"bite!"

"Reminder: The dungeon 'Ember of Dusk' is being entered. It is estimated to take 1 day and 6 hours. Please prepare as many dungeon supplies as possible to help you clear it."

Three months passed in a flash.

Fang You stood in the closed training ground, in front of him was a huge pure white cube called the Purification Cube. With the help of this red secret treasure, he had purified piles of polluted divine crystals and transformed them into transparent, pure, flawless divine crystals that could be used at any time.

He put half of them on the organization's exchange list and had no intention of lowering the price.

Half of it was loaded into the dimensional palace, ready to enter the unknown copy with him.

Fang You took out the mobile palace and scanned it with his spiritual sense. The main hall and several side halls inside were filled with supplies and equipment, and the small garden was also piled with a lot of things.

In these gardens, there were many flowers and plants that An Jianyou had asked the planting department for before returning to the palace. However, many of these flowers and plants had been bent by the materials he had piled up.

"It's a sin."

"I'll decorate it carefully after I come back from the dungeon."

...

...

His mentor never paid attention to these things, but he couldn't expect An Jianyou to find that all the flowers and plants she planted had died the next time she used the Dimension Palace. This was still a bit embarrassing.

He stood up and walked out of the training ground.

Before entering the dungeon, he had to take another batch of plant seeds. Liu Shang should have been ready.

…

The Xinhuo Secret Realm is already a level 6 super secret realm, and its space size far exceeds that of Trial Ground No. 404.

After several expansions and continuous construction, the secret realm has changed a lot.

If other mentors haven't come for a while, they will be dumbfounded.

The core of the secret realm, the 'Suspended Base', is one of the few areas that has not changed much, except that the outer circle can be opened up to the fourth layer of land for the plantation area, which has expanded three times the area of ​​the original. Inside the base, there are also many buildings and facilities that are difficult to distinguish from the outside.

Outside the base,

Above my head is the blue sky with white clouds floating in the sky, and the sun and the moon alternate.

Below is the vast ocean, with long coastlines that seem to have no end at both ends, and small islands scattered around.

The land occupies 1/3 and the sea occupies 2/3, which is the result of the natural evolution of the secret realm. However, based on this result, the strong men of Xinhuo used their great power to reclaim land and build islands.

These islands may not look big when viewed from the sky, but there are many of them, enough to rival the original Pacific training camp islands, enough to build small towns on them one after another.

Indeed, there is!

But not on the islands. These islands are mostly used to build research facilities or breeding bases for dangerous research or to cultivate special species that are difficult to coexist with other plants.

At the other end of the long coastline, you can see a huge, lush tree that seems to be nature, life, and a symbol of harvest - the Idora Tree of Life.

This tree of life, which possesses vast and great power, has now left its larval stage and entered the growth stage. Its size is no longer as small as before. It has grown to more than 100 meters tall, and finally has a little bit of the majesty of the tree of life.

Its power covers a wider range and is more powerful, which is a strong guarantee for the rapid growth of the firewood plant.

Otherwise, the output of treasures like the Qingxin tea tree would not be enough for domestic use, let alone be sufficient for external sales.

From Fang You's current perspective, the Idora Tree of Life is also one of the top-tier among the "God-Devil-Level" treasures. It may even be classified as a God-Devil-Level treasure because it is in its larval stage.

Outside the Tree of Life of Idora is a lush forest. The luxuriant branches and leaves rustle in the wind, and a strong vitality rushes towards you.

In this forest, there are trees originally planted by Xinhuo, and some are grown from forest seeds.

More than ten kilometers away from the forest, the smell of life became thicker, and a small and exquisite town came into view.

The town is not big, but it has everything you need and all kinds of living facilities can be found here.

The most eye-catching thing is a building that looks like a train platform in the west of the town. There are dark tunnels built on all four sides of the building, but there are only entrances and no exits.

Occasionally, one could see a Winged Serpent-class train roaring out of a tunnel entrance, rushing into another tunnel without stopping, and disappearing in an instant.

Seeing that the town was running in an orderly manner and was clean and tidy, Teacher Fang nodded with satisfaction.

He did not teleport, but flew across the sky, taking in the scenes of the secret realm. Finally, he landed near the Tree of Life of Idora, outside a green and red medicinal garden.

"tutor!"

"You are looking for Sister Liu Shang, right? I'll go call her right away."

A girl who was observing the growth of medicinal herbs in the medicine garden jumped three feet high when she saw him flying down from the sky. She said a few words and slipped away like a frightened rabbit, running towards a wooden house not far from the medicine garden.

That is where Liu Shang usually lives. She likes to stay near the Tree of Life. Her workplace is also here. She can start work when she goes out, or she can work at home, which saves a lot of time.

However, Liu Shang walked out of the wooden house without being notified by the little girl.

She was wearing a gorgeous purple-blue dress, and her long black hair fell down from behind her head like a waterfall. It didn't look like she often worked in the fields.

No, that’s not it.

When Liu Shang first arrived at the organization and was only at the third awakening, she looked like a lady from a noble family, more elegant than Medesa who was born in the Sword Flower City. Now, she has become a seventh awakening legend, so there is no need for her to roll up her sleeves, and she will not be stained with a speck of dust.

