"A planet soaking in the sea like an island? How is that possible!" the knight murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty," the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess approached Li Changzhou, "Mountain Sea City should have a barrier like a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru. It looks small from the outside world, but it's vast and boundless. If I'm not mistaken, those great mountains, too, are as majestic as Buzhou Mountain."

"Exactly, exactly."

The unfamiliar voice snapped everyone out of their immersion in the wondrous realm!

Turning their heads, they saw a plump little beast stepping on the void, nodding repeatedly, agreeing with the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess's words.

"...Qilin?" The goddess fairies immediately recognized the little beast, but were still uncertain.

"Yes, yes, I am a Qilin." The little beast puffed out its chest.

It wasn't a translation; the little beast actually said the word 'Qilin' in ancient Xia Yu.

"Why would a Qilin appear here?" The fairies were puzzled. Earth is so far away from here, possibly beyond the observable range, over 46.5 billion light-years away.

"Qilin, are you a player too?" Li Qianxia speculated.

"No, no." The Qilin shook its head, "I'm not a player, I'm a guide, more specifically the official player. As for why I'm here... the game doesn't restrict this information, so I'll just tell you for free—Mountain Sea City is one of the City Lord's Daoist arenas."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Changzhou had a sudden realization, recalling that "Black Hand Seal" was also known as "Emperor Seal".

"The City Lord you mentioned," he asked probing, "is God, is it Tao Ancestor?"

"Yes, yes." The Qilin nodded.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

No one would blame them; who would associate a City Lord with God and Tao Ancestor?

Especially for these cultivators, they would never consider lowering Tao Ancestor's identity.

The Saints are immortal, traveling throughout the universe. It's not surprising for them to have one or even a hundred thousand Daoist arenas.

For instance, the previous [Heavenly Will·Reincarnation] area was also a temporary resting place for a Saint.

Thus, it can also be inferred that the "Emperor Seal" was created by the "Black Hand" during their time as a Great Emperor in a certain civilization circle, which is why the system named it "Emperor Seal".

"Alright, alright, time for questions is over; let's start selecting territories." The Qilin said.

"Selecting territories?" asked the Turquoise Pool.

The Qilin didn't elaborate.

"Ptooey!" It spat out a ball of golden light, which formed into a clock-sized disk in mid-air.

It was still dripping with saliva!

The Qilin raised its hoof to wipe its mouth: "Leaders, leaders, step up. Spin the map, wherever it stops is yours. Hands only, no cheating with any abilities, understood!"

"Leaders." The Turquoise Pool tapped Li Changzhou on the back, a reminder without kind intention.

"Brother." Li Qianxia nodded her head, signaling him to go forward.

Li Changzhou looked towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess.

The goddess fairy smiled gently, slightly bowing her head in respect, acknowledging Li Changzhou's unique leadership position.

With great difficulty, Li Changzhou took a step forward.

"The Qilin's saliva is spirit medicine; though not famous, it is recorded to be akin to dragon saliva, purifying the body and refining mana." Yang Qinglan comforted.

Li Changzhou turned back, gesturing for her to go, meaning: you do it!!

Yang Qinglan smiled without speaking, remaining distant and aloof, refusing to seek fame or gain.

With no other option, Li Changzhou resignedly went up.

He unwillingly asked: "Can't I wash it with water first?"

"No, no, saliva is my instinctive talent. It lets me know if you're cheating, it can't be washed off!"

"..." Li Changzhou raised his hand.

The fairies squinted or leaned back simultaneously as if watching Li Changzhou voluntarily step into dog poop.

Some pretended not to look, secretly laughing behind raised sleeves.

The small turntable was a map of Mountain Sea City, with hundreds of areas already lit up. Few remained gray.

Li Changzhou spun the pointer, and it transformed into a small golden Qilin, bouncing repeatedly in the gray area. When it finally stopped, that area lit up too.

"Not bad, not bad." The Qilin had somehow flown onto Li Changzhou's shoulder, observing the spinning map like someone sneaking a peek at a phone.

Li Changzhou's other shoulder was Bi.

He caught the most laughing Li Qianxia, wiping his saliva-soaked finger on her clothes.

"Ah—, harassment!" Li Qianxia shouted.

"Not bad?" Li Changzhou asked the Qilin, "Is there a treasure in this area?"

The Qilin, staring at the struggling Li Qianxia, replied, "No, no, no treasure. Each area on the map contains a Heavenly Will. Players who find the Heavenly Will can enter the inner city, to the end of the Heavenly Road."

It looked at Li Changzhou and suddenly laughed strangely: "Hehe, those who can't find their own area's Heavenly Will can also steal from others. Alright, now we'll send you over!"

On top of the Qilin's juvenile horns, rings of light spiraled outwards like ripples.

Everyone felt drowsy as if hypnotized by the ripples. When they regained consciousness, they were already in a different location.

The ocean had disappeared, replaced by dense jungle behind them and a pond before them.

The pond lay beneath a cliff, with a waterfall cascading down from above, the top invisible, like it descended from the void of the universe.

The waterfall's impact transformed this large pond into something that might as well be called a sea.

Standing at the pond's edge, the water was crystal clear to the bottom, where beautiful pebbles littered the ground, and small fish frolicked beneath stones, foraging for food.

"Here, here, this pond and waterfall are your territory; the reason I said this place is good is because the terrain here is simple, making it relatively easy to find the Heavenly Will. If you really can't find it, you can also enter the forest, go ahead, go ahead~"

Amid strange laughter, the Qilin vanished in the golden ripples.

Li Qianxia turned her gaze back, saying: "The Qilin is so sneaky."
