Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Bai Lin looked at Fan Kou and said, "Mr. Fan Kou, you are a guest from afar. Would you like to come with us and see another world?"

Fan Kou subconsciously felt that this was inappropriate.

What's with this horoscope and the Sea of ​​Reflection? It's all so nonsensical. What if it's dangerous?

"Another world"? That's terrifying!

but……

"Something that even Dragon Strategist and Cat Girl care about..."

Curiosity and a thirst for knowledge are stirring within me.

He steeled his resolve and said, "I have long admired the reputation of the Dragon Strategist and hold the generals of the 168 Community in high esteem! If I could travel with you two, I would have no regrets in this life... I'll take this astrolabe!"

Bai Lin smiled and nodded, channeling his magic power into the star chart.

Heaven and earth turned upside down at this moment.

……

……

A violent fluctuation in spacetime arose, and Fan Kou adjusted his state as much as possible, quickly adapting.

He opened his eyes and found himself on a high hill surrounded by lush vegetation.

There were only three people around him.

Bai Lin, Long Ceshi, and a still dizzy cat girl. There's no way around it; the cat girl's cultivation level is just too low, so it's normal for her dizziness to last a little longer.

“Look. That’s the wall that Leonard Hersey built.”

Bai Lin pointed to the distance.

Looking out into the distance, Fankou spotted a fortress on a distant island that was neither large nor small.

The fortress was built of piled stones, did not look very sturdy, and was far from being completed.

A large crowd of about four or five thousand people were cutting stones and stacking wood, engaged in construction activities in a lively and enthusiastic manner.

Besides this, there are two other noteworthy areas inside the fortress.

First, there is a magnificent statue of a deity;

Secondly, it is a rotating portal.

Fan Kou subconsciously thought that the statue was a celestial deity, but it was quite different from the celestial deity he remembered; it seemed to be some other deity.

Long Strategist remained calm and said, "I never thought I would see a genuine 'Statue of the River God' in my lifetime! Leonard has a grand vision; he actually incorporated the remains of the water god into the statue. With it here, it's not something ten or even a hundred people can accomplish by breaking through this barrier!"

God of rivers and streams?

Old Gods!

Chapter 306 The Outline of the Events

No one cared about Fan Kou's thoughts.

"Is that portal the entrance to the dungeon?"

A cold voice sounded.

Long Strategist turned his head and saw the cat loli's blank expression, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with an eerie light: "Cat girl?"

The cat-like girl glanced sideways: "Can't you even recognize my voice anymore, strategist?"

"Oh! It's actually the Cat Queen herself who's here. How unexpected."

"Hmph. The current situation warrants my personal intervention."

Cats have nine lives, and now they have eight lives left.

All of General Cat's clones are interconnected. When necessary, he can summon a more mature and experienced clone through a divine intervention.

The one currently conversing with everyone is the one universally acknowledged as the "true form" of the Cat General.

Cat Queen.

Bai Lin said, "That's a dungeon, and a highly valuable one at that, the 'Hundred Calamities' series. Leonard Hessé's development speed far exceeded our expectations—look, in just a few days, he has recruited so many laborers and even built a fortress and cast a statue!"

The Cat Queen remained calm and simply said, "Leonard Hersey is a renowned businessman in the ascended world. His 'industries' extend far beyond just Community No. 1. As far as I know, the Hersey family controls dozens of communities, both overtly and covertly, making them true behemoths hidden beneath the surface. He was prepared all along, so his rapid expansion is not surprising."

Long Ceshi also said, "What really surprised me is how he got here? Didn't the gods say that only those who possess the Star Chart can enter the Sea of ​​Reflection?"

"This one……"

Even Bai Lin couldn't answer that.

Moreover, after actually coming into contact with the gods, the gods' personality far exceeded his expectations.

In Bai Lin's imagination, the gods are dashing, sublime, omnipotent, and wise and powerful.

but……

As things stand, the gods are not displaying detachment, but rather indifference.

Nothing surprised her, but not because she felt "everything was under control," but rather because she was indifferent.

