Chapter 308 A New Journey, The Sea of No Points, A Cataclysmic Beginning
Xiao Yun felt as if he were dead, having fallen into the legendary endless slumber.
It's as if they're still alive, but trapped in a seemingly endless slumber.
In the soul's vision, the darkness and nothingness seem endless, and time and consciousness stand still.
Up to the endless heights, clusters of chaotic lights flickered, and indistinct, noisy sounds echoed in my ears.
It's like that neighbor dancing at home at three in the morning.
"Tsk—it's so noisy."
Xiao Yun frowned slightly, his eyelids trembled a few times, then he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and angrily shouted, "Can you be quiet for a second? You're disturbing—uh?"
The words caught in Xiao Yun's throat, and he stood there stunned.
In sight, there was only the night sky dotted with a crescent moon and stars, and no random flashes of light.
In a daze, consciousness slowly returned to reality, and the last noise disappeared.
"Did you sleep too long and start hallucinating?"
Xiao Yun sighed helplessly, instinctively trying to shake his head, but found he couldn't.
My body felt like a cold stone, completely out of my control.
If Xiao Yun couldn't still sense the existence of his body, he would have thought he had become some kind of spiritual entity.
"The situation is not good."
Xiao Yun quickly made a judgment.
Once he calmed down and carefully observed his current situation, Xiao Yun realized that being unable to move his body seemed to be the best news.
"My body has completely degenerated to the level of an ordinary person, and my soul—it seems to have shattered."
"These are all aftereffects of forcibly fusing [life and death]. As expected, with my physical body and soul at the time, I simply couldn't bear the power of this level."
Fortunately, it was a matter of life and death, as it offered a chance of survival. If it were any other power, Xiao Yun felt he would be dead by now.
"So I guess I'm pretty lucky, at least I'm still alive."
Xiao Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh, but his mood wasn't too low.
This means talent sealing, dual-class ability sealing, and the [Dragon Heart] operating at minimum power, as well as the [Mithril Sword].
It has fallen into a deep slumber, and both crowns are unusable.
Charmander, King Crow, and the Rebellious Son are temporarily separated because they were not collected into the follower space in time.
The only insect that stayed by his side also fell into a deep sleep, presumably from exhaustion in trying to keep himself alive.
That's it.
"It's a little worse than when I was doubly cursed last time, but at least I'm alive."
Xiao Yun often courts death, and his physical body has been shattered and rebuilt many times, so he's gotten used to it.
It's just a little hardship; starting over is his forte.
However, compared to the current situation, my own situation is a relatively minor problem.
Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel somewhat bewildered.
The sparse jungle in his sight was so unfamiliar it chilled him to the bone. A salty, fishy wind blew in, and the smells of the world made Xiao Yun feel like a stranger.
At the edge of the horizon, the sea under the night sky resembles a deep, dark gem. White waves, like a dividing line between heaven and earth, approach from afar and then crash against the rocks, shattering into pieces.
Terrible!
"This time, I was reborn not in the ideal country, nor even in the ancient capital region."
Xiao Yun's expression instantly turned serious, and he quickly looked up to carefully observe the starry sky.
He quickly let out a long breath: "Thank goodness, the starry sky is still there, and I'm still in Eternal Terra."
If you were to be transported to an unfamiliar world, that would truly be a disastrous start.
The current start has been fairly average.
At least, the system is still running.
"The system panel can be opened normally, all functions can be used normally, and the forecast system can also run normally, which is already very good."
"
Xiao Yun nodded, and with a thought, a pair of glasses appeared in his hand.
This is a pair of [detection glasses] obtained from killing an enemy. It's long since outdated and is gathering dust in a corner of Xiao Yun's system inventory.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun was quite frugal and didn't scrap it. Also, the [Detection Glasses] were a rare piece of technological equipment with relatively flexible usage conditions, which was just right to solve the immediate problem.
While sorting out the situation, Xiao Yun had also adapted to this body and was able to perform some simple movements.
He took a deep breath, lowered his head forcefully, and met the trembling hand that approached. It took him a great deal of effort to put on the [detection glasses].
With the detection function activated, basic information about the area within sight appears before your eyes.
"The detection effect is linked to the field of vision and is greatly affected by the terrain. If it is a dense forest, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"However, it's essentially an external mental vision, which is a godsend for my current situation."
At the very least, Xiao Yun can assess the level of danger in his current environment.
