I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Dressing, washing up, having breakfast.

Such a daily and mundane life, yet it’s what many people strive for.

Today, Han Zhan plans to visit the settlements of other races.

Yongsha Star and Pure Beauty Star, along with other celestial races, have lived on Blue Star for a while now.

The stark differences in living habits and cultural variances make their settlements sharply contrast with the style of Great Xia, also attracting many tourists from Great Xia.

Taking the Star Iron Express, it took them less than ten minutes to get from Julu Pass to the settlement of survivors from Pure Beauty Star.

A city that looks rather exotic in flavor, retaining its original name, also called Pure Beauty City.

A variety of non-human and humanoid races walk the streets, giving Han Zhan the illusory feeling of being back in Pure Beauty Paradise.

The huge billboard at the city center is loop-playing advertisements for bestsellers, giving Li Lingzhen an envious look.

"When will my book be able to sell through official channels..."

Listening to Li Lingzhen’s sigh, Han Zhan’s mouth twitched slightly.

"It’s best to abandon that thought, it probably won’t happen." Han Zhan said mercilessly.

At that scale, unless Blue Star is occupied by some frenzied breeding race, there shouldn’t be a day it sells through official channels.

Li Lingzhen jumped onto Han Zhan’s back angrily, using Darnay to "threaten" him.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Xia Youwei seemed to have discovered something special, she raised her hand and pointed at the billboard, "The protagonist’s name of this bestseller seems familiar."

"What’s the name?"

"Han Zhan."

"..."

No need to ask, they could already guess who the author of this bestseller was.

"Those three guys really kept their promise." Han Zhan couldn’t help but sigh.

As they spoke, they continued to walk further into the street and soon saw the familiar name of a bar.

Third-Rate Writer Bar.

They pushed the door open and walked in, where an old acquaintance came into view.

He wore a coffee-colored checkered suit, ash-gray straight cut trousers,

His face was rather dark, composed of mechanical parts such as steel plates, gears, nuts, springs, and cranks.

He wore a bronze monocle on his left eye, while his right eye glowed red.

"Hua Sheng, long time no see."

Han Zhan smiled and greeted.

"Is it you guys?" The red glow in the eyes of Hua Sheng, the Intelligent Mechanical Life, seemed even brighter upon seeing the visitors.

"What a pity, if you had come a little earlier, you could have seen the other two." Hua Sheng said.

"They need to rush a manuscript now, probably busy writing hastily."

Indeed, rushing a manuscript is the most painful thing for every writer.

Li Lingzhen nodded knowingly.

"But wait, why do they need to rush a manuscript, and you don’t?"

"Because I’m AI, I only need to be responsible for polishing. As for the other content, I don’t have to worry about it much."

"Writing as three people is great, with clear division of labor." Li Lingzhen looked envious.

She turned her head to look at her companions again.

The others immediately averted their gaze, not making eye contact with Li Lingzhen.

After all, no one wanted to be dragged into writing something that could destroy their clean reputation!

Getting back to the subject.

"Why not sit down and have something to drink?"

Hua Sheng offered them a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

"Today, you can drink and consume at your leisure here, my treat."

Once, they were three third-rate writers who had to take turns treating each other to drinks, it was by chance that they achieved what they have today.

This was inseparable from Han Zhan’s help.

Han Zhan did not refuse, sat down in the bar, and under Hua Sheng’s recommendation, ordered fruit wine and fried dishes for everyone.

One must admit, the taste of drinks and fried food absolutely surpassed that of the one in Pure Beauty Paradise before.

"How’s the flavor?"

Hua Sheng watched everyone react, he asked with a smile.

"Our staff are specially invited from Great Xia. The bartender studied under Chen Zui, and the chef responsible for fried food is a direct disciple of Eater Fan Chaohui."

Han Zhan listened to Hua Sheng’s introduction, picked another piece of fried food, took a sip of fruit wine, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Care to try the bar’s latest product, high-proof spirits, one sip will leave you with endless aftertaste."

Faced with Hua Sheng’s recommendation, Han Zhan shook his head.

They sat and chatted for a while longer.

At this moment, suddenly the ground of the bar began to convulse violently, the hanging goblets in the restaurant clinked as they rattled.

The strong shaking made Hua Sheng stand up nervously, asking the other waitstaff:

"What’s happening? What exactly is happening?"

"Boss, don’t panic, didn’t you see the Celestial Net forum this morning?"

The staff responded calmly.

"There’s a batch of materials that need to pass through Pure Beauty City, probably some urgent supplies."

This kind of borrowing passage is not uncommon on Blue Star, no one is surprised.

After hearing the staff’s explanation, Hua Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, so it’s a borrowing passage, that’s good."

"I almost thought it was an earthquake, the chaos from borrowing passage surely can’t tear down my place."

Just as Hua Sheng finished speaking, suddenly, the foundation of the Third-Rate Writer Bar began to shake violently.

"Watch out!"

Realizing something was wrong, Han Zhan immediately got up and acted, the instant light enveloped the others within the bar.

The next moment, with a "boom", the Third-Rate Writer Bar collapsed underground...

Hua Sheng was a bit stunned.

Though their lives weren’t in danger, he still couldn’t believe that a perfectly fine building was just collapsed like this, simply from his own jinx?!

When did Blue Star’s building quality become this bad? A shoddy construction?!

Certainly not.

As everyone stood beside the suddenly appearing sinkhole, looking down into it, they vaguely saw some huge black-brown roots.

Those were——the roots of the World Tree.

"The roots of the World Tree hollowed out the ground below this area, plus the violent shaking from the heavy transport vehicles, it eventually caused the collapse."

The situation was now perfectly clear.

It was purely an accident.

The garrison stationed in Pure Beauty City had already rushed over to evacuate the people.

"I’ll go down and retrieve the transport vehicles." Han Zhan signaled to the others, then leapt into the sinkhole.

This was a vertical sinkhole, where developed roots led deeper into the core.

Han Zhan descended extremely fast, in a blink, he had reached a considerable depth.

He saw the transport vehicles stuck in the rock layers, and also saw the roots piercing through to the Star Core.

These deepest roots seemed like a giant hand, gripping the Blue Star Core which beat like a heart.

Visible golden energy flew through these roots of the World Tree, surging towards an unknown direction.

At this moment, a blank sheet of paper suddenly appeared before Han Zhan.

Silently writing out two words Han Zhan understood.

"Stop."
