Chapter 391: Chapter 387: Heading to Eden

“Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s head over to the Starry Sky Gate first and wait for Minister Yi.”

Tan Lang checked the time and prepared to lead the team away.

“Sorry, I’ve ordered some stuff and I’m still waiting for them to prepare it. You guys go ahead.”

Bai Qi said.

“Do you want me to take you directly to the warehouse? It might be a bit troublesome without authorization.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Lang immediately offered to guide him but was stopped by Li Xusheng, who said, “No need, Bai Qi has the same clearance as us.”

“Oh, in that case, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Tan Lang gave a faint smile, then left with Wang Chuan and the others.

Seeing them leave, Bai Qi, who had been holding back, asked, “Li Xusheng, is the leader of the Zero Team also a descendant of a legendary creature?”

Li Xusheng nodded, saying, “Yes, not only Tan Lang, but the other four members of the Zero Team are also of legendary creature bloodline.”

Goodness, what a line-up…

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, looking at Li Xusheng who had shut his mouth tight after answering, he didn’t ask any more questions.

Even though these people were like Li Xusheng, of mixed blood, something about them felt off.

Like that Wang Chuan, who seemed very enthusiastic but didn’t seem to treat him like a peer, it was more like he was looking at… a monkey in a zoo?

But it didn’t matter. After all, he was here to fulfill a task.

“Mr. Bai Qi, the resources you requested are ready now. If you could follow me to collect them.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Bai Qi nodded, and followed the store clerk to different warehouses to collect the materials individually. Only after everything was confirmed to be correct, did he follow Li Xusheng towards the Starry Sky Gate.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but when Bai Qi and Li Xusheng arrived at the Starry Sky Gate, Yi Yu also appeared at the same time.

Yi Yu glanced at Bai Qi, saying, “From the look of you, it seems you’ve made quite a harvest?”

“Not bad. Thank you, Minister Yi.”

Bai Qi nodded. Had it not been for Yi Yu sending Li Xusheng with him to the logistics department, it would have taken Bai Qi quite some time to purchase these materials. This way, it was all done in one go.

“That’s good. But I reckon the gains you make in Eden will be even greater.”

Yi Yu gave a faint smile, and without waiting for Bai Qi to ask, he headed straight for the Starry Sky Gate. After simple operations, he stepped through.

“We should follow them. The energy consumption to travel to Eden through the Starry Sky Gate is quite large. We shouldn’t waste any time.”

Seeing this, Tan Lang immediately led his five teammates and followed, not intending to wait for Bai Qi.

“We should go as well. If the Starry Sky Gate closes, your mission will be considered a failure.”

Li Xusheng passed by Bai Qi, who, having heard his words, immediately sped up his pace.

A mission failure? That couldn’t happen, this was a mission involving a mythical level resource.

…

Unlike his previous journey to the Emperor’s Secret Realm, where he arrived directly at the destination through the gate.

On stepping into the channel towards Eden, Bai Qi felt as if he had entered a long tunnel, but this tunnel seemed to move on its own, transporting Bai Qi continuously towards another space.

“Space technology, I wish I could learn it…”

Looking at the chaotic space around him, Bai Qi felt even more envious.

The Space Barrier Device, the Jiuding System, had been studied for quite a while. Although it could form a space barrier, it couldn’t form a closed space like the original system.

But Professor Chu had also said that space technology was the only core knowledge that the Thirteenth Bureau, or the Federation, would not share. So, Bai Qi had essentially given up.

He should let Delta do some research when he got back and see if they could master space transmission technology.

Finally, the seemingly endless corridor around him gradually disappeared, and Bai Qi finally stepped through the fog in front of him and arrived at the destination for this trip.

Eden.

Unlike the idyllic paradise Bai Qi had envisioned, this place was incredibly austere.

They were standing on a slab of stone about a hundred square meters. Around the rock slab was an abyss of void.

When Bai Qi walked to the edge of the floating island, he saw four huge floating islands gathered below. A long river was divided into four strands, encircling all of Eden. There were also buildings faintly visible on top.

Apart from that, it was no different from ordinary landscapes.

“Surprised?”

Yi Yu walked up to Bai Qi and laughed, “The youngest guardians here have lived for five to six hundred years, and the oldest even up to a thousand years. In their eyes, all those garish things might not be as fulfilling as a good sleep.”

Bai Qi nodded. Nicholas was like that. Before meeting him, he did little other than sleep.

“But, looking at it this way, wouldn’t the guardians prefer tranquility? Why would they organize such a massive event?”

Bai Qi became more puzzled, while Yi Yu only shook his head. “Just because they have no interest in luxury, doesn’t mean the guardians don’t get bored.”

