127: The altar collapsed, and everyone fell into the abyss.
The fans saw the stone bricks on the Sacrificial Altar falling away bit by bit.
They were all extremely anxious, wishing they could reach through the internet cables and pull them back.
But they knew their anxiety was in vain; they could only watch helplessly as the Sacrificial Altar beneath their feet crumbled away.
Inside the Archaeology Academy.
When the professors saw the altar fall and the vacuum world vanish, their shock turned into intense nervousness.
At the same time, they realized one thing: this vacuum world and the crystal ball Ye Bai had just taken out were complementary.
Once the crystal ball shattered, the vacuum world would completely collapse.
“Could it be that the crystal ball was maintaining the balance of this vacuum world?”
Professor Guo said, full of surprise.
“It seems so, but now that the crystal ball is broken, they are in danger. I wonder what's down there? Is there any hope of survival?”
Professor Qian agreed with Professor Guo, but despite his agreement, he was still deeply worried about their safety.
“This... no one knows. After all, it's too deep; you can't see the bottom at all. No one can be sure.”
Professor Guo shook his head helplessly. If it was an abyss below, their skeleton would never be found.
Professor Guo's realization was shared by all the other professors.
They were all extremely tense and worried.
If they fell, would they... they didn't dare think about it!
Inside the Tomb.
Ye Bai, Yang Mi, and the others watched as the Sacrificial Altar continued to shrink. Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun's faces turned pale.
“It's over! It's over! Are we dead for sure if we fall?”
Zhang Dada kept squeezing backward, as if doing so would help him avoid the danger of falling.
“Stop pushing me back! I'm about to fall off in a second!”
Cai Xukun was being pushed back by Zhang Dada, but the floor tiles behind him were also constantly falling.
If he was pushed any further, he would fall.
“We're finished. I told you not to come in, but you wouldn't listen. Now look, we're all going to die here.”
Hua Chenyu shouted anxiously.
Terror and fear filled his eyes, and he harbored a strong resentment toward Ye Bai in his heart.
If they hadn't come in from the start, would none of this have happened?
Now everyone was in danger; it was truly detestable.
“Stop your nonsense. No one forced you to come in. You're just a coward; you only came in because you were too scared to stay with King Yelang. Now that something's happened, don't go blaming everyone else.”
Yang Chaoyue heard Hua Chenyu's words and snapped back without hesitation.
Hua Chenyu wanted to say more, but it was too late.
“Ah...”
“No!”
“Ah...”
The stone bricks of the Sacrificial Altar had completely disintegrated, and everyone, along with the Cameraman, fell from the altar.
The audience saw nothing else; they only saw the camera lens become blurred and heard the screams of many people.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone watching in the Live Stream Room were clenched tight.
Especially the Production Team.
The Director and the Executive watched the scene before them, their hearts skipping a beat.
Before, their hearts were in their throats, but now... they were filled with despair.
They knew they were finished.
Ten celebrities, top-tier ones at that, wiped out while participating in the show—not a single survivor.
How would they explain this to the families and the talent agencies?
And those fans would surely tear them apart.
They could already imagine the scene; the phones downstairs were probably ringing off the hook.
“Director! We...”
One of the Executives looked at the Director with a pale face, wanting to ask what they should do now.
“Don't ask me, I don't know what to do either.”
“The worst-case scenario is going to prison; if we're lucky, we'll just go bankrupt!!”
The Director had calmed down by now; this was the best outcome he could imagine.
Anything else... would just be waiting for death.
Executives: ...Just as they were standing there in speechless tension, other sounds reached their ears.
It wasn't the sound of falling from a height, but the sound of something hitting water.
To them, the sound was like heavenly music; everyone instinctively looked at the large screen in the Live Stream Room.
The previously blurred lens was now submerged in water, surrounded by bubbles.
The Director and the Executives felt a massive weight lift from their hearts.
Inside the Tomb.
“Pfft!”
Yang Mi and Reba were the first to emerge from the water, hurriedly wiping their faces and spitting out a mouthful of water.
“Sister Mi!”
Seeing Yang Mi surface, Reba quickly swam toward her.
“How are you?” Reba looked at Yang Mi worriedly.
“I'm fine.” Yang Mi shook her head and then looked around at the water's surface. “Where are the others?”
“Pfft!”
“Splash!”
“I'm here,” Bai Lu shouted as she emerged from the water.
“Me too!”
“I'm okay as well.”
Yang Chaoyue and Meng Ziyi also surfaced, both hurriedly wiping the water off their faces.
Water droplets ran down their cheeks as they looked around for Brother Jing, Kun Kun, and the others.
“Brother Jing! Kun Kun! Hua Hua! Where are you guys?”
Bai Lu shouted loudly.
As her voice faded, several heads popped up not far away.
They all swam toward Yang Mi and Reba.
“Is everyone okay?”
Seeing that they were all there, Wu Jing hurriedly asked.
“We're fine!”
“I'm okay too, I just choked on some water when I fell in.”
Seeing that everyone was safe, Wu Jing looked around and realized they were missing someone.
“Where is Ye Bai?”
At Wu Jing's reminder, everyone snapped out of it and began searching for Ye Bai.
Finally, Zhang Dada fished a flashlight out of the water and shone it toward the shore, spotting a figure standing there.
“He's already on the shore.”
As soon as Zhang Dada spoke, he felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
This person is so selfish, getting to the shore ahead of everyone else.
After reaching the shore, Ye Bai began surveying his surroundings. He found that they were at the base of a cliff, which fortunately had a Pool at the bottom.
But this Pool... Ye Bai keenly sensed that something was wrong with it.
It felt as if a terrifying aura was emerging.
As Yang Mi, Wu Jing, and the others reached the shore, they lay on the ground, gasping for air.
After catching their breath for a while, they walked over to Ye Bai.
“Ye Bai! You...”
“Get away from the shore.”
Before Yang Mi could speak, Ye Bai cut her off and then turned to walk further away from the water's edge.
Yang Mi, Reba, and the others didn't dare hesitate; ignoring everything else, they hurriedly followed him.
