Bronze Fragment

That night, Chen Tian rescued the villagers, and the High Priest was also restored.

The next morning, the High Priest came to find Chen Tian and took him back to the thatched hut from the night before.

Sunlight streamed through the wooden-stick window, beams of light shining directly onto the ground. Pushing open the door, the icy cold from the previous night was gone, perhaps because Chen Tian had come into contact with and controlled it.

"Chen Tian, I have something for you. Its origin is very strange. I suspect it doesn't belong to this world." As the High Priest spoke, he walked to a stone pier in the room, squatted down, and touched something. Suddenly, a flash of light swept across the stone pier.

Chen Tian sat on a wooden stool to the side, watching the High Priest fiddling around, not asking too many questions. After a while, the High Priest took out a wooden box from it and turned to bring it to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian took a closer look and found that the wooden box in the High Priest's hand was extremely ordinary! According to the practices of the past, hidden beneath the ordinary must be a great secret! "High Priest, what is in this wooden box?" Chen Tian asked curiously.

The High Priest didn't speak, a slight smile on his lips, and handed the wooden box to Chen Tian, signaling him to open it himself.

Looking at the High Priest's mysterious appearance, Chen Tian's curiosity grew even stronger.

Creak—

Chen Tian opened the wooden box, and a burst of fragrance instantly wafted over him, then he exclaimed, "This! This! This thing is actually so ordinary!"

Inside the wooden box was a Bronze Fragment, but it was broken into too many pieces, and the patterns on it could not be discerned.

Chen Tian's forehead was covered in black lines, and his heart was filled with greetings. What kind of strange origin is this! It looks like a piece of iron, the kind that everyone would despise if it were thrown on the street. After staring at it for a while, Chen Tian couldn't figure out anything, scratching his head in frustration.

"High Priest, is this Bronze Fragment the thing with the strange origin you mentioned?" Chen Tian asked.

The High Priest sat beside him and slowly told the origin of the Bronze Fragment.

"This fragment was passed down from my ancestors. According to their instructions, this object is from outside the heavens. When the ancestors obtained it, the Bronze Fragment still overflowed with some kind of power."

"It is said that after the ancestor touched that power, his consciousness seemed to go to another place, and then in that place, he met a mysterious person who told the ancestor to protect this thing and wait for someone to come and take it away."

The High Priest continued, but Chen Tian fell into deep thought. Sure enough, it's an ordinary fragment with a huge origin, damn it!

"High Priest, I want to know what this place is called?" Chen Tian asked. The so-called Inner Earth World was just a way of saying it; the real name would definitely not be so simple.

Sure enough! The High Priest told Chen Tian the real name of this place.

"The place where we live is called Blue Village."

Chen Tian smiled embarrassedly, "High Priest, I'm not referring to the name of the village, but the entire world here."

The High Priest smiled kindly and said, "What I said naturally refers to the entire world."

Chen Tian was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses. The Blue Village in the High Priest's mouth not only referred to the village but also the entire world.

This time, Chen Tian was a little puzzled.

The High Priest's eyes flickered, and seeing Chen Tian's confused look, he continued, "When I was young, I became the High Priest of the village and became familiar with everything in the village. The origin of Blue Village and the Bronze Fragment are two things that I still cannot understand."

Then the High Priest smiled, "However, now it seems that the problem that has plagued me for so long can be solved today."

Chen Tian looked at the High Priest, whose eyes were now staring straight at him.

"High Priest, is this the Inner Earth World of Ten Thousand Stars?" Chen Tian asked tentatively. If it was, he would have a way to solve the big trouble outside! But the High Priest shook his head with unusual firmness, "Blue Village is not the underground world of Ten Thousand Stars. There is no connection between the two."

Chen Tian frowned and asked, "Then why can I come here from Ten Thousand Stars?"

The High Priest gave Chen Tian the answer: "Blue Village is like a small world. It is completely unconnected to Ten Thousand Stars, yet there are countless connections. Because when the first ancestors came to Ten Thousand Stars, they used supreme means to place Blue Village under Ten Thousand Stars."

"It could be said that below Ten Thousand Stars is still the Inner Earth World, but Blue Village has opened up a space in the Inner Earth World, and Blue Village is in this space."

In this way, Chen Tian finally understood this place.

Afterward, the High Priest also explained the reason why Chen Tian was able to come here, probably because the passage connecting the two places, which was closed by the ancestors, had begun to loosen, after nearly a thousand years.

Blue Village villagers occasionally encounter creatures from Ten Thousand Stars who stray into the passage, either humans or monsters, but in order to ensure the safety of the villagers, the High Priest never offered help unless they could find the village themselves. "Then, High Priest, what is the purpose of giving me this Bronze Fragment?" Chen Tian asked, holding up the fragment.

"Hehe." The High Priest smiled, "Protecting the fragment until its owner appears is our village's responsibility. Now that we have met you, Chen Tian, I believe you are the one the ancestors spoke of, the owner of the Bronze Fragment!"

Chen Tian looked at it over and over again. According to what the High Priest said, when the Blue Village ancestors encountered the fragment, they were told by a mysterious person to guard the Bronze Fragment until its owner appeared and took it away.

And the High Priest had said that priests could predict future events, and he was the one she was referring to, the owner of the Bronze Fragment.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian felt a little unbelievable. Why is it that wherever he goes, there is a pile of trouble waiting for him?! And the trouble is either a bunch of people will die in the future, or a bunch of people will die in the future. Could it be that he is a Heavenly Killing Lone Star???

"Phew, okay, then I'll keep it for now." Chen Tian put the wooden box into his Ancient Ring.

Then, the High Priest smiled happily, her responsibility was finally completed in part, and next, it was up to Chen Tian to walk down the path.

With the matter settled, the High Priest originally wanted to take Chen Tian to learn about the village and its surroundings, but she still needed to go back to take care of the village and could not accompany him, so she took out a folded piece of yellow paper from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian took it and asked what it was. The High Priest smiled and said, "It's a map, and it's a map of the entire Blue Village. Now that you have nothing to do, you can wander around at will according to the places marked on the map."

After speaking, the High Priest walked out of the grass hut. Chen Tian politely waved his hand and was about to spread out the map to take a look. At this time, the High Priest, who had walked halfway outside the door, turned her head and instructed, "Some places in Blue Village have ancestral magic formations and some forbidden areas. Be very careful, although with your strength, it will be difficult to hurt you at all."

Chen Tian smiled and nodded.

He didn't expect that the High Priest's ability to predict was so powerful that she even knew his strength pretty well. No wonder she was so confident.
