Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

The next period of time.

Two events occurred in Shapudian consecutively.

The first one.

The Shapudian People filed a strong protest to the Jin Kongque People, demanding that all illegally-entered Jin Kongque People leave Shapudian territory.

However, the Jin Kongque People ignored them completely as if treating the Shapudian People as non-existent air.

The second one.

Four fighter jets of the Jin Kongque, while flying along the coastline, suddenly encountered electromagnetic interference, causing their radar systems to completely fail.

Then.

There was nothing more.

No matter how the Jin Kongque People tried to make contact, they were unable to reach their pilots, as if they had completely vanished from this world.

At the same time.

The Jin Kongque People seemed to realize the issue and ordered a halt to all fighter operations within Shapudian to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The attitude demonstrated by the Jin Kongque People also showed that they were exercising restraint and did not wish to truly get involved in conflict.

*

An hour passed.

Great Xia.

The officer in charge of external affairs, Zhang Donghai, received a video call from the Jin Kongque, and the caller was an old acquaintance, Lahar.

Lahar appeared furious: "Minister Zhang, you must give the Jin Kongque an explanation."

Minister Zhang was well aware of the situation but showed no expression on his face: "What kind of explanation do you want?"

Lahar accused sternly: "This morning, our fighter jets were attacked by a Superpower User.

"Two hours ago, our four fighter jets were attacked again, and all pilots unfortunately perished. These two incidents are inseparable from you.

"This is a despicable act of deliberately provoking war, and an outright shameful violation of the rules."

Commissioner Zhang sneered and retorted: "Do you really think we are deliberately trying to provoke war?"

Lahar was feeling a bit uneasy inside but maintained a righteous facade: "Of course!"

This guy was lying effortlessly: "Our pilots greeted the Great Xia Superpower User, and he took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack..."

Commissioner Zhang had no patience to listen any further and directly interrupted: "Minister Lahar, I have a recording here."

He turned to his assistant and gestured.

The assistant, who had been listening with anger, immediately handed over a tablet upon seeing the gesture.

The recording began to play.

The speaker was using the language of the Jin Kongque.

"...start the action quickly, the Xia People have no idea.

"...even if the Xia People come to us... we can use a misunderstanding as an excuse.

"...kill this Great Xia Superpower User!"

This was the recording decrypted by the Great Xia Military from the black box.

With the current level of Xia People's electronic technology, achieving this was not a big effort.

"...first fly past the Xia People, waving to make them lower their guard."

"...turn the jet around, then fire combat missiles at the Xia People."

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Lahar's face turned livid with embarrassment.

Commissioner Zhang looked directly at him, his gaze sharp: "Minister Lahar, Jin Kongque must give Great Xia an explanation."

Earlier, Lahar demanded, "Great Xia must give Jin Kongque an explanation," and now Commissioner Zhang returned the demand word for word.

Lahar demonstrated astonishing shamelessness: "I strongly doubt the authenticity of this recording."

Commissioner Zhang laughed in exasperation: "Your shamelessness exceeds my imagination."

The Jin Kongque People ambushed the Great Xia Superpower User, yet they have the audacity to falsely accuse the Xia Superpower User of a sneak attack.

Now the evidence is right in front, yet Lahar still refuses to admit.

It's truly astounding.

Lahar showed complete lack of shame: "Commissioner Zhang, this is a very disrespectful and unreasonable accusation."

He paused and then continued: "Great Xia can hand over the original recording to us, so our experts can verify its authenticity."

Commissioner Zhang shook his head: "I've really broadened my horizons today."

He couldn't be bothered to argue further: "Since Jin Kongque is unwilling to give Great Xia an explanation, then Great Xia will seek an explanation in its own way."

Lahar started to feel anxious: "Commissioner Zhang..."

But he had no chance to finish his words.

Commissioner Zhang unilaterally cut off the communication.

The assistant cursed fiercely: "How shameless!"

Commissioner Zhang sighed: "I always knew these people were shameless, but I truly didn't expect them to be shameless to this degree."

The assistant couldn't help but ask: "How will the top deal with these bastards? Will there be a fight?"

Commissioner Zhang glared at his subordinate: "What are you thinking? In the current situation where there are natural disasters everywhere, how could there be a war?"

The assistant laughed awkwardly: "You're right, I was just too furious."

Commissioner Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the top is likely to use this opportunity to suppress the Jin Kongque People."

The assistant asked further: "How will they suppress?"

Commissioner Zhang refused to say more and only instructed: "There's a meeting later, go prepare the documents."

The assistant nodded helplessly and replied: "Yes!"

Shapudian.

At an altitude of over two thousand meters.

Yang Fan stood against the wind, holding the Space Pearl in his left hand, his expression somewhat subtle.

This curiosity occasionally vibrated with a "buzz" and emitted a slight chill on its surface.

A mysterious Spiritual Sense made him vaguely feel that an indescribable "door" was about to open here.

This was undoubtedly the Spatial Rift.

Yang Fan murmured to himself: "So this is what the rift feels like!"

This was not a door in the conventional sense but an invisible connection point.

It existed in a higher dimension.

Invisible to the eye.

Modern technology couldn't detect it either.

Yang Fan meditated for a full half hour and suddenly whispered: "I understand."

An extraordinary thing happened.

A Star Mark in his mind suddenly emitted a faint glow.

