"Yes, and very soon. If you can't reach the nearest Arc Thirty-Nine Star System quickly, you'll also be affected by this rule change. How long it will take to get out then will depend on luck."

As the Copper Coin Dragon spoke, it glanced at the Guapilong.

"I don't know if you can get out, big guy, but this guy's definitely going to be buried there."

"No, why do you look down on me like that? What if I'm a genius, one in a million? I'm just pretending to be useless most of the time, but when it really matters..."

This extremely childish and immature speech was ultimately not finished; halfway through, a hand was already shoved into the Guapilong's mouth.

"When it really comes down to it, you're still a complete waste."

The Copper Coin Dragon showed no mercy, grabbing its neck and shaking it a few times.

"I... am not... a..."

The dizzy, shaky Guapilong was still slurring its words; judging by its appearance, it was truly terrifying.

You know what, it's true. If this guy were affected by the dynastic change, who knows if he'd turn into popcorn the moment he stepped in.

It seems necessary to install a small protective device for it first, at least to make it a little more resilient.

Food was the priority on their itinerary. As the border between the two realms, Half City naturally had a variety of rare ingredients. With the personal hospitality of the Copper Coin Dragon, Li Xingkong and the Guapilong spent the entire afternoon enjoying their meal.

From seemingly normal large pieces of meat and fresh fruits and vegetables to eyeballs that would make your blood boil, and even some extremely strong-flavored raw snacks, the two of them tried them all, even while holding their throats.

It has to be said that the flavor is quite unique, but many of the ingredients are unbearable for some.

Li Xingkong was alright; he had strong enough control over his body, so the food he ate was digested before it even entered his stomach. But Guapilong was a different story.

Even after finishing its meal, it was still rolling around in its stomach, clutching its belly, because the previous dish had been swallowed whole. The food was still struggling inside its stomach for a while before it could settle down.

If it weren't for Copper Coin Dragon's strong recommendation, Li Xingkong would never have put this thing in his mouth.

"Next, you have two options: you can go to the observation deck to observe the anomalies of the entire World Wall, or you can venture a little deeper into the World Wall, within a safe area, to experience the changes in the rules."

Li Xingkong and Guapilong exchanged a glance, Guapilong slammed his hand on the table.

"Get World Wall, get out of World Wall! It's time for my buddies to show you what real strength is."

Li Xingkong was quite taken aback. Given this guy's personality, he should have gone to see the scenery first. Why was he acting like a completely different person?

However, since it had already made its decision, Li Xingkong didn't raise any further objections. As for the World Wall, well, let's go take a look.

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Copper Coin Dragon immediately confirmed the itinerary.

The World Wall is very wide and has no clear boundary. The so-called boundary is actually artificially defined. If you just wander around the edge of the World Wall, the danger is not that great.

This naturally gave rise to a new form of entertainment: marching into the World Wall. It was a competition to see who could go as far inside the World Wall as possible while ensuring safety.

In this Half City, this kind of entertainment is not much different from roulette. After all, the body can collapse in an instant. One step may be full of energy, and the next step may leave you unable to stand.

Moreover, in such places, timely rescue is practically impossible. Once you fall, you either get lucky and crawl out on your own, or you disintegrate into countless pieces of Flesh and Blood, embedded in the World Wall.

Because this activity cannot be manipulated in a certain sense, it once became the most popular form of entertainment in Half City.

After all, all a person can do is modify their own body; they can't really modify the World Wall. If you had that technology, it would be too stupid to use it for gambling.

Li Xingkong and his group arrived at the promenade belonging to the Deep River Dragon Clan.

It is located on the edge of Half City, and also on the edge of this half of the planet.

Looking out, the endless World Wall stretched before me; looking down, the smooth, flat cross-section resembled a bottomless abyss, making one want to take a few steps back.

Many people were already inside the World Wall, but the way they moved was rather unsightly; with a rope tied around their waists, they were groping their way forward inch by inch.

It looked just like a baby who had just learned to walk, every movement was hesitant and timid, as if it were under immense pressure.

Perhaps because it was their first time there, a few guys who clearly looked disdainful were obviously getting restless.

If you're a man, just go for it! What are you dawdling about?

Without even tying a rope, perhaps overconfident in his armor, he charged out in just a few steps.

The armor was indeed strong enough and of good quality, but his own body wasn't so strong.

After rushing several hundred meters, the man exploded with a loud bang.

Because of the armor covering the view, the scene wasn't too gory. In Li Xingkong's view, it looked more like a well-developed canning process.

Hmm, that idea is a bit too regional.

The "canned food" left behind by the man was quickly dragged back. The man was no longer human; he looked like nothing more than a pile of Flesh and Blood and flesh.

Guapilong had clearly never seen anything like this before, and he stood at the doorway, refusing to take another step forward.

Before it came in, it boasted that it would never bring shame to the Deep River Dragon Clan, but at this moment, it wished it could swallow all the words it had said.

This scene was a bit too exciting.

No, we agreed to come for a visit, and we weren't told that something like this would happen. This bloody scene is really quite disturbing.

"Dude, maybe we should just call it quits..."

Before Guapilong could finish speaking, Li Xingkong had already stepped forward.

The moment Li Xingkong stepped onto the walking area, he felt the world around him undergo a dramatic transformation.

Space was still space, and the environment was still the same, but Li Xingkong keenly sensed that something had been subtly shifted, and his body was experiencing some long-forgotten discomfort.

It feels like motion sickness?

Li Xingkong found it difficult to describe this feeling.

Li Xingkong expanded his Divine Sense and began a detailed analysis of his surroundings. Soon, he discovered the source of the problem.

The threshold for the speed of light has changed! Similarly, the bracelet on my wrist also issued a notification, indicating that the circumference value here has also changed slightly, which has led to a series of other rule changes.

Actually, if it's just a simple change in the rules, then it's not a big deal. After all, gravity, temperature, light... countless underlying rules are constantly changing, and people have still managed to get through them.

The problem is that these rules are variables themselves, and organisms treat them as variables during evolution.

The changes we are encountering now are turning what should have been an absolutely unchanging fundamental aspect of a living organism into a variable.

This is very serious.
