The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

With a loud thud, the bronze coffin opened, and light shone in once more.

At the same time, a breath of fresh and comfortable air rushed in. Outside, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, the trees were lush and green, and the mountains were towering and magnificent. Everything seemed very different.

The group emerged from the bronze coffin, which remained resting on a five-colored altar. This altar, built on the edge of a cliff, was dilapidated, with half of the nine-headed dragon corpse suspended in mid-air, teetering on the verge of collapse. Soon, the entire coffin pulled by the nine dragons fell to the ground.

Su Chen looked down along the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. Below the cliff, a rainbow of light flowed, hazy and misty, obscuring everything below.

Turning our gaze back to the distance, we see nine peculiar places shrouded in rosy light. These are nine springs, from which water continuously gushes forth, rising as steam that, under the scattering of sunlight, becomes a kaleidoscope of colors, like a paradise on earth.

The crowd was so shocked by the sight of the nine dragons pulling the coffin off the cliff that they retreated in shock, breaking out in a cold sweat. Had they come out a moment later, they would all have been buried alive in the coffin.

Pang Bo was drenched in cold sweat and exclaimed how close he had come to disaster.

Ye Fan laughed and said, "The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is extraordinary. If one dies inside, the corpse might become sentient and become a giant zombie."

Pang Bo rolled his eyes and said, "You should be the big dumpling yourself. I'm hungry and tired right now, and all I want to do is fill my stomach."

The group saw a huge stone tablet nearby with three seal characters engraved on it: “Wilderness Ancient Forbidden”. The character “地” at the end had been erased, but it was still easy to guess what it meant.

The news that this place was an ancient forbidden zone cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Su Chen headed towards the nine divine springs. This was the best time to pick the divine fruits and drink from the springs; such a good opportunity would never come again. Thanks to Ye Fan's presence, everyone not only got a free ride on an interstellar spaceship but also had a chance to defy fate. Whether they could seize this opportunity depended on their individual destiny. Clearly, Su Chen acted decisively, determined not to miss the chance to obtain the divine springs and fruits.

The speed was not fast, just walking at a normal human pace. After all, this was an ancient forbidden land, and below was a brother-obsessed emperor who had reincarnated many times, just to find a similar flower. The depth of his obsession was simply terrifying.

"Not to become an immortal, but only to wait for your return in the mortal world."

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of those words. People often say that longing is like the sea, but the Ruthless Great Emperor had waited for over two hundred thousand years, through the dwindling sea and the changing of the years, and still could not find peace.

Ye Fan glanced at Su Chen, gave Pang Bo a look, and whispered, "Let's follow him quietly. This man is no ordinary person. What he's rushing to find must be a treasure."

Pang Bo's eyes lit up, and he whispered back, "Ye Zi, you're the clever one. Let's go."

Before leaving, Ye Fan not only called Pang Bo along, but also Xu Ziling and Liu Yiyi, two classmates with whom he had a fairly good relationship. He ignored the rest, since these people had formed cliques and had targeted him quite a bit during the interstellar travel, especially Liu Yunzhi, who acted like a lunatic after waking up and kept targeting him and Pang Bo.

Now this group of people are searching for wild fruits to eat. Ye Fan noticed that some people had snacks hidden in their bags, but he didn't plan to take them out to share with everyone.

Su Chen traversed the dense forest and arrived at the first spring. Water gushed forth, forming a small puddle about a meter wide. A faint fragrance wafted from the spring, mingled with the aroma of divine fruit.

This is a two-meter-tall divine tree, its whole body shining brightly. It bears eighteen fruits, red like cherries, but the size of a fist, radiating a red glow.

Su Chen picked a fruit, sat under the tree, and began to eat it, bite by bite. A short while later, he heard commotion coming from the woods and saw Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zhang Ziling, and Liu Yiyi appear. The four stopped when they saw Su Chen; after all, Su Chen, wielding an ancient bronze sword, and having sent Liu Yunzhi flying with a single palm strike on the ancient bronze coffin, had left a deep impression on them.

Seeing Ye Fan stop in his tracks, Su Chen smiled slightly and waved to them.

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he said, "That person called us over, so it seems they mean no harm. Let's go."

Pang Bo exclaimed excitedly, "Ye Zi, you're right! The spring water is shrouded in mist and has a rainbow of colors; it's clearly no ordinary spring. And the red berries on the tree are so bright and shiny; they're simply divine. I think even the peaches that Sun Wukong ate back then couldn't compare to these."
