Global Awakening: Join the chat group at the beginning

Chapter 2037 The Heaven-Covering Dragon Talisman and Mortal Cultivation, the "World-Level Information Fog" function has been activated.

Beyond that world beyond the reach of distance, Zhou Zhe's figure had already appeared in a void where the rules and atmosphere were completely unfamiliar.

A system notification sounded in his mind.

[Emergency escape complete. Successfully escaped the Marvel multiverse.]

Current location: Unknown secondary dimension gap.

[Initiating scan of nearby observable world bubbles. Scan complete, seven worlds with stable physical rules and signs of civilization discovered.]

[Please select the next observation target, or initiate random teleportation.]

[Friendly reminder: According to the new agreement, upon entering a new world next time, the 'World-Level Information Fog' will be activated first. We wish you a pleasant observation.]

Looking at the seven world images projected by the system in front of him, Zhou Zhe stroked his chin, as if the previous incident was just a trivial ripple.

The system thoughtfully provided each world with a brief name and information, allowing him to instantly understand its background.

However, for him, these worlds don't need to be labeled and there's no problem.

【Covering the Sky】: A vast starry sea, where emperors vie for supremacy, and with a flick of their fingers they can cover the sky. Above the sacrificial path, there is a transcendence of everything, beyond description.

【Dragon Talisman】: A sacrificial edict to Heaven, granting everyone sainthood and the power to become like a dragon. With a single thought, one can change the world and transform into the very essence of the realm, becoming the supreme box.

【A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality】: Step by step, with spiritual roots and immortal destiny, killing to seize treasures, ascending to the spirit realm, fighting against true immortals again, and many corpses on the road to immortality.

Food Wars!: Food is the ultimate feast for the senses, a battle of culinary skills, supernatural abilities, clothing explosions, and more.

【Game of Life】: All disputes are decided by the game, Blank will never be defeated, racial war, Star Cup battle.

【Himouto! Umaru-chan】: The dual life of a beautiful girl and a stay-at-home otaku, heartwarming daily life, funny and healing.

【How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend】: A youthful story of love and dreams set in a school, club, and bishoujo game production.

"."

"Let's not even talk about fantasy worlds like 'Covering the Sky' and 'Dragon Talisman,' which are prone to destroying the world and eventually surpassing everything to become the box itself, or the cultivation world of 'Mortal Cultivation,' which is fraught with danger and full of old tricks."

"Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Himouto! Umaru-chan, and Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend? The art style is so different from the others!" Zhou Zhe's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but complain.

The other worlds at least have powerful combat systems and are full of dangers, while these are just slice-of-life anime!

Despite his complaints, Zhou Zhe wasn't surprised by it.

He had long known that the time travel mechanism of his [All-Civilization Observation and Recording System] was random, designed to provide him with as many diverse "civilization samples" as possible for observation.

The peaceful everyday world, with its social structure, interpersonal relationships, and cultural development patterns, is also of great observational value, and in some aspects, it can even better reflect the intrinsic characteristics of civilization than a world engulfed in war.

He began to think about it seriously.

"The worlds of 'Covering the Sky' and 'Dragon Talisman' are directly rejected."

Without hesitation, he set aside these two most terrifying world bubbles.

"The timeline isn't important; the key issue is that the ceiling is too high."

"The realms above the sacrificial path are truly exaggerated. Gu Chensha has simply become the realm itself, and everything is defined by him."

"Even if I have the system, I can't protect myself from them."

"Although given their level and mindset, they might not be interested in my system, what if? What if they develop even a slight curiosity about something from outside the world?"

"At that point, even the system will have a hard time getting me out of here."

The risks and rewards are completely disproportionate, so I won't go.

His gaze shifted to the world bubble of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

It was a cultivation civilization with a strict hierarchy and brutal competition for resources, centered on cultivation and rife with deceit and treachery.

"A world where mortals cultivate immortality is something worth considering."

"Although this world is also dangerous, its power ceiling is relatively 'controllable,' unlike the previous two which directly involve rule-level or even super-rule-level existences."

"Moreover, the social structure, power system, and resource allocation model of the cultivation civilization are very valuable for observation."

Zhou Zhe rubbed his chin, but he quickly shook his head.

