I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Shi An fell into deep thought.

The "XX" in the message is indeed just a few obscured symbols.

Then isn't this prompt pointless?

Shi An looked into the distance. "The specific coordinates and area names are not displayed. This means that our human footprints have not yet spread to these areas." This nightmare world consists of 33 large areas.

However, this information was obtained by Tiannan City through a certain wonder, and does not mean that Tiannan City's footprints have covered these areas.

In fact, Tiannan City's activity range is very limited. Most of the time, he only stays in the Dark Forest area, and occasionally he only comes to the Whispering Forest and the Pale Wasteland areas.

The four cities of Great Xia, plus the four cities of Grey Harbor, make up only six or seven major active regions.

And how far can humanity's footprints reach? Shi An estimates that currently, humans on Earth have only set foot in a dozen or so areas at most. The eight existing worlds, as well as the vast majority of camps and nightmare towns, are concentrated in these few large regions.

But to put it another way...

"The remaining, sparsely populated areas are likely to be even more dangerous!"

Shi An pondered.

This does not mean that the information from the Land of Revelation is worthless simply because the key symbols are obscured.

There are three areas that lead to other nightmare worlds, and the rules have already provided a general direction. Once they arrive at these three areas, the information will likely be updated with more detailed instructions.

An guessed that the "XX coordinates" were about right.

Even though the key information is not visible right now, they can still deduce a lot of intelligence from these two short hints.

Master Yunwu explained: "In other words, to cross the nightmare world and reach another world, one needs to enter and exit through a specific passage, rather than just any boundary."

"However, this is just speculation. It's also possible that other border areas are impassable, or that leaving this nightmare world directly would be very dangerous." When the traveler's caravan came, did they use this kind of passage?

Shi An had considered using the Ark of Salvation for exploration or travel across worlds, but for the time being, it was still a long way off, as they had not even reached the boundaries of the world.

He was now speculating: "Do these three passable areas mean we can travel to three different nightmare worlds from here? And what's in the nightmare world next door?"

"Perhaps there is..."

A high-ranking official from Tiannan City said, "There are other cities on our planet that have fallen into the Nightmare World! I remember that before our Tiannan City fell, there were already twenty or thirty cities that had disappeared."

Tiannan City was among the first cities to fall.

However, the first batch of falls varied by several days, some falling faster and some slower.

The day or two days before the incident in Tiannan, some cities within the territory of Daxia had already disappeared.

There are many more outside of Daxia, too many to count.

The "real-world cities" that fell into this nightmare world are, of course, far more than just Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City; many other cities have already fallen. But even including those that have already fallen, the number is still far less than the number of cities that fell from Blue Star.

The higher-ups in Tiannan City had long suspected the existence of nightmare worlds in other Blue Star cities.

Previously, they thought that such nightmare worlds were far beyond their reach, but now, perhaps within the next five years, they may have the opportunity to travel to other nightmare worlds.

As for the other tip...

The cataclysmic disaster and the strategy for conquering this world are surprisingly linked.

Shi An thought to himself, "That makes sense too."

"If you can defeat the cataclysmic disaster, you will naturally be able to conquer this nightmare world; otherwise, the entire region will fall."

"However, by actively seeking clues, we might find some ways to reduce the danger of the world-ending catastrophe."

"in addition……"

Shi An looked at the two prompts.

He felt that they were still connected.

The rules gave them two options.

Firstly, by defeating the cataclysmic disaster and conquering this world, their Blue Star civilization would reap the greatest benefits.

However, if they cannot do the above, they can also settle for second best and retreat to other nightmare worlds through interdimensional passages to preserve some embers.

This was a last resort.

Well, there's another possibility: they failed to clear the Land of Revelation and didn't receive those two "revelations."

When the cataclysmic disaster strikes, oh, they might all be doomed.

After clearing the level, the entire Land of Revelation is now fully open. However, just like the previous trials, the ancient tower closes, slowly sinks, and disappears.

Many who fall into despair are disappointed.

If they could practice and challenge themselves here every day, their combat experience and skills would definitely improve very quickly.

Unfortunately, this is indeed unrealistic.

But the members in the safe zone don't care; they still have the training grounds. The training grounds offer similar challenges, even more comprehensive ones. It's said that the manager is even preparing to launch a "custom mode," where they can set how many extraordinary and bizarre beings they need to fight simultaneously to maximize the pressure.

