Chapter 324 - 223: Gui Hun Port

"Are you okay?"

A figure darted through the crowd, rushing to Han Zhan’s side.

Among so many people watching, she didn’t care at all, her eyes fixed on Han Zhan.

Stop pretending, you’re laying your cards on the table, aren’t you?

"I’m fine." Seeing Gongyang Jin’s actions, Han Zhan felt a warmth in his heart and gave her a big smile. "I knew you would come, so I didn’t hold back and went all out."

Going all out depletes Spiritual Power greatly, but reduces bodily harm.

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Gongyang Jin finally felt at ease, turning her attention to the "onlookers" standing nearby.

If Elder Bing knew what Gongyang Jin was thinking, he would definitely award a "6" to her.

We’re all just bystanders now, fine, fine!

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Dong." Besides Elder Bing, there was also Chen Zui and Dong Dachui. Gongyang Jin, much like when Han Zhan first arrived, greeted them one by one.

They are elders; the courtesy must not be overlooked.

As for Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, the two Knights of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order seemed a bit out of place.

"Them?" Gongyang Jin looked at them, raising an eyebrow.

"Friends," Han Zhan explained.

With Han Zhan’s backing, the prickly sensation on their backs disappeared.

Gongyang Jin shifted her gaze aside, and both Zhan Ning and Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this the power of a Sword Dao master?

Even at the same Tier Seven, the sense of oppression is so strong.

Of course, the one who seemed most out of place should be Bob, in the appearance of a Little Dragon Man, an absolute absurdity.

Heaven knows why, after this segment of the Heaven Net Core was exiled to the City of Extreme Evil, it became fixated on the image of a Little Dragon Man.

"Who is it?"

"Electronic pet."

Han Zhan’s answer made Bob leap from the ground, though he still couldn’t reach Han Zhan’s knee.

"It’s Celestial Net, now renamed Bob, looking like a Little Dragon Man with a bit of a wild talking style."

Han Zhan quickly summarized to Gongyang Jin again.

"Now it’s an ally too."

Just as the introduction of the people on Gongyang Jin’s side ended, the "Life and Death Apostle" and "Fallen Knight" from the other side were already walking over together.

Both sides stood on opposite sides of the White Mist Gate.

"I told you, we would meet again."

The Life and Death Apostle looked at Han Zhan on the opposite side and spoke.

Han Zhan knew that at this moment, the Life and Death Apostle had already become the shape of the Dream Demon.

"And you, Celestial Net." The Life and Death Apostle’s gaze fell on the dwarf-like dragon beside him.

"I told you, don’t call me Celestial Net! My name is Bob now!"

Upon hearing this name, the Fallen Knight, Zhan Ning, and Yu Lian all turned their heads simultaneously, looking over here.

Seeing their reactions, Bob was quite pleased inside.

"How about it, isn’t this a great name? It’s the one Han Zhan racked his brains to come up with for me."

"Are you really Celestial Net, oh no, the core of the Intelligent Mechanism?" Zhan Ning asked curiously.

"Could you be a redundant code segment compiled and deleted?"

Otherwise, how could Han Zhan play you around like this?

He seemed to have forgotten a certain experience from his past.

Bob ignored him.

The Fallen Knight stepped forward, speaking lightly: "You held back everywhere at crucial moments, not putting them to death. Wasn’t it to plan for this situation?"

"Because you know, once you enter the Slaughter Battlefield, your initial starting point will be very low."

Han Zhan indeed didn’t know the rules of the Slaughter Battlefield, but after the Fallen Knight pointed it out, he was somewhat enlightened.

"The Slaughter Battlefield selects people to enter. Once it is activated, the number of people each force can bring in is limited. Only those who meet the entry conditions and are chosen by the Slaughter Battlefield are qualified to enter."

"The Mechanical Sect is full of Intelligent Mechanism Technology; only it is Intelligent Mechanical Life, so only it meets the entry conditions."

Gongyang Jin and Han Zhan supplemented the explanation.

The ascent of Intelligent Mechanical Life through technology is indeed fast, but at the initial entry into the Slaughter Battlefield, it’s at its weakest.

Finding a reliable ally fits the principle of prioritizing its own interests.

The Fallen Knight’s intention in saying this was none other than to try and create more rifts in our allied relations, but it’s just a clumsy tactic.

Han Zhan was not swayed by a few words.

The relationship between the Anti-Xia Alliance and the Mechanical Sect has always been on the upper-middle level.

Plus, with the Dream Demon as a common enemy, their alliance will only become stronger.

After finishing his words, the Fallen Knight also kept silent.

When the four entities that met the conditions gathered here,

the invisible repulsive force outside the White Mist Gate disappeared instantly.

The grand and magnificent White Mist Gate was, in the truest sense, displayed before everyone.

Inside its gates, an equally enormous white vortex was spinning rapidly.

Suddenly.

Strands of white mist flew out from inside the gate, selectively drifting toward different people present.

"Do not resist, this is the Slaughter Battlefield screening suitable entrants," Gongyang Jin reminded.

As soon as she spoke, a mass of white mist enveloped her, disappearing without a trace.

As more clusters of white mist descended,

the figures of the Fallen Knight, the Life and Death Apostle, and Little Dragon Man Bob all vanished one by one.

Han Zhan looked up and saw a mist descending upon him too. Soon, his vision was fully enveloped by the mist, obscuring everything.

...

When the mist dispersed.

Han Zhan’s vision was restored.

"Woo—"

The long whistle of a ship, as if shaking the soul, instantly awakened him completely.

He turned his head to look behind.

A massive cruise ship was docked at the shore, and a plank was laid down from the ship, with passengers carrying suitcases disembarking toward the port.

The bustling crowd surged forward.

Only Han Zhan stood there, dumbfounded, motionless.

Because he clearly saw the name painted in special paint on the side of the ship.

"Xinglong".

This was a cruise ship he had once boarded.

Really boarded, not on Blue Star!

On the dock, shiny new chains were conspicuously painted red and yellow, connecting the black iron railings.

Under the sea breeze, they swayed rhythmically.

Not far away, a voice from a broadcast could be heard:

"The diadem of mediocrity and divinity... the simulation of a new cosmos of gold and machinery is about to begin..."

"A brand new version... get a Five Stars exclusive upon launch..."

Han Zhan shook his head, snapping out of the daze caused by overlapping time and space.

"What on earth is this?"

"That last line is too fake—giving away a Five Stars exclusive character upon launch? Are you saying the game company is doing charity? Too fake."

By this time, most of the people from the cruise ship had already disembarked,

Han Zhan looked up and noticed a sign with white characters on a blue background at the end of the road.

He approached it and clearly saw the three words written on the sign.

—Gui Hun Port.
