"Because your strength is weaker than the other realm lords, I have specially prepared a powerful sanctuary for you. If you encounter a powerful enemy, you can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao within it."
The concept of Heavenly Dao explained.
"Thanks..."
Zhang Mu was deeply moved; Heaven had been too kind to him.
"Go."
Then, the Heavenly Dao watched Zhang Mu enter the passage and disappear into the main world.
"Sigh... I hope everything goes well..."
Heaven murmured to itself.
......
The space kept changing, accompanied by a burst of white light.
Zhang Mu descended into the gray fog world.
The first thing you see is a hazy, gray fog.
A stranger fell into the gray fog, instantly like a lamb falling into a pack of wolves.
The gray mist began to relentlessly erode Zhang Mu's body, and even his soul was being devoured.
He dared not delay and immediately threw the shelter that Heaven had given him into an open space.
"Bang!"
A huge castle appeared out of nowhere.
Along with this, a huge protective shield isolates the gray fog.
"What a troublesome thing."
Zhang Mu began to look around, but he couldn't see clearly because of the gray fog.
He wasn't in a hurry; he first began to familiarize himself with the facilities inside the castle.
"Everything is available; it seems that Heaven has considered things very thoroughly."
Zhang Mu was very satisfied; this way, he wouldn't have to worry about having a mental breakdown if he stayed in this world for too long.
He looked up at the sky, where there were two moons.
A white moon, a blood moon.
The two lights intertwined and overlapped, and under the illumination of the two different moonlights, combined with the gray fog, everything looked so eerie.
"Could life exist in such a world?"
Zhang Mu frowned. As a powerful Realm Lord, he could only temporarily resist the erosion of the gray mist. For other life forms, there would be no hope of survival.
"A bizarre world."
In the days that followed, Zhang Mu observed the situation of this world from inside the castle.
Currently, it appears that the fog is not a persistent phenomenon.
When the two moons completely overlap, that is, when the white moon obscures the blood moon, the gray fog will dissipate, revealing the true appearance of the world.
When the blood moon reappears, the gray fog will return and cover the entire world.
The two are eight hours apart, calculated using Zhang Mu's world time.
In other words, Zhang Mu's safe time outside was only eight hours.
He spent the last few days investigating the surrounding area, trying to find life forms in this world.
But the result disappointed him; there was no life in the vicinity, not even basic green vegetation.
They were all dark purple, strangely shaped things.
Zhang Mu didn't know what it was either, but guessed it was a unique feature of the Gray Fog World.
Although no other life forms were found, Zhang Mu did not give up the search.
He began to draw a topographical map of the world, with his castle at the center.
"I wonder where the other realm lords are. If we can find them, we can exchange information."
Zhang Mu thought to himself.
Those six realm lords entered the Gray Mist World almost ten months earlier than Zhang Mu. They must have explored quite a lot in that time.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhang Mu explored the gray fog world as usual.
Suddenly, a blood moon appeared in the sky.
Zhang Mu's expression changed; he knew best what this meant.
Gray fog is coming!
Sure enough, within just a few breaths, gray mist suddenly appeared around them.
"Damn it! What's going on? There should still be four hours left until the eight-hour mark!"
Zhang Mu quickly ran towards his castle.
As the gray fog enveloped him, he lost all sight, but he was certain that as long as he kept running towards the castle and nothing unexpected happened along the way, he would arrive.
"Hiss... hiss..."
While walking quickly, Zhang Mu was suddenly entangled by something.
"break!"
Zhang Mu quickly mobilized his power to shatter the restraints, and then countless indescribable things kept rushing towards Zhang Mu.
"Finally, I've met other life forms in this world."
Zhang Mu frowned as he examined the scene, but due to the gray fog, he could only see things within a three-meter radius.
These monsters are bizarre in appearance and emit waves of mental fluctuations that disturb one's mind.
Without further hesitation, he immediately killed the monsters.
The only thing that gave Zhang Mu a sigh of relief was that these monsters were very weak to him and could be killed easily.
The slain monsters leave no body behind; instead, they turn into a pool of liquid and merge into the earth.
"Can't kill them all... is it endless?"
Zhang Mu abandoned the massacre and continued flying towards his castle.
Along the way, various monsters tried to stop Zhang Mu, attempting to drag him into the darkness, but they were all shattered by the shield he erected with his powerful energy.
"A bizarre world, a world where normal life could not possibly be born."
Zhang Mu said with certainty.
After an hour, Zhang Mu finally entered his shelter safely.
As Zhang Mu emerged from the gray fog, the monsters that had been chasing him also retreated unwillingly, disappearing into the gray fog.
After this unexpected situation, Zhang Mu dared not stray too far from the castle before figuring out the patterns of the blood moon's changes.
"Since there are these monsters in the gray fog, then the monsters cannot only be the weak ones; there must be more powerful ones among them."
Zhang Mu analyzed the situation.
Fortunately, I entered the Gray Fog World with all my strength, unlike reincarnation where I had to start from scratch.
Even considering the original Journey to the West world, the Realm Lord's strength was equivalent to that of a late-stage Quasi-Saint.
Dealing with these monsters nowadays is a piece of cake.
However, we must be careful in everything we do, since it is a threat to the main world, and there must be beings comparable to world lords.
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Zhang Mu dared not stray too far, but instead observed the patterns of the blood moon's changes within the castle.
Through his observations, he also roughly figured out some of the patterns of the blood moon.
As usual, the safe activity period lasts for eight hours.
However, every month there are days when the activity only lasts four hours.
Zhang Mu called it the Blood Moon Day.
He also experimented with the conditions under which the monsters in the gray fog would appear.
The monsters will be attracted if they are exposed to the gray fog for more than a minute.
"How am I supposed to conquer this world?"
Zhang Mu was at a loss for what to do.
In the past, when conquering other worlds, there was always a clear goal: either to become the strongest in the world or to change the world order and lead the development of the race.
But what about this world? What goals? All we know so far is some information about the Gray Fog. Becoming stronger? We're not even sure if this world has an advancement system.
World order? Damn, we've never seen any other intelligent life forms, and our races have only ever seen monsters in the gray fog.
"System? What do we do now?"
When in doubt, turn to the system.
Zhang Mu decisively sought help from his system.
The omnipotent system will always provide a solution. All he has to do is cling to his big brother's leg and wait to be carried to success.