Yang Fan instantly sensed a tight connection between his spirit, the Star Mark, and a curiosity.

It seemed like an instant passed.

Or perhaps a long time.

This "close connection" feeling gradually faded away.

Yang Fan performed an "Introspection" and exclaimed in surprise.

The previously glowing Star Mark had oddly extended a fork.

At the forked tip, a faint cluster of lights appeared.

Yang Fan looked incredulous: "Could this be the embryonic form of the third Star Mark?"

His intuition told him, this was it!

To sense the third Primordial Star Formation, he persistently observed the night sky every night.

But there was no progress.

Yang Fan never imagined that by a world rift, he unexpectedly sensed the third Primordial Star Formation.

Of course.

Currently, it's not in a complete state, merely a "halfway" Star Mark.

He checked his attributes again.

[Attributes]

Physical Value: 19.2

Spirit Value: 23.6

Compared to before, his Spirit Value increased by 2.5 points.

Feeling a sense of mental fullness, Yang Fan couldn't help but murmur: "Truly miraculous!"

He moved his right hand, and the Shuttle Boat appeared out of thin air.

He had a hunch as well, that the strange thing just now playing a significant role in sensing the third Primordial Star Formation.

At the same time.

The third Star Mark flickered.

Yang Fan sensed distinctly that opposite him lay an unusual space.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a soft sound.

As if glass shattered.

Yang Fan only felt a blink before entering this unusual space.

Here, there was no sky or earth.

Countless fragmented images swept past like a torrent.

Yang Fan saw familiar forests, familiar peaks, and the familiar sky.

This is Canglan Star.

Yang Fan took a step back.

The torrent instantly changed its appearance and began eerily flowing backward.

The images within also changed.

Yang Fan glanced around, his expression changing: "How is it here?!"

From the broken images, he saw endless black sand.

Back when he roamed the Primordial World in the Dream Realm, he "wandered" across this Boundless Desert Sea.

He had no idea how vast this sea of sand was.

Countless super dunes rose in the sea of sand, commonly reaching astonishing heights of several kilometers.

The tallest he saw was perhaps over a hundred kilometers, like a column reaching the clouds.

Such a magnificent sight left an exceptionally deep impression on him.

Yang Fan observed for a while, experiencing another sensation in his heart.

"Crack!"

Another sound.

The familiar scene returned.

He reappeared on Canglan Star.

Yang Fan was overjoyed: "It seems the combination of the Star Mark and this strange object can stimulate the potential of the curiosities."

The place he was just in, was known as the Realm Gap Dimension.

The evolved Shuttle Boat gained the capability to "shuttle in the Realm Gap Dimension."

If faced with a powerful monster, as long as he dives into the Realm Gap Dimension, the monster could only watch helplessly.

Unless the monster also had a means to enter the Realm Gap Dimension, he could rest easy.

In short.

This is an extremely powerful survival skill.

Yang Fan put away the Shuttle Boat, feeling somewhat worried: "I remember the 'Flying Sand Dragonfly' in the 'Sea of Death Black Sand' is not easy to deal with."

He quickly descended from the sky, took out a satellite phone from the Space Pearl, and contacted the military again.

This matter was too serious; it was necessary to promptly notify the Great Xia Military and have them prepare to respond.

Great Xia.

Inside a Secret Base.

Commander Lou walked briskly with determination, arriving by the pond.

"Miss Jana!"

Commander Lou called out.

In the past, he always waited quietly for the Mermaid to surface, but today he called out proactively.

Evidently, Commander Lou's urgency was palpable.

"Splash!"

Waves splashed.

An infinitely charming face emerged from the water.

Commander Lou greeted her and quickly said: "Miss Jana, do you know about the Sea of Death Black Sand?"

Just from hearing the word "Death," one could imagine how dangerous this place was.

The Mermaid looked bewildered: "How do you know about the Sea of Death Black Sand?"

She quickly realized: "Did Mr. Ghost tell you this information?"

Commander Lou nodded: "Yes."

He continued to explain: "Mr. Ghost informed us that he sensed the aura of the Sea of Death Black Sand in a region in the southern part of the East Continent."

The Mermaid was taken aback: "How is that possible?"

She rose slightly more, revealing her smooth shoulders: "Without the strength of the Knight Rank, Sensing Power cannot penetrate the Realm Gap Dimension."

Commander Lou reminded: "Mr. Ghost possesses a Supreme Treasure."

The Mermaid shook her head: "A newly birthed Supreme Treasure's power doesn't surpass a Deceitful Artifact significantly; it's unlikely to traverse the Realm Gap Dimension."

She added: "The Realm Gap Dimension can block powerful creatures' sensing; you should understand what this implies."

Commander Lou finally understood: "I get it."

Powerful creatures couldn't sense it, yet Mr. Ghost could.

The implications were astonishing.

The Mermaid sighed softly: "If only I could meet Mr. Ghost."

Commander Lou felt a bit awkward.

Miss Jana had imparted much knowledge to Great Xia and only made one request, yet Great Xia hadn't been able to fulfill it for her.

The Mermaid changed the topic: "I roughly understand Mr. Ghost's meaning.

"He's worried that monsters from the Sea of Death Black Sand will enter Canglan Star and hopes I can provide more information."

Commander Lou assumed an attentive posture: "Please enlighten us, Miss Jana."
