The "tiankeng incident" that occurred in Lingcheng, China was only the first one, not the only one, nor the last one.

Since that day, sinkhole incidents have occurred frequently all over the world.

In just one month after the collective return of extraordinary beings, there have been more than 10,000 sinkhole incidents around the world, and more than 10,000 people have gone missing... In other words, the number of people who have traveled to strange worlds has reached 300,000.

The circumstances of each sinkhole incident are similar.

First there were spatial fluctuations, and a slight earthquake could be clearly felt in the surrounding area, and then a huge circular pit suddenly appeared. The things within the original pit no longer existed, and were replaced by some things from the strange world.

For example, the aboriginal people of the strange world, such as houses, such as demon species, such as curse spirits... and so on.

The tiankeng incident in Lingcheng only caused a tiankeng area with a diameter of 20 meters, but this is not fixed.

Some sinkholes are only one meter in diameter and bring nothing but flowers and plants.

However, there are also some sinkholes with extremely scary diameters.

So far, the largest sinkhole incident in the world occurred in southern Switzerland. A small town with a total of 8,000 people disappeared overnight, and was replaced by a huge sinkhole and a monster forest.

There was even a five-element level demon species among them.

Of course, the Five Elements level demon species are no longer worth mentioning to those extraordinary beings on the list today.

The extraordinary beings have traveled through strange worlds six times so far.

On the extraordinary ranking list, the top one thousand extraordinary ones have all reached the level of lv.60.

"Fist Asks the Sky" ranked third in the world, lv.69.

However, the second-ranked "Tao follows nature" has directly opened up a huge gap in the sixth strange world. Although the spell realm is only at the peak of Liuhe level, with the soul realm of the seventh level peak, the overall level has soared.

Reached lv.79.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is the number one "King", lv.90, who is so powerful that no one can see the hope of catching up.

For these powerful extraordinary beings, perhaps the sinkhole incident is not terrible.

After all, so far, the alien creatures that have traveled to the real world have not exceeded the Five Elements level. In fact, even if they are at the Five Elements level, they are only in Switzerland.

But it's different for ordinary people.

The frequent occurrence of tiankeng incidents has seriously affected ordinary people in the real world. Countless families have been broken up, and countless people have lost their beloved family members, not knowing whether they will see them again in this life.

Panic has begun to spread in the hearts of ordinary people.

…

…

Yucheng, Qingken Road.

An elegant bar opened on the corner of the street. Above the store sign with flashing neon lights, it read "Xiu Zhai", a name that was extremely weird.

The speakers are blasting and the place where men and women have fun is the nightclub bar.

But a drinking place that is quieter and more "vegetarian and meat-free" than these places is called a Qing Bar.

It was just dawn at this time, and there were not many customers in this Xiuzhaiqing bar in the early morning.

Bar location.

Wang Xiu, who was wearing a blue and white casual outfit, was practicing bartending. Several bartending glasses were like flying butterflies in his hands, jumping and flipping like spiritual beings.

The action is very beautiful, but the taste of the wine is not known.

"clang--"

In the corner of the bar, the sound of a piano suddenly sounded, and then there was a burst of unfamiliar piano playing. It was not unpleasant, but it was definitely not a masterpiece, more like a beginner's practice.

And this is indeed the case.

Takeda Kosai was also wearing blue and white casual clothes, with long black hair combed into a low ponytail. He was sitting in front of an expensive Steinway piano and was practicing playing seriously.

The piece she was practicing at this time was Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor - "Destiny".

"Squeak——"

Suddenly, the door of the Qing Bar was pushed open from the outside.

A handsome young man wearing a white trench coat slowly walked in.

It was Lin Xianbai.

"morning."

Wang Xiu put down the mixing glass in his hand, smiled and waved.

"This windbreaker is so beautiful."

Takeda Kosai, who was playing the piano, also stopped, looked at the long white windbreaker on Lin Xianbai, chuckled and joked: "Let me guess, Annie picked this for you?"

"really."

Lin Xianbai smiled slightly.

It has been a month since he returned to reality. He has brought Annie here several times these days, and Annie and Takeda Kosai get along very well. It feels like they feel like old friends at first sight.

"I still haven't woken up from watching chess."

Lin Xianbai walked to the bar and sat down. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the topic.

"Didn't one of the three golden balls of light surrounding him lose one a few days ago?"

Wang Xiu didn't seem surprised at all, he just said calmly.

"indeed."

Lin Xianbai nodded lightly.

"Then it proves that our guesses are correct."

Hearing this, Takeda Kosai, who was sitting at the piano, stood up and walked over, standing next to Wang Xiu with a smile on his face, "Guan Qi is indeed attracting stars. Those three golden balls of light mean that he has not received the ball yet."

One month has passed since the completion of the three stars, and one is missing, which means that he still has two stars left before he can fully wake up."

"This is really different from the process of attracting stars in my understanding."

Lin Xianbai frowned slightly.

"really."

Wang Xiu smiled helplessly, "I have only read in books about this method of attracting stars that does not require a star attracting ground. It is said that only the top experts at the Nine Palaces level can help others attract stars in this way, and they also have to pay for it.

It took a lot of effort and cost, and I don’t know who this kid got the favor from.”

"But that still doesn't explain his physical condition."

Takeda Kosai lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "His physical condition is very special. It is constantly being destroyed, and it is constantly healing under the stimulation of a certain force... But the life energy in his body has clearly been exhausted.

For humans of different blood, this state is basically not far from death."

"Don't panic."

Wang Xiu picked up a white towel, wiped a goblet on the bar table, and said calmly: "That kid is really awesome, he won't die so easily. Although he looks half-dead, he is at least half-dead."

One month, I don’t know how long I was half-dead when I was there.”

"It must be the problem with the golden bones."

Takeda Kosai's Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, "His current state is absolutely inseparable from that golden skeleton."

"Okay, what's the point of us guessing here and there?"

Wang Xiu smiled freely, "When he wakes up, the truth will be revealed. To be honest, I don't know why you are always so worried, especially that silly girl Mengyao. What is there to worry about? Obviously.

It's because the kid watching chess got a chance and is evolving. It's scary to see that there is only a skeleton left, but it doesn't matter."

"I also want to know why you are so confident."

Takeda Kosai looked at him helplessly.

"Who knows?"

Wang Xiu shrugged and chuckled: "Maybe it's because that kid always likes to turn the impossible into a reality, just like when he was learning Sword Intent, things that I thought were impossible became a reality for him.

became a reality.”

"We can't do anything about watching chess. We can only let nature take its course for now."

Lin Xianbai frowned and said in a deep voice: "But besides him, we still have many problems to deal with."

"The demon species brought by the sinkhole?"

Wang Xiu glanced at him, and while wiping the cup, he said calmly: "Don't worry about that kind of thing, right? As long as there are no gossip-level people, both of us can help kill it.

If someone of Bagua level appears, there is no point in worrying. Xingzhai and I will fight to the death. Of course, the outcome is uncertain.

If someone of the Jiugong level appears, then there is no point in worrying. Let’s all just wait until it’s over.

So, I really don’t understand, you people are always worried about this and that, what are you doing for? Are you doing it for psychological uneasiness?

What's there to worry about?

If it can be solved, just find a way to solve it. If it can't be solved, do your best, and then wait for the results. Keep your mind calm, do your best, do your best, and don't care what destiny is."