Xiao Yun twisted around on the ground as if he were having a seizure, surveying his surroundings. Once he found it to be relatively safe, he relaxed.
Moving to a rock, Xiao Yun leaned against it, took a breath, and finally had time to carefully examine the system panel.
He originally wanted to roughly estimate how long he had been unconscious by checking the number of settlement notifications.
But after taking a look, he was disappointed.
There was no settlement notification, only a series of meaningless gibberish.
"Could it be that my state and the hallucination I experienced while I was unconscious were too unusual?"
Xiao Yun curled his lip and muttered, "This garbage system is as useless as ever."
As if they had heard his words, a crisp system notification sound suddenly rang in their ears.
[Ding! System anomaly detected, currently under repair ————]
[Fixed, welcome back, player Xiao Yun!]
[Due to unknown reasons, the player experienced multiple instances of abnormal settlements, resulting in the loss of normally received rewards that cannot be recovered.]
To protect players' survival rights, 80% of the scores from any abnormal settlements will be refunded and carried over to the next settlement.
After reading the series of system prompts, Xiao Yun immediately smiled: "Oh, my dear system, you are truly the best and most conscientious system in the world!"
Xiao Yun decided that from now on, he would fight anyone who said the system was trash!
But that wasn't the end of it; Brother Tongzi spoke up again.
[Player has missed important information for unknown reasons and is being retransmitted —]
[Ding! Server-wide announcement has been sent: The Sea of No Points is now open!]
Dramatic shifts in life and death have triggered a new era of change in the world.
When the crimson flame of life ignited from the depths of the earth, the harsh winter of death melted away, transforming into an endless sea of life. Above the boundless sky, the spiritual moon resonated with it, stirring up terrifying tides. The primordial continental plates shattered into pieces amidst the clamor of the sea of life.
This is not a disaster, but a brand new beginning!
[Special Effect - Block Prosperity: Each block adrift in the Sea of No Points will nurture unique resources, and some special blocks may even give birth to entirely new life!]
[Special Effect - One-Person Guild: Single-player guilds are now available. From this day forward, everyone can create their own guild unconditionally and recruit members at will.]
[Special Effect - Fame Across the World: The reputation system is now available. From an unknown nobody to a world-renowned figure, everyone has the potential to become a legend in the endless ocean. Please strive to improve your various reputations, which may unlock various special events.]
[Special Effect - Realm of Rebirth: Within the Spiritual Moon lies a new world. This world is unstable, and its entrances and exits will randomly appear in various locations. This new world contains endless possibilities; you may ascend to the heavens here, or you may perish without a trace.]
[Special Effect - Uncertain Moon: Because the spiritual moon is unstable, the effects of the full moon night are not fixed during the existence of the Sea of No Division. They will change with the world situation. Whether it is chaos and madness or peace and tranquility depends on everyone's decision.]
[Special Effect - Monthly Settlement: Settlement cycle adjusted to one month]
[Special Effect - New World Racing (Unlocked as the world progresses)]
[Special Effect - Mystery of the Shadows (Unlocked as the world progresses)]
[Special Effect - World Administrator (Unlocked via special method)]

"Life and death changes —"
Xiao Yun's expression was somewhat complicated, and he could not calm down for a long time.
My own actions actually led to a version update?
After a long silence, he suddenly chuckled: "How could that be? According to Gu Shen, this is a predetermined world trajectory. Even without me, the world would have turned out this way."
He at most played a role in pushing things forward and may have changed some details, but the course of the world did not change as a result.
After calming down, Xiao Yun began to sort through the other information.
Is the Sea of No Division—the Moon of Spirituality—the Spirit Realm?
"A separate block, a single-player guild, new life—is this hinting at the birth of new intelligent life forms besides wild monsters?"
Xiao Yun's eyes flashed as he carefully examined the information and his conjectures several times.
Then, he let out a long breath, raised his hand with trembling hands, and rubbed his temples.
"With lower attributes, I still find it a bit difficult to handle high-intensity thinking."
After resting for a while, my mind cleared up again.
This time, he didn't delve deeper into the secrets of the new version, but focused on the present.
"Right now, I'm just an ordinary person living on the streets. I'll focus on the present and recover slowly before exploring those hidden things."
After setting the main storyline, Xiao Yun quickly sorted out his thoughts: "Judging from the situation, the place I am currently in is a separate area floating in the Sea of No Points, and it may even be isolated from the world. Not to mention contacting the guild, it may be difficult to even encounter players."
