“Why are you looking at me?” Bei Qingyan asked, as she found it strange that Gao Peng kept staring at her.

“Encyclopedia Bei, tell us everything that you know.” Gao Peng raised his eyebrows, thinking he looked very charismatic when he did so.

Bei Qingyan quietly shifted her gaze, and after a long time, she said, “What else do you want to know?”

“You seem to know quite a lot about Jiutian Shidi.”

“That’s because my tribe lived in Jiutian Shidi.” Bei Qingyan had stopped smiling. “At that time, nobody called it Earth Star. It was only known as Jiutian Shidi. I think that Earth Star only became the way it is now after it was sealed.”

“Are there nine heavens and ten levels of hell in Jiutian Shidi?” Gao Peng asked.

Bei Qingyan gave Gao Peng a strange look. “No. Jiutian Shidi is just a general statement. They only gave it this term because there’s one less heaven.”

“So that’s the case... So if there were equal amounts of both, wouldn’t it be called Shitian Shidi?” Gao Peng started laughing as he said that.

“Jiutian is a vast world. You guys would describe it as an entire continent,” Bei Qingyan began.

“Our Northern Ice Tribe used to reside in the frost archipelago in Jiutian. Jiutian and Shidi were independent of each other then, and if you wanted to go from Jiutian to Shidi, you had to use a special tunnel. Honestly speaking, it was my first time entering hell just now. I’ve only heard the seniors in my tribe talk about that place in the past.” At the thought of her relatives, Bei Qingyan’s expression momentarily grew gloomy. However, she pulled herself together again very quickly.

“So there are regulators in Shidi, but none of them in Jiutian?”

“There are none in Jiutian.” Bei Qingyan shook her head regretfully. “However, there are some very strong monster communities in Jiutian... They’re even stronger than my tribe and have lived in Jiutian since ancient times. In fact, some of them who have existed since the start of time are in a deep sleep,. They’ll be woken up if the world is thrown into disorder.”

As Gao Peng continued to question her, he heard some interesting stories about the Northern Ice Tribe, such as what was delicious near the frost archipelago and what kind of monster communities existed there, as well as what the tribe people usually ate...

Gao Peng had an epiphany. “I didn’t expect you to be a geek.”

Bei Qingyan gave Gao Peng a look. Where else could she have gone if she hadn’t remained within the tribe back then?

“Don’t belittle Jiutian just because there are no regulators there. Even though Jiutian is slightly smaller than Shidi, it’s just a matter of relativity. Moreover, it’s precisely because there are no regulators in Jiutian that things are more brutal there.”

“But I’m a little curious, why did you guys leave Earth Star back then? Moreover, your entire tribe left together. Even if you had enemies, they would have been against the entire human species. I’m also human, and when the time comes, I believe that we’ll all be in this together along with the ancient tribes,” said Gao Peng.

This was also the aspect he was most worried about. There had to have been a reason why these ancient tribe people left back then—it was either because the environment wasn’t suitable for their survival or because they couldn’t survive...

It wouldn’t be as bad if it was the former, but if it was the latter, Gao Peng would have to contemplate if there was a reason why humankind couldn’t survive in Jiutian. If that was the case, there was the possibility that he would have to force humankind into exile in another world.

“Not everybody left. At that time, only the old and the weak in the various tribes left Jiutian Shidi. My father remained behind.” Bei Qingyan paused for a moment and shook her head quietly. “All I know is that my father, along with the seniors in the tribe, took the elites and their familiars and left the Northern Ice Tribe to fight in the war.”

“All right.” Gao Peng knew that there wasn’t anything more he could ask Bei Qingyan. “Da Zi is fast, so let’s take him on our journey back so we can go back earlier and have hotpot.”

Da Zi turned around, puzzled. Gao Peng, you actually want to ride on my back with another woman. Do you think that I, Da Zi, don’t care about how I appear?

“I’ll make you something good to eat when we get back,” said Gao Peng.

“Hurry up and get on!” Da Zi rushed them.

Half an hour later, Gao Peng arrived back at the Southern Sky Group.

Bei Qingyan sighed. “Da Zi is very fast. I’ve never seen any familiars back in my tribe that could fly faster.”

Da Zi snorted. That goes without saying. My nickname, ‘Da Zi Black Fog Expert,’ doesn’t exist without a reason. There isn’t a single shrimp in the Black Fog Sea that can match me. As long as I, Da Zi, am willing to, I am the happiest... no, my bad, I’m the fastest centipede on the surface of the sea.

Even though Gao Peng felt very comfortable hanging around his family members, he had to think of danger even in times of safety. Despite the fact that Earth Star was currently safe, their security was based solely on the premise of his strength.

Moreover, the rate at which Earth Star was shedding its restrictions was much faster than Gao Peng had imagined. Even the Overlord-tier Da Zi could appear on Earth Star now. Based on this speed, Gao Peng didn’t know when it would be possible for Saint-tier familiars to show up here.

When one was running ahead of everyone, one could not relax. One could not even afford to lose and clinch the first runner-up position.

Gao Peng stayed in the Southern Sky Group for about a week, during which he often went fishing with his grandfather and drank tea while chatting with him. He complied with his grandfather’s request and occasionally accompanied Bei Qingyan to go shopping as well.

“Grandfather, I’m going to leave now.” Gao Peng bid farewell to his grandfather reluctantly.

“Stop behaving like a young child. Earth Star is too small. Go to the places where you should, and stop worrying about an old bloke like me,” said his grandfather.

“Hm.” Gao Peng nodded aggressively before he turned around and leaped onto Da Zi’s back. Da Zi half-lifted his wings, and in the following second, the terrifying speed resulted in the formation of purple rainbow as Da Zi disappeared into the sky.

...

In the Black Fog World, there was an isolated island floating on the sea.

There were no fish or shrimps within a hundred miles of that island. The sea surrounding the island was much darker than usual, and there were unceasing turbid waves.

There was a palace erected on a hill in the center of the island. A long white ladder that led to the main door of the palace extended from the top of the hill to the bottom. Each rung was made of thick white bones.

The sea surrounding the island suddenly swirled downwards to create a whirlpool. A gigantic fish head emerged from the vortex. The scales on its head were as smooth as a mirror, and it had extremely eye-catching eyes and mouth.

The two small green beans on the head of the big fish looked exceptionally funny. Its mouth stretched from the left to the right, and when its top and bottom lips parted, it looked as though its entire head could split apart. Inside its huge mouth were dozens of rows of jagged teeth; it didn’t seem like a mouth as much as an oversized meat grinder.

“Dumby, I finally found a trace of my treasure.” Fatty Big Sea laughed wildly. “Damn it, I finally found it after looking for such a long time. Just wait until I get my treasure back. I’ll take you guys to a feast! Hahaha!”

A slender figure emerged from the palace. From the moment it appeared, an extreme magical power filled the space, as if the dead air in the empty sky was cheering for it. “Then go ahead and snatch your treasure back,” said Dumby calmly. There were bone spikes on the back of its head like a crown. Its dark gold skeleton was engulfed in black mist, and a death ring surrounded its body.

“Oh...” Fatty Big Sea answered awkwardly. Of course, I’d snatch it back if I could. The problem is that I can’t.

*Shi is ten in Mandarin, while jiu is nine. Gao Peng is making a joke about nine heavens (Jiutian) and ten heavens (Shitian).
