The last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon.

The sky was completely black and silent, with not a single star in sight.

The earth seemed to glow, brighter at lower elevations and darker at higher elevations.

The group remained silent as they walked along the central avenue of the palace, led by a maid.

Xiao He silently surveyed her surroundings, while Rose stayed close to her out of fear.

"The Origin Continent is indeed very strange." Xiao He looked up at the sky again.

Compared to other continents, the Origin Continent has a fantastical feel that seems out of place in reality.

The angle of light and shadow here is quite strange.

There will be absolutely no shadows on the ground, because shadows are always projected upwards.

This suggests that the "light source" of the entire continent comes from underground.

Just as one cannot see the details of the night outside when indoors in bright light, one cannot see the details of the sky on the continent of origin.

Therefore, even on a clear night, the sky may appear empty to people, let alone see stars and the moon.

Xiao He held his hand up, palm down, the back of his hand was not as bright as his palm.

She turned on the material analyzer, casually swept it on the ground, and the result surprised her greatly.

[This is not real matter, nor is it matter from this world; it cannot be analyzed.]

Somewhat skeptical, she continued scanning other buildings, but the results were the same.

"Are you kidding me? Could this be a ghost town...?" Xiao He's imagination was also extremely rich.

There's a popular saying in the world: ghosts don't have shadows.

She looked down at her feet and, sure enough, there was no shadow.

On a bright, sunny day, the contrast isn't very noticeable. But once night falls and the sunlight disappears, everything is instantly revealed.

Wang Xuefeng's eyes couldn't perceive the changes in light and shadow, but he could see more clearly than anyone else, because the lines that made up the entire environment before him were all hazy, dotted lines...

This feeling was something I had only experienced in the Zuniga Passage before.

—A space-time gap between the virtual and the real.

Besides the two of them, the other followers also had more or less questions.

Knowing that there was no place for them to talk, they tried their best to suppress their curiosity and apprehension.

Sammek walked at the front, while Medusa consciously lagged behind, slowly swaying her snake tail.

Wang Xuefeng held Xiao He's hand the whole time, and from time to time he would secretly draw some secret signals in her palm.

There were very few people in the palace; it was very empty and desolate.

Only at the far end of the palace can you see a few "humanized" lights shining inside.

"Please come in, distinguished guests," a maidservant said meekly.

Sangmaik didn't reply and walked straight inside.

Queen Grises, who had been sitting on the throne in the main hall, descended step by step, as she had to adopt the highest level of welcoming etiquette.

"God of Life, please forgive my previous rudeness."

"Enough with the nonsense, where is the person I want?"

"I'm so sorry... we can't open the tomb at night; we'll have to wait until dawn," Guliser said, somewhat apprehensively.

Sammy looked at her coldly: "What do you mean?"

“Because…the door…is closed…” Gulisel seemed a little guilty, but he didn’t seem to be lying.

“The door,” Sammy Kwan repeated expressionlessly.

Even if Gulisel hadn't explicitly stated it, Sammecque and Xiao He, who were standing nearby, would have understood that this "gate" referred to the "Gates of Hell."

“Okay.” Sammy Que didn’t cause any trouble. “Then I’ll wait here until tomorrow morning.”

“Yes…” Gulise breathed a slight sigh of relief, then put on a relaxed smile: “I have just had a banquet prepared and rooms arranged. Since you have come from afar, you may wish to rest for the night.”

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands lightly.

Numerous maids, in pairs, carrying tables laden with dishes, emerged one after another from behind the hall.

Once all the tables were neatly arranged, the pure silver covers were simultaneously lifted, and the fragrance instantly filled the entire hall.

Once everyone was seated, the maids who had been serving the group sat on either side of the table, pouring tea and wine.

"If there is anything that has been done poorly in our hospitality, please feel free to point it out, and we will do our best to resolve it." Gulisel maintained a very humble posture throughout, and hardly dared to look at anyone more than once.

"Dance, I want to see dance..."

The sudden sound sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Because these words were spoken by Medusa.

Although she was blindfolded at this point, no one doubted that she would tear off the blindfold if she was happy.

"Oh... even if I can't see it, I can still listen to it..." She covered her mouth and chuckled, vaguely revealing two sharp teeth.

Guliser nodded, showing no intention of refusing her.

"Slap! Slap!"

The crisp applause subsided once more, and a group of dancers tiptoed out from behind the stage, stepping to the rhythm of the music…

A night of revelry.

It wasn't until late at night that the palace was empty.

A strange atmosphere lingered throughout the vast palace.

-

Welcome Palace.

Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng moved into a magnificent room, while the others stayed nearby.

After dismissing all the maids, Xiao He set up a barrier to isolate them.

"Interesting. Is Queen Gulisel obviously trying to stall for time?" Xiao He sat in front of the dressing table, playing with the combs there with a look of curiosity.

“Hmm, even she knows that delaying is pointless.” Wang Xuefeng took out a strange machine and started adjusting it.
