Watching Sonia hastily leave, Ji Chen waved his hand and led the army through the dense sea of gra.s.s, arriving at the metal archway.

Some time pa.s.sed, and the archway remained the same as before, except that there were some wild creatures wandering in from other places around it. Sensing their approach, they were frightened and fled.

Ignoring these insignificant creatures, he approached the metal pillar on the left side of the archway and took out a dimensional key, slowly placing it into the groove.

As soon as the dimensional key touched the groove, it stuck to it as if glued, and then emitted a white light, dazzling like a moon, causing everyone to involuntarily take a few steps back and squint their eyes.

Ji Chen knew that the first step in opening the gate to the mystic realm was completed.

Next, with a thought, he took out a golden gem the size of an adults head from his backpack. Even under the dazzling white light, this gem still emitted a captivating and brilliant light.

Energy gem.

This was obtained from the gnome merchant Ernesto, who had once visited the Crown of the Ocean but was ultimately dealt with by Alice.

According to Ernesto, this energy gem was capable of providing a ma.s.sive and stable source of energy for an alchemical workshop, making it invaluable.

Although he didnt have a specific concept of this, he believed that it must contain extremely remarkable energy, perhaps serving as the energy source to open the gate to the mystic realm.

At this point, he had no other options and no more time to obtain a reliable source of energy from elsewhere, so he decided to give this a try.

With a single thought, he held the energy gem in his hands and approached slowly.

Like iron sensing a magnet, the energy gem left his hands and floated towards the metal archway.

Sensing something, Ji Chen immediately ordered, Everyone, retreat a hundred meters!

At his command, the Crown of the Oceans army quickly stepped back to the edge of the square.

By now, the energy gem had floated to the top of the archway, and strands of golden energy were drawn out and absorbed into the archway.

The metal archway, which had been silent all this time, began to tremble. The runic patterns on it lit up with red light from the center at the top and extended to the sides until they disappeared at the bottom.

The red light contrasted sharply with the pale silver metal, resembling a creation of future technology on Earth.

But Ji Chen knew that this was a product of alchemical technology.

In ancient times, the alchemical technology level of various races was sufficient to create devices that could generate gates to mystic realms, allowing people from the main world and countless mystic realms to travel freely.

But as the G.o.ds gradually disappeared from the world, this alchemical technology gradually faded, leaving behind scattered devices hidden all over the world, which had also worn down and become damaged over time.

Thinking of this, he remembered the experiment notes he obtained from the secret chamber of the Lich Kriegs laboratory.

The Lich Krieg, according to Elin, had lived for at least tens of thousands of years.

With such a long lifespan and being a Lich skilled in alchemical technology, there might be a method for creating the alchemical device that generates the gate to the mystic realm hidden in those notes.

Unfortunately, he hadnt found an alchemist yet and could only let the notes gather dust. But it seemed that he needed to prioritize this now.

As the energy was absorbed, the patterns on the archway became even more vibrant, and the surrounding seawater gradually began to boil.

Boom

With a m.u.f.fled roar, a wave of energy spread out from the center of the archway, raising countless underwater dust. The powerful shockwave even lifted the paved bricks on the square.

When the dust gradually settled, everyone looked closely.

The square that had been paved with bricks had disappeared, revealing a metal base below covered in crimson patterns.

It turned out that the alchemical device that generated the gate to the mystic realm not only consisted of the archway but also had a base with an area of thousands of square meters underneath!

The metal archway had also undergone a change. The energy gem had been completely broken down, transformed into pure energy that merged into the device. The entrance of the archway was now filled with a rotating, pitch-black vortex.

Dark, mysterious, and ominous.

Ji Chens expression slightly tightened; that was the void.

Due to the fact that only one dimensional key was in place, even though the archway had started, it was still connected to the void. If someone accidentally got caught in it and was banished to the void, it would be a dire situation.

The void was filled with endless corrosive energy, and ordinary creatures entering it would die instantly, not even lasting a millisecond. Only a few top-tier experts could move through the void.

At present, Ji Chens strength was not enough for him to operate within the void.

What was even more terrifying, according to Elins description, there were the horrifying void creatures within the void.

If luck was on his side, these void creatures might detect the opened gateway as they pa.s.sed by. They could potentially break in, wreak havoc before the worlds rules expelled them, and turn the surroundings into a death zone.

Realizing the immense danger, Ji Chens expression turned serious, and he immediately gave an order.

Herald, you, along with the Naga Legion and the Guardian Legion, will stay here to prevent any creatures from approaching until I return.

Herald nodded in silence, but the determination in his eyes showed his resolve.

Now, everything was almost complete.

Ji Chen set out once more, leading the remaining army out of the Luminescent forest and returning to the basin. However, he found that the catfish village that had stood in the center of the basin had turned into a death zone..
