Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

The two of them experienced the same scene of the colorful pipes again, but unlike before, they were in a large number of different planes flashing through the pipes. This time, the scene presented belonged to a single world.

As they passed through it, they saw the soldiers on the frozen snowfield, the huge black shadow covered by the wind and snow in the north, the natural disaster dust rising in the distant desert, and the miniature pointed-eared dwarfs hiding underground.

In the center of the continent, in a Victorian 19th-century building, the king was executed... A huge empire fell apart.

On the vast land, flat cement roads are paved in the wilderness, huge buildings and facilities are all planted with rice and wheat, and women in long robes and dragon horns with dragon tails under their skirts are full of joy for a good harvest.

The sea surface of that continent also bred dense and wriggling monsters like seaweed, eroding everything on the land.

Further underground, a golden light shield emerged from the ground, like a new civilization lurking underwater... A team carrying swords and spears, and wearing hunter hats, fought against the monsters in the deep sea.

These scenes flashed back in front of Fan Yu and Huang Quan like slides.

It continues until one episode is finished and returns to the prologue of the first chapter. On the extremely cold frozen ground, a dragon-horned woman in military uniform walks forward alone!

"This looks like a world pieced together by multiple different cultures. I'm afraid this world has experienced major changes in the past." Huang Quan commented based on his own experience.

Fan Yu: "Yes, potentially valuable resources. And it's not just the war on land, there are also countless monsters in the ocean that pose external threats, just like 'breeding'."

"If we walk towards the destination ahead, will we arrive there just like we arrived at Pinocchio?" Huang Quan thought thoughtfully.

Fan Yu looked at her in surprise: "This is something I've already experienced and understood before. Is there any problem?"

Huang Quan held his chin and slowly told his speculation: "What I am thinking is that since there has been such a huge change.

So where will we end up?

Is it that frozen snowfield, the ominous land of the north, the desert ravaged by natural disasters, an industrialized country similar to the Xianzhou civilization, or even that deep sea filled with dense monsters?

"That's a good question."

Fan Yu nodded in agreement: "But we'll find out when we get there."

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

She wanted to ask, don’t you even know this about the passage?

But facing Fan Yu's pure gaze, she ultimately chose not to speak.

As time passed, the constantly reversing images in front of their eyes also came to an end. Just like when they arrived at Yalilo VI before, a huge spiral space crack finally appeared in front of them, from which emerged a deep static electricity field and some space cracks strangled them.

Faintly, a demonic roar could be heard from the other end of the passage.

In the quiet deep space, even the sounds of space cracks seem insignificant.

Standing at the end of the cave, Fan Yu and Huang Quan, who were covered by the golden shield light built by the protective barrier, were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other and felt that something new had appeared.

Turning my sight to the deepest part of the space passage ahead, I saw an almost invisible black fog extending from it.

The moment they appeared near the two of them, they would flow into all the holes on Fan Yu and Huang Quan's bodies that could absorb them.

But at the same time, Fan Yu also took action and unfolded a golden protective barrier in front of him.

With the light, the two could clearly see the dense black dots at the front of the golden barrier, which were trying to pass through the barrier and rush towards their bodies like living microbial life.

"I've heard of a creature called alien worms in the universe. They are born in a closed environment, and when they enter an organic environment, they grow rapidly. Then, they nurture themselves through the nutrients of the human body, and eventually break out of the body.

Some civilizations in the universe have encountered similar creatures and were gradually destroyed." Huang Quan said these terrifying words calmly.

Fan Yu stared at the black mist-like particles in front of him: "But this is obviously not an alien."

As the current defender, he could clearly feel that the black mist was eroding the shield power he had released, slowing down the energy flow and making the shield's defense weak.

Fan Yu did not hesitate and conveyed all the information he perceived to Huang Quan at the same time.

The latter nodded seriously, gathering lightning on the blade in his hand, and signaled to Fan Yu with his eyes.

Fan Yu understood the meaning expressed in the silence.

He immediately removed his protective power defense. The moment the golden light disappeared, the black mist immediately attacked Fan Yu.

When the distance is less than twenty centimeters.

Huang Quan, who was standing aside, swung the sharp blade in his hand diagonally.

In the deep space, a dark red slash could be clearly seen, slicing through the void with red plasma. The aura of nothingness attached to the blade obliterated the black mist from the scene in just a moment.

A shrill roar came from it. At the other end of the crack at the end of the front, there was a round ball shining with colorful light, like an eye, looking at them from a distance.

but--

The eyeball's gaze was too far away; if it weren't for the crack's support, it would have vanished instantly. So it paused only for a moment, deeply memorizing the faces of Fan Yu and Huang Quan, before gradually retreating under the resistance of the spiral crack.

This side of the space channel.

Huang Quan slowly put away the blade in his hand. The dark red thunder still had some sparks in the air, which gradually dissipated in the deep space.

"It was a critical moment!" Fan Yu sighed as he stood beside him.

Huang Quan shook his head. Both parties reached a consensus that things would become very troublesome once the dark mass just now surged into their bodies.

But she was very calm about Fan Yu's words: "Without my presence, the black mist cannot enter your body! Or rather, it may not work..."

