"A planet floating in the sea like an island? How is that possible!" the knight muttered to himself.
“Your Majesty,” the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden walked to Li Changzhou’s side, “Shanhai City should have a barrier similar to the one that can contain Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed. It may not look big from the outside, but it is actually vast and boundless. If I am not mistaken, those mountains are as majestic as Mount Buzhou.”
"That's right, that's right."
The unfamiliar voice instantly brought everyone back to their senses from their immersion in the wonderland!
Turning my head, I saw a chubby little beast standing in the void, nodding repeatedly in agreement with the words of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"...A Qilin?" The goddesses and fairies immediately recognized the little beast, but were not sure.
"That's right, that's right, I am a Qilin." The little beast puffed out its chest.
It wasn't a translation; the little beast was saying the word 'Qilin' in ancient Xia language.
"Why would a Qilin appear here?" The fairies were puzzled. Earth was so far away that they didn't know how far away it was, possibly even beyond the observable range, 46.5 billion light-years away.
"Qilin, are you a player too?" Li Qianxia guessed.
"No, no." Qilin shook his head. "I'm not a player, I'm a guide, which means I'm an official player. As for why I'm here... the game doesn't restrict this information, so I'll tell you for free—Shanhai City is one of the city lord's training grounds."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Changzhou had a flash of inspiration and remembered that "Black Handprint" was also called "The Great Emperor's Seal".
"The city lord you speak of," he said, his eyes probing, "is it God, or the Dao Ancestor?"
"Yes, yes." Qilin nodded.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It's not their fault; who would associate a city lord with the God of God?
Especially for cultivators like them, they would never think of the Dao Ancestor's status as something inferior.
Saints are immortal and can travel throughout the universe. It's not unusual for them to have one or two temples, or even a hundred thousand.
For example, the previous "Heavenly Will and Reincarnation" was also a place where a certain sage stayed briefly.
It can be inferred from this that the "Great Emperor's Seal" is an unparalleled divine power created by the "Black Hand" when he was the Great Emperor in a certain civilization, which is why it was named "Great Emperor's Seal" by the system.
"Alright, alright, that's the end of the question-and-answer session. Let's start choosing our territory," Qilin said.
"Choose a territory?" Yaochi asked in return.
Qilin didn't say much.
"Pah!" It spat out a ball of golden light, which transformed into a clock-sized disc in the air.
It was all wet and covered in saliva!
The Qilin raised its hoof and wiped its mouth: "Leader, leader, come on up. Spin the map, whichever one you draw. You can only use your hands, no cheating with any abilities allowed, understand?"
"The leader." Yaochi patted Li Changzhou on the back, a reminder that was by no means kind.
"Brother." Li Qianxia nodded, signaling him to go.
Li Changzhou looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The fairy-like concubine smiled gracefully, bowed slightly to show respect, and acknowledged Li Changzhou's unique leadership position.
Li Changzhou took a very difficult step.
"Qilin saliva is a spiritual medicine. Although it is not well-known, it is recorded as equivalent to dragon's saliva, capable of purifying the body and refining magical power," Yang Qinglan comforted her.
Li Changzhou turned around and gestured for her to come, meaning: Come on!
Yang Qinglan smiled without saying a word, remaining aloof from the world and never seeking fame or fortune.
Having no other choice, Li Changzhou had to go up.
He asked, unwilling to give up, "Can't we wash it with water first?"
"No, no, my saliva is an innate talent that lets me know if you've cheated. I can't wash it off!"
“…” Li Changzhou raised his hand.
The fairies squinted or leaned back, as if watching Li Changzhou deliberately step in dog poop.
Some pretended to be reluctant, but actually raised their sleeves and chuckled.
The small turntable is a map of Shanhai City, with hundreds of areas already lit up and few remaining dark areas.
Li Changzhou moved the pointer, which transformed into a small golden unicorn that repeatedly jumped around in the gray area. When it finally stopped, that area lit up.
"Not bad, not bad." Qilin flew onto Li Changzhou's shoulder at some point, watching him spin the roulette wheel as if he were peeking at someone's phone.
Li Changzhou's other shoulder was covered in jade.
He grabbed Li Qianxia, who was laughing the loudest, and wiped her clothes with his saliva-covered fingers.
"Ah—, indecent assault!" Li Qianxia shouted.
"Not bad?" Li Changzhou asked Qilin, "Is there any treasure in this place?"
Qilin stared at the struggling Li Qianxia and replied, "No, no, there's no treasure. Every area on the map has a destiny. Players who find the destiny are qualified to enter the inner city and go to the end of the Heavenly Road."
It looked at Li Changzhou and suddenly chuckled strangely, "Hehe, even if you can't find your own region, you can still steal the Heavenly Will from other regions. Alright, I'll send you there now!"
On the tender horns atop the Qilin's head, there are halos that ripple outwards.
The group seemed to be hypnotized by the ripples for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they had already moved to a different place.
The sea disappeared, leaving behind a dense jungle and in front of a pool of water.
The pool is located at the foot of a cliff, where a waterfall hangs from the cliff, its end invisible, as if it came from the vacuum of the universe.
The waterfall's impact has created a large pool that could easily be mistaken for a sea.
Standing at the edge of the pool, the water is crystal clear, with beautiful pebbles on the bottom and small fish playing and searching for food under the stones.
"This is it, this is it. This pool and waterfall are your territory. The reason I said this place is good is because the terrain is simple, making it relatively easy to find Tianyi. If you really can't find it, you can go into the forest. Here you go~"
