Hello, New World

"Beep beep!"

The vehicles on the bridge were completely gridlocked, horns blaring one after another.

"Are we moving or not?"

"Don't rush, something seems to have happened up ahead!"

No one knew who was the first to get out of their car, but as the news spread from one to ten, then ten to a hundred, more and more people got out and, with the simple desire to witness some excitement, leaned over the railing to look ahead.

Yet, even so, no one could clearly recall when the woman in white had appeared.

She seemed to have popped right out of thin air, suddenly standing there.

Swish, swish, swish...

The crowd's actions were remarkably uniform; everyone took out their phones, aiming their lenses at the woman in white.

There was an inexplicable coolness to the figure on the screen. The woman's long sleeves fluttered, and though she appeared solitary, she stood as steady as a mountain on the narrow railing. The traffic behind her, the shouting of the surrounding crowd – none of it seemed to exist in her eyes.

If Immortals existed in this world, this must be what they looked like.

Liu Shuyue, however, felt something entirely different at that moment.

This was her first time seeing the city where the Lu Mountain Hermit resided, and she confirmed it didn't belong to any continent outside the abyssal sea. There were so many

Countless purple lightning bolts struck from the dark clouds, engulfing the trio in an instant. The river surface erupted with steam, as if boiling. Not only that, but several bolts of lightning hit the streetlights on the viewing deck, showering sparks with crackling explosions!

This time, everyone was truly panicked.

No one wanted to be struck by lightning while watching the excitement!

Screams erupted as people scrambled to find a safe place to hide. However, the dark clouds came and went quickly. In less than ten seconds, the afternoon sun shone down again, illuminating both banks of the Shajiang River. This caused the fleeing people to stop in their tracks.

It was then they noticed the woman in white had vanished.

The trio opposite her had also disappeared from the steaming river surface. Only a half-burnt wooden stick and a few tattered pieces of cloth remained in the water.

"Was I dreaming just now?"

"My phone was recording! This can't be fake!"

"Who were they?"

"That was so cool! I want to learn that water-walking kung fu too!"

Everyone was utterly stunned. The tourists on the viewing deck and the drivers on the bridge were all buzzing!

"Let's go," Chen Xuan said with satisfaction. "It's time to pick them up."

Liu Shuyue had been teleported directly to the shop by the "shopkeeper's invitation." Fu Jiaolu and the others had dived into the water the moment the phantom lightning struck, using the breath-holding talismans to move downstream. They would come ashore on a deserted riverbank, so they still needed to be picked up.

Listening to the excited discussions behind him, Chen Xuan knew the grand curtain was finally about to rise.

"Explosive! Jiangcheng witnesses another marvel after the bizarre mirage!"

"Family, something big has happened! No aliens found, but Immortals have appeared!"

"Live recording from the scene is here, don't forget to like."

"I told you superpowers definitely exist, superhero movies are documentaries!"

The incident spread with astonishing speed. Various discussion posts mushroomed on major forums that afternoon. By evening, the event had climbed to the top of the trending searches, and YouTube was flooded with related short videos.

"Young man, do you know what happened on Shajiang Bridge One this afternoon?" Even the uncle who always bought cigarettes from him at the residential complex brought up the midday "drama."

"I know. Haven't the TV stations already interviewed people at the scene?" Chen Xuan skillfully scanned the QR code for him. "Two packs of Furongwang, 40 yuan."

"Heh, that's nothing. The most coincidental thing is that my daughter was on the bridge at the time, only a few meters away from that woman in white. She happened to bring her camera and took a lot of photos right then," the uncle boasted proudly. "I heard people are paying high prices for high-definition photos from the scene now, hundreds of yuan per picture!"

"Really? Your daughter is so lucky. What does she think of the incident?"

"I don't know about that. If you're interested, why don't you talk to her? I can give you her WeChat."

Chen Xuan never expected to be pitched from this angle. He quickly pushed the cigarettes back to the man. "Ahaha... maybe later, maybe later."

"Tsk, young people really don't know what's good," the old man shook his head and left the shop, quite displeased.

At this moment, Lin Qing, who was cleaning the counter nearby, suddenly walked over and whispered in Chen Xuan's ear, "The Dimensional Limit Organization has made a move."
