After hearing the leader's choice, the fearless warrior immediately rolled up his sleeves!

But before the brave and fearless could speak...

“Infiltrate in,” Leng Qingying said.

Cang Qiong: "Yes, when the situation is unclear, infiltration is the best option."

Uh, the fearless one blinked.

“Zuya, there are people all over here. You’d better disguise yourself as a human.”

Zuya nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then it put on a mask.

This is a shape-changing mask made from the skin of a Thousand-Faced Phantom, which can transform one's appearance into other forms.

This illusion is more than just a hallucination.

Instead, it transforms its own appearance, texture, and everything else.

Zuya transformed into human form.

He was a tall and imposing man with bronze skin and thick, mountain-like muscles.

At first glance, he gives the impression of being both simple and robust.

"good."

He slowly uttered a single word.

Speaking only one word at a time is a custom of the Stone Statue Tribe, and there are no other restrictions.

Anyway, as long as everyone understands.

Xiumi also tucked in its tail and hid its cat ears. In fact, Xiumi's appearance was not much different from that of a human.

As for the rest, they were all human, so there was no need for them to hide.

Leng Qingying used her divine power to touch everyone, and with her touch, everyone was led into the void.

The spirit of the white deer swept across the vortex-like entrance.

"Brother, I don't know the purpose of those array patterns."

"That doesn't belong to the magic system."

I had originally hoped to use my somewhat extensive knowledge to my advantage, but after taking a look, I realized I couldn't understand it.

Knowledge from completely different worlds.

"It doesn't matter."

"Just go straight through."

As he spoke, he led the way through the void, heading directly towards the enormous vortex.

Outside the massive vortex, there were also guards.

The vortex was guarded by several humans dressed in shiny black armor. A quick scan of their senses revealed their condition.

Leading the group were soldiers clad in extremely imposing armor.

-----------------

Li Ganhe

[Level: Void Layer of the Demon Realm (Level 400)]

[Demon Rank: Demon of Fusion]

[Human-Demon State: Human]

-----------------

These guards were given names.

Based on the information we have, these guards are probably all around level 300.

Level 300, if converted to the modern world.

It's probably the power of a demigod.

However, since the systems are different, it's uncertain whether this conversion is possible.

At least during their travels in the Fourth Era, the strength of the Fourth Era could not be simply calculated using godhood and level.

Of course, it's not something that can be simply calculated in the real world.

The heavens did not choose to explore them further.

Instead, they passed through the vortex gate first.

In fact, above the vortex, there are platforms floating in the universe, and palaces scattered on the platforms, but these are not the main targets of the heavens.

Entering the raging vortex, you'll find yourself in a thick waterspout!

Cang Qiong and the others walked in the void.

They were completely unaffected by the waterspout.

Things became much simpler after passing through the passage.

With a slight flash of light, Cang Qiong led the group to a secluded corner of the city.

A secluded and quiet alley.

“This place is truly just like the complete world,” Bai Lu said.

Leng Qingying: "Could this place be a strategic location for Zero Order?"

It's hard to imagine that this is the place that influences the entire world, causing a continuous stream of members of the Zero Order to be born.

To the naked eye, this appears to be a harmonious and complete world.

The only difference is that these people's cultivation methods are clearly different from ours.

Previously, exploration of restricted areas was always done with a guide in hand.

This is the first time we've ever cleared land.

Cang Qiong wore a hood and his clothes had changed to the city's casual wear.

"No abnormalities are expected in the next five minutes."

"The ratio of time to the passage of time in the external world... is almost like time standing still."

Cang Qiong sensed the time rules within this forbidden zone through his divine authority over time.

"Unlike before, when we first entered the restricted area, the difference in the passage of time wasn't as significant."

The proportion of time that passes varies with distance from the planet.

The closer you are to this city, the slower time passes in the outside world.

Cang Qiong instructed, "Let's conduct a routine inspection."

A pure black dagger appeared in Leng Qingying's hand, dividing the space into a cube, and the space inside the cube was divided into nothingness.

The white deer is in this space.

She raised her hand and opened the teleportation portal to the guild's stronghold.

A passage appeared, and Bai Lu entered the guild to investigate.

It was discovered that almost all the portals within the passage were unusable.

