[System prompt: You have successfully arrived in the Great Thousand Worlds, a grand and perilous new adventure awaits you. Please remain vigilant and tread carefully, as every inch of shadow on this land may hide a deadly threat... May you find your own beacon of hope on this desolate wasteland.]
[System prompt: You have awakened.]
A dazzling white light recedes like a tide, and Xiao Jie’s consciousness gradually coalesces from dizziness.
The first thing he feels is the sudden return of weight to his body, and a strong imbalance and dizziness akin to an elevator suddenly stopping from high speed.
Then cos a deep "boom" with a substantial shock beneath his feet—he lands heavily on solid ground.
The enormous energy impact from super long-distance teleportation makes even his immortal body feel a surge of Qi and Blood; it’s the first ti since becoming an immortal that he experiences freefall and hard landing.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, he takes a dozen breaths to forcefully suppress the strong dizziness, finally regaining composure.
Almost instantly upon recovering, his combat instincts kick in, putting him on the highest alert, with caution scanning his surroundings.
The Spiritual Energy within him activates imdiately, ready for combat at any mont.
Since Tongtian Taoist clearly inford him that this Great Thousand Worlds has long beco a doomsday wasteland, there is no rule assuring that the teleportation landing point would be absolutely safe.
Danger may lurk beneath each piece of rubble, and in every strand of air.
Yet as he looks around, he is stunned, unable to believe his eyes.
"What the... What’s going on?"
Currently, he stands in the center of an ancient ruin. Beneath his feet is a large circular platform made of stone slabs, with a diater of more than ten zhang, the slabs engraved with many Immortal Law runes. The outline of a Teleportation Array can still be faintly recognized, although most runes have beco blurred due to erosion over unknown ages, edged with signs of weathering.
Surrounding the platform are countless fractured large stone columns and crumbling wall remnants. The grand scale of the remnants suggests that a magnificent structure once stood here.
However, when he looks beyond the ruins, what he sees stuns him completely.
Surrounding the ancient ruins is neither the expected shattered walls nor doomsday scorched earth, but a vibrant, lush forest full of life!
Tall trees with branches and leaves densely cover the area, and bright sunlight filters through the gaps, casting fragnted shadows on the ground.
The air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and the fragrance of flowers and grasses, the gentle sound of streams can be faintly heard, and lodious birdsong echoes crisply in the woods, a few brightly-feathered birds perched on nearby branches, tilting their heads to look at him.
Further away, even a few squirrels can be seen climbing up and down tree branches, everything filled with serene and delightful natural charm.
"Is this... is this the doomsday wasteland?" Xiao Jie forcefully blinks, almost thinking he is hallucinating. The scene before him contrasts so greatly with his imagined doomsday scenario that he imdiately suspects he might have teleported to the wrong place, tossed into so Small World.
System!
He silently recites in his mind. Fortunately, the familiar ga interface responds instantly, appearing before his eyes. Confirming he remains within the ’Old Soil’ ga world, eases him slightly.
He directly opens the map interface to check his current precise location.
At the map’s center, next to the cursor representing his position, are the three ancient characters—[Returning Ho Platform].
He slightly reduces the map scale, enlarging the map, showing the current area nad—[Land of Ashes].
Panning the map view up further reveals a larger region na—[Red Earth Fla Continent].
Continuing to expand the view to the limit, the whole world’s na finally presents itself clearly—[Great Thousand Worlds].
The map’s structure is evidently a kind of "celestial and flat earth" shape; the land is not spherical but a colossal flat surface.
The entire Great Thousand Worlds is equally composed of nine gigantic continents, collectively known as "Nine States." Judging by the map’s scale, any single "state" is vast in area, far larger than all of Xiao Jie’s familiar Jiuzhou World combined.
Beyond the Nine States is the more expansive "Four Seas" region, strewn with countless islands of varying sizes across the sea, so even comparable to the size of Jiuzhou World. Sadly, aside from the small area where he currently resides, most of the map interface remains obscured by map fog, only an outline can be seen.
Xiao Jie instinctively attempts to further pan up the map view, unexpectedly, the map continues to enlarge, displaying an even broader cosmic structure.
Beyond the Nine States and Four Seas, countless constellations and planets are seen orbiting the Nine States and Four Seas, rotating slowly. According to the map annotations, these celestial bodies also seem to be explorable regions.
