The street portal was so simple that naturally, it wouldn’t look too impressive.

Gu Xi pushed open the door of a teleportation point and found some waste paper littered on the ground.

Some contact details were also written on the door frame of the teleportation point.

Most were selling fake drugs, while others were assassins or other professions trying to drum up business here.

Gu Xi merely glanced at it and then pushed open the Teleportation Gate to enter.

As he stepped in, a mechanical voice echoed in Gu Xi’s ears.

[Please enter the code for the world you wish to access.]

Gu Xi took out the letter and carefully copied down, "ZFE2JDAT04HJ70!"

[Target confirmed, Game World code ZFE2JDAT04HJ70! Do you wish to enter?]

"Enter!"

Gu Xi was a bit surprised that he wasn’t required to enter his own traversal code.

But he quickly understood that this was a feature of such public portals.

Here, there was no need for a code, as no one could guarantee you’d return safely.

Therefore, entering a player’s code here was meaningless.

No other prompts sounded. A flash of white light appeared before Gu Xi, and he was sent into the void.

The situation surprised Gu Xi; he hadn’t expected to encounter something like this.

It seemed like he had entered a new world, but it also seemed he hadn’t fully descended.

Before Gu Xi had time to understand what was happening, two rays of light, one blue and one red, appeared in the sky.

In the red light stood a Flame Lord with only an upper body, his body soaked in a river of red lava.

In the blue light, a Sea Giant draped in seaweed held a trident, standing upon ocean waves, staring into the void from afar.

As Gu Xi stepped out, both of their gazes fell upon him.

However, upon confirming Gu Xi was a player, they retracted their gazes.

That brief glance made Gu Xi’s hair stand on end.

It was an even more terrifying feeling than when Gu Xi first saw the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin at the White Training Grand Ceremony.

Gu Xi immediately realized that these two might be the apex of this world.

He was uncertain of their strength.

Gu Xi could only guess their levels based on the conditions around them, assuming they were at least level 20 or above.

While Gu Xi speculated about these two, they remained motionless. Behind them appeared gates leading to the worlds they controlled.

Behind the Sea Giant was an underwater world, no longer green, but a deep sea where nothing could be seen.

Behind the Flame Lord was the opposite: a barren land devoid of any plants, with even the soil cracked dry.

The sky was a dark red, as if it had been scorched.

Gu Xi glanced at the letter and took a step towards the direction of the Flame Lord.

The next moment, a blinding red filled Gu Xi’s vision, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

"Do not resist. We are currently enhancing your flame resistance through alchemical methods to ensure you won’t burn to death on this Desolate Fire Plain."

Just as Gu Xi intended to move, a voice stopped him.

He looked up at where the voice came from and saw a red-haired man tossing fist-sized black stones into a nearby Earth Furnace.

"Just a little longer, three more minutes and you can come out.

Remember, this is just the basic fire resistance, barely enough to prevent you from burning to death. In this weather, it will still feel hot to you, although your companions will not be affected.

Once released, they’ll only last three to five minutes.

If you don’t want to bring back a pile of ashes, don’t let your skeletal troops out."

Finishing his words, the red-haired man bowed his head and continued with his work as if he hadn’t spoken at all.

Gu Xi realized that even Fang Kang feared betrayal and had thus chosen a world where Gu Xi couldn’t unleash the Undead Army.

If he insisted on summoning the Undead Army, as the red-haired man said, they would be incinerated in three to five minutes.

This would result in Gu Xi’s significant loss.

Thus, any schemes involving the Undead Army would not be executed here.

This way, Fang Kang wouldn’t have to worry about the Undead Army, which was like a Celestial Calamity.

Regarding non-undead methods,

Gu Xi pondered seriously and, rather than waiting the full three minutes to leave, the Steel City Gate appeared behind him.

The busy red-haired man saw this and showed a disdainful smile.

Newcomers always believed that they were somehow unique.

They never considered that if they were truly unique, they wouldn’t end up here.

Let alone opening a gate; even placing a city here - if fire wanted to burn, it would consume everything.

But the next moment, the red-haired man lost his composure.

Out of the Steel City Gate flew thirty-four Red Dragons and thirty Black Dragons.

The Black Dragons exited the gate, circled the sky cursing, and flew back.

This made Gu Xi realize that the temperature wasn’t due to magic, but actual flame combustion.

The Black Dragons’ Magic Resistance couldn’t withstand it.

However, the Red Dragons’ reaction pleased Gu Xi.

All thirty-four Red Dragons fluttered excitedly. They were not traditional Red Dragons that could evolve into Black Dragons but subspecies that could become Blazing Dragons.

This type of Red Dragon naturally had flame immunity, making the heat here insignificant to them.

Instead, the temperature made them feel at home.

Seeing the Red Dragons behind Gu Xi, the red-haired man’s disdain vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

He eventually said nothing more. After Gu Xi remained for three minutes, the red-haired man allowed a path for Gu Xi to leave.

When Gu Xi stepped out of the area controlled by the red-haired man, he realized the place he had been standing was actually a mountain-sized furnace.

This furnace had numerous platforms of varying sizes, each with red-haired humans transporting items there.

On each platform, white light would occasionally flash, and people or objects would appear on the platform.

It was evident this mountain-sized furnace was actually a teleportation point into the Desolate Fire Plain.
