Currently, the torch platform had stopped absorbing energy, and the entire basin was no longer glowing. What Li Huailin saw was that the center of the golden eyeball in the middle was no longer facing the gemstone. Instead, it began to rotate as though it had a life of its own. Seeing this, Li Huailin was reminded of the eyeball on top of the Ruler of Gods' temple. It was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the Divine Realm.
However, other than that, the temple didn't react as Li Huailin had imagined. It didn't fly up or transform into something else. It was still embedded in the rock. Of course, Li Huailin wasn't satisfied with this change. After thinking for a moment, Li Huailin said to Kema, "Try to get that thing over here."
The thing Li Huailin was referring to was the eyeball. Kema nodded and extended his hand to retrieve the eyeball. Unexpectedly, when Kema's Mana approached the eyeball, the eyeball suddenly turned and stared at Kema. In the next moment, Komar was sent flying without any warning, and slammed into the side of the mountain with a loud "Kuang".
As it happened too suddenly, even a Saint-tier existence like Kema couldn't react in time. Of course, Li Huailin was also stunned. When he turned around, he realized that Kema was already vomiting blood.
"What … What's going on?" Li Huailin was taken aback as well. He walked over to take a look and realized that things were getting out of hand. Ke Ma wasn't just spewing blood. His entire left arm and chest were gone. It was as if something had dug a hole in his body. It was a horrifying sight to behold.
"Ugh …" Kema was severely injured all of a sudden. Fortunately, he was strong enough. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been dead by now. Of course, Kema's emergency response was relatively fast. When Li Huailin walked over, Kema had already taken out first-aid potions and scrolls from his bag and started treating him. The items he had on him were all high-grade goods. In just a short time, Li Huailin could see that Kema's bleeding had stopped.
"What … what is this?" After gulping down a few mouthfuls of medicine, Kerma recovered a little and looked at the eyeball in front of him with lingering fear. "Your Majesty, if I hadn't reacted just now, I wouldn't have been able to see you. This thing released an unknown energy that hit me, and all the magic defenses on my body did not react … "
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. He clearly didn't see any attack, and this attack that ignored all defensive magic seemed a little familiar. However, it wasn't an instant death judgement, so it seemed a little different from the source. After thinking about it, Li Huailin said, "Is it some kind of automatic defense mechanism of this thing?"
"Probably." Kema nodded. His face was no longer as pale as before. It seemed that the life-saving potion he had was really effective. But in the current situation, this fellow should be temporarily unable to move or cast spells.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll try."
"Your Majesty, it's better not to take risks." Kema immediately said, "This thing is very dangerous, and we don't know what's going on at the moment."
"After all, this thing is bound to me." Li Huailin said. "Besides, even if it really kills me, it'll just automatically return to the city. There's no problem. Stay here and don't move, lest you get caught in the crossfire."
Li Huailin said while placing a mark on Kema's body. Although it was unlikely, he still had to be prepared in case he was really killed. Then, he could directly use the mark on Kema's body to teleport back.
After placing the mark, Li Huailin walked directly in the direction of the eyeball. Currently, the eyeball was still in the middle of the torch basin. Of course, because the torch basin was relatively large, it could not be touched by standing around it. Hence, Li Huailin climbed directly onto the torch basin. When Li Huailin climbed up, it was obvious that the eyeball was looking at Li Huailin. Li Huailin paused for a moment and found that the thing seemed to be observing him. After waiting for a while, it did not attack, so Li Huailin put his hand on the torch basin.
The eyeball was still staring in Li Huailin's direction, which made Li Huailin feel like it was alive again. However, it had no intention of attacking Li Huailin. So, Li Huailin took a few steps forward again, and he was still unharmed. This time, Li Huailin was more relaxed. He walked directly in front of the eyeball, and it happened to look up at Li Huailin.
"So, what's going on with you?" Li Huailin said while reaching out to the eyeball on the platform. The moment his hand touched the eyeball, Li Huailin suddenly felt a flash of white light around him.
