On the Greenfield Cruise Ship.

Greenfield was in the control room, recording the relationship network between Artus, Fire-Spouting Lei, Night Ancient, and Moon Shadow's Breath. From time to time, she would pick up the nearby Legendary-tier pendulum to perform divination and confirm the information. Other times, she would search for character connections through the crystal ball. Her private messages and the internal chat information from the [Star Track Cult] were also overwhelming in number, and she selectively responded to them.

But just as she finished replying to one message, the pendulum hanging before her eyes suddenly began to swing rapidly. The crystal ball also emitted a faint red glow. Without any hesitation, Greenfield sent a message she had long prepared. The moment her message was sent, her vision went black, and her consciousness appeared in a dim void.

Before her was a massive, colossal Snake Ball, with tens of thousands of snakes intertwined and twisted together. The extreme visual and mental impact was so intense that even Greenfield, who possessed high mental resistance, nearly broke down, almost dragged into a deeper level of illusory world. Fortunately, at the critical moment, as if sensing her danger, a barrier of faint light crossed dimensional boundaries and attached itself to her, helping her block the terrifying and massive mental shock, as well as the pull dragging her into a deeper world.

Around Greenfield, the phantoms of three Legendary items materialized: a crystal ball, a pendulum, and a Spirit Disk. Two Twin Fish appeared beside Greenfield, swimming slowly, enhancing her mental resistance. Above the Snake Ball, a massive pupil lit up. Within the amber pupil, a black slit formed. Without any reason, Greenfield lowered her head. Only one phrase echoed in her mind—"Divine Might Like a Prison." Layer upon layer of oppressive pressure emanated from the Snake Ball. If not for the protection provided by these three Legendary items, Greenfield would surely have lost her composure.

"How interesting! To think you could resist my dream pull!" Greenfield had now regained control of her body. She looked up at the other party, her voice calm, neither humble nor arrogant. "Great existence, you have managed to cross the dimensional barrier and enter my world. Your power astounds and reveres me. I only wish to know why you have come—is there something you require my service for?"

"Oh? You don't know who I am?" The voice carried a hint of mockery and scrutiny. A faint smile curled at the corner of Greenfield's mouth as she remained composed, neither humble nor arrogant. She pressed her right hand to her left chest and bowed slightly, speaking with respect. "Great existence, please forgive my ignorance of your name. Your name itself is like a forbidden existence to me. I only know that you are an existence above Gold, one of the supreme powerhouses standing at the top of the entire Civilization Ladder."

The void space fell into a brief silence. "An interesting fellow... Hmm?" A streak of starlight tore through the darkness, shining into this space. As the starlight entered, a radiant galaxy came to Greenfield's side. The stars shimmered, transforming into three thousand six hundred barriers, protecting her. "Snake of Rebirth, what are you trying to do?" A starlight apparition appeared before Greenfield, calmly gazing at the Snake of Rebirth. "You have violated Article Three of the [Transdimensional Mutual Pact]. Answer me—are you preparing to declare war on our [Star Track Cult]?"

Two powerful energy fields collided in this dim space, causing it to warp. Within the giant Snake Ball where the Snake of Rebirth resided, countless snakes opened their mouths wide, emitting hissing sounds of intimidation. In the air, meteors began to form, ready to fall at any moment. Before the starlight apparition, a galaxy had already emerged, radiating a vast, ancient aura. As the space grew increasingly unstable and on the verge of collapse, the Snake of Rebirth's voice finally sounded. "Star Disciple, no need to be so tense. I merely came to confirm some matters with this little one."

The Star Disciple sneered. "Confirm matters? You needed to breach the dimensional barrier as a Transdimensional existence to personally pressure this Silver-tier player? How about... I convene a Transdimensional meeting and let others help you confirm the situation as well?" Or perhaps, "Should I also descend into the worlds of your snake spawn and take a look?"

"You..." The Snake of Rebirth's single pupil flashed with dangerous light, but the wariness in it was unmistakable. The Snake of Rebirth was well aware that this matter was indeed its own fault. It had never imagined that dealing with a mere Silver-tier little one would result in failure. Although the power it had exerted this time was only a tiny fraction, the gap between Transdimensional and non-Transdimensional was not something that could be measured by the amount of power. Greenfield, a mere Silver-tier, had managed to resist, and although it was with the support of three Legendary items, it was still quite remarkable. More importantly, it hadn't expected the Star Disciple to move so quickly. The Star Disciple had arrived right on its heels, which was no coincidence but a clear sign that the other party had been prepared.

At this moment, the Snake of Rebirth's wariness toward the [Star Track Cult] and the Star Disciple reached its peak. If the other party could even predict its potential descent, what would happen if they fell into conflict...? Thinking of the consequences, the Snake of Rebirth fell silent. Finally... "Star Disciple, I truly came to confirm some matters with this little one... As for the misunderstanding just now, I will make amends..."

Hearing this, a faint, subtle curve finally formed at the corner of the Star Disciple's mouth. It turned back to look at Greenfield, its gaze gentle and patient. After carefully observing Greenfield for a moment, it softly asked, "What do you think?" Greenfield again pressed her right hand to her chest and bowed to the Star Disciple. "Everything is up to you!" The Star Disciple nodded slightly. Then, it turned to face the Snake of Rebirth. "Let's sign a contract. One hundred billion survival points or equivalent Legendary-tier or Gold-tier items—these are your compensation fees. As for the consultation price, it will be calculated separately according to the market rate."

The Snake of Rebirth's eyelids twitched slightly, and a flash of murderous intent flickered in its eyes once more. But soon, its gaze swept over the three thousand six hundred layers of starlight shields before the Star Disciple, and after a moment of deliberation, it said, "Fine!" For two existences above Gold to personally sign a contract, there would naturally be no issues. Meanwhile, behind the Star Disciple, Greenfield's mind was completely blank. She could only repeatedly replay one sentence in her mind. "One hundred billion survival points or equivalent Legendary-tier, Gold-tier items... I'm rich... I'm rich..." So this is how you make money—lesson learned, lesson learned!"

When she finally snapped out of her elation, what she saw was the Star Disciple's helpless gaze. "Alright, now the Snake of Rebirth needs you to verify some information. Answer truthfully and don't hide anything, understand?" Meeting the Star Disciple's meaningful gaze, Greenfield's heart tightened. She nodded solemnly and turned to face the Snake of Rebirth. "Great Snake of Rebirth, I will tell you everything I know, holding nothing back, and concealing nothing..."
