The blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, while the sky was clear and cloudless.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across this peaceful region. Suddenly, a spatial tear over a thousand yards wide appeared in the sky, shattering the tranquility.
In the next moment, four figures flew out of the spatial tear and landed on the sea's surface, kicking up waves several dozen meters tall. The dozen or so nearby ships could not help but stop and watch.
"The Mana here is so low!"
"The repulsive feeling is gone! It seems we're back!"
Lifeless Thorn, Solitary Nine, and Yu Luo, who stood on the sea's surface, grew excited when they sensed the familiar low-Mana environment and the absence of any repulsive feeling.
Although the ancient God's Domain had many benefits that the modern God's Domain couldn't compare to, the modern God's Domain was where they had lived all their lives. Everything they were familiar with was here.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng's group's appearance stupefied the players on the nearby ships.
"Crap! Who are they? They're actually standing on the sea's surface? "
"They must've used a levitation spell."
"No, that's not right. If they used a Spell, they should've released intense Mana fluctuations, but I don't sense any from those four."
The four Shifeng's group wore Black Cloaks, concealing all of their information. The only thing they could be sure of was that the Shifeng's group were players.
Every one of them was curious as to who these four people were.
"Let's hurry and leave," a Tier 3 Ranger said. A Level 123, Tier 3 youth driving an advanced speedboat exclaimed. "This area of the sea hasn't been peaceful recently. If we get caught up in the battle between adventurer teams on Dragonheart Island, we'll be doomed!"
"Indeed. Let's hurry and leave. We've caused too much of a commotion here. If War Blood's members see us here, they might mistake us for members of another adventurer team and kill us all," a Level 122 Shield Warrior said, nodding in agreement.
As the players on the advanced speedboat chatted among themselves, the Shifeng's group of four, who were only a little over 100 yards away, heard their conversation loud and clear.
"So, we're near Dragonheart Island." When the Shifeng heard their conversation, he smiled faintly and said, "Looks like we're quite lucky. We didn't get sent to some dangerous and remote place."
Space-time teleportation was too random. If one was directly sent to some dangerous place, such as a forbidden land, or to some special place where teleportation was impossible, it would be very troublesome to return.
Nodding in agreement, Lifeless Thorn said, "However, judging from these people's expressions, it seems that the conflict on Dragonheart Island is quite serious."
"That's normal. After all, there are more and more NPCs nowadays. Even if this is the sea, and the number of NPCs here is not as high as on land, the number of NPCs here is still much greater than the number of players here. With the addition of NPCs, the competition between the major forces for resources will definitely become more intense." Shifeng was not surprised at all.
He had received news from Liang Jing a few days ago that the main continent of God's Domain was in chaos. Some NPC forces had even taken action against player Guild Towns and Cities.
Although these NPC forces hadn't taken down any Guild Towns and Cities, they had wreaked havoc in these Guild Towns and Cities, forcing player Guilds to submit and pay a large number of resources and Coins to these NPC forces. Otherwise, these NPC forces would continue to wreak havoc until the Guild Towns and Cities automatically disbanded.
In the past, there had been plenty of unrated, third-rate, and even first-rate Guilds that had been forced to pay tribute to these NPC forces. After all, if a Guild lost the Guild Towns and Cities it had worked so hard to manage, it would truly be finished.
Now that the system's first major update had arrived ahead of schedule, the NPC forces wouldn't be limited to first-rate Guilds. Even superpowers would have to pay tribute to these NPC forces in exchange for more time to develop. After all, players were only a small portion of God's Domain's population. One could even say that they were outsiders.
Aside from their immortality, they weren't any stronger than the people of God's Domain. In fact, in terms of peak combat power, the people of God's Domain were far superior to the players of God's Domain. Even a decade later, God-ranked experts wouldn't be considered lawless, let alone now.
Upon hearing the Shifeng's words, Yu Luo's expression grew anxious. She then took a step forward and flew to the advanced speedboat she had just spoken on. Yu Luo's sudden movement startled the six players aboard the speedboat, and they all stared at her in horror.
After all, hovering in the air was an ability only Tier 4 and above players possessed.
Meanwhile, Tier 4 players were existences that even NPCs feared. Even now, the number of Tier 4 players in God's Domain could most likely be counted on one hand. Every one of them was a major character that ordinary Tier 3 players like themselves couldn't hope to come into contact with.
"May I know what advice you have for us, Big Sister?" the Tier 3 Ranger leading the group asked respectfully, cupping his fists when he saw Yu Luo hovering in the air.
In God's Domain, the strong reigned supreme. This point hadn't been obvious in the past, but after the first major update, the arrogant NPCs in God's Domain had made them realize that it wasn't easy to grow stronger quietly. After all, God's Domain was much simpler and crueler than the real world.
If a Tier 4 powerhouse displeased them, they could annihilate them with a flip of their hand. At that time, they wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"Do you know anything about Heaven's Blade's recent situation?" Yu Luo asked.
Heaven's Blade was her home. It was also something she had been worried about all this time.
Even before she had entered the ancient God's Domain, the competition on Dragonheart Island had already been intense. In fact, Heaven's Blade had clashed with several other adventurer teams and lost several thousand members. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such a dangerous area to grind and search for and explore by herself.
