"I don't know what Heaven was thinking, that it had to be so reckless as to send us in here. I still don't understand how to conquer the Gray Mist World, I have absolutely no clue."
And that shelter provided by Heaven only had a bed and no other facilities. Do you know how bored I've been for the past year?
Chu Tianxiong kept talking.
Zhang Mu listened quietly, silently mourning for them. Fortunately, the castle that Heaven had given him was well-equipped.
There are all sorts of entertainment options available; otherwise, dealing with the gray fog every day would have driven me to the brink of a mental breakdown.
"Let's stop here for now. The gray fog is coming soon. Let's go to my shelter. Although the shelter provided by the Heavenly Dao is a bit small, it's more than enough to accommodate two people."
Chu Tianxiong stopped complaining.
"No need, come to my shelter instead, my place is bigger."
Aren't they all the same?
Chu Tianxiong didn't take it seriously until Zhang Mu took out his castle and placed it on the open ground, at which point he fell silent.
"See, my house is indeed bigger."
"You call this a little bigger!"
Chu Tianxiong glanced at his own wooden hut next to him, then at Zhang Mu's castle. His hut wasn't even as big as a single room in Zhang Mu's castle.
"I would believe you if you said you were the illegitimate child of the Heavenly Dao."
Chu Tianxiong looked at Zhang Mu with a strange expression.
Zhang Mu simply smiled and offered no explanation.
With this castle, who would still live in a wooden house?
Chu Tianxiong decisively packed up his wooden house and prepared to move into the castle.
"Wait, don't take the cabin."
"Oh, I almost forgot, the wooden house can also absorb the energy of the gray fog world to enhance the power of the Heavenly Dao on it."
Chu Tianxiong came to his senses.
Then Zhang Mu led Chu Tianxiong into his castle, gave him a good bath and a meal, and then they started to talk about serious business.
"You mean this gray fog world has two layers, just like the main world's double heavens!"
Chu Tianxiong was somewhat surprised.
"That's right, I discovered that by chance, and then there's..."
Zhang Mu recounted her discovery.
Chu Tianxiong's expression also turned serious.
“This gray fog world is indeed extraordinary. If you hadn’t discovered the problem, we would have stayed here until we died without any clue.”
He sighed.
"So if I want to conquer the Gray Fog World, I have to do it from both ends. Tomorrow is Blood Moon Day, which is also the day of mutation. I'm going to enter the Inner World."
In return, I need your cooperation in the surface world to verify a hypothesis. Of course, in addition to verifying the hypothesis, I also need you to find other realm lords.
There are only two of us now, so our efficiency is a bit low.
Zhang Mu said.
"Yes, I will cooperate with your plan, but how should we contact each other?"
Chu Tianxiong asked.
"Just take this, it's a communicator, it allows you to make calls across boundaries."
Zhang Mu handed him a walkie-talkie.
He bought these from the system store; they weren't expensive, only 10,000 system points for a pair.
"Okay, I understand."
Chu Tianxiong took the items and nodded.
"You're not going to take this castle with you, are you?"
He pointed to the ground.
"I won't take it with me. There was no one in the surface world before, so I didn't dare leave it there. Now that you're here, I feel at ease."
This thing needs to absorb energy from the gray fog to grow, but there is no gray fog in the inner world.
Zhang Mu shook his head.
"Phew...that's good..."
Chu Tianxiong smiled; he didn't want to live in that dilapidated wooden house anymore.
......
Soon, the monthly Blood Moon Day arrived once again.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Don't worry.
Zhang Mu said no more and broke through the space once again to enter the inner world.
Watching Zhang Mu disappear into the sky, Chu Tianxiong also began to get busy.
He hadn't been sitting idly by all year; after searching for so long, he had already explored most of the locations.
He believed that he would soon encounter other realm lords.
The scene changes.
Zhang Mu arrived in the inner world, but this time he didn't descend into the vicinity of the orcs.
"It seems that the locations in the two worlds correspond one-to-one; you enter from the same place and exit from the same place."
So they began searching for traces of other tribes.
Soon, a forest came into view.
"Elves? That's quite unusual."
Zhang Mu landed in the forest.
"Human, this is elven territory. Do not trespass."
After all, Zhang Mu hadn't hidden himself, so he was naturally spotted by the elves early on. When they saw him land in the forest, they naturally went to intercept him.
"Sorry, I'm new here and not familiar with anything."
"Just arrived in the Gray Fog World?"
"I asked the elf."
"Yes, my world was completely swallowed up by the gray fog world not long ago, and I ended up here by some strange coincidence."
Zhang Mu used the same excuse he had given before.
"I see. If you want to find human territory, you can see it if you travel hundreds of millions of miles in this direction."
The elf showed him a way.
Zhang Mu nodded. His only purpose was to ask for directions. Now that he had achieved his goal, he bid farewell to the elves and flew towards the human territory.
......
How's the situation on your end?
Back at his residence, Zhang Mu took out a walkie-talkie and asked.
"Everything as usual."
"How much time has passed?"
Five hours.
"It's been five hours for me too, so it seems that the flow of time is the same in both the real world and the virtual world."
Zhang Mu confirmed another piece of information.
"Shall we take action?"
"Yes, but you have to get to the designated location first, because I just discovered that the locations in the two worlds correspond to each other."
I am currently in human territory, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from where I descended. I need you to travel hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Zhang Mu reminded him.
"Okay, but by the time I get there, the fog will probably have dissipated, so I'll have to wait until next time."
"No rush, there's plenty of time."
The two ended their conversation.
Chu Tianxiong from the surface world immediately packed up the castle and his wooden house and headed in the direction Zhang Mu had given him.
Before leaving, Zhang Mu temporarily handed over control of the castle to Chu Tianxiong, so he was naturally able to take it back.
Another day has passed.
Zhang Mu arrived at the wilderness outside the territory.
Meanwhile, Chu Tianxiong from the surface world was also ready.
"The gray fog has already risen over here. Shall we make our move?"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Zhang Mu responded.
Soon, at Zhang Mu's command, Chu Tianxiong from the surface world began to wreak havoc in the gray fog.
As monsters died one by one, they merged into the earth.
In the wilderness of Zhang Mu's other world, monsters slowly began to materialize.
Zhang Mu rushed forward and killed him, then took a crystal core from his body.
To eliminate the possibility of chance in the experiment, Zhang Mu kept changing locations to try.
Whenever Chu Tianxiong kills a monster in the outer world, a new monster will spawn at the same location in the inner world.
Zhang Mu smiled. He hadn't expected that the secret that the Gray Fog World had painstakingly hidden would be discovered so quickly.
"So, what did the experiment yield?"
Chu Tianxiong took a moment to ask.
"Yes, the results are in, just as I suspected..."
Zhang Mu slowly explained his guesses and experimental results to Chu Tianxiong.
The latter was also very shocked upon hearing this, never expecting that the Gray Fog World would resort to such tactics.
Without someone's cooperation, you'll never discover the secrets of the Gray Fog World in your entire life.
