506: Chapter 506 Searching for the Answer

Time slipped away quietly amidst this calm study.

On the first day, the two consolidated basic vocabulary and grammar;

On the second day, they mastered daily conversations and common expressions;

On the third day, they began reading complex literature and ancient texts!

Chen Yi picked up a book introducing the history of the Void Realm and opened the first page.

Those characters that were originally foreign now appeared almost identical to his native language in his eyes!

During the time they waited for Zhao Zhao to return, Chen Yi and Emilia continued to peruse the texts in the Secret Realm.

As their mastery of the Void Realm language became more proficient, the content they could read became increasingly profound.

And the more they read, the stranger their expressions became.

"It says here—"

Chen Yi closed a book with a complex expression, "The world malice of the Void Realm views humans from our life planet the same way humans view small animals—"

Emilia also put down the book in her hand, revealing a rare, wry smile.

"Pretty much—"

"They consider us interesting creatures, cute existences, and companions that can provide emotional value."

"But in essence, there's really no difference from a pet."

Chen Yi rubbed his forehead, "So, we were brought home by Zhao Zhao because she sees us like cute kittens and puppies?"

Emilia nodded slightly, "I suppose so—"

"Then Nolan—"

"He might want to keep a special pet."

Chen Yi was silent for a long time.

Then, he laughed.

It wasn't anger or humiliation, but a sense of helplessness.

"After all that—we were brought home to be treated as pets?"

Emilia also laughed out loud, "At least that's better than being viewed as food."

Chen Yi nodded with a wry smile.

Indeed!

In the Void Realm, in the eyes of world malice like ZERO, they were originally food.

But now, in the eyes of Nolan and Zhao Zhao, they had become pets—

Although it wasn't exactly a flattering title, at least there shouldn't be any major trouble.

"Forget it!"

Chen Yi stood up, "Pet it is then, let's just focus on solving the current matter first!"

Just then, the door to the Secret Realm was pushed open.

Zhao Zhao skipped in.

"I'm back!"

She seemed to be in a good mood, the smile on her face sweet; she was like a completely different person compared to the impatient little girl from three days ago.

Chen Yi looked at her, muttering to himself.

What exactly did this girl discover?

Why did her attitude change so much?

However, he didn't ask.

Because even if he asked, he probably wouldn't get an answer.

"How's the learning going?"

Zhao Zhao leaned in and asked in the language of the Void Realm.

"Just about, we can communicate, read, and it's basically enough!"

"Wow, you learned really fast!"

Zhao Zhao smiled, "That's perfect, I have some intelligence to share with you!"

Chen Yi and Emilia exchanged glances.

"What intelligence?"

Zhao Zhao's expression became slightly more serious.

"Because of the rules here, we can't directly tell you what the specific answer is."

"However, we can point you in the right direction!"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, "What direction?"

Zhao Zhao walked over to a map hanging on the wall and pointed to a location on it.

"About thirty thousand kilometers to the west of here, there is a place called the Dream Dragon Corridor, where some anomalies have occurred recently."

"It requires the assistance of sentient beings possessing a world will to handle it."

"There are such people in the Void Realm, but most of them have already formed bonds with other existences, and trying to get their help is a very troublesome matter."

"If you are willing to go there yourself, perhaps you can find the answer you are looking for!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi and Emilia rolled their eyes in unison.

This kind of rhetoric again!

Go find it yourself again!

Why are all the people in the Void Realm the same?

Can't they just explain the situation straightforwardly?

But Chen Yi also knew that asking again would be useless.

Nolan wouldn't say, and Zhao Zhao wouldn't say; they surely had their reasons.

Besides, this was the enemy's stronghold after all; having someone willing to point the way was already good enough.

"Fine, we'll go take a look."

"I'll go with you!"

Chen Yi was taken aback.

"You're going too?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Zhao said matter-of-factly, "I'm your guide! What if you encounter other world malice on the way, and they see the two of you all alone and want to capture you?"

"With me following, they won't dare to mess around!"

Chen Yi and Emilia exchanged glances.

Was this girl actually kind-hearted, or did she just want to keep raising pets?

"Then thank you very much!"

"No need to thank me! Let's go!"

---

The three left Zhao Zhao's Secret Realm and flew west.

The sky of the Void Realm was always that soft lavender color, with no distinction between day and night, only eternal light.

Flying thirty thousand kilometers didn't actually take much time at their speed.

Soon, a spectacular scene appeared ahead.

It was a massive corridor.

While called a corridor, it was more like a continent floating in the Void Realm.

The continent was long and narrow, with steep mountains on both sides and a wide valley in the middle; the whole thing looked like a winding giant Dragon.

The surface of the continent was covered in colorful vegetation, as breathtakingly beautiful as the rest of the Void Realm.

But at this moment, that vegetation... was withering?

Chen Yi frowned.

He could feel a strange aura permeating this continent.

It was magic.

It was the magic unique to world malice like ZERO, carrying chaos and evil.

But this magic was even more intense and desperate than ZERO's aura!

"This is the place!"

Zhao Zhao pointed into the depths of the corridor, "That is the lair of the Dark Dragon King, Nidhogg!"

Chen Yi looked in the direction she was pointing.

In the center of that withered vegetation stood a massive black mountain.

At the peak of the mountain, a colossal figure was coiled.

Even from this far away, Chen Yi could feel the terrifying pressure radiating from that figure.

That was Dragon might!

Even when Chen Yi first saw Lin Mengxue transform into a Dragon, he had never felt such terrifying Dragon might!

"Let's go down and take a look!"

The three landed at the entrance of the corridor.

There, people were already waiting for them.

Five figures were hovering in mid-air.

They appeared to be middle-aged, both men and women, wearing various attire.

However, their auras were deep and peaceful, completely different from the manic malice of ZERO.

Seeing Chen Yi and the others land, one of the leading men stepped forward.

"Young Miss Zhao Zhao."

He bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

Zhao Zhao waved her hand, "Don't be so polite, I've brought the people, you talk amongst yourselves!"

Chen Yi also chimed in, "My name is Chen Yi, and she is Emilia, my wife."

Emilia also performed a curtsy.

The man also bowed in return, "I am Void Gazer, one of the guardians of this Dream Dragon Corridor! And these are Qinghe, this is Zixiao, this is Xuanshuang, and this is Chiyan—"
