"Where on earth have we ended up? I want to go home..." Some female students couldn't help but cry out.

"Another five-colored altar..." Pang Bo and Ye Fan stood together, exchanging glances before shaking their heads. They had been best friends in college and often met after graduation. They understood each other well, and now both felt that the situation was grim, filled with unknowns and variables.

At this moment, the others also withdrew their gazes from the vast desert and anxiously scanned their surroundings.

The huge bronze coffin lay overturned behind them, and beneath it was a massive five-colored stone altar, very similar to the giant altar they had seen on Mount Tai, built from five different colored stones.

The five-colored stone altar covered a vast area, and one could imagine that its construction must have been a huge project back in the day. However, after years of wind and sand erosion, the giant altar, which should have towered above the ground, was almost entirely buried, now level with the reddish-brown gravel-covered ground.

Today, the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin to this place, and their heavy impact on the ground shook away the surrounding gravel, revealing the general outline of the altar. Not only was the huge bronze coffin lying horizontally on the altar, but the nine colossal dragon corpses were also pressed on top, showing the grandness of the five-colored stone altar.

"We... are lost, and we can't find our way back." A fragile female student cried out, her body shaking. If it weren't for someone supporting her, she would have already collapsed.

Many people were pale-faced. At this moment, everyone thought of various possibilities, and the scene before them resembled a strange world. No one wanted to accept this reality, but the absence of Mount Tai and the vast desert in front of them left them no choice but to remain silent.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid, there will be a solution." Ye Fan shouted loudly.

"How can we solve this? How can we go back? How can we... escape from this strange world?" Even some male students' voices were trembling at this moment, filled with intense fear and unease.

The unknown can fill some people with awe and fear, while it can also inspire others to explore and seek answers.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo walked forward, avoiding the nine colossal dragon corpses, trying to get a better look at their surroundings.

Li Xiaoman was not far away, seemingly feeling cold, hugging her arms. Her beautiful face was somewhat pale, but she still appeared calm, like a delicate lotus blooming in the darkness. As Ye Fan passed by, he took off his coat and handed it to her, but she just said thank you and shook her head, refusing his offer.

Ye Fan didn't say much; he didn't want to salvage anything. He put on his coat and continued walking forward with Pang Bo. Bypassing the huge dragon corpses and bronze coffin, they saw Li Xiaoman's American classmate, Cade, also observing the nearby situation, occasionally exclaiming "God" in surprise.

Not far from the five-colored stone altar was a huge rock lying horizontally, with a height of over twenty meters, but the slope was not very steep, making it possible to climb.

Ye Fan was about 1.79 meters tall, and although his appearance seemed gentle, his body was actually very strong. He used to be a main player on the school's soccer team and was often called a barbarian on the field.

As his name suggests, Pang Bo had a "magnificent" presence, but he wasn't fat; he was truly strong and had a burly figure. His arms were almost as thick as an average person's legs.

Both of them had excellent physical fitness, so they ran quickly in front of the giant rock and climbed up without being careful. Standing on the rock and looking into the distance, they saw faint glimmers of light shining through the darkness, which surprised them both.

"We probably won't be able to go back." Ye Fan directly shared his speculation and judgment with his best friend, saying, "This place is definitely not the same spacetime as ours."

"This is indeed not the spacetime we were in." Although Pang Bo was usually carefree, he never joked when it came to serious matters. He stared at the faint halo in the distance and frowned, "Do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Ye Fan was also gazing at the faint light in the distance and said, "We've already seen dragon corpses; I wouldn't be surprised if a living deity appeared before us."

"What would it be like if a living deity appeared before us..." Pang Bo murmured.

There was a noise from behind, and the nearly 1.9-meter-tall Cade climbed onto the giant rock. When he saw the light in the distance, he immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"Praise... the merciful God, I... have seen the light," he said in not-so-fluent Chinese, then turned around and waved vigorously, shouting at Li Xiaoman in the crowd, "I have seen... the light!" After that, he climbed down from the giant rock and rushed towards Li Xiaoman.

Cade's shout instantly caused chaos among the crowd, and many people ran towards them.

Pang Bo glanced at Li Xiaoman and Cade standing together not far away, and said to Ye Fan, "Is that foreigner really Li Xiaoman's boyfriend?"

"How should I know?"

"Are you really giving up just like that?" Pang Bo glanced at him.

"Some things, even if they can start over, are hard to return to the original point. Even if it's the same path, you can't have the same feeling when you pass through it twice in life. Those are things of the past; people need to move forward." Ye Fan shook his head and then, as if remembering something, laughed, "You're the one who's carefree, with your colorful nightlife."

"I despise you. My life is nowhere near as rich as yours." Pang Bo glanced at Ye Fan and then at Li Xiaoman not far away, "Relying on a man's intuition, I always feel that something will happen between you two."

"Don't ruin my reputation." Ye Fan laughed and said, "Do you also have a sixth sense like women?"

At this moment, perhaps only the two of them could still laugh. Neither of them was pessimistic, and it was difficult for them to be sad no matter what happened.

Soon, many people climbed the huge rock, looking into the distance. The faint light was like a firefly flickering, piercing the dark space and appearing before everyone's eyes. Although the light source was not bright, it ignited hope for many people, and some female students cheered.

There was a faint light ahead, still full of unknowns, but everyone wanted to move forward. Perhaps it was human nature to fear darkness and yearn for light.

"Please don't let us down."

"Let's hope a miracle will happen."

People climbed down the giant rock one after another and gathered in front of the five-colored altar to discuss strategies.

"Everything here is unfamiliar to us. Even if there's light ahead, we should be careful." Wang Ziwen suggested cautiously.

Zhou Yi, who had been calm all along, nodded and said, "That's right. Let's send a few people to scout ahead first. That light doesn't seem too far away, just in case."

Everyone agreed. No one could predict the unknown path ahead, and it was best to be cautious in an unfamiliar environment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent vibration came, and the bronze coffin on the five-colored altar emitted a metallic tremor.

"What happened?"

"I feel like the sound came from inside the bronze coffin." The female student closest to the bronze coffin turned pale and said.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. They knew that there was a small bronze coffin with a corpse inside the large coffin.
