Su Xi, along with the people around her, wore expressions of bewilderment, clearly not understanding what had happened.
In this situation, what should they do?
After the spatial collapse they had experienced, they discovered that the surrounding space was riddled with countless holes. A single misstep could lead to them falling in, with no hope of escape.
They were unable to leave at this moment.
After all, no one was confident they could leave without being affected by the spatial rifts.
After a lengthy brainstorming session, they ultimately decided to temporarily leave this place. Otherwise, if the spatial rifts struck again, they would be finished.
They would have nowhere to run and would be left to die.
However, even with the decision to leave, a new difficulty soon presented itself.
Where should they go?
The surrounding shattered space had become fragmented. No matter which direction they chose, it seemed unsafe.
A single mistake could lead to their utter ruin.
After all, a careless move wouldn't lead to their departure from this place, but rather their eternal confinement here, from which there would be no escape.
Even if they were to die, no one wished to perish in a foreign land.
Returning to their roots was the dream of every one of them.
"Let's go this way," Su Xi said after carefully observing the situation.
Hearing Su Xi's words, the others looked at her with a touch of curiosity.
Why was she so certain?
Had something changed around them that she could sense?
Su Xi pointed towards a dark area and replied, "Because this is what my feelings tell me."
...
Upon hearing Su Xi's declaration, the crowd's faces instantly showed disbelief, and they remained stunned for a long time.
In this moment of life and death, Su Xi claimed it was merely a feeling. Was she joking?
Had Su Xi given up, indifferent to life and death?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Su Xi smiled and said, "I was joking. Actually, the place I truly feel is powerful is because I sense vitality there."
This statement was not baseless; it was indeed the truth.
Through the retrieval of the supercomputer, it had been discovered that this place contained a significant amount of oxygen, even more concentrated than on Earth previously.
Such a high oxygen concentration was a clear indication of life.
Compared to the lifelessness of other areas, this place undoubtedly warranted exploration.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was an exit, if they wanted to avoid being swallowed by the spatial rifts, they had to try their luck.
After all, the most crucial thing now was to escape this forsaken place.
Otherwise, if faced with a spatial storm, they would not be able to cope.
The group couldn't think of a better solution at the moment, and upon hearing Su Xi's explanation, they nodded in agreement.
After all, as long as it was safer, any direction was acceptable.
If they didn't leave this place, they might never be able to.
As the group moved forward, their initial anxiety gradually turned into deeper confusion.
When Su Xi and the others arrived in this space, they felt a strange sense of bewilderment, not understanding the situation.
Because this place was not only devoid of danger but also lacked any spiritual energy.
People were also coming and going, leisurely attending to their own affairs.
"What is this place?" Li Ping asked Su Xi, unable to comprehend what he was seeing.
He had never seen anything like it.
In his memory, such things had never appeared before.
Apart from the people in front of them who resembled them, he saw nothing else familiar.
A piece of metal was moving along the road, and countless objects were flying in the sky, yet they didn't seem to require any magical power.
Su Xi's eyes widened with a lack of understanding.
How could this scene resemble Earth so much?
"Let's go and see," Su Xi said, starting to walk forward.
Only by going would they know if this place was what she imagined.
The others, unaware of the situation, had no strong opinions about Su Xi's invitation and followed her.
Arriving at a restaurant ahead, Su Xi sat down and began to order.
She hadn't eaten food from Earth in many years. While she didn't know what this place offered, she certainly couldn't miss out on delicious food.
The others, seeing Su Xi order so proficiently, sat obediently on their stools, awaiting their meal. Although they had cultivated for many years and didn't need to eat, it didn't mean they couldn't.
"Hmm?" The group took a bite and were instantly captivated.
Why was this food so delicious?
What a culinary delight!
"What is this place? Why is this food so good?" Lin Qing asked, swallowing his hamburger.
He had followed Tian Gang Zhenren for many years and had eaten many delicacies. Yet, he had never tasted anything like this.
The food contained no spiritual energy, but its taste was extraordinary.
Sweet, savory, and with a lingering aftertaste.
