'His suggestion is fine too,' Li Changzhou said, puzzled.

Is it his place to make decisions here?

Yaochi didn't mention the witch's mind-reading ability, but deliberately acted arrogantly.

"...Now I finally understand why they say serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; an emperor's heart is fickle."

'how do you say?'

"Hmm—" Li Changzhou took out a gold coin belonging to Li Qianxia, ​​tossed it into the air, and then held it in his palm. "Heads or tails? You guessed right. If there's danger, let the useless old Taoist go first."

He tossed a coin himself, letting it land whichever way he wanted.

If a coin is tossed in front of Yaochi, can't she see whether it lands heads or tails?

The key point is that he made her guess first whether it was heads or tails.

From Li Changzhou's perspective, he trusted Yaochi and believed in her experience in managing subordinates.

The condition was added that "if there is danger, let the useless old Taoist go first." In any case, if there is danger, one of these people must go first, so why can't it be the useless old Taoist?

In Yaochi's eyes, it was affection.

Li Changzhou didn't want to kill anyone, but since she did, she had no choice but to find a way to agree.

Yaochi didn't guess.

She told him about the witch's mind-reading abilities, and then said, "You guess first."

'I was wrong, this isn't the heart of an emperor, it's the heart of a woman.' Li Changzhou put away the gold coins.

The two exchanged a few words in private, and the deal was finalized ahead. After all, there was really no time to waste, as players could discover the ancient ship at any moment.

Both sides chose one end and began their search.

Li Changzhou and his group walked at the stern of the boat.

Stepping onto the deck feels like returning to the land of life's stars, surrounded by serene scenery, with sacred mountains and fairy palaces suspended in the clouds.

It was vibrant with life, yet deathly silent.

"Such a powerful ancient ship, lost in the universe, became a dead end." Everyone felt awe.

Such an ancient ship possesses four different kinds of divine will, meaning its owner must be terrifyingly powerful!

While worried, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. Among the four kinds of divine will, there was a high possibility that there were divine wills at the stellar level, or even the stellar system level or spiral arm level!

Li Changzhou ordered that the group be divided into three groups of five, with fifteen people in total, to search.

He was in a group with Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, ​​Yaochi, and Bi.

The divine sense swept across the land, finding nothing unusual, except for the most magnificent ten-tiered palace, which blocked the divine sense.

"Let's go take a look!" Bi took the lead and flew into the sky.

Not only them, but another group of players also noticed this. Looking around, they saw a group of meteors shooting upwards against the sky, heading towards the Ten Palaces.

The other two groups were also rushing into the sky.

The palace is really high, farther than the distance from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere. If this were a planet with life, it wouldn't be anything special, but this is a ship!

"Be careful, everyone," Li Changzhou said, flicking his finger to blast open a palace gate.

The gate slowly opened, and an ancient and timeless aura wafted out, as if it were not the opening of a door, but the turning of a page of ancient history.

Inside the palace, there were no furnishings, only a volcano, which was chained up by hundreds of thick iron chains, as if the volcano were a prisoner.

With a tap of her Ruyi scepter, Yang Qinglan sent an information booklet flying from the volcano.

She glanced at it and shook her head at the four of them.

The information booklet only shows news from the last three days. This ancient ship has been "stranded" for who knows how many years. Let alone three days, even three hundred years, it probably wouldn't move a speck of dust.

“There’s something inside the volcano,” Yaochi said.

Dressed in red, she possesses a vast array of skills, making it fair to call her a pseudo-omnipotent.

With time running out, there was no way to use props like puppets to slowly probe the enemy, so everyone rushed forward.

Midway through, Li Changzhou caught Bi.

"What?" Bi asked, puzzled.

"Same as always, you're in charge of defense." Li Changzhou carried Bi on his back.

"Don't think I don't know you look down on me and think I'm the weakest, so you're protecting me!" Bi not only didn't appreciate it, but also used her thin arms to strangle Li Changzhou's neck.

However, she didn't get off him.

Li Qianxia smiled from the side.

Inside the volcano, there is an endless expanse of lava.

“That’s not right,” Li Qianxia said in surprise. “I didn’t sense any energy fluctuations. It’s just a volcano here. Given the size of this volcano, it’s impossible for it to have such a large lava lake.”

It's really amazing.

If you sense energy fluctuations, there's nothing strange about it. They have hundreds, if not thousands, of the Mustard Seed containing Mount Sumeru magic.

The key is that there are no energy fluctuations.

“Now is not the time to study this. Let’s build a telekinetic portal in the lava.” Li Changzhou said to Bidao behind him.

Bi raised her little hand and threw a punch.

Boom!

An invisible and intangible force runs through the surface of the lava lake.

It was invisible, pitch black, like an abyss.

Li Changzhou swooped down, followed closely by the three of them.

The surroundings were crimson, with occasional purplish-red substances drifting by, capable of scorching through the mental barriers of even immortal-level beings!

As the five people ventured deeper, they encountered more and more of this substance until it filled all around them.

To keep the passage open, Bi's blonde hair was soaked with sweat, and the lines drawn with a gold pen stuck to her face.

The four men did not offer any assistance; they were fully focused and vigilant of their surroundings.

Even immortals, whether human or earth immortals, can't help but feel a bit thalassophobia when entering the bottom of such a lava lake, worrying about what would happen if the lava collapsed.

"It's been an hour," Yaochi said, calculating the time.

The five people had been diving for a full hour. A volcano shouldn't have such a large lake, nor should it be so deep.

Half an hour later, the five of them finally reached the underground.

A purple lake ripples in the sky, with only one platform at the bottom. On the platform is a throne, and on the throne sits a person.