"However, it's hard to say. Han Li fought his way from the human realm to the immortal realm, and eventually reached the Dao Ancestor level. The karmic entanglements he's involved in are getting bigger and bigger."

"Moreover, no one can say for sure whether there are even more ancient existences above the Immortal Realm."

"Although the system has strong concealment capabilities, it may not be completely safe against old monsters who have cultivated to the extreme and can see through the secrets of heaven with a flick of their fingers."

“Especially those things involving time, cause and effect, and fate, troublesome.”

"Moreover, in the world of cultivation, people often go into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years, and the flow of time is difficult to control. For someone like me who mainly focuses on observation and recording, the efficiency is a bit low."

He eventually put "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" aside as well.

The remaining four worlds shone with a soft light before him.

【Game of Life】, a fantasy world where everything is decided by games, and sixteen races vie for the throne of the only god, the "Star Cup".

With its interesting rules, diverse races, and varied civilizations, it offers immense value for observation.

Although he doesn't know the timeline, for him, unless he wields the Star Cup, even a god-like being would have little chance of threatening him.

That's something worth considering.

Food Wars! is a culinary world that elevates cooking to the level of art, passion, and even fantasy.

It's a world that's absolutely safe and can also satisfy your appetite.

【Himouto! Umaru-chan】 and 【Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend】 are purely modern slice-of-life stories. One focuses on a comedy about dual identities in family and personal life, while the other focuses on a youth story about school clubs and creative dreams.

The value of observation lies in the social relationships, cultural consumption, entertainment methods, and the small dreams and troubles of ordinary people in modern cities, as well as individuals in their peaceful lives.

While it's safe, it might be a bit too bland?
For Zhou Zhe, who has just experienced being caught in the crossfire of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he may need a buffer, but too much blandness may also make his observations lack passion.

"Um"

Zhou Zhe weighed his options for a moment, his gaze shifting between [No Game No Life] and [Food Wars!].

The former is more challenging, with more unique samples to observe; the latter is safer and more comfortable, and can satisfy his interests as a "food lover".

Ultimately, the consideration of "safety first" and the need to "relax" and "enjoy" after just experiencing a scare in the Marvel Universe took precedence.

"It's decided."

"Having just experienced a little fright, it wouldn't be bad to go to a more peaceful world to relax."

"I've been curious about what the food from Food Wars! tastes like. It seems to create hallucinations."

"Just treat it as a vacation."

Zhou Zhe snapped his fingers, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

He looked up and said to the system:

"System, target locked, Food Wars! world, initiate teleportation."

[Command confirmed. Target world: Food Wars! (Overall assessment: Low magic, low martial arts, high civilization-specificity: cuisine).]

[Transmission protocol initiated, consuming standard energy units.]

[The 'World-Level Information Fog' has been loaded and will automatically activate upon successful entry into the target world.]

[Teleportation countdown: 321]

The light and shadow before Zhou Zhe's eyes distorted, and the seven world models disappeared, replaced by a soft white light that enveloped him.

The next moment, the light faded.

The fresh air, carrying a faint smell of the sea and a subtle aroma of food, filled my nostrils.

Zhou Zhe found himself standing on a clean and tidy street, with typical Japanese two-story houses on both sides and occasional glimpses of meticulously maintained small courtyards.

The outlines of modern high-rise buildings can be seen in the distance, but this is clearly a relatively quiet residential area.

The sun shines warmly, a gentle breeze caresses the face, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.

His clothes automatically changed into casual wear that matched the style of this world, and he also had a legal ID and some local currency in his pocket.

This is the system's standard service.

In my mind, the system's notification sounded at just the right moment:

[Successfully entered the world of Food Wars!, current time: eve of the Totsuki Academy Autumn Selection Tournament; current location: Tokyo.]

The 'World-Level Information Fog' feature is now activated and running continuously.

This function will passively obscure the causal, informational, and rule-related traces between the host and this system, greatly reducing the probability of attracting the attention of the world's will. Regular observation behaviors will not be affected.

The new World Watch mission has been generated.

[Basic Task: Record the characteristics of this world's 'culinary civilization,' including but not limited to: the signature dishes of top chefs, the principles behind special culinary techniques, the impact of food on society, and the principles behind supernatural abilities.]

The task reward will be calculated based on the report content.

Enjoy your observation and meal.

