I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

"shadow?"

Emperor Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared intently at the floating planet below.

For countless ages, the Yu Dynasty has been stationed in this star field, maintaining order in the heavens and protecting this small world.

But to this day, everything that the Yu Dynasty has devoted its heart and soul to protecting, guarding, and maintaining stability for thousands of years has turned out to be nothing more than a false shadow?

This filled him with endless absurdity and shock.

Qi walked slowly behind Wang Wei, his cool gaze falling on the planet.

"The mountains and rivers are real, the living beings are real, the passage of time is real—this planet is clearly a real, tangible world, how could it possibly be a shadow?"

Her voice trembled with disbelief; everything before her eyes was too real to be associated with an illusory shadow.

Wang Wei slowly withdrew his gaze from overlooking the planet, turned to look at the people beside him, his expression calm and indifferent.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a projection of the ancient Tang world."

He spoke softly, his tone firm, each word resonant and clear.

"As for why it feels so real... you'll only find out once you enter the ancient Tang world."

"projection?"

Before Wang Wei could say anything more, the man with blood-stained face suddenly interrupted him.

His body tensed, his bloodshot pupils fixed on Wang Wei, and the obsession that had been building up in his eyes for millennia surged up once more.

"If this is just a projection, then where exactly is the hidden ancient Tang Dynasty's true world?"

This sentence is the answer that the remnants of the Blood Sea races have been searching for for millions of years.

Emperor Yu also raised his eyes instantly, his gaze fixed intently on Wang Wei.

The Yuxu area fell silent instantly, with everyone's attention focused on Wang Wei alone.

Wang Wei turned his head and looked at the vast starry sky where the planet was located, his gaze piercing through the dark sky and looking into the boundless depths of the star field.

Since this small world is a projection of the ancient Tang body, there must be a connection between the two; it cannot be born out of thin air or exist without reason.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Wei's thoughts stirred, and the power of reflection instantly spread out, covering the entire star belt and encompassing a star field spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

He observed every star and every wisp of air within the galaxy, revealing every detail, leaving no place undetected.

"The ancient Tang world could not possibly be hidden within this universe."

The man with blood-stained face slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Wang Wei, his gaze fixed on the vast, endless void, his tone resolute.

"Our myriad races have searched every celestial star field and every crevice in the void, but have not found even the slightest trace of the ancient Tang dynasty's origin."

Upon hearing this, Qi frowned and said softly, "The entire planet is a physical projection of the ancient Tang Dynasty. Logically speaking, the entrance connecting to the main body should be extremely conspicuous, not completely hidden."

However, Wang Wei gently shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"The entrance to a projection never needs to be enormous; it can be an extremely tiny point."

Qi and the person with blood-stained face both glanced sideways.

Seeing their bewildered expressions, Wang Wei couldn't help but ask casually, "Haven't you studied pinhole imaging?"

"A tiny hole is enough to project a complete world."

Wang Wei shook his head slightly, his heart filled with helplessness.

As expected, these strong individuals lacked a solid foundation in basic education.

He turned his gaze back to the quietly rotating planet below.

Logically speaking, based on the planet's size and the distance to the light source, the precise coordinates of the "hole" could be calculated.

However, he had forgotten those mathematical formulas as well.

Wang Wei remained silent for a moment, then suddenly swung his right hand through the air.

boom!

The planet below, which was originally sitting peacefully in its predetermined orbit and slowly rotating, was instantly enveloped and imprisoned by an immense force.

The planet's rotation and revolution came to an abrupt halt, its thick atmosphere trembled violently, and its mountains and oceans rippled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the entire planet, like a stone picked up by someone's hand, suddenly broke free from the gravitational pull of the star and sped away into the endless darkness of the starry sky!

"What are you going to do?!"

The person with blood-red markings on their face narrowed their pupils and couldn't help but ask a question.

Qi, standing to the side, calmly explained, "Don't be surprised, it will come back."

Sure enough, after this planet broke free of its original orbit, it traveled at an absurdly high speed, traversing billions of stars in the sky in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared from everyone's sight and sank into the eternal night of the star field.

However, it never escaped the scope of Wang Wei's reflective power, and was clearly presented in his perception.

The farther a planet is from the star's core, the lower the temperature around it.

Endless darkness enveloped the celestial body, and extreme cold froze the clouds in mid-air.

