The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"Since you're in such a hurry to get back, let's hurry up."

The next moment, a spatial portal appeared in front of the two of them.

Indeed, although his physical body could travel very fast, it was still no match for the spatial teleportation portal.

The moment Gu Ran stepped into the spatial portal, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

But before he could turn around and retreat, the spatial portal closed instantly.

Gu Ran immediately extended his mental energy to the surroundings to explore the environment.

This space is completely different from the human world.

There was no sun in the sky.

But this world is not a completely dark environment.

A dim, yellowish light emanated from somewhere, and all that could be seen were barren rocks and withered trees, devoid of any sign of life.

The whole world gives people a sense of oppression.

Is this the abyss?

A guess suddenly popped into Gu Ran's mind.

Is Lilith lying to me?

The portal she opened didn't lead to Azure Dragon City, but to the Abyss?

The abyss is mysterious to humankind, but descriptions of it exist in some ancient texts, which he had read through.

—For example, there is no sun in the abyss. Half the year there is only this dim, yellowish light, and the other half is complete darkness.

In addition, Lilith had been very anxious to open Pandora's Box immediately, so it was hard for Gu Ran not to think that this was Lilith's plan to get him to help her open Pandora's Box as soon as possible.

They even went so far as to trick him into coming here in this way.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Gu Ran sensed something suspicious.

no need.

Lilith had absolutely no need to use this method.

Even if she manages to trick him into coming, if he doesn't agree, there's nothing she can do about it.

Gu Ran looked at Lilith beside him and noticed a hint of surprise on her face, which didn't seem to be feigned.

Was it not Lilith's plan, but just a mistake?

Did Lilith get the coordinates of the portal wrong?

Gu Ran feigned anger and said coldly, "Lilith, is your promise completely worthless?"

Lilith looked bewildered: "I didn't... I didn't. I used a spatial portal item that leads to Azure Dragon City. How did I end up in the Abyss?"

Gu Ran suddenly felt that sense of crisis in her heart growing stronger.

Although it was not yet at the point of threatening his life, it was enough to make him wary.

Lilith didn't lie!

Could it be that something went wrong with the spatial artifacts?

This is not impossible. Lilith's spatial artifacts were all made seven or eight hundred years ago. If the materials were not good enough or the maker did not put enough effort into them, some defective products might have been produced.

"Open another spatial portal now and teleport to the outside of the spatial abyss immediately," Gu Ran suddenly said.

Lilith glanced at Gu Ran and pondered for a moment. Then she took out another spatial item, preparing to open the second spatial portal.

"Whether you believe it or not, the coordinates I set were indeed for Azure Dragon City, but somehow they were transmitted back to the Abyss. I don't know what happened. But I can guarantee that since we agreed to go back to Azure Dragon City first, I will not break my promise easily."

Gu Ran urged, "Open it quickly, stop talking, we have to hurry!"

Lilith was immediately annoyed.

You yelled at me again!

However, Gu Ran's next words immediately dispelled her anger.

"If you don't hurry, we might not be able to leave."

Lilith asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

It is indeed not easy to travel from the abyss to the human world.

Normally, even with teleportation devices, one cannot leave, because there is an invisible barrier between the abyss and the human world.

But recently it has become very easy.

Lilith didn't know the specific reason either, but in the past, it was impossible to travel directly between the Abyss and the human world through the spatial portal, but recently he has been able to travel directly between the Abyss and the human world through the spatial portal.

Is this special good day about to end, and will the abyss return to its old state?

However, Lilith easily opened the spatial portal.

Nothing has changed? The portal is still easy to open.

Lilith thought to herself.

If she can open a spatial portal in the abyss, it means she can travel to the human world through the spatial portal.

If it cannot be opened, and an invisible barrier prevents the portal from appearing, then it means that we have returned to the way things were in the past.

"Alright, we can leave now."

Lilith looked at Gu Ran, her expression seeming to say: See, I didn't lie to you, I really did it by accident.

Just as Lilith took a step, Gu Ran stopped her: "Don't go in, stop!"

Lilith frowned immediately: "What, Gu Ran, you don't believe me?"

Gu Ran glanced at him: "We were just teleported into the abyss, but if we go in now, we don't know where we'll be teleported to. It might be a place that could shatter us to pieces."

Lilith's expression immediately changed: "You still don't believe me after all."

Anger, resentment, and a touch of sadness welled up in Lilith's heart, and her feelings became complicated.

Gu Ran said calmly, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have stopped you."

Seeing Gu Ran's expression, Lilith finally realized that something was wrong.

"What exactly is going on? Do you understand our situation right now?" Lilith glanced around but didn't sense anything unusual.

Gu Ran's expression turned serious: "They even managed to fool you, a demon general from the abyss. It seems their background is truly not to be underestimated."

You even fooled me, the Demon General?

What do you mean?

Lilith was immediately startled.

Gu Ran asked, "Are there any demons in your abyss who are skilled in illusion magic?"

A demon skilled in illusion?

A hint of surprise flashed in Lilith's eyes.

Then, he scanned his surroundings with a more cautious gaze.

"There are indeed demons skilled in illusion in the abyss."

"For example, the Demon General, who is enigmatic."

“He is always shrouded in mist. Ordinary demons who enter his vicinity will be under illusion spells within a kilometer and commit suicide in various bizarre ways, dying a gruesome death.”

"Could it be that we accidentally teleported to his territory? But even though his illusion magic is powerful, there's no way I wouldn't be able to see through it at all."

"It's not like I haven't dealt with him before."

"Besides, even if we teleport to his territory, his illusions can't affect the teleportation portal. We can open the portal and leave here, so why are you stopping me?"

Finally, Lilith asked Gu Ran with a puzzled look.

Gu Ran had already extended his mental power to its maximum range, but still gained nothing.

What surprised Gu Ran even more was that all the areas within his mental range seemed to be a real world.

Although there are no living creatures, only rocks, withered and dead trees and bushes, it feels incredibly realistic.

"The coordinates of the spatial portal have been changed. If we go in, the other side will definitely not be Azure Dragon City, but a dangerous place that we have no idea about."

Yes, the other side of the spatial portal is definitely a dangerous place. Gu Ran sensed this.

The closer he got to the portal, the stronger his sense of danger became. If he were to be teleported there, he might be able to protect himself, but it was hard to say about Lilith.

This is also why Gu Ran ruled out the possibility that Lilith did it on purpose.

The next moment, Gu Ran stood still, gripped the nameless sword, and pulled it out forcefully.

Whether this is the real world or not, you'll know once you cleave it with your sword.

Lilith originally intended to walk beside Gu Ran, but the next moment she suddenly realized that Gu Ran was emanating an astonishing aura. An extremely dangerous feeling came from Gu Ran, as if he could easily kill her if he turned around and attacked her.

Lilith was shocked.

Could it be that Gu Ran didn't use his full strength when he fought her before, and this is Gu Ran's true strength?

Lacking spiritual energy, Gu Ran could only frantically pour his mental power into the sword and then slash fiercely at the empty space in front of him.
