"As long as I can find any remnant from the experiments of the past, I can surely reopen the passage!"
The Palace Master of the Eternal Palace picked up the record-keeping notebook, flipping through various data formulas calculated on it.
This world is already devoid of hope.
But behind that portal, unshackled by the white pupils, it symbolizes an infinite future!
Crack...
Just as she carefully examined the calculated data, the electrical ball in the room suddenly flickered slightly, emitting a piercing noise.
"What’s happening!?" She quickly looked up and approached, extending her hand, which morphed into a silver metallic cone.
The cone stabbed into the electrical ball, seemingly probing its internal changes.
"No! There’s a change!!"
The Palace Master of the Eternal Palace quickly walked to the room’s exit, pressing a hand on the wall.
Instantly, a touchscreen emerged, and after quickly entering a series of numbers on it, the door opened.
Outside was a wide hall wrapped in flesh.
At the center of the hall, there was a gigantic heart, over ten meters high, constantly writhing and beating.
At the base of the heart, like grapes, hung densely packed human heads.
"Ah, isn’t this our esteemed Lord La?"
"Conducting some strange tests again??"
"Give it up, you can’t find the passage where we are, the ultimate fate of this world is destruction! Hahaha!!"
"I won’t let you obtain the coordinates to open the passage, give it up, give it up!"
One by one, the human heads were still alive, continually mocking, ridiculing, and cursing.
Lord La of the Eternal Palace did not pay attention to these useless human heads.
Over the years, in order to find a stable, long-lasting passage, she searched for clues and conducted numerous experiment tests.
But the results obtained were unsatisfactory.
These human heads were by-products obtained from various passage experiments.
They came from different passages, different worlds.
Their passages initially seemed full of hope, but with repeated exploration,
La discovered a horrifying result.
That is, all the worlds behind these heads’ passages, behind the planets, were in a slow process of destruction.
The worlds behind those passages, in the vast majority of cases, the process of destruction was even more complete than the land of the interaction zone.
The world..... is heading towards extinction.
This was the conclusion La reached after countless tests.
Only the passage opened fifteen years ago, the world behind it was full of life....
This was also the only hope she always held onto.
She walked to another room’s door.
A silver human face automatically appeared on the portal.
"Password," the face spoke.
"Eternal extinction," La replied.
The door paused and then separated from the middle to both sides.
In this room, there was a model similar to a sandbox placed in the center.
The sandbox simulated a strange city.
High-rise buildings dozens of stories tall, ant-like crowds and traffic flowed endlessly, and the sky was silently illuminated by a golden sun.
To anyone on the interacting zone’s land, the environment of this city seemed like paradise, full of vitality, not constantly facing the threat of destruction and the despair of the sky.
And this was the information La collected at the moment that passage was opened years ago.
If Zhang Rongfang were here, he would instantly recognize that it was the city he lived in before crossing over.
"Such a vibrant world, yet occupied by mortals like insects..... what a waste...." La gently stroked the simulated sandbox, her eyes filled with desire.
She waved her hand, and the sandbox before her eyes quickly changed, transforming into a map of undulating mountains and plains with sand and dirt.
The map was dotted densely with various blue and red light points.
A blue light point on the left side was faintly glowing with a pale white light, seemingly experiencing some anomaly.
"Could this be!!?" La widened her eyes, staring intently at that light point.
That rhythmic fluctuation was identical to the passage fluctuation from the experiment fifteen years ago!!
"I knew it....it’s still there! It will definitely reappear!!"
Her eyes showed a look of wild joy.

Under the enormous black sunshade.
The ground beneath Zhang Rongfang’s feet had completely turned into a dark red land paved with a carpet of blood.
The crack behind him, which was the entrance and exit of the interaction zone, had a continuous writhing mass of flesh, forming a dark red passage that pierced into the depths of the black sky, connecting to the inside of the interaction zone.
The Grandmasters of the Celestial Character Institute of the Human Immortal Temple were slowly emerging one by one from the fleshy passage.
They gazed at the dull sky outside, each of their faces still carrying shock and solemnity.
It’s normal; anyone, upon suddenly hearing the facts about the sky dome and the arrangement to leave it, would be utterly confused.
From hearing the facts to accepting them, even for someone with abundant imagination, a bit of time for processing is needed.
Let alone these Grandmasters of the Great Spirit, who lack imagination.
Hongye, who led the group, slowly came to Zhang Rongfang’s side, looking up at the overcast sky.
"Master, Emperor Lingyuan has mobilized all the empire’s grandmasters to follow your request and come here to explore the terrain."
"Very good," Zhang Rongfang nodded slightly.
In this world outside the sky dome, even if he could explore alone, it would take a lot of time.
But with a lot of people helping, it’s completely different.
Judging from the previously devoured Evil Spirit Vehicle, the main danger here comes from the sky light, while the rest is not very strong.
