CHAPTER 635: 635. RETURN

"Lu God really sent us to the Otherworld!"

Seven days later, over half of the first batch of more than ten thousand "transmigrators" had already returned.

They were bursting with excitement, half showing off, half confiding, recounting their experiences on the internet—

"I went to the Late Ming, where the text and language were the same, but there were Transcendent beings, and martial arts could produce inner breath."

"I went to the Three Kingdoms, not far from Zhuge Liang’s place, with a low danger level; as long as you didn’t act recklessly, you wouldn’t die."

"Lu Li must have lowered the difficulty; I went to Eagle Shooting and was right next to Guo Jing."

The journey was so magical that even a word or two stirred an irresistible itch in the hearts of the onlookers, filled with envy.

And immediately following, there were transmigrators with phones who uploaded videos and images they had taken!

Ancient towns one after another, countless historical figures, some of whom were so well-known they were recognized at a glance.

"There’s Guan Yu and Huang Rong, worlds of the Three Kingdoms and Eagle Shooting!"

"The one in the dragon robe, could that be Chongzhen? Dude really dared to film that."

Through modern technology, the three worlds were vividly presented to the public.

This was no virtual game, but a genuine, bona fide Otherworld!

The supposed transmigrators had truly embarked on Cross-border travel, going to another world, even another universe.

This was simply unbelievable! What impact would it have on human society? Blue Star was in an uproar in an instant!

And this journey through the Otherworld wasn’t just for tourism.

The brave die once, the timid a thousand times; the first batch to take the risk naturally reaped their rewards.

Some, too excited, began to show off online:

"I exchanged a lighter for some medicinal materials, and got a notification from the system saying I could trade these for 10 Points!"

"I saw a Jade Seal, the system offered 30 Points, so I traded my own gold chain for it. Bought the ticket back for 20 Points, activated ’Concentrating’ for 10, juicy~"

"In the Extraordinary World, treasures are everywhere; as long as you keep stable and don’t go wild, you’re sure to make a good haul."

Restless with envy as they watched others prosper, those who had qualified but were too worried about safety to go now regretted deeply, beating their chests and stomping their feet.

But at this time, those boasting were mere ragtag adventurers, not worth mentioning.

The thoughtful ones turned their attention to Hu Yong’s social media, anticipating this professional’s profound insights.

Hu Yong, keen to maintain his reputation, didn’t disappoint, and soon updated an article titled "An Otherworld Transmigration Guide."

"Firstly, keep a low profile at the start. You can take 20 kilograms of personal belongings across the border; make sure to prepare everyday clothing of that world to avoid drawing unwanted attention."

"Secondly, don’t carelessly enter into conflict with the natives. They are very clever and have complex social relationships; wanton killing will leave you with nowhere to turn, plus you don’t get Points for killing them."

"Thirdly, the Cultivation Techniques and treasures of the Otherworld are trash, with the strongest merely in the Blood Exchange phase, not even close to Lu Li’s system, and there’s no Points efficiency, so make sure to exchange as much as you can for Points."

"Finally, a strong word of caution—be wary of fellow travelers! When countrymen meet, watch out for a stab in the back! Some people have really poor character!"

This statement was heavy with resentment, suggesting that something unpleasant had occurred.

Hu Yong had an entire team; the only thing that could get to him was...

Sure enough, half an hour later, another prominent team leader "Nong Guanghai" also updated his social media.

The beginning of his experience shared many similarities, but it was at the end where he stated:

"Transmigration is no game, but a competition, inevitably accompanied by killing and bloodshed. If you can’t understand this, you’re better off not participating."

With these words, the situation was pretty much clear at a glance.

Hu Yong and Nong Guanghai had both been to the "Three Kingdoms" World and had undoubtedly had a falling out.

The "Three Kingdoms" world is famous, and it’s no surprise that many people headed there. It wasn’t long before someone who knew the full story came out and spilled the beans:

Hu Yong had thrown in his lot with Liu Bei, while Nong Guanghai had chosen Cao Cao.

It was precisely the time of "green plums and wine," and there should have been no issues, but Nong Guanghai deliberately led the Cao Army to ambush and kill Hu Yong’s group.

Hu Yong suffered a huge loss. Not only was he seriously injured, but he also lost two of his trusted subordinates and had made an enemy for life.

At this point, both of their social media feeds were filled with comments from their followers cursing and vowing to kill the other party.

While the crowd enjoyed the drama unfolding before them, the person who had leaked the information came forward again, commenting in a personal post with a sigh:

"If it hadn’t been for the two sides taking things too far, we wouldn’t have had to come back so soon. We could’ve played the long game and caught a bigger fish."

"The National Team has not returned because they’ve set their sights on the Imperial Jade Seal, a treasure worth 30,000 points as priced by the system."

These words shocked everyone! The Imperial Jade Seal worth 30,000 points! And there’s still a National Team?

The first-time transmigrators must possess at least the Bone Forging Realm of cultivation.

Such talents have naturally been nurtured in plenty by the authorities, with National Teams present in three worlds.

Lu Li’s harvest this time was substantial, in part because of this reason.

Online, the curiosity of the onlookers was completely piqued.

"During the ’green plums and wine,’ was the Imperial Jade Seal with Yuan Shu? It’s worthy of the National Team to make such a grand move!"

"Hu Yong and Nong Guanghai are just engaging in petty fights after all. If you want to achieve great things, you have to look to the National Team!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement, while Hu Yong, Nong Guanghai and the others kept a close watch on the "leaker."

This person deliberately revealed the movements of the National Team, clearly aiming to fish in troubled waters.

And their goal had been achieved. Hu Yong, Nong Guanghai, and many other transmigrators from the Three Kingdoms world had shifted their attention toward the Imperial Jade Seal.

30,000 points were enough for someone to break through the Marrow Cleansing phase and also gain an extra 20% on their "Blood Exchange" experience bar.

Faced with such a huge temptation, could the so-called National Team maintain control of the situation?

Especially those who had been fighting overseas for a long time, they must have ruthless methods to maintain order!

It seemed that an internal struggle was imminent, but at this moment, the struggle began with someone else.

Above in the vault of heaven, where the "Fierce Star" hung, suddenly a series of bright points flashed.

Twenty blue orbs, like a meteor shower, plummeted rapidly into Blue Star’s atmosphere.

These were "plasma torpedoes" launched from Fierce Star, with the target located at 50 degrees north latitude, which was none other than the capital of The Sun Never Sets Kingdom—Fog City.

The Westerners’ war had escalated to full intensity, with all the weapons excavated from Fierce Star being brought into play.

This barrage of plasma torpedoes effortlessly wiped "Fog City" off the map, leaving behind only an irregular crater.

And "Fog City" retaliated immediately, launching their plasma torpedoes from Fierce Star, blowing their old friend’s house sky high.

This move attracted the attention of the onlookers and the transmigrators alike.

"So much has happened in the few days we’ve been away..."

Some transmigrators who were late to catch up only just found the reports on the series of events involving the "Alien Pilgrims."

"Over a million warships came specially to build a statue for Lu God and bow their heads—it’s quite the sight."

"The Westerners have lost it, fighting among themselves, serves them right."

"Some want to submit their loyalty to Lu God."

Ordinary spectators only saw the surface of the commotion, but there were some who understood the intentions of the Latin countries.

This battle was indeed meant to be seen by Lu Li, or rather, it was to please a deity!

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