So, what you’re saying is, the essence of this SSS level task is to play with the guardians?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn’t help envisioning a group of legendary creatures forcing them to dance around in grass skirts.

Bai Qi’s eye twitched, and he suddenly started regretting accepting this mission.

“Don’t worry, it’s not what you’re thinking. From a certain perspective, this task in Eden could also be considered a blessing.”

Yi Yu clapped Bai Qi on the shoulder and stepped onto a floating island that was flying towards them.

He hoped so…

Bai Qi sighed and followed Yi Yu onto a floating stone.

“Wow, is Minister Yi actually so polite? Am I seeing things?”

Watching the cheerful conversation of Yi Yu and Bai Qi, Wang Chuan showed a dramatic expression, asking Tan Lang who was next to him.

“Minister Yi’s actions are none of our business. Just focus on doing your own job.”

Tan Lang gave Wang Chuan a sharp glare, stepping onto a floating stone and drifting towards Eden.

“Hey…Xusheng, do you know why?”

“No comment.”

Li Xusheng responded indifferently, and then leaped, landing directly onto the the floating stone with Bai Qi and the others.

“Xusheng, don’t be so cold to me. We’re going to be teammates.”

Wang Chuan was somewhat downcast. He tried to seek comfort from his teammates, but found that they had already set off and none of them showed any interest in talking to him.

“Hey, hey, hey, you guys wait for me.”

…

The floating island was not moving fast, and Bai Qi took the opportunity to look around carefully.

Other than the Starry Sky Gate they had just walked out of, there were quite a few more entrances and exits set up around Eden. He could vaguely see some floating stones moving closer to Eden with some people onboard.

“Minister Yi, you said before that some families from the Western Region would also attend, right?”

“Yes, but only a minority, mostly large families like the Bo Ge family or the Yixiu family are qualified to come here.”

Yi Yu nodded and said, “By the way, you might meet Dean and the others again.”

The Bo Ge family will also be here…

Bai Qi nodded with a peculiar shine in his eyes.

Should I find an excuse to compete with Ellis again?

Finally, the floating island landed on Eden, and a giant red wolf walked towards them.

“Mr. Yi Yu, the BOSS is already waiting for you inside.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ye Shijiu.”

Yi Yu nodded and casually jumped onto the back of the giant red wolf.

“I will walk there myself. Bai Qi, you go on.”

This time, Li Xusheng did not follow them but indicated Bai Qi to go instead.

Seeing this, Bai Qi was a bit confused. This guy had been acting a bit off since they entered Eden, especially after seeing this giant red wolf — it nearly spelled resistance on his face.

Wait a minute. Blood wolf, blood control?

Could it be that this wolf was a relative of Li Xusheng’s?

“Xusheng, don’t stand on ceremony with nineteen grandfather, come on.”

As Bai Qi was making wild guesses, Ye Shijiu suddenly opened his mouth. Upon hearing his words, Bai Qi almost burst out laughing.

Nineteen grandfather, so they really are relatives.

Upon hearing Ye Shijiu’s words, Li Xusheng’s face twisted. Just as he was about to refuse again, two arms of blood shot out from Ye Shijiu’s body, lifting Li Xusheng and Bai Qi straight onto his back.

Blood control, undoubtedly a relative.

Once everyone was safely onboard, Ye Shijiu did not disperse the blood, but turned it into three chairs to make them comfortable. Only then did he stride towards the center of Eden.

The blood wolf was very fast, reaching the destination in less than half a minute.

“I’m needed elsewhere to pick up others. Please, go inside, there are already quite a few people there.”

Ye Shijiu nodded gently to Yi Yu and the others, and disappeared again.

“Thank you.”

Yi Yu nodded, looking at the huge building in front of them, and said, “Bai Qi, Xusheng, let’s go.”

“Ok.”

Bai Qi nodded, looking around curiously like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden.

Nicholas, being the legendary creature he is, whether it’s the cave from the beginning, or the later Jade Valley, they all fell far short compared to this Eden.

It was Li Xusheng, who seemed reluctant to be here, always following silently behind the two without uttering a word.

The three walked on, passing through a stone gate carved with various creatures, and entered the giant building seemingly designed to accommodate titans.

As expected, the building was incredibly spacious with creatures of different shapes and sizes moving about. In contrast, it was the humans like them that seemed to be out of place.

“It’s not time for the banquet yet, we should rest first and gather our energy.”

Bai Qi nodded. Although he wasn’t sure what these Guardians were up to, it seemed safer to be prepared for anything.

“Xusheng? Why didn’t you come to see Grandma of 107 when you’re back?”

At this moment, a red cat fell from the sky, appearing displeased.

Grandma of 107?

Just how many relatives does Li Xusheng’s family have?

Also, it was a wolf just now, why has it turned into a cat now?
