The Trial of the Chaos Forbidden Domain

Qingshui City, it's night.

In the office of the World Association, Chi Yan.

Shen Hui and Qingxue sat inside when Chi Yan brought in two glasses of juice.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the two of you come together."

Shen Hui and Qingxue were two people that Chi Yan highly regarded among their peers, especially given their Common backgrounds.

Qingxue took the juice from her hand, smiled, and said thank you.

Politeness is essential, so Shen Hui immediately replied with a thank you, and then said:

"We all had our own things to do before that."

"Speak, what do you need me for this time? I've got a lot on my plate lately, so I might as well ask for more."

Chi Yan made a self-deprecating remark as she sat in her office chair and looked at Shen Hui and the others.

Shen Hui didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Guild Leader Chi Yan, today we went to the Land of the Unfettered to challenge the Borderlands, and there we discovered some unusual changes."

Hearing Shen Hui say this, Chi Yan seemed to know what Shen Hui was going to say, and then spoke up:

Are you referring to the phenomenon of dual-world merging that occurs in Unclaimed World?

"We learned about this a few days ago, but we haven't found any relevant leads yet."

But Shen Hui shook his head at Chi Yan and said in a deep voice, "This is only one issue. There's another one concerning the changes in the Unclaimed World."

"Traces of followers of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods have been discovered in the Unclaimed World; they are invading the Unclaimed World Unclaimed World and plundering its resources."

After hearing Shen Hui Chi Yan the other changes in the Unclaimed World, Chi Yan's expression suddenly turned somewhat shocked.

"What? You're saying traces of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods have been discovered in the Unclaimed World?"

"How did they end up in Unclaimed World, and why are they plundering Unclaimed World resources? What's going on...?"

After the initial shock, Chi Yan looked completely bewildered, having never imagined such a situation would arise.

"This is indeed a serious problem. The fact that followers of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods are appearing in the Unclaimed World means they are definitely planning something."

"How did you know? No one else has reported this."

Shen Hui directly told them what Bai Fan had discovered.

"Bai Fan and Tu Xingchen discovered it. They ran into me after they came out and told me about it."

"And the strange phenomenon that occurred in the Sea of Stars today is probably related to this as well."

Shen Hui then recounted what he had done, since everyone already knew.

"This matter is of utmost importance. The Seventy-Two Demon Gods are completely different from ordinary heretics. They seem to have a complete world system and do not need to develop believers among us."

"Such unusual changes have occurred in the Sea of Stars, Unclaimed World. It seems that some kind of change is indeed taking place. I will report this matter."

Having finished reporting the matter, Shen Hui also planned to leave without disturbing Chi Yan.

"Then, Chairman, we'll be leaving now. We won't disturb you any longer. If we make any further discoveries, we'll report back to you immediately."

Just as Shen Hui was about to leave with Qingxue, Chi Yan seemed to remember something and spoke up:

"Wait, since you're here today, I can tell you now that the news about entering the Chaos Forbidden Domain will be announced tomorrow."

"The selection process will still be based on elimination. Any creator with Creation World of level five or above can participate, and they will be divided into different groups to compete based on the World Level."

"The final number of slots is one thousand. Although the number seems large, with the entire district participating, the competition is incredibly fierce."

"You already have a pre-selected spot, so you don't need to participate."

Chi Yan looked at Shen Hui, then at Qingxue.

"As for Qingxue, it might be more difficult for her to participate. Be prepared for that."

Qingxue listened, smiled, and said, "President, I don't plan to participate. Let someone else compete for this spot."

Chi Yan was naturally unaware that Qingxue had a channel through the Tarot Club to reach the Chaos Forbidden Domain, and assumed that Qingxue was not planning to go.

He nodded in strong agreement. "It's probably for the best not to go. Although there are rumors that the Chaos Forbidden Domain contains abundant resources and is a great place to find opportunities."

"But it's also a very dangerous place inside. I learned from President Fan Hao that there are some strange worlds inside, as well as various areas of spatial distortion, and powerful individual creatures similar to the Star-Devouring Behemoth."

"Actually, I didn't really want Shen Hui to go either."

Chi Yan looked at Shen Hui again as she spoke.

Shen Hui asked in return, "Why?"

"Your talent is already exceptional; you possess an extraordinary aptitude for Creation World. If you continue to develop in this way, you will undoubtedly become an unshakeable force."

"As for the uncertainties and crises we face in the Chaos Forbidden Domain, I personally believe the dangers outweigh the opportunities, and there's no need to take such a risk."

"Of course the decision is yours, and I don't think I could persuade you otherwise, which is why I didn't."

Shen Hui scoffed.

"President, you're just trying to persuade me, and you're absolutely right, I'm definitely planning to go."

"Things aren't very peaceful right now, and I want to improve my skills quickly. I won't miss this opportunity."

Chi Yan said, "Just be careful, and don't disappear as I expect."

Shen Hui patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, there won't be any problem!"

"Then, Chairman, we'll be leaving now."

Chi Yan nodded, and Shen Hui and Qingxue left the World Association.

Looking at the already late night sky, Shen Hui was wondering where to rest for the night.

Qingxue, standing nearby, timidly suggested, "Let's... stay at a hotel instead."

"Great! That's a good suggestion."

Shen Hui raised his hand in agreement and immediately pulled Qingxue to the nearest hotel, where they booked a couple's suite.

The next day, Shen Hui woke up from his deep sleep and looked at the Sun that had already risen.

He kissed Qingxue's cheek, and she slowly woke up and asked:

What are your plans for today?

Shen Hui stretched and said, "I'm going back to the Red Night Organization. You can come along too. I'll introduce you to the members of the Tarot Club while I'm at it."

"You two should get to know each other so you can look out for each other when you're working together."

Qingxue nodded, but then remembered something. "You mean those two who attacked you before, right?"

Shen Hui replied with a smile, "Yes, but now, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me again."
