"Is there really such a fateful encounter?" Lin Qianxuan showed a surprised expression, and then continued, "Ladies, could you tell me where this place is? Do you know the whereabouts of Earth?"

"Earth? Is it the Outer Realm world where Young Master Lin's homeland is?" Gongsun Ying asked.

"Yes." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

"The world we are in is called 'Qingling World.' This is the Great Qian Country. As for the Earth you mentioned, we have never heard of it," Gongsun Yue pondered before answering.

She noticed that Lin Qianxuan had been using the language of Great Qian Country all along, which made her very curious.

She wondered if it was Lin Qianxuan's ability or if he was deliberately hiding some information.

"You don't know?"

Lin Qianxuan slightly furrowed his brow, pretending to be somewhat troubled.

"Do you know what Young Master Lin plans to do next?" Gongsun Ying asked Lin Qianxuan, "If you have nowhere to go, perhaps after we take a short rest, you could return to the base with us for shelter and a place to stay."

"I indeed have nowhere to go, so I shall not decline. Thank you very much for offering me refuge, ladies," Lin Qianxuan bowed.

"It's nothing. We haven't thanked Young Master Lin for saving our lives yet! If not for your timely intervention, we wouldn't know what to do under the siege of those corrupt spirits," Gongsun Ying replied.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Qianxuan smoothly received an invitation to Zhang City, and he immediately transformed into a complete human form, which caused a slight change in their expressions.

Gongsun Ying led Lin Qianxuan back to the crowd and briefly introduced him to the three Squad Commanders.

After these introductions, Gongsun Yue took out her gourd, infused it with Divine Energy, and used Spiritual Liquid to treat Gongsun Ying's injuries.

Gongsun Ying had not yet obtained the Blood and Flesh Armor Body. After Bursting Qi, her internal organs and even her veins and muscles suffered severe injuries, the pain spreading all over her body, making living worse than dying.

However, she did not usually show it, and only the perceptive Gongsun Yue could truly understand how painful it was.

Thus, Gongsun Yue's Divine Machine was not a weapon, but a gourd used for healing.

After drinking the Spiritual Liquid, Gongsun Ying's injuries were alleviated, and her slightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

At this time, Gongsun Yue went to heal other people.

Lin Qianxuan looked at Gongsun Ying healing her injuries on the spot and felt a bit bored.

In the game, this part of the storyline was just a flash, but in reality, healing took at least two or three hours.

After wandering around the Rebel Army, Gongsun Yue came to Lin Qianxuan's side.

"What is Young Master thinking about?" Gongsun Yue asked.

"What were those things that surrounded you earlier? Are the beasts in this realm indeed so fierce?" Lin Qianxuan pretended not to know and asked.

"Those were corrupt spirits, creatures distorted by the invasion of corrupt energy..." Gongsun Yue explained.

While explaining, Gongsun Yue also paid attention to Lin Qianxuan's expression.

He showed no sign of surprise or understanding; it seemed as if he already knew everything she said.

So why ask? How did he know?

Moreover, when he looked at her and the crowd, his gaze was not that of a stranger but rather like someone looking at old acquaintances or friends not seen for a while.

Gongsun Yue slightly extended her inner probe outward, easily sensing some of Lin Qianxuan's emotions.

Joy, excitement, anxiety, relief... very complex feelings that she couldn't decipher.

Lin Qianxuan noticed Gongsun Yue's gaze on him and turned back to smile slightly at her.

Gongsun Yue quickly withdrew her inner probe.

"With such talent, a lady should be proud. Why hide with fear?" Lin Qianxuan said.

"Living among people, having talents not accepted by ordinary folks might not be a good thing," Gongsun Yue replied.

"That's true." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

He didn't try to persuade her; without personal experience, one can't have a say.

Some matters aren't simply let go just because one says to let go.

Looking at Lin Qianxuan, Gongsun Yue remembered the scene where he had transformed into a dragon, manipulated water, and fought against many corrupt spirits, feeling that he must have some stories too.

"The Divine Power Young Master used earlier was immensely powerful. You must be one of the top experts on Earth?" Gongsun Yue tentatively asked.

An Outer Realm person who appeared suspiciously among the Rebel Army raised her concern, naturally prompting her to probe.

"Not really, maybe second tier at most." Lin Qianxuan replied, "There are quite a few stronger than me."

Gongsun Yue seemed to grasp something, yet praised, "That Young Master is already remarkable. Being able to cultivate such Divine Power at your age, Young Master must have extraordinary talent and tremendous effort."

"Extraordinary talent is true, but as for effort, not much really." Lin Qianxuan smiled.

He knew Gongsun Yue was probing him, but he had no intention of hiding.

There's no need to hide; revealing some speakable things to Gongsun Yue is fine.

To avoid excessive suspicion, which could hinder strategic developments.

Later, Gongsun Yue chatted with Lin Qianxuan about other aspects of Earth, showing apparent curiosity.

Lin Qianxuan generally shared insights, even exchanging about the basic physical knowledge of their respective worlds.

Other things could be fabricated, but regarding these parts, a complete system of basic physical knowledge cannot be flawlessly fabricated.

