
Am I seriously supposed to deal with that? Gu Ruoli was speechless.
Why did her world suffer so many disasters? Looking at how the book described surviving one calamity only to immediately encounter an even greater one, and how in the end, even after giving everything, the world still became part of the Abyss, Gu Ruoli felt a little despair.
Seeker of the Dao: ...This is the story of your world.
Dragon King Spews Water: Who's the author of this book? I'm going to #$&#@&&# him.
Seeker of the Dao: I can tell you're cursing very viciously, but if you want to find trouble with the author, you'll first have to become a Ninth Order powerhouse so you can cross the Endless Void. And even then, you might not find him.
Tianzhu King: Terrifying. Your world is truly terrifying. Not only terrifying, but also utterly despairing.
Thinking of the description in the book, of all beings and all spirits beginning to wail under the Abyss's gaze, their bodies gradually being eroded until they finally transformed completely into Abyss creatures and lost their Spiritual Intelligence... those descriptions made He Xi unable to stop herself from shivering.
Photo Girl: So scary. The disasters caused by the Aeons don't even rank later on.
Passerby: And based on what Wu Tong said, everyone's plots have recently begun. Which means...
Rimuru: A moment of silence.
Tianzhu King: A moment of silence.
Seeker of the Dao: A moment of silence.
Photo Girl: A moment of silence.
Bu Yao Bi Lian: A moment of silence.
Dragon King Spews Water: I'm not dead yet, so why are you holding a moment of silence already? Are you all sure I'm definitely going to die?
Passerby: Then does the Group Leader think she can become a Tenth Order powerhouse before the Abyss arrives and successfully resist it, or take her world and escape the Abyss's invasion?
Dragon King Spews Water: ...
Gu Ruoli stopped talking. There were only around ten thousand years before the Abyss arrived. That amount of time was not even enough for a powerhouse in a cultivation world to finish a round of seclusion.
Thinking of this, she simply gave up.
Dragon King Spews Water: Forget it. When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. I refuse to believe the Dimensional Chat Group will just stand by and do nothing when the time comes.
Dragon King Spews Water: Besides, maybe before the Abyss arrives, some big shot will join. Who knows, when the time comes, that big shot might solve it with a wave of their hand.
Bu Yao Bi Lian: ...As expected of you.
Announcement: Zhang Chulan has been muted by Administrator Dragon King Spews Water for ten minutes due to improper speech.
