Due to the turmoil in Otherworld No. Zero in recent months, a large number of soldiers and warriors have gone there to set up camp.
Thousand Streams Island, serving as a transit point, has become lively once again.
As Qin Ze passed over Thousand Streams Island, he saw dozens of cargo ships of various sizes docked in the bustling port.
There was a time when the entrance to the Blue Flame Realm was still there, and it wasn't any better.
Qin Ze didn't linger and headed straight for Otherworld No. Zero.
Soon, a huge circular artificial island came into view.
A large number of soldiers and heavy weapons were stationed on the island, completely surrounding the entrance to the Otherworld in the center.
After Qin Ze arrived above the roundabout, he released the aura of Level Nine Martial Artist.
A moment later, the impeccably dressed Grand Consul emerged from the void before him.
"I heard from Lao Dao that you're coming to Otherworld No. Zero. You're moving quite quickly." The Grand Consul sized Qin Ze up and down. "Not bad, you're showing signs of strength."
"You did a good job in the Northern Territory, crushing the Fairness Society's actions."
"If you were still a student back then, I would have given you a big red flower."
Qin Ze said calmly, "It's not too late now."
The Grand Consul's lips curled into a smile, "No problem, I'll have the logistics department send it over shortly."
"By the way, now is not a good time for you to enter the Otherworld No. Zero."
Qin Ze asked curiously, "What exactly happened inside?"
Although he had seen the Hunter in the chat group say that something was wrong in Otherworld No. Zero, everyone was still unclear about the specifics and no one had gone into the details.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Consul said in a deep voice, "Do you know there's a mountain in Otherworld No. Zero?"
Qin Ze nodded.
The Grand Consul is not surprised; everyone has their own secrets.
Qin Ze has far too many secrets.
The Grand Consul continued, "It's less a mountain and more a pile of corpses."
"The area around that mountain of corpses is extremely Corruption; even I, in my current state, cannot stay there for long."
"However, during my recent exploration, I saw two people on that mountain, sheltered by an umbrella."
The Grand Consul paid special attention to the expression on Qin Ze's face.
Unfortunately, his expression didn't change.
"Since I can't go up the mountain, I can't confirm the identities of those two people."
"I originally planned to put this matter aside for the time being, until one day the Constellations appeared near the Corpse Mountain, and they were unaffected by the Corruption."
"Ever since they appeared, that mountain has been collapsing every few days, and the horde of Wandering Corpse is comparable in size to a beast tide."
" The Otherworld No. Zero is too big. As soon as I enter, they'll play guerrilla warfare with me."
"Left with no other option, I had to send men to block the door, hoping to find a way to trap them like turtles in a jar."
Qin Ze learned the whole story from the Grand Consul.
Unsurprisingly, Aquarius are heading towards God of the Underworld.
God of the Underworld is most likely also a Resonator.
After absorbing the essence of the Jiuyou, the guild leader is now ready to challenge the God of the Underworld.
As for Aquarius being able to avoid Corruption, it's most likely due to the president's influence.
Qin Ze said, "I want to go up the mountain to take a look."
The Grand Consul frowned slightly. "You want to climb a mountain?"
"There was a landslide this morning, you'd better think this through."
Qin Ze nodded. "The answers to some questions can only be found at the mountaintop."
Seeing that Qin Ze was determined to leave, the Grand Consul did not try to dissuade him further.
"Do you still have the Law Token I gave you?"
Qin Ze opened his palm, revealing a gleaming golden Law Token.
The Grand Consul said, "If you encounter Level Nine Constellations or problems you can't handle, activate the Law Token; I will sense it."
The Grand Consul lacked the means to circumvent Corruption and could not accompany Qin Ze, so he could only act as a "firefighter."
Qin Ze nodded. "I understand."
Even in the Sea Capital, the Great Summoning Spell is still useful.
The Grand Consul waved his hand. "Go ahead, but be careful."
Qin Ze bid farewell to the Grand Consul and then plunged into the dark gray spatial vortex.
The Grand Consul muttered, "These young people are getting more and more aggressive these days. I'm getting old, I'm getting old..."
With that, the Grand Consul stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly above the entrance.
The familiar gray fog rushed towards him again, and Qin Ze hurriedly used the Source of God to cleanse it.
The progress bar is not yet 100%, so the Source of God cannot completely isolate the Corruption of the Soul Breath.
Qin Ze noticed that the gray fog was much thicker than when he last came.
This place is clearly just near the entrance, yet the concentration of gray fog is almost the same as near the dilapidated temple where Miss Sword Case previously resided.
Qin Ze turned to the Miss Sword Case, and said, "We've arrived at your hometown."
Miss Sword Case muttered under her breath, "That's not my hometown."
With a "click," Miss Sword Case released Water Child and Fire Child.
The Second Child stood on either side of Qin Ze.
The two Five Elements Flying Swords echoed each other, forming a special field that enveloped Qin Ze.
The area isolated the gray fog, and Qin Ze instantly became unaware of the Corruption.
Miss Sword Case explained, "These two children are almost fully grown!"
"These two can now protect you from Corruption, so you no longer need me to protect you."
Qin Ze turned his head and noticed that the originally blue water-attribute flying sword had turned black. He asked in surprise, "Why did your child change color?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "When the Daoist priest with abundant water gave us the water-attribute flying sword, its power was already nearly exhausted, which is why it is light blue."
"The sword intent within has now recovered to about 70-80%, returning to its original black color."
Qin Ze nodded. No wonder the color was different from what he had seen in the illusion before.
With Second Child by his side, Qin Ze found it much easier to walk through the gray fog.
Following the direction he had taken before, he groped his way towards Underworld Mountain.
" Qin Ze, look! It's a stone!"
After walking a few miles, Miss Sword Case saw the World Stone and started shouting.
Qin Ze stepped on the brakes and landed in front of the World Stone.
Bang bang--
Qin Ze kicked twice. "Wake up."
"Damn it, who's the blind fool who disturbed my sleep?" Jie Shi started with a World Stone of polite remarks.
It's been a long time since I've seen it, World Stone is still the same low-quality World Stone.
"Huh? Sword Case, what brings you back?"
World Stone was very surprised to see Miss Sword Case.
Miss Sword Case flew up to it and proudly declared, "Returning home in wealth and honor is like walking at night in... what kind of clothes are you wearing!"
World Stone curiously, "But you're just Sword Case, you're not wearing any clothes."
Miss Sword Case was momentarily speechless, and after a long pause, she finally said, "You idiot stone, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
World Stone scoffed, "As if I wanted to talk to you."
"You rude two-legged creature, move aside, you're blocking my sun."
Qin Ze looked up and saw a dense, gray fog that blotted out the sky, but he still took two steps to the side.
"Stone, I have a question for you. Have any strange guys been wandering around around here lately?"
World Stone said Yangyang, "Aren't you two..."
