Chapter 1527

Human nature could not withstand the test and was not meant to be tested.

This sentence was a classic in the ears of the battle spirits.

All of the battle spirits present had lived for two lifetimes and naturally understood what Zi Chen meant.

Even if there was a test, some people would choose righteousness and some would choose to give up. So what?

Zi Chen only had one chance to open the Nether Realm. Naturally, he would not give this chance to others. He would only give it to himself or to those who made the same choice as him.

Therefore, it was meaningless for others to choose not to.

Moreover, Zi Chen was now standing on the side of righteousness for humanity.

In the Starry Sky City, Zi Chen's summons resounded. Everyone came excitedly.

A cultivator joked, "We're going back so soon. I still have a lot of good things to collect."

The others laughed. It was obvious that everyone was in a good mood.

Zi Chen's expression was gloomy as he swept his gaze across the crowd.

Everyone's excitement gradually disappeared because of Zi Chen's gloomy expression. Under Zi Chen's expression, everyone suddenly felt a pressure in their hearts. They had a bad feeling in their hearts. They all thought that there would be an unforeseen event.

In the Starry Sky City that was covered in corpses, a group of humans gathered together. They did not say a word and the atmosphere was very silent and oppressive.

"Everyone, first of all, congratulations on being alive. Next, I have bad news for everyone. It is very, very, very bad news." Zi Chen emphasized in a clear voice.

Everyone's expression changed because they could vaguely guess what the bad news was.

"That's right. Everyone might have guessed it. We can't go back. To be precise, we can't go back from the Starry Sky City." Zi Chen said again.

"Why can't we go back?" A cultivator asked in confusion.

"That's because the perfect domain seed I've refined doesn't match the outsider's laws in this space."

"What should we do if it doesn't match?" Everyone looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stretched out two fingers and said, "Now, there are two ways. One is to give up and live here until the end of our lives. The other is to find a space that matches my laws. Once we find that place, we can enter and leave alive."

The crowd began to discuss animatedly.

In the Netherworld, there was only this single large space, and there was no such thing as a small space. So if everyone wanted to find another matching space, it was undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Everyone, let's hurry up and search. If we can't find it in three days, I can only lead everyone to fight."

Although they knew that there was no hope in three days, the anxious crowd had no choice but to disperse and find their way home.

Looking at the anxious crowd, Zi Chen couldn't help but blame himself, but this was the most reasonable solution he could think of.

The ignorant are fearless.

While everyone was searching for the strange space that Zi Chen had mentioned, Zi Chen sat cross-legged on the city wall and waited quietly.

The three days were actually for the fourteen people who were seriously injured to recover.

Zi Chen could guess that there would be one more battle, and it would be the final battle.

There shouldn't be many battle spirits, but each and every one of them was a powerhouse.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Naturally, no one found anything and returned dejectedly.

The fourteen people who were originally injured had recovered from their injuries in these three days, and their battle strength had returned to peak condition.

Everyone gathered again, and Man Shi asked, "What's the last method?"

Zi Chen stretched out his hand, and a glowing mini mountain appeared. Zi Chen gently held the mountain and asked, "Does anyone remember this?"

This was the mountain spirit king, who didn't know?

Along the way, this fellow had played a crucial role. The mountain spirit king's contribution to the survival of so many people couldn't go unnoticed. Moreover, Zi Chen had spent a lot of effort to subdue it. It was also at that time that everyone learned that if Zi Chen died, none of them would be able to leave.

"Isn't this the mountain spirit king? Why did you take it out?" Man Shi asked, puzzled.

Zi Chen weighed the mountain in his hand and said, "It took me several days to subdue it. Actually, I didn't tell everyone the truth. It didn't take me much time to subdue it. During those few days, I was fighting with another spiritual sense. That spiritual sense wasn't weak, and I've kept it until now."

Everyone wasn't stupid. After hearing Zi Chen's words, their expressions changed.

"You mean that spiritual sense is still there?" This time, it was Shuntian who spoke.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "That's right. The spiritual sense is still there, which means that the master isn't dead. I'm guessing that the place where the spiritual sense is located is the place where we can leave. Now, I'm 65% confident that I can find that place the moment I cut off the spiritual sense."

When everyone heard this, they didn't show any joy. After fighting with Zi Chen's spiritual sense for so long, the other party was undoubtedly a powerhouse, a true powerhouse.

If there was only one powerhouse in that place, then it would be fine. If there were many of them, then it would be dangerous to barge in.

"The foreign battle spirits here are too weak. Even the leaders are only so-so. At first, I had some doubts, but now it seems that my suspicions are true. There is another space here, and that space has a true battle spirit powerhouse." The fortune teller hit the nail on the head.

Everyone's already ugly expressions turned even uglier because of this.

"Today, I've gathered everyone here to tell you about this matter. Then, I'll let you decide for yourselves whether to find this place or not. If you find it, whether to go in or not. Everyone here will have one vote, and the decision will be decided by voting. The minority obeys the majority.

