After showing Si around a few places on the cruise ship, the seven of them entered a large private cabin with a view of the sea and waited silently for the game to begin.
"Sister Si, what kind of transportation do you use where you live?" Li Qianxia asked Si in a low voice.
"A starship. A very large spaceship."
How big is "very big"?
Si thought for a moment: "When it appears, a window will be like an eye staring at a planet—an eye about the size of your star."
"..." Li Qianxia was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
Even if one has become an immortal, it is unimaginable that such a huge spaceship could probably transport tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Earths.
Not far away, Li Changzhou, sitting on the sofa, also reminded himself that he should not be complacent because he had recently destroyed a planet, nor should he let his guard down because of the time stop.
Especially since they were about to enter the dungeon, their opponent possessed at least equal strength, and he could die at any moment.
"Passengers, the cruise ship is about to anchor. Please prepare for the countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
Everyone snapped out of their reverie.
"Keep it up!" Li Qianxia said.
The group, whose mood had become heavy, couldn't help but smile slightly.
Even Si, who is devoid of emotions, felt a slight decrease in fear, despite not being happy.
Rumble!
Endless iron chains stretched out from the ship's hull, extending into the depths of the night sky, locking away the stars.
As if pulled closer by chains, the stars that were locked up instantly became brighter, and it looked as if dozens of moons were hanging on the sea.
With a loud thud, the massive ship was anchored and came to a stop.
"...2, 1, 0!"
Have a pleasant journey and good night.
The cold wind howled, and the icy wind lashed my face like a whip, like a knife cutting.
Li Changzhou struggled to open his eyes and saw a gray world, with heavy snow filling the surroundings like mist, obscuring his vision.
He looked up, the wind blowing off his hood, and his eyes looked around.
He was in a traveling caravan, and everyone in front of and behind him—including himself—was on horseback, with lanterns lit on their saddles.
In the cold wind, both horses and people bowed their heads and moved forward silently like ghosts.
A real ghost flashed by like a jellyfish in the snow mist, and just as it seemed to have disappeared, it suddenly rushed out of the snow and crashed into the lamplight, shattering with a bang!
Except for one child who glanced up, everyone else kept their faces down, heads bowed, as if the cold wind was the owner of the wallet on their waist.
"Phew!" Li Changzhou exhaled.
He withdrew his gaze from the distance, and his breath formed white characters in front of him.
[Time: 56 years after the cataclysm]
Location: Mysterious Island
[Background: 56 years ago, a mysterious substance fell from the sky, bringing 'great power' to the world]
[Identity: Captain of the Shadow Team]
Main Quest: Inheriting the Dao Through the Physical Body
[Mission Objective: Obtain three additional 'Great Powers']
[Note: Do not gaze into the abyss]
[Note: In this game, only the player's basic physical attributes will be retained; all other abilities will be replaced with a 'Great Power'. The stronger the existing ability, the stronger the 'Great Power' obtained.]
Just as I saw the last word, a cold wind blew in, scattering all the words and making me wonder if everything I had just seen was an illusion.
Teleportation disappeared, time stop disappeared, the Emerald Bee Sword disappeared, the backpack disappeared, and the [Divine Body] that could destroy a star with a single blow disappeared.
Even though Li Changzhou was prepared to face any unexpected situation, when his power disappeared, he still felt a sense of panic that he couldn't control—his emotional control had also vanished.
“Interesting. As the winner, must one win and survive in all sorts of harsh and unfamiliar circumstances?” He chuckled twice. After laughing, his emotions stabilized and his mind became resolute again.
What needs to be done now is to immediately familiarize yourself with that 'great power' that you have acquired with all your abilities.
At the edge of the lantern's light, a black hand as tall as a person emerged from the shadows and pulled up Li Changzhou's hood, which had been blown off by the wind when he looked up.
After doing this, Black Hand protected him in the cold wind and blizzard as if protecting a candle flame.
The cold wind subsided immediately, and Li Changzhou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had arrived in heaven. This godforsaken place was just too cold.
He could certainly endure it with his willpower, but there was no benefit to it; it would just be pure masochism, and he had no interest in that.
The only child who had looked up earlier stared intently at him, filled with unspeakable envy and admiration.
Li Changzhou's heart stirred, and several more black hands, like shadowy octopuses, stretched out to protect everyone. Satisfied sighs of relief for escaping a calamity rang out in unison.
"Captain! No need to hide your identity anymore?!" A thin old man rode up from behind on horseback, his black hands seemingly welded to the horse's back as he followed him.
Li Changzhou had no extra memories, didn't recognize the old man, and didn't know his name, but he wasn't flustered because of this.
"Let's focus on surviving first," he said.
The old man said nothing, but pulled a map from his baggage on horseback and unfolded it, which was covered with markings.
"Captain—" he practically roared to drown out the wind, "At our pace! Another half hour! and we'll see 'Snowstorm Town'!"
Li Changzhou nodded silently.
The old man turned around and roared, "Wheel! Plowshare! Go scout ahead!"
"Understood!" The two well-dressed young men urged their horses to quicken their pace.
