Wang Xuan looked at it again and again. The scribbles on the drinks menu seemed familiar and strange, but in the end, he failed to recognize a single word.

But he remained calm, glanced at it, and then spoke in a very deep voice, saying, "Give me a bottle of 1982 Arctic Ocean soda."

He was certain that no one knew what he had ordered, there were no people from the Old Earth here, and besides, production in the Old Earth had ceased for over a hundred years.

Since he didn't understand and didn't want to show his ignorance, he decided to go for something more profound. He remained calm and composed, wanting to see just how special this place was.

Sure enough, after he spoke, the beautiful elf lady looked puzzled, then blushed, her pointed ears trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Excuse me, please wait a moment while I check."

Some people around also looked over, and their expressions were... slightly more solemn. Especially when they saw Fang Yuzhu, their respect for her deepened after they couldn't figure out her true nature.

Wang Xuan was speechless. It seemed that there were indeed some rare drinks here. If the Time-Space Bar couldn't provide them, it was a testament to its strength, background, and cultivation.

"Excuse me, sir, we..." The elven girl wanted to explain, but she really couldn't find this one, and she was very embarrassed. She lowered her head, her blue bangs covering her eyes.

This was Wang Xuan's first time seeing elves. Did this place really have all sorts of advanced microorganisms? He was also carrying a Peng egg; he just hoped he wouldn't run into the Peng Clan.

"Here, bring us a couple of your favorite drinks," Wang Xuan said, glancing casually at the menu.

The elven girl was very perceptive; following his gaze, she was about to place an order.

Fang Yuzhu took the order naturally and said gently, "Moonlight Years, two cups."

Wang Xuan was slightly surprised. She recognized the strange symbols on it and would have to ask her for help later. Both the Silver Beast Skin Book and the Nurturing Life Furnace contained such characters!

At the same time, she ordered drinks so naturally, as if she were quite familiar with the place.

Wang Xuan felt that he knew too little about the Fairy Fang, always thinking of her as a person from the pre-Qin period who didn't understand modern society, but now he realized that wasn't the case.

She had frequented this otherworldly place, the Time-Space Bar with its mothership soaring through the air.

"Is there something wrong with what I ordered?" Wang Xuan asked secretly.

"The wine that your eyes are glancing at is a heavenly wine made primarily from a whole celestial herb, juiced and then infused with some high-grade rare ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan was shocked. This place was a bit strange. They could even produce rare medicinal herbs and use them to make wine. It was too outrageous.

He became wary, sensing that those sitting there were likely powerful figures or relatives of supreme experts, none of whom were easy to mess with.

Fang Yuzhu said, "No one would be willing to be ripped off by ordering Heavenly Wine. The Highest Grade Mental World is difficult to climb, and it takes many years to harvest a single Heavenly Herb. Although Time-Space Bar is extraordinary, it is definitely not cheap and good. How could we not make a profit of several times the price?"

Taking the opportunity, Wang Xuan asked, "Is this the Land of the Dead?"

"A part of the dead land, observe more, do not investigate others, for every living being here is strong."

With Fang Yuzhu here, they naturally didn't worry about others overhearing their conversation.

"Who are these people?" Wang Xuan asked, not knowing the answer. It was rare for such a powerful expert to be so good-natured, so he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

If he misses this opportunity, who will he turn to for help later? Will he talk about life with Old Zhang, or about ideals with Mingxue?

Fang Yuzhu earnestly explained, "I've only stumbled into this place twice before. Everyone here is special and won't reveal their origins. Undoubtedly, there are creatures from the Source of the Land of Passage, as well as ghosts, but don't ask them or reveal your Roots."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan nodded in thought. The name "Time-Space Bar" was indeed meaningful. It was truly astonishing that even a creepy spirit living in a chaotic time and space could actually appear here.

Then, he became somewhat lost in thought and saw several people in Spacesuit with furrowed brows. This wasn't the first time he had seen people like that.

However, such people are either suspected of being connected to the future or are lost in history. Their intersection with the Real World is more like a brief encounter in a parallel universe.

"Alas, trapped for many years, I can't go back!" A person sighed softly, helpless and melancholy.

"These people are very special. They seem to be from a different dimension of the universe than us. Have they manifested here?" Wang Xuan gestured to Fang Yuzhu.

Fang Yuzhu, with a serene yet subtly radiant aura, said, "Yes, they are not weak. One of them is about as strong as Zheng Yuantian."

Wang Xuan was speechless. Zheng Jueshi had become a unit of measurement? He reminded himself that he needed to work harder. When would he be able to stand at that level and look down upon the heroes of deep space?

Fang Yuzhu added, "It's too difficult to find out their Roots; they keep it a secret."

Wang Xuan was puzzled and said, "We should approach them, or even take them down directly. The great powers of the Lost Lands, the Great Curtain, and the Deep Space must investigate these people. They may involve completely different universes, and perhaps they can Extend Life of the myth!"

Fang Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Some people have tried to force them, but what they got in return was that their illusions vanished like bubbles."

Just then, someone on the bar's platform shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, another exciting show is about to begin. Those who want to participate in the auction, get ready!"

