"I can't take a beating for nothing."

Since the establishment of the Mortal Domain, its Mortal Domain Members have made countless contributions, large and small, but the discovery of the New Continent is undoubtedly the greatest achievement, and its importance to the Mortal Domain is revolutionary.

Without the support of abundant resources from the New Continent.

The Mortal Domain could not have developed so quickly, nor could it Suppression the Western Wasteland Island and opened up the last Safety Zone for the Eternal Night Continent when the All-Out Assault was about to begin.

Upon hearing the city lord's words...

King Mazi then relaxed a little.

"Certainly."

Chen Fan changed the subject. "Since you've forgotten how many 'Heavenly Fortune' pills you ate, and don't even know if you've used them all, you should be more cautious in the future. Don't take advantage of having eaten Heavenly Fortune to court death again."

"Clear."

King Mazi nodded in agreement.

After doing all this.

Chen Fan gazed out at the Seaside. "Heavenly Dao Strange" was dead, and the greatest danger to "Eyi Continent" had been eliminated. However, how to explore the Sea Domain and the continent that had collapsed into the Seabed was a problem.

Submersible Ship cannot reach such deep Sea Domain.

They were even less likely to leave.

While pondering.

He raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in his mind. He immediately smiled, turned, and walked towards the nearby Flying Boat. He was preparing to return to the "Eternal Night Continent" to study the spoils of this expedition. As for the rest, he could leave it to the people here.

He did not build Teleportation Formation.

A Teleportation Formation that spans 14,000 kilometers would be extremely expensive to build.

Teleportation Formation that spans 1,000 kilometers in one go requires 20 million Eerie Stones.

The Teleportation Formation that spans 14,000 kilometers in a single trip contains 2.8 billion Eerie Stones.

There are no Deserted Islands between the two places, meaning there's nowhere to land, so there's no way to set up a transit point. If a transit point could be set up, the construction cost would be cheaper.

"Flying Boats " and "Sea Ships " can serve as temporary transit points, but they cannot be maintained for long periods. After all, the Sea Domain is not a safe place, and Strange Entities often appear there.

Every little bit helps.

Taking Flying Boat can save a lot of money.

After Chen Fan left.

The "Eternal Night Continent" and the "Eyi Continent" took action almost simultaneously.

In the Level 10 Vehicle Workshop located on the "Eternal Night Continent," large numbers of "Earth-Digging Puppet" were being produced.

A group of Earth-Digging Puppet Lili responsible for widening the Undersea Tunnel that Lili once dug, which connects to the New Continent. Now, the width of this Undersea Tunnel is no longer sufficient, and it needs to be widened and several tracks need to be installed.

Another group of Earth-Digging Puppet traveled to the New Continent by High-Speed Rail.

Starting from the "New Continent," Seabed a new Undersea Tunnel to connect directly to the "Eyi Continent."

The last batch of Earth-Digging Puppet traveled by Flying Boat to the "Eyi Continent" to begin Tunnel excavation simultaneously on the Eyi Continent, with construction proceeding at both points and converging midway.

The number of Earth-Digging Puppet heading to the "Eyi Continent" is the largest.

These Earth-Digging Puppet are not only responsible for opening up the "Undersea Tunnel," but also for exploring the Seabed continental ruins. Since they can't dive down, they dig down and explore the Seabed.

They rely on the "Sky-Swallowing Crocodile's " innate sense of smell for finding treasure.

"..."

Chen Fan was standing on the deck of the Flying Boat, holding onto the railing with both hands, gazing at the horizon. The sea breeze was blowing in his face. He was already on his way back. As he relayed his orders, all departments in the Mortal Domain began to operate.

Every day, every moment.

The Mortal Domain is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

It is worth mentioning.

The main force responsible for maintaining the sturdiness of the "Undersea Tunnel" is a rare and precious herb Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures "Mountain-Skeleton Embryo" placed inside the Eerie Fire. However, this Mountain-Skeleton Embryo is now insufficient. The amount of work in the Mortal Domain is indeed considerable, and this Mountain-Skeleton Embryo is indeed reaching its limit.

But...

Unimportant.

There are many Mountain-Mound Embryos in the Mortal Domain. After placing a few more Mountain-Mound Embryos, things will return to normal as usual.

Several days later.

"They've arrived."

On the Eyi Continent, the Crippled Monkey looked at the large number of Flying Boat approaching from the horizon, stretched, and said with some interest, "Once this Undersea Tunnel is completed, the sphere of influence of the Mortal Domain will expand considerably."

Undersea Tunnels mean more than just a more convenient and safer mode of transportation.

