UNDER the gentle luminosity of the moon, they stood transfixed by the breathtaking panorama that unfolded before them. A tapestry of enchantment stretched as far as the eye could see. Towering trees reached skyward, their silhouettes adorned with leaves that shimmered like silver. Soft moonlight caressed the landscape, casting an ethereal glow upon the meandering streams that meandered through the terrain.
The air was filled with a tranquil stillness, disturbed only by the hushed whispers of nocturnal creatures. Flowers of vibrant hues dotted the meadows, their petals aglow with a delicate luminescence. Each petal seemed to radiate a soft light, illuminating the surroundings with an otherworldly beauty. The interplay of light and shadow painted a scene that felt like stepping into a realm untouched by mortal hands.
As their gaze swept across the landscape, they marveled at the seamless fusion of nature and moonlight. The moon's ethereal touch turned the ordinary into the extraordinary, transforming the familiar into a dreamscape of wonder. In that moment, they became part of a world where reality shimmered with a touch of enchantment, a place where the moon's gentle embrace breathed life into every blade of grass and every dancing leaf.
"Wow. This place was definitely well thought out," Bai Ze said as he looked around. "They definitely put a lot of work on this."
Luo Yan couldn't agree more. This place was on par, no probably even prettier than the place where the King's castle was.
"But where are the others?" Luo Jin asked.
They seemed to be near the summit of some mountain. As evidence of their high vantage point, allowing them to see the majority of this new area.
"Maybe each team was teleported to different parts of this area," Bai Ze said.
"But why? I mean, wouldn't it save more time if we were just directly teleported to the venue along with the other teams?" Luo Jin reasoned.
"Maybe this place is the whole venue," Su Yuqi said with a shrug. "Or, since the opening ceremony is being broadcasted live, maybe there's an option to follow a specific team and see the place using that team's perspective."
Luo Yan nodded. Agreeing to the latter part of what Su Yuqi said. That was a great way to introduce this new area without allotting time to introduce the whole place. Considering how wide this new area was, an introduction would definitely take a lot of time from the opening ceremony. So, why not just let the other players discovered it for themselves?
"Then, until when are were going to just wait here?" Luo Jin asked, crossing his arms.
As if to answer his question, a pillar of light suddenly struck in front of them. The moment it disappeared, something similar to a transparent bridge appeared. And then they saw a horse-drawn carriage going towards them.
When the carriage neared, they noticed that the horses were not ordinary horses. The horses had luminous coats, glowing with the brilliance of the moon itself.
The carriage stopped in front of them. There was no NPC acting as a coachman, but the door of the carriage opened by itself, as if telling them to go inside. The six people walked inside with three people sitting on each side, facing each other. As soon as they sat down, the carriage moved.
"Is this going to be the mode of transport here?" Bai Ze said while looking outside the carriage window.
In the distant, he could see a couple of the same carriage going in the same direction. They were all traveling on the same transparent bridge. Anyone would quickly wonder where this bridge would take them.
As the carriage made its way to its destination, the people inside also saw more of this newly opened area. The more they saw, the more it proved just how magical it was. It's not only beautiful, there's just something about the atmosphere that made the place ethereal.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop. The carriage door opened automatically again and the six people inside got off the carriage one by one.
Luo Yan looked up and almost whistled when he saw the structure in front of them.
Before them stood an extraordinary stadium, crafted entirely of shimmering glass. Bathed in the moon's celestial glow, the transparent structure seemed to radiate its own ethereal luminescence. Tall pillars and graceful arches supported a majestic canopy that arched overhead, as if capturing the moon's own enchanting embrace. The stadium's translucent walls, kissed by the moon's gentle touch, revealed a tantalizing glimpse of the kind of vibrant activities that would be held within.
It was not only them who looked at the stadium with amazement in their eyes. The other teams who arrived at the same time also looked at it with awe. The fact that this stadium was floating above this whole area only made it more magical.
There was a transparent parking space surrounding the whole stadium where the carriages of each team stopped. The fact that this space could accommodate all the teams present showed just how big it was. Not to mention this whole area where this stadium was floating.
Just then, a small fairy with silvery wings flew in front of them.
[Welcome team Yunyue! Please follow me, I will lead you to your seats.]
They heard an energetic voice inside their head. Obviously, it was the fairy's voice.
After saying that, it flew forward and the six people really had no choice but to follow.
As they were walking inside, Luo Yan received a notification. After reading it, the corner of his lips turned up in a mischievous arc. Since the other members of his team were busy looking around, no one noticed when he slowed down and walked at the very end of the line.
He contacted Eclipse telepathically. [It's time. You know what to do, right?]
Eclipse, who was just walking in front of Luo Yan, said, [Don't worry, Master. Leave everything to Eclipse!]
Luo Yan stealthily slipped away, while Eclipse transformed into him when the group was about to go around a corner. Because of that, no one noticed anything.