Thick glaciers quickly covered most of the Earth's surface, and the entire blue planet rapidly became cold and lifeless.

After traversing billions of kilometers of star field, the rapidly flying planet suddenly stopped, its speed instantly dropping to zero, hovering steadily in the void, unable to move even an inch further.

Wang Wei's gaze sharpened.

This should be the boundary of the area that the ancient Tang projection can cover.

Once outside this range, the projection rules will become completely invalid.

A projection radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers!

If the coverage area of ​​a single projection is so vast, just how terrifyingly vast is the ancient Tang Dynasty's true territory hidden beyond dimensions?

A sense of surprise arose in Wang Wei's heart. He gazed intently at the dark star field, but still couldn't detect any trace of the true form.

Throughout the entire Yu Ruins airspace, everyone held their breath and no one dared to make a sound.

Emperor Yu, Qi, the core of the Blood Pattern, tens of thousands of golden-armored Yu soldiers, and the countless blood-sea phantoms all stood silently, their gazes fixed on the distant starry sky.

Wang Wei is the only descendant of the ancient Tang Dynasty throughout history, and the only person who might find the original form of the ancient Tang Dynasty.

No one dared to disturb him.

After a brief silence, the planet that had been hovering at the edge of the projection began to slowly turn back.

After traversing billions of miles of starry sky, speeding back all the way, it finally landed steadily back in its original stellar orbit.

Rotation and revolution resumed, and mountains, rivers, and lakes returned to normal, as if the stellar migration had never happened.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes were filled with extreme shock.

Without pausing, Wang Wei raised his hand again and hurled the planet into the depths of space in the opposite direction.

Emperor Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

He had never seen anyone casually toss an entire planet around like a pebble.

In the same instant, the planet that had been thrown into the opposite star system returned precisely to its original position.

The two tests completely confirmed Wang Wei's guess.

He slowly withdrew his raised hand, his gaze calm.

"What did you find?" Qi asked first, her eyes full of inquiry.

Looking down at the peaceful star system, Wang Wei spoke softly, his tone tinged with seriousness: "Not only the planets, but also the Yu Ruins, and the entire airspace we are in right now, are all within the coverage of the Ancient Tang projection."

"Trying to trace the origin of the entity within the projection is always futile."

Emperor Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded in agreement repeatedly: "That's right! One cannot see the whole picture while in the thick of it! Only by completely withdrawing from this projected territory can we see the truth!"

boom--!

Suddenly, a deafening roar that shook the galaxy resounded!

The entire Yuxu giant city, suspended in the starry sky, suddenly trembled, and countless ancient building complexes stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles began to slowly move and relocate as a whole.

Jade palaces, longevity stone platforms, bridges soaring through the sky, and plazas spanning the heavens—countless magnificent and ancient buildings are layered upon each other, stretching across the endless starry sky, their sheer size enough to crush the entire planet below.

The Blood-Patterned experts and tens of thousands of Yu soldiers retreated to various suspended plazas and waited quietly.

The vast Yu Ruins, like an ancient celestial palace spanning the heavens and suspended in the sea of ​​stars, slowly broke away from its original airspace and headed towards the depths of the starry sky.

They sped along, traversing billions of miles of star field, completely breaking free from the coverage boundaries of the ancient Tang projection.

"That's fine."

Wang Wei spoke calmly.

The vast and boundless Yu Ruins remained still, suspended in the pitch-black, boundless deep space.

Everyone turned around and looked back.

Hundreds of millions of miles apart, the once vast and conspicuous star system has long since become completely blurred, leaving only a faint glimmer of starlight, floating in the vast sea of ​​stars, tiny and inconspicuous.

"Have we been able to locate the ancient Tang world yet?" Emperor Yu suppressed the agitation in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Wang Wei did not answer immediately, his heart sinking slightly.

Things had developed in a way that exceeded his expectations.

Even though he had completely broken free from the projection's range and unleashed all his projection power to probe the void, he still couldn't detect the coordinates or traces of the ancient Tang body.

"To gain insight into the location of the ancient Tang Dynasty world."

Wang Wei silently recited in his heart.

"Insufficient safe spots."

Wang Wei remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.

He remained silent for a moment, then a chill flashed across his eyes.

Since we can't find it, we'll force it out completely.

"If we can't find it, then let's destroy it!"
