Chapter 91

The audience watched the spectacle, but more importantly, they were worried about the contestants' future.

The prides of each empire had encountered their first ferocious beast, which was stronger than all of them.

The person named Gong Sun Murong had such a powerful weapon in his hands.

The intelligence departments of each empire began to operate, sending people to the Rexlar Empire or activating the people they had planted here.

They wanted to know where such a weapon was developed, and if it could be mass-produced, the future of the Lanskent continent would belong to the Rexlar Empire.

Emperor Rexlar was not in a hurry, letting the spies from other countries do their work.

If such a sharp weapon could be manufactured, it would have been mass-produced long ago.

Moreover, he knew that for Gong Sun Murong and his companion, almost all the information was right there.

This was a good opportunity to gather information about the spies hidden by other countries.

******

A group of contestants had surrounded the ferocious beast in the underground lake. The beast was already dead, its head struck, and the central nervous system in its brain destroyed.

The massive body floated on the water, rising and falling with the waves.

The contestants searched hard for the beast's crystal core but found nothing.

There was nothing, no crystal core, not even the special structure where a crystal core would form.

The contestants refused to believe this fact. Without a crystal core, why was the beast's attack so powerful?

Ferocious beasts below level five might not have a crystal core, but that didn't mean they definitely didn't have one. They had the structure to produce a crystal core.

If they could gain an unexpected boost, they would have a crystal core.

The beast in front of them was at least an eighth-level mage, yet it didn't even have the structure.

It seemed to defy the rules.

The contestants couldn't figure it out, so they decided to take the beast's body materials.

The skin, bones, teeth, meat, and organs of the beast might all be valuable.

So the contestants started to cut up the beast, working for over two hours. Each person ended up with a large package, made from the beast's skin, containing meat and bones.

Even so, two-thirds of the materials could not be collected.

Gong Sun Murong thought for a moment and then collected the remaining one-third. He still had space in his storage.

Now it was almost full.

If they couldn't find other food later, they could use the beast's meat. If they found better things, they could throw out some of the less useful items to make room.

The other contestants watched Gong Sun Murong store so much and started to estimate the size of his storage space.

What a great thing, who wouldn't want a storage space? It would be very convenient for traveling, and more importantly, it would allow them to carry more weapons.

They wouldn't have to worry about carrying heavy items or losing things.

If they had a larger storage space, they could even store a battle mage ship... but that was a dream.

Of course, for the contestants, it was a dream, but not for Nalasha.

She was still working hard to improve her strength. As her strength increased, her equipment would also improve.

Her dream was to one day be able to carry her home with her.

After dealing with the beast, the team decided not to move forward. The underground river led to the underground lake, which would connect to other underground rivers.

Following the underground river, who knew where they would end up or if there was a way out?

After a brief discussion, they decided to dig upward to see what was above.

This task was still given to the earth mage.

Gong Sun Murong also introduced his weapon, saying it could launch two more attacks before it would be useless.

His words made the contestants, who had just gained some confidence, disappointed again.

They had thought that having a powerful weapon would solve all their problems.

When they saw that the energy display had decreased by one-third, they began to worry about what would happen next.

Gong Sun Murong didn't want the contestants to become overly dependent on him. That would make them lose their vigilance and sense of urgency, which would be detrimental to their personal growth and the team.

After a short while, they dug through the top. Digging from above was easier.

Sunlight shone down, and it was still not night here.

Nalasha flew up first to scout and returned happily, announcing that they were still surrounded by yellow earth.

But in the distance, they could see green mountains.

After the contestants cheered, they brought the remaining one-third of the beast up. They could eat insects, but that didn't mean they liked to.

Seven hundred and ten people emerged and indeed saw the distant mountains.

It was still daytime, but it was not the same sun. The contestants realized that this place had no night, only day.

Nalasha and Gong Sun Murong realized they had left their original planet. Otherwise, how could they explain the issue with the star? Unless it was an artificial sun.

If they had changed planets, could they find their way back?

If they couldn't find their way back and couldn't gather the fifteen important parts, how could they help Linda repair the ship and soar through the universe?

