Chapter 1189

"But if we work together and pass the trial as soon as possible, we will be able to gain control of this Celestial Realm. By then, you will still have time to save everyone.

"If we work together, I will only save myself, but you will be able to save countless of your companions. This is not a bad deal, right?"

Gu Chen and the rest fell silent and retracted their killing intent.

If it was just to pass the Celestial Emperor trial, they would not have to work together with Fang Wen. At most, they would be trapped here for a long time.

But now that the lives of the outside world were involved, the situation was different.

One must know that the immortal god allied army was the entire force of the Ninth Realm. They were the elites of the 67 starfields. If all of them died, the Ninth Realm would be finished!

Fang Wen's plan was too vicious. He actually kidnapped everyone!

"Alright, let's work together."

Gu Chen smiled coldly and the black whirlpool in his palm disappeared.

Now, they would pretend to work together with Fang Wen. When they found a way to pass the trial, they would attack him.

"En, then from now on, we will be partners. Don't worry, I will do my best in the following trials."

Fang Wen smiled as if he was not worried that Gu Chen would cheat.

Gu Chen and the rest exchanged glances and knew what was going on.

Fang Wen did not mention how they would split the Celestial Emperor's inheritance. They did not mention it either. In reality, they were forced to work together because of the situation.

When the situation changed, their attitude would change. Fang Wen would too.

As for who would have the last laugh, it would depend on who was stronger!

The team of five had one more member. Everyone ignored the corpses of Thousand Eyed Demon and the rest and started to discuss how to pass the trials.

"Everyone, which bronze door did you choose when you first entered the Tomb of the Celestial Emperor?"

Fang Wen asked amicably.

"We chose the left bronze door." Tang Ning smiled and answered.

Everyone present was either experienced or experienced. Since they had decided to work together, even though they were at loggerheads just a moment ago, they were all hypocritical and polite now.

"As expected."

When Fang Wen heard this, he smiled and said, "I chose the right one previously."

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood. It was indeed so!

Both the left and right doors were difficult trials where they had to pass through hundreds of millions of trials. This meant that they were not unlucky!

The Celestial Thearch's trial indeed had ulterior motives!

Even though everyone had already guessed it, now that they had confirmed it, the worry in their hearts dissipated quite a bit.

"Since he has to pass the hundred million checkpoints no matter what he chooses, why did the Celestial Thearch do this? I think this is a trap to prevent Xing Jun from finding the Tomb of the Emperor of Heaven and taking away the inheritance. "

Fang Wen analyzed and changed the topic. "However, it's impossible for the Celestial Emperor's inheritance to disappear just like that, so I'm guessing that the real way to pass the trial should be hidden in some of the hundreds of millions of checkpoints."

"Only by finding the hint left behind by the Celestial Thearch can I pass the trial."

Fang Wen's words enlightened everyone. Previously, they had thought that the Sky Sovereign had nothing better to do by setting up hundreds of millions of checkpoints. However, when they thought about the threat that the Xing County had posed in the past, it was no longer strange. Instead, they began to admire the Sky Sovereign's strategy.

"If the Celestial Thearch left a hint in the checkpoint, this hint must fulfill two conditions."

"Firstly, the people of Xing County will not be able to tell that something is wrong. Secondly, he must be able to find a suitable successor so that he will not miss the opportunity. As long as these two conditions are met, he will be able to find a suitable successor to pass on his teachings. "

Fang Wen narrowed down the area that everyone needed to focus on and spoke in anticipation.

"Now, please think about it. Did such a hint appear in the previous thousand or so checkpoints?"

As someone from the outside world, it was impossible for him to find the hint left behind by the Celestial Thearch. That was why he placed all his hopes on Gu Chen and the others. Because of this, he killed the Thousand Eyed Demon and the others, who had no value to him, without hesitation.

Gu Chen and the others were initially worried that Fang Wen would play tricks. However, now that the most important clue was with them, they felt much more relaxed.

Everyone thought back to the previous checkpoints in detail, trying to find a hint similar to the Celestial Thearch's.

In fact, Gu Chen had been thinking about this for a long time. Therefore, he had searched the previous checkpoints in great detail. Now that he closed his eyes, everything that had happened in the past half a month appeared in his mind.

Fang Wen's appearance helped him clear up many of his thoughts. He eliminated some unnecessary guesses and his thinking efficiency increased greatly.

Now that he thought about it, those thousand or so checkpoints were too complicated. Putting aside the fact that the environments were worlds apart, the enemies that appeared were also of all shapes and sizes. There was no connection at all.

After understanding the Celestial Thearch's original intentions, Gu Chen simplified the complicated ones. He suddenly felt that those thousand or so checkpoints were just a smokescreen to confuse and disturb others. There were no important hints.

If they squeezed their brains to think about those places, they would block their vision and miss out on the truly important hints.

"Looks like the real hint is still at the back," Gu Chen muttered to himself.

"It's okay if you guys can't think of any clues for now. There are still many checkpoints at the back. Let's study them as we go.

"However, everyone, please remember that time waits for no man. Every minute that passes, the outside world will be more dangerous."

Fang Wen reminded them with a smile like he was an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

Everyone ignored him. After pondering hard but to no avail, they stepped into the next checkpoint.

With the addition of Fang Wen, the efficiency of clearing the checkpoints did not increase by much. In reality, Fang Wen rarely took action. Most of the time, he was just gossiping at the side.

The others did not say anything. They understood his concerns.

He was alone. If he put in too much effort in the checkpoints, the risk of them plotting against him would increase exponentially. Anyone with a brain would choose to do so.

Putting aside Fang Wen's slacking, Tang Ning, Zuo Chunqiu, and the others realized that Gu Chen's method of clearing the checkpoints was slightly different from before.

Previously, after clearing a checkpoint, he would definitely check the checkpoint carefully, hoping to find some clues.

However, he seemed to have a filter now. He only glanced at the majority of the checkpoints, saving most of his energy.

Everyone realized that Gu Chen probably had some ideas and was no longer like a headless fly. They secretly looked forward to it.

They only watched quietly and did not say much to Gu Chen. They were afraid that Fang Wen, who was beside him, would notice something.

Everyone advanced with ulterior motives. After two and a half days, they stepped into a bustling human city.

"Selling candied fruits. It's free if it's not sweet!"

"Freshly made soup dumplings. Only one copper coin per steamer!"

This checkpoint was suddenly devoid of the dangerous environment and terrifying monsters. Instead, it was filled with the aura of a marketplace filled with mortals.

Gu Chen's group of six stopped on the bustling street. They looked at the peaceful scene around them and listened to the peddlers' cries. Their gazes turned solemn.
