"Okay, this way then."
Li Xingkong pointed to that cold, eerie light, Guapilong randomly steered the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds toward it.
"Stop! Stop!"
Seeing that Li Xingkong remained unmoved and still chose one of the paths to proceed, the spaceship behind them disregarded maintaining a safe distance and instead accelerated towards the location of the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds.
It figured it out; this ship was clearly a novice, and this must be its first time World Wall. It was really bold.
How so?
Guapilong glanced at Li Xingkong.
"Since it's a good deed, there's no reason for someone to give their heart away for nothing."
Li Xingkong stretched out a hand, his Divine Sense condensing into a giant hand.
He had no intention of engaging in a verbal dispute with the other party. With a thought, a giant, tangible hand of Divine Sense grasped the approaching ship at its fingertips.
As the giant hand reached out, the people on the ship clearly panicked, stopped abruptly, and then prepared to launch an attack. Unfortunately, before they were ready, the Magic Power giant hand had already gripped the entire ship. Then it dragged the ship forward, past the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds, past the fork in the road, and directly led them onto the correct path.
As the two ships passed each other, Li Xingkong glanced at the other ship. There weren't many people on the merchant ship, just a small team, which seemed to have been transferred from a mercenary group.
The cargo on the ship was also quite ordinary, mostly mainland goods. According to Li Xingkong's rudimentary understanding, even if these things were brought over, they wouldn't fetch a high price, and he might not even be able to recoup his costs.
Well then, since he's a good person, I'll lend him a hand one more time.
Li Xingkong is generous in rewarding kind people, even if that kindness doesn't benefit him personally, it's still worth encouraging.
Li Xingkong took some of the things prepared by the Copper Coin Dragon from his own ship, and with a flick of his finger, a spatial rift opened, and the goods were thrown directly onto the ship opposite.
Having thrown the ship onto the right path, the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds also turned around and embarked on another path, heading towards the end of the light.
On another ship, the few people gathered in the command cabin looked utterly dejected.
"Holy crap, what was that just now?"
The middle-aged man who looked like a soldier at the head of the group slumped in his seat, his trembling hand reaching out to wipe the sweat from his brow. He felt that even his armor couldn't bring him any sense of security.
"Such big hands..."
The woman sitting next to him was also clutching her chest, looking horrified.
When they were caught, they thought they were going to be used as scouts. After all, that's how people who crossed the World Wall did it before. When they encountered a fork in the road, they could only choose two people to go one way and risk their lives to find the right one.
The owner of that giant hand clearly didn't think that way; he believed that throwing them here was indeed the right path, as evidenced by the fact that the spaceship and they themselves were still alive.
They were indeed thrown onto the right path; instead, the ship turned abruptly onto another path, a wrong one.
"No, why?"
The man lying on the floor still seemed a little confused; it appeared he was the team's ranged damage dealer.
"Maybe we really ran into a big shot... Do you guys remember how that ship appeared?"
Before they could even recover from that state, a man had already stood in front of the control panel at the bow of the ship. Although his legs were still shaking, at least he looked much better.
"It just suddenly appeared on the shipping lane, as if it had popped out of thin air."
The group reminisced for a moment.
"No, look here. We've seen other lights before."
The man opened the spaceship's record and pulled it back. As they were traveling, there was indeed a light coming from a distance, but the light was completely different from the road, so they didn't notice it.
"So... the people on that ship were actually from the Kingdom of Fixed Light?"
Some have already made bold guesses.
"Wow, that's a real big shot! They're like a dragon, rarely seen, and we just happened to run into them."
"Forget about it. We can't afford to say anything about a big shot like that. Go, those two cannon fodder in the warehouse are lucky. Untie them and take them some food."
"Sigh, thank goodness they were ahead. If they knew we kidnapped people to scout ahead, I wonder what they'd think..."
"What do you mean, 'whatever you think'? We've kidnapped some notorious villains; we're too busy rewarding them."
"Let's get going as soon as possible; there are people waiting for us."
"You're talking about things happening Period of Change, are any of us even capable of getting involved...?"
"It's best to get this done before the Period of Change begins, otherwise it will be too late."
"What do you think we'll see? A beam of light, coming from who-knows-where? Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Guapilong was quite excited as he sailed the boat.
This time, instead of using the Earth-Traversing Golden Light, it drives the ship itself, so the magical changes brought about by this shift in rules are felt even more vividly.
In its eyes, Li Xingkong was gradually losing his sense of reality, and instead, a strange art style was gradually filling its field of vision.
It's like you've stepped into an animation.
The closer you get to the light source, the brighter the light becomes. As the spaceship travels further back, the surrounding light turns into a blinding white, so intense that even the starry sky becomes almost invisible.
"It's so bright!"
Guapilong covered his eyes, and Li Xingkong also squinted. So far, his Divine Sense had not detected anything unusual.
The next second, it felt as if he had stepped into empty space. Li Xingkong clearly felt the entire spaceship pass through a space, and the violent shaking caused the spaceship to lose control and plummet downwards.
Li Xingkong should have been able to control himself, but he wasn't.
He was captivated by the abrupt change in the scene before him.
One second they were swimming in space, the next they were in this strange world.
Yes, that's right, it's a world, a complete, logically consistent world, just like an anime world.
This peculiar scene transition captured most of Li Xingkong's attention, naturally causing him to somewhat neglect the control of the spaceship.
He instinctively pulled the Guapilong close to him, completely absorbed in exploring this new and wondrous world.
This is a magical world!
Li Xingkong's Divine Sense immediately swept across the continent beneath his feet. The numerous uniquely styled buildings, the life forms that were remarkably similar to humans, the lush vegetation, and the realistic villages and towns beneath his feet all made Li Xingkong feel an unparalleled sense of reality.
However, this is clearly incorrect; there is almost no life within the World Wall, let alone civilization.
So, what exactly is it?