Zhou Zhe took a deep breath of the air in this peaceful world, which was filled with the aroma of food, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Let's begin the observations."

He looked around and quickly locked onto a direction.

"Let's start by sampling the world's 'B-grade cuisine'!"

He started walking, blending into the street with anticipation.

As for the Marvel universe?
I've long forgotten about it.

In the real world, deep in the Kamchatka Peninsula, near the Bering Strait in eastern Siberia.

The gray-black volcanic rocks are rugged and desolate, the air is cold and thin, filled with a pungent smell of sulfur mixed with some kind of acidic substance, and every breath carries the texture of rust and decay.

The sparse vegetation, twisted and tenacious, took root in the cracks of the rocks. Most of it was an unhealthy dark green or purplish-black, and the leaves were covered with a gray deposit of volcanic ash or other minerals, giving it a lifeless appearance.

In the distance, several massive, cone-shaped active volcanoes stand silently on the horizon, their craters spewing thick smoke like chimneys leading to hell, making the already leaden sky even more gloomy and oppressive, with even sunlight finding it difficult to penetrate.

In some low-lying ravines, near geothermal springs, or beside bottomless fissures, toxic gas clouds with a fluorescent green sheen can be seen slowly drifting, like the poisonous breath exhaled by a lurking beast.

This is the desolate place known as "Death Valley".

At this moment, in a relatively sheltered spot formed by the angle between three massive black rocky mountains arranged in a triangular pattern, which could barely block some of the biting cold wind and most of the toxic gases, several figures stood silently, gazing at the rift valley area shrouded in distorted light not far away.

Besides the three who first discovered the place—Holy Light, Fallen Angel, and Druid—Qin Tian, ​​Huo Yu, Chen Bing, and others were also present.

"Is this the place you were talking about, the place that contains a rare treasure comparable to the 'Ice Crystal Flower'?"

"Aside from volcanoes, poisonous gases, foul smells, and ugly-looking plants, I didn't sense any special energy fluctuations?"

Huo Yu said with some curiosity.

Standing beside her, Chen Bing frowned slightly. She closed her eyes, and her mental energy spread outwards like mercury to the area of ​​distorted light ahead.

Wherever his spiritual power passed, a crackling sound, like ice crystals freezing, seemed to echo in the air.

The drifting poisonous gases were frozen into tiny particles and fell; the rough surface of the volcanic rock was instantly covered with a thin layer of frost.

But when this powerful spiritual force truly touched the core rift region shrouded in distorted light, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom!!!"

A force carrying a strong sense of repulsion and erosion suddenly "expanded" from the depths of the rift, colliding violently with Chen Bing's mental power.

A deafening roar erupted in the air.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Bing's eyes.

That force didn't seem like a conscious defense; it was more like an inherent "attribute" of that area itself.

A realm of extreme chaos, where all external forces are regarded as "foreign objects".

Chen Bing's mental energy was like a wall made of countless wildly spinning blades and sticky mud, and its forward speed suddenly slowed down.

Chen Bing's exquisite face was expressionless. Her icy blue eyes suddenly opened, and it seemed as if billions of ice crystal stars were flowing within them, radiating an even more chilling spiritual pressure!
"Boom!"

In an instant, her previously blocked spiritual power suddenly shone brightly.

If what was once a vast ocean of spirit was now frozen in an instant, transforming into a "sword of divine thought" condensed to its ultimate form!
"Hey!"

It sounded like cloth being torn.

The viscous "swamp" formed by the chaotic domain was forcibly dispersed by this powerful spiritual force, and forcefully spread into the depths of the rift.

At this moment, Chen Bing unleashed the terrifying power of a first-order superhuman without reservation.

Huo Yu, who was standing nearby, naturally sensed this mental fluctuation and agreed wholeheartedly.

"That's more like it, just run them over."

The Holy Light, the Fallen Angel, and the Druid all looked shocked.

It's important to know that even druids, when exploring this place, relied on their unique abilities to connect with various plants and form a network in order to complete their exploration.

Chen Bing actually used his mental power to forcibly cover it?

This place is, after all, a place that has nurtured creatures comparable to the "Ice Crystal Flower" and even a dozen or so mutated creatures comparable to the "First Sequence". Even if Chen Bing is also a "First Sequence", his mental strength should not be strong enough to ignore the special nature of this place, right?
