After confirming that there were no more monsters nearby, Lu Ning continued to close the rift.
This was the easiest one yet; there wasn't even a fight.
After closing the rift in the central Pacific region, Bai Yuan opened a spatial passage to the No. 4 Mist.
Because the space within the misty area is different from the outside, Bai Yuan cannot pinpoint its location accurately and can only open the spatial passage in the outer area of the mist.
The group then slowly moved toward the direction of the crack.
Along the way, they encountered many monster corpses.
The monsters' corpses all died tragically, mostly turned into minced meat, as if they had been crushed by some terrifying force.
Among these dead monsters, some were enormous and clearly quite powerful.
However, there is no difference between these powerful monsters and the weak ones.
Soon, they arrived at the area where the crack was located.
That was the central area of a forest.
The area appears to have been the site of a major battle; numerous trees have fallen, and the ground is riddled with potholes.
Wearing battle armor, Luo Xingchen sat on a fallen tree trunk.
Around Luo Xingchen was a twisted, enormous meat pie.
Even though the meat pie was dead, it still emitted a powerful spiritual energy.
Demigod level.
This is clearly a demigod-level monster manifested through the influence of the rift.
However, such a monster met a very tragic end when it faced Luo Xingchen.
Seeing Lu Ning and his group approach, Luo Xingchen stood up and nodded to them.
Xuanxu glanced at the corpse on the ground, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes.
Whether it was Yan Bing before or Luo Xingchen now, the demigod-level monsters they encountered were all quite powerful.
If he could participate in the kill, he would have a few more powerful Mirror Remains.
This will greatly enhance his strength.
What a pity.
Rodrigo laughed and said, "Star, we're done on our end, now it's just your turn."
Luo Xingchen nodded slightly: "Mm."
"Lu Ning, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Bai Yuan looked at Lu Ning and said.
Lu Ning shook his head: "It's what I should do."
As before, Lu Ning continued to close the barrier cracks.
When the crack closed and everything returned to calm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuanxu stretched and said, "It's finally over. Now there shouldn't be any problems for a while, right?"
Everyone looked at Yan Bing.
After all, among them, Yan Bing was the one who knew the cracks in the barrier best.
Yan Bing frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "If it were before, there would be no problem for at least a few years or at most several decades. But the last time the barrier crack appeared not long ago, and this time five cracks have appeared directly. Nobody knows what will happen next. It's best to stay vigilant at all times."
Upon hearing this, Xuanxu and the others felt heavy-hearted.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yuan said, "Let's go back first and talk about it then."
Everyone snapped out of their daze and nodded.
"Let's go back first. I want to eat some snacks. I'm a little hungry after so many matches." Xuanxu rubbed his stomach.
He then looked at Lu Ning and said, "I have some new chocolates, would you like some?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Then let's have some."
To be honest, with Lu Ning's current strength, he could survive without eating.
But for Lu Ning, eating was a pleasure.
Humans should eat.
…………
We returned to Base City 1.
The group arrived at Xuanxu's room.
Lu Ning explained the situation of the illusory figure, and the atmosphere immediately became extremely tense.
Everyone had a furrowed brow and an unpleasant expression.
"If the phantoms materialize in the base city... given their strength, the situation could be dire; a base city might collapse instantly." Ren Yun rubbed his forehead and exhaled deeply.
"But we have no other choice right now. After all, the existence of the base city is necessary, otherwise ordinary people would have nowhere to go."
"Yes, these phantoms are everywhere. They can be found even in the most heavily fortified Base 1 city. How can we avoid them?"
After discussing it for a while, everyone was at a loss and had no choice but to give up on the discussion.
Then Ren Yun looked at Lu Ning and Yan Bing with some curiosity: "Lu Ning, what exactly is the Land of Return to Nothingness like?"
Lu Ning calmly recounted what had happened in the Ruins of Return.
Everyone was stunned when they heard that the Tower of Ruins could materialize anything.
When they heard that a civilization in the exiled city-state possessed an artifact, all the demigods' expressions changed constantly.
Especially after hearing that pale crystals were needed to manifest anything, Xuanxu couldn't sit still.
He looked at Yan Bing and asked, "Can't we really go to the Ruins of Return?"
Yan Bing calmly said, "No, if so many demigods go there, it will inevitably cause the exiles to ostracize us, and the situation will only get worse."
After all, there are only so many monsters in the wilderness of the Ruins of Return, and so many races need to compete for them.
If so many demigods were to enter the Ruins of Return to hunt monsters and obtain Pale Crystals...
This means that other civilizations will inevitably obtain fewer Pale Crystals.
How could the exiles possibly be willing to accept that?
Ren Yun and the others also figured out the reason behind this.
Their expressions changed, and some fell silent.
“Sister Yanbing is right. If humanity is a civilization of exiles, then I wouldn’t be happy if someone came to steal the Pale Crystal. It’s a basic resource for survival.” Xuanxu sighed.