The power of the Evil Spirit Vehicle, lacking martial arts skills and merely releasing instincts like a madman, only reaches a Grandmaster level. Mainly, its evil aura’s pollutive nature is quite troublesome.
But for him, this is ironically the easiest problem to solve.
With his ultimate creature lineage at this time, after devouring the last Evil Spirit Vehicle, it was easy to differentiate and mutate a special shell that the Evil Spirit Vehicle possessed.
He separated these shells and attached them to all the Grandmasters who came to explore the outside world.
This problem was easily resolved.
"Use this place as the center to explore all surrounding areas. With a diameter of about a hundred miles."
Zhang Rongfang instructed, "Our goal is to find the surviving people here and gather as much intelligence as possible about this formidable enemy."
"Yes." Hongye nodded solemnly.
As an assisting researcher, she was undoubtedly much more competent than Bailin.
"Next..." Zhang Rongfang looked up towards the sky above.
"You all wait here."
Possessing two major bloodlines, his actions naturally differed completely from the others.
At his level, if he still hesitated, it would undoubtedly be like tying his own hands and feet.
Immediately, Zhang Rongfang took a step out of the black tent area, and the enormous bat wings behind him suddenly unfolded.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The bat wings flapped continuously, stirring up air currents that spread around.
Suddenly, a huge stream of airflow expanded, and the gigantic reaction force propelled Zhang Rongfang upwards, shooting straight into the sky.
He wanted to personally test the true power of this daylight.
As the bat wings flapped continuously, Zhang Rongfang shot like a bloody arrow straight into the clouds.
A hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters!
Two thousand meters, four thousand meters, eight thousand meters!
Ten thousand meters!!
He looked up at the sky above, with the clouds almost within reach.
He truly reached out his hand to touch the thick clouds slowly drifting in front of him.
The soft, cool clouds flowed between his fingers like water.
Pausing for a moment, Zhang Rongfang suddenly flapped his wings and charged into the dark clouds.
The thickness of less than two hundred meters vanished in an instant.
With a pop, he forcefully burst through the gray sea of clouds into a brilliant, dazzling white daylight.
Beneath his feet was the gray sea of clouds, and above his head was an immensely large, seemingly ever-expanding white pupil of light.
"I..."
Zhang Rongfang gazed at the massive white pupil that almost dominated the entire sky above him.
Suddenly, he began to feel an intense needle-like pain all over his body.
He looked down at his body.
Only to see his whole body starting to silently ignite with faint strands of white flame.
Accompanying the flames were bright, silky wisps of white smoke.
He could feel the temperature in his body rising rapidly.
Five hundred degrees, eight hundred degrees, a thousand degrees!
Reaching this point didn’t stop, even though Zhang Rongfang’s ultimate creature lineage quickly adjusted his physique, secreting a high-temperature-resistant insulating shell on the surface of his body.
But it was to no avail.
The external temperature continued to soar rapidly.
Soon it surpassed two thousand degrees, heading straight for three thousand degrees.
Zhang Rongfang’s whole body turned extremely red, with a lot of white smoke and black smoke wafting from his head.
The temperature on his body continued to rise rapidly.
Within just a few seconds, it had already risen to five thousand degrees!!
This temperature was already approaching the surface temperature of the sun.
The robes on Zhang Rongfang’s body all melted, charred, some turning to dust, and some vaporizing directly.
He opened his mouth wide, his innate abilities fully activated.
The energy absorption capability of the ultimate creature played a significant role at this moment, helping him withstand this terrifying high temperature.
But as daylight continued to shine down, the temperature on his body kept rising rapidly.
Soon, his body temperature reached six thousand.
Finally, even the energy absorption capability couldn’t withstand it, and Zhang Rongfang’s entire body almost turned into a piece of black char.
Hiss.....
His entire body, along with his huge bat wings, began to silently turn into black ash, shattering and drifting away with the wind.
"Is this the maximum temperature I can withstand?"
On the ground below, beneath the tent area, a piece of flesh rapidly expanded, swelled, twisted, and took shape, forming Zhang Rongfang’s figure.
He looked up at the direction he had just flown up into the clouds, his expression heavy.
The temperature difference between passing through the clouds and not passing through was really this huge!
"Next, let me test the daylight again."
His gaze fixed on the clouds.
Suddenly, pillars of daylight descended from the sky, crashing onto the ground not far away.
One of the daylight pillars happened to strike the area above this tent.
Bang!!
The entire tent area shook as if hit by something immensely heavy.
Zhang Rongfang’s eyes flickered for a moment, then, under the gaze of Hongye and the others, he walked out of the tent area step by step, standing beneath the daylight pillar.
Hiss...
The temperature on his body began to rise rapidly. It quickly exceeded two thousand degrees.
But it only stopped there. Compared to the terrifyingly high temperature of six thousand degrees above the clouds, the ground’s temperature was not as significant a leap.