The most important thing was, Lin Qianxuan took out the phone and tactical watch the Otherworld Bureau had prepared for him and showed them to Gongsun Yue.

These exquisite mechanical creations, Gongsun Yue could see the internal workings at a glance; their operating principles were completely different from the Divine Machines of their world.

Regarding Lin Qianxuan's origins, Gongsun Yue immediately believed him by seventy percent.

Lin Qianxuan felt somewhat emotional; the technology of the Otherworld Bureau was indeed reliable.

He actually brought the phone he originally purchased, but that one could no longer power on, yet the one manufactured by the Otherworld Bureau was still usable.

During the conversation, Lin Qianxuan also truly felt the differences in the physical rules of this world compared to Earth.

The gravitational pull of the land was stronger, the oxygen content in the air was higher, and there were some uncertain components. Additionally, the conditions for friction generating heat were achieved more quickly and easily here.

He didn't know if it was due to a higher friction coefficient of materials or something else.

This is a brand-new world, possessing its independent rules. The common knowledge from Earth cannot be applied completely.

It was precisely these things that made Lin Qianxuan clearly feel that he had arrived in the Otherworld.

In such an environment, if an ordinary person were to cross over, their internal organs and the pressure around them would be significantly greater. The air they breathed would make them vomit and feel dizzy, potentially leading to death on the spot due to acclimatization issues within minutes.

In the game, he hadn't noticed it. Looking at it now, don't even mention the muddy air brought by the tribulation; even the basic environment of this Otherworld is quite dangerous.

Crossing has always been a highly lethal and dangerous event.

Without an extraordinary physique and adaptability to the environment, it's practically courting death.

The rebel army members rested for three hours, then began their journey back.

On the return trip, things went much more smoothly, with Lin Qianxuan escorting them, and the three Squad Commanders and Gongsun Ying had recovered some of their Divine Energy, regaining two to three tenths of their combat power. Ordinary muddy spirits were simply no match.

Half a day later, a tall city wall appeared in front of everyone.

Shen Hongshan held the token, went up to exchange the password with the city guards, and the city gate was directly opened.

Then everyone entered the city just like that.

There were some civilians on both sides of the street, but most of them looked yellow and emaciated, with vacant eyes.

Seeing everyone return this time didn't cause any emotional change at all.

After all, this wasn't the first time they had despaired.

The rebel army had been defeated repeatedly until they finally retreated to Zhang City.

Gongsun Ying slightly clenched her fist, unwilling, but there was nothing she could do about it. This rendered her even more powerless; the pain from her physical body caused her to fail in controlling the operation of her leg Divine Machine, causing her to stumble.

Gongsun Yue quickly supported Gongsun Ying from the side.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled slightly at each other.

This is how they have always supported and encouraged each other to make it this far.

It seemed as if Gongsun Yue was relying on Gongsun Ying, but in reality, how could Gongsun Ying do without Gongsun Yue?

Lin Qianxuan's gaze swept through the crowd and landed on a scruffy man carrying a wine jug. The man looked dismayed upon seeing the rebel army, shook his head sadly, and left while drinking.

This man was indeed Guan Hao of the Divine Wood Valley.

Now the Agricultural Official of Zhang City.

A person who lost everything in the disaster and still held a knot in his heart.

His sect elders, junior brothers, and sisters all perished due to the muddy tribulation, and the one he loved dared not express their feelings because of worldly concerns. Once the tribulation hit, it was too late for everything.

Nowadays, he lived like a walking corpse without a goal.

However, his strength was no less than that of the Purified Violet Bamboo Young Master. Pulling him into the fold could save a lot of effort.

Additionally, there should be another expert of similar combat strength in Zhang City, Bo Mu of the Carefree Pavilion.

That guy had also experienced similar encounters and was found by the Sect Leader of the Carefree Pavilion as a successor after the muddy tribulation arrived.

But he didn't have as complicated a love story as Guan Hao; from the start, he was a wanderer who wouldn't invest much energy in romantic relationships. Hence, he hadn't completely fallen; as long as there was a hope of avenging his sect and ending the muddy tribulation, he would join the rebel army in fighting monsters.

In addition, there were fifteen other Team Captain Level experts who could be recruited.

It was worthwhile to make an effort to win those people over.

During the time back in Kyoto, without their help, it would've been impossible to clear all the Moon Peaks so quickly.

While Lin Qianxuan was pondering, everyone had already arrived in front of a mansion.

The large words "Gao Mansion" appeared before them, causing Lin Qianxuan to be slightly distracted.

These two words were both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

In the game, he had seen them more than ten times.

But to see them in reality, this was the first time.

"Young master, please follow us inside to rest," Gongsun Yue said, addressing the distracted Lin Qianxuan.

"Alright." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

Upon entering the mansion, many logistics personnel came up, taking the rebel army members away for treatment. Lin Qianxuan was also assigned to a room to rest. In the meantime, he stored the metal cargo box, shrouded in clouds and transported from above the sky, outside his residence on an empty space.

The box was made of alloy, with high strength and a password lock, so it couldn't be opened by ordinary people. As it was always within his mental detection range, he wasn't worried about any accidents.

In the guest room, looking at the same arrangement as in the game, Lin Qianxuan smiled.

This beginning, it was a very good completion.