Fan Yu smiled faintly: "You think so highly of me..."

Huang Quan silently glanced at him. At least from the time of Pinocchio until now, no one had forced this man to truly reveal his true strength. No one knew what fatal trump card he was hiding.

"Okay, these topics are meaningless." Huang Quan ended the small talk and turned to the crack area ahead: "Let's talk about that place!"

Fan Yu also restrained his original expression and said seriously, "Indeed, the situation there is much weirder than we imagined."

Huang Quan said, "Just now, when my blade slashed against that black mist, I felt like I was facing a non-physical creature. It couldn't even be considered alive, but it possessed a corrosive consciousness."

"An abstract concept?"

Hearing this description, Huang Quan hummed, "Well, if I had to describe it, that's how that black mist feels to me. It doesn't exist in the real world, it's just reflected by that black substance."

I'm afraid only reality can reveal their true nature."

Fan Yu took over her words: "Just like the eyeball in the crack just now!"

Huang Quan hummed, "This world is much more dangerous than we imagined, because the appearance of such conceptually abstract things means that the level of civilization cannot be too low.

To be honest, I'm not sure going here is a good choice. Of course, this is just a suggestion, whether you consider it or not is up to you. "

"Then this world."

Huang Quan: “?”

Fan Yu: "But thank you for your advice, Huang Quan!"

"..." Huang Quan opened his mouth silently. Will this work?

In the discussion between the two.

The color that suddenly appeared in the depths of Fan Yu's golden eyes made him pause.

In the [Harmonious Bliss] that he unfolded, the connection between him and Huang Quan seemed to have changed since they had just worked together to defeat the black fog.

The connection between the two sides of the [Void] Messenger, who had always been a loner, was grayish white, but now it showed a crimson color.

[You resonated with Huangquan, the spectrum resonated, and the connection was activated...]

[Current Level: Depth 1 (Red)]

[You received today's feedback: Strength +1]

Several prompt sounds appeared in Fan Yu's perspective, making him look surprised.

Huang Quan also seemed to sense something, and cast his gaze towards Fan Yu, then immediately looked away.

The invisible connection was very weak, but it brought some ripples to her calm and peaceful state of nothingness.

But she didn't say much, just staring at the front with her bloodshot eyes, deliberately avoiding this connection that she had long forgotten.

"I'll guard here to prevent the [Nothingness] from invading this place after you leave. You can go there first..."

Fan Yu smiled subtly.

He looked back in the direction of Yalilo VI, and then jumped into the crack in front without hesitation.

"That world is called Terra."

"?"

Huang Quan only heard this sound, and then saw the figure in front of him being completely swallowed by the crack.

Not long after Fan Yu left.

The void spiral ahead gradually accelerated and began to expand...

In the universe, the invisible gravitational pull of planets and galaxies began to reverse at this moment, converging into a huge galactic spiral.

And Huangquan——

At this moment, he also saw again the gaze from the Void Star God - "IX".

Chapter 1 There is a mole, terminate the transaction!

Terra continent.

Above the top of the Ursus Empire, the shadow of some giant creature was wrapped in the clouds and surging above the clouds.

A ship's bow and stern were gleaming with a faint blue light, a deep black halo was emanating from its keel, and a golden glow enveloped the entire hull, making it float in the sky.

The moment it appeared, a corner of darkness surged around it, as if a crack had been torn in the sky out of thin air.

In the deep, frozen tundra of the night, no one noticed except for a certain entity hidden in the forest. However, the sun-like golden ship, shrouded in dark shadows, did not last long. It appeared vaguely, then vanished from the sky, becoming transparent.

at the same time.

From the hull of the Dark Night Sun Ship, a male silhouette with golden eyes stared at the floating images on the deck.

The scene was like a bubble of time and space, and the picture of the world flashed before his eyes, and finally condensed into three light screens like bubbles.

[here we go again……]

Under the night sky, Fan Yu stared at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Two huge hollow spirals formed in front of him, like the pupils of a giant beast staring at him, giving people a feeling of being extremely small.

The three bubbles gradually deepened as they approached Fan Yu, gradually covering everything in his field of vision.

This is the same scene he encountered as he traveled from one world to another in the universe. Every time he passed from one planet to another at superluminal speed, he would encounter the same scene.

It will bring Fan Yu's own connection with the world of Terra, forming a trend of connection...

His arm stretched out slowly, appearing extremely transparent on the glowing hull. The moment his limbs touched the bubbles above, the first bubble burst with a "pop" in front of Fan Yu's eyes.

There are new changes in Fan Yu's perspective.

The ship's surroundings were transparent, as if it had reconnected with the world...

But it has already disregarded time and space, ignored the traces left by the years, and gradually lost itself in the chaotic ripples that are sweeping ahead...

……

107X.

Gantry.

A declaration of war from the Ursus Empire gradually came to an end.

A large number of soldiers and guards who died in the battle were lying in a mess on the wasteland outside Longmen. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which almost floated from the sky to the urban area of ​​Longmen.

A commotion broke out in Longmen City late at night.

"The little tower was robbed. Sorry."
