I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Although the sky over Nightmare Wasteland was already dim, the eeriness of dozens, even hundreds, of areas surrounding the Land of Revelation had been eradicated time and again. This area had been conquered many times before, and the gray fog and dark clouds weren't as dense; occasionally, faint glimmers of light could be seen peeking through the clouds. Until now, a massive shadow loomed, like a giant whale swimming in a sea of ​​clouds.

And then it leaped out.

"It's a giant ark!"

And it's way too big!

The ancient warships of Tiannan City and the giant centipede warships of Gray Harbor City were already considered exaggerated by people.

But compared to the much larger, colossal ark, these two are at best small planks.

"There are actually experts here?"

"But Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City are already the most powerful forces in our Nightmare World, right? And their scale far surpasses others; even the top-tier Nightmare Towns and other real-world cities are far inferior."

In terms of technological capabilities, Nightmare Town is miles behind these two major cities.

Outside of the two great cities, it is impossible for any force to build such a massive ark.

"It's probably a spectacle."

"Wonderful phenomena take many forms, and it's not impossible for one to exist in the shape of an ark. But considering the size of this ark and its natural navigating through the gray fog, this is probably not just an ordinary wonder, but a truly rare spectacle!"

Outside the Land of Revelation, although there are some Dreamers who have come here just to join the fun, those who were able to find out this information and cross the dangerous Nightmare Wilderness to get here are no ordinary people.

They not only knew about wonders and strange objects, but also about the specific differences in rank.

Which lucky fellow obtained this wonder? No wonder the three cities of Baijiang were able to come to the Land of Revelation on their own.

This wondrous ark, in terms of speed and safety during long voyages, is likely far superior to ancient multi-story ships and giant centipedes.

Some people looked toward the ark, their gazes growing increasingly fervent.

Inside a camp to the west, a high-ranking official from the Grey Harbor Federal Bureau of Investigation narrowed his eyes. "If our Bureau could acquire this ark..."

The representatives selected from the three cities of Baijiang are: four at the Transcendent Realm and twenty at the Refining Realm.

The three cities had a total of seventy-two participants.

But the number of those who fell from the Ark and became dreamers is far greater than that.

There were more than a hundred people present!

A few of these are candidates who will be filled in if necessary.

There were also a few others, including Yan Xiangtian, Zhou Huai'an, and a dozen or so others, representing high-ranking officials from the three cities.

And what about the rest? Just the onlookers!

The powerful figures from the surrounding camps were willing to risk coming over to join in the fun, let alone those who could easily come over.

Many extraordinary individuals from the camps wanted to come and see if they could seize some opportunities. Although there were already many cultivation treasures in the safe zone, having the chance to obtain some more fortuitous treasures would lead to a brighter future.

"Moreover, if you can obtain certain treasures that the shopkeepers need and hand them over to the official safe zone, you might even get some contribution points." The main thing is that it's not troublesome to come all this way.

If it takes them a month or two to make this trip, they might as well spend that time training in the safe zone.

But now, they can even return to the safe zone through the gate on the ark, and visiting the Land of Revelation is as easy as dropping by a neighbor's door. How could they resist taking a look?

Lord Burning Maple was among the crowd; he had actually heard about the Land of Revelation a long time ago.

At the time, he was very resentful when he learned that the campers would be turned away. But now, like most of the campers in the safe zone, he is only somewhat curious about the Land of Revelation, and is open to trying to sneak in whenever he gets the chance.

The head of the martial arts school was also in the crowd. He was wearing a simple white martial arts uniform with a member badge of the safe zone pinned to his chest.

His purpose in coming here was simple.

Guards.

"This trip will not be peaceful. Conflicts are prone to break out when it comes to seizing opportunities, not to mention the cities of Grey Harbor."

Zhu Chenying had dealt with the people of Grey Harbor City.

He knew that they couldn't enter the Land of Revelation, but the area outside the Land of Revelation was also a battlefield.

He came to do his part!

The three cities of Baijiang have always been united. Yan Xiangtian brought a large amount of materials to the vanguard camp set up by the three cities and prepared to expand the camp. Director Du of Baijiang City, and two deputy directors from the other two cities came to greet him.

They stared in astonishment and hesitation as they looked at the enormous ark and the Dreamers who continued to descend from it.

Are these people from our three cities?

Director Du raised an eyebrow. "Could this be the legendary Ark of Salvation? Has that guy from the Salvation Society finally agreed to cooperate?"

He had certainly considered the Ark, but the leader of the Ark Salvation Society had never actually shown his face. He had heard of the Ark, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Yan Xiangtian shook his head slightly, "It's not the Ark Salvation Society anymore; the Ark of Salvation is now under the control of the Safe Zone."

He briefly recounted what had happened during this period, trying to summarize it in less than 500 words.

After listening,

Director Du: "□;)"

He remembered that he had only been away from Baijiang City for about half a year, not more than ten years, right?

"You mean to say that Baijiang City and the Safe Zone are now fully cooperating, and even the fourteen powerful individuals representing Baijiang City in this battle are all certified members of the Safe Zone?"

