When Qian Yu and the people from Tang Sect came to their senses, they found themselves shrouded in a dense fog, with a feeling of palpitations rising from the depths of their hearts…
Xu Sanshi rubbed his head, "Where is this? I feel like I can't breathe."
Qian Yu said gravely, "We should now have been sucked into the source of that golden and silver light!"
Tang Ya, with her beautiful eyes, looked at the strange landscape that appeared in front of them, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Everyone, quick, look there! What is that?"
Everyone's gaze turned forward, and what met their eyes was a glistening deep lake, surrounded by countless winding mountains…
The most distinctive feature was that at the very center of the lake, as though divided into two poles, there emitted rays of golden light and silver light, each not encroaching upon the other!
As time passed, these lights became richer, gradually forming the different illusions of the sun and the moon, making one involuntarily sink into this wonderful world again…
Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes lit up, "Such a beautiful lake…"
Ma Xiaotao said aloud, "Who would have thought that there is such a separate world inside here, deliberately drawing us in. I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Huo Yuhao, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had an epiphany, exclaiming, "I remember now! Sister Tang Ya, Big Brother Beibei, and everyone else! This is the Valley of Cosmic Love!!"
Tang Ya and Beibei exchanged looks, and their pupils shrank sharply, "The Valley of Cosmic Love! Could it be…"
The Valley of Cosmic Love was a place they had both encountered in their records! It was the foremost of the three treasure troves!
It was rumored that one could find great opportunities in the Valley of Cosmic Love, but also there was a high chance of dying there!
And what would determine these outcomes was the true love between couples!
Qian Yu, beside them, furrowed his brows, puzzled, "The Valley of Cosmic Love? What place is this?"
He had never heard of it before and figured Huo Yuhao and the others must have learned of this place from the records of the Tang Sect!
Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "There's no time! Everyone remember! No matter what happens! You must tell the truth, or we're risking our lives!"
Just as he finished speaking, everyone's bodies once again shone with light and disappeared from the spot…
…
Waking from dizziness, Qian Yu suddenly coughed twice, "Cough cough…"
Then, he glanced around the ground and his surroundings…
Beneath his feet, there was a faint golden circular pillar supporting him…
And so it was with Tang Ya, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Tang Wutong, each standing alone on a circular pillar! They could barely see each other with the naked eye!
Tang Ya's concerned voice came over, "Is everyone all right?"
Xu Sanshi asked in confusion, "Hmm?? Are you guys talking?? Hey hey! Respond to me!"
Beibei also said, "Can everyone hear me? If you can hear, respond back!"
Jiang Nannan's expression darkened as she looked around at the others, "It seems our voices are being blocked, we can only see each other with our eyes, unable to communicate."
Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes anxiously watched over Tang Ya and the others, his expression grave, "Even our voices are blocked? I hope everyone remembers what I said!"
Meanwhile, Tang Wutong was recalling what Huo Yuhao had said before…
She muttered to herself, "Although I'm not sure what this place is, as long as we know the answer is to tell the truth, that's enough!"
Since their voices couldn't carry, everyone used gestures to express that they were okay…
Just as they were using gestures to communicate, the platform connected to their circular pillars began erupting with blinding golden light…
Following that, a cold mechanical voice rang out in the whole space, "The Challenge of Cosmic Love, the adventure of truth, begins!"
Qian Yu's mouth twitched, "Is it for real? The Challenge of Cosmic Love?"
A beam of light erupted from beneath the platform, beginning to spin wildly, and at the same time, everyone's field of view began to be obstructed, only becoming clear when the beam passed below someone's pillar…
The beam of light spun three full rotations and then gradually slowed down, finally coming to a stop beneath Xu Sanshi's pillar…
Following this, Xu Sanshi felt like he couldn't move, and the pillar below him started rising slowly, his face spreading with a hint of panic…
Xu Sanshi cursed, "Damn it, why does it have to be me first? What the hell am I supposed to do?"
Before he could finish his complaints, a voice that only he could hear clearly rang out—it was the same mechanical voice from before...
"Do you have a lover?"
Xu Sanshi cursed, "Bullshit! Of course, I do! You think I'm like you, someone who doesn't understand love, you piece of...blargh."
He felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood...
The other Tang Sect members who couldn't hear the voice were alarmed to see Xu Sanshi spitting blood strangely and exclaimed, "Sanshi???"
"Sanshi!! Are you alright?"
"Could Senior Brother Xu have been disobedient or lied in his response?"
"Xu Sanshi! Tell the truth, ahh!"
"Causing injury out of thin air? This place really isn't simple..."
But no matter how they called out to him, Xu Sanshi could never hear any voice...
Yet Xu Sanshi, who realized they were making gestures asking about his well-being, gestured with his hand to indicate he was not seriously hurt.
Then, the voice echoed in Xu Sanshi's ear once more, "Do you have a lover?"
Xu Sanshi had to reply, "Yes!"
He cursed inwardly, "This guy resorts to violence without a second word—was it just for insulting it once?"
Following that, the cold mechanical voice rang out again, "Who is your lover?"
Xu Sanshi slowly said, "Jiang Nannan!"
His words were completely subconscious, and in his heart, there was only Jiang Nannan!
Suddenly, on the other side, Jiang Nannan too began to radiate golden light, her face full of surprise as she looked down at the rising pedestal beneath her feet...
Although she didn't know what had just happened to Xu Sanshi, that question must relate to her!
"Do you have a lover?" the cold mechanical voice asked Jiang Nannan alone.
Jiang Nannan glanced over at Xu Sanshi with her beautiful eyes and calmly said, "Yes."
The mechanical voice pursued, "Who is your lover? Is it him?"
Jiang Nannan bit her lip, "It's him, Xu Sanshi."
"Do you truly love him? If he lost everything, would you still love him?"
Jiang Nannan was silent for a few seconds, then asserted firmly, "I would!"
Xu Sanshi, seeing Jiang Nannan's response on the other side, heaved a sigh of relief. But just then, the voice echoed in his ears again...
"She said she would love you even if you lost everything. If she lost everything, would you love her?"
Xu Sanshi asserted resolutely, "I would!"
At the same time his words fell, Jiang Nannan's cheeks on the other side began to decay frantically, transforming into a hideous visage in an instant...
Jiang Nannan, by the reflection on the ground, saw her own appearance and couldn't help but shed a few clear tears, "Wuuu ..."
When Xu Sanshi saw Jiang Nannan had turned into such a state, his eyes gradually reddened with rage as he roared, "Are you asking for death, you bastard? How dare you do this to Nannan!!"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest again, and even the bile rose up to be vomited out...
The cold voice, now with a warning tone, said, "Insult me one more time, and your life will be forfeited."
It continued to press, "If she remains like this forever, would you still love her?"
Xu Sanshi's eyes were fixed on the horrendously disfigured Jiang Nannan, who now looked nothing like a normal woman, and he couldn't help but fall silent...
