Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Back to the present, Shi Qian studied it for quite a while, but still couldn't figure out how to synthesize it.

So he simply threw the Heart of the Ocean into the middle of the door frame.

As a result, this throw caused a big problem.

The Heart of the Ocean floated directly in the middle of the door frame, bobbing up and down continuously.

The surrounding water rippled in sync with the frequency of the Heart of the Ocean.

It was as if at that moment it had truly become the heart of the ocean rather than a simple synthetic substance.

The entire seabed was no longer calm; the waves were expanding in concentric circles.

The sky began to darken, and clouds slowly gathered.

Shi Qian stared in disbelief at the scene. He never expected that opening a portal could cause such a huge commotion.

Moreover, it seems that there's no need to synthesize a Surge Core at all...

He was just wasting his time fiddling around.

The underwater waves were turbulent, and the sea surface was no longer calm.

Shi Qian sensed something was wrong and quickly retrieved his clone, then separated it from himself.

Send them out to survey the entire ocean.

Through the perspective of his clone, Shi Qian saw the large waves gradually rising on the sea.

And those impenetrable dark clouds.

The clone swam towards the nearest beach and found that the ocean along the way was not peaceful.

The heart of the ocean beneath the water beats continuously, showing no signs of stopping.

However, there was still no sign that the door would be opened.

Instead, the water started to swirl and curl.

The water around the portal was gradually pushed away, creating a vacuum zone.

It leads straight up to the sky.

"what?"

Shi Qian's brain was really not working properly, but the nautilus shell that he had been holding in his hand pulled him toward the portal.

Sensing the commotion, Shi Qian quickly threw the nautilus shells in his hand one by one.

He was now too afraid to approach the portal, fearing he might be gone at any moment.

Meanwhile, players who settled by the sea also discovered the unusual nature of the ocean.

Normally, even the most turbulent ocean is calm, but today, for some reason, it's started to churn.

Moreover, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, and the sky was starting to get overcast.

One moment the sky is clear and blue, the next it's covered in dark clouds.

Players posted these phenomena on the forum, attracting a lot of attention.

Ranxiao, who regularly browses the forums before the event went live, also saw it.

He had a bad feeling and hurriedly went online.

I started a live stream and headed straight for the ocean.

He had been walking towards the sea while doing his missions, and he originally thought it would take Shi Qian several more days to reach the sea, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

He couldn't think of anything else; he kept muttering about Shi Qian.

But by the time he reached the seaside, a storm was raging on the sea.

Lightning kept striking downwards.

Boats can no longer be launched on the sea; they fall as soon as they are launched.

Swimming is even less practical; players are swept ashore by waves as soon as they enter the water.

Shi Qian looked at the portal frame in front of him.

In the very center was a heart of the ocean that was slowly bobbing up and down, while the eight nautilus shells he had been holding were spinning wildly around it.

And they are slowly moving closer to each other, the Heart of the Ocean is getting bigger and bigger.

An orange light slowly appeared in the center, similar to the Eye of Ender, so let's call it the Eye of the Ocean for now.

Those eyes slowly swept over Shi Qian, and he immediately felt a sense of oppression.

But he was now standing on the seabed, and the seawater around the portal had long been pushed aside.

Moreover, the area that his eyes swept over froze into ice.

Fortunately, the eye only lit up for a short while before disappearing, and it returned to its original shape as the Heart of the Ocean.

The surrounding nautilus shells successfully attached themselves.

The portal lit up the moment it became the core of the surge.

A beam of light then shot into the sky.

It was so bright that it could be seen from the entire beach.

Ran Xiao had specifically memorized the coordinates of the portal beforehand, so she could easily tell that it was in the direction of the portal.

This commotion must have been caused by Shi Qian.

"I'm still a step too late..."

Seeing Ran Xiao's demeanor, the viewers in the live stream all felt that he must know something inside, and they all inquired about it.

However, Ranxiao is not in the mood to respond right now.

Shi Qian's main body went through the portal as soon as it opened and the seawater surged back.

The clone kept an eye on the sea and the surrounding area, and while swimming towards the shore, it also took the opportunity to spy on Ranxiao's live stream.

I learned that he was already at the beach and planned to swim over when the ocean calmed down.

He sent him a message telling him not to move, that he would be right there.

...

Shi Qian wandered around in a daze through the light blue portal for a while, then everything went black before he found himself in a place he had never seen before.

He staggered out and leaned against the portal, eyes closed, forehead propped up.

"Ugh... this thing is so dizzying..."

When he used to play PC games and navigate through portals, there would be purple circles rotating in the view, but it wasn't actually him rotating.

This was his first time experiencing a teleportation portal firsthand, and he hadn't expected to feel so dizzy.

I almost shook his head to its limit, and I had to prop his head up for a while.

After recovering, Shi Qian's first thought was how cold it was here.

I was dizzy before, and my attention wasn't on the temperature changes here.

What greets the eye here is a landscape of white and ice blue.

He himself was standing on the snow, with a large expanse of ice just three or four blocks above his head, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Shi Qian originally thought that the underwater portal would take him to another ocean world.

It was quite unexpected that it was a snowy and icy place.

After all, the entrance to that portal was full of coral and such, so he thought that once he came over, he would be in a place similar to a warm ocean.

This place seemed to be a layered structure. Shi Qian took a few steps forward and looked down.

You can see the ice below through the ice layer, and also upwards.

His current coordinates are at the 111th floor, but he doesn't know what level that is considered.

Intermediate layer?

Moreover, it seems that I didn't see anything related to living organisms.

The only things moving here are Shi Qian and snowflakes that seem to have drifted down from who-knows-where.

It could also be ice shards.

Shi Qian returned to the location of the portal and noted down the coordinates.

I just randomly picked a direction and went to see if I could encounter any creatures or other blocks.

Let's take a look at the situation in this dimension.

Shi Qian walked about twenty squares away when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

【Ding--】

[Congratulations, host, you have triggered the conditions for unlocking Mission Two]

[Details for Task 2 have been unlocked for you]

[Click to view]

"Oh?"

Shi Qian had guessed that Mission 2 was related to this frozen dimension, but he didn't expect it to trigger the unlock.

Upon clicking, two question marks appeared above Shi Qian's head.

"Finding a portal to the next dimension? What kind of mission is this? Has my hair turned blonde?"

Shi Qian suddenly remembered a game he had played in his original world.

In that game, the protagonist has to find his family and keeps running around looking for clues.

He didn't look for his family, he only looked for a way to go back.

But this kind of inexplicable task is really inexplicable.

Surely we wouldn't need to solve something for the beings in this dimension in order to get the address of that portal?
