Chapter 1272

The spaceship slowly landed on a plaza made from an unknown dark purple crystal, and the cabin door slowly opened.

"Master Gu, we've arrived at Xing Realm."

Wu Li's voice came from outside the door. Gu Chen immediately stood up, dressed in a white robe, and slowly walked out of his room.

Of course he knew that they had arrived at Xing Realm. Before entering this world, he had already seen the eight pitch-black, ferocious pillars that crisscrossed inside and outside.

The eight pillars pierced deep into the earth and into the clouds, as if they were holding up this world.

They were more magnificent than any mountain Gu Chen had ever seen. Outside them was a huge protective shield that enveloped this world, and inside, the entire Xing Realm was filled with a heavy, oppressive, and cold metallic feeling.

Looking into the distance, there were very few plants here, and most of them were strange black steel buildings.

This did not seem like a world that nurtured countless creatures, but more like a military camp, a heavily guarded prison, and a huge beast that was ready to pounce on people at any time.

When Gu Chen got off the spaceship, Feng Yaya was already waiting by the side. Seeing him looking around, she teased him. "How is it? Is this place very different from what you imagined? "

"There are no ordinary creatures in Xing Realm?" Gu Chen asked casually.

"If you're talking about those who live and work in peace, do manual labor day after day, and reproduce generation after generation, then they don't exist in Xing Realm."

Feng Yaya knew what Gu Chen meant by ordinary creatures. She shook her head, and then her expression became serious.

"There are only two kinds of people in Xing Realm. One is the soldier, and the other is the slave."

Her words were simple and easy to understand, so Gu Chen immediately understood. Although there were some discrepancies, Xing Realm was just as he imagined, a world without temperature.

"Let's go."

He said no more and walked out of the plaza side by side with Feng Yaya.

Wu Li was a step behind them, not daring to walk side by side.

"Welcome back, my lords!"

Tall and mighty soldiers stood on both sides of the spaceship. When the three of them walked past, orderly greetings immediately sounded.

The voices of these soldiers were too similar, and even their bodies were well-proportioned. Gu Chen couldn't help but take a closer look at them. He didn't know how they were carefully selected.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that even their appearances were exactly the same. Their expressions were wooden and their eyes were empty.

"That's the Torture Puppet, the army in charge of guarding the Torture Realm."

Feng Yaya answered Gu Chen's doubts.

"Are they still alive?"

Gu Chen asked expressionlessly. He possessed the Life and Death Essence, so he could sense a certain amount of life force from these soldiers. They did not seem like pure puppets.

"The body lives, but the soul dies."

Gu Chen was silent. He could imagine what they had been through.

As the three of them walked, a large number of Xing Hou kept saluting, as if this was the meaning of their existence.

When he walked out of the square, the large barbed wire in the distance immediately attracted Gu Chen's attention.

His five senses were sharp, and he could hear screams and wails coming from behind the iron net. Some of the voices even sounded very young.

"What are those places used for?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

"They're the research institute of the Ministry of Works," Wu Li answered quickly.

In order to let Gu Chen familiarize himself with the Torture Realm as soon as possible, she even gave him a special introduction.

"The Xing Beasts, the army of Xing Ghosts, and the Xing Hou Lord Gu just saw are all weapons made by the Ministry of Works."

"The weapons made by the Ministry of Works are of great help to the expansion of the Torture Realm. When Lord Gu's position is confirmed, it's best to have a good relationship with the people of the Ministry of Works. This will save you a lot of trouble in the future."

Wu Li reminded Gu Chen, trying to win his favor, but she didn't notice that Gu Chen's eyes were hiding a trace of coldness as he looked at the iron net.

She began to talk incessantly, showing off her erudition. Under her introduction, Gu Chen learned a lot of shocking things.

For example, the ten billion Xing Beasts that almost destroyed the Ninth Realm Coalition Army were born in the research institute ahead.

The researchers of the Ministry of Works dissected different Yao Beasts, extracted their specific bloodline powers, and modified them to create Xing Beasts in large quantities.

Xing Beasts had thick skin, strong reproductive abilities, fearlessness, and many other characteristics that could be used on the battlefield. So they were all created on purpose.

As a result, a terrifying Xing Beast army was born. Normal armies were powerless against them.

"The Xing Beast army has always been successful on the battlefield, and has helped my Torture Realm destroy many rebellious worlds. Of course, they can only deal with small fries at best. When facing an expert like Lord Gu, no matter how many there are, it's meaningless. "

Wu Li didn't forget to compliment Gu Chen. On the entire journey on the flying ship, Gu Chen had been cultivating in seclusion, so she hadn't had the chance to get close to him.

After returning to the Torture Realm, she began to worry that the crushing defeat in the Ninth Realm would affect her future advancement, so she staked everything on this and did her best to curry favor with Gu Chen.

Yet when Gu Chen heard her compliments, his face remained expressionless. Only when he heard how these Xing Beasts and Xing Ghosts were born did a strange light flash through his eyes.

"Idiot, you want to curry favor with him without even figuring out what he likes. Every one of the Ministry of Works' Killing Weapons is extremely bloody, and many innocent souls are hidden behind them. To this man, these are probably all things he loathes. "

Feng Yaya watched as Wu Li tried her best to curry favor with Gu Chen and shook her head.

Wu Li continued to talk nonstop, but Gu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Not far away, behind the barbed wire, a human girl with long golden hair and tattered clothes was resting her hands on the wire as she stared at Gu Chen.

Her large eyes still contained traces of childlike innocence, but her entire body was covered in wounds.

"What are you standing there for? If you disturb the lords, they'll take your life!"

When the guard behind the wire saw several lords of unknown status look over, he hurriedly raised the whip in his hand and fiercely lashed the girl, urging her to move further away from the wire.

The girl's body trembled, but she seemed to have gotten used to the pain. She didn't say anything and turned to leave under the scolding of the guard.

As Gu Chen watched her leave, he felt an indescribable pressure.

"Where did those people come from?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"The Xing Commandery has been waging war against various worlds all year round. A portion of the living beings of those worlds that were unwilling to submit were slaughtered, but a portion were also sent to the Torture Realm as captives."

Feng Yaya gazed at the girl and seemed to have thought of something. Her gaze became somewhat complicated as she answered Gu Chen's question before Wu Li did.

Only now did Gu Chen realize what Feng Yaya meant when she said that the Torture Realm only had soldiers and slaves.

"What will happen to them in the end?" he couldn't help but ask.
