Earth.

Today is February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head.

It is a good day that all Chinese people think is good. Even though many people are not particularly clear about the meaning and origin of today, just hearing the name of this day will make people unable to help but look up from time to time and look at the sky, perhaps they can see something good happening.

Xiao Chen is one of these people. Although he was scolded by his agent yesterday and told that he was worse than a nanny as an assistant, it did not affect his positive mood and he could not help but raise his head from time to time.

Today I'm going to deliver a contract to his big star, some specially-issued movie tickets, and the freshest king salmon, Australian lobster, and black gold abalone, which his big star particularly likes. It's a seafood feast anyway. His big star loves fresh seafood and braised spare ribs the most!

Xiao Chen thought so as he walked briskly on the street, but after a few steps he suddenly froze.

"What kind of dream am I having? How could I possibly be the assistant of a superstar?"

What the hell are those king salmon, Australian lobster, and black abalone?! He's only with a male star who just got promoted to a third-tier star after starring in a sweet little drama. Why does he have the illusion that this male star has a godlike appearance and is extremely popular?

Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head looking at the sky. Well, this is probably what it means when you dream at night, you think about the same thing during the day!

He really wanted to work as a lackey for a powerful boss. He intuitively felt that it would be a very pleasant job with a little sweet burden but also very motivating.

"Well, then... I'll raise my head and make a wish to the Dragon God, hoping that I can become a superstar's personal assistant in the future!"

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky optimistically and made a wish.

Today's sky is blue with a few white clouds floating in it. It looks like a good day to fulfill your wishes.

Then, Xiao Chen was about to lower his head and continue walking towards the little star's house, but in the next second his whole body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened and he stared at a place in the sky in disbelief.

What is that?

Is that a giant crack in the sky?!

The original blue sky and white clouds were almost instantly stained with black, and then the clouds were blown away, and the blue sky was like a canvas that was suddenly torn in the middle, revealing the bottomless black behind the canvas.

Xiao Chen blinked hard, reached out to take off his glasses to look at the sky, then wiped his glasses carefully and put them back on to continue looking at the sky.

But no matter how he looked at it or from what angle, he could see that a huge black crack had indeed appeared in the sky. This crack was enough to make every human who saw it feel panic and anxiety.

"The sky... cracked?"

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

At this time, the humans on Earth who, like Xiao Chen, couldn't help but look up at the sky were all stunned in place as if the pause button had been pressed.

They stared blankly at the sky, not understanding why this happened. But when the huge crack appeared in the sky, every human who saw it couldn't help but feel an indescribable and extreme fear from the bottom of their hearts.

That was like an oppression from the sky.

Then, in just a few minutes, all the human beings on the earth raised their heads.

What is that?

Is something...about to appear?

A military research base in China.

The piercing, high-pitched sirens reached their peak as a massive, dark rift appeared in the sky. It was a warning of absolute danger, one that would pierce the eardrum without special headphones.

The communications soldier who was responsible for receiving signals at the research base looked extremely pale at this time.

Even though he had received countless signals and energy waves from outside the earth and the universe, which were imaginable or unimaginable to humans, in this special research base, when faced with such a sharp and long siren, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

But he tried to calm his mood and voice, even though it seemed to be of little use.

"Report... The sky energy alert that began sounding fifty-two hours ago has reached its peak. Breakthrough, the most powerful energy wave detected on Earth in a hundred years!"

"A massive space crack appeared in the sky, three thousand meters long and five hundred meters wide. If the crack continues to appear...

According to the latest calculations by the scientific research calculation team, if the cracks continue to appear, they will directly break through the earth's invisible energy barrier and may connect to another unknown... plane.

The risk assessment for the other plane is at the level of world destruction."

The communications soldier had great difficulty saying the last sentence.

He knew too well the meaning and horror of this sentence.

It is not as simple and easy as described in the novel, and it even comes with a golden finger that can lead to the peak of life.

It was a collision between worlds, cultures, and even all life in the two worlds.

If you are not careful, you will be completely shattered.

The other end of the line he was reporting to was silent for quite a long time after hearing his report, so much so that he had to report another urgent message in the middle.

"Half of the world's population has now seen the crack in the sky. China appears to be directly beneath it. People in every region of the country can see the crack in the sky."

And... today is the day when the dragon raises its head.

Unfortunately, when I looked up, I didn’t see the dragon, but I saw a road that might lead to another world.

In another place unknown to the communications guard, countless scientists were frantically discussing this huge crack in the sky.

There were fanatical explorers and rational and strongly opposed conservatives. They argued fiercely and each held his own opinion. Only the old man sitting at the top looked up at the picture displayed in the sky and remained silent.

