Madam Xu's palm covered the sky, and the strange phenomenon that had manifested in this extreme cold land disappeared instantly. Once again, she had "corrected" this world that had deviated from its course, setting it back on the right track. On the mountain path, Madam Xu’s transmitted warning slowly faded from Xu Qingzhao’s ears. She was not surprised. In fact, she understood very well that anyone who entered this Star Gate had to abide by its rules—herself included. And that "little guy" with…-

Inside the theater, the young man sweeping the floor was named Yao Sen. He was also a Star Gate player, previously a lone wanderer of the Freedom Faction, unaffiliated with any organization. However, three years ago, during a battle for control, Yao Sen was gravely wounded and was saved by Mr. He. Since then, he had completely given up. He neither entered the Star Gate nor took on any more missions. It was as if his soul had been lost—his desires and ambitions utterly extinguished. For the past three…-

Inside the brightly lit inn, there were eleven tables, coinciding with the eleven guests. Ren Ye sat near the entrance, his eyes scanning the room. Including himself, there were seven men and four women in total. That’s right, the eleven players in the Qingliang Prefecture Star Gate had all arrived. Based on what the scarred man said earlier, it seemed he hadn’t planned to stay at the inn. Instead, he chose to climb the mountain alone but failed to reach the tomb entrance, only to encounter a…-

Princess Anping’s story had concluded, leaving the ten people in the tomb passage in prolonged silence. Even Imperial Inspector Liu, known for his unrestrained tongue, furrowed his brows, looking deeply moved. People crave what they lack the most. And coincidentally, most of the outsiders here—modern people—lacked everything. In today’s society, so-called love, freedom, and reckless abandon were nothing more than words posted on social media. Deep down, all that truly weighed on them was the…-

As the song ended, the young actor on stage had just made his curtain call gesture. Standing at the front of the stage, Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng each placed their "theater money." Upon seeing the few dozen copper coins on the rain-drenched stage, the young actor froze for a moment. He picked up the coins and smiled at Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng, saying, "Gentlemen, I’ve sung The Romance of the Western Chamber halfway, and you only just arrived. Why don’t you take back half of this money?" "It's not…-

In the blink of an eye, winter had arrived, marked by the season’s first snow as expected. Dense snowflakes drifted down gracefully, while the biting cold wind swept through the streets and alleys. In the "Shouzhou Prefecture," a region with a naturally cold climate due to its unique geographical location, the first snow often came as a heavy snowfall. In just one night, the entire prefectural city was blanketed in white. From a distance, it seemed as though the ancient city had been draped in a coat…-

Beneath a dim and oppressive sky stretched a barren plain. The air reeked of a nauseating mix of decay and blood, creating a stifling stench that made one’s stomach churn. A small figure, dressed in white mourning clothes and wearing a mourning cap, knelt before a tombstone. In front of them was a bamboo basket filled with paper money shaped like copper coins. The figure methodically placed the paper money before the tombstone and set it alight. Looking ahead, countless tombstones stretched endlessly…-

Princess Anping’s Tomb, Second Level. Ten players sat cross-legged, each summarizing the fragmented information they had gathered in the tomb passages. Taking turns, they narrated the major events of Princess Anping’s life from a first-person perspective. Since everyone speculated that her life story might be linked to the upcoming quest, they were deeply immersed in the storytelling. The first to speak was the consort, Xu Qingzhao. Sitting upright, her voice was clear and melodious. "I am…-

To the south of Nu Mountain Lake flows a stream called Six-Mile Creek, which stretches for six miles, true to its name. Gu Ning’an and his group set off from Old Mountain Town around noon. By the time they reached the end of the stream, the sun was already setting. It wasn’t that their pace was particularly slow, but halfway through the journey, their donkey cart hit a rock, and one of its wheels completely fell apart. With no village ahead and no shop behind, they had no choice but to spend quite…-

"Alright, enough of that. Do you think Master Gu will have trouble finding us?" "After all, we didn’t tell him where we’d be staying yesterday." Just as Han Yong finished speaking, the traveling merchant waved dismissively, unconcerned. "What’s there to worry about? Someone like Master Gu, if he wants to find us, isn’t it just a matter of calculating with his fingers?" "We’ll just wait here at ease." "Hey, look, isn’t he already here?" As he spoke, the traveling merchant waved toward Gu…-
