484: Unconventional space-time area, endless time (two in one)

Several days later.

Lin Yang stopped at a place.

Bi Yuan.

He had arrived.

Within Source Star, there existed a special power, which greatly reduced the speed of travel compared to outside.

And the Bi Yuan before his eyes was incredibly grand and awe-inspiring.

A vast expanse of nearly transparent, jade-like walls stood between heaven and earth, so tall that one could not see their end.

These jade-like transparent walls stretched from the sky to the depths of the earth, extending an unknown distance across the land like a coastline, blocking the path ahead.

“To enter Bi Yuan, one must pass through these jade walls.”

Lin Yang looked at the magnificent jade walls, then tentatively tried to pass through them.

There was only one way to enter Bi Yuan, and that was to pass through these jade-like walls.

Besides this, there were no other methods; even ascending indefinitely or digging deep into the ground would not provide any clever way to bypass these jade walls.

This place was also a very famous location within Source Star.

Before coming, Lin Yang had looked up information about Bi Yuan in the internal archives of the Alien Management Bureau.

These jade-like walls were very peculiar; no power could shatter or penetrate them.

Not many people had entered the space behind the jade walls either.

Whether one could pass through these walls into the space behind was entirely a matter of random chance.

However, in most cases, 99.99% of people had no possibility of passing through these walls.

The space behind the jade walls was what the Silver-haired woman referred to as the true Bi Yuan.

According to the Alien Management Bureau's records, the space behind the walls was a cave-like existence, similar to a grotto.

The grotto was very large and very deep.

But no one had ever been able to fully penetrate the grotto.

Even if one was lucky enough to pass through these walls and enter Bi Yuan, they could only go about a thousand meters deep before being blocked by an invisible force, unable to proceed further.

Therefore, there are still no records about what the depths of Bi Yuan are truly like.

However, despite this, everyone who entered Source Star would still try every possible way to enter Bi Yuan.

Because those who entered Bi Yuan could at least gain some benefits from it.

Either material gains or power enhancements.

Within the Bi Yuan Stone Cave, there existed a magical power, more like a space that presented a thousand different faces to a thousand different people.

Every entrant could obtain different rewards.

The material gains were at least spiritual universal materials!

Therefore, people constantly changed positions and times around Bi Yuan, trying to enter.

After all, there was no danger after entering, and one could at least obtain a spiritual universal material.

It was a matter of investing a little to gain a lot.

“Yue You Senior asked me to come to Bi Yuan first, probably hoping I could see if I could enter and gain some benefits, right?”

Lin Yang thought so, but then realized his outstretched hand had already passed through the jade-like wall.

“Huh? It can be directly penetrated?”

Lin Yang was startled, then immediately pressed his whole body against the wall.

Whoosh!

With a soft sound.

Lin Yang first felt his body tighten, as if enveloped by some force, and then it suddenly loosened, and he had passed through the wall and entered the Bi Yuan space.

“I’m in already?”

Lin Yang was greatly surprised.

The Bi Yuan wall, which blocked 99.99% of people, he succeeded on the first try?

He couldn't help but turn to look behind him.

He found that the wall he had seen earlier, stretching from heaven to earth, was gone, replaced by an oval jade disk about a person's height.

He could no longer see any scenery from outside.

“This jade disk is my exit.”

Lin Yang understood, then looked at the Bi Yuan Stone Cave.

At the same time.

Just as Lin Yang's body passed through the Bi Yuan wall at the last moment.

A small team of aliens, who had just arrived nearby, saw this scene from a distance.

“Someone successfully entered Bi Yuan!”

The eyes of the team members lit up.

The captain immediately decided:

“Guard here. According to the rules of entering Bi Yuan, where one enters, one will eventually exit!”

“And he seems to be a lone traveler, with no teammates nearby. When he comes out, we’ll directly seize his Bi Yuan treasure!”

As he spoke, the bodies of the several team members rapidly dematerialized from their original positions, eventually disappearing.

If Lin Yang had seen this scene, he would have recognized at a glance that these were all members of the Lingyou Clan.

This method of ethereal concealment was an innate ability of the Lingyou Clan.

The stronger the individual, the stronger this ability became.

When it reached a certain level, if the strength difference was not significant, even attacks could not harm a Lingyou Clan member after they had etherealized.

It was a rather abnormal ability.

Not long after these Lingyou Clan members etherealized and concealed themselves, another small team passed by this place.

From their appearance, they were clearly members of the Mingye Clan.

“Hmm? Stop!”

The captain of this Mingye Clan team suddenly raised his hand and called a halt.

“What’s wrong, Nightshade Big Brother?”

A team member asked.