Nalasha's ruins and Gong Sun Murong's life pod were still there.

"We can only work hard to cultivate," Gong Sun Murong said, looking at the sun in the sky.

Nalasha nodded.

Cultivating the Fuxi Decree to the full nine levels and eighteen layers would allow them to fly in space using their bodies.

There were also higher-level cultivation techniques.

But how long would that take? A hundred years? Two hundred years? Even longer.

The two of them had always hoped for a stroke of luck that would allow them to leave the planet and freely search for Gong Sun Murong's way home within a few decades.

Relying on their physical bodies to travel through space would be too difficult.

Soon, more contestants realized the same problem: they were not on their original planet.

Where was their home? How could they return?

The audience, with the help of someone explaining, also understood the situation the contestants faced. Would they have to live in another place forever?

"There must be a way. Let's go to the green area and see," Gong Sun Murong said, not losing hope.

He didn't care if they couldn't find their way back immediately. He still had the option to cultivate, even if it took longer.

Having a trump card made him more relaxed than those without one.

Nalasha cared even less. She had no family, and her only true family was Gong Sun Murong. Being with him, wherever they went, was fine for her.

As for the gathered adventurers and their families, he believed that if they worked hard to cultivate, they would live well as long as no one deliberately attacked them.

Their connection to their home was not yet strong.

Looking at the mountains, even flying, was tiring.

The contestants, who had not rested much, flew toward the mountains. After two hours, they had to stop to rest.

To sleep.

They couldn't overexert their mental energy.

If they immediately faced a battle after arriving, their reduced combat power could cost them their lives.

The contestants took turns on watch, ate, and slept on the yellow earth.

The audience also took the opportunity to rest. Some people volunteered to watch the screen and wake others when the contestants set out again.

The scene on the screen was monotonous, with nothing much to see.

The commentator, Harun Harry, also slowed his speech, speaking intermittently.

"The contestants from each empire have encountered trouble. According to our estimates, they are no longer on our current planet.

In the past and now, we have always strived to find a way to escape the planet's gravity, to explore the vast starry sky, to conquer nature, to fly higher and farther.

Now, someone has taken the first step. They have reached another planet. Is this the realization of generations of dreams? No, our dream is not just to stand on a planet, but to travel freely between planets.

In other words, we want to master and conquer, not to be passively transported.

Seeing the contestants' current state, I have never felt as urgently the need for powerful strength, the power to control our own destiny.

They are geniuses, but even geniuses have their limits. Therefore, I hope more people will take action, for ourselves and our descendants, to research technology and find ways to improve ourselves.

Not to waste resources on internal conflicts on the continent. I know war is the driving force for the survival and development of our race. From the moment of birth, we all face competition. But can't we change this?

The screen shows not only the contestants' helplessness but also the helplessness of the entire Lanskent continent.

The teleportation gate and the display screen on the cliff prove that there is a race more powerful than us.

Perhaps they are watching us, just as we watch ants on the ground. But we are not ants. We can look up. Is that race looking down? Let my gaze meet theirs.

It's almost dawn. I need to rest. I will pray for them in my dreams, hoping that the contestants will remain strong no matter what they face. In my heart, you are the best. Good night!"

In the competition arena of the Rexlar Empire's capital, countless people listened to the commentator's voice, looking up at the sky together.

They hoped the contestants would persevere and not lose confidence.

They wondered if Gong Sun Murong could give the contestants hope again.

Ten hours passed.

Gong Sun Murong gave the audience an answer with his actions.

After a full rest, he started making food as soon as he woke up.

He hummed a cheerful tune and happily cooked the beast's meat into delicious dishes.

He was like a hotel chef, happily working on a new day.

Nalasha, like a happy little bird, wore a white dress and peeked into each pot, occasionally sniffing and praising her Murong brother.

She even used spatial movement to go to the mountains, gather wild vegetables, and after checking that they were not poisonous, added some green vegetables for the contestants.

The contestants on watch were also attracted and gathered around the pots, chatting and laughing.

The audience's hearts were filled with sunshine and strength. Life should be this happy, no matter what they faced.