Some people even thought that the trials here could be moved directly into the custom mode.

Disappointment is not shared between people; many dreamers outside the circle only feel joy.

"Oh, we can finally enter the Land of Revelation! I told you, this trip wouldn't be in vain."

"Brothers, charge!"

Some of the dreamers, who came from the camp, ran and sprinted, their faces beaming with joy.

Then he was stopped.

They were intercepted by the powerful figures from Grey Harbor City and Tiannan City.

The two cities don't usually get along, but at this time their interests are aligned. They need to finish inventorying the precious medicines and minerals inside before allowing the Dreamers from other forces to enter.

In any case, the fact that the Land of Revelation was able to be cleared is thanks to the efforts of all beings in the present world.

For this,

Shi An had no objections whatsoever. After all, he deserved a share of the credit and benefits.

The three cities of Baijiang had already discussed and agreed to hand over the majority of their mineral reserves to the safe zone. While nominally the three cities were providing the manpower, Yan Xiangtian and his group knew perfectly well who actually deserved the credit.

Director Du had no objections long ago.

He wouldn't naively believe that the Dreamers of the Three Cities of Baijiang were able to perform so well purely because of their own talent and hard work.

fart!

Director Du was well aware of how dire Baijiang City's situation had been. If these Dream Fallers hadn't received training from the safe zone, their performance wouldn't have been much better than that of the three cities in Carlo.

Several high-ranking officials from the two major cities and the three cities of Baijiang quickly entered the Land of Revelation and began to take stock of their harvest.

The harvest comes from the precious herbs gathered by the Dreamers. According to the rules, the Dreamers need to hand over 70% of these herbs and materials, and they can keep the remaining 30% for themselves or exchange it for Dream Crystals or contribution points from various cities.

The second gain is the mineral deposits in the region, but these still need to be explored to determine the specific reserves.

As the newly emerging overlord, Shi An also sent Li Feng, Fa Gui, Wu Qing, Wu Yue and others into the safe zone.

He even dragged out Tan, the pharmacist who had been holed up in the lab for most of the month.

The precious medicines and materials were quickly inventoried.

As agreed beforehand, one batch was assigned to the three cities, and another batch to the safe zone.

Shi An glanced at it.

There weren't any exceptional-grade medicinal herbs here, but there were quite a few rare-grade ones; the members had collected a total of two to three hundred. This batch of medicinal herbs was also of some significance to the safe zone.

After all, there are many potions being refined in the safe zone now, such as Dragon Blood Potion and Divine Energy Potion... What limits the production of these potions is the quantity of raw materials. "Relying solely on exploration and gathering precious herbs in the wild is indeed somewhat inefficient and unstable, and there will always be situations where certain precious herbs are in short supply." "Hmm, I can go to the Hundred Flavors Herb Shop to learn more in the coming days."

Besides precious medicines, there is another type of gain that Shi An should pay attention to.

Fragments of a spectacle.

These fragments were very rare; the members only managed to collect six in total.

After talking with Yan Xiangtian and the others, Shi An obtained all the fragments of the wonder.

"It's a pity that Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City don't sell the wonder fragments. After all, they have the ability to use wonder fragments to create cultivation treasure lands."

Although Shi An really wanted to say, "Don't bother building any cultivation treasure lands, just come to my safe zone to cultivate."

However, this is clearly impossible.

"These six wonder fragments can be combined to create two blank rare buildings. In other words, I can use them to upgrade any rare building I already have."

The creation of another outstanding building would be of great significance to the safe zone.

Shi An was just thinking about which one to improve.

Or perhaps, we could upgrade the currently ordinary Purification Spring?

Dreamers at the Transcendent Realm are not easily corrupted, and their use of magical artifacts and talents usually has no side effects. They typically do not need the Purifying Spring, but if a Transcendent is corrupted and contaminated, the consequences will be severe.

The purified water produced by ordinary-level buildings is not effective enough.

"Let's see."

The subsequent distribution of benefits within the Land of Revelation, including various mineral deposits and priority access to certain wonders—such as the rare goods that randomly spawn in the general store—was a subject of much debate between Grey Harbor City and Sky South City.

Shi An was rather indifferent to this, but he would still take the benefits that were rightfully his.

Even if he doesn't need it, he can transfer these benefits to his own members.

However, he did add: "The Land of Revelation must not be sealed off."

This is because someone proposed to enclose the land of revelation and reserve its wonders for the use of the three families.

