Chapter 620: Chapter 619: The Connection Point of Truth and Falsehood

“Aren’t you from the Five-layered World?”

Lu Zixun looked up at An Xiao with eyes full of confusion.

“…”

An Xiao’s face showed a speechless expression.

After a long while, and having eaten a piece of a potato chip, she continued to say, “I am indeed from the Five-layered World, but I’m not in the Five-layered World right now!”

Alright, still better look for the portal.

If Lu Zixun had the ability to enter other worlds from the Abyss, there would be no need to worry.

“These portals are generally hidden in the Void. To find them, luck is still the most important factor…”

Hearing the word ‘luck,’ Lu Zixun’s heart already felt half-cold.

After all, as an unlucky guy, betting on luck was even worse than thinking about how to improve your strength.

“The variables within the Abyss are just too many. The entire world is like a jigsaw puzzle. Even the Third-order World is connected, but the Abyss still exists. If you’re lucky, you might find an entrance and exit portal, but if you’re not…”

At this point, An Xiao made a throat-slitting gesture, indicating that it was akin to suicide.

“So, you mean to say, trying to connect the Five-layered World through the connection point is unreliable?” Lu Zixun summarized after hearing An Xiao’s explanation.

An Xiao nodded, then shook her head, adopting an ambiguous attitude.

Lu Zixun took a sharp inhale, what was this supposed to mean?

“It’s not that it’s unreliable; there’s a chance, but it’s small. Just like buying a Crimson Ticket in the Crimson Land and winning the lottery.”

He had thought An Xiao would propose a reliable method, but instead, she simply wanted to correct Lu Zixun’s statement.

However…

Lu Zixun glanced at An Xiao sideways. Why do you know so much about the odds of winning a Crimson Ticket?!

Massaging his throbbing temples and feeling an intense headache, Lu Zixun muttered, “So, the Five-layered World can’t be connected, so we can only destroy the connection points.”

Since it was impossible for the Five-layered World to come over, the solution was simpler.

Just destroy the connection point, and the Four-layer World would take care of the rest.

However, Lu Zixun estimated that this approach wouldn’t work. Otherwise, Yun Yanming would not have sought him out.

An Xiao shook her head and stated indifferently, “You can’t do it.”

“The connection point is protected by the Void. Even Extraordinary Power cannot easily destroy it. When a force capable of destroying a connection point emerges, the Abyss will swallow the entire region surrounding the connection point.”

Pausing for a moment, An Xiao stared at Lu Zixun and said, “If you’re going to do that, let me know in advance. I don’t want to die with you.”

“…”

A twitch formed at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Zixun looked at An Xiao and was at a loss for words.

So, in An Xiao’s eyes, he was a death-defying troublemaker, the kind that liked to court death for fun.

Since there was no way to connect the Five-layered World or to destroy the connection point,

This matter was no longer something that Lu Zixun could resolve; he simply had to wait for the Four-layer World to connect.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to give up and leave this thorny issue to Order, An Xiao suddenly said, “You remember the place where you first saw me, right?”

The first time he saw An Xiao? Lu Zixun thought about it; it was in the projection of the Four-layer World at the Trial Land. Back then, An Xiao was a non-talkative, withdrawn child.

Seeing Lu Zixun nod, An Xiao continued, “Since that tower can project the Four-layer World, it should know where the portal to the Five-layered World is. Just input the coordinates directly, and let the connection point attract the world.”

Looking at An Xiao, Lu Zixun sighed, “That’s a tower, an inanimate object; it can’t talk.”

“Is that so?”

With a smile that was not a smile, An Xiao arched an eyebrow and said nothing further.

An Xiao’s attitude made Lu Zixun narrow his eyes; he thought of something.

Perhaps the Trial Tower wasn’t a mere object.

In the relics left by the Master of Time, Lu Zixun had seen living beings within the Trial Tower.

Maybe the Trial Tower indeed knew something.

However, the presence of the Statue of Justice in the Trial Tower made Lu Zixun reluctant to visit in person. It seemed he had to leave the problem to Order.

Thinking this, a realization dawned on Lu Zixun. These problems were easy to solve; just leave them to Order.

“Do you have anything else?”

After reaching out to Qing Yuanyang and asking for his help in searching for the portal to the Five-layered World, Lu Zixun hung up the phone.

Looking at An Xiao, who was still in his room eating his snacks, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but ask.

“I’ve got nowhere else to go anyway, so I’ll just stay here and wait for news.”

An Xiao waved her hand and continued watching the TV series, “My father is the one in control of the Five-layered World. When the time comes, the Demon Country won’t need to stay in this small place anymore, right?”

Remembering that An Xiao was an Elf—and this race seemed to have an unspeakable fondness for the Demon Clan, as well as…

After becoming more familiar, Lu Zixun just went along with An Xiao. After all, a bit of snacks wasn’t going to break the bank.

“Dammit! An Xiao! Did you eat all my Crispy Rice?!”

After a while, sounds of chaos echoed from the office, the reason unknown.

As told by members passing through the Demon Country, Lord Xun seemed to have gotten angry over something called Cui Xiangmi.

Upon hearing this news, Ge Changming thought for a moment and sent people to search for Cui Xiangmi, something he had never heard of.

…

Yun Yanming sent the precise location of the connection point through a dream.

Opening his eyes, Lu Zixun was filled with confusion.

Because the location Yun Yanming gave was entirely different from the place Liao Fan had gone to.

After writing down both locations for comparison, Lu Zixun realized they were worlds apart, and it simply wasn’t possible that they referred to the same place.

This was bizarre…

Lu Zixun stroked his chin. Liao Fan would not betray him.

And with Shadow’s testimony, the location of the connection point should be correct.

Since Yun Yanming was looking to cooperate, he certainly wouldn’t give Lu Zixun a fake location for the connection point, as it would be meaningless.

So, one of these two connection points was definitely a fake.

Taking a deep breath and with a thoughtful look in his eyes, Lu Zixun decided to go and check it out himself.

After all, a connection point hidden in the Void wasn’t something that could be easily fabricated.

Liao Fan, having received orders to stand down, continued as usual, wearing a lab coat and heading towards the research lab.

However, what Liao Fan did not realize was that the number of people monitoring him this time was many times more than usual—essentially a full-surveillance situation.

When he began dissecting Deep Diver corpses near the connection point, Liao Fan, who was used to handling such tasks, just made a move that induced some changes in the corpse, then remembered Lu Zixun’s instructions.

His body paused for a moment, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
