181: Entering the Rainbow Bridge, my cheat program is now online.
At 7:00 AM, the first ray of sunlight peeked through the gap in the curtains, playfully dancing on the head of the bed.
Qin Lang was woken up by a rustling sound.
He opened his sleepy eyes and met a pair of sparkling, watery eyes.
Su Muyue was lying on his chest, gently teasing the tip of his nose with the ends of her hair, a mischievous smirk on her face.
Meanwhile, the usually clingy Xiao Bai had sensibly retreated to the corner of the bed, yielding the center spot to the young couple.
"Awake?"
Su Muyue's voice was soft and sweet, like a piece of melting milk candy.
Qin Lang felt a surge of morning heat instantly rise; with a reach of his large hand, he pulled that warm, soft body into his arms.
"Teasing me so early in the morning, are you asking for it?"
His voice carried the raspy quality of someone who had just woken up, full of magnetic charm.
Su Muyue's face turned red, but she didn't dodge; instead, she boldly pecked him on the lips.
"Who told you to be so well-behaved last night..."
She bit her lip, a flash of shyness in her eyes, yet they also held a hint of determination.
"Um... I also know you've been holding back quite hard."
"Although before the Sixth Rank, for the sake of a perfect Foundation Establishment, I can't do that..."
By this point, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and her entire face was as red as a ripe apple.
"But... but if you're really feeling uncomfortable..."
"I can use my hands... or..."
She was too embarrassed to say the rest, but her small hands moved downward.
Qin Lang's heart trembled violently.
Looking at the girl in his arms, her face flushed with shame yet trying so hard to overcome her shyness to please him, a surge of indescribable tender affection welled up in his heart.
This was just too cute.
"Silly girl."
Qin Lang held her small hand and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"We have a long time ahead of us, there's no rush for this moment."
The two of them spent some more time cuddling and playing around in bed until a deafening cheer from outside broke the cozy atmosphere.
"The Rainbow Bridge is open!"
The entire Olympus Academy instantly boiled with excitement.
Qin Lang walked to the window and looked at the streaks of light soaring into the sky, his gaze gradually becoming sharp.
Although the underground Broodmother hadn't been found yet, now that those Eighth Rank powerhouses had returned to take charge, the cleanup was only a matter of time.
The current priority was to increase his strength.
"Pack up, we're heading out too."
Qin Lang turned around and spoke to Su Muyue, who was tidying her clothes.
"Older Female Cousin Xue'er just sent a message; she and Grandpa are in Tiandu, so we'll split up for now."
"Don't worry, the trump cards I gave her are enough to keep her safe."
Half an hour later.
The two of them boarded the academy's exclusive giant flying boat.
With the roar of engines, the massive flying boat slowly ascended, breaking through the atmosphere and sailing into the vastness of deep space.
This was the first time Su Muyue had truly entered space.
She leaned against the porthole, looking at the magnificent sight outside, her small mouth hanging open in surprise.
Along the way, towering space fortresses could be seen, spanning the star systems like steel beasts.
And further away, those once-arrogant Hive Motherships had mostly turned into floating wreckage.
Clearly, this was the handiwork of the Eighth Rank powerhouses after their return.
The Zerg offensive had been significantly weakened.
"Look! That's..."
Su Muyue suddenly pointed ahead and let out an exclamation.
Following her finger, a building so grand it was breathtaking appeared at the end of their vision.
It was a giant ring city floating in the Void Realm!
With an outer diameter exceeding a hundred kilometers, it shimmered with a silver-white metallic luster like a divine crown, quietly suspended at the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge.
Xuanji City!
The command center for humanity in space and the bridgehead connecting the Deep Space Ruins.
The students on the flying boat all gasped in unison, completely shocked by this miraculous creation.
Around Xuanji City, several equally massive flying vessels were also moored.
There was the "Noah's Ark" built by the Western forces, as well as the "Hall of Gods," "Brahma," "Yamato" from other powers... all nations paying homage.
This silently displayed the Eastern Alliance's transcendent status in this expedition.
The flying boat slowly landed on a massive platform.
This was the Yanhuang Alliance's exclusive area, corresponding to the two rainbow paths solely occupied by the East; it was already crowded with people.
Just after disembarking.
"Qin Lang!"
Cheng Ye, Jin Yao, and other acquaintances came forward to greet them, excited smiles on their faces.
"How about it? Want to form a team? With our combined strength, we'll definitely be unstoppable in the Spirit Realm!"
Qin Lang smiled and shook his head, politely declining.
"No, I want to move alone with Muyue first."