At the same time, stirring music rang out, like the clanging of ten thousand flying swords, instantly attracting everyone's attention and drawing their gaze toward the stage.

This bar is very large, occupying a vast area within the mothership, with ample space for these powerful Supernatural Practitioner to roam.

Someone brought in a huge iron cage and placed it on a high platform. Inside was a ferocious beast with toad-like skin, bumpy and grayish, and a hideous appearance, like an octopus, but the end of each tentacle was a triangular snake head.

It can be tens of feet tall, like a mountain of flesh, with many snake heads raised at the same time, coldly staring at everyone.

"Everyone, this is the True Beast, discovered in the depths of space. Its strength is comparable to that of Ancient Giant Demon. Within its body lies a special crystal core containing a rich, almost real substance!"

These words immediately sparked discussion, and the Time-Space Bar became noisy.

"It's very precious. There are fewer than two hundred True Beast on that planet. Anyone interested in bidding? If you raise it well, it might be able to produce a continuous supply of those near-real crystal cores."

Immediately, many people began to whisper among themselves, and the place became restless.

Wang Xuan was moved. He had originally thought this bar was a place for people to relax, with fairies and other performers showcasing various talents. It turned out that this was what they were showing.

Someone spoke up, "Although these True Beasts are precious, they cannot be raised on a large scale at all. They are all giant monsters, how many people would be needed to guard them? Besides, there are less than two hundred of these creatures on the original planet, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to expand the population."

The man on the stage nodded and said, "Yes, we told you the truth. The fact that this brother could see it at a glance proves that we didn't mean to deceive you. Those who are interested can bid. After all, the crystal core inside it is genuine, and in an era where extraordinary beings are exhausted, it is of great benefit to the strong."

"Compared to bidding for the True Beast, I'm more interested in that planet. Why are these beasts able to condense near-real crystal cores in that environment?" A man dressed in Golden Battle Suit spoke, his majesty like that of a god, his strength extremely formidable.

The man presiding over the auction on stage looked like a young man, but his deep-set eyes suggested he was not actually that young. He said, "In order to Extend Life of the Supernatural World, our principle is to share all information and not to hide anything. A special meteorite fragment once fell on that planet, creating the True Beast."

Many people shook their heads, and some even sighed, "What a pity. Although debris has been seen in various places, the source of the extraordinary meteorite has not been found."

Someone has taken a picture of the True Beast and wants to study it carefully.

"The next program will be a collaboration. Hmm, the remains of a supreme being from the previous mythical civilization. Although he died completely, studying his dried flesh and blood might provide some inspiration. Myths are about to perish, and any beneficial possibility is invaluable and should not be missed."

This place has everything; people from all walks of life can exchange their strange items with each other or put them up for auction on the stage.

"Next, here is a piece of root dug out from the ruins of the Moon Elf Dynasty deep in the universe. It is suspected to be a remnant of the Moon Celestial Medicine. You should know that there is a legend that the Celestial Medicine cultivated by the Moon Elf Dynasty back then was close to being the True Medicine!"

"I want it, in exchange for a supreme scripture left behind by a Vanished mythical civilization."

"I'll exchange it for the Nine Phoenix Flying Immortal Furnace!"

"It's not worth it. At most, the aftereffects of the Supernatural World will completely collapse within a year. Even if it's a remnant that's close to the True Medicine, what good will it do? There won't be time to revive it."

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. There were so many good things here. He wanted to bid on them all to study them, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He would just watch and see. There were too many big shots here, and he couldn't compete with them.

Fang Yuzhu said, "I don't have any special items on me." She didn't intend to participate for the time being.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar came, and the entire Time-Space Bar shook violently; in fact, it was the entire massive mothership that was shaking.

"Here it comes, everyone. It has appeared. As expected, it will pass through here and then disappear. It all depends on your luck. If you gain something, it might help you persevere a little longer and prevent you from slowly fading into mediocrity after a year."

The "young man" hosting the auction on stage shouted excitedly, and then added, "The Time-Space Bar also has a prize. Whoever wins the most will get a pot of Celestial Immortal Drunk, which is no less valuable than Heavenly Wine. You all understand its effects and extraordinary qualities, so I won't say more."

After saying that, he jumped down and quickly walked outside with the others.

Wang Xuan and Fang Yuzhu were also in the crowd, and went out together to see what it was.

Outside the mothership, there were many living beings, regardless of race, most of whom had now taken human form and were walking together into the depths of the misty fog.

Then, they found themselves directly under the starry sky. Ahead, countless stars twinkled, stretching into the vast universe. In the far distance, darkness and depths deepened.

"Boom!"

The enormous fluctuations caused the extraordinary matter to become extremely concentrated, and even mythical rules reappeared as a result, no longer incomplete or merely lingering.

Simply because something is coming from over there!

"The Root of the Supernatural, alas, it is about to depart, to vanish, to be utterly destroyed!" someone sighed deeply.

Some people even shed tears. Although they had deduced that it would pass through this area, they were powerless to stop it from going far away and disappearing, which meant that the myth had decayed to its end!
