268: Xiaobaicai's confusion

Little Cabbage looked around, only to see a vast expanse, without mountains or depressions, just a stretch of crimson soil, with no end or border in sight.

He saw the horizon.

“A planet?”

Little Cabbage, having received compulsory education, instantly understood that he must be on a planet.

The reason for such a realization was that the main map of the Xuanhuan World could not yet be definitively determined to be a planet.

Everyone couldn't feel the curvature; either it was a truly flat-earth world, or they were on an unimaginably huge planet.

But what he was standing on now was a relatively small planet, where the curvature was clearly visible.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Little Cabbage seemed to remember something and looked up.

The next moment, he was completely engulfed in profound shock.

His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open.

The sky was a deep, dark abyss, as if it had never brightened since ancient times.

Yet, within this darkness, countless stars twinkled, preventing the gloom from being overly terrifying.

This boundless starry sky was something impossible to see in reality, and also impossible to experience in other ancient-style games.

All Little Cabbage could see were various distant stars.

There wasn't a single nearby planet, only a dim great sun.

This unique starry sky made him even more shocked, followed by confusion.

“Did I glitch? What’s going on?”

Little Cabbage was utterly bewildered.

He didn't even dare to stray too far from the coffin.

Because the coffin seemed to carry some kind of Formation, providing him with shelter, preventing him from dying instantly due to the alien environment.

If he dared to leave, what would happen was truly uncertain.

Unable to figure out the situation, Little Cabbage simply recorded a video and posted it online.

Initially, this video didn't get much of a reaction.

After all, players' attention was on the Human-Demon War, and on the various treasures brought forth by the emergence of the Demon Body.

They didn't care about a mysterious planet with no battles, no treasures, and not even a storyline.

Until someone discovered the key:

“Holy crap, this doesn't look like footage from other games; it's from our Xuanhuan World!”

“Huh? Isn't this just a prank video?”

As more and more players realized this video was unusual, Little Cabbage's video quickly became popular.

Then, various speculations arose:

“Did he glitch into a discarded map of the Xuanhuan World?”

“The Xuanhuan World should be a flat-earth world, right? Planets don't really fit with Xuanhuan, do they?”

“No, wait, look at the coffin, and the nine dead Dragons. This can't be a discarded concept, can it?”

The players discussed animatedly, their minds full of confusion.

Finally, a player offered this analysis:

“UP host, you should wait a bit. I suspect this coffin must have some kind of Formation.”

“The Xuanhuan World wouldn't give players a completely unplayable start; there must be changes later.”

“Maybe there's a Teleportation Formation hidden here?”

The players analyzed for a while.

But due to a lack of information and not being there in person, everyone didn't know how Little Cabbage would continue playing.

The reason for such high popularity was mainly twofold:

Firstly, the planet's art style didn't quite match the Xuanhuan World, which everyone found a bit unbelievable.

Could the worldview of the Xuanhuan World be even grander than they imagined?

Secondly, the nine dead Dragon corpses.

Ordinary players didn't feel much about this, but the more hardcore players were, the more shocked they were.

Dragons are an extremely powerful race, rumored to possess terrifying strength beyond the Nascent Soul stage from birth.

And now, the appearance of nine Dragon corpses truly shocked everyone.

Where did they come from?

Why did they die?

Who bound them to the coffin?

All of these were unknowns, and this unknown stirred shock and fear.

As for Little Cabbage, he was a bit bewildered.

He had no idea how to continue the game now; it was like he was stuck.

And he couldn't bear to restart.

Are you kidding? With such a unique start, who would be willing to restart?

What if this was an incredible, awesome start that could directly make him soar?

With such dreams of getting rich, Little Cabbage simply went AFK.

He was AFK for several days.

During this time, he also posted videos and streamed.

Initially, many players came because of his reputation, and the stream's popularity was quite good.

But soon everyone found it boring, and the number of viewers in the stream dwindled, now even fewer than a thousand.

One day, when Little Cabbage himself felt extremely bored, a bullet comment suddenly appeared in the stream:

“Holy crap! Streamer! Look quickly! There's a change!”

Little Cabbage quickly ended his AFK state and indeed saw an incredible scene.

The nine Dragons, which were already dead beyond dead, began to tremble, along with the coffin.

Little Cabbage was utterly bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, and he leaped into the coffin.

The next moment, to the shock of everyone in the stream, the coffin lid flew over abruptly, directly trapping Little Cabbage inside.

“What's going on?”

Little Cabbage's face was full of confusion.

The viewers in the stream were all asking question marks.

At this point, the coffin kept shaking, Little Cabbage kept reaching out and fumbling around, then it quieted down.

“I seem to… be moving?”

As soon as these words were uttered, the viewers in the stream became even more bewildered.

“Aren't those nine Dragons dead?”

“You're moving inside the coffin now?”

The number of viewers in the stream grew, from less than a thousand to nearly ten thousand, then quickly broke through to a hundred thousand, finally stabilizing around a million.

If Little Cabbage had the ability to go outside the coffin and record the scene of the nine dragons coffin pull, the number of people in the stream would likely explode.

But unfortunately, he was trapped inside the coffin and couldn't get out, only seeing darkness.

He could only feel himself moving, but didn't know exactly how he was moving.

“Everyone.”

Little Cabbage looked at the camera and said, “I also don't know what's going on with this account.”

“This inexplicable coffin doesn't know where it's taking me.”

“If you're as curious as I am, why not hit follow…”

...Little Cabbage's journey, who knows how long it would last.

In the current map of the Xuanhuan World, the Human-Demon War had temporarily come to an end.

The Demon Body had completely fallen silent two days ago, and the supreme treasures it left behind were divided among the Golden Cores, while the remaining treasures were still being fought over by lower-level players.

Jinglei Mountain was ultimately seized by the Human Celestial Dynasty, forcing the Yao Race to retreat.

Logically, the Human Celestial Dynasty should have actively attacked, seizing the opportunity to occupy a large area of the Northern Mountains.

However, the Immortal Dynasty had strangely halted its advance.

Lower-level players didn't know why, assuming it was due to a lack of strategic supplies.

But the Golden Core players knew the reason all too well—the state-stabilizing seal had disappeared.
