Performance and Ga
There were no Divine Path Wielders in the Eternal Domain. Chen Ling had only learned of this last night. Actually, he had a doubt in his heart at the ti. Even if the Lord of Wuji could expel Divine Path Wielders, what if God-Favored who were directly chosen by a Divine Path appeared within the domain?
Now, this doubt of his had been answered.
The Lord of Wuji couldn't completely prevent the appearance of God-Favored, but as long as he reduced the frequency of God-Favored appearing, coupled with the Knights' regular patrols and inspections, an existence capable of jumping outside the rules could never appear in this domain.
"But if that's the case, what's the difference between us and captive livestock?" the boy spoke up again.
The mont these words ca out, the man's expression changed completely. Covering the boy's mouth and widening his eyes, he said, "You can't just say things like this! Do you want to be locked up in the Dungeon too?!"
"Besides, we have food to eat and clothes to wear now. Every day is so good. No matter what, it's still better than those domains starving and freezing on the surface!"
Seeing this, the boy didn't say anything more. He rely responded with a soft "hm", and lowered his head to continue eating his porridge.
At the sa ti, his gaze inadvertently glanced behind him.
"I've got a 'guest' here."
Chen Ling seemingly sensed sothing, and waved his hand at him, "See you later."
In the next second, Chen Ling's figure vanished without a trace in the boy's thoughts.
...
Palace of Eternity.
On a luxurious soft sofa.
Chen Ling leisurely opened his eyes.
A black-robed figure was already sitting on the sofa opposite him like a ghost. He was crossing his legs, his hands stacked on his knees. A pair of profound eyes were calmly staring at Chen Ling, the six petal-like gems between his brows shimring with a faint light.
"To be honest, you're a bit quieter than I imagined." The Lord of Wuji slowly looked around. "I thought you would turn this place upside down."
"Is there any aning in turning it upside down?" Chen Ling also unhurriedly crossed his legs,
"No matter how much I destroy this place, it will instantly repair itself... On the contrary, it will occupy the Palace of Eternity's production capacity, making the supplies for the residents outside scarce. Although I'm no good person, if those ordinary residents can't eat because of , then it would be aningless."
The Lord of Wuji chuckled softly, "Rest assured, no matter how much you fuss, their basic living supplies can still be provided normally... At most, the furniture they use will be a bit cruder."
"So you ca over just to mock my lack of strength?"
"No, I won't mock you. Exactly the opposite... I admire you." The Lord of Wuji's gaze was very sincere. "If possible, I hope we can beco companions."
"Then how about you let out?" Chen Ling blinked his eyes. "Actually, I thought about it yesterday and felt your proposal is very reasonable. It can guarantee the reboot, and also give the Eternal Domain a chance to try..."
"I'm sorry, even if you truly think so, I still cannot let you out."
Chen Ling sighed softly:
"I guessed so."
The Lord of Wuji had always been soone who would resort to any ans to achieve his goals, and he did things absolutely decisively. He would directly nip any sign that could possibly stop him from achieving Eternity in the bud... Regardless of whether Chen Ling supported his Eternity plan or not, Chen Ling would be sched into being locked inside the Palace of Eternity. Because only in this way could he truly grasp everything in his own hands, instead of pinning his hopes on Chen Ling's thoughts.
Then again, was the Lord of Wuji really afraid of Chen Ling rebooting now?
Even if Chen Ling obtained the corpses of all the other Nine Monarchs and finished all prerequisite preparations, as long as he, the Lord of Wuji, was still alive, the world would not be rebooted.
However, the Lord of Wuji's gaze could always see further ahead... He knew the current Chen Ling wasn't his match, but who could say for sure what level the future Chen Ling would grow to? What if Chen Ling completely mastered the power of the Calamity of Mockery? By then, if Chen Ling madly hunted the Eternal Domain in order to Reboot the World, even he wouldn't be able to escape the palm of "Ka's" hand.
Therefore, the best thod was to directly lock Chen Ling in the Palace of Eternity, not letting him leave his line of sight, and not giving him the chance to grow.
The Lord of Wuji seed to have accomplished his goal. After confirming Chen Ling's status, he stood up and prepared to leave...
Right at this mont, as if "inadvertently" thinking of sothing, he said:
"Oh right... That area behind your Ghost Mockery Abyss is quite interesting."
The mont these words ca out, Chen Ling's gaze abruptly condensed!
Even if it was only for an instant, the Lord of Wuji, who had been harboring intentions all along, still sharply caught this subtle change.
Chen Ling imdiately pretended to be relaxed and regained his calm, raising his eyebrows:
"Oh? You actually discovered that place?"
"Those Poisonous Insects of yours hid very well underground... but their movents still couldn't escape my eyes."
"Don't bla for not warning you, that place is very dangerous." Chen Ling's gaze was a bit cold. "That is the scar left by the Red Star piercing through the Gray World. It's the graveyard of the Gray World, the Civilization Embers... Even ti becos disordered there."
"Ti..."
The Lord of Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is it only that?" the Lord of Wuji asked back. "The Red Star... didn't leave more things there?"
"No." Chen Ling shook his head decisively. "You had better leave there imdiately while you haven't gone deep, otherwise... the consequences will be unimaginable."
The Lord of Wuji nodded, and took a deep look at Chen Ling:
"Then... I understand."
He took a step, and in the next second, his figure vanished from Chen Ling's luxurious residence.
After the Lord of Wuji left, Chen Ling's calm expression instantly beca visibly gloomy... He stood up, rubbing his chin with one hand, and began to pace back and forth in the room in deep thought.
"This is bad... Letting those stupid bugs go hide there to lay low, they were actually discovered by this guy..."
"However, his personality has always been conservative and steady. After what I said, he shouldn't venture any deeper."
"If he discovers that last Red Star Fragnt, then things will really be terrible..."
Chen Ling's murmurs were extrely soft. After pacing around uneasily for a long ti, he finally let out a sigh of relief... Going back to the sofa and sitting down, he started to doze off out of boredom.
He didn't notice that,
In the corner of the ceiling where he had just been pacing, a pair of tiny "tal ears" and a pair of eyes as profound and mysterious as the Lord of Wuji's silently dissolved into the Palace of Eternity... They existed in the blind spot of his vision, and had no life aura whatsoever, unable to be detected or discovered.
Outside the doors of the Palace of Eternity, the Lord of Wuji slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the direction the Eternal Domain was currently advancing toward, a strange glimr began to flicker in those profound eyes:
"The last Red Star Fragnt... So that's how it is."
