A fist imbued with boundless light and heat fiercely struck the ten-thousand-meter-tall, bizarre giant serpent!
The mere radiance emanating from the fist filled the peculiar cube, as vast as a continent, completely.
Light and heat now possessed tangible pressure. Facing Chen Luo’s attack, the Apostles, under the threat of life and death, frantically activated the power of their battle armor.
But it was useless!
In an instant, over a dozen Apostles, along with the grotesque giant serpent that devoured them, were reduced to fundamental particles by Chen Luo’s punch!
Chen Luo’s momentum did not diminish. A colossal fist imprint, carrying terrifying light and heat, slammed towards the edge of the cube!
BOOM!!!
With a deafening explosion, the walls of the peculiar cube, of indeterminate material, shattered!
Endless light and heat, as if finding an outlet, surged outwards wildly!
[You instantly killed the Void Giant Serpent, gaining partial information about it.]

...
It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like only an instant.
The thunderous roar and intense heat completely dissipated.
Chen Luo, clad in a silver-grey battle robe, stood tall in the center of the cube.
Directly in front of him, the massive barrier that had sealed the space had completely vanished.
A colossal circular crater, large enough for continental plates to pass through, was now conspicuously embedded where the wall once stood.
At the edges of the crater, large amounts of specially-made metal still glowed with incandescent light, flowing downwards along the crater's rim in a liquid state.
On the other side of the crater, a body of water appeared, which Chen Luo found eerily familiar.
As Chen Luo’s vision cleared and he saw everything on the water's surface, his expression changed for the first time:
"Where is this?!"
————
As Chen Luo descended into this unknown cubic world via elevator, the Ninth Game World, situated in the outermost void, underwent a truly astonishing transformation!
Within the Resistance Army's headquarters, with Long Niang and Xiao Yue present, even the descent of Apostle-level monsters posed no threat to the inhabitants.
But before they could relax, Long Niang, who was lying supine above the city, suddenly changed her expression:
"What is this fluctuation?!"
Buzz!
The spatial rifts that had been appearing worldwide abruptly paused.
The Apostle-level monsters advancing towards the Nine Dragon Headquarters, and the frenzied tide of monsters descending throughout the world, all looked towards the sky, guided by some unknown will!
The next moment!
An immeasurably vast shadow briefly revealed itself from beyond the sky!
BOOM!!!
Terrifying explosive sounds reverberated madly across the entire planet. All the monsters that had entered this world during the recent monster tide, regardless of their strength, were instantly blown into dust!
Amidst endless death and the sacrifice of blood, a rift the size of a planet suddenly appeared beyond the planet itself!
The moment the rift appeared, under an irresistible gravitational pull, the Ninth Game World was violently pulled into the rift!
In some unknown location,
The ear of the man who was currently the sole possessor of player status in this world was met with a prompt from the Doomsday Game:
[High-level intervention detected! Ninth Game World has fallen!]
[Warning! Ninth Game World has fallen into the Outer Void - River of Void!]
[Great Source Defense activated! The Source Sun continues to shine upon this place!]
[First Chapter power restrictions lifted!]
[Second Chapter arrival time significantly advanced!]
[In seven days! The second chapter of the Doomsday Game will officially descend upon this world!]
[Warning! Due to the player's actions having a direct causal relationship with the world's fall! The game will impose a penalty upon you!]
[According to the First Principle! The game is about to strip you of your player identity!!!]
[The only surviving player in this world currently is "Long Jiu!"]
[Your player identity has been stripped! We wish you the best!]
"Heh, Doomsday Game? Higher beings?"
——————
The void is the confluence of infinite information and energy.
The void itself, however, has many layers.
Setting aside the material realm of the outermost void, it is the world most suitable for material planets to survive.
And this place is a deeper layer of the void!
Outer Void - River of Void!
This is the limit for lower-tier worlds to survive. After the Ninth Game World was dragged here, a layer of very faint, pale white light enveloped the entire planet.
This is the Great Source of the Ninth Game World, instinctively providing protection to the world to resist the impact of the River of Void!
Outside the milky white protective shield, a colossal black cube, as large as a continent, was tightly affixed to the outside of the world.
In the material realm, this cube could not be observed by humans for reasons unknown.
But now, under the impact of the River of Void, this peculiar cube also revealed itself.
Suddenly, before the planet that had just fallen into the River of Void and the cube had fully stabilized,
At the center of a black plane facing outwards on the peculiar cube, a trace of red light suddenly ignited.
With the appearance of that red light, the entire cube seemed to receive some sort of stimulus and began to tremble violently!
But this trembling ended in an instant.
Because the red light on the black plane, in a mere moment, turned incandescent white!
Then, a terrifying torrent of energy violently pierced through the black plane and directly blasted into the River of Void!
As the light dissipated, Chen Luo stood at the edge of the broken opening in the cube, gazing at the familiar scenery before him with astonishment:
"River of Void?!"
"Oh? You recognize this place too? Outsider." A calm voice suddenly sounded from above Chen Luo.
Chen Luo was startled and looked towards the source of the voice.
It was at the very top edge of the entire cube.
There, a middle-aged man with white hair and black eyes was suspended outside the cube, looking at the planet connected behind the cube with a rather complex expression.
Within the pale white light shield, the planet continued to rotate quietly.
Boundless oceans embraced a complete central continent.
When viewed from outside the planet, a grand and ancient aura naturally emanated.
But both Chen Luo and this man knew that this planet had arrived in an extremely dangerous world.
After gazing at the world for a moment, the man lowered his head, smiled at Chen Luo, and slowly said:
"Outsider, welcome to my world."
"How is it, isn't she truly beautiful?"
Looking at Chen Luo, who was on guard and unwilling to respond.
The smile on the man's face gradually faded, and a sense of authority quietly emerged:
"First meeting, outsider!"
"I am the master of the Nine Dragon World."
"Long Jiu."
