Chapter 2: Arrival.
.
Ye Fan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his entire body trembling. The scene before him was simply too terrifying. The nine enormous dragon corpses, each thousands of meters long, were pitch black, their scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster. Although they had long lost their life aura, they still exuded an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.
The bronze coffin was even more ancient and vast, covered in green patina, engraved with obscure patterns and ancient characters. These patterns seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, faintly resonating with the starry sky.
"Impossible... this is absolutely impossible..." Li Xiaoman's face was pale as she muttered to herself, her voice trembling.
Pang Bo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Everyone, don't panic. We need to figure out where this place is first."
"Where else could it be? It must be the outer space!" Someone shouted in panic.
"Look over there!" Suddenly, a classmate pointed into the distance, his voice sharp.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a huge planet hanging in the distance, blue and white intertwined, appearing exceptionally beautiful and mysterious.
"That's... Earth?" Someone said uncertainly.
"No, that's not Earth. Look at the shape of the continents, completely different." Zhou Yi shook his head, his expression grave.
Ye Fan stared intently at that planet, a strange feeling rising in his heart. He felt as if something was calling him, a faint, elusive sensation.
"Could this be the legendary Big Dipper Star Domain?" Liu Yunzhi suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.
"Big Dipper Star Domain? What's that?" Someone asked.
"I've read some ancient texts that mention the Big Dipper Star Domain is a cultivation holy land in the universe, where countless powerful beings reside." Liu Yunzhi explained.
"Cultivation? Are you talking about those myths and legends?" Someone sneered.
"Believe it or not, but the scene before us is enough to prove that the universe is far more mysterious than we imagine." Liu Yunzhi said calmly.
Just then, the bronze coffin suddenly trembled violently, emitting a deafening rumble.
"Not good! The coffin is about to fall!" Someone screamed.
Sure enough, the bronze coffin began to plummet rapidly, the friction with the atmosphere creating a dazzling flame, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
"Hold tight!" Ye Fan shouted, grabbing the edge of the coffin tightly.
Everyone held on to anything they could, their faces filled with terror.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the bronze coffin heavily crashed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Ye Fan felt his internal organs shift, almost spitting out blood.
After a long while, the dust gradually settled. Ye Fan opened his eyes and found himself lying in a vast wilderness, surrounded by ancient towering trees, their canopies blocking out the sun.
"Is everyone alright?" Ye Fan struggled to stand up and looked around.
"I'm fine." Pang Bo climbed out of a pit, covered in dirt.
"I'm still alive..." Others also got up one after another, their faces filled with lingering fear.
"Where is this?" Li Xiaoman looked around, her eyes full of confusion.
"I don't know, but it definitely isn't Earth." Zhou Yi said solemnly.
Ye Fan looked up at the sky, only to see nine enormous stars hanging high, emitting a strange light.
"Nine stars in the sky... this is the Big Dipper Star Domain!" Liu Yunzhi exclaimed in surprise.
"Big Dipper Star Domain? Are you sure?" Someone asked.
"Look at the arrangement of those nine stars, exactly matching the records in ancient texts." Liu Yunzhi said excitedly.
"Then we really came to another world?" Someone said incredulously.
"It seems so." Ye Fan nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Now what do we do?" Someone asked helplessly.
"First, find a place to settle down, then figure out the situation here." Ye Fan said.
"Agreed." Everyone nodded in agreement.
So, a group of modern college students embarked on a journey in this strange and unfamiliar world, unaware that a magnificent and thrilling chapter was about to unfold.
