Even in this Extraordinary World, it seemed as though all external identity and status had become irrelevant.
Everyone subconsciously ignored those things.
Here, their identities were all the same, that of "newcomers".
The members of the Canglan Expedition Team were very enthusiastic. After Dane left, they started discussing the place they were going to visit today with Li Xiang.
"You know, I heard we are going to headquarters today. After we officially join the Star Alliance, it seems we’ll be living there for quite some time," Zhou Yu said with a mysterious look on his face.
"Oh? Where exactly is this headquarters? Did that Manager sir tell you all?"
"This... I asked, but he didn’t say. He just told us to be patient and said he wanted to keep some suspense," Zhou Yu replied, scratching his head.
Although he appeared somewhat helpless, his eyes were filled with longing.
In fact, it wasn’t Dane’s intention to be mysterious, he simply had no idea where this so-called main base really was.
He had only heard the Star Lord mention that it was located somewhere in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
As for what it actually looked like, sorry, but he had never been there.
Today, not only Li Xiang and the members of the Canglan Expedition Team would go there, but he and his brother Sam would also head there.
What was different for them, however, was this.
After arriving, the two of them could directly participate in the Enlightenment Ceremony of the Three Great Sanctuaries and become Awakeners.
This was the promise that Zhang Xiaoman had once made.
Subsequently, Li Xiang and the people of the Canglan Expedition Team continued their discussion here for about an hour.
In the meantime, servants even came to replace their tea and snacks.
Zhou Yu and the others were still fine, but Li Xiang, who had never experienced such treatment, felt it was entirely novel.
Although he had been to restaurants where waiters served customers, the feeling was completely different from that of private maids in a manor.
Just thinking about completely leaving behind his mundane past life and embarking on a new one made his heart burn with fervor.
As time passed, when the clock inside the room pointed to seven o’clock, the manor welcomed a massive flying machine.
It was Zhang Xiaoman’s second Anti-gravity Car, named "Dawn".
Unlike the situation two days ago, the size of Dawn had changed.
It had transformed from the size of an SUV into a flying ship as tall as a two-story building.
Clearly, it had been upgraded again.
Zhang Xiaoman felt rather helpless.
She had originally planned to use up her last few points, but coincidentally ended up upgrading this thing.
The Anti-gravity Car had been upgraded to a blue military all-purpose type.
At the current rate of Upgrade, with just one more upgrade, it would turn purple.
Which would make it a Space Guard Ship like her current Dawn.
Although this was contrary to her initial intentions,
It wasn’t a bad thing, after all. When the time came, she could simply save points to buy a new one.
Now, an upgrade had its advantages.
The original plan to take Li Xiang and others to Rebirth Island in two batches appeared to be unnecessary.
Given the size of Dawn, it could easily take everyone in one go, with room to spare.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t need to come personally; everything could be remotely controlled through the neutrino communication system built into the vehicle.
Upon Dawn’s arrival, everyone present was startled.
The members of the Canglan Expedition Team were fine since they had seen small Anti-gravity Cars before.
Although not as large, they were somewhat prepared, at least.
It was Li Xiang who, upon witnessing this scene, suddenly froze, unable to utter a word.
To say that he had truly experienced the Extraordinary Power of that organization, he had actually only seen Zhang Xiaoman close the Dimension Rift at the very beginning.
He had encountered quite a few monsters, and even had a close encounter with them later on.
Those two vine-like creatures that emerged from the ground, each over ten meters tall, had left an indelible impression on him to this day.
But now, this immense flying vehicle filled with futuristic and science fiction elements, had once again changed his impression of the organization.
From that pure Eastern Mystical style, it had transformed into a foundation style that fused black technologies.
However, regardless of the style, none of it lessened his longing for that enigmatic Extraordinary World.
Next, the group boarded the spaceship and began their journey from England, passing through the Arctic and into the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Rebirth Island.
While amazed by this miraculous experience, Li Xiang finally resolved a question in his heart.
He had always wondered why the time on that ticket was set to arrive at night.
In a place as sparsely populated as Oxford County, disembarking at that time would make it difficult to find transportation and inconvenient to move around.
The taxi he had found previously had taken him an hour to catch with great difficulty.
But now, as the Anti-gravity Car crossed ten time zones to reach Rebirth Island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, he finally understood.
Although the Sun was just rising in England, it was already the most golden time of the afternoon here.
"Who would have thought that such a place existed in the world! It seems Brother Yong’s guess was right; the anomalies that suddenly appeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean are indeed related to the Star Alliance," Zhou Yu said with a face full of wonder as he looked out the window through the holographic interface inside Dawn.
Shi Yong hadn’t spoken yet, but another boy spoke up first.
"Did you see that? Didn’t I tell you that this place must be the one we were looking for? I said it before, but you didn’t believe me."
Li Xiang’s attention was drawn by his words, and he looked over curiously, while the other members of the Canglan Expedition Team showed no emotional ripples.
"Xiang, don’t listen to the Alarm Clock boasting. He has another nickname in our expedition team, called ’Prophet.’ Every time something happens, he always says ’I knew it’ or something like that, but in reality, he has no clue at all. We’re all used to it," one of them said.
"Hey, Stinking Salted Fish, I knew you were going to say that about me, so I specially prepared some intelligence about this island. Brother Xiang, don’t listen to his nonsense. I’ve always been a person who predicts events like a god," the boy retorted.
Alarm Clock then shared the information he had compiled about Rebirth Island.
This was intelligence they had gathered in the first few days the island had emerged, and now it was nearly impossible to find any more information online.
Although there was a lot of information, not much of it was useful.
It consisted mostly of speculations made by various international industry experts in geology, oceanography, and military on the causes of the anomalies in the Pacific Ocean based on their professional knowledge.
Still, Li Xiang listened intently, getting a rough understanding of the land he was about to set foot on.
"So, to sum it up, the possibility that the main base of the Star Alliance is on this island is actually very high. After my calculations, it should be close to 53%," Alarm Clock concluded.
If Liu Chengfeng of the Black Tortoise Army were here, he would be quite surprised.
Because the results deduced by this seemingly boastful and scatterbrained youth were very close to the 67% probability given by their Intelligent Group.
Although there was still a discrepancy of over ten percent, after all, he was just one person.
And the intelligence he had for analysis was also limited; to be able to achieve this level was quite impressive.
"Hehe, Manager, don’t you see that I’m correct?" Alarm Clock looked towards Dane.
Dane unconsciously curled a corner of his mouth.
How could he know if it was right or not?
All he knew was that the Star Alliance Headquarters was on Rebirth Island, but as for how the island formed and such, he had no idea either.
Although he felt frustrated inside, on the surface, he maintained his unaffected demeanor.
After all, as a "Manager," he was supposed to be somewhat of a wise senior.
He simply adopted a calm appearance and nodded slightly to the other:
"Not bad, you did guess some things correctly."
