Chinatown, the United States.
An old man wearing glasses was reading a newspaper at a news stand.
Many Chinese and Westerners were walking around him, and it was very lively.
No one was paying him any attention as he was quite inconspicuous in the crowd.
If someone were to buy anything from him, he would put down the newspaper in his hands and then communicate with them either in Chinese or English with a kind face. He was giving others a feeling that he was just a kind, old man.
At this time, a woman walked toward him and said, “Boss, give me a newspaper.”
The old man gave the woman a glance and nodded with a smile, and then gave the woman a newspaper.
The moment that the woman took the newspaper, she then said in Portuguese, “The madam only has around two months left. Should we move?”
“We will talk about that once we take down Chinatown and the surrounding area,” the old man then said with a smile. After he had received the money, he then sat back on his seat and pushed his glasses, and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hands.
The woman sighed and then turned and left.
After the woman left, the newspapers that the old man was reading began to be soaked in drops of water.

Floating Island, Divine Dominion.
After Little Fan fell asleep, Jiang Feng was sitting on the Floating Island alone as he headed toward the Shifters’ Ruins.
The Floating Island’s location was already very close to the edge of Silvermoon’s map.
There was only darkness, and he could only use the stars as his guide.
Whoosh!
He opened his Golden Fire Sacred Domain, and his surroundings became brightened.
There were many monsters here as well, and they had all been infernalized and were extremely violent.
However, the infernalized monsters could not breach through the Floating Island thanks to its defense array.
After flying for quite a while, the Divine Floating island had finally reached Silvermoon’s edge.
At the edge of Silvermoon was a very thick defense array. It could also be called the atmosphere.
As soon as the Floating Island approached the atmosphere, his path had then been blocked.
Outside of the atmosphere, there was only darkness and the vast void other than the stars.
One year ago, the promo material had shown the vastness of space when he had just started playing the game.
The Great Divine-Infernal War had also started in space.
In that promo video, the Insectoids, the Infernals, and the Divines all had great armies. There were great battles being waged in spaceships, and the entire space began to shake because of the great war.
That meant that the main battlefront of the Great Divine-Infernal War should also be within space.
Otherwise, there would not be a place where it could contain all the players and NPCs from the Divine Dominion Continent, Silvermoon, and Dragonquarry to fight together.
“How should I get past this?” Jiang Feng had a headache when he looked at the barrier in front of him.
It was useless to just stare at it so he took out the Ruler of Hakai and sliced toward the barrier.
Boom!
The Ruler of Hakai’s skill blasted at the barrier and caused it to shake and it was seemingly pressed inward. However, it was restored to its original form in the next second. There was not much use at all.
“Dimension Door!”
Since the Ruler of Hakai was useless, he then used his teleport skill.
“Ouch!”
Unfortunately, he crashed directly into the barrier to the point where he was getting a headache.
Next, Jiang Feng tried many ways but he could not step forward as he looked at the nebula outside.
“How the hell am I supposed to crossover?!” Jiang Feng roared maddeningly.
If he could not cross over, he could not obtain the second stage of the Shifters’ Inheritance. If he could not obtain the second stage of the Shifters’ Inheritance, the increase of his power would be too slow.
If he did not have enough power, his nation would be easily destroyed after he had built it.
“Noisy…”
At this time, Little Fan rubbed his red eyes and floated into the sky.
After opening his eyes and seeing the twinkling nebula behind the barrier, he said excitedly with a pair of beaming eyes, “Pretty!”
Jiang Feng then said to Little Fan apologetically and said, “I am sorry, son. I woke you up.”
Little Fan pointed at the nebula and said, “Go!”
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes. “I want to go too, but I can’t.”
“Me… Go…” Little Fan pointed at his own nose.
“…”
Jiang Fan was speechless and thought to himself, ‘Even I can’t crossover, can you?”
Little Fan glanced at Jiang Fan. From his expression, he seemed to have understood what Jiang Feng was thinking. He took out his small sword unconvincingly and then approached the barrier.
As he floated in front of the barrier, he used his little sword and gestured at the barrier. And then, his little body suddenly flew up even higher, and then called out coldly as the little sword in his hand stabbed at the barrier.
Slash!
And what shocked Jiang Feng was that the barrier in front of him was like a piece of fabric that had been easily cut apart, and a giant hole that was just enough to allow the Floating Island to pass opened up.
When the hole on the barrier appeared, Jiang Feng quickly manipulated the Floating Island and headed outside of the barrier.
Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on entering Space.
As soon as he breached the barrier, a system’s voice entered his ears.
The moment that the barrier began to seal itself, Little Fan quickly rushed out and landed on the Floating Island.
Jiang Feng looked around in shock and wonder as he was floating within the vastness of space.
“I wonder if there are any people or monsters on those planets?” Jiang Feng could not help but mumble when he looked at the stars far, far away.
Little Fan flew toward him and said, “Let’s go!”
Jiang Fan controlled the Floating Island and headed toward where the Shifters’ Ruins were, and then asked Little Fan curiously, “Little Fan, how did you open that barrier?”
“Sword!” Little Fan picked up the little sword in his hand.
Looking at the little sword in Little Fan’s head, Jiang Feng noted to himself the oddity, ‘The sword was the sword seed that Li Xiaoyao gave Little Fan earlier, but the sword seed was just a Divine Artifact. Even if has grown, it couldn’t possibly have become so strong. However, even I can’t see the sword’s stats now, and this sword could open up the barrier, could it be…”
When he thought about it, he suddenly remembered the words that Tathagata said when he first saw Little Fan!
The Pre-Creation Fetal Aura!
His guess was that the little sword in Little Fan’s hand was a Pre-Creation Absolute Artifact. A treasure that even the NPCs at Dragonquarry would fight for.
The barrier surrounding Silvermoon could only be cut open using a Pre-Creation Absolute Artifact. Anything less powerful than that would be useless.
That was why Little Fan could break open the barrier.
“Fine, I should go to the Shifters’ Ruins first. If the little sword was really a Pre-Creation Absolute Treasure, it would be of great help to me!” Jiang Feng gave a smile and patted Little Fan’s head. He then controlled the floating island and quickly flew toward the Shifters’ Ruins.
From the map formed by the six pieces of Shifters’ Ruins Map Fragment, the Ruins were still quite a distance away. It was located behind a star that was right in front of them.
Jiang Feng became excited when he thought that he could reach the Shifters’ Ruins very soon.
“Hm?”
However, just as he was getting excited, a problem suddenly appeared.