With a "swish" sound, Li Huailin habitually closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Li Huailin found that he did not seem to be in the original place at all. Yes, Li Huailin was still standing on the torch basin, and he was still in the white palace. However, the rocks in the palace were completely gone, and the surroundings suddenly became bright. Li Huailin looked outside and found that the scenery outside had turned into a white fog. And Li Huailin felt like he had seen this scene before.
"It's a bit like the scenery in God's Domain." Yes, Li Huailin had been to God's Domain before and found that the scenery here was really a bit similar to God's Domain. What he could see now was the situation of the palace under his feet, and the surroundings were all white fog. Li Huailin walked to the entrance of the palace with a little surprise and found that there was only a stone staircase leading down from the entrance of the palace. However, there seemed to be nothing below the stone staircase. After taking two steps down, he found that the stone staircase was also broken halfway, and it did not lead anywhere at all.
Standing there, Li Huailin observed for a while, and sure enough, he could not see anything except the palace under his feet. The current situation seemed to be that the palace he was standing on was floating in a white fog. Other than that, he could not feel anything.
"It is indeed a bit similar to God's Domain, but why is there only one palace?" Li Huailin was a little puzzled because the situation in God's Domain was the situation of palaces connected to each other. It was a very large group of palaces, but what he could see now was only the place under his feet.
"And where is this …" Li Huailin clicked on the system interface to give it a try. The coordinates displayed were all???, and the map showed a mysterious area. He should have just been teleported here, but he did not know where he was teleported to. Of course, this place should not be God's Domain.
While thinking, Li Huailin walked around in a circle, and once again returned to the center of the palace. There was nothing in the palace under his feet, and the only thing he could see was the eyeball. Hence, Li Huailin had no choice but to walk back to the eyeball. At this time, the eyeball stared at Li Huailin again.
"Can I teleport back if I touch it again?" After giving it some thought, Li Huailin extended his hand to the eyeball in the middle again. However, he did not expect to be teleported back after touching it this time. Instead, a system interface appeared.
The system interface that appeared was a bit like the interface of a shop. Li Huailin looked at the interface. The first page displayed the basic information, and the current situation was like this.
Main Palace Level: 1
Sub Palace: 0/3
Population: 1
Energy: 0
…
The rest were a bunch of numbers that he could not understand. However, after looking at the numbers, Li Huailin suddenly understood. This thing seemed to be similar to a territory management system. And when Li Huailin looked at the situation displayed on the next few pages, it was obvious that his guess was confirmed.
The next page displayed the Main Palace management page. This Main Palace should be the place where Li Huailin was currently standing. This palace was currently displayed as Level 1, and there were no other options below. However, Li Huailin saw an option that could be upgraded, but it was currently grayed out, indicating that it required 50,000 energy points. Li Huailin did not know what kind of energy points this was. In any case, his energy points were currently displayed at 0, so there was nothing he could do.
The second page displayed the Sub Palace page. Currently, there was no Sub Palace at all. There was only an option to build, and the energy required was displayed as 150000. There were no other options.
The next page was the population management page. The categories here were more detailed, but Li Huailin only saw his own name on the owner side. Other categories such as administrator, member, and others did not show other people.
After that was the energy option. After clicking on it, he found that his current energy points were indeed 0. There was a detailed energy income and expenditure list here, just like an asset income and expenditure report. However, the current display was basically 0. It seemed like there was still no way to do anything.
Finally, Li Huailin found a Leave page. It should be referring to leaving this palace. Li Huailin thought for a while and decided to leave first to see what the current situation was. So, he clicked on Leave while he was at it. "Swish!"
There was another flash of white light. Li Huailin suddenly found that the surrounding light was a lot dimmer. He should have returned to the cave, and he had not adapted to the current light. Suddenly, Li Huailin found himself in mid-air, and he was falling rapidly. When he looked down, it was basically the bottomless abyss.
