Yang Rui had a feeling that a huge "project" like the Land of Exile, as well as the origin of its name, might be related to some secrets.
With this thought in mind, Yang Rui tried his best to find out more about the Land of Exile and the Death Island while he was in the Foreign Realm. However, he did not obtain much useful information.
Yang Rui did not take the risk to venture into the depths of the Land of Exile. He had many things to do at the moment and could not leave for long. If he encountered something like being trapped on the Death Island again, wouldn't it delay his plans?
After all, Yang Rui was not sure if the Land of Exile only had one forbidden area, the Death Island. If he came to one or two more forbidden areas, it would be easy for him to be trapped and unable to extricate himself. Even if he spent a lot of effort to escape, it would not be worth it.
Moreover, even if he went to the Land of Exile again, he might not be able to find any valuable clues. Yang Rui's goal was not clear to begin with. He did not know what he was looking for. Just like the last time, when he entered and exited the Death Island, he did not gain much.
At most, the NPC captives in various civilized areas were gradually transformed into Yang Rui's NPC Liegeman. Therefore, Yang Rui could not guarantee that he would gain anything if he went to the Death Island again.
However, this matter made some progress by chance. When Yang Rui was exploring the Land of Exile, he came across a stone tablet that clearly recorded the origin of the Land of Exile.
The tablet seemed to have been passed down for a long time, but the writing was unusually clear. It was more like the result of wiping, dusting, and cleaning in the market. However, Yang Rui knew very well that the tablet could not be cleaned at any time at the border of the Land of Exile.
"The land of Xuan is filthy, and the seaside of Xuan Ge hangs boundlessly. Every time the people of Xuan Ge touch the light, the mountains move the scales and armor, and the valleys ring the bells. The people of Xuan Ge's sins are exiled. Hence the name Land of Exile …"
With the background of the game, Yang Rui spent a lot of effort to understand the inscriptions on the stone tablet. He didn't expect that the secret land of exile that he had always suspected was related to the stone tablet.
It turned out that the Land of the Exiled was actually the connection between the outermost layer and the inner layer of the Outer Realm! Moreover, there were at least some passageways that allowed the two levels to connect and communicate with each other.
The inscriptions on the stele came from someone who had escaped from the land of exile, and he himself didn't come from the inner space of the other side, but rather a descendant of those people.
Yang Rui read the entire inscription over and over again several times. He had already confirmed a few things.
First of all, the so-called Land of Exile referred to the inner layer of the Foreign Dimension where the people were exiled, not the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension.
The person engraved on the stele was the descendant of an NPC who had been exiled from the inner layer of the Foreign Dimension. He even revealed the helplessness of not being able to return to the inner layer of the Foreign Dimension. He didn't have much joy of reaching the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension and obtaining freedom.
From this point, Yang Rui could also guess that the environment and other objective conditions of the inner layer of the Foreign Dimension should be more desirable. It should be an existence of a higher level.
Secondly, the direction of the Land of Exile toward the innermost layer of the Foreign Dimension was strictly sealed. It was almost impossible for people of that layer to return via the original route after being exiled, unless their exile was canceled and they were forced to return to their original layer by an external force.
The reason why it was so difficult to return "up" from the Land of Exile was actually very easy to understand. At least from Yang Rui's point of view, it was because it belonged to the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension.
Moreover, the restrictions of the Land of Exile had periods of strength and weakness. The stele engraved that when the restrictions were at their weakest, they would leave the Land of Exile and arrive at the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension. This period was also 60 years.
However, this weakness also had a direction. It meant that the Land of Exile was weak toward the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension, and it was almost unaffected toward the inner layer of the Foreign Dimension.
Moreover, even during the period when the restrictions of the Foreign Dimension were at their weakest, it was not easy to escape from the Land of Exile. It required people who were proficient in formations to be able to break through the encirclement and enter the normal outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension.
Of course, according to the records on the stele, this person was proficient in formations. The formations that blocked the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension were as easy to break as paper to him.
However, after this person arrived at the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension, he realized that the environment was not what he wanted. He actually returned to the Land of Exile on his own accord. At least, that was what was recorded on the stele.
The stele also recorded some information about the various settlements in the Land of Exile. Based on the vague summary, Yang Rui speculated that islands like Death Island should be the smallest settlement in the outermost layer of the Land of Exile. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them the Scattered Lands.
After reading the stele, Yang Rui had a much clearer understanding of the Land of Exile. Perhaps it was because none of the NPCs scattered around the outskirts of the Land of Exile could recognize this stele, so the true situation had not been spread out.
The person who was set up in the Land of Exile happened to be a person of the same origin as the three civilizations. The nearby NPC residents might not be people of the same origin as the three civilizations, so the contents of the stele were even more difficult to spread.
It could be said that Yang Rui's discovery of the stele was purely a coincidence. It also provided Yang Rui with a way to explore deeper areas of the Foreign Dimension.
However, Yang Rui was not immediately tempted by such an opportunity. Yang Rui was not immediately tempted.
Yang Rui did not lack the NPC resources of the various civilizations in the Land of Exile. However, the various other resources in the Land of Exile were even rarer than in the outermost layer of the Foreign Dimension.
The greatest temptation of the Land of Exile was probably that it could lead to deeper areas of the Foreign Dimension.
However, such a temptation might not be the best way for Yang Rui to advance. He was very clear about the role of the Tower of Babel. If he could continue to clear the levels, it should not be too difficult for him to reach deeper areas of the Foreign Dimension.
Moreover, it was very difficult to go from the Land of Exile to deeper areas of the Foreign Dimension. Even the exiled person who set up the stele had no hope of returning. If it were Yang Rui, he would also have no chance of success.