It also means...

Laying "Copper Pipes " is a legitimate extension of the Mortal Domain realm into this area.

"What's wrong?"

The Crippled Monkey tilted his head and looked at King Mazi beside him, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Why are you frowning so deeply? Who has offended you this time?"

"A Flying Boat that went out on exploration has lost contact."

King Mazi said in a serious voice, "The outbound Flying Boat numbered 222 has been out of contact for six hours. We can't reach it at all. The last reported location was 14,000 kilometers northwest of the 'New Continent.' I've sent nearby Flying Boat to check, but the distance is too far, and it will take some time."

"Dead?"

The Crippled Monkey frowned.

"He's not dead."

"I asked the people guarding the Life Tablets in the Mortal Domain, and all of their Life Tablets are intact."

"I have some suspicions... they might have run away." King Mazi said hesitantly, "The Boat Captain of Flying Boat No. 222 was the former Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land in the West Pass Plains. After Great Unification Mortal Domain, the Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land disbanded the Slaying Immortal Holy Land and took all his disciples to join the Mortal Domain."

"Its Holy Lord also became the Boat Captain of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion."

"The other side handed over a considerable amount of rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and resources; their only demand was the position of Boat Captain of the Commerce Pavilion."

"Now it seems..."

"Perhaps it's for the convenience of escaping?"

"..."

The Crippled Monkey's lips twitched, and he firmly shook his head in denial. "It's impossible that they ran away. The Eternal Night Continent is safe. The outside is full of Strange Entities. There's no reason for them to run away. That would be out of their mind."

Something must have happened.

"Send someone to check it out quickly."

"It's been dispatched, but there's still no result."

Many people know that there was once a powerful force in the "West Pass Plains" called the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, but few know that...

The name of the Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land.

Zi Xian.

That is the name of the Holy Lord.

"Suicide?"

A man with a blade of grass in his mouth, dressed in a powerful uniform, leaned back in his chair with a half-smile, looking at the Middle-Aged Man hanging in the air by Iron Chains in front of him and sneered.

"I heard about how your father named you."

I want to hear it.

The once imposing and dignified Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord, whose eyes would occasionally dart around with a new idea, was now hanging heavily in the air, Iron Chains in wounds, panting heavily.

There were also two men holding whips nearby.

The whip in his hand was covered in barbs.

Before the Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord could speak, one of the men, with a fierce expression, lashed the Holy Lord's back with his whip, instantly tearing his skin and causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"..."

The Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord, suspended in the air by Iron Chains, was now in a starfish position, completely unable to fight back, and could only mutter softly.

"A gentleman who lacks gravity will not command respect, and one who studies will not be firm in his convictions."

"This is Zi Xian."

"I am very happy. I have finally seen this different Heaven and Earth. I am truly happy. I have been happy enough. Are you... ready to be happy?"

"This seat?"

The man who had been interrogating the woman sitting in the chair suddenly turned grim. He strode forward, snatched the whip from the man next to him, and lashed out with it again.

"You dare call yourself 'this master' in front of me?"

"The final day."

"If you don't talk, I have plenty of ways to get you to shut up."

"Hey-hey."

The Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land groaned in pain, then grinned and spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto the man's face. "I wasn't that loyal to that guy either. If you had treated me to good wine and meat, I might have vomited it all up."

"But you actually used torture to extract a confession."

"Grandpa, if I throw up, wouldn't that mean I'm a coward and a spineless coward?"

Bring out whatever dishes you can find.

"Look at how soft your grandpa's bones are, and look at how stubborn your grandpa's mouth is."

"Court death!"

The man in the uniform of the powerful figure threw the leather whip in his hand into the arms of the two men beside him, strode towards the interrogation room, and said viciously in a fit of rage.

"Keep hitting him, beat him until he screams in pain!"

"Smack!"

A piercing sonic boom suddenly erupted in the room.

The Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord, suspended in the air by Iron Chains, suddenly arched his back, his ten fingers gripping the Iron Chains tightly, his knuckles white as lime.

After dozens of lashes.

The Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord was noticeably weaker, his lower back was no longer Humanoid Form, and blood dripped from his mangled flesh. There was only a flickering oil lamp in the room, which illuminated his wounds as they appeared dark.

"How?"

Outside the interrogation room.

An Elderly Man, blind in both eyes, sat quietly in a chair, gazing at the faint sound of a whip cracking in the interrogation room, and slowly said, "He still hasn't revealed the exact Coordinates of the continent he's on?"

"At least, the mainland's name should have been revealed, right?"

"No."

