Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 225 Luo Li: The Main God******
Accompanied by a slight dizziness, the Zhongzhou team was teleported by the main god to a wasteland. Looking out to the horizon, they could not see any living creatures, just as Zhu Wen had predicted.

Then everyone looked down and saw five unconscious newcomers lying on the ground.

"Twenty people?! This is really troublesome. Hopefully, we are well prepared."

Zhang Jie lit a cigarette to calm himself down, and just as he was taking a satisfying puff, he heard Luo Li spewing profanities.

"He's playing the riddle-maker again! God! NMSL!"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and at the same time raised their wrists to look at the black wristwatch that symbolized the identity of the reincarnator.

[Upon completion of the main quest "Redemption," you can obtain one A-rank side quest and 10,000 reward points.]

Zhang Jie threw the cigarette he had just taken a puff of on the ground and stomped on it hard, as if he were stepping on a god instead of a cigarette butt.

"Damn it, what does it mean that the mission prompt only gives 'redemption'? Does it mean I have to use love to redeem Sephiroth?"

Normally, Luo Li would have been in the mood to encourage Zhang Jie to give it a try, but she wasn't in the mood now.

"Li Shuaixi, go and wake up the newcomers and get them to accept all of this as quickly as possible."

"OK~." Since Luo Li said to be quick, Li Shuaixi decisively used magic to make the five newcomers obedient.

Luo Li, while the protective shield of the main god was still in place, discussed the next course of action with the others.

At this moment, Chu Xuan, who had remained rational, said, "The situation is still unclear, but we cannot afford to make a mistake. I suggest we proceed according to the planned steps. Once the light shield disappears, Zhu Wen will immediately begin her prophecy to determine our direction."

"Zero and I will be in charge of reconnaissance and expanding our horizons, while you will be responsible for protecting us and the new recruits."

"Alright, let's proceed as planned for now." With Luo Li's final decision, everyone began preparations.

Li Shuaixi also successfully recruited the newcomers, but to Luo Li's dismay, none of the newcomers this time were familiar names.

But Luo Li never considered giving up on them. Instead, he continued to give them a chance to see if they were qualified to join the Central Continent Team.

As the Central Continent Team waited anxiously, the protective shield of the Supreme God finally disappeared, and at the very moment it disappeared, a suffocating feeling immediately enveloped most of them.

Having anticipated this situation, the Zhongzhou team immediately took countermeasures, putting on oxygen masks made by the Main God and also distributing one to each of the newcomers.

The talkative Zhang Jie, breathing in the oxygen provided by his oxygen mask, affirmed Luo Li's foresight.

"Damn, the captain was right. If we hadn't prepared in advance, most of us would probably have been stuck in the dimensional fragments until we returned to the main god space."

However, Luo Li's unease grew stronger. More than being praised, she hoped that Zhang Jie would make some discovery.

"Zhang Jie, stop talking nonsense. Did your mental scan reveal anything?" "Not yet. If I find anything, I will warn everyone immediately."

Luo Li nodded, then looked at Zhu Wen, who was making a prophecy, hoping she could bring her some good news.

As time ticked by, and Luo Li grew increasingly uneasy, Zhu Wen suddenly opened her eyes and shouted at the same time as Zhang Jie, "Everyone be careful! Something is emerging from underground!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, everyone saw semi-transparent, deformed yellow phantoms emerge from the ground and fling their tentacles toward them.

"These are!" Luo Li recognized the monsters at a glance, then shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't get touched by them! Chu Xuan, where's the aerial vehicle you prepared? Quickly take everyone into the air!"

Despite Luo Li's immediate warning, the newbies who hadn't been enhanced and couldn't see the monsters were wiped out in a single encounter.

Although Li Shuaixi, Qi Tengyi, and the others around the newcomers had the idea of ​​protecting them, as soon as a tentacle emerged from among the newcomers and swept across, everyone saw five illusory shadows being pulled out of the newcomers' bodies by the monster.

The shadows looked exactly like the newlyweds, even their faces showed expressions of terror. Upon seeing this, everyone had the same thought: those were the souls of the newlyweds.

Seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Although the Central Continent Team had seen ghosts and gods, this was the first time they had ever seen a monster that could steal a person's soul with a mere sweep.

For a moment, everyone in the Central Continent team felt threatened, but fortunately, with Luo Li's reminder, they helped each other and managed to get off the ground and escape the monster's attack range as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, Chu Xuan launched a small, futuristic-looking airship from the dimensional fragment, carrying everyone into the sky. Only after confirming that the translucent monsters emerging from the ground could not fly did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"What are those things? I don't remember seeing monsters like that in movies or games."

Zheng Zha's tone was filled with lingering fear. Having witnessed how the newcomer died, he worried that he too might not be able to withstand such a strange attack.

"That's a monster from the CG movie 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.' Although it's also called Final Fantasy, its world view has nothing to do with 'Final Fantasy VII.'"

Luo Li was quite helpless. Before those ghostly monsters appeared, she never imagined that these two worlds, which only had the same name but completely different worldviews, would overlap.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Apart from Chu Xuan, the others exchanged bewildered glances, completely unaware that such a movie existed. Therefore, in order to fully understand the corresponding world-building and the enemies they would face, the group had no choice but to squeeze into the cabin to watch the film.

By fast-forwarding multiple times, everyone finished watching the movie in the shortest amount of time. Zhan Lan thoughtfully guessed, "The redemption mentioned in the mission, could it be that we need to purify those monsters called Phantoms? Are we going to find those eight souls next?"

Everyone thought there was some truth to it, but Xiao Honglu believed that things were not so simple.

"Don't forget, this world is called 'Final Fantasy: Advent Children' by the main god, not 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within'. Phantom is the first enemy we encounter, but don't forget Genova from 'Final Fantasy: Advent Children'. Although it hasn't appeared yet, I don't think Phantom can destroy it."

Everyone agreed that this made sense, since the world was called Final Fantasy: Advent Children, so the final boss was more likely to be Jenova.

For a moment, the crowd, who felt that Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu's words made sense, turned their attention to Luo Li and Chu Xuan, waiting for them to make their final decision.