More than ten minutes later, the old man seemed to have finally made the final decision. His finger was on the button of the communication microphone and was about to press it.

Suddenly, he saw on the screen showing the sky, the originally cracked sky began to slowly and slowly shrink the dark cracks, and finally the real picture of the blue sky and white clouds returned to its original beauty.

It was as if the black crack had never appeared.

"What happened? Why did the sky return to normal?"

"This energy field can't be a coincidence!"

"Where's the monitoring team? Keep monitoring the location of the sky crack! See if that violent energy wave is still there?"

The old man pressed the button anyway, but this time his decision did not need to carry the future of hundreds of millions of people. In his slightly hoarse voice, he asked about the energy waves.

Then they got an answer that wasn't particularly bad, but also not particularly good.

"Report! According to information from Beidou, Tianyan, Xingxiu, and other sources, although the crack in the sky is invisible to the naked eye, the surrounding chaotic energy waves have not disappeared."

Then the scientists started discussing quickly with different expressions, and the old man gave an order after a few minutes.

At noon that day, Xiao Chen saw scientific reports and explanations about the "huge crack" in the sky on his mobile phone and TV. Well, in short, it was the "expert" explanation of electromagnetic waves in the atmospheric energy field, visual deception, and rare natural phenomena, which made everyone who saw the crack curl their lips and roll their eyes.

But at least after seeing the explanation, the uneasy feeling and inexplicable pressure that had been there since I saw the crack were relieved.

Xiao Chen put away his phone and ordered a braised fish lunch box for the third-tier celebrity he brought with him. Then he couldn't help but look up and think about the superstar in his dream who loved king salmon and whom he could hug tightly.

The huge black crack was like a flash in the pan, and life on Earth continued to live its own peaceful time.

Weird world.

Wu Xiangwang was eating a huge strange fish that he had taken out of the kitchen.

This fish was recommended by Captain Mantis Shrimp's weird captain himself, and he personally tasted it and it tasted the most like salmon.

Moreover, every piece of sea fish in the strange world is filled with the delicious taste blessed by wild energy. King salmon, black abalone, king crab and Australian lobster are not as good as the seafood feast here.

Wu Xiangwang sighed uncomfortably while eating the sweet and smooth sashimi that melted in his mouth.

"When I think about never being able to eat such delicious fish again after returning to Earth, I can't help but feel sad."

Although the weird animals and plants here look much uglier than those on Earth, the more ferocious the off-road animals are, the more delicious they are!

Wu Xingyun and Liu Sha beside them nodded in agreement very seriously, with a slightly conflicted expression on their faces.

Not only is the seafood here delicious, but even the wild boar, pheasant and other game on the roadside are quite good.

Wang Xiao was pushing his glasses beside him, feeling a little helpless:

"Why don't you just stay and eat your fill?"

Suddenly Wu Xiangwang, Wu Xingyun and Liusha all looked at Wang Xiao with frightened expressions.

"Old Wang, how can you be so vicious? Are you trying to curse us to stay and turn into ghosts?"

"If I really can't go back, I won't let you go!"

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes. "Shut up! We're about to fly over the capital... How do you think the Prince of Wisdom will greet us or stop us?"

Wu Xiangwang's playful expression turned serious. He looked down at the magnificent city above the inland sea that was gradually emerging into a panoramic view below.

That is the strange royal capital.

It is the undeniable center of this world.

At the same time, it is also the final destination of their "journey".

This is a city that looks magnificent and golden when viewed from the sky, with tall buildings and palaces with pointed roofs.

It is also a city with a large number of strange and prosperous people, but also an extremely dangerous city.

In just the short time that Wu Xiangwang and the others looked down, Wu Xiangwang saw at least a dozen "flashes" of energy collisions exceeding level seven erupting in the city below. This meant that there were one or more monsters fighting or competing in strength in these dozen places.

These dozen or so flashing spots are spread across the entire city, which only shows the weirdness of this city. Many of them are above level seven in strength.

"...I think we don't need the Lord of Wisdom to intercept us personally. The ordinary weirdness in this city alone can stop us outside the city or make it difficult for us to move within the city."

The captain of the Gray Dot Guard, whose injuries had not yet fully recovered but who was determined to carry Wu Xiangwang down with them, listened to the whole conversation and at this time uttered two sneering noises of agreement.

"As expected, you are the strongest among humans! Wangwang, you are absolutely right."

After being rescued by Wu Xiangwang, Huidian became a staunch "Tsundere Wangwang fan". Specifically, he particularly admired and loved this human boss in his heart, and would unconsciously praise and defend him when speaking, but on the surface he would never admit that he worshipped a human.

"Since you've done something useful for our Sky City, I'll not only send you down for free, but I'll also tell you some important news about the capital for free."