Apart from the marked locations established upon entering the restricted area, all other teleportation channels leading to the real world have become invalid.

It's similar to entering other restricted areas.

Then Bai Lu threw a few props on the spot, set up several rituals, and casually cast a few spells.

Destruction magic exploded in the sky above the territory!

It emitted a rolling roar.

After Bai Lu finished her examination, she came out.

"Brother, the land is currently in a normal restricted area status."

Cang Qiong nodded: "Gather intelligence and clues. Go your separate ways and I will call you all together in six hours."

After allocation is completed.

Cang Qiong's figure flashed instantly, and he arrived at the rooftop of the nearest academy.

If you want to observe the essence of cultivation in a world, the academy is a good place.

"Dear students."

"Tomorrow, May 28th, is the day of awakening!"

"Whether you can awaken a powerful demonic essence will determine your future!"

While listening to the teacher's lecture on the podium, Cangqiong did not forget to scan the world's ancient texts with his senses.

"This demon."

Cang Qiong was perceiving and browsing through the school's teaching materials.

In this world, every person harbors a demon within their heart.

Their method of cultivation involves stimulating the demonic power within their bodies while simultaneously suppressing its awakening.

If the demon is fully awakened, people will be completely corrupted by the demon.

It sounds like the Seven Deadly Sins constitution, but the actual difference is significant.

The demon in everyone's heart is a very abstract thing. If you have to describe it, demonization is not about maintaining a person's appearance and strength, but merely changing their personality.

Instead, it was directly transformed into a monster called "demon".

It's roughly equivalent to a magical girl's Soul Gem being corrupted, eventually turning her into a witch.

Of course, becoming demonized will also make you very strong.

This has led to the cultivation system in this world appearing unusually distorted.

To become stronger, one must possess a powerful demonic nature and temper one's demonic essence.

However, the stronger one is, the greater the harm caused by demonization.

"It really is... quite difficult."

In just a few minutes, Cang Qiong had already gained a general understanding of the cultivation system of this world.

Besides this orthodox path, there are several newly opened roads.

The orthodox way is to suppress one's own demonic nature while unleashing the power of that demon.

The new path, on the other hand, directly annihilates one's own demonic nature and unleashes one's inherent potential... This path is generally for geniuses; under normal circumstances, someone who loses their original demonic nature is already a cripple.

There is also a wicked path, which is to partially become demonic in exchange for greater power.

This is not a conjecture by Cangqiong, but rather a record in the book "The True History of the String Star: Trials of Ten Thousand Paths".

String Star is, of course, the name of this planet.

This book records the cultivation history of the String Star.

"Tomorrow is the day of awakening..."

Cang Qiong silently repeated in his mind the words his teacher had said in a classroom.

I had some thoughts on it.

-----------------

[Six hours later—]

"ha?"

"Boss, do you mean we can stay here for a few years?"

"Isn't the current war situation already very urgent!"

Cang Qiong, having somehow acquired an identity, has become a legal resident of this planet.

They even disguised their aura to be indistinguishable from that of the native inhabitants of this world.

At this moment, everyone gathered in a house that was not small.

The house was bought by Cangqiong.

As for where the money to buy the house will come from... well, let's not worry about that.

"As I said, the time ratio between here and the outside world tends to stand still."

"Theoretically speaking, if we stay in this place until the end of our time, nothing will change when we leave."

The fearless warrior: "That's exactly what was said..."

Leng Qingying: "President, does it really take that long to break through the forbidden zone?"

Cang Qiong: "Yes, and not entirely."

"I just think this is a good place."

"Although the rules of this world are different from those of the present world, it is impossible for you to complete the rituals required for advancement."

"But this place will also provide you with ample opportunity to hone your skills."

"After all, you reached the realm of gods from mortals at a very fast pace."

"I haven't experienced enough."

"I have experienced the trials of the mortal world, witnessed the illusions of countless worlds, and lived through countless reincarnations."

"I think this is a good opportunity."

"If you ever find yourself trapped in the illusions of the mortal world in the future, you won't be at a loss for how to cope."

As Cang Qiong spoke, his appearance had become youthful, and his body had shrunk considerably.

The white deer covered her little mouth.

She recognized him; he looked like he did when he was a child.

