The Land of Ruins
After being informed of the specific location of their investigation, Shen Hui and his group arrived at the edge of the five major cities.
Here, towering walls stretch endlessly to both sides, reaching the horizon.
The wind and sun have left traces of time on the wall surface, and you can walk on the somewhat crumbling steps.
Shen Hui and his group arrived at the top of the high wall.
It was the first time anyone had ever been to the outskirts of the city.
The world Shen Hui and his companions lived in was certainly not just the size of the five major regions; in fact, it could be said that the area of the five major regions was very small compared to the world itself.
As for why... Shen Hui, standing atop the high wall, gazed into the distance.
The earth, red or purple, was stained with something, and was completely bare, devoid of any vegetation.
The ruins of the city, representing the concrete jungle, are piled up on top.
The space is filled with broken traces and cracks, with chaos flowing through it, sometimes even overflowing.
The first time I saw this devastated space, filled with various spatial cracks, a shattered void.
Shen Hui couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this what happened when the alien creatures invaded at the very beginning?"
Others echoed, "We never imagined it would cause irreparable damage to our world."
"This place has been forgotten. If we hadn't come here today, we would have completely forgotten that such a place even exists."
"This is the battlefield where our ancestors fought bravely. It is also thanks to the world we live in that we were able to resist."
This place is located at the intersection of the five major urban areas and the Land of Ruins.
Those ruins are the earliest cities in this world.
Later, due to the outbreak of alien races, various destructive forces caused by the war between the creators spread throughout this world.
As a result, as we see now, there are spatial rifts everywhere, making it impossible to survive.
So gradually, humans retreated to the five major cities that were later established.
Moreover, because this place is riddled with spatial rifts, there are always flowing chaotic currents.
Let alone the fact that we didn't have the ability to create Creation World in the Real World before.
Even if we could control it, we wouldn't dare to expand it, because the space here is extremely unstable.
A spatial collapse is inevitable, causing damage to its own Creation World.
The same applies if you touch these spatial rifts.
Therefore, it is necessary to go and investigate in person; otherwise, you can simply use the Creation World to enclose this area.
"The place we're investigating should be the one we go down through the passage ahead, right?"
Someone pointed to a downward passage about a hundred meters ahead.
Everyone started walking in that direction.
Their base of operations for this investigation was Land of Ruins.
However, it's not on the ground, but underground.
The old sewers and various underground air defense projects are still there.
The area should not be significantly affected, so it is very likely that the Laughing Moon Cult's stronghold is located there.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the passage, it was pitch black inside, with only a downward staircase visible.
Everyone looked at each other; no one was willing to take the lead.
At this moment, Zhuge Hongjing spoke up, "Why don't we all enter Creator mode? That way, we can react immediately if there's any danger inside."
Unlike Shen Hui's Perfect Creator Form, they need to expend a considerable amount of mental energy to maintain their Creator Form.
But at that moment, everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone transformed into their Creator Form, unleashing a surge of various powers.
Their body parts all underwent certain morphological changes that aligned with the Creation World.
When it was Shen Hui and Zhiyue's turn, they naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Zhiyue has an angelic and holy form, while Shen Hui has a chaotic form full of death and grotesqueness.
Moreover, Shen Hui's current appearance as the Creator has changed considerably from before.
All of these are based on the expansion of the worldview of the Death World and the changes in the form of creations.
Both are in the Creator Form, which greatly enhances their perception and physical strength.
Some people, having seen the situation in the darkness, began to actively walk downwards.
One by one, people walked inside. After Zhiyue went in, only Shen Hui, who was at the very end of the line, remained.
But just as Shen Hui was about to go inside, a colorful ball of light on his arm suddenly detached and transformed into Raven.
The other party spoke in a human voice, saying, "Play, play, play here."
Shen Hui glanced at it; its detachment didn't seem to have much of an impact on him.
"Shen Hui, why aren't you coming down yet?"
Zhiyue was in front of Shen Hui, turned around and asked.
Shen Hui ignored the Raven; that creature was incredibly cunning, otherwise it wouldn't have swallowed his own Star Core before.
Even if he died, Shen Hui wouldn't feel sorry for him.
Shen Hui began to walk downhill. The environment here was dark and damp, and the steps were covered with moss.
As you continue down, the steps become wider and wider.
When they reached a point near the ground, there was a small space inside a high wall.
There are various decaying and rotten objects here, indicating that this place was originally inhabited.
However, as the struggle shifted from the world to the Sea of Stars, this place was left unguarded.
"Look around, there should be a door here leading to the old city's underground passage."
The ten people began searching, Ye Long suddenly exclaimed, "Found it! It's here!"
Everyone looked over, Ye Long cleared away a pile of debris on the ground, revealing an iron gate.
Pull it apart, and you'll find another downward passage.
Everyone started descending again, and after falling more than ten meters, they reached the bottom, where the passage began to extend forward.
The circular passageway was filled with seeping rainwater.
It looks like a former drainage channel.
Some people even had to duck to get through.
As they set off again along the passage, someone ahead called out, "Be careful! There are spatial rifts here too. Don't get caught in the blast, or you'll be swallowed up by the chaotic currents."
The people in front moved forward little by little, and when it was Shen Hui's turn, he also saw that the space in front of him had a shattered feel, like glass.
A pitch-black crack hung suspended in the air.
Shen Hui sidestepped and continued forward.
This time they advanced for several kilometers, and some people started complaining that the mission was too ridiculous.
How could there possibly be any Laughing Moon Cult organization here?
The passage ahead suddenly widened and opened up into a bright and spacious area.
"There are indeed traces here. Look around; there are even signs that it has been dug up since then!"
Someone shouted excitedly; clearly, they had found the right place.
In some places, the stone walls were indeed damaged, and a lot of soil behind them was dug out.
The space here is spacious, so there's no need to queue.
Shen Hui examined the surrounding area and quickly discovered burning materials on the walls.