Even the three cities of Carlos were kicked out.

Because they haven't reached the Transformation Realm, they're not qualified to be seated at the table.

While these wonders of the Land of Revelation cannot be conquered, resources such as commissioning the master blacksmith to forge them or communicating with the herbalist in the herb hut are also valuable, and such resources are limited.

By sealing off the Land of Revelation, more resources can be preserved.

That's just too short-sighted.

Master Yunwu also expressed his opposition: "There will be a cataclysmic disaster in the future, which will be a terrible calamity. If we, the people of Blue Star, cannot unite, how can we talk about defeating the calamity and conquering this nightmare world?"

After much haggling, the two advanced-stage beings from Gray Harbor City, Thor and Steel King, finally agreed to sign the terms.

They originally intended to raise objections and prepare to readjust the distribution through another friendly competition.

After thinking it over, I decided to give up the idea.

"We know too little about the safe zone; we have absolutely no idea what their trump cards are."

Thor said at the time, "Let's give them the benefits for now, and then we'll take back what rightfully belongs to us after we've investigated."

"Although the shopkeeper in the safe zone is from Great Xia, he is ultimately not on the same side as Tiannan City. We still have a chance."

Compared to these two advanced cultivators, many extraordinary experts in Gray Harbor City stared intently at Xuan Jian and his companions.

What they were more eager to know was just how strong Xuanjian and his companions were.

the other side,

In a secluded corner where no one was paying attention, the extraordinary team led by Carlo City was meeting with the extraordinary teams from the other two cities.

They looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, they whispered, "You guys know about the safe zone, right?"

"Hmm, I know a little about it. The safe zone doesn't seem to be a very tight organization; it's more like a loosely organized plain. It's said that Dreamers can accept commissions within the safe zone and, after obtaining contribution points, can use various cultivation sites and even wonders within it."

"Furthermore, according to rumors, the safe zone was originally just a camp trial, and it theoretically has no connection with the three cities of Baijiang. At most, there is a saying that the shopkeeper used to be from Baijiang City."

What does this tell us?

The Dreamers of the Three Cities weren't even part of the Safe Zone's inner circle, yet the Safe Zone still provided them with various cultivation conveniences. Could they, too, have that opportunity?

One of the extraordinary beings hesitated and asked, "But we are not from Great Xia. Will we be turned away?"

Carlo City said with extraordinary insight, "It is possible. Even so, we must give it a try! Besides, I think the shopkeeper won't refuse us. At most, we might have fewer wonders available and the cost might be higher."

No matter how high the price, it's worth it!

He had asked many Dreamers in the safe zone, and some of their descriptions sounded exaggerated and made people subconsciously think it was impossible. But for the Transcendent Realm cultivators from the three cities of Baijiang to reach the top and overpower the Dreamers from Gray Harbor City and Tiannan City was inherently impossible.

As a powerful figure in a small city, he understood even better how difficult it would be for extraordinary individuals from three cities to achieve this.

but,

Carlo City said with extraordinary insight, "According to my investigation, the biggest difficulty we face in entering the safe zone is that we may not be able to find the entrance." This problem is somewhat unsolvable.

The only solution he could think of was to go to the Baijiang City area.

at this time,

There were also crowds in Tiannan City, with some asking about the later stages of the final trial.

Honglian said, "Back then, we faced several late-stage Transcendent Realm monsters... As for levels twenty-seven and twenty-eight? I suspect there were Transcendent Realm Great Perfection monsters among them!"

If her machine were at its peak and equipped with special weapons, she might be able to fight against a Transcendent Grandmaster.

However, it is still very difficult to destroy this level of strange creature.

She was very curious to know how the powerful figures in the safe zone had managed to do it.

She wanted to ask, but this involved fundamental information that no one would reveal. Asking directly would also be offensive. "There's only one way; I need to find a way to get to the safe zone."

This trial and challenge in the Land of Revelation is undoubtedly a dance performed by the members of the safe zone.

This demonstration is just the beginning.

In the future, members will have more contact and exchanges with fellow dreamers in other cities.

"This is an opportunity to enhance the influence of the safe zone."

"This land of revelation will inevitably attract many dreamers in the future, so..."

Shi An made a plan.

The observation tower base stations need to be deployed as quickly as possible.

At that time, the land of revelation will be the center, and the great hand of the safe zone will cover the entire present world.