"So, what I need to do now is, first, adapt to my body; second, explore this island area; and third, try to find other areas and contact other players."
While pondering, Xiao Yun silently organized all the resources at hand.
"I still have a lot of food in my backpack, enough to last me for half a month."
"There is still a lot of flesh and blood. Once it recovers slowly, I can try to use the blood sacrifice method to refine my body and gain some self-protection ability as soon as possible."
"I sat here for more than ten minutes and didn't find any creatures, only some small animals and snakes and insects, which means that this island area must be very small."
"Once you adapt to your body, you should be able to explore the entire area quickly, so you should consider entering the Sea of No Return as soon as possible."
Xiao Yun remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to the corner of the system inventory.
There, a small boat was faintly visible, surrounded by a blue breeze.
The [Wind Boat] is a reward for the shift between reality and illusion.
Xiao Yun had complained that the thing was useless, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
"This thing is like a mobile home, and it's perfect as a means of transportation to cross the Sea of No Return."
"Furthermore, I haven't claimed the rewards for killing the Demon Legendary last time, nor the rewards for the first Legendary kill."
"I'll collect it later and see if I can get anything useful, preferably a building. Those things don't have any usage conditions, and for me right now, they're better than high-level equipment and items."
After making up his mind, Xiao Yun opened the system panel.
However, instead of searching for the reward, he activated his own unique feature.
"When you arrive in a new place, how can you not check the forecast information? Maybe a big one will come out and I can get out of trouble immediately."
Xiao Yun left one message as a backup and refreshed the page with two messages.
The first message that appeared before Xiao Yun's eyes filled him with joy.
[Announcement 1: At the core of this block, a plant called "Twin Blossoms of Life" will mature in three days. The Twin Blossoms of Life consist of two flowers on the same plant. The living flower contains the power of life, which can heal injuries and strengthen the body. The spiritual flower contains the power of spirit, which can heal the soul and strengthen the spirit.]
[The Twin Flower of Life has specific requirements for consumption: it must be used in an environment where both life and death forces exist simultaneously, and at dawn or dusk when the sky changes color; the effects vary depending on the time of day.]
"Good stuff must be mine!"
Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, determined to obtain this rare flower.
The dual treatment effect, which can at least restore me to the level of the ninth sequence, is very important.
"Three days. It seems we'll have to stay here a few more days."
Xiao Yun used the stones to support himself as he stood up, frantically moving his body, wanting to adapt quickly and first scout out the way.
Just as his gaze fell upon the second message, Xiao Yun froze, his face suddenly darkening.
Because it was a warning sign of danger.
[Announcement 2: The Blood Shark Raiders are about to arrive in this area. Their main business is human trafficking and intelligence trading — please be careful!]
[Arrival countdown: 3 —]
"Three minutes? Then I need to find a place to hide."
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to take action, another pop-up window appeared on his retina.
【2————】
【1————The Blood Shark Raiders have arrived!】
Xiao Yun stood there, stunned.
The sounds of ships docking and a few cheers like wolf howls drifted on the sea breeze.
"Heh heh, new island! You little brats, scout it out thoroughly! Nothing alive and able to walk, not even the monkeys!"
Cheers erupted as the professional's mental energy rapidly spread, instantly covering the small island.
On the almost deserted island, Xiao Yun's life force shone as brightly as a lamp in the darkness.
"Hey guys, the goods have arrived!"
One person laughed loudly and approached, following the scent.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads, forming a tacit understanding to surround them, and quickly approached.
Soon, they met Xiao Yun's gaze.
With a flick of the [Detection Glasses], information about the Blood Shark Raiders and their group appeared before their eyes.
"One eighth sequence, nine ninth sequences."
In the past, none of these people would have been enough for him to burn.
But now, they seem like insurmountable city walls.
Xiao Yun's face instantly darkened.
On the other side, a group of bandits were staring intently at him, their eyes filled with delight.
"Wow, Brother Hughes, we've struck gold this time! Tsk tsk tsk, look at that face, look at that figure, it's sure to sell for a lot of resources!"
The burly man beside him glared at him, then turned to look at Xiao Yun as if he were a priceless treasure: "Sell my ass! This is top-quality! Our boss will definitely love it. Brothers, hurry up and get him before he gets away!"
#!
Xiao Yun cursed loudly, his lips twitching wildly.
Is it too late to reopen now?