Nightshade did not answer, but stared at a spot in space repeatedly, then suddenly shouted, “Lan Ling, stop hiding, I sense your presence!”

However, no one responded.

“Haha, Lan Ling, if you don’t come out, I’m going to make a move!”

Nightshade chuckled, gathering power in his hand and pointing to the position he was staring at:

“I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I’m really going to act.”

“...”

Two seconds later.

Lan Ling, the captain of the Lingyou Clan team, slowly materialized from her ethereal state at a visible speed, looking at Nightshade and the others with a helpless expression:

“Nightshade, you really have a nose like a dog! No, a dog’s nose isn’t even as sensitive as yours!”

“Haha, Lan Ling, why are you hiding here instead of seeking treasure?”

Nightshade didn't mind Lan Ling's teasing words, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked directly.

“I’m tired of searching, just resting here,” Lan Ling responded indifferently.

“Is that so?” Nightshade didn't believe it. “Are you resting, or have your clansmen already entered from here, and you’re guarding?”

Lan Ling's expression changed slightly: “I said I’m resting. If you don’t believe me, I’ll leave now!”

With that, Lan Ling directly signaled her other hidden clansmen, pretending to be about to leave.

“Haha, Lan Ling, I just said it casually, why are you in such a hurry?”

Nightshade’s eyes flashed again, then he leisurely said:

“Stop pretending, we know each other too well. You would never just idly rest here. You must have discovered something. Either your clansmen have gone in, or someone else went in and you saw them, right?”

As he spoke, Nightshade slightly closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something, and a moment later, he continued directly:

“None of your team members are missing, so it must be the latter. A lucky person went in from here, didn't they?”

A cold glint flashed in Lan Ling's eyes: “What if I say no?”

“Haha, if you say no, then it’s no.”

Nightshade burst into laughter, then said with a hint of playful mockery:

“I also just got tired from walking, so I’ll rest here for a while too.”

With that, he signaled his other team members to directly conceal themselves and rest on the spot.

“Nightshade!”

Lan Ling finally became a bit annoyed: “Do you have to be so despicable?”

“You say that, Lan Ling. Our two clans are allies, how can you speak ill of your allies?”

Seeing this, Nightshade not only wasn't angry, but became even more convinced of his guess:

“Alright, I really am a bit tired. If you’re done resting, you can leave if you want, or stay if you don’t want to, it’s up to you. Anyway, I’m really going to rest!”

As he spoke, Nightshade also directly concealed himself on the spot.

“Nightshade, you bastard!”

Lan Ling was furious and cursed loudly:

“You’re really a dog, as soon as you smell a bit of blood, you come sniffing around, like a stray dog, impossible to drive away!”

“Haha, Lan Ling, the more you say that, the more I’m going to rest here. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk, I have plenty of patience to wait slowly.” Nightshade’s laughter grew even more triumphant.

Lan Ling immediately fell silent.

After a long silence, she said bitterly:

“If it weren’t for clan rules, I’d fight you right now!”

“Lan Ling, anger harms the body!” Nightshade’s tone remained calm.

“Nightshade, I’ll f*ck your grandma!”

Lan Ling cursed again.

Nightshade chuckled: “My grandma died long ago. How about next time I visit her grave, I tell her you’ve taken a liking to her? Let her take you down to reunite? I just don’t know if her orientation changed after death. Perhaps you could consider a sex change? That way, the success rate might be higher.”

“Night! Shade!”

“I’ll f*ck you, you big motherf*cker!”

Lan Ling was so enraged that she broke down, spewing a string of beautiful words that would get a book banned if written out.

“Lan Ling, calm down!”

Nightshade’s tone was still leisurely, as if he couldn’t get angry, and he said indifferently:

“Since things have come to this, why don’t you tell me who exactly went in from here? Perhaps we can cooperate.”

“Cooperate with your sister!”

Lan Ling cursed again.

“Hmm? Lan Ling, you’ve taken a liking to my sister again?”

Nightshade spread his hands:

“But I don’t have a sister, that makes it very difficult. How about I recognize one on the spot first?”

As he spoke, he looked at his teammates: “Which one of you would sacrifice yourself to be my ‘sister’?”

“...”

Everyone fell silent.

“Cough cough, Lan Ling, it seems your charm isn’t working, no one is willing.” Nightshade spread his hands again.

“Nightshade, I’ll f*ck you...”

Lan Ling opened her mouth to curse again, this time aiming directly at Nightshade!

“Stop!”

Nightshade shouted loudly: “I’m even less interested in you!”

Afterward, he didn’t give Lan Ling another chance to curse, putting away his smile and saying seriously:

“You should calm down, lest you attract others, and then more people will want a piece of the pie.”

