The so-called boundary river is a hollow zone where one universe meets another. Because it is located at the intersection of two universes, things that cannot be seen in the ordinary universe occasionally happen here.

Because this boundary river marks the border between the Long Teng Universe Country and the Fei Me Universe Country, the Long Teng Universe Country has rarely sent people into the river. The Fei Me Universe Country, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care much about its jurisdiction over this small boundary river, making this area a region of chaotic rules.

Tanpo Star, many years ago, was an obscure planet. It was resource-poor, sparsely populated, and impoverished. Until one day, a deity descended, healing the people and teaching them better methods of farming. He stayed on this planet for three years.

After he left, people built a temple for him on the highest mountain on the planet and named the day he left "Worship Day," which they worship every year.

Initially, only some of the planet's original inhabitants followed this custom. However, with the development by the Federal Government, the planet quickly became wealthy and turned into a tourist destination within the boundary river. Most Interstellar Pirate entering this boundary river would visit the planet's temple to pray for good luck; they weren't necessarily devout, but rather seeking psychological comfort.

Gu Ding has always believed that gods are just more powerful humans. They are simply genetically superior and have more special abilities, which allows them to do more things.

After two days of sailing, the Golden Eagle finally arrived at the port of Tanpo Star.

Robert was left to look after Liliath, while Gu Ding and Bigge left the spaceship.

Once outside the hatch, Gu Ding realized that this planet was different from all the planets he had passed through before.

Typically, Interstellar Port are always bustling, filled with the noise of Interstellar Pirate, Interstellar Hunter, and merchants loading and unloading goods.

Although there were quite a few people at the port on this planet, there was a sense of tranquility. Even some of the people who clearly looked like Interstellar Pirate spoke in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing something.

"What's going on?" Gu Ding scratched his head and muttered in confusion, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with this situation.

Bigge looked up at the Sky Dome, vaguely sensing something. "It's the will of the strong... The remnants of this will on the soul level bring oppression, and this oppression instills a sense of awe. That's why these people deliberately lower their voices when they speak. I can feel it; that oppression is like a pair of eyes in the Sky Dome watching my every move, telling me not to overstep the rules. Can't you feel it?"

"I didn't feel anything!" Gu Ding suddenly raised his voice, and everyone in the port looked over, their eyes filled with reproach. He covered his mouth in embarrassment and then muttered to himself, "Sea Emperor, hurry up and help us find the person with the ** carved on their body. This planet doesn't allow people to speak loudly. I'll go crazy if I stay here too long."

"I checked, and apart from the ports, there are very few surveillance cameras on this planet. There aren't even any near the temple. The chances of finding that person this way are slim," the Sea Emperor said, his outlook pessimistic. "Furthermore, because many people on this planet believe in maintaining a pure mind and avoiding external interference, many have removed their Smart Watch, making it difficult for me to access much information. I suggest you check the temple; it's a blind spot for me. But logically, someone with tattoos on their body should be very devout, and they should be located very close to the temple."

After renting a car, it took Gu Ding and Bigge more than two hours to reach the foot of the mountain below the temple.

"Isn't there any transportation up the mountain?" Looking at the only winding stone steps leading up the mountain in the distance, Gu Ding couldn't help but ask the driver.

"No, you need to enter the temple with a devout heart. Only those who have walked up all these stone steps are truly devout." Hearing the driver's explanation, Gu Ding got out of the car speechlessly.

"There are so many of these bluestone steps! I just checked, and at the fastest climbing speed of an average person, it would take at least three days to reach the summit. There are also rest stops set up at the temple halfway up the mountain, about one per kilometer, with food and lodging provided free of charge. Based on your normal physical strength and speed, you should be able to reach the top in about twenty hours..."

"Twenty hours is too slow," Gu Ding said, activating his Berserk and Limitless Body Technique Seventh Layer at full power. With a single leap, he covered a distance of more than thirty steps. Seeing this, Bigge quickly followed.

The two ran wildly up the stairs, attracting the attention of many people.

Elsa had been living off the temple for days, eating and drinking her way up the mountain. Each day she would eat at one of the various outposts, consuming twelve meals a day. This allowed her to maintain a state of about 70% fullness, though not completely satiated, it was better than starving. This planet was the one where she felt the most kindness. At least when people gave her food, they didn't lay a hand on her, and she didn't have to break their arms.

