That day, the group observed the black hole that appeared out of thin air in the courtyard until the sky slowly brightened and the stars vanished.
Feeling that there was nothing more to be discovered and already a bit tired from traveling day and night, they stayed in the guest rooms of the Celestial Master’s Mansion for the night.
...
...
Atlantis, near the university.
Lin Beichen looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of him and the pedestrians of different skin colors.
The sense of loneliness in a foreign land arose from his heart.
Whether it was the architectural style or the facades of the shops in the alleys, all were very different from those in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Except for those familiar global chain stores, the rest were mostly unseen back home.
Walking along, he came to a small stream, with most pedestrians wearing headphones, rushing past without stopping. Only a few elderly people sat by the riverside, chatting and laughing.
Lin Beichen himself didn’t know where to go or where he might feel the presence of new elements; everything was left to fate.
Fortunately, during his university classes, he reached the highest level in Atlantis’s language courses, making basic communication no problem. With some time, he might even pass the eighth level or higher.
He could read road signs and storefront labels.
Following the stream, he arrived at a wide lake surface where the stream collected, forming a lake about the size of two or three football fields.
In the middle of the lake was a pavilion, surrounded by water and connected by only a wooden bridge. As there was no one around, Lin Beichen walked over.
In the center of the pavilion, only a bamboo mat was laid out, unlike the stone tables and benches common in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Lin Beichen sat down cross-legged, with the breeze lifting the aquatic grass on the lake surface, carrying the fresh scent of nature.

Lin Beichen closed his eyes and entered a state of enlightenment.
Quietly, he felt the presence of the surrounding elements, hoping to discover new elements in this foreign land.
Slowly, his mental realm became ethereal, naturally blocking out the surrounding noise, leaving only the sound of the breeze over the lake and the flowing river.
After sitting for more than half an hour, Lin Beichen felt very disappointed.
This place, with its clear air and spiritual land, would have had many elderly fishing if it were in the Great Xia Kingdom. But in Atlantis, pedestrians seemed to be in a hurry and uninterested in leisurely activities. It was a rather special day.
The entire lakeside was sparsely populated.
Even the elderly who had been sitting by the stream earlier had disappeared.
Lin Beichen felt a twinge of suspicion, a sense of alertness flashed in his mind, a feeling of unease emanated from deep within; this was very unusual.
Suddenly, a special iron net shot out from underwater, spread out in the center of the pavilion, and instantly enveloped Lin Beichen, moving with extreme speed.
Although Lin Beichen sensed something, it happened too suddenly. The net came from underwater behind him, and after being wrapped, a great force pulled him underwater before he could tear the net apart.
The whole process took less than three seconds; it happened in the blink of an eye. A person disappeared from the pavilion and was dragged into the lake, vanishing beneath the surface.
No one noticed that Lin Beichen was being continuously dragged deeper underwater by the iron net.
He was pulled down to a depth of over ten meters, seemingly not having reached the bottom yet.
A sunken ship came into Lin Beichen’s view as he continued to descend, with the net’s pulling force connected to the ship via a line.
At the lake bottom, near the not-so-large ship, appeared more than ten figures, each holding a sharp long knife still emitting a cold shine underwater.
Over ten people surrounded Lin Beichen.
The iron net continued to tighten until it securely bound Lin Beichen, the ship’s paddles then stopped spinning.
Over ten people, dressed in diving suits and carrying oxygen tanks, saw Lin Beichen firmly trapped in the net.
Two of them put away their long knives, took out handcuffs, and approached, worried he might escape, adding three layers of handcuffs to his hands and feet.
Only then did the group breathe a sigh of relief, gathered around, and looked at the securely bound Lin Beichen, as if admiring their masterpiece.
Griffin’s order was to immediately pierce Lin Beichen with long knives upon capture, ensuring his instant death.
But the dozen Death Warriors felt that the specially reinforced iron net was several times stronger than forged steel!
The cable used on bridges was made of this material, but it was compressed and even stronger. Plus, several pairs of handcuffs were added, making it impossible for an average person to escape.
This series of restraints was the greatest respect for a Superpower User.
The group weighed their long knives, eyes united, waiting for Lin Beichen’s oxygen to run out, anticipating the scene of him struggling desperately but unable to break free, until he finally died of suffocation.
For this reason, they did not immediately use the long knives to stab him.
But to their shock, something astonishing happened.
Five minutes!
Ten minutes!
Twenty minutes!
Approaching thirty minutes, more than ten people looked at each other in shock; this far exceeded normal human breath-holding capabilities.
But Lin Beichen showed no signs of trying to escape or becoming agitated, instead remaining very calm, with closed eyes as if resting.