A month was more than enough time for God's Domain to undergo earth-shattering changes, not to mention a small place like Dragonheart Island.
"Heaven's Blade?" The Tier 3 Ranger was confused and confused by Yu Luo's question.
"What? You've never heard of Heaven's Blade?" Yu Luo frowned. "Or do you not wish to talk about it?"
When Yu Luo's voice turned frosty, the Tier 3 Shield Warrior and the others shuddered involuntarily. They then turned to look at their leader, not knowing whether they should speak or not. Although Yu Luo hadn't displayed any killing intent, the aura she exuded was more than enough to make them shudder.
After all, they had personally witnessed how powerful Tier 4 existences were. They weren't existences that Tier 3 existences could contend with. A Tier 4 expert could annihilate several hundred of them with a flip of her hand.
However, after less than a second, the Tier 3 Ranger wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly said, "Big Sister, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't wish to talk about it, but everyone in God's Domain knows about it. I'm just curious as to why you're asking such a question."
"Everyone in God's Domain knows about it?" Yu Luo was a little confused.
According to the Shifeng, nothing major had happened to Heaven's Blade before the Shifeng had entered the ancient God's Domain. Heaven's Blade had merely competed with the various adventurer teams for resources on Dragonheart Island as usual.
However, only a few days had passed since then. Logically, there shouldn't have been many changes.
"That's right. This matter has caused quite a commotion. It has even alarmed over a dozen superpowers," the Tier 3 Ranger explained, nodding. "Just three days ago, War Blood used some unknown means to ally with Dragonheart Island's native NPC forces. Moreover, one of War Blood's members even got promoted to Tier 4. War Blood's overall strength soared, and even Dragonheart Island's Super Guild, Thirteen Thrones, suffered a huge loss."
"What about Heaven's Blade?" Yu Luo couldn't help asking.
"Heaven's Blade …" The Tier 3 Ranger hesitated for a long moment. After all, he knew that Yu Luo's relationship with Heaven's Blade wasn't shallow. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Heaven's Blade announced its disbandment two days ago …"
"Disbandment?" Yu Luo was stunned. "How is that possible?!"
She had followed Heaven's Blade all the way to Dragonheart Island. Heaven's Blade was practically her home, yet Heaven's Blade was telling her to disband?
At this moment, let alone Yu Luo, even the distant Shifeng was stunned by Heaven's Blade's words.
Heaven's Blade was one of Dragonheart Island's top five adventurer teams. The team had nearly 10 peak experts, and Heaven's Blade's commander, Zwei, was even one of Dragonheart Island's top three MTs.
In the past, Zwei had also been a legendary figure. She had led Heaven's Blade through God's Domain's development and even become an overlord.
Now, however, Heaven's Blade had actually disbanded. Who would believe this?
"If Heaven's Blade has disbanded, where did Heaven's Blade's upper echelons go?" Yu Luo asked in a trembling voice after calming herself. "Especially Commander Zwei and the others. Where are they now?"
Shaking his head, the Tier 3 Ranger said, "I'm not sure. I only know that War Blood is furious with Heaven's Blade. War Blood has been hunting down Heaven's Blade's members even now. It has even sealed off Dragonheart Island, preventing communication with the outside world. Anyone who enters or leaves Dragonheart Island has to go through War Blood's inspection. I believe that War Blood's upper echelons have left Dragonheart Island to develop elsewhere."
"I understand. You can leave now!"
Yu Luo couldn't calm down after hearing the Ranger's words. She then waved at the Tier 3 Ranger and the others, gesturing for them to do as they pleased. She then turned and flew toward Xiang Shifeng's group.
Hearing Yu Luo's words, the party of six felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They hurriedly drove the advanced speedboat away from this area, not daring to linger for even a moment longer, afraid that Yu Luo would vent her anger on them.
"Yu Luo, what do you plan to do now?" Shifeng asked when he saw Yu Luo's dejected expression.
Their original plan was to split up after returning to the continent of God's Domain, but now that Heaven's Blade had disbanded, Yu Luo most likely couldn't return to Heaven's Blade even if she wanted to.
"Me?" Yu Luo was a little confused by Shifeng's question. "I don't know," Yu Luo said, shaking her head.
The God's Domain she was familiar with was no longer around. For a time, she was at a loss for what to do.
"Since that's the case, why don't you come with us to Dragonheart Island?" Shifeng suggested. "I still have some matters to take care of on Dragonheart Island. Although Heaven's Blade has disbanded, Commander Zwei and the others shouldn't leave Dragonheart Island so easily. After all, they are very familiar with the island. All of their resources and foundations are on the island. It will be very difficult for them to suddenly develop elsewhere. Moreover, once you're on Dragonheart Island, you might be able to contact Commander Zwei and the others."
Upon hearing Shifeng's words, Yu Luo's eyes glowed. She felt that Shifeng was right. They had lived on Dragonheart Island for so long. How could they possibly leave just like that?
Moreover, even without Heaven's Blade, she could still contact Commander Zwei and the others. After all, this wasn't the ancient God's Domain.
"Alright, I'll go with President Hei Yan," Yu Luo said, nodding.
Following which, Shifeng activated a Spatial Gate and teleported to Dragonheart Island.
