As he spoke with the attendant, Bai Zhi ate the lavish meal before him and learned quite a few details.
In truth, if it were to be summed up, it could be explained in just a few words.
During the Dark Era, a certain world captured an Unknown Severely Injured Entity during its endless wandering and proceeded to research and exploit it.
But everything had its pros and cons. Although they relied on the resulting Research Achievements to survive in the Dark Era for many years—3,219 years, according to the official account—in the end, everyone in that world was infected and assimilated by the Unknown Entity they had captured.
In that Dark Era, where each world was like an isolated island, the humans of that world had not even been able to flee. They could only despairingly await their final destruction.
However, with the destruction of that powerful world, the Unknown Entity was also firmly imprisoned and sealed within it, eventually falling into the [World Tomb] for unknown reasons.
—Then, after an unknown number of years, time arrived at the present.
"How are things now?"
Wiping his mouth with the napkin on the table, Bai Zhi turned to look at the attendant beside him.
He had been rushing around for seven or eight hours straight in that ruined Rule Scenario earlier, so he really had been starving.
"Very grim."
The attendant shook his head.
"There are one thousand Rule Scenarios in total. At present, at least two hundred have been completely destroyed. With every Rule Scenario damaged, that thing's power recovers a little further. We are carrying out urgent repairs and maintenance."
"That bad... Then what about those Players who entered here before us?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"I do not recommend that you come into contact with them, sir.