The Middle-Aged Man who had just interrogated the Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord lowered his head with a somewhat ashamed expression and whispered:

"Teacher, I'm not very capable, and progress is a bit slow."

"However, a flag was found inside their Flying Boat."

"The word "Fan" is printed on it."

"The continent they're on should be related to the mortal realm. The flags are ones we've never seen before. Besides that, we also found quite a few Eerie Stones, Message Talisman, and some daily necessities inside the Flying Boat 'Mustard-Seed Room."

"The Message Talisman kept flashing; someone was constantly trying to contact them. The Message Talisman was Densification; we..."

Unable to answer.

"Furthermore, judging from the consumption of the Eerie Stones in the Flying Boat's 'Mustard-Seed Room,' they must have been at sea for quite some time."

"Plus--"

"The communication range of the Message Talisman itself is not far, and no one within a hundred miles is approaching it, which means that the other party's Signal Tower must be of a high level, at least level 8 or even 9 or above."

"But upgrading the Signal Towers is extremely costly."

"This means that the other party is most likely a Peak First-Level Continent, or a Second-Level Continent."

"That's interesting."

The Elderly Man nodded slightly and murmured, "A continent I've never heard of is actually nearby."

"Continue the trial."

"I need more information."

"Yes!"

In another interrogation room.

The First Elder of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land was howling loudly, his eyes filled with fear, his body covered in wounds, and the room was filled with the smell of burning branding irons.

"We're all human, we shouldn't unite against the Creator Code, lest we get burned, it hurts!"

The First Elder was suspended in the air by Iron Chains, his old bones now bloodshot as he growled.

"Say it out loud, and it won't hurt anymore."

A man standing nearby, holding a branding iron and turning it in the Furnace, said softly.

Didn't I already say that?

The First Elder, trembling all over, finally said, "Go and interrogate the Holy Lord! As long as he confesses, I will confess immediately!"

"Can't you confess first?"

"That's absolutely impossible. As the First Elder, one cannot betray the Holy Lord before he does; that's the rule."

"Sharp."

The man suddenly laughed in anger, raising the red-hot branding iron in his hand. "Then let's see who's tougher, you or him."

"Stop!"

The First Elder roared first, then took a deep breath before saying solemnly, "This one is definitely harder than mine, without a doubt. I even helped the Holy Lord urinate when I was a child."

The next moment--

Another scream suddenly rang out inside the room.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Stop burning me! Stop burning me!"

"The Holy Lord knows a lot."

"Go ask the Holy Lord!"

Flying Boat number 222 is Boat Captain by the Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, vice- Boat Captain by the First Elder of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, and Flying Boat three members are disciples of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land.

One of them was the man who had once been stationed on the section of the "Northbank Defense Line" near the mountains.

At this time.

In three other interrogation rooms.

The three disciples were interrogated separately.

But what they have in common is...

The screams were incessant.

But...

No one confessed.

That's all.

After several hours of continuous interrogation, the Middle-Aged Man in charge of the interrogation looked increasingly grim. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to be so loyal to a continent; this was illogical.

He strode into a house.

He looked at a man tied to an iron chair and said each word Ice-Cold.

"You are not some Holy Lord."

"You're not some kind of First Elder."

"You hold no official position whatsoever; you're just an ordinary member of the Flying Boat. Why don't you say so? Did you perhaps swear an oath to the Jade Seal?"

"But the pain you are enduring now is no less than the pain of breaking your oath, is it?"

"Give me an explanation."

The young man, barely alive, lowered his head and murmured in a barely audible voice, "You've hit me so many times, if I were to speak now, wouldn't all the beatings have been for nothing?"

"We can't let ourselves get beaten up for nothing."

"Unless..."

"I'll only speak up if you let me hit you that many times."

"Presumptuous!"

The Middle-Aged Man was utterly enraged, but his anger was tinged with an almost imperceptible fear. The mental state of these people was completely abnormal. If everyone on that continent was like this, then this method of contact might not be a good start to the story.

He slammed the door shut and left.

People get tired of fighting.

The Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land was staring blankly at the pool of blood at his feet, while two men beside him were panting.

They were resting, panting heavily.

Chen Fan...

Come on over.

Come and see how tough I am! I didn't utter a single word.

If you don't come soon, it's going to hurt like hell.

P. S.: Today I'm preparing for my engagement. I originally planned to take the day off, but after checking, I realized I still had some time, and I figured a shorter post would be better than taking the day off. So, I've kept the word count a bit lower today. Sorry...

I recently visited my father-in-law's house for the Chinese New Year.

There's a lot going on.

Things will get much better after these few days.
