After paying five grade 3 magic crystals per person, Ye Zhongming and his two companions entered the brightwater realm.
In such a clearly subspace area, regardless of who it was, everyone would be on guard during their first entry.
As they passed through a gel-like doorway, there was an uncanny feeling of the body separating from the soul.
However, once inside, a vibrant sense of renewal and opportunity immediately washed over them.
Perhaps due to the name "brightwater realm," the space was very bright; when they looked up, they could see water-like lights rippling in the air.
A pleasant, faint aroma wafted through the space, though they couldn’t tell its source.
The ground was made of pale blue crystals, producing a metallic sound when stepped on.
The surrounding area was vast, with various colors of light intertwining, obscuring what was happening within them.
The colors slowly shifted, vaguely following a certain pattern.
Some people with keen senses felt that the space was fixed by certain rules, which were nearly impossible to alter by human effort.
Ye Zhongming looked around, guessing and probing this place.
In the left front of the entrance, there was a magnificent white jade area designed like a garden, with many evolvers coming and going.
On the right front, there were rows of silver metal dining tables with all kinds of exquisite food displayed.
The ingredients were evidently styled in a post-apocalyptic manner, but the presentation and taste reflected the customs of a large high-end banquet from peacetime.
Among the food items, one could even see some vegetables and desserts, and next to them were at least dozens of famous wines from both domestic and foreign origins.
Some evolvers were selecting food, but they maintained decorum, as if entering this place had completely separated them from the outside apocalypse, altering their demeanor.
At that moment, a group of people arrived from behind, numbering in the hundreds, all well-equipped, averaging at the white level.
Among them, four or five leading individuals shone with a green light, and one of them wore a blue-level wristband.
Accompanying the leaders was a person from the five rings society, whom Ye Zhongming didn’t recognize, but he recognized the badge worn on this person’s chest.
It was the same style as that of Liu Chengyu, who had traded with him before, indicating this person held a high status, likely a close confidant of a steward.
The people he accompanied were undoubtedly part of a significant force.
What drew Ye Zhongming and his companions' attention was not their equipment, as such gear was of Cloud Summit's level from a year ago, but rather that this group was heading directly toward the colorful lights.
Upon getting closer, the five rings society member took out a slender wooden stick about twenty centimeters long and waved it at the lights, which immediately parted to reveal a hidden world behind.
Once this group entered, the lights returned to their original state.
This miraculous scene left many newly arrived evolvers in awe. In the apocalypse, truly, too many marvelous things could happen.
"Newly arrived evolvers, please come over here to register and then receive your nameplates. This will be your only proof for this journey, and you will need this nameplate for subsequent activities. So, please take care of it,"
a graceful female voice called from the entrance of the white jade garden.
Everyone looked over to see a beautiful woman in a simple-colored qipao smiling at them, urging them to go to the garden to collect their nameplates.
The newcomers hurried over, and Zhao Xiangxue naturally wanted to take charge of this matter, signaling Ye Zhongming to ask what their name would be.
"Let’s just call ourselves the 'Three Travelers,'" Ye Zhongming suggested.
Zhao Xiangxue’s lips moved slightly as she bent down to pick up the nameplate, feeling helpless about Ye Zhongming's dismissive attitude.
Before long, they obtained the nameplates, surprisingly totaling three... each costing two grade 3 magic crystals.