"I have already prepared your identities. Tomorrow is both the day of the Summoning of Demons on this planet and the day of recruitment for various academies."

"You will then enroll under your new identities."

Leng Qingying seemed to have already sensed what Cang Qiong wanted to say. She frowned and said, "President, your sense of humor is still as strong as ever."

The young man, Cang Qiong, smiled faintly: "No, I'm not joking."

While asking questions, Leng Qingying shrunk her size, transforming into her teenage form.

Cang Qiong smiled faintly, "Now you really have become Xiao Leng."

"President, will your perverse sense of humor never disappear?"

Xiumi also transformed into a girl with long, emerald-green hair: "I don't understand either, but I'll just follow Cangcang's arrangements, meow."

"Brother, do you want to learn the cultivation system of this world?"

Compared to the others, Bai Lu understands things very quickly, and at the same time, Bai Lu is also changing back to her childhood appearance.

Cang Qiong nodded slightly: "Yes, that's a possibility."

Bai Lu was still puzzled: "But if it's just about trying out this world's system, brother, you can just disguise yourself, pretend to be a student tomorrow, and temporarily perform the awakening ritual."

When they parted ways, Bai Lu had already come to understand how this world worked.

They know as much information as the heavens.

If it weren't for the fact that the summoning ritual requires the original demon to perform, Bai Lu and the others could have even performed the summoning awakening of this world themselves.

Cang Qiong spoke up, saying, "Awakening is only one aspect."

"Our senses have already explored this world."

"Shumi, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Shumi shook his head: "No, meow. Everything in this world is self-consistent. There's nothing else that doesn't make sense."

"Of course it's possible, but I haven't found it."

The fearless warrior raised his hand and said, "Boss, I didn't notice either."

Leng Qingying glanced disdainfully at the fearless warrior beside her who had raised his hand: "The president didn't even ask you, did she?"

Cang Qiong said calmly, "Currently, the only place we can explore is this planet, and if we leave this planet, space will become a desolate wasteland."

"And the flow of time is so different here."

"Bai Lu, if the time flow rate ratio in a restricted area is too high, what might be the way to pass the level?"

Bai Lu recalled the contents of the manuscript of "Records of Forbidden Zones".

The answer was: "The issue that needs to be addressed in this restricted area may not have occurred when entering the restricted area. The real issue that needs to be addressed may span several years."

Leng Qingying: "Could it be a trap set by the enemy?"

Compared to others, Leng Qingying was more skeptical of Cang Qiong's decisions.

Of course, questioning is more about raising doubts.

If the heavens firmly issue an order, Leng Qingying will carry it out no matter how much doubt she has.

Cang Qiong: "The forbidden zones of the Illusionary Realm all have a common feature, which is that they are passable."

"There are no completely unsolvable forbidden zones in the Illusionary Realm."

"Our intelligence also mentioned that... Zero Sequence did not control the source of this disaster, but rather borrowed its power."

"In other words, the Zero Sequence is not the complete controller of this restricted area."

This is the information brought by Lotte.

The intelligence report did not mention the source of the problem, only providing some scattered, meaningless magical text.

Izparut was responsible for deducing the information behind these magical texts.

All the results pointed to the forbidden zone—the initial zero point.

Brave and Fearless: "So, boss, are we really going to become students of the Academy?"

"Yes, firsthand experience is definitely different from reading books with your senses."

Despite concerns about the outside world, the brave and fearless also harbor some hidden expectations.

He had never been exposed to any other system before, and the academy in this other world seemed quite interesting...

Zuya also shrunk his size slightly: "Learn."

Cang Qiong casually tossed out five admission notices, which were caught by the crowd.

God knows where he got it from...

Despite having only been in this world for less than half a day, he already possesses extraordinary abilities and has become a mysterious figure, seemingly the mastermind behind the world.

"I have identified the strongest fighting force on this planet."

"They pose no threat to us."

"It is worth noting the half-demon experiment project mentioned in the background of this world."

"The planned location is on another planet, a place we can't reach."

"There is not much information about this plan, but if it is completed, the people who return from the experiment may pose a threat."

"But these are just ideas."

"Now you are free to move around and familiarize yourselves with the details of this world."

After saying that, Cang Qiong casually picked up a miscellaneous book about this world and leaned back in his chair to slowly read it.
