Features: After these creatures emerged from the ground, some danced frequently, as if extremely joyful, while others remained lazily motionless, their bodies flickering with light like neon lights in a city. "These are more like plants," said Fa Zaoqing, as she approached a tree-like creature. Its trunk was short and thick, with sparse branches and leaves, swaying like human arms. Each leaf glowed green, and water droplets falling from the air were instantly absorbed by the leaves. Feng Zhaoyuan felt a thought, "At night, the temperature here rises, and there is ample water, so these plants emerge to absorb heat and water." Fa Zaoqing stared at the glowing plants in silence. Feng Zhaoyuan looked at her, and she sighed faintly, "In my imagination, the Void should be an incredibly wondrous world, where all scenery appears dreamlike and unrealistic. But now that I've truly seen it, I suddenly feel a sense of disappointment. Although these creatures are different from those on Earth, they aren't particularly unique."
"Exactly," said the White Fox, also disappointed. "I thought this would be an eternal sky, but instead, it's a wild and desolate place. If I had known the Void looked like this, I wouldn't have wasted my time coming here." Feng Zhaoyuan smiled, "Do you think the Void is a fairyland with pavilions and mist? That's just a legend of humans. Besides, it has been through a war. Even if it was once picturesque, it's long been transformed beyond recognition." The two continued to walk forward. In the night sky, no stars were visible, only clusters of blue clouds drifting slowly. These clouds were thick and radiant, casting a strange blue glow on the two of them. The terrain in the distance gradually rose, revealing vast mountain ranges with layered peaks stretching into the horizon. The rocks were deep red, covered in dense thorny bushes. The thorns bloomed with white flowers, and their centers contained dozens of round, red fruits, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Let's just climb over the mountains directly," said Fa Zaoqing, extending her hands to shorten the nearby space. In the blink of an eye, they had leaped over several mountains. Feng Zhaoyuan used the technique of "Mysterious Doors and" (Qimen Dunjia), and his figure flickered, appearing behind Fa Zaoqing. Although this world was different from Earth, their abilities and Dao arts could still be used without any restrictions.
"You see, ahead looks like a city," said Fa Zaoqing, pointing in that direction. Across the peaks, Feng Zhaoyuan saw numerous mushroom-shaped, circular buildings, large in size and densely distributed. Among the buildings, narrow rivers seemed to flow. Opening his bloodthirsty eyes, he noticed a few moving things in the faint red glow.
"City, and creatures," Feng Zhaoyuan and Fa Zaoqing exchanged a heavy glance, their expressions grave. It was highly likely that those terrifying gods resided in these buildings.
"We should get closer and observe them from the shadows," Feng Zhaoyuan said cautiously. Fei Changfang had only tasked them with assessing the current state of the Void, so there was no need to enter the city and disturb these frightening creatures. Fa Zaoqing nodded, and the two of them, afraid of alarming each other,