After all, since he was already here, Fang You couldn't just say directly that he came only to get seeds, so he walked around the surrounding herb gardens and inspected the cultivation results of Liu Shang and the others.

"This is the third golden seed. Even without the Tree of Life and special soil, it can grow 10 times faster than regular rice seeds and produce 6 times more per mu. The only drawback is that it needs to be ground into powder and sprinkled with some strange crystals when planting to ensure the energy supply of the third golden rice."

This is naturally not a problem.

The food issue concerns the overall plan of Blue Star. Moreover, food export is now an important source of income for Xinhuo, and the benefits far outweigh the consumption.

"This is the No. 2 berry. It can satisfy hunger and restore physical strength."

"These are number three walnuts..."

"Here is the Devil's Seedling No. 4, which is also cultivated by grafting special crops from the 'Fantasy Forest'."

This devil seedling is one of the plants that Fang You asked Liu Shang to focus on cultivating. It has been improved several times and has a very fast growth rate and super toughness. It is a very practical "combat plant". Whether used in real-time combat or strategic deployment, it can play a greater role.

"When we were cultivating the devil's seedlings, a special young plant was born unexpectedly."

Liu Shang pointed to a group of green seedlings that looked like seaweed and were slowly wriggling in the distance.

From this green seedling, Fang You actually sensed a confused emotion.

Liu Shang said, "It is already an intelligent individual and has a relatively high growth potential. Do you want to take it with you, mentor?"

She could probably tell that her tutor looked like he was going on a long journey.

But there is no need to ask too many questions, and it is not ladylike.

Fang You shook his head.

He wanted to take it away, but the copy could not bring in real life forms other than himself. Ordinary plants did not count.

After chatting with Liu Shang for a while, he caught a glimpse of a few little girls in the distance, hiding behind the gourd vines, looking over here. When he turned his head to look, the little girls disappeared again.

Fang You shook his head and laughed.

Carrying a pile of special seeds, he returned to the apostles' dormitory to rest for a while.

The next day,

Fang You didn't go anywhere. He just stayed in the dormitory to rest, calm his mind and wait silently.

When the countdown on the [Copy Shuttle] interface reaches zero, the panel will pop up with a 'ding' sound.

"Reminder: The string of fate and the thread of time and space have been locked. Please enter the copy of Dusk Embers as soon as possible to avoid the time and space anchor being detached."

"hint:……"

"hint:……"

Fang You took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and slapped the copy shuttle interface that was like a black hole.

Buzz——

Time and space twisted, and in an instant he left the secret realm and the blue planet, as if he were in a vast river. The river was surging, full of endless mysteries, rushing from the unknown shore and rushing to the unpredictable end.

He was standing on the river, wrapped in the power of fate, without being touched by a drop of river water. He seemed to be above the waves of the river and was rushing upstream against the direction of the river.

In a daze, Fang You seemed to have seen some scenes, but he could not remember them. He could only be led by the power of fate and fly to the predetermined place.

Time seemed to have passed for a very long time, or perhaps, there was no concept of time here.

When Fang You came to his senses, sunlight was shining in through the window and the chirping of birds could be heard. The world seemed to come alive from silence.

“I am…”

"Oh right, the copy!"

Others were still a little dazed.

Although he is already a legendary figure, the pressure he faces seems to be greater than last time.

After calming down for a while, Fang You opened the panel.

"bite!"

"Reminder: You have entered the dungeon 'Emboss of Dusk'."

"Reminder: Dusk is about to fall, and the light will be submerged in darkness, but there are still fires that can burn. Please, Savior of Destiny, cultivate as many fires as possible to resist the coming disaster."

"Tip: The maximum time you can stay in this instance is three years. Using power above the mythical level may shorten your stay. You can return at any time."

"hint:……"

The panel emerged, and the brilliance on the fonts gradually faded.

Fang You fell into deep thought.

He was probably on the second floor, and outside the window was a large tree with lush branches and leaves. On the branches were several birds with big eyes, chirping non-stop. However, he did not recognize these birds, and he was sure that they were not any of the species that had existed on Blue Star in the past.

And around me...

In front of him was a large desk, and he was sitting on a soft chair. On one side of the desk was a shelf filled with various decorations, and on the other side were several silver-white curved chairs. On the wall hung a large word "修", and the font contained great power.

"seem……"

"I actually came to this era? Well, it's not surprising."

"Not only that, this time when I entered the dungeon, I also had an 'identity': the director of a welfare home in Xiaguang City!"

These information emerged as his consciousness gradually awakened from the haze.

The orphanage, as the name suggests, is an institution for adopting orphans, but it is different in this era. In this era, this empire is highly developed, ordinary people can live to more than 100 years old, and there are many awakened people who live to 200 or 300 years old. The facilities are convenient and life is worry-free. For a large part of the people, they have no concept of family. They are only responsible for giving birth, while raising children is the responsibility of the empire and the orphanage.

Therefore, there are many welfare homes in the empire, but the 'Sunlight' welfare home where Fang You is located is quite special. It is a welfare home for cultivation!