Although Cheng Ye and the others were a bit disappointed, they expressed their understanding; after all, the couple wanted their private time, and they didn't want to be third wheels.
Just then.
A venomous gaze stabbed into Qin Lang's back like a poisonous snake.
Qin Lang looked back and met He Qian's eyes in the crowd, which were filled with hatred.
Since being crippled by Qin Lang, this former He family Genius had completely become a useless person, forced to sit in a wheelchair with a terrifyingly sinister gaze.
Beside him stood an old man with a profound aura.
The He family Old Ancestor, a Fifth Rank Late Stage powerhouse, He Kun.
"Grandpa! It's him! He's the one who ruined me!"
He Qian gripped the armrests tightly, his nails nearly snapping, as he growled in a hoarse voice.
"Kill him! You must kill him!"
He Kun glanced coldly at Qin Lang, his gaze devoid of any warmth, as if looking at a dead man.
But he did not make a move.
"Shut up."
He Kun pressed down on his grandson's shoulder, his voice low and authoritative.
"This is Xuanji City; private fighting is forbidden."
"Furthermore, entering the ruins nodes to find Opportunities and increase strength is the primary task."
"As for this Qin Lang..."
A cold light flashed in He Kun's eyes.
"If there's a chance, we'll just eliminate him in passing. There's no need to rush."
Qin Lang indifferently withdrew his gaze, not taking this grandfather-grandson duo to heart at all.
He was no longer the soft persimmon he once was, someone anyone could squeeze.
If the He family really dared to act inside, he wouldn't mind leaving them all there together.
At this moment, countless light screens lit up above the platform.
They were massive QR codes and energy orbs.
By extending one's Mental Energy into them, one could obtain detailed information on the first hundred explored Spirit Realms.
*Beep beep.*
Su Muyue's bracelet vibrated.
"Hubby, a message from my cousin."
She glanced at the screen, her expression somewhat excited.
"She and Grandpa are planning to go to Spirit Realm No. 18, the 'Lightning Spirit Realm'!"
Qin Lang's heart stirred.
Lightning Spirit Realm?
That place was rich in lightning-attribute spiritual items, making it a Holy Land for Martial Artists who Cultivate lightning techniques, but it was also extremely dangerous.
"In that case, we'll go there too."
Qin Lang made a prompt decision.
On one hand, it was to support Shangguan Xue and her father; on the other hand, he also wanted to try his luck and see if he could find any treasures.
The two of them took out their passes and selected Spirit Realm No. 18 on the massive light screen.
"Are you ready?"
Qin Lang gripped Su Muyue's small hand tightly.
"Mhm!"
Su Muyue nodded heavily, her eyes full of expectation.
The next second.
The two of them stepped into that brilliant seven-colored Rainbow Bridge simultaneously.
*Buzz!*
A dizzying sensation of weightlessness hit them.
Their vision was wrapped in endless radiant glow, and everything around them receded at high speed, as if they were traveling through a space-time tunnel.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Their feet suddenly felt heavy.
That sense of grounding returned, but with it came an incredibly heavy pressure.
"Such heavy gravity!"
Qin Lang's brow furrowed slightly.
The gravity here was at least three times that of the Blue Star!
If it weren't for being an Evolver, an ordinary person coming here would probably have their internal organs crushed instantly.
He opened his eyes.
Before him was a dim and oppressive world.
The sky was completely shrouded by thick, lead-gray thunderclouds, blocking out the sun.
The air was filled with a strong burnt smell and violent electric ions.
"Boom!"
A thick bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, striking a nearby hilltop and shattering the boulders.
That kind of power was enough to threaten a Second Rank Evolver.
"Is this the Lightning Spirit Realm?"
Su Muyue shrunk her neck slightly in nervousness, looking around.
"Where are my cousin and the others? Why don't I see anyone?"
"It should be a random teleportation; the locations are different," Qin Lang comforted, scanning the desolate land.
Everywhere was scorched earth and strange rocks; there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
"Will there... really be Heaven And Earth Treasures here?"
Su Muyue felt a bit doubtful.
Qin Lang didn't speak.
He took a deep breath, and within his eyes, golden flowing light quietly circulated.
Eye of the Heavenly Dao, open!
*Buzz!*
His vision instantly soared; the originally dim world underwent a world-shaking change in his eyes.
Layers of mist were peeled away; terrain, traps, and even energy fluctuations hidden underground were all laid bare.
And at the end of his vision, several "treasure points" emitting dazzling light were lying quietly on the map.
"It really works!"
The corner of Qin Lang's mouth curled into an ecstatic arc.
Although the range was limited, this was undoubtedly a Heaven-Defying cheat for finding Opportunities!