"Don't mistake the Royal Capital for the same place as the Sky City or the Ocean City."

"Compared to the seven outer main cities, Sky City and Ocean City are of course overwhelmingly stronger. Besides the inherent geographical advantages of Sky and Ocean, Sky City is also home to the Sky Clan, while Ocean City is home to the Sea Clan. Therefore, the two cities aren't just 'unrelated oddities', but rather closely related races."

"Therefore, the strength of the Sky Clan and the Sea Clan is normal and inevitable."

"But Wangdu is different."

Gray Dot's voice was a little complicated at this moment, and there was a hint of reluctance:

"The capital is the strongest of the ten major cities."

"Even though Sky City and Ocean City are both the three main cities of the Inner City, their overall strength is not as strong as the Royal Capital."

"The strength of the Royal Capital isn't due to its location or race. It's simply the Royal Capital. It's a city where no water or compromise is added, and entry is based on strength."

"To enter the Royal Capital, the first and foremost requirement is to reach a high-level strength or be able to fight against high-level warriors.

In other words, only those with a level six or higher level of weirdness can enter the royal capital."

“Although those high-level monsters and human adventurers have some relatives, friends, servants, and subordinates who can be brought into the capital by the monsters or high-level adventurers, there is a limit on how many can be brought in.

Moreover, those strange creatures or humans who were brought into the royal capital and did not enter the royal capital by their own strength are not allowed to walk on the streets of the royal capital without permission.

Otherwise, if they are killed while walking on the streets, then the monsters or humans who killed them will not have to pay any price."

The gray dot flapped its wings and began to circle over the royal capital.

"I've been to the capital several times with my elder sister, and to be honest, I have a very bad feeling and impression of this place."

"This city's distinctions between classes are too clear, and strength is overly emphasized. Entering the city creates an inexplicable, overwhelming sense of pressure. After staying here for too long, the sole purpose of living seems to be to become stronger and stronger, or to become stronger and then wreak havoc and wreak havoc."

"I think there's something wrong with this city."

"But maybe the monsters in the capital think there's something wrong with us, the Kong Clan. Anyway, all the monsters in the capital are very powerful, arrogant, and murderous. The rules here are also very strict. If you go down there, you'd better be careful."

"I suggest you don't enter the capital directly through the main gate. After all, the pass is just a superficial 'credential' and won't actually have much effect on whether you can return to Earth.

The rule that you have to go through ten cities before returning to Earth... is just an agreement made from the beginning between the King of Wisdom and the first humans to arrive.

As time went on and more and more people followed it, it seemed to have become an iron law recognized by both humans and the weird.

This agreement gradually changed to become increasingly unfavorable to humans in the later period, but in fact, this rule was beneficial to humans in the beginning.

After all, even if one is lucky enough to survive the Outer Seven Cities safely, if one does not have sufficient strength, the final outcome for all humans who come to the royal capital will surely be death.

There was no 100% fatality rate without any accidents.”

"After all, just walking within the royal capital requires strength exceeding level six."

The gray dot circled a few more times, then set its sights on a forest of giant trees on the edge of the royal capital and flew towards that direction with its wings flapping. Opposite the forest was the tall corner tower of the royal capital.

As long as one has a strong enough power to break through space, one can easily jump directly from the forest to the corner tower and enter the royal capital from this place.

"That's why I told you not to go in through the city gate. If you go in, you might find a weirdo every three steps and a group of them every five steps looking for trouble with you, fighting with you and trying to get something out of you."

"You will be constantly harassed and exhausted, with no time for yourself. Worse still, you might even get injured or even killed in the relentless battles. Ultimately, you won't be able to reach the King's Palace or witness the Round Table Conference."

"Even if you run fast enough, you will never be able to outrun the local weirdos in the capital. The Round Table Conference is a grand event that only happens once every century in the entire weird world. It can even be said that this conference can determine the future of the entire weird world.

Therefore, once the round table meeting begins, the area surrounding the King's Palace will inevitably be surrounded by dozens of layers of spectators, both inside and outside, and it will feel strange."

Gray Dot chuckled with a hint of gloating at this moment. "Just think about it. You'll have to squeeze through dozens of levels of seventh-level or higher weirdos to observe the meeting. Believe me, you'll definitely be discovered and overwhelmed by all the weirdos."

Wu Xiangwang was eating the last piece of sashimi at this time, and suddenly he felt a little blocked and greasy.

But he still had the nerve to swallow the piece of sashimi, and then patted his gray neck feathers.

"If that's the case, then we won't be able to see anything from the round table discussion at all?"

Huiyu rushed into the dense forest next to the corner tower of the city, and finally squatted steadily on a giant tree. Opposite him was the royal capital.