Su Xi glanced at Lin Qing and smiled, "This food contains additives."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Lin Qing's forehead was covered in black lines.
Could she explain it more clearly? He didn't understand any of this.
What were additives?
Su Xi smiled at Lin Qing and then said, "Now that you're here, have you noticed that you've lost your magical power?"
???
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, the others immediately checked themselves, wanting to know if this was true.
After their examination, they discovered that indeed, there was no fluctuation of magical power within them. They had completely become ordinary people.
Even Li Ping and Gui Lao, who had special physiques, had now become like normal individuals.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked at each other, their gazes finally settling on Su Xi.
At this moment, Su Xi was likely the only one who could understand their situation.
Su Xi's expression was also grim, not because she had lost her magical power.
After all, she had been without it for a long time before, so its absence now didn't matter.
Su Xi's current dilemma was that they were completely unprepared and, having been away for so long, had forgotten that they hadn't brought any money with them.
Without money, the situation would be very difficult.
Not paying for food would lead to serious trouble.
Seeing the worry on Su Xi's face, the others asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Xi didn't hide anything and revealed her lack of funds.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping's face showed surprise. "I have to pay for food?"
As an emperor, he had been accustomed to having everything provided since childhood.
Therefore, in his understanding, there was no such issue.
The idea of paying for something was abnormal.
Hearing Li Ping's words, Su Xi rolled her eyes.
Indeed, these emperors never knew the hardships of the common people and were impossible to communicate with.
They didn't even understand the importance of money.
What they needed to do now was to deal with the immediate situation.
Otherwise, if they couldn't handle the current circumstances, and this world dealt with them, they would be arrested.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Lin Qing produced a pile of spirit stones from his person. "This should be enough, right?"
The spirit stones in Lin Qing's hand were more than most ordinary sects could afford.
He believed it should be more than enough for a meal.
Su Xi looked at Lin Qing and opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
There was no spiritual energy in this world, so these people had no use for spirit stones. These spirit stones were useless to them.
They were even less valuable than ordinary rocks, at least those had a pleasant appearance.
Su Xi was confident that if she presented these spirit stones, she would be taken in for questioning and might never get out.
Lin Qing had unintentionally caused trouble.
"Let me handle it," Su Xi said, seeing the waiter's increasingly strange glances. She didn't have many other options.
The most important thing now was to pay.
Su Xi fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a bank card, handing it to the waiter.
Fortunately, she still had some savings from her time on Earth. Using it now should not be a problem.
After paying, Su Xi's lips twitched.
It was so expensive.
A single hamburger had cost a million.
This money was her savings from decades. She hadn't expected that just one meal would consume one-third of it.
This was terrifying.
With so many mouths to feed, the money in her card would likely run out within three days.
Then they would not only be sleeping on the streets but might also be left with nothing.
What should they do?
Lin Qing and the others also realized the severity of the problem and said, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible."
This place was too difficult, and there was no need to stay.
Therefore, for their safety, it was best to leave.
However, as they prepared to leave, they suddenly discovered they could no longer do so. The entrance they had come through was now closed, making escape impossible.
???
How could this be?
The situation was clear: they couldn't find a way to leave, which meant they were trapped here forever.
Knowing they couldn't leave for now, this wasn't the biggest issue.
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first," Su Xi said after some thought.
"Where are we going?" the others asked Su Xi, looking confused.
What were these people doing?
"Earning money," Su Xi said, looking at the people in front of her, her expression one of slight bewilderment.
Didn't they understand the gravity of the situation?
They were now ordinary people and would get hungry. Not eating for a day wouldn't be a problem, but not eating for a week could be fatal.
If they couldn't find a way to leave this place, they would surely die.
"Earning money?"
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Li Ping looked astonished.
In this situation, he clearly felt clueless.
He was an emperor, and now he had to work with his own hands.
Su Xi looked at Li Ping and smiled, "Do you want to starve?"
Su Xi's question instantly silenced Li Ping.
Starving was something he absolutely did not want.
Seeing Li Ping's lack of response, Su Xi looked at the others. "Do any of you have any objections now?"
