Compared to Lu Ning's calmness, Aishalin and the others' expressions changed, and their expressions were very solemn.
Their gazes swept around, and Su Qi couldn't help but chuckle dryly, "Ling Chuan, what you're saying is too frightening."
Steve nodded in agreement: "Exactly, don't scare us. We're real people now, not in your loop."
The moment the topic of cycles came up, everyone fell silent.
Su Qi glanced around, somewhat surprised and uncertain, and said, "Speaking of which... could we be in a cycle like Ling Chuan now?"
An Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "We'll see if we try. Let's leave the ruins and head to the main road!"
The group nodded and moved toward the main road.
Ling Chuan followed them silently.
However, when they left their previous location and ran for about a kilometer, the surrounding space suddenly distorted.
The next moment, Lu Ning and the others' vision blurred, and then everyone returned to their original positions.
An Lan and the others' faces immediately turned ashen.
Ling Chuan burst into laughter: "As expected... as expected, it's still the same! You've entered the cycle too!"
Steve's expression turned grim as he exclaimed, "How could this happen?!"
He still remembers what Ling Chuan said before: he would be the first to die!
That seemed to be his destiny.
Aishalin glanced around and then asked, "Lingchuan, you've been here for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual? Haven't you thought about how to break out of the loop?"
Ling Chuan immediately laughed and said, "We've thought about it, we've all thought about it, and we've tried to find a way out, but we haven't succeeded. If we could find a way out of this cycle, would I still be trapped here?"
Everyone fell silent.
An Lan said thoughtfully, "Let's try again."
The group tried again, and this time, they chose a different path.
As before, they were teleported back to their original location.
Just then, Lu Ning, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Let's go this way."
He walked in the opposite direction from the main road.
Everyone was taken aback.
Then Su Qi asked with some surprise, "Lu Ning, what did you find wrong?"
Ling Chuan was somewhat incredulous and said, "Impossible! If it were really possible to find it, why didn't you leave the loop before..."
Ling Chuan paused at this point.
That didn't seem to be Lu Ning before.
It could be his hallucination, or it could be a phantom from time itself.
Lu Ning calmly replied, "I didn't find anything unusual."
The crowd was somewhat taken aback.
An Lan frowned and asked, "Then why are you going this way?"
"Feel."
Upon hearing Lu Ning say those two words, the others actually showed relaxed expressions.
Steve grinned. "Great, we're saved!"
Lu Ning's feeling was practically the same as reality.
Along their journey, Lu Ning had sensed it many times, and each time it proved that his intuition was correct.
The group followed Lu Ning, passing through piles of rubble and venturing deeper into the ruins.
Soon, An Lan frowned and said, "Something's not right. I feel the erosion of time is getting stronger."
Steve's expression was also grave: "I can feel my physical condition getting worse and worse."
Although only a short while had passed, Steve felt as if he had spent half a day in the ruins.
If this continues, he could age a hundred years in just one day!
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Steve's spine.
Aisalind also spoke up, saying, "I can feel the erosion of time."
Su Qi nodded as well.
Lu Ning, however, showed no reaction.
He glanced at Ling Chuan, whose already aged face looked even more aged.
Furthermore, Lu Ning could sense that Ling Chuan's spiritual power was rapidly weakening.
I'm getting too old, and my strength is starting to decline.
Ling Chuan, however, didn't care and continued to follow them silently.
Lu Ning withdrew his gaze and quickly stopped.
"It's right here."
Lu Ning's gaze swept around and landed on a pile of rubble not far away.
He sensed something was wrong with the pile of rubble.
Although he didn't know why he had this feeling.
He took a deep breath, and pale flames burned around him.
Lu Ning raised the Soul-Shaking Fist to an extremely high level, stepped forward, and threw a straight punch.
Boom!!
The air was compressed, and a violent burst of fist energy surged forth, landing on the pile of rubble.
The pile of rubble suddenly exploded as if it had been hit by a missile, scattering debris everywhere.
Soon, the pile of rubble was leveled, revealing the ground beneath.
When they saw the ground, An Lan and the others were all stunned.
They exchanged a somewhat surprised and uncertain glance.
Steve asked, "Was the surface of Base City 65 originally like this?"
Aishalin shook her head: "Impossible. Although the base city is different due to its environment, it is impossible for it to be so luxurious as to make the ground out of metal and even engrave patterns on it."
After the rubble pile broke apart, a bronze-colored metal surface was revealed, with patterns of meshing gears on it.
These patterns radiate a bronze luster.
In Lu Ning's vision, these patterns were radiating ripples, which seemed to be affecting everything around them.
Lu Ning pondered for a moment, guessing that this might be a manifestation of the laws of time.
Lu Ning brushed his hand across the spatial bracelet, and the Crimson Sword and the Crown of Pain appeared.
