"Brother Chen Shu, what's wrong?"
Wang Qingxue looked over, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and an inexplicable unease stirred within her heart.
In her world, anything that could make Chen Shu's face drain of color was bound to be a cataclysmic event.
"..."
Chen Shu remained silent, staring blankly into the distance.
As the spatial mist dissipated completely, the scenery of another alternate space became visible.
But in the distance were not the islands he had imagined, but mountains covered in snow...
Chen Shu took a deep breath and said, "Qingxue, over there, is that the alternate space you came from?"
"Uh... no..."
Wang Qingxue shook her head and said, "At that time, we were in an island-type alternate space."
Chen Shu's expression was grave, still unable to believe his own suspicions.
"Let's go, let's take another look!"
With that, the three of them teleported directly onto the distant ice mountains.
They locked onto a direction and soon traversed endless ice mountains, reaching the end of this alternate space.
At the edge, mist was spreading, but it was extremely thin, as if it would disappear at any moment.
Chen Shu and the other two easily passed through the mist and arrived in a windswept plain.
Clearly, this was another unfamiliar alternate space!
"This is bad, this is bad..."
Chen Shu's unease intensified instantly. He exclaimed, "Let's hurry back and report to Old Master!"
He no longer held back, even taking out a teleportation potion and returning directly to Blue Star.
Wang Qingxue asked, "Brother Chen Shu, what exactly happened?"
"The mists of all four alternate spaces have undergone changes, either disappearing or in the process of disappearing."
Chen Shu's face was solemn, and he said,
"This is no coincidence! The great fierce beasts within the mist... are likely all about to emerge!"
At these words, the expressions of the other two changed drastically, their eyes filled with terror.
Back then, there were probably only about a dozen Beast Emperors on Blue Star, but they had already pushed humanity to a desperate retreat.
Now, with all the great fierce beasts from the mists emerging, the resulting disaster would be unimaginable.
In just a few minutes,
Chen Shu had already entered Dragon Abyss City.
As for Wang Qingxue and the other, they were sent to Nanjiang City, as their strength was not high and knowing too much would be of no use.
"Old Master, something big has happened!"
Chen Shu arrived at the pavilion and pushed open the door in a hurry.
"Boy, can't you be a bit calmer like me?"
The Old Master was seated in the pavilion, glancing at the flustered Chen Shu.
"Old Master, what time is it, and you're still being calm about this?!"
Chen Shu said rapidly, "They're gone! All the mists are gone!"
"Hmm?!"
The Old Master suddenly stood up, his calm shattered, and said, "Impossible!"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Chen Shu's face was serious as he said, "Yesterday, I went to an alternate space to rescue someone..."
"You can still rescue people?"
"..."
Chen Shu quickly explained, "She's my personally cultivated successor. If I didn't save her, wouldn't the ruthless bandit's legacy be broken?"
"No wonder."
"No, Old Man, can you focus on the main point?"
Chen Shu patted his forehead, almost being led astray by the other party.
"I went to four alternate spaces just now, and the mists in the middle are all gone. It's definitely not a coincidence!"
"Four alternate spaces? Let's go and see!"
The Old Master frowned, his gaze becoming somewhat serious.
Although Chen Shu was a bit unreliable, he wouldn't joke about serious matters.
"Go to the end of Dragon Abyss?"
"Too far, forget it. Even with your spatial divine skill, you can't reach it!"
The Old Master shook his head and said, "Let's go to a nearby alternate space!"
The two of them rushed out of Dragon Abyss City, leaving behind a bewildered Passerby Elder.
However, even though the Old Master had left, he still left his contracted spirit to guard Dragon Abyss, to prevent any accidents.
Soon, using teleportation, the two arrived at the border of a nightmare-level alternate space.
Mists still permeated the surroundings, and there seemed to be no abnormality.
"Hmm? The mist here is still here?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Could it be that the four alternate spaces were just a coincidence?
"Something's not right..."
The Old Master's gaze was deep, as if he had sensed something.
The Dark King beside him suddenly appeared, also looking at the mist before them, his indifferent eyes showing a hint of surprise.
In the next second, boundless shadows emanated from the Dark King, like a bottomless maw, actually devouring the mist.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
A surprising scene occurred.
The mist was being crazily absorbed by the Dark King, and it gradually became thinner.
"The mist has been transferred..."
The Old Master's eyes shone with wisdom, and he muttered to himself, "Indeed, something big is about to happen."
"Transferred? Not disappeared?"
Chen Shu asked with confusion.
"The power of the mist is finite, and it will eventually disappear, but definitely not now!"
The Old Master said,
"The mist before us has been transferred elsewhere by creatures using special means, and what remains is merely an empty shell."
"An empty shell?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, a hint of realization in his eyes.
No wonder the mist had lost its restraining power, and even Wang Qingxue and the others could break through.
"So, the great fierce beasts are still trapped?"
He breathed a sigh of relief, at least the worst-case scenario had not occurred.
"Yes, perhaps a few great fierce beasts with special talents have escaped, but not all of them."
The Old Master sighed and continued, "But the situation is still not optimistic."
"Why? The great fierce beasts haven't appeared, what do we have to be afraid of?"
"You're thinking too simply..."
The Old Master glanced at him and said, "Do you know who transferred the mist away?"
"You?"
Chen Shu ventured a guess.
"..."
The Old Master fell silent, thinking, *Do you think everyone is as crazy as you?*
"Once the mist is transferred, the barriers of the alternate spaces disappear. Who benefits the most?"
"The Beast Emperors!"
Chen Shu's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized.
"Your guess is correct, they are indeed carrying out a plan, a plan that is not good for all humanity!"
"No way, they can control the mist?"
Chen Shu felt a sense of unease and immediately understood the grim implications.
"They couldn't before, but now that most of the mist's power has dissipated, it's still possible for them to do so."
The Old Master sighed. In fact, even he hadn't considered this.
After all, he had stayed in Dragon Abyss City for a long time, and he couldn't see the mist at its end, so he hadn't thought this far.
Most importantly, the origin of the mist was too great,
This also made him firmly believe that fierce beasts absolutely could not influence the mist!
But unfortunately, before the passage of long time, all power decays...