“...” Lan Ling opened her mouth, then silently uttered three words before taking two deep breaths and saying coldly:

“Being targeted by you, you dog, is really bad luck.”

“Consider it my bad luck, running into you, this dog, everywhere I go. Yes, a human entered from here, and he’s alone. Are you satisfied?”

“Oh… It seems this time it’s our turn to get rich.” Nightshade said with a concentrated voice.

“Get your big...”

Lan Ling subconsciously started to curse again, but then immediately changed her words:

“Get your...”

“No.”

“Get...”

“...”

Lan Ling “got” for a long time, but in the end couldn’t “get” anything coherent out, so she just said bitterly:

“We found him first. After killing him, it’s a nine-one split, we get nine, you get one!”

“Fifty-fifty!”

Nightshade immediately counter-offered.

“You wish, at most eighty-twenty!”

Lan Ling glared with wide eyes.

“Fifty-fifty!”

Nightshade still insisted.

“Seventy-thirty, no more!”

Lan Ling was furious.

“Sixty-forty, you get sixty, I get forty!”

Nightshade finally relented:

“If you don’t agree again, then we’ll each rely on our own abilities!”

“You should know, humans are relatively more united here. Although he’s alone now, if he calls for help when he comes out, your small team might not necessarily succeed in taking the treasure!”

“...”

In the end, Lan Ling said nothing more, gave Nightshade a cold glare, and her body once again etherealized on the spot.

She had clearly tacitly agreed to this distribution ratio... Inside Bi Yuan.

Lin Yang was unaware that the two teams, the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan, had already begun discussing how to divide his treasures.

At this moment, he was observing the Bi Yuan space.

It was indeed like a grotto.

There was a very narrow, rugged, winding stone path that extended into the depths.

On the walls of the grotto were many murals.

The designs of the murals were also bizarre and varied.

Some were human-shaped, others animal-shaped.

There were also some object-shaped ones.

Some murals were very large, hundreds of meters in size, while others were extremely small, about the size of a baby’s fist.

Both walls leading to the depths of the grotto were covered with various murals.

“So many murals, are they recording something, or conveying some information?”

Lin Yang looked at them one by one, but he couldn’t recognize what the things in the murals were at all.

Yes, that’s right.

He didn’t recognize a single thing in the murals, regardless of their type.

Soon, he arrived at the thousand-meter mark.

This was also the deepest point that all who entered the Bi Yuan Stone Cave could reach.

There had never been an exception.

Here, he finally recognized one of the objects in a mural.

A sword!

A sharp sword piercing the clouds!

Although it was a mural, at this moment, in Lin Yang's eyes, this sharp sword seemed to have “come alive.”

He seemed to see someone holding the sharp sword, rushing straight into the sky, intending to pierce through the firmament.

Ultimately, the sharp sword was stained with blood, trapped above the firmament.

Maintaining that direct thrusting posture.

“Plop.”

A drop of golden blood fell from the tip of the sword.

Lin Yang’s heart skipped a beat, and he came back to his senses.

The scene before his eyes also dissipated.

“Was that an illusion just now?”

Lin Yang couldn't help but blink. The sharp sword mural on the grotto wall remained motionless.

“Strange, how did I inexplicably see such a scene?”

Lin Yang mumbled, then stared at the sharp sword mural for another two glances, but found that he could no longer reproduce the scene from earlier.

At the same time, he realized that he had, unknowingly, crossed the thousand-meter mark that had blocked everyone else, and walked into the depths beyond a thousand meters.

“This is...”

Lin Yang was startled.

He wasn’t blocked?!

He could continue deeper!

The next moment, Lin Yang couldn't help but look up into the distance, wanting to see what the depths of Bi Yuan, which no one had ever set foot in, looked like.

But before he could see clearly.

The system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

It wasn’t the regular system voice, but the cold mechanical tone of the underlying system module:

“Host, you have entered an irregular spacetime zone. Please pay attention to safety.”

“Esteemed Host, detecting your entry into an irregular spacetime zone, the Source-level special mission — Endless Spacetime — has been automatically triggered.”

“Endless Spacetime: Host, please do not forget the path from which you came. Please do not get lost. The source fire of your homeland will eternally illuminate for you. Please protect the source fire from extinguishing and inject more energy into it. The homeland's source fire will illuminate the darkness of Endless Spacetime for you.”

“...source fire? What is that?”

Lin Yang was stunned.

He didn't quite understand what the system was saying!

The deep space of Bi Yuan before him was indeed a dark expanse, but he didn't see any kind of “fire.”

And that phrase, irregular spacetime zone.

What did “irregular spacetime zone” mean?
