Chapter 671: Chapter 221: Promotion to the Infinite Sea! The Emperor’s Gaze and Protection! Constructing the Indestructible Projection

The uproar from Qin Feng’s two thunderous, unchallengeable shots did not last long.

In this expanse of the void, where hundreds of thousands of top prodigies from five Star Zones had gathered, there were no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Once everyone realized that this top-ranked terror from Galaxy No. 117 was only targeting those two unlucky souls with whom he had an old grudge, and that he had no intention of breaking the overarching "no killing" rule of this place, the tense, hair-trigger atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Of course, after this incident, nearly every top expert from the other four Star Zones mentally equated the name "Qin Feng" with "extremely dangerous."

They all came to the profound realization that this was an overbearing, ruthlessly decisive, and unfathomably powerful individual.

Once the commotion died down, Qin Feng’s figure flickered and he slipped silently into the dense crowd, eventually stopping in an inconspicuous corner next to a familiar, slightly chubby figure.

It was his ally, the information broker Fire Circle.

"Heh heh..."

Fire Circle sensed his arrival and turned, his face immediately breaking into its signature grin. "Qin Feng, you’re really something else! How long has it been since we parted? In the blink of an eye, you’ve already made it to the top of the rankings for Galaxy No. 117!"

"Just luck."

Qin Feng gave a faint, noncommittal smile.

Fire Circle lowered his voice, his tone filled with glee. "Luck or skill, who cares? Those two shots just now actually killed Lang Qi and Tie Muer! So satisfying! If those two hadn’t teamed up to ambush us, there’s no way we would have lost our Heaven-Reaching Vine Fruits!"

Qin Feng just smiled, not saying anything.

Fire Circle glanced around. After confirming no one was paying them any mind, he continued in a secretive tone, "By the way, Qin Feng, let me fill you in on the current situation here."

"Right now, the situation is basically a tacit agreement.

All the top experts are maintaining order. Nobody’s making a move; they’re all just quietly waiting for the first group that rushed into those Library Planets to come out."

"To put it bluntly, we’re letting others scout ahead and see what the situation is really like inside these nine planets."

Fire Circle explained, "Don’t be fooled by how convincing the forum posts seem. All that information was dug up from the Empire’s old official databases.

Apparently, this place was used as a Trial Ground in a few Cosmic Genius Battles a long time ago, which is why we can find bits and pieces of information.

But times have changed, so heaven knows what it’s actually like in there now."

"As for the difficulty, especially, no one really has a clue right now.

The post only said you need a baseline strength at the River Realm, but that standard is way too vague.

We won’t know what we’ll actually face inside, or how the difficulty increases from planet to planet, until the first group that went in comes back out."

"By my calculations, it should be soon. It’s been almost three months for the earliest group that went in, so I estimate someone will be coming out of the first planet any day now."

Listening to Fire Circle’s detailed analysis, Qin Feng nodded slightly in understanding.

’As expected, none of these top prodigies are simple-minded brutes.’

’This seemingly calm wait actually concealed the safest and most efficient strategy.’

’A few months is nothing to people like them.’

So, just like Fire Circle, he found a spot in the void, sat down cross-legged, and began to wait quietly.

Time trickled by in the deathly silent vacuum of the cosmos.

After being slain by Qin Feng once again, Lang Qi and Tie Muer did not return to the cluster of Library Planets upon their Rebirth.

They knew full well that with Qin Feng’s vindictive nature, if they dared to show their faces here again, they would absolutely be killed on the spot.

Back when the Cosmic Genius Battle had just begun, they had joined forces to steal ten of Qin Feng’s Heaven-Reaching Vine Fruits and had even hunted him to his death.

Now the tables had turned. Their own strength was inferior, so there was nothing they could do about being targeted by Qin Feng. They had no one to blame but themselves.

Rather than come back only to be further humiliated, it was better to waste no time and search for other opportunities elsewhere.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, one day, at the unusual portal on the surface of the smallest of the nine planets, a faint light flashed, and a slightly weary figure staggered out.

The sight instantly captured the attention of everyone present.

After briefly adjusting to the environment outside, the figure steadied himself.

He saw the hundreds of thousands of gazes fixed upon him and was taken aback for a moment. Then, as if in realization, a friendly smile spread across his face.

"Friend, would you be willing to share what you learned inside the first Library Planet?"

An expert immediately stepped forward and asked politely.

This Martial Artist was the genius from Star Zone No. 115, a man named Han Yu.

He was a rather amiable person. Faced with the crowd’s questions, he didn’t hide anything, freely sharing his firsthand experiences.

"Everyone, the inside of the first planet is an absolutely enormous Mental Power maze."

Han Yu’s voice, carried by fluctuations of Mental Power, reached the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity.

"We can only go in through the sole entrance. Once inside, we have to rely on our own Mental Power to navigate an endless maze of forking paths and a torrent of information to find the one and only exit."
