Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"I wonder how things are going for the boss over there."

"With the boss leading the team, shouldn't we be invincible?"

Players who had finished clearing out the plague rats and were treating all those who had contracted the plague were chatting quietly.

They were quite eager about this act of vengeance against the demons that humanity had initiated.

Regardless of whether they were strong enough, they wanted to join in on the excitement.

Unfortunately, the boss hadn't let them come along this time. It made them curious about what the demons in the high-dimensional space were like.

What did those demons look like?

What was the deep part of the high-dimensional space like?

And... how much experience would those demons provide?

"But that's the home turf of the demons! Fighting on their territory, it must be difficult no matter what, right?"

"The boss didn't bring us along this time, probably because he was worried about not being able to protect us."

"But I also want to contribute to the rescue of that girl!" Kuang Xin said, clenching the axe in his hand with some dissatisfaction.

The boss was late to the rescue, and his companion was trapped by those enhanced believers of the evil cult. At that moment, only he had the chance to save the human girl known as the saintess.

In his heart, a true saintess was someone willing to bear the suffering of all living beings.

Even if she was deceived by the wicked and did things that aided tyranny.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of this that he felt even more compelled to rescue her from that plight.

Wasn't the purpose of them players entering the game to prevent such tragedies from happening in the first place?

While listening to his companions' low conversation, Gong Yan quietly approached the white-furred girl who was using spiritual energy to observe the high-dimensional space.

Aside from that high and cold elf miss, the strongest here in terms of spiritual energy was this seemingly youthful Miss Bai, "Lady Nova..."

Gong Yan called out softly.

"Hmm?" Nova retracted her consciousness, her glowing eyes, still carrying the charm of spiritual energy, shifted from staring into the void to Gong Yan, "What is it?"

"Do you know if the boss's mission is going smoothly?"

Having been with Bai's subordinates for a long time, Nova knew they were good people, and without any reservation, just shook her head and said outright, "I can't see them... They've gone too deep into the high-dimensional space. What's happening there hasn't reached my eyes yet."

As Nova was speaking, she suddenly paused, and Yue Ying, standing alone at a distance, trembled first, noticing an unbearable change suddenly emerging in that mysterious space.

Nova no longer paid attention to Gong Yan and turned her head back to the void.

Her consciousness was about to rush towards her spiritual body.

However, in this process, which was typically so straightforward it was taken for granted, an overwhelming gale struck, like a kite flying in the sky almost having its fragile string snapped by the tempest.

As a result, Nova's consciousness instinctively recoiled back, and her entire body in the material world also abruptly stepped back.

"Lady Nova?" Gong Yan gently supported Nova's body but was shoved away by her.

Nova, whose consciousness was blown back, realized something might have happened in the high-dimensional space and, not being superstitious, she still wanted to try again.

True to form, the moment her consciousness ascended toward the high-dimensional space, Nova sensed an indescribable violent force sweeping over, vowing to engulf her entirely and merge her with the essence of the high-dimensional space.

Let alone lock onto her Spiritual Body and complete the transfer from physical body to Spiritual Body.

"High-dimensional storm!" Nova, blown back once again, stared blankly, feeling a genuine disbelief at the sudden catastrophe, "How can there suddenly be a high-dimensional storm!"

Everyone was a wielder of Spiritual Energy, all too familiar with the potential consequences of such natural disasters in high-dimensional space.

If mishandled, the entire expedition army could be lost within the present high-dimensional space!

"No! I have to save him! I have to save Bai!" Nova, eyes wild, mustered her Spiritual Energy to attempt consciousness ascension again.

However, a vast surge of Spiritual Energy descended, and a slender, petite figure appeared beside Nova, stopping her actions, "It's useless!"

Yue Ying also felt the sweeping might of the high-dimensional storm, her more rational mind not yet thrown into disarray by this sudden emergency, her calm eyes staring quietly into Nova's, "Being impulsive won't save him and it'll harm you as well."

The skillful application of Psychic Energy conveyed Yue Ying's rationality to Nova, gradually soothing the young girl's emotions.

Nova blinked and grabbed Yue Ying's arm, "Big sister, do you have a way? You must have a way, right?"

Yue Ying was one of the Elf Race's top warriors, and she had a sister with transcendent mastery in Spiritual Energy. These were the things Bai E had told her.

"So you must have a way, right?"

Yue Ying's gaze hardened, somewhat grave, "It's not that there isn't a way..."

In fact, in the history of humanity, there were similar solutions.

When humans once controlled the world, the fishing boats that went to sea occasionally got lost due to sudden storms.

Therefore, there was always a tall tower standing at the shore, guiding those fishing boats home.

A lighthouse... This was exactly what the expedition army needed now.

Perhaps the scale and magnitude of the situation were utterly incomparable, but the approach to resolution was broadly the same.

The only problem now was... who would become that lighthouse?

Just like the prerequisite for their expedition, a boy named Fernandi had completely burned himself within the Eternal Garden, becoming the "lighthouse" that led the expedition army to the Eternal Garden.

And now, who would become the lighthouse to guide the expedition army back?

Herself?

For Bai E, she certainly didn't mind burning her Spiritual Energy to the limit.

Just like the basis on which those demons hunt wielders of Spiritual Energy, the crazier the burning of Spiritual Energy is, the more blinding the luminescence of the Spiritual Body in high-dimensional space.

As long as she removes her disguise, she believed that with the intensity of her burning Spiritual Energy, she could surely become the brightest light in the entire high-dimensional space for a brief period.

But the problem is... what if the demons of the "Desire" category discovered her light before Bai E could follow it back to her?

Although even demons would steer clear during a high-dimensional storm, if truly deranged demons of Desire were present, and with Bai E not by her side, she wouldn't be able to withstand the assault of Desire demons.

The situation would only worsen!

She wanted to contribute, but she couldn't add to the chaos.
