Yi Tianchen fell into deep thought.
His mind replayed countless doubts in an endless loop, and suddenly it felt as if there was a thin veil before him. If only he could gently pierce through it, he would be able to see everything that was concealed. However, at this moment, it seemed he was simply lacking the means to break through that veil.
"Do you know about the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array?"
Yi Tianchen took the initiative. Since the related discrepancies arose from fragments, the best way to solve the problem was naturally to start from the root.
The Old NPC looked slightly surprised and nodded. "The Five Elements Soul Sealing Array is a formation that harnesses the Ancient Five Elements Power. It is said to be able to seal a person's soul within it, preserving it for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without fading away. However, this array was not created by the races of the continent."
Yi Tianchen was left dumbfounded. Some connections seemed to link together again. If he remembered correctly, when obtaining the Elemental Fragment of Wood, General Lufeng had once candidly mentioned that the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array could only operate with the aid of Ancient Five Elements Power.
This aligned with what the Old NPC had said. In other words, the fragments needed for the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—should indeed be what is referred to as Ancient Five Elements Power.
But the crux of the problem was...
If what the Old NPC said was true, and this Five Elements Soul Sealing Array was indeed not created by the races of the continent, then what it implied was none other than the Otherworldly Race that invaded the continent back in the day. Coupled with Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City's claim that General Lufeng was a traitor...
"Damn it!"
Yi Tianchen felt conflicted. If this hypothesis held true, could General Lufeng really be a traitor?
But if that were indeed the case, what secrets had General Lufeng and the other four generals sacrificed their lives to protect? What exactly lay hidden behind this Five Elements Soul Sealing Array? What did this mysterious Ancient Five Elements Power truly represent?
Countless mysteries offered no answers, and Yi Tianchen ceased his internal struggle, succumbing to despair.
"Um... Elder, I don't want to know about Ancient Five Elements Power or the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array anymore. I just want to know how I can leave this place. Please guide me!" Yi Tianchen clasped his hands in a bow, returning to his status as a mere player.
"Ha ha... In this vast world, everything follows a certain order. Now that you have been expelled from the Human Faction, it is absolutely impossible for you to return," the Old NPC said meaningfully. "Unless you can find a place to take you in within twenty-four hours of leaving here."
"What do you mean?" Yi Tianchen asked, feeling somewhat confused.
"In other words, if you insist on leaving, I can grant you twenty-four hours of freedom. However, if during these twenty-four hours you cannot find a new faction to shelter you, you will be sent to the Death Abyss at the bottom of the continent, where you will never rise again!"
"......"
Yi Tianchen was speechless for a moment; this sounded terrifying.
In all known game data, there was only one Human Faction! Although dwarves and elves still lived on this continent, both races had long since fallen. If there were any place that could take him in, it could only be...
Undead?
At this thought, Yi Tianchen's heart skipped a beat. That's right! When he had asked Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn about the method to break the seal of Shattered Dream, he had mentioned an exclusive existence related to the Undead—the Blood Phantom Alliance!
However, that seemed to have been five hundred years ago.
"Do you know about the Blood Phantom Alliance?" Yi Tianchen pondered for a moment and could only place all his hopes on this Old NPC before him.
Upon hearing this, the Old NPC was slightly taken aback and nodded with a mix of surprise and relief. "I never expected that after five hundred years, I would still hear the words 'Blood Phantom Alliance' from a young person. It's rare—truly rare!"
"You know?" Yi Tianchen was overjoyed.
"Five hundred years ago, humans slaughtered the entire Blood Phantom Empire. Princess Sheryl founded the Blood Phantom Alliance with the hope of one day rebuilding the Blood Phantom Empire and restoring its former glory, winning a land for all Undead!"
"Where can I find the Blood Phantom Alliance?"
"After the fall of the Blood Phantom Empire, the Blood Phantom Alliance has been repeatedly hunted by humans, growing weaker by the day, and has retreated deep into the Bloodshade Forest..."
"Where is the Bloodshade Forest?" Yi Tianchen was becoming increasingly impatient.
"Kid, don't be so hasty. I'm only telling you this because I sense the Undead aura in you. The Blood Phantom Alliance is in dire need of fresh blood right now; your chance of joining might not be small..."
"Absolutely! To be honest, I am the sole inheritor of Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss in this world!"
"......"
The Old NPC was rarely left speechless, his eyes widening as he scrutinized Yi Tianchen, seemingly talking to himself: "No wonder there's an Undead mark deep within your soul, hahahaha... So you're an Undead infiltrating the Human Faction?"
"......"
Yi Tianchen continued to be speechless, awkwardly smiling as he said, "Um... could you please just tell me how to find the Blood Phantom Alliance?"
"Kid, do you see that patch of forest over there?"
The Old NPC nimbly jumped onto a collapsed mud wall and pointed toward the distant east, declaring sternly, "That is the Bloodshade Forest. However, it has been under human blockade for some time. To enter the Bloodshade Forest, you'll have to fight your way through, but with your current strength, your chances are practically zero!"
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but feel tears streaming down his face; it seemed like this was indeed true!
But whether it was a negative or positive situation, there was no other path to take at that moment. With one last effort, perhaps he could grasp that faint hope, even if it meant being thrown into the so-called Death Abyss. At least there was still the option to delete his account and start over.
"I have to give it a try, no matter what!" Yi Tianchen declared resolutely.
"Very well, young man! You must have that spirit!" the Old NPC praised him, but then added a word of caution, "However, you need to think this through carefully. Not to mention whether you can successfully enter the Bloodshade Forest, just getting past the swirling sands outside the Exile Zone might be a challenge!"
"There’s nothing difficult in this world; I won’t resign myself to fate!"
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly, glancing at the System time—it was exactly four thirty in the afternoon. He said earnestly, "Old man, stop hesitating. I'm ready."
Nodding slightly, the Old NPC ceased his chatter and instead unfolded a brilliant white light, forming a threshold before Yi Tianchen. "Step across, and you will no longer belong to the Exile Zone. No force will be able to confine you; may everything turn out well!"
Looking at the Old NPC with a serious nod, Yi Tianchen took a deep breath and stepped forward. A prompt sounded in his ears---
System Prompt: You have escaped the control of the Exile Zone. You are currently in an unaligned state and have gained twenty-four hours of freedom. After twenty-four hours, you will still remain unaligned and will be transported to the Death Abyss, unable to join any faction!
