There had originally been quite a few people dining here, every one of them an industry big shot from Void Land, top-tier figures whom ordinary travelers could never hope to meet.
But in Difan's eyes, they were no different from anyone else, because Difan was the absolute ruler of Void Land. No one could shake his position in the slightest.
As for the few people who had been dining here earlier, they were still the lowliest servants before Difan. Everyone knew that everything in Void Land belonged to Lord Difan, while they were merely little dogs Lord Difan had elevated.
They could be replaced at any time. In Difan's eyes, they held no value and were things that could be swapped out whenever he wished.
So, when they heard that Lord Difan needed to use the restaurant, they immediately left without daring to linger in the slightest. Before Lord Difan, all of them were incomparably humble; they did not even dare look directly at him.
Thus, Jenny and the others had no idea what kind of standing this Collector, Lord Difan, who seemed somewhat strange in both behavior and mind, truly held in Void Land.
To countless people in the universe, to the hundreds of millions of lives in Void Land, Difan was an unimaginable big shot.
But those who had never experienced life in the universe simply could not comprehend it. It was like an ordinary person on Earth being unable to imagine what it would mean for China's highest-ranking leader to suddenly stand before them and invite them to dinner.
The so-called Collector Difan did not merely face billions of lives. Among all civilizations in the universe, among countless billions of lives, Difan was an absolute powerhouse and overlord.
Yet Jenny and the others had encountered far too few Extraterrestrial Civilizations. They had only seen the sparsely populated Nidavellir, the once Cosmic Overlord Asgard, and their brief time on Xandar.
They still found Difan impossible to imagine and had no way of understanding him at all.
In truth, from the very instant Leo had brought them into the universe, they had already stood at its uppermost level. Everything they came into contact with was something any life in the universe could pursue for several lifetimes without ever reaching.
Jenny, George, and the others felt nothing particularly special about it. They only knew instinctively that the man before them was truly formidable; at the very least, he commanded a flying legion.
After entering the Starry Sky Restaurant, everyone turned back, only to find that they could no longer see the entrance through which they had come. Aside from the metal platform beneath their feet, there was only a fairly large Black Round Table. There were not even any chairs.
Pietro stood by the edge of the metal platform and cautiously tested the space below with one foot. His foot landed on solid ground, yet there was no visible support beneath it—only emptiness.
Even after placing both feet on it, he still did not dare make any large movements. He could not clearly see the scene before him and feared that, in the next second, he might step straight into the void.
This was the simulator's powerful combat support capability. Earthlings mainly relied on sight and hearing in battle.
But a simulator this powerful was enough to render sight and hearing entirely useless. If one could not see or hear clearly, how could one fight?
No matter how fast Pietro was, he did not dare use his speed here. Though he knew this was all an illusion created by the simulator, he remained deeply wary. If there were a trap, he might never return.
The others were the same. They tentatively stepped outward, inching forward one step at a time, completely unable to walk normally.
Even Old Li was the same. He could not find the slightest flaw with his eyes, as though they truly stood amid the boundless starry sky.
If not for the normal Gravity Sense, if not for the physical ground still perceptible beneath their feet, the sensory conflict would have been overwhelming and unbearably uncomfortable.
What astonished everyone was that Wanda stepped forward naturally, as though she were walking on flat ground. She showed not the slightest fear or discomfort.
She even dared to stride ahead. In only a few steps, she reached Pietro and looked at her Brother with a bright smile.
"Wanda, y-you... how did you do that?"
Pietro stared incredulously at his sister, who stood so openly and at ease before him.
"It's nothing. I can sense the floor, as well as this restaurant. Although I still can't sense where the edge of this restaurant is, I can clearly perceive everything within ten meters around me."
Wanda's words immediately lifted everyone's spirits. They all knew that Wanda leaned toward Mental Power, while Pietro specialized in Super Speed.
They simply had not expected Wanda's powerful Mental Power to be so helpful in this regard.
It could break through illusion and reveal the truth. Few things could deceive Mental Perception; at the very least, no currently known simulator could.
Leo also noticed the others' awkwardness. Smiling, he stepped forward as well.
But when Leo's foot landed upon the empty void, a flash of Golden light flickered beneath it.
Then dozens of Golden Threads swiftly extended outward from beneath Leo's feet. They wound and twisted, yet followed a distinct pattern, running horizontally and vertically like irregular Square Patterns.
After each Golden Thread bent several times as it extended outward, it continued to split and spread, rapidly expanding toward the edges. Their spread was extraordinarily fast; within only one or two seconds, they had covered the twenty-meter area around them.
They did not fill all the emptiness, yet they completely visualized the void floor.
Even so, the Void of the Starry Sky behind those Golden Threads remained visible, still as breathtakingly beautiful as ever.
The threads merely added countless embellishments to the emptiness, but seeing those Golden Threads on the ground gave everyone a full sense of security.
The Golden Threads extended all the way to the table. Though the ground remained perfectly flat and unobstructed, that solid feeling finally allowed everyone to stride forward without further reservations.
Difan glanced at the Golden Threads on the floor. Though he did not know why the simulator could not cover such a layer of ground-level Golden Threads, he did not pay much attention to Leo's actions.
He too quickly walked over to the table, looking excitedly at everyone before him.
"What dish styles would you like to eat? If you want to look through the menu, it will probably take several days. There are some classic dish style options here. Would you like to try them?"
