Thoughts

Rhine Empire.

Chiyang City is the southernmost city in the Rhine Empire, situated right at the junction of the Chiyang Desert and the Sunset Mountain Range.

This place could be considered one of the peculiar locations on the Yulan Continent.

The Sunset Mountain Range, along with the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the Dark Forest, are the three great forbidden zones of the Yulan Continent, naturally attracting countless warriors and mages to head to the Sunset Mountain Range for training.

Likewise, although the Chiyang Desert is not the most famous forbidden zone on the Yulan Continent, its level of danger is not to be underestimated.

The year-round arid climate without rain alone is enough to stop most people in their tracks. Even some low-level warriors and mages find it difficult to persist in the Chiyang Desert for long, not to mention that there are some unique magical beasts living within it.

However, at the junction of the Chiyang Desert and the Sunset Mountain Range, a small tributary of the Yulan River flows out from the Sunset Mountain Range to the west of Chiyang City, forming a small, lush, and flat area with abundant water and grass.

The Yulan River has countless tributaries, densely weaving a water network that sustains countless lives on the Yulan Continent; it is the mother river of the Yulan Continent. It is precisely because of the existence of this small tributary that Chiyang City was established here.

At this moment, inside Chiyang City.

Looking at the bustling and prosperous streets, the noise is constant.

One can even see warriors and mages with contracted magical beasts on the streets from time to time.

As one of the most convenient cities in the Rhine Empire for traveling to the Sunset Mountain Range, Chiyang City never lacks warriors and mages, a sight rarely seen in other cities.

After all, mages are quite rare.

"Meng, it seems we really aren't on Blue Star anymore."

The thin man looked at the bustling crowd around him, his gaze unfocused as he muttered to himself.

If nothing else, just the way the people here are dressed is nothing like the people of Blue Star.

And over there, there are actually humans riding magical beasts?

How can humans and magical beasts coexist? This is something hard to imagine on Blue Star.

Did they leave Blue Star after stepping onto a jade platform, or whatever that magic array was?

It feels completely unreal.

The leading man forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and whispered, "Remember what that Saint-level powerhouse said? If you want to leave, go to the Dark Forest!"

"For now, let's go gather information and figure out where we are first!"

The leading man said cautiously.

At this moment, deep in his heart, the leading man actually felt a surge of excitement; perhaps they had discovered a monumental secret.

Although a Level 7 Warrior is not considered exceptionally powerful, in the Rhine Empire, one can still obtain a high-ranking officer position.

Even in Chiyang City, a Level 7 Warrior is considered extremely formidable.

The leading man walked toward a shop with a somewhat archaic style; those entering and exiting were basically warriors and mages in various attires.

After taking a look, the leading man walked inside.

As soon as he entered, a receptionist came forward.

Although the man's attire was slightly inconsistent with the others, this world has all kinds of styles, and perhaps people from somewhere dress this way, so the receptionist did not treat him differently.

"My lord, what do you need?"

The receptionist smiled and asked. This person looks like a warrior and must be planning to head to the Sunset Mountain Range for training.

In Chiyang City, these types of people are the most common. Perhaps one of them is a direct descendant of some great family, so they greet everyone with a smile.

"What do you have here?"

The man did not ask directly, but spoke first.

"Is the lord planning to go to the Sunset Mountain Range?"

The receptionist smiled, his tone carrying a hint of confidence.

Sunset Mountain Range?

Where is that again?

The man felt a wave of confusion in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. "Yes."

"Then you've come to the right place, my lord. Heading to the Sunset Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, so you must be well-prepared; whether it's maps, weapons, or anything else, we have it all, and the prices are absolutely fair."

The receptionist's smile grew even wider. These big shots who go for training are all extremely wealthy.

"And you can rest assured, my lord, our shopkeeper is a Level 6 Warrior himself and has traveled to the Sunset Mountain Range several times; the maps here are absolutely the most accurate."

The receptionist continued his sales pitch.

Not long after, the group gathered together again.

At this moment, everyone's expressions were somewhat complex, filled with both worry and a touch of joy.

Although they could not fully understand the environment they were in, they had learned something about the current situation; what was certain was that they were indeed no longer on Blue Star.

The thin man suddenly whispered a sentence, "Did we 'transmigrate'?"

"Transmigrated to a world with the same cultivation system, but one that far exceeds Blue Star in scale."

