Han Zhan walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

He saw Shang Siteng sitting there, revealing two smooth long legs crossed together, but her expression was solemn.

"What happened?"

"A shuttle discovered a new island in the North Sea, southwest of Nuwa Continent."

"It appeared suddenly, much like the plot progression method you described from Fu Xi Continent."

Shang Siteng had been developing on Nuwa Continent for a long time, and apart from frequently confronting the Calamity Beasts, she hadn't encountered any other unexpected situations.

As a result, as soon as Han Zhan arrived, the main storyline of Nuwa Continent began to turn.

"Take a look at this."

Shang Siteng moved aside on the couch, gesturing for Han Zhan to sit down.

Han Zhan glanced at the three large sofas nearby.

He decided to squeeze in.

Sitting down beside Shang Siteng, the images from the shuttle were shown again.

Looking at that creature as large as the island itself, resembling both a dragon and a horse, the name immediately popped into Han Zhan's head.

Dragon Horse.

But not the former kind.

This was the legendary ancient creature, the Dragon Horse, which appeared in tales much like the North Sea Profound Turtle.

The North Sea Profound Turtle provided the Luo Book.

And the Dragon Horse, very likely, just like the legend says, carries the River Map!

River Map and Luo Book.

When these two are combined, they will undoubtedly bring unexpected rewards!

With this, solving the Dragon Horse issue becomes paramount.

"The North Sea Profound Turtle is at Tier Nine Peak, and the Dragon Horse's strength will likely not be weaker; it's very possible it's also at Tier Nine Peak."

With their current strength, attempting to challenge a Tier Nine Peak is almost impossible.

Unless Great God Fu Xi possesses someone once more.

Or, allow Great God Nuwa to possess once?

Han Zhan was not disheartened by this, as long as it appears in the Fruit World, there must be a way to resolve it.

The solution on Fu Xi Continent lies in the Fu Xi Zither.

The solution on Nuwa Continent lies in the Nuwa Stone.

As Han Zhan pondered, he shifted his gaze.

"On the Nuwa Stone... the Nuwa Stone's... this Nuwa Stone, it's so white..."

...

The next day, in the afternoon.

Han Zhan yawned as he came outside.

Shang Siteng was finishing a call with the shuttle department.

"A piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"The good news."

"The good news is, the shuttle pilot who lost contact last night has returned safely."

Returned safely?

Upon hearing this, Han Zhan was wide awake, all his sleepiness gone.

Yesterday evening from the video segment, he had heard the whole process of the shuttle pilot losing contact.

He originally thought it would take a few days for progress, but it had already returned today?

"Are you sure it's him?" Han Zhan asked an additional question.

The Alien Race has treacherous means, impossible to defend against. It's never wrong to be careful.

Shang Siteng nodded.

"Already tested and verified by fifteen different methods; it is indeed him without any problems."

"Furthermore, he passed the Outer Heaven Origin's inspection and hasn't been contaminated."

Even the Nuwa Stone hadn't found anything abnormal, making the possibility of an Alien Race's disguised parasitism significantly lower. Han Zhan promptly followed up with:

"Then after his return, what information did he bring back?"

Shang Siteng's expression turned a bit strange.

"This brings me to what I'm about to say, the bad news."

"The bad news is, the Dragon Horse is indeed very powerful, but it is in a dormant state, and this state seems to affect the entire island."

"The shuttle accident was because it entered the island area, but once the pilot walked out of the island interior to the island's edge, everything returned to normal."

The sleeping Dragon Horse, the affected island.

This is the latest clue.

"The specifics will have to wait until we visit in person to reach further conclusions."

"Is that the bad news you mentioned? It's not particularly bad."

Upon hearing Han Zhan's remark, Shang Siteng sighed.

"For researchers like us, the unknown is the worst news."

"The Dragon Horse is asleep, and its state might differ from the North Sea Profound Turtle; one might even surmise that awakening the Dragon Horse is part of the task."

"That is to say, the Dragon Horse could become a member of our faction. Have you considered what this means?"

A Tier Nine Peak level Dragon Horse, coupled with the River Map and Luo Book, all becoming allies.

If it were an ordinary time, Han Zhan might as well shout, then I'd be invincible!

But here, under the Fruit World's rules, being so generous in giving such terrifying assistance can only prove one thing.

The final BOSS they need to face will be very strong!

And excessively powerful!

Only in this way can it explain why the Fruit World would arrange such powerful backing and tools during the main storyline phase.

This is exactly what Shang Siteng realized, which is why she said it's bad news.

After hearing this, Han Zhan also let out a heavy breath.

"There is no better option right now."

"We must awaken the Dragon Horse as soon as possible to know what to do next."

Heading to the island where the Dragon Horse is located is imperative.

So, next, they need to discuss how many people they should bring.

"We don't need many from Nuwa Continent, as they're just ordinary people and won't make much difference; I can go alone."

Shang Siteng spoke first.

"Over on Fu Xi Continent, I think at least one representative from Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire factions should come, together with me."

The reason to bring people from Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire villages is because they each represent the four elements that make up the world.

What if awakening the Dragon Horse requires the four elements?

With this consideration, Han Zhan provided his thoughts.

"So, the initial number of people landing on the island will be six."

"I'll call the research department right away to have them formulate quantum transmission coordinates based on the data sent back by the shuttle."

"I'd like to visit their residences first and discuss who each village will send."

Han Zhan continued.

In Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire villages, apart from Earth Element Village, the other villages have a lot of people to consider.

This journey to Dragon Horse Island, although seemingly low-risk, isn't without risks.

Han Zhan is called "Sir" by people on Fu Xi Continent, but matters regarding who each village sends are best discussed among themselves.

"If you want to find them, you'll probably have to visit several places," Shang Siteng coldly reminded.

"Yesterday's plan has been completed, personnel facilities are arranged today, and they have started their respective adaptability training."

Hearing this, Han Zhan felt a deep sense of shame.

"These guys are working so hard, and I'm the only one who hasn't started?"

"You have started too, just omitting the 'adaptability' part."

Shang Siteng's words made Han Zhan blush.

"Let's go, take me to find them, finalize the personnel list today, tomorrow morning we head to Dragon Horse Island!"

Han Zhan changed the topic and walked out somewhat awkwardly.
