Although they were considered elites among their peers, they were still too young to compare with the seasoned veterans who had spent so long in the Outland.

It is important to know that once Divine Territory Players leave school, there are no restrictions. As long as they are willing to pay the price of their future prospects, they can crazily enhance their Divine Power to the limits that their Divinity can withstand. In the early stages, it is quite difficult for students who have been trained in the standard college style to surpass them.

In the later stages, the college style will undoubtedly be stronger in both strength and potential, but during the first and second years, it is not so clear.

As the old saying goes, fortune comes with risks, and the benefits contained within a God’s Tomb are enough to warrant taking some risks.

Yes, just some risks.

Before confirming his agreement with them, Lin Xiao separately contacted his mentor and the observer from the top college ‘Ether’, sending them each a message.

He informed them about this opportunity they encountered after completing their own mission and their plans to enter the God’s Tomb.

Regardless of whether it was the team mentor or the observer from Ether, he didn’t know if they had always been watching him, but now that he had reported the matter to them, he would definitely come under their scrutiny.

His actions were visible to Lin Xu and Shen Yuexin. While uploading the information, he said to the two of them:

“Given the weight of the three of us, our mentors will surely pay close attention to us later. That way, even if we encounter any dangers in the God’s Tomb that we can’t resist, there will be a mentor ready to save us at the critical moment.”

This was essentially creating a backup plan for himself. Although it was somewhat foolish to place hope in the hands of others, it was, at the very least, a form of insurance.

The officials of the Summer Camp, the mentors, and the colleges that had specially recruited each of the three of them—as long as any one of them was paying attention to them—would save them in the most dangerous moment. With multiple insurances in place, the safety guarantee was still relatively high.

After finishing these preparations, Lin Xiao said to Zhang Feng:

“We can certainly cooperate. More people means greater strength. The God’s Tomb is so dangerous, it’s perfect for sharing some of the pressure.”

Zhang Feng’s face immediately lit up with an enthusiastic smile, and he laughed heartily:

“It is our honor to cooperate with such distinguished students.”

Lin Xiao laughed in response:

“You are too kind. All of you are veteran adventurers with more experience and knowledge than us. You should take the lead in our upcoming exploration.”

“No problem, let’s work together sincerely and make a fortune together.”

“Yes, yes, let’s make a fortune together.”

In just a few words, the method of cooperation was agreed upon, and both parties gathered to discuss. The eight Divine Territory Players spread out to continue investigating each space rift, greatly increasing their efficiency.

Zhang Feng and the other eleven ordinary adventurers temporarily stopped on the solitary peak in the center of the valley. Aside from Yu Xiu, all of these people were Rank 6 or even Rank 7 Transcendent Level experts. Even Zhang Feng, who seemed gentle and refined, was actually a Transcendent Rank Magician.

As the only non-Transcendent person, Yu Xiu wouldn’t have been able to participate in such a major event if he hadn’t brought Divinity with him.

Looking enviously at the busy group, he asked in a low voice:

“Boss, are we really going to cooperate with them?”

Zhang Feng glanced at him and nodded:

“Cooperate.”

Yu Xiu smacked his lips, sighing:

“But that’s the God’s Tomb.”

“We have no choice but to cooperate,” Zhang Feng said.

He looked up at the Vault of Heaven for a long while, suddenly pointed to the sky with a smile, and said:

“Do you believe that at least two True Gods are watching us right now?”

Yu Xiu looked up in astonishment. The sky was murky with a yellow tint, empty of anything, and he said in surprise:

“Really?”

“Hmmph, you should know that it is now the Super Newcomer Summer Camp, and we’re still in the exchange competition period. With the five top Super Academies and over a hundred higher education colleges, not to mention the powerful figures from the College Alliance gathered here, this plane might be under the watch of several hundred True God incarnations at the moment. Any corner of the plane is under their eyes.”

He glanced at his subordinates and said:

“Under these circumstances, can we refuse to cooperate?”

“Er…”

Yu Xiu was speechless for a moment before finally sighing:

“Damn, I’m so envious!”

With eight people searching together, the several hundred space rifts were quickly examined, and a total of seventeen rifts with traces of the Semi-god Vampire were found.

Then, with Li Cheng of Yuming Trading Company, the team leader who had obtained the Semi-god Vampire’s Divinity, leading the way, they compared the Divinity with each space rift to determine which one the Semi-god Vampire had entered.

Divinity of the same origin is connected. As Divinity approached a space rift, there would definitely be a reaction if it were the right one.

After only trying the fourth space rift, they saw the fragment of Divinity come alive, letting them know that this was the right rift.

However, for safety’s sake, they continued to inspect all the remaining rifts. Ultimately, they confirmed that this space rift at the foot of the solitary peak was indeed the entrance to the God’s Tomb.

The next step was to go inside.

To show his sincerity, Zhang Feng said:

“Later on, one of our team members will enter first, and then one of you will go in. We will take turns like this, okay?”

Lin Xiao replied with a smile:

“There’s no need for such trouble. You two go in first, and then the three of us will enter together, how about that?”