It is correct to call it an orphanage, because the people admitted here are underage orphans.

But Fang You felt that this place was more like an academy that accepted young boys and girls who were of a certain age and had been detected to have a talent for cultivation and were sent there from other basic welfare institutions.

As the dean, it is his job to train these boys and girls until they reach the age of 18 and officially enter the society.

"Well, it can be understood as a civilian secondary college."

"Although it is a civilian academy, the welfare benefits are also quite high. Basic body-hardening and mind-nourishing medicines are supplied in unlimited quantities. There are also advanced medicines for the entire system, matching cultivation methods, matching awakening ritual diagrams, and so on."

The effects of some medicines seem to be stronger than those they mass-produce.

Now, these supporting facilities are only the lowest in the Kandra Empire. However, it can be seen that the Kandra Empire attaches great importance to the training of the younger generation.

"That's right. After all, Candela has spent a lot of money to build one trial site after another."

"If the welfare home is a secondary school, then the trial ground is a higher school...but the information I received did not contain any information related to the trial ground."

The most common information he received was about what the dean needed to do.

Although he is called the dean, in fact, he is just an employee, and a compound employee who combines "teaching", "management", "supervision" and so on.

There are not many real living employees in the entire welfare home!

After all, the only senior position in the entire welfare home is the director. Senior talents in other positions are unwilling to condescend to this position, and ordinary workers...the welfare home even looks down on them.

Even without a single living employee, the entire welfare home can still operate normally.

Because there are instructor puppets, doctor puppets, chef puppets, security puppets, etc., the only workers really needed are senior instructors.

Well, Fang You thought about it for a while and found that other workers are part-time, only working during fixed time periods and at most three days a week. Only he, the dean, is full-time, eating, living and working here.

"But I don't have anywhere else to go, so this is good."

He had the idea of ​​going outside to see for himself the Kandra Empire of this era, and to visit the trial ground at the same time.

However, it didn't work.

Just like the first 'Birth of Fire' instance, his area of ​​activity was limited to the orphanage - an orphanage that covered an area comparable to a university campus.

Returning to the dean's office again, Fang You looked at the instrument on the table that looked like a globe.

"This seems to be a device for receiving information? Just like a mobile phone in modern society."

But it must be driven by spiritual power.

He spread out his mental power and probed gently.

Suddenly, with a "click", an illusory interface appeared in front of him.

"The Fourth Pillar, Lord Steel Pillar, announced a few days ago that the God-Demon Grade Puppet Guardian Dragon v1.0 has been officially released. This puppet will be responsible for many important security tasks."

"The Governor of Yunxia Province announced that the welfare home will improve its treatment in the future to attract more high-level awakeners to work there."

"Six-star star Feng Nan will hold a concert in Xiaguang City, and tickets are hard to come by."

"The most beautiful group has officially debuted, and everyone is a fairy descending from the earth."

Fang You looked at it for a while and could only come to the conclusion that it was "ok".

What he meant was that the news was okay, but there was no information he wanted to know. The entire Kandra Empire seemed to be calm? However, there was not much news content, and most of it was related to Xiaguang City. There was very little news outside of Yunxia Province.

The technology is very advanced, but it is not as much information as before the mysterious arrival of the Blue Planet, which is enough to make one's head explode.

"Moreover, these news are obviously aimed at ordinary people. If there is any movement, it will not be broadcast here... However, this device seems to have a secret door?"

No, it's advanced mode.

By replacing the activated mental power with divine consciousness, one can enter the upper-level network that ordinary people cannot access, a place... uh, like a mythological forum.

He wanted to complain, but after taking a look, his expression froze and his eyes were fixed on it.

"Last month, two kingdoms were destroyed. It was related to the spreading darkness."

"What are you afraid of? Our Kandra Empire is a symbol of glory. We live under the protection of glory. The darkness and filth will be purified in front of the real light. Didn't the dark gods want to take over Kandra back then? Then what happened? Hehe."

"It seems that a true god has fallen."

"Are they the gods of faith? If they lose the supply of faith, they will fall from grace or even perish. That's normal. I've already said that the way of faith doesn't work."

"No, it was an ancient god. A great and supreme ancient god, the 'Three-phase God', fell, but the reason is still unclear."

"I have a rumor here that the patron saint of the ancient Silver Moon Kingdom in the west, the 'Silver Moon Goddess', has also fallen, and it seems that it was not because of the war of ancient gods."

"We in the Kandra Empire don't need gods. It doesn't matter whether they live or die."

The person who spoke was obviously also a legend and knew many secrets.

Unfortunately, there are only texts but no pictures or videos, so it remains to be seen how true these words are.

Never mind, there is still a long time to come, I will understand it slowly.

What we need to do now is to familiarize ourselves with the welfare home. If we lose our job at the welfare home, we may lose our anchor point and be forced to leave the copy.

That won't work.

Teacher Fang, who had become a worker, sighed.

At this time, a "beep beep" reminder sounded, and a serious-looking woman pushed the door open and walked in:

"Master Dean, a new batch of children has arrived."
