The portal to the guild stronghold opened, and Wang Chicheng, Leng Qingyan, and Lu Cang reunited in the stronghold.

Opening a guild stronghold in the real world is the same as opening one in the fantasy world.

The difference is that none of the NPCs in the illusionary realm appeared in the guild territory.

The base in the fantasy world and the base in the real world are two completely different dimensions.

Lu Cang has already tried with Bai Lu.

One is in reality, and the other is in the fantasy world. Even if they are both in the guild territory, they cannot meet.

Wang Chicheng looks almost exactly like his character in the game.

He was a fairly robust and sunny male college student.

With the attribute bonuses from the illusionary world, his physique is not bad, and he is quite handsome. However, his aura still appears shy. Wang Chicheng in the real world has a different image from that in the illusionary world. In the illusionary world, he has red hair, but in the real world, he has somewhat messy black hair.

"Hello, Boss. Hello, Sister Leng."

Leng Qingyan blushed slightly upon seeing Wang Chicheng and Lu Cang, but still nodded.

This was her first time meeting an online friend in person in the game, and she felt a little shy. When she thought about her character in the game, she felt even more socially awkward. In fact, Leng Qingyan didn't socialize much in real life and was often alone. The most she socialized was when she went out to eat and talked to the restaurant owner or waiter. Meeting an online friend in person now was more or less due to her social anxiety.

Even though she had just adjusted her mindset, she still felt incredibly embarrassed about actually meeting him! Just thinking about her character in the game made Leng Qingyan want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

However, Leng Qingyan had no way to escape now, so she could only force herself to keep a straight face and not let her shyness show, and thus she showed a faint smile.

On the contrary, his facial expression appeared extremely unnatural.

Wang Chicheng: "Sister Leng...is your...face twitching?"

A few blue veins were visible on Leng Qingying's forehead.

If you can't speak, you don't have to. No one is forcing you to speak.

Lu Cang remained calm and composed, as if he had experienced this kind of thing hundreds of times before.

Leng Qingyan took a quick breath, composed herself, and immediately changed the subject, asking, "President, where did you go after the war started?"

In response to Leng Qingyan's question, Lu Cang chuckled and said, "Do I need to take action?"

The human race's war can be described as a great victory.

While Bai Lu's single strike, "Mountain Collapse," didn't wipe out all the enemies, it did kill the vast majority of the rival prodigies.

This further dampened the desire of the alien races to attack the human race again.

After this cataclysmic event, it would take more than just courage to muster an army to attack the human race.

Upon receiving Lu Cang's reply, Leng Qingyan recalled the scene she had just witnessed.

It's definitely not needed anymore.

"Boss, so what's the situation now?" Wang Chicheng asked, puzzled.

Lu Cang only said that Blue Star would undergo a change soon, but he didn't say what the specifics would be. Now that he's back in reality and sees the city transformed into mountains and forests, a scene resembling a wild wilderness, how could he not be filled with doubt?

Lu Cang paused for a moment, then replied, "What you are seeing now is the true appearance of Blue Star."

"The Blue Star we used to live on could be considered a Blue Star that was sealed by the power of the Illusionary Realm."

"You should know what 'sealing' means, so I won't explain it."

"As the progress is unlocked, the seal that the Illusionary Realm placed on our Blue Star is also released, and the original appearance of this world is revealed. So this is the real Blue Star, a world where monsters roam everywhere and danger is everywhere."

"It's cold, open the door."

"Put on some clothes if you're cold," Leng Qingying replied, but still opened the base's teleportation portal.

The three of them returned to the vicinity of Leng Qingying's residence through the passage of the guild's territory.

Leng Qingying looked at the charred house and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the house had been burned down.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if the company were to die.

While inwardly marveling at this, Leng Qingying asked, "The Illusionary Realm existed a long time ago?"

Leng Qingying noticed the information in Lu Cang's words: if Blue Star was sealed, it meant that the Illusionary Realm existed from the very beginning.

"Hehe, who knows? That's what the information I got says." Lu Cang smiled without saying anything more.

"At least one thing is true: our blue planet is no longer the blue planet it used to be."

"The Earth is indeed much larger than before, and of course, there are many more monsters now."

As Lu Cang responded, the fearless warrior also came out from the stronghold and saw the detached villa burning next to him. He looked at Leng Qingying and asked, "Sister Leng, is this your house?"

"no."

"oh……"

Whoosh!

The fearless warrior vanished on the spot.

Leng Qingying's heart tightened, and she missed a beat, her zero senses activating almost instantly.

I was just about to head back.

The brave and fearless man had already finished his tour and came out of the house.

"Nobody's here."

"It's all burned to ashes inside."

Of course there's no one there.

Leng Qingying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed. Fortunately, her secret had not been discovered, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to stay in the God Killing Guild.

Lu Cang smiled without saying a word, having no intention of exposing Leng Qingying's secret.

Some secrets are better kept to yourself.

"Fearless, do you see the sea over there?"

Leng Qingying's home has now been allocated to the mountain, and from the mountain, one can see a vast, boundless sea in the distance.

