Chapter 1930: Chapter 1923: It’s Up to You
The scene suddenly fell into a moment of silence; this matter was not small, everyone needed to think it through carefully.
"That’s the Starry Sky and the silhouette!"
Bei Xu continued adjusting the angle of the video; it was indeed a brilliant Starry Sky, looking as beautiful as a Galaxy, with planets and galaxies slowly rotating everywhere, reminding Zhang Menglong of the Starry Sky back in his hometown.
In the very center of the Starry Sky, a silhouette sat cross-legged, floating there, about 2.5 meters tall, with perfect lines on its body like a masterpiece.
But it seemed he could absorb the surrounding light, nothing could escape his gravity, so no one could see his facial features clearly, only a pitch-black outline.
"Is he alive?" someone asked.
"Uncertain," Bei Xu still shook his head, "I don’t even dare to set foot in that Starry Sky, only dare to observe from afar, but my life detector shows no life signs there, yet there’s only that silhouette in the Starry Sky, I don’t know of anything else that can threaten my life, so that thing should be alive."
"It’s really bizarre," Zhang Menglong also fell into thought, "No life response, yet very dangerous; could it be a robot or a life form of another kind? But all life should show a reaction."
"Today, I want to hear everyone’s thoughts," Bei Xu said, "Regardless, I plan to explore there, if anyone has the same idea, you can set out with me."
"I’ve had enough of this damned place!" A martial artist at the Peak of Dao Realm stood up, "If I’m stuck here, I’d rather die, count me in, I’m very interested in that place! If that thing is really so dangerous, maybe it’s a creature surpassing the Dao Realm, I’d really like to see then!"
"Hearing you say that, I am interested now too!"
Those martial artists at the Peak of Dao Realm were extremely powerful; when they sparred among themselves, none dared claim they could instantly defeat another, nor could they cause one to feel despair from the sense of crisis alone; if there was such a presence, it meant it was truly terrifyingly powerful, possibly beyond the Dao Realm!
People live sometimes just for a belief; if they witness that higher realm at the cost of their lives, it wouldn’t be too bad for them, they fear living in confusion instead.
"I will notify all the Dao Realm martial artists in my city; those in the Divine Cultivation Realm are too weak, not necessary!" The martial artist couldn’t help glancing at Zhang Menglong when saying that, "Of course, not everyone is included."
"So be it, everyone prepare yourselves, ten days later, we gather at the southernmost ice field of the Endless Land," Bei Xu said, "Those coming should be mentally prepared; this exploration might not be a good thing."
...
Everyone returned to their cities with heavy hearts, except for Zhang Menglong; to him, even if that silhouette was truly alive, could it possibly be more impressive than his ancestors?
Yet, he released the news directly in Illusion City, allowing anyone interested to participate, as it’s not solely his matter but involves billions of beings in Endless Land, they have the right to decide their future.
Unexpectedly to Zhang Menglong, once the news was released, requests for participation flooded in like waves; currently, Illusion City had over 1.5 million Dao Realm martial artists, with 1.3 million wanting to go with Zhang Menglong, including over 120 Peak Dao Realm experts!
Other cities quickly reported too.
Beikun Fortress City, participation reached 1.55 million.
Gia Fortress City, participation reached 1.71 million!
Bart Fortified City, registration numbers reached 2.06 million!
...
The numbers from all Fortress Cities combined actually reached a terrifying 22 million, plus some scattered organizations, totaling over 30 million! Over 80% of Dao Realm martial artists in Endless Land have chosen to participate this time!
Seeing this number, even Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but be shocked, the martial artists in the Dao Realm of the original world, combined, might only be one or two million tops? These 30 million were almost all going forth with a willingness to die, which touched Zhang Menglong somewhat.
The ten days passed in a blink, over 30 million gathered at the southernmost edge of the Endless Land, the oppressive crowd gave a sense of great pressure; Zhang Menglong even thought for a moment, if so many people appeared before the Divine Profound Hall’s gates, it would surely be a spectacular scene.
Over 30 million people, with nearly 2,000 martial artists at the Peak of Dao Realm, all from the outside world, without exception.
There’s one night left until departure, everyone seemed somewhat heavy-hearted, except for Zhang Menglong and his group.
"You all have no business acumen!" Zhang Menglong mumbled quietly, "So many people, such a great business opportunity, why are you just playing games here?"
"Boss, we’re so wealthy already, still want to make more money?" The disciples from Sunset Sect seemed quite aggrieved; the Crystal Cores collected currently amounted to an astronomical figure.
"Who said anything about making money?" Zhang Menglong said, "These people aren’t regular customers, they’re high consumer potential users; as long as our products can appeal to them, they might be willing to trade their most precious belongings, even those with a death wish might lay out everything they have!"
"Then what do we sell? The Soul Dividing Pills?"
"Exactly!" Zhang Menglong said, "Wasn’t it recently that I crafted a batch of Soul Dividing Pills? Only a few thousand pieces. Dilute them at a ratio of one in ten thousand, even if it can’t heal their soul damage, at least it ensures they won’t suffer from Soul Shard influence when entering the Starry Sky!"
"True!"
"Hurry, set up a stand!"
...
A few minutes later, a simple stand appeared at a very prominent location, and Zhang Menglong and the others were quite easy-going, just laying out some Soul Dividing Pills on the table, then starting to watch dramas.
Actually, at this time, everyone was secretly trading some things, because upon reaching the Starry Sky, who knew what might happen, they were going to explore, not merely to die, having more trump cards was naturally best.
Being the City Lord of Illusion City, Zhang Menglong’s stand quickly drew attention.
"City Lord Gu Xiao, what is this?" The City Lord of Gia Fortress City hesitated for a while but couldn’t help asking.
"Soul Dividing Pills!" Zhang Menglong said, "Used to repair damage caused by Soul Shards."
"Repair?! Are you sure? You’re not just alleviating or preventing further deterioration?"
"I’m sure!" Zhang Menglong said, "Otherwise, why do you think someone like Ose was willing to join my Illusion City?"
Case solved!
Everyone was guessing whether Gu Xiao had an extraordinary relationship with Ose, turns out the core was here! Repairing soul trauma, was their second biggest dream besides leaving Endless Land!
"How much does this cost in Crystal Stones?" he asked cautiously.
"Not selling!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, "If you want some, barter for it, as for what to trade, that’s up to you!"