The thin, gaunt man added.

At least, that was what he saw.

The others did not refute this.

"Meng, what should we do now?"

Another man asked.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

After a moment of silence, the leader spoke directly.

At this moment, his own mind was in a state of chaos; he did not know what to do next.

Because he also felt that this was very much like a transmigration, yet it seemed somewhat different, though he could not quite put his finger on it.

Could it be that the only option now was to find a way to head to this so-called Dark Forest?

Although he had not looked into it carefully, he could infer from the fragments of information he had gathered that this Dark Forest, much like the Sunset Mountain Range, was an extremely dangerous place.

Moreover, it was very far from where they currently were.

"Transmigration?"

The group had been under the constant observation of Beirut, so he was naturally aware of their conversation.

Although he had never heard this term before, its meaning was not hard to guess.

"I wonder how this magic array was activated in the first place."

Beirut narrowed his small eyes, his curiosity growing. Perhaps he should find a master of magic arrays to come and take a look.

Masters of magic arrays held a very high status in the Divine Plane and were treated as honored guests by any faction. Powerful magic array masters could even easily use arrays to trap or even kill existences at the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

He did know a few formidable magic array masters, but none of them were in Youlan Prefecture. It would take some time to find them.

Blue Star.

After sending the group into the Yulan Continent plane, Fang Yun returned to the convenience store.

Everything Fang Yun possessed currently came primarily from materialization; it could be said that he had taken a shortcut. Therefore, even though his life level had changed due to becoming a Sovereign, his mindset was not like that of a Sovereign who had lived for countless years.

If it weren't for the sudden feeling that he could inexplicably open a passage to the Coiling Dragon World, the first thing he would have wanted to do was to properly tour Blue Star.

However, the sudden appearance of the Coiling Dragon World had captured Fang Yun's attention.

After all, compared to the Coiling Dragon World, Blue Star was slightly lacking in excitement.

It was like a person watching ants play; larger ants were naturally more interesting.

This was Fang Yun's current line of thought. Even if he wanted to travel the world, he now preferred to travel the Coiling Dragon World. After all, he was a Sovereign now; even the Divine Plane, which was extremely dangerous to gods, held basically no danger for him.

Therefore, Fang Yun's focus remained on the Coiling Dragon World.

Perhaps he should continue to select more individuals with good talent and strength to head to the Yulan Continent. After all, five people were still too few.

He estimated that if they encountered a relatively powerful Magic Beast, they would easily be killed, and by then, he probably wouldn't be able to learn about the situation in the Yulan Continent through them.

In truth, it would be best if he could go there himself, but his Sovereign clone could not descend into the Yulan Continent, and his true body was only at the Saint-level, with limited strength.

Of course, he still had to find a way to figure out Beirut's attitude.

Once Beirut's intentions were determined, as long as there was no danger, it wouldn't be too much trouble for his true body to head to the Yulan Continent, even as a Saint.

However, if he wanted to go from the Yulan Continent to the Divine Plane, his Saint-level true body would not be enough.

Unless his Saint-level true body directly used Willpower, or borrowed the Sovereign power and profound laws of his Sovereign clone. But if he did that, any Sovereign would likely guess that he possessed a Sovereign clone.

With no shortage of Sovereigns of Light, the appearance of an extra Sovereign of the light attribute would likely attract the attention of all the Sovereigns. After all, the number of Godheads was fixed.

This was not good news for him.

Therefore, as long as his strength was insufficient, or his Sovereign clone could not go to the Coiling Dragon World, it was best not to expose his Sovereign clone if he could help it.

The best method remained finding a way to increase his world power, materialize a new talent, and achieve a divine clone to head to the Yulan Continent.

A god-level existence would at least have some ability to protect itself.

Likewise, once this divine clone reached the level of a Highgod, it would be an existence second only to a Paragon. At most, people would suspect he was a Paragon, but they wouldn't suspect he had a Sovereign clone.

Even if the worst happened and the clone fell, it wouldn't have too much of an impact on his true body.

But if his true body died, he wasn't even sure if the Coiling Dragon in his mind would still exist, as that thing had only ever been in his true body's mind.

In his view, even his Sovereign clone was not as important as his true body.

Therefore, it was time to create some phenomena in a few days to attract more people to the teleportation array.

At the very least, he needed to clarify Beirut's attitude.
