With enough crystals, they were finally able to pass through the array's core. Jiang Zhi and Qiu Gu chose a life gate and headed towards the next core.

Having the experience of time travel, Jiang Zhi arrived at her next destination with great ease this time.

She tried to contact the space as soon as she stood still, but found that she could not, so the two sides were not in communication.

Jiang Zhi sighed silently.

After it came out, Qiu Gu disappeared without a trace, and Jiang Zhi ignored it.

The location of the array's core this time was a vast grassland. Jiang Zhi was afraid there wouldn't be any food outside, so she brought a lot of grilled fish. She ate the fish first before starting to study the constellations of this area.

Carefully record all the locations and place them together with the last words of your predecessors.

Once inside the formation, she lost track of the timing.

Although it was bright daylight on the grassland, there was no sun or anything like that in sight. Jiang Zhi was wondering about this when she looked up and saw a dragon circling and flying in the sky.

It was heading towards Jiang Zhi and soon stopped in front of her.

Having gained its freedom, the gnarled goose roared to the sky and then turned to make a "whoosh" sound towards Jiang Zhi.

It said, "It's been so long since I've felt this good."

Jiang Zhi smiled and asked, "Is there anything new or interesting on this grassland?"

"It's an island with water on both the east and west sides. There are hardly any trees on the island, which is completely different from what I remember."

Jiang Zhi also found it strange. Generally speaking, whether it is an island in a lake or a sea island, as long as it is a water island, it is impossible for it to be entirely covered with grass.

Jiang Zhi looked at the gnarled goblet and had a bold idea in her mind. She had to go and check it out herself.

Feeling the wind in her ears and looking at the green grass receding into the distance, Jiang Zhi straddled the head of the dragon gourd, gripping its horns tightly with both hands, feeling extremely excited.

The flying goose was very fast, and Jiang Zhi could see the edge of the grassland in the distance, which was indeed a stretch of water.

This place felt very familiar to her, like a space that had been enclosed.

No living suppressing beasts were found here. Qiu Gu told Jiang Zhi that the suppressing beast at the core of this formation was not as lucky as it; it was already dead.

Jiang Zhi had no interest in paying attention any further; she needed to move on to the next place.

There are a total of 81 locations.

Jiang Zhi didn't know how long she ran before finally finishing the 79th run, but without exception, she failed to enter the space.

If I'm not mistaken, the last two are her personal space and the outside world.

Faced with a choice between two extreme options, Jiang Zhi selects from two astrological configurations.

If you choose correctly, you can go back; if you choose incorrectly, your fate will be like that chicken's—a bloody mess, utterly dead.

Wanfu has been suffering these past few days because it can no longer sense its mother's presence.

She seemed to have vanished from the world, and Wanfu was filled with extreme fear.

It reacted immediately, tearing the mangled corpses of the mutated beasts to shreds and burying them all under the garden as fertilizer.

Mom hasn't come in for many days. Could something have happened to her outside? Wanfu considered countless possibilities, each with a terrifying outcome.

It's all its fault for not sticking with us.

Wanfu felt extremely remorseful.

It even went on a hunger strike and stopped eating anything.

Even so, it remains energetic.

How can I get out?

Without its mother, it cannot freely enter and exit.

Wanfu ran wildly through the space, leaving footprints in almost every corner, especially in the places where the mutated beasts had been thrown in.

This connects to another space.

Wanfu repeatedly hoped he would not see Jiang Zhi here.

As darkness fell, Wanfu looked up at the stars in the sky.

It started running up the mountain, it was a celestial phenomenon, Wanfu still remembered what Jiang Zhi had said.

Jiang Zhi was deep in thought, trying to deduce the truth.

This is an evolving formation. The further along the constellations you go, the more complex the issues become. The basic Bagua (Eight Trigrams) is no longer sufficient. She has been brainstorming for a long time, and there are still two steps left before she can complete the reverse deduction.

The array contains eight cores, but ultimately there are 81, and they exist across time and space, which is why it gets more difficult as you go further.

Qiu Gu squatted obediently to the side. It accompanied Jiang Zhi through all the array eyes, only to find that apart from itself, the only living suppressing beast, there were no other survivors.

Millions upon millions of years have passed, and there are no more of its kind left. The gnarled goose is filled with bitterness.

And it's getting harder and harder.

Suddenly I realized that freedom isn't that important anymore.

As Jiang Zhi was deep in thought, she noticed a significant change in the constellation before her, with one of the stars shining brightly.

This represents one in eighty-one.

Wanfu had a large bag of crystals in its mouth. It didn't know where the array's core was, so it could only grab the crystals and send them to the barrier. It thought it wouldn't have any effect, but to its surprise, the barrier was able to absorb the crystals.

It immediately reacted as if it had discovered a new continent, and threw everything onto the barrier.

"I've found my way home," Jiang Zhi said with delight.

For safety's sake, Jiang Zhi still completed the remaining calculations, and the result was exactly the same as what she had expected.

"It must be a blessing," Jiang Zhi thought to herself.

Without hesitation, she chose another direction with the gnarled goblet in her hand.

She put on her mask; she had a little oxygen left, enough to last her until she entered the space.

When the gourd first emerged, it was surrounded by water, and then immediately transported to a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers, which startled it so much that it almost flew away.

Wanfu saw Jiang Zhi from afar and, like a whirlwind, gave her a bear hug, pinning her to the ground.

The dragon instantly realized what was happening, and its entire body arched up, watching Wanfu warily.

Jiang Zhi was pinned to the ground, and helplessly patted Wanfu, who was licking wildly: "Good son, Mommy finally got back, and you're trying to crush me to death!"
