Bai Ye walked forward, lost in thought.
Since he couldn't ask, he could only use his eyes to ascertain what kind of place this was.
Then...
Bai Ye discovered that this place truly had everything, and it was exactly the same as the world he knew.
Hotels, tea houses, arcades – everything that modern society possessed was here, along with many futuristic technological entertainments.
For example, 3D projection concert simulation KTVs, giant claw machines about ten meters tall, and virtual reality games.
Of course, some traditional amusement facilities were also present.
For instance, billiards.
However, the people here played billiards while flying. The table was twenty meters wide, and everyone used their swords to hit the balls into the pockets.
Beyond entertainment, Bai Ye found that the people here actually had to work.
Work itself wasn't the issue; ancient times also required work. However, these people, dressed in ancient attire yet performing very modern jobs, always struck Bai Ye as incongruous.
Some men were handing out flyers, while some women were soliciting customers at the entrances of shops.
Ahead, a massive screen was playing an advertisement.
A beautiful woman with rabbit ears smiled and held up a porcelain bottle, saying, "Chang'e Moon Wine, fresh and elegant, with a sweet aftertaste. You deserve it."
Two men, having just finished their night shifts, walked past Bai Ye, their faces tired, talking and smiling.
"Sì Mìng Star Lord, are you heading back now?"
"Dù È Star Lord, what are your thoughts?"
"How about we go to the seafood market for a drink?" Dù È Star Lord said with a smile. "That way, we can get a good night's sleep when we get back."
"Seafood market?" Sìmìng Star Lord asked.
"Don't you know?" Dù È Star Lord replied. "There are many small shops in the seafood market that serve sashimi or fish hot pots. The fish are caught fresh from the sea in the morning, making them incredibly delicious. Paired with a pot of hot wine, the experience is simply fantastic. And they only serve food in the morning; they're closed for lunch and dinner."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Sìmìng Star Lord said with a smile. "Let's go now!"
...
Bai Ye watched them walk away.
These two individuals, who seemed like salarymen, were actually the legendary Six Stars of the Southern Dipper. Sìmìng Star Lord was the First Prefecture Star, and Dù È Star Lord ranked fifth, presiding over the Heavenly Aspect Star.
These were all renowned celestial officials. Yet, in Bai Ye's eyes, they were like leeks who worked overtime, were oppressed by the 996 work schedule, and still shouted that the company was theirs.
But Bai Ye's true focus wasn't here.
The residents of this place...
Seemed to be all immortals!
For a moment, Bai Ye actually felt that these people around him being immortals was somewhat demeaning.
The two Star Lords who had just passed were one thing, but not far from Bai Ye was a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy with a plaque that read: Lao Jun's Furnace!
Just as Bai Ye was wondering if this "Lao Jun" was the one he was thinking of...
A burly man entered the pharmacy and shouted, "Taishang Laojun, grab me a prescription. My wife has been like a wolf these past few days; I can't do without this medicine."
Bai Ye: "..."
Good heavens, was Taishang Laojun, one of the Three Pure Ones, running a pharmacy?
And even selling blue pills?
Bai Ye felt his worldview shattering. But it wasn't over yet.
"Deng Jiugong, hurry up and sweep the floor, then wipe the table!"
Deng Jiugong? Damn it, wasn't that the Green Dragon Star!
Someone on the Investiture of the Gods list was being ordered around like this?
Then he looked again...
The Great Emperor of the Central Sacred Mountain Song, Wen Pin.
He slipped away, he slipped away...
As Bai Ye walked past them, he glanced at the sign, which read: Zhong Tian Palace Nightclub.
Bai Ye sighed. Morality is decadent, and the world is declining!
After walking further away, Bai Ye pondered the situation of this place.
A world of future technology with a strong ancient charm, where the residents were not mortals, but immortals.
Immortals...
This was the most bizarre aspect!
Bai Ye wanted to leave the World Battlefield. If there was any shortcut that didn't require conquering the central area, it would be to converse with the gods.
And now...
It seemed Bai Ye was surrounded by immortals!
Of course, they were gods, but could conversing with them reveal the truth of the World Battlefield? Could they help him leave the World Battlefield?
The more Bai Ye thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.
At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly stopped. Golden armored figures appeared ahead again.
These guys were more efficient than Bai Ye had imagined. They had already produced his portrait so quickly and were now questioning people one by one.
Bai Ye immediately turned around, intending to leave in the opposite direction.
"Stop!" A keen-eyed golden armored soldier immediately called out to Bai Ye, "What's going on with you? Why are you running when you see us?"
Two golden armored soldiers walked towards Bai Ye. As they gradually approached and came behind Bai Ye...
Suddenly, Bai Ye erupted, kicking out fiercely behind him, striking a golden armored soldier in the chest and sending him flying with a single kick. He then bolted forward.
"Catch him, someone..."
The two golden armored soldiers immediately shouted and chased after Bai Ye.
Bai Ye wanted to transform into lightning and disappear again, but at this moment...
"Glass Dome!"
A giant dome made of glass suddenly descended from the sky, enclosing Bai Ye within it.
The next instant, Bai Ye transformed into lightning and moved forward, only to hit his head against the glass dome. Helplessly, he revealed himself, rubbing his head.
The previous captain of the golden armored soldiers descended from the sky, landing outside the glass dome. He looked at Bai Ye and sneered, "Run, keep running. You're quite good at running, aren't you? Show me another run!"
Bai Ye glanced around. The glass dome seemed to be a magical artifact used for imprisonment, and...
Teleportation (using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to emit an electric field, transforming into current, allowing high-speed movement within the electric field and ignoring obstacles).
Teleportation was actually unaffected by obstacles. Even if something blocked Bai Ye's path, he could pass through it.
However, Bai Ye clearly could not pass through the glass dome.
"A mere mortal dares to cause trouble here," the captain said, waving his hand. "Take him away!"
Several golden armored soldiers around responded and walked towards Bai Ye. But at this moment...
Bai Ye curved his lips.
The glass dome seemed fine, but...
Rumble!
Bai Ye suddenly lifted his foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
With a bang!
The ground was shattered by Bai Ye's foot.
As the ground broke, the glass dome tilted, creating a gap underneath.
Bai Ye immediately transformed into current and escaped through the gap, fleeing into the distance.