She had just celebrated her sixteenth Coming-of-age ceremony less than two months prior. According to Viking tradition, the tribe was typically left to their own devices. So, the day after the Coming-of-age ceremony, her mother kicked her out of the house and lectured her, "You have two choices. First, find a man who can beat your Old Dad and marry him! Second, become stronger until you can beat your Old Dad, then you can stay in this house and freeload!"

Although Elsa knew this was the way of the Viking Clan, she didn't think she could ever marry out, because no man from any other family in the tribe could withstand three moves from her Old Dad. As for men outside the Viking Clan, she'd heard their bodies weren't even as thick as a Viking Clan man's arm, and their height was less than half that of a Viking male. This had been confirmed countless times since she left the tribe.

When Elsa was taken to the port by her Old Dad and a group of younger brothers, she was somewhat at a loss.

"Bringing back a strong man, I'll definitely go easy on Old Dad, hmm, I'll only use 90% of my strength." Before boarding the ship, the Old Dad lowered his voice and winked at Elsa.

Elsa nodded vigorously, and she immediately felt that her Old Dad was the best to her in the world.

As Aku stretched out its huge head and came closer, Elsa smiled and reached out to scratch its neck as usual. Aku was so comfortable that it even closed its eyes.

Just then, Old Dad slapped Aku on the head, and Aku was instantly slammed into the ground.

"A stupid dragon. How could I have thought of raising it? It can't do anything but eat. Elsa, why don't you take Aku with you? I'll find another smarter one." The Old Dad looked at Elsa with anticipation.

"No, I want to find my own dragon!" When Elsa said this, she was actually thinking that she could not even feed herself, let alone a dragon with a appetite dozens of times that of her. She would definitely starve to death.

After leaving her people, Elsa wandered across many planets, practically starving every day. So when she heard that a temple on Tanpo Star offered free food, her eyes lit up. She managed to sneak onto a cargo ship and smuggle herself to this planet.

Besides struggling to conceive every day, she didn't forget the task her parents had given her: to find a strong man.

Therefore, she often challenges some seemingly powerful martial artists, but it seems that most of them are not as strong as her youngest brother Jeff was only four years old after her Coming-of-age ceremony.

When Elsa saw two people, one tall and one short, pass her on the steps, her eyes lit up and she quickly chased after them.

At full speed, Gu Ding was almost comparable to Eighth Order Gene Body. When he saw a girl of similar height with a ponytail calmly chasing after him, he was slightly surprised.

"We've caught up with you!" The girl with the ponytail blocked their way.

"Is there something you need?" Gu Ding and Bigge stopped in their tracks. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any hostility, Gu Ding was a little confused as to why the other party would block their way.

The girl with the ponytail glanced at Gu Ding, then fixed her gaze on Bigge, scrutinizing him from head to toe. "Are you also a Viking Clan? But you don't look very tall or sturdy, and your aura doesn't quite match..."

"No." Bigge shook his head. This was the first time in his life he had heard someone say that he wasn't tall or strong enough.

"Whether I'm Viking Clan or not doesn't matter. My name is Elsa, and I challenge you!" The girl with the ponytail ignored Gu Ding Bigge made Big her target.

"Sorry, I don't accept the challenge!" Bigge shook his head. He could sense that Elsa was quite strong, but without Liliath's hypnosis, he still couldn't attack a human.

"Elsa, right? Why are you challenging Bigge?" Gu Ding found the challenge inexplicable.

"I must find a man strong enough to bring back to the tribe!" Elsa said resolutely. "Only a man stronger than me can possibly defeat Old Dad!"

"Bigge doesn't fight. If you want to challenge me, I'll accept. But no matter who wins or loses, you're not allowed to bother me anymore." Gu Ding felt that the other party wasn't someone who would give up so easily, so he decided to take the challenge himself. He wanted to end the fight quickly because he was indeed in a hurry.

"You?!" Elsa looked Gu Ding up and down again, then blinked a couple of times, somewhat reluctantly. "But you look really weak..." (To be continued.)
