The Living Seven-Colored Altar! The Old Daoist of Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain!
Someone's there!
The moment the voice appeared, Lin Chen's expression changed drastically.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately unleashed his Psychic Domain!
A terrifying mental force swept across the area, probing the entire deep pit!
But as time passed, the sound never appeared again.
Moreover, Lin Chen did not find any living creatures in the pit.
Feeling a chill run down his spine, he immediately looked around.
However, after searching around, he still couldn't find any trace of living creatures.
Looking at the Seven-Colored Altar that was devouring the monster, a terrifying thought popped into Lin Chen's mind.
He swallowed hard, unable to believe his eyes, and immediately drew his Demon Blade.
As the sharp blade energy spread out, the entire pit was filled with lurking danger!
"You actually found me..."
Then, the voice rang out again.
To be precise, it was the Seven-Colored Altar that was speaking!
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he said:
"Who are you?"
The Seven-Colored Altar did not respond, and the space returned to silence.
The altar only changed after Lin Chen approached step by step.
Visible to the naked eye!
Before the altar, an old Daoist priest with a sage-like appearance, a full head of white hair, and a snow-white beard quietly appeared.
Its form was completely transparent, clearly not its true form!
Seeing this, the well-informed Lin Chen instinctively tightened his grip on the Demon Blade.
Ghost!
And two words also appeared in his mind!
"It's been so many years, a very long time since any Human Race has come here..."
The old Daoist priest remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"Younger generations, what kind of world are we in now? Who is in charge?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Chen's eyes flickered.
With a cold expression, he shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
I don't know?
The old Daoist priest was taken aback, and after glancing at Lin Chen, he fell silent again.
The atmosphere in the pit instantly became awkward.
"This is the Apocalypse Universe..." Lin Chen said upon seeing this.
"I come from Blue Star!"
Apocalypse Universe?
Blue Star?
The old Daoist priest shook his head slightly.
Having never heard of such a thing before, he sighed softly:
"I don't recognize you. This humble Daoist comes from Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain in Xiniu Habor, in the Mortal Realm..."
What?
Xiniu Habor Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain?
Lin Chen's expression changed upon hearing this.
Looking at the old Daoist priest in front of him, his eyes were filled with disbelief!
You should know that Xiniu Habor is a place from the mythology of Blue Star!
Among them are Northern Julu Continent, Eastern Shengshen Continent, Southern Jambu Continent, which are the four major continents of the Mortal Realm.
As for Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain, it is an extremely famous place, simply because it produced an unparalleled demon king who lived as long as heaven and earth!
"What? Judging from your expression, you know my hometown?" The old Daoist priest frowned and asked gently.
Having been suppressed here for countless years, he hadn't seen his hometown people for a very, very long time.
Seeing the Mortal Realm race this time filled me with excitement.
Lin Chen did not respond, but silently displayed images of the seven continents and Four Oceans of Blue Star.
This astonished the old Daoist priest, who exclaimed:
"This is... this is... Northern Julu Continent... no, how did it turn into this ghostly state... This is the Dragon King's home... why is it pitch black!"
This is Xiniu Habor... How did it become like this? It's so strange! And Eastern Shengshen Continent... What's going on?!
The shocked old Daoist priest swallowed hard and quickly looked at Lin Chen, saying:
"This is... the Mortal Realm? No! This definitely isn't the Mortal Realm, something feels completely out of place!"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Chen shook his head slightly.
He had no idea what the Mortal Realm was like through the eyes of the old Daoist priest.
He said softly, lost in thought:
"Senior, so this place is your hometown...?"
"Seven parts similar..." The old Daoist priest shook his head slightly and said.
"This place gives me the feeling... like a miniature version of the Mortal Realm... or perhaps a fake little world!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was utterly shocked.
Instead of immediately refuting him, he asked again:
"Senior, do you mean there are other worlds like this one elsewhere?"
"That's right!" I nodded.
"My hometown is teeming with powerful figures and blessed lands everywhere, it's definitely not like this! Take Northern Julu Continent, for example, it's full of sword immortals, that place just now was nothing like it!"
All right!
Lin Chen nodded.
He was utterly shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He thought that somewhere else, there might be an even Blue Star world on Earth.
So, is the current Blue Star a fake?
Unaware of the truth, Lin Chen sighed and said:
"Senior... then why are you here... and in this state?"
"It's a long story..." the old Daoist priest said.
"Back then, I ignored my master's advice and insisted on avenging my junior brother... Never mind, those people in the Heavenly Court are all hypocrites, don't trust them! Otherwise, with my abilities, how could I have been... Anyway, when I woke up, I was already here. You're the first Human Race I've seen in all this time!"
It's the Heavenly Court again!
This was the second time Lin Chen had heard this name!
The first time was inside the mouth of a terrifying being within the Demon-Suppressing Tower; this time it's inside the mouth of the old Daoist priest.
Feeling incredulous, he glanced at the old Daoist priest and then asked:
"The Heavenly Court... what is that place... there is no Heavenly Court in the Apocalypse Universe..."
There is no Heavenly Court?
The old Daoist priest frowned, then sighed:
"If I'm not mistaken, this place is most likely one of the Three Thousand Minor Worlds... In your world, there is indeed no Heavenly Court..."
"No! This is not a small world; there are also three thousand Great Daos here!" Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said.
"Even legends about some ancient gods have been preserved, including the Heavenly Court... but I just don't know if it really exists..."
The old Daoist priest looked surprised upon hearing this.
After looking at Lin Chen, he explained in detail:
"The Heavenly Court... that's a place where hypocrites reside! A place where a group of self-proclaimed rulers of the Three Realms dwell, dividing all living beings into different classes to bestow supreme honor upon themselves!"
But behind the scenes... they made life impossible for naturally born creatures, ultimately forcing them to rebel! They allowed those who were already married to have children, but forbade other races from mating and having children. Anyone who violated the rules would be punished by heaven... They separated happy families of three, forced their bones to be returned to their fathers, and caused the destruction of their families and the deaths of their members..."
The old Daoist priest became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his emotions grew stronger and stronger.
In his words, the so-called Heavenly Court is a place full of evil.
But this place is teeming with powerful individuals, and no one has been able to destroy it!
After saying this, the old Daoist priest said in a sorrowful tone:
"If the Heavenly Court had been destroyed... then the world would have become like this... perhaps this is the cycle of Heavenly Dao..."
Lin Chen was completely stunned after hearing this!
Faced with the Heavenly Court mentioned by the old Daoist priest, he roughly understood what kind of place it was!
Lin Chen could especially guess who the senior was referring to, given the sad stories he told!
For example, the naturally born spirits that were forced to rebel due to having no other way to survive—isn't that the Demon King?
For example, the one who cut off his own bones to repay his father, causing his family to be destroyed and his family to die, wasn't that the Nezha?
