Chapter 1246: A Sudden Turn Of Events

As the ancient meteorite ship approached the shore, the cultivators on board grew increasingly excited. Before the ship had even fully docked, several of them couldn't wait and flew out!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

More and more figures landed on the shore, and the tangible sensation beneath their feet instantly ignited the cultivators' long-held hopes. Their joyous cheers echoed in all directions!

"We've arrived! We've finally arrived!"

"This is the Land of Fallen Gods!"

"I am truly destined by fate to have safely reached the Land of Fallen Gods. I will surely ascend to the supreme Dao!"

"Hahahaha!"

Regardless of gender, the cultivators strode excitedly across the beach, their elation akin to that of ordinary mortals. Their smiles were infectious, spreading joy to everyone around them.

The ancient ship, now docked, began to lower its gangway.

Some cautiously stepped onto the shore, not daring to fly, as if in awe of this unfamiliar land. Others had already flown over the beach, landing on solid ground.

Watching the excited crowd jostling to be the first, Lin Ruowei's beautiful eyes sparkled.

Accompanied closely by her maid.

She steadily walked across the beach, the joy of her dream coming true reflected in her delicate features. However, she was noticeably more cautious, neither laughing out loud nor recklessly rushing forward.

In just a few moments.

All the passengers from the meteorite ship had crossed the beach, and their initial euphoria seemed to have slightly subsided. They began to curiously survey the new continent.

Standing quietly by the mangroves, many wore puzzled expressions.

Finally.

Their gazes turned toward the captain of the enforcement team.

"Captain."

"What should we do next? Should we act independently, or stick together?"

"This Land of Fallen Gods doesn't seem all that different?"

"Where should we head first? Are there truly powerful beings here?"

The group bombarded the captain with questions like curious children, leaving him at a loss.

This was his first time setting foot in the Land of Fallen Gods as well. How could he know so much?

Just as the crowd gathered around him.

Suddenly!

Countless ripples appeared in the sky!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, countless figures materialized in the air, densely packed and impossible to count. They loomed overhead like dark clouds, and the very heavens and earth seemed to freeze in an instant!

The crowd looked up in shock, falling into a sudden silence.

The captain of the enforcement team also looked up in stunned disbelief, his eyes filled with awe and incredulity!

"This..."

"How can their cultivation be so terrifying? I can't even sense a trace of their aura!"

As soon as he spoke.

The other cultivators grew even more nervous, their faces paling in fear!

"How is this possible?!"

"Even the captain can't sense their auras. Who are these people?!"

"They must be the permanent residents of the Land of Fallen Gods!"

"Gasp..."

The sudden appearance of these figures jolted everyone awake. The cultivators began to tense up, noticing the cold, almost hostile expressions on the faces of the figures in the sky. Instinctively, they huddled together.

After a few moments of staring upward.

The cultivators exchanged uneasy glances, and murmurs of doubt began to spread.

"What's going on?"

"They don't seem friendly."

"That can't be, right? We're all human cultivators, and we've traveled across the seas to get here. Why would they be hostile?"

"I don't think so! Something feels off!"

Speculations echoed around, and the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

The initial joy of landing in the Land of Fallen Gods was now doused like a bucket of cold water. Everyone's nerves were on edge, as if a storm was about to break.

Lin Ruowei was surrounded and protected in the center, her maid's face pale with fear.

"Miss, what's happening?!"

Lin Ruowei didn't utter a word, only shaking her head slightly. However, a trace of worry flickered in her eyes, as if an ominous premonition was spreading uncontrollably from the depths of her heart...

...

In the ancient city of Duan Ya.

Inside a luxurious hall, Yao Qianji sat quietly on a dragon throne, lightly flicking his fingers. Jade slips on the table flipped rapidly, with various pieces of information flashing by.

A black-armored guard strode into the hall, standing in the center and saluting with a fist.

"Reporting to the lord!"

"The outsiders have arrived by ship and are now surrounded on the shore. How should we deal with them? Please give your orders!"

Hearing this, Yao Qianji coldly raised his eyes.

"Deal with them?"

"A bunch of lowly outsiders. Where else could they go?"

"I recall that a new meteorite mine was recently discovered in the Northern Desert Wasteland. It seems to be an ancient deposit, extremely difficult to mine. We're short on labor there. Send them to work."

The guard in the hall was momentarily stunned, hesitating for a few moments before speaking again.

"My lord, this..."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Although those outsiders are insignificant, the Ten Thousand Domains Alliance is mostly made up of such lowly outsiders. Over tens of thousands of years, the Ten Thousand Domains Alliance has grown increasingly powerful and has always been united. If they hear about this, they might not stand idly by."

Yao Qianji's expression darkened, and he let out a disdainful sneer.

"Hmph."

"What can the Ten Thousand Domains Alliance do?"

"Even if they find out, would they really risk a confrontation with our Black Dragon Divine Guards over a few newly arrived outsiders? The Ten Thousand Domains Alliance may be powerful, but they're still just a group of outsiders banding together for warmth. Their foundation is limited. They would never risk major losses over something so trivial."

Yao Qianji's disdain grew even more pronounced, as if all outsiders were nothing more than ants, unworthy of his attention.