Since the mutation of Earth, the environment has become uninhabitable.

Monsters can also appear in the wild, and the strength of these wild monsters is approximately level 30 to 80.

The level isn't high, but it's not low either.

While these monsters posed no threat to Lu Cang and his companions, there were still many ordinary humans on Earth.

The vast majority of people are still around level 30 to 40.

Just like most people's average salary is only around 2500 to 5000, at this level, if you encounter some level 80 monsters wandering around, it can really be a nightmare.

Furthermore...

After the mutation of Earth, the world is no longer just populated by ordinary monsters.

There are quite a few world boss-level beings like the Xuanzhong Giant Turtle.

This isn't the interior of the illusionary realm; it's the real world. In the illusionary realm, if you die fighting a world boss, you just die and can resurrect in a nearby city. But if you die in the real world, there's absolutely no chance of resurrection.

Only someone like Lu Cang, who possesses the [Resurrection Cross (Remaining Uses: 1)], has the right to be spared death once.

"Fearless, there's a rather powerful monster in the sea over there. Go and kill it."

Wang Chicheng looked towards the sea, where the sea breeze was blowing.

Fighting in the real world? This is my first time. There's no attribute panel or health bar. It feels so strange.

"Boss."

What would happen if I were killed right now?

"I will die."

Upon hearing this answer, Wang Chicheng's body involuntarily trembled.

"Really dead?"

"Really dead."

Wang Chicheng's face fell instantly.

"Boss... this... do you really want me to go on this mission?"

Wang Chicheng is no longer too intimidated in the illusion world. After all, even if you die in the illusion world, you're not really dead. But when you return to the real world, the feeling is completely different.

Lu Cang responded to Wang Chicheng with a faint smile and a resolute reply: "No discussion."

Seeing that Lu Cang wouldn't budge, Wang Chicheng turned to the sea with a grim expression: "Alright... Boss, if I'm going to die, you have to come and save me."

Bang!

Without saying anything more, Wang Chicheng turned and dashed headlong into the sea.

His back view was tragic and desolate, as if he were going to his death.

After the fearless warrior left, Leng Qingying couldn't help but ask, "Is that deep-sea monster very dangerous?"

"Actually, it's not that dangerous. If you encounter one, you should be able to kill it in half a minute."

"Guild Master, what is the purpose of all this? Is it just for the human race, to help them rid themselves of this scourge?"

"Otherwise what?" Lu Cang retorted.

"In short, if some of the crises on Earth are not resolved, humanity will continue to live in misery."

"I didn't expect you to be the type who worries about people and the world." Leng Qingying said with a complicated expression and a slightly surprised tone.

Lu Cang smiled wryly: "What you're saying makes it sound like I'm some kind of anti-human organization."

However, this is all just to speed up the startup process.

The expenses of the Godslayer Guild along the way were actually quite substantial. The money for opening teleportation arrays, crafting equipment, and buying mounts all required a large amount of gold coins.

Without initial startup capital, how can one multiply their initial assets several times over?

When they arrive at the Trial City, the Godslayer Guild will be in dire financial straits.

"Yeah."

In Leng Qingying's memory, the Great Wall was very cunning and did not seem like the kind of person who would suffer a loss for others.

Helping the human race certainly doesn't seem like a problem.

But why would this old fox take action if there were no benefit to it? It's like saying Lu Cang is doing charity work for free, which doesn't fit his character at all.

Upon closer reflection, although she had always been by Lu Cang's side, Leng Qingying couldn't quite put her finger on what kind of person the president was.

Friendly? Cunning? Gentle? Insidious? Serious? Unserious? Kind? Evil?

Leng Qingying couldn't think of a specific answer.

This person is like someone shrouded in a thick fog, completely unfathomable.

However, there are also some undeniable answers.

That is: powerful and reliable.

Oh, and he's also kind of handsome.

Another thought flashed through Leng Qingying's mind: Come to think of it, President, you are clearly younger than me. You are only 21 years old, while I am already 22.

"So, what should we do next?"

"Hmm... I'll clean up a bunch first, then I'll go back. You guys can handle the rest."

As he spoke, a phantom of Lu Cang appeared beside him.

A spellbook floats beside the phantom, indicating that it is currently using the White Deer's abilities.

The phantom clapped its hands gently.

A page of the calligraphy book lit up.

Boom!

[Destruction of the Earth: The Mountain Where Heaven and Earth Collapse]

The earth split open! A colossal black mountain rose from the ground, and Leng Qingying's pupils instantly contracted upon seeing it rise!

"President!"

Do you know what you're doing?!

What are you doing?

This is the real world! Not a fantasy world where things can be restored once destroyed!

"Yes, we know. We're creating a safe environment for Earth."

Hearing Lu Cang's answer, Leng Qingying's heart clenched.

Safety?

In what way does what you're doing have anything to do with safety?

Leng Qingying didn't know how big Blue Star was now, but she did know one thing: before Blue Star underwent its transformation, its diameter was only 12,000 kilometers. Compared to Bai Lu's Heaven and Earth Collapse Mountain, Blue Star was the smaller one.
