Ye Wushang ignored Shen Yunhao's wild thoughts. He stretched out his finger and gently tapped a spot on the unremarkable door.

"Crunch—crunch—"

A heavy scraping sound, accompanied by a rustling of falling dust, echoed in the silent passage as the heavy stone door began to slowly open inward.

When Shen Yunhao saw the material and style of the door, he was shocked: the door to this secret chamber was actually... a bronze door!

The door is covered with mottled, ancient marks of time, simple and desolate, exuding a special aura that separates two worlds...

Shen Yunhao had encountered similar bronze doors twice before.

The first time was deep underground in the Dragon Blood Sect, behind that door, where evil souls and blood energy were hidden, along with the Ten Thousand Demon Prison.

The second time was in the ancestral land of the North Sea Dragon Clan, where that door isolated the outside world from the source of the Dragon Clan's heritage!

Behind each bronze door lies a small, secluded realm, independent of the outside world.

No wonder Ye Wushang lives in this Xuanming Palace; there is actually a secret realm with a bronze gate hidden underground!

Who exactly is this person whom even the Demon Emperor needs to personally convey a message to, and who needs to meet him in such a place?

After opening the bronze door, Ye Wushang did not step inside. Instead, he turned to Shen Yunhao behind him and said, "Go in. Someone is waiting for you inside."

Shen Yunhao's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. He clasped his hands slightly and walked straight in.

The bronze door slowly closed behind us, shutting out the heavy, ancient sound.

Shen Yunhao had originally thought that such a gloomy underground depth would be a terrifying scene, but unexpectedly... the moment his foot landed, the scene before him underwent a dramatic change, and everything became clear and bright!

The expected cold, damp, and eerie scene did not materialize.

What came into view was a living room that was decorated quite warmly and even felt somewhat familiar!

That's right, it's that kind of 21st-century style living room that he was so familiar with in another distant memory!

Soft fabric sofas, transparent glass coffee tables, and even a large-screen TV hanging on the opposite wall, with soft lighting falling from the ceiling, make the whole space bright and comfortable.

He had only seen such a scene once before, inside Mo Yan's body, since his rebirth.

That was because Mo Yan deliberately simulated the scene after reading the fragments of memories about "the other side" in his mind.

Seeing this familiar modern setting again, Shen Yunhao could hardly believe his eyes.

An incredibly bold, even insane, idea exploded in his mind like lightning, instantly making his blood boil!

Could it be... that behind this mysterious bronze door lies another dimension?

It was the modern dimension where he lived for eighteen years, called the 21st Century Earth.

The Tianji Continent and Earth, two seemingly unrelated worlds, actually have a direct connection?

This is simply...unbelievable!

"You seem... quite familiar with this place?"

Just as Shen Yunhao was feeling excited, a low and calm young man's voice rang out from behind him.

Shen Yunhao suddenly turned his head to look.

A man who looked to be in his early twenties was seen slowly walking out of the kitchen area connected to the living room.

He wasn't exceptionally handsome, but he was very clean-cut and looked quite refined. He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and gray casual trousers, and his expression was relaxed.

It's worth noting that the man was carrying a tray with two steaming cups of...coffee?

The man walked to the sofa, placed the tray on the coffee table, and then gestured to Shen Yunhao, his tone remaining very calm.

"Please sit down..."

Perhaps it was the man's gentle attitude that calmed Shen Yunhao's excitement and nervousness.

He walked over as instructed, sat down on the sofa opposite, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the dark brown liquid in the glass. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up one of the glasses, brought it to his lips, and carefully took a sip.

A familiar and rich bitterness and mellow aroma spread across the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a subtle caramel sweetness.

It definitely tastes like coffee, no doubt about it!

Moreover, the flavor was rich, mellow, and complex, far more refined and delicious than most of the instant or ordinary coffee he had drunk in the 21st century.

After finishing his drink, Shen Yunhao looked up and found that the man on the other side was also quietly observing him.

The man's pupils were a normal brownish-black, but whether it was an illusion or not, Shen Yunhao seemed to catch a faint, fleeting glimpse of a ghostly blue light within that deep black, like a mysterious phosphorescent glow passing through the deep sea, eerie and unsettling.

Seeing Shen Yunhao look up, the man smiled slightly, appearing very natural and casual. He pointed to the coffee and said, "How does it taste? Recently, Xiaoyu has been addicted to games, sitting up until the middle of the night. She insisted that I make her something to keep her awake..."

"Addicted to...games?"

Upon suddenly hearing such modern-sounding words, Shen Yunhao felt a strong sense of unreality, as if the boundary between the two worlds had become blurred at this moment.

However, facing this person, he truly did not feel any pressure from the other party befitting a "superior." He composed himself, savored the lingering taste in his mouth for a moment, and then nodded in his evaluation:

"Silky smooth and rich, with a lingering aroma, although I haven't tried many coffees, this one... is truly a delicacy!"

Unexpectedly, the man opposite him blinked, a mischievous expression appearing on his face, and scratched his head, saying:

"But this...it's just instant coffee I bought casually at the convenience store downstairs..."

"..."

Shen Yunhao's expression instantly froze, his hand holding the coffee cup hovering in mid-air. An awkward atmosphere filled the air...

After a full three seconds of silence, Shen Yunhao coughed and forced a smile, trying to save face, "Well... cough cough, could you tell me what brand it is? I'd like to buy some some sometime..."

Seeing his embarrassed yet forced composure, the man couldn't help but chuckle and wave his hand, "Just kidding. To brew such delicious coffee, you're missing one crucial thing compared to me..."

"Hmm?" Shen Yunhao looked at him with some doubt, waiting for him to continue.

The other party just smiled without saying a word, and did not explain what the "key thing" was. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I called you here today because Wu Shang discovered something interesting about you. However, before we talk about serious matters, you can ask me anything you want to ask, as a way to... satisfy your curiosity."