Every time I saw her, she was either lying on Zuo Chang's back or sitting in his lap.

He always looks a little unhappy and acts like he's old-fashioned.

He speaks occasionally, but his tone rarely varies.

Bai Lin shook his head, shaking off the disrespectful thoughts.

He continued, "When the goddess learned of this information, she remained very calm. She simply said, 'It seems they are well-prepared.'"

Long Ceshi waited for a moment, but received no further news.

He asked, "Anything else?"

Bai Lin shook his head: "That's all, just this one sentence."

"Why was Leonard able to arrive without the aid of an astrological chart? Didn't the gods have a guess?"

"No."

Long Strategist then asked, "Didn't she offer any solutions either?"

Bai Lin took out another star chart and said, "I've provided a solution that isn't really a solution. To explain it in detail, we need to use the positioning points on this star chart."

There were four or five thousand people in the fortress below the hill, many of whom were highly skilled.

Under the protection of the water god statue, even if the people present took action, they would hardly achieve satisfactory results. It would be better to remain still and see if they could pull off something bigger.

Bai Lin channeled his magic into the star chart, and teleported the group once more.

Fan Kou's vision blurred, then flashed black and white, and he found himself on another island. This time, they weren't among the vegetation, but in a thatched hut.

The two people beside him saw the visitor and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Mr. Bai, you've arrived?"

"Ah."

Bai Lin smiled and introduced them to Long Strategist and Cat Queen: "This is True Man Ninefold, the city lord of Postbox City; this is Qiu Fu, the city lord of Begonia Leaf City. The two of them are currently in charge of the fortress construction of 'Ancient Battlefield Island'. The people working here are all subordinates of the two city lords."

Dragon Strategist and Cat Queen looked around and nodded.

The value of the dungeon is something those in the know understand.

Originally, Zuo Chang and his group had enough time to plan and could have gradually taken over the Sea of ​​Reflections. Unexpectedly, Leonard also mastered the method of entering and exiting the Sea of ​​Reflections.

The wonders created by the gods are going to benefit others?

Tolerable or unbearable.

Fortunately, the Sea of ​​Reflection is vast enough that even a top expert at the fifteenth level would need to fly day and night for at least a week to cross it with their physical body.

Leonard won't be able to spot Zuo Chang for the time being.

Zuo Chang, together with the two city lords of 96511, established a camp on the "Ancient War Island".

Master Jiuzhong led Long Ceshi and the others on a tour of the construction site, and concluded: "The plan is proceeding in an orderly manner. The overall defensive fortifications will still take some time to complete, but the annihilation cannons removed from the Heavenly King City wall have been activated. At least, we have a certain ability to resist."

"Mr. Kokonoe need not worry about defense. Our people are gathering and will arrive soon."

Long Ceshi spoke.

"The 168 men set off an hour ago. They should arrive in a couple of days."

The Cat Queen also came to reassure everyone.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the dungeon portal.

Without saying a word, Bai Lin led everyone inside.

As soon as they entered, Fankou immediately noticed something was amiss—this place looked so familiar!

"This is……"

He looked around in surprise and asked, "Is this the ancient battlefield? That instance?"

Bai Lin nodded: "Yes, Leonard controls the entrance to the 'Hundred Calamities' series of dungeons. Everyone knows how valuable Hundred Calamities is; it's the main dungeon for producing skill stones. What we occupy is the even more important Crystal series of dungeons."

Fan Kou was quite puzzled: "Didn't they say the era of the gods was over? The dungeons should also be history by now."

Bai Lin smiled slightly: "The era of the gods has indeed come to an end, but dungeons are not yet history. The Sea of ​​Reflection is the location of all dungeons."

This……

Fan Kou's palm trembled slightly.

The copy did not become history.

A very small number of people have access to the Sea of ​​Reflections and can still complete the dungeon.

Fan Kou asked, "Are there still drops from dungeons?"

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Bai Lin gestured with his hand. "The ancient battlefield shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"...I've made a fool of myself!"

Fan called out and stepped forward.

"Gah!"
