In the Glory Secret Realm, amid the vast starry sky.
"We're here!"
"That's the Assembly Star for this expedition."
Inside the spaceship's control room, Yang Zheng gazed at the enormous planet in the distant starry sky. Its diameter was 690,000
kilometers. It was an artificial planet, and a Star Fortress in its own right.
The spaceship slowly approached the Assembly Star.
Following the guidance signals, it entered a docking port within.
Whoosh!
As soon as Yang Zheng disembarked, he casually stored the spaceship in his internal world. Just then, a man in black standard-issue battle armor approached.
"Hello, I'm a staff member here," the armored man said with a smile. "Did you apply to explore a Cosmic Secret Realm?"
"Yes." Yang Zheng nodded.
"Then please follow me!" The armored man led Yang Zheng toward another corridor as he spoke. "The Cosmic Army arrives in organized groups, while independent explorers all take this passage to the assembly area."
Exploring Cosmic Secret Realms was not a privilege reserved for the five major factions' Core Members. Any human who had reached the World Lord Level was eligible to apply.
And besides independent explorers,
there were also teams of World Lords, and even armies composed of World Lords, that ventured inside.
After traveling nearly a hundred kilometers along the corridor, they arrived at an enormous plaza covered by a transparent dome. More than ten thousand people had already gathered there, but the plaza was over a hundred kilometers across.
Even with so many people, it still looked sparsely populated.
Yang Zheng headed to a corner of the plaza, where many alloy benches stood, and chose a seat at random.
Time passed.
Two days went by in the blink of an eye, and all the explorers registered in the Virtual Universe's exploration plane had arrived.
