"Golden light rolls in red mist, auspicious aura sprays purple fog."

This is how Lin Yi remembers a scene from an ancient book describing the Celestial Court in Hua Country mythology.

But Lin Yi never imagined that one day, he would witness such a fantastical and breathtaking scene with his own eyes.

In this cloud-enshrouded world, each floating island is graced with red-tiled white-bricked magnificent halls that emanate supreme majesty.

Beneath Lin Yi’s feet lies the unfathomable Deep Space, as though he is stepping on a dazzling Star River.

The jade gate that brought Lin Yi here now stands behind him.

Since Lin Yi’s rebirth, he has encountered countless dreamlike scenes.

Yet at this moment, Lin Yi is still awestruck by everything before him.

This was a soul-reaching awe, far beyond anything he had previously experienced.

In this dreamlike world, Lin Yi felt he had arrived at the Celestial Court depicted in countless films and novels.

An inexplicable familiarity made Lin Yi feel as if he had returned home, his heart unable to find peace.

Lin Yi now seemed to stand suspended, but he felt as though his feet were firmly on solid ground.

And above him stretched an endless sky.

Isolated islands floated in the heights, extending to the sky’s end.

There is no sun here, yet you sense brightness, even a touch of warmth.

Though suspended in the sky, the air is fresh, with breezes carrying a subtle, pleasant fragrance.

Lin Yi was at a loss for words to describe his current experience.

This entire environment made Lin Yi feel both enchanted and enveloped in a sense of desolation.

For here, Lin Yi felt no trace of life.

The pine trees standing around the halls seemed like witnesses, silently conveying something to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned to look at the closest hall on his left, wanting to investigate further.

Upon stepping forward, Lin Yi suddenly realized he was standing in mid-air.

Fearing he might step into nothingness, Lin Yi instinctively wanted to flap his wings and fly.

Yet, when his foot landed on the void, there was no emptiness felt, causing Lin Yi to stagger and almost lose his balance.

Soon, Lin Yi discovered that although he ’stood’ in the void, he could walk on it as naturally as if walking on solid ground.

Even more incredible was this.

When Lin Yi’s consciousness wished to go upward, an invisible staircase appeared underfoot, perfectly leading him to his desired destination.

If Lin Yi’s mind wanted to descend, that invisible staircase would extend downward, ensuring every step in the void was solid.

Feeling this marvel, Lin Yi folded away his Feather Wings.

For some reason.

In this environment, Lin Yi felt that the double sets of wings behind him seemed somewhat incongruous.

But as Lin Yi tucked away his wings, a sense of anomaly emerged again.

Lin Yi attempted to summon the system interface but failed.

Yet when Lin Yi wished to "activate Flight Mode," his wings could unfold normally, as if they were a natural part of his body.

Lin Yi suddenly activated his consciousness, and a surge of Power of Thunder suddenly appeared in his palm, jumping joyfully.

Then, with Lin Yi’s mental shift, the thunder in his palm naturally transformed into a burning Flame.

After testing, Lin Yi found his capabilities remained unaffected, yet it seemed this place isolated all aspects of the system.

Lin Yi suddenly furrowed his brows, realizing a rather intriguing fact:

When he visited the Nine Nether Continent, the system worked, yet many features were influenced, restricted, and wouldn’t allow proper logout;.

Moreover, on the Nine Nether Continent, he once lost complete contact with the system, later finding out it coincided with the "Glory of the Gods" update downtime.

The most recent occurrence was at the "Unknown Dark Hall," where again the system was impacted, unable to properly log off.

Also, during the incident when Zhan Chen and the others were captured, similar logout issues arose as they were situated within the Space Divine Shrine constructed by Yellow Springs.

Connecting these experiences made Lin Yi realize one thing.

Whenever the system experienced anomalies, there was a common feature.

In spaces outside the Rafam Continent, the system would undergo some degree of changes.

And now.

When Lin Yi attempted to log off, he indeed received no system notification.

This situation mirrors Lin Yi’s state on Earth.

When Lin Yi logs off to reality, the system disappears, yet he retains all gained abilities and strength, just like now.

Upon comparison, Lin Yi discovered.

The system seems to operate completely normally only on the Rafam Continent.

Could this mean the further from Rafam Continent, the less influence the system holds?

If so, the current locale where Lin Yi stands is an independent plane far removed from Rafam Continent, beyond the control of the system’s "Hongmeng".

Upon reaching this conclusion, Lin Yi’s curiosity about this place grew.

Then, with a curious and stirring spirit, Lin Yi headed toward the nearest hall.

Below the hall was a floating island, planted with two tall pine trees besides the hall.

Beside the hall was a fenced area.

Seeing the familiar fence, Lin Yi even wondered if he had returned to the orphanage he once lived in.

For behind the orphanage was a fenced area where chickens and ducks were raised to provide better meals for the children.

But unlike the orphanage’s dirty and messy fenced area, this fenced site was meticulously clean and tidy.

Inside the bamboo fence was only a pristine water trough, nothing more.

What amazed Lin Yi was that the trough contained crystal-clear water.

Yet all this was overshadowed by the imposing architecture that captured Lin Yi’s attention.

For Lin Yi saw, inscribed on the plaque of the palace were three large characters: "Guanghan Palace."