He frowned.

Does this represent Baijiang City or the safe zone?

Yan Xiangtian said, "After all, we need to select the best of the best, the strongest and most suitable talents, right? It's just that our Baijiang City has a limited number of slots, otherwise, there would be many more extraordinary individuals vying to participate. This time, we have more than a dozen mid-stage and early-stage extraordinary individuals from Baijiang." Wait, more than a dozen?

Director Du had vaguely heard that Baijiang City had developed rapidly during this period, and had also received a letter from Yan Xiangtian stating that Baijiang City had entered the era of "extraordinary explosion".

So your extraordinary outburst really isn't just a figure of speech.

Director Du looked closely and spotted some familiar faces.

Bai Yu, Lu Qing, Fen Huo... each of them has actually reached the Transcendent Realm.

"What about our hometown? Even with the Ark of Salvation making travel easier, won't Baijiang City feel too empty with so many extraordinary beings going out?"

"There are many extraordinary beings back in my hometown, at least twenty or thirty. The main thing is, I'm not entirely sure how many extraordinary beings there are in Baijiang City."

Director Du paused for a moment, realizing that there were indeed many unfamiliar faces among the extraordinary individuals in Baijiang.

An elderly person has made a breakthrough!

A constant stream of new talents is emerging!

He had heard that Tiannan City had developed extremely rapidly after getting on the right track, with extraordinary advancements occurring every so often. Now it seemed that Baijiang City's progress was not much worse than Tiannan City's.

All of this is closely related to the safe zone that Yan Xiangtian mentioned.

"The safe zone is great! We should cooperate with the safe zone, and cooperate more closely and deeply!"

Director Du said emphatically.

Yan Xiangtian nodded in satisfaction.

Well, Director Du has no objections, that's perfect.

What if Director Du has any objections?

Director Du is, after all, the highest-ranking official in Baijiang City. If he opposes cooperation with the security zone? They…

The only option left is for Director Du to step down.

Preventing them from reaching the safe zone is no different from cutting off their path. And cutting off someone's path is like killing them with driftwood.

Fortunately, Director Du, as expected of someone capable of leading a city's countermeasures bureau, proved to be quite wise.

On the ark, there were still dozens of dreamers remaining.

The main problem was that the camp below was small and the conditions were rudimentary, nowhere near as well-equipped as the Ark, which could rival a small town. Shi An pushed open the door and stepped out, but he used his ability to change his appearance, so no one recognized him.

He simply walked to the edge of the deck, like many other members, and gazed into the distance.

In the distance, the Land of Revelation was clearly visible.

The surrounding area was wilderness, with only a few scattered dead trees and weeds surviving. But after crossing a certain line, the ground ahead was covered with pure white flooring.

It's like a road that gets wider the deeper you go, and you can vaguely see the shadows of some buildings.

But it's not clear.

Even from other angles, all you can see is the white entrance.

Some extraordinary individuals attempted to break in, but were blocked by an invisible barrier, thrown back, and shed blood in mid-air.

This drew ridicule from many people.

Shi An's gaze, however, fell upon a stone tablet several meters high in front of the Land of Revelation.

The stone tablet was engraved with some mysterious symbols, which seemed to be some kind of script. He did not recognize the script, but at a glance, he could understand its meaning: "When the intelligent races develop to a certain level, the Land of Revelation will be opened."

"The Land of Revelation contains many treasure troves, which are the initial assistance given to those undergoing trials by the rules of heaven and earth."

"Only those in the 'present world' can enter the Land of Revelation, and the number of places available varies depending on the size of each 'present world'."

"Only by passing through the Land of Revelation can you obtain guidance."

Shi An frowned.

"Why is this all so mysterious?"

Shi An wasn't sure if the inscription on the stone tablet was a riddle or if the translation was off.

Although he had learned the spells of the "Common Language," this language was limited to speech and had no written form. Clearly, the written form was far more precious, its very existence containing a wealth of information and possessing extraordinary mysteries.

"Never mind, we'll find out what's inside once the Land of Revelation opens."

Inside the Three Cities camp, Director Du was giving a lesson to Xuan Jian and other participants.

The training focused on intelligence information about key personnel in each city.

"In this competition among eight cities, we must be wary of the four western cities."

"Wait, Chief, is it Eighth City?"

Before Director Du had even begun speaking, someone noticed a blind spot.

Isn't this a competition between nine cities?

Du Ju said with a complicated expression, "Because a few months ago, a city in the Western Alliance was destroyed in a great disaster."

Before the era of the city's fall, many Western countries, including the United States, were hostile to Great Xia and secretly sabotaged it in many ways.

Even so, it was still a city belonging to the humans of their Blue Star.

They were utterly destroyed without any resistance, and it is said that very few people managed to escape.

Composing himself, Director Du continued, "Among the four western cities, Gray Harbor City is the leader. This time, I've learned that Gray Harbor City has two publicly known leaders: 'Neutral Star Aaron' and 'Storm Daughter Lyra.' These two are extremely powerful, especially Neutron Star Aaron, whose talent lies in manipulating gravity, and he also possesses a unique weapon that perfectly suits him."