Zi Chen held the mini mountain and looked at everyone. "Those who agree, raise your left hand. Those who disagree, raise your right hand."

"Is there even a need to vote? It's obvious that we have to go. Otherwise, how are we going to go back?" Man Shi's loud voice rang out, and then he raised his right hand.

"Cough, those who agree, raise your left hand." Zi Chen coughed lightly.

Man Shi smiled awkwardly and quickly changed his hand.

"I want to go back. Even if there is danger on the way back, I want to go back."

Shun Tiandao raised his left hand and said seriously. "This time, if I can escape from death, after I go back, I will ignore the elders' objections and ask for a wife who will care about me and love me."

While speaking, Shun Tiandao winked at Dong Qing and Shang Guan Hong.

Along the way, the two of them were worried and trusting of Zi Chen. Their expressions made people feel conflicted. As long as one was not a fool, one could see their thoughts.

But it was a pity that although Zi Chen was a competent leader, he was not a real man. He always tried to escape. It was really petty. However, people liked this kind of petty. It made people envious and jealous.

Recently, even Wushuang and Jin Qingcheng looked at Zi Chen with a somewhat ambiguous gaze. This made people feel uncomfortable.

Dong Qing and Shang Guan Hong's faces turned red. They did not say anything, but they obediently raised their left hand.

"Hmph, I want to go back too." Wushuang snorted and raised her hand.

Lang Wei chuckled and said, "I want to go back too. I want to be the matchmaker for Sister Wushuang."

Wushuang hit Lang Wei's head and glared at him. "Who asked you to be the matchmaker?"

"Sister Wushuang, don't hit my head. It's inauspicious," Lang Wei said strangely.

"Pfft, what do you mean inauspicious?" Wushuang glared again and rubbed Lang Wei's head gently. The latter chuckled again.

"Everyone is talking about getting a wife when they go back. Of course, I want to go back too. When I go back, I will marry Qingcheng. By then, everyone will come to the wedding." Ye Ming smiled and looked at Jin Qingcheng.

The latter was expressionless. Ye Ming smiled proudly and secretly looked at Zi Chen. The latter was expressionless too.

Ye Ming was from Golden Leaf City. His identity was on par with Jin Qingcheng. If he really went back alive, Ye Ming's prominent identity would be obvious.

Although Zi Chen was the leader now, if he really left, the gap between Zi Chen and Ye Ming's identity would be reversed, just like the gap between the two's combat power.

This was originally a joke from Shuntian Dao. Unexpectedly, everyone used it to make a fuss. Everyone said that they wanted to get a wife. In an instant, the atmosphere was stirred up. Everyone's sensitivity to danger was greatly reduced.

Since they chose to leave, they naturally had to fight.

Zi Chen looked at the crowd again. After this battle, he did not know how many people could really go back and get a wife. He suddenly became sad and a little depressed. He said, "Everyone, we have been fighting side by side all this time. We are brothers of life and death. If there is anything you need from me, Zi Chen, if I don't die, you can ask me for help in the future."

Everyone nodded. This was a separation of life and death. Many people who were emotional also felt sad.

However, there were some who did not think so. Besides his identity as the leader, Zi Chen's other identity was that of Hu Ping City.

Who would go to Hu Ping City to ask for help?

Their cities were all ranked at the top. There were countless powerhouses in their clans. Although Zi Chen was currently suppressing everyone and had the greatest combat power, once he went to the outside world, there would be many powerhouses who could kill Zi Chen without the restriction of the prefectural boundaries.

Of course, those who had such thoughts did not express their thoughts. They only nodded solemnly. After all, Zi Chen was still the leader.

However, Zi Chen was so smart that he could definitely be called a master. The other party's eyes flashed, and he already guessed what the other party was thinking. He smiled but felt a little awkward. He did not expect to be ignored when he expressed his feelings.

The youth in linen clothes, Shuntian Dao, was very innocent. He did not know what the others were thinking. He was affected by Zi Chen's words and said emotionally, "Zi Chen is my big brother. His words are my words. If we go back alive, we will be brothers of life and death. If you need help, just ask someone to ask."

Shuntian Dao was a titled cultivator of Shuntian City. His combat power was only slightly weaker than Zi Chen's, but his status was hundreds of levels higher than Zi Chen's. His words naturally carried a lot of weight.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and they also had a higher opinion of Zi Chen.

Everything else aside, with Shuntian Dao's help in the future, Zi Chen would naturally be able to reach a very high level.

If Zi Chen left Hu Ping City, Shuntian Dao would definitely try to rope him into Shuntian City. In this way, Zi Chen's status would naturally be high.

There was still a long way to go before they could go back.

Thus, everyone had to think about their future. If they took the opportunity to befriend the geniuses of some major forces, there would only be benefits and no harm in the future.

Thus, after Zi Chen expressed his feelings, some other thoughts appeared in everyone's minds.

PS: This chapter was originally going to be called Human Nature, but after thinking about it, I decided not to embarrass myself. The human heart represents the individual, and the general meaning of human nature is too great.