He puffed out his chest proudly at this moment: "This is when our powerful Sky Clan comes into play!!"

"Well, since you are my savior, I can give you an 'Eagle Eye'."

"This is a super-long-range observation treasure unique to our Sky Clan. It can clearly see all locked targets within ten thousand meters."

Gray Dot said this and used the tip of his wing to pull out a crystal gem that looked very much like a real eagle's eye from under his elbow.

He looked very reluctant, but in the end he handed it directly to Wu Xiangwang.

"This must be the 'Eagle Eye Stone' refined from my father or mother's eyes. It was hidden in my chest hair when my sister picked me up."

"Now that you need it, I'll give it to you. No need to be so hypocritical with me! And you absolutely cannot refuse it! There has never been a gift offered by our Sky Clan that was not accepted!"

Gray Spot scratched his paws a little embarrassedly: "Well, well, this can barely be considered a... gift."

"Although humans are very weak, troublesome, and prone to scheming, you are a pretty good person."

Gray Dot never thought that he would one day become friends with a human.

But if that person is Wu Xiangwang, He thought, having one more friend would also be a happy thing for Guiyi.

Wu Xiangwang looked at the Eagle Eye Gem and blinked, then he laughed.

After thinking about it, he took out a super clear photo taken by Tiantian Guiyi himself from his shell space, then asked Wang Xiao for a pen and signed his name directly on the photo.

That is a proper photo with a special signature.

"I don't have anything good to offer in return, so I'll give you this autographed photo."

Gray Dot's expression suddenly became very complicated.

This is probably the first time I've seen someone so narcissistic and yet so confident about it.

Well, this is really special for the Kong clan.

Wu Xiangwang looked at the complicated expression on Gray-Dot Bird's face and raised his eyebrows. "Believe me, if this autographed photo were in our world, it would be madly fought over by at least hundreds of thousands of people. If you meet a particularly crazy and obsessed sucker, cough, a true fan, you might even be able to buy a house!"

Gray Dot looked shocked.

Is this Wu Xiangwang such a powerful figure on Earth?

Gray Dot blinked, and finally put the photo away.

Well, He didn't have any other ideas, just wanted to leave a souvenir among friends.

Then the gray dot flapped its wings behind Wu Xiangwang in a graceful manner and flew directly into the sky.

Perhaps they will never see each other again, but all that they have experienced will remain in the sea of memory and become another eternity.

Looking at the huge eagle circling in the sky, which was completely different from the one on Earth, Wu Xiangwang thought that every time he looked up in the future, he would think of the "sky" of this other world.

Just as he looked up, another change suddenly occurred in the sky above the royal capital.

It was a change so powerful that all the strange things in the capital reared their heads in alarm, the winds around the capital changed shape, and the oceans surrounding the capital surged with huge waves.

First, three strange figures came from the southwest and northeast.

The tall and strange man coming from the southwest had goat horns on his head, a lion's tail behind him, and his brown hair was tied up high. Every step he took was accompanied by a faint lion's roar.

Behind him followed a strange figure with a cold face and a scorpion tail. His robe was extremely gorgeous. When you looked at it for a long time, you would feel as if you were being watched by countless pairs of eyes.

In the city of carnival, the city lord [Belos] has arrived.

However, the strange creature that came from the northeast was wearing a natural flower crown, and flowers bloomed under its feet with every step it took, which was beautiful beyond words.

In the city of nature, the lord [Spring] arrives.

Then soon the blossoms brought by spring were covered by countless white ice and snow destructions—

A white figure came flying from the south. With its arrival, a white blizzard suddenly appeared in the sky. The powerful force of ice and snow even froze the surrounding sea surface into ice.

In the city of peace and happiness, the city lord [Snow] arrives.

Before all the weird things could recover from the ice and snow, the whole honest earth began to shake. With a powerful roar, a huge gorilla baboon appeared in front of the gate of the royal capital.

In the city of secret rooms, the city lord [Baboon Afu] arrives.

Then, endless darkness suddenly covered the entire royal capital, and countless monsters began to feel fear.

That was the silent arrival of fear.

But soon the darkness was illuminated by the sudden light from the sky. A golden bird swooped down from the sky, chirping. Above the bird stood a white figure.

In the city in the sky, the leader [Qingkong] arrives.

As the sky lit up, the frozen ocean shattered, and huge waves hundreds of meters high almost covered the golden walls of the royal capital. On top of the blue waves, a huge mantis shrimp stood with its claws raised and its fangs bared.

In the Ocean City, the leader [Pi Da] arrives.

And [Destiny] has already been sitting on the high tower, witnessing this fateful gathering.

"Everyone! The King's Palace is now open. Please take your seats."

That is an invitation from Wisdom.