"Rumor has it that Aaron, the neutron star, once killed a late-stage Transcendent powerhouse with a single blow."

Director Du named over a dozen noteworthy powerful figures from Gray Harbor City, and then added:

"However, compared to these overtly powerful individuals, you need to be even more wary of the super soldiers of Gray Harbor City. The potions developed by Gray Harbor City are extremely potent; they will forcibly enhance and mutate an ordinary soldier at the cost of their life force. Ignoring the side effects, these super soldiers are terrifying."

After a pause, Director Du began to introduce the situation in Tiannan City.

"The four western cities are the ones we need to be most wary of this time. However, everyone is a competitor for some opportunities and treasures. The strong people in Tiannan City are also your competitors."

"In Tiannan City, if you encounter people like 'Po Jun,' 'Hong Lian,' and 'Dong Xue' in any of these places of opportunity, you should avoid them."

The number of powerful individuals who have emerged in Baijiang City during this period has exceeded Director Du's expectations.

Director Du could also see that Xuan Jian and Xi Xue were all very outstanding, but he still dared not have too many expectations for his own strongmen.

Their skill level is no less than others, and it is said that they have also learned a lot of spells. However, the foundation of Gray Harbor City and Sky South City is not only reflected in spells.

"Safety first. Seize opportunities when you can, and if you can't, step back when necessary. There's no shame in that."

After all the forces arrived, the atmosphere outside the Land of Revelation became subtly tense.

This subtle tension lasted for two full days.

Until a certain point, the revelation stone showed signs of change.

"It's about to start."

Someone spoke, and their voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

A bolt of lightning shot out from a cave in the distant camp, arriving at the Land of Revelation in the blink of an eye, and sketching the silhouette of a giant of thunder. "It's the Thunder God! The Thunder God of Gray Harbor! He once controlled lightning within a ten-kilometer radius, unleashing divine punishment!"

At this moment, as the Thor appeared, lightning crackled and danced all around.

A suffocating pressure of curses swept over us.

Even from a great distance, many of the Great Xia Dreamers still turned pale.

"Thunder, you've crossed the line."

A cold snort rang out, followed by a thick fog that transformed into a gigantic fog beast, confronting the thunder giant from afar.

Atop the mist beast's head, a thin, old man sat with his legs crossed.

"This is Li Yunqiu, the Cloud Mist Master, a pillar-level powerhouse of our Great Xia!"

This person was from the same era as Zhu Chenying, but he was luckier than Zhu Chenying. He had a great opportunity in his early years to improve his foundation and eventually entered the realm of ascension.

Immediately afterwards, two more imposing figures emerged from their respective camps.

The man on the left is incredibly burly, his body gleaming with a metallic sheen. He stands on a metal cylinder that rises from the ground, dozens of meters in the air, his arms wrapped around himself.

"Steel King Gehrman!"

On the right, the newcomer wore loose robes that still couldn't conceal her figure. She sat on a huge orange gourd, and flew up on the gourd, with flames swirling around her.

"Director Liuyan!"

Behind the bigwigs on the left and right, high-ranking experts from each faction also stepped forward, eager to seize the initiative.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Ascended Realm being on the left, who was known as the Thunder God, was about to speak when the Cloud Mist Master looked towards the ark and asked, "Is the safe zone manager here?"

Shi An was not actually there.

But that's also possible.

In his early years, he had to walk on thin ice, and dared not even step out of his comfort zone.

Now, he is already a powerful expert capable of instantly killing a strange being in the Ascension Realm.

He doesn't need to be high-profile, but he also doesn't need to be low-profile.

Buzz

A beam of golden light shot out and intertwined in mid-air to form a bridge.

Shi An stepped across the bridge, leaning on an umbrella, and walked forward step by step.

Behind him, Li Feng in black armor, Xiao Xue in bandages, Zhuo Pu holding an umbrella, and Ming Yi in red followed closely.

Thor and Steel King, both at the Transformation Realm, narrowed their eyes.

"Is it the Ascension Realm?"

"But it doesn't seem to have the characteristics of an Ascension Realm?"

"I don't know this person at all."

Steel King gave him a wink.

Within the Gray Harbor City camp, a late-stage Transcendent cultivator spoke up, "When did you Great Xia people become so unruly, allowing some nobody who appeared out of nowhere to sit here?"

Shi An stopped in his tracks.

Without saying a word, he turned his gaze directly to the extraordinary person from Gray Harbor City who had just spoken.

In an instant,

Bang!

The late-stage Transcendent expert immediately knelt down. Even though his face was flushed, he remained kneeling motionless, unable to rise even slightly.

The powerful figures of Grey Harbor City were shocked and enraged.

Just as the Steel King, who had ascended to the Transformation Realm, was about to speak.

Shi An turned her gaze to him.

The next moment, Steel King, who had been smiling, suddenly stopped smiling.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The metal pillar beneath his feet collapsed with a crash.