Zhang Feng was taken aback for a moment but then immediately laughed:

“Sure.”

He looked towards team captain Li Cheng, who immediately nodded at the two team members behind him:

“Feng Wei, Wang Jiechao, you two go first.”

The two subordinates nodded without hesitation, and as the thought crossed their minds, a layer of golden, glass-like Divine Light protected their entire bodies. They stepped confidently into the rift swirling with dark flames, disappearing with a crackling pop.

After the two entered, Lin Xiao and the others approached the space rift. Before entering, they suddenly turned around in unison and waved towards the sky. Zhang Feng, Li Cheng, and the others’ expressions changed, and they grinned awkwardly, also waving towards the direction they had gestured to.

Stepping into the space rift felt like entering a volcanic lava pool or an acidic pool. The black Void Energy reacted violently with their protective Divine Power, crackling nonstop, and they could clearly sense the consumption of their Divine Shield.

Once they fully stepped into the space rift, the darkness before their eyes changed, and they had left the Shattered Plane, entering the Void outside the Plane Crystal Wall.

Normally behind a space rift should lie the endless expanse of the Void Sea, but the area beyond the Crystal Wall they’d entered was scattered with auroras of various colors, likely remnants of Piecemeal Planes that hadn’t completely disappeared, suggesting this was probably the location of a Half-Plane that once adjoined a larger Plane.

Amidst these remnants of auroral Plane Fragments was a Teleportation Array fixed at the edge of the Crystal Wall, resilient against the erosion of the Void Storms all year round, still stubbornly emitting… intermittent light.

After all, it had existed for too long without maintenance. Even if this Teleportation Array had been arranged by a Deity, it was on the verge of failing. It already looked very unstable, and who knows when it might completely cease to exist.

Feng Wei and Wang Jiechao, who had set off first, were now standing above the Teleportation Array. Upon seeing them come in, they waved them over.

The three flew up to the rather large Teleportation Array, and Wang Jiechao, who had his hair styled into small braids, said:

“Do we go in now or should we wait for the others to arrive and go together?”

Lin Xiao glanced at his two teammates, and Lin Xu said:

“Let’s wait for everyone to go together. This Teleportation Array doesn’t seem very stable; it probably can’t be used many more times.”

Wang Jiechao and Feng Wei naturally had no objections.

After standing for a while, another Divine Territory Player called Feng Wei leaned in and softly asked:

“All of you who can participate in the Super Newcomer Summer Camp are elites among elites. We were eliminated early, just academic dregs, so I’m really curious. Could you share some interesting stories about the Summer Camp that you can tell?”

“Ah, this…”

Lin Xiao scratched his head and said:

“Brother, I don’t really know how to answer your question.”

“Then just talk about how impressive those top elites from your Summer Camp session are. I heard that this session was ranked by seating. Tell us how powerful those top elites at the Silver and Gold Tiers are.”

“Ah…”

At that moment, Wang Jiechao on the other side, also very interested, said:

“I heard that there’s a prodigy from our HuaXia District this session named Wu Zhonglin, a candidate for the deputy list of prodigies, who made it while only a freshman high schooler, scarily strong. You must have seen him; could you tell us how strong he is?”

“This, I can talk about.”

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Shen Yuexin who was secretly snickering with her eyes curved like crescent moons, and said:

“That guy is truly formidable. You know about the Kobold Dragonvein Magician, right? It’s just…”

At the edge of the rift, the Void Energy expanded and more than a dozen figures emerged from the space rift. Li Cheng, walking at the front, paused when he saw the three chatting together. Wang Jiechao also saw the captain coming and quickly stood up, rubbing his hands and saying:

“Hehe, we were just chatting with them.”

Li Cheng nodded without saying anything, his gaze sweeping over the Teleportation Array and saying:

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s get ready to go together.”

Saying so, he crouched and pressed his hand on the Teleportation Array at the edge of the Plane Crystal Wall, injecting Divine Power to activate it.

At that moment, the man whose hair resembled burning blue flames named Zi Feng leaned over and whispered to his teammate:

“What were you guys chatting about?”

Wang Jiechao chuckled and said:

“We were discussing the Super Newcomer Summer Camp with the big guy.”

Zi Feng immediately showed interest:

“Really? I also want to hear.”

“We’ll talk about it on the way.”

“Alright.”

Li Cheng quickly stabilized the Teleportation Array, gathered everyone, and combined their Strength into one before activating the teleportation portal. With a dazzling burst of light, the group of over a dozen had vanished.

After they left, several supremely powerful wills descended, completely dispelling the surrounding Void Energy to form a clear Void.

A powerful will swept over the now dimmer Teleportation Array, and after a while, a voice said:

“Interesting, there’s an undiscovered God’s Tomb in this Plane.”

Immediately after, a regal female voice said:

“Looks like their luck isn’t bad. Shall we go take a look?”

“Of course!”

The wills quickly disappeared from the spot, the displaced Void Energy surged back violently, colliding and forming a surging tide of energy that rushed in all directions.

By that time, Lin Xiao and his group had already passed through the teleportation portal, traveling an unfathomable distance to arrive in a… Shattered Half-Plane.
