Chapter 1646

Long Fei's name turned golden, resplendent and dazzling. It seemed to bear witness to this first person in ten thousand years. The golden light illuminated the entire city for a long time.

As the golden light shone, the entire city fell into cheers. This was a historical moment. Long Fei, who had occupied first place for ten thousand years, was finally going to be replaced by a newcomer.

Long Fei's name faded in the golden light, representing the end of an era.

Zi Chen's name jumped to the top, heralding the arrival of a new era.

A new generation would replace the old.

Zi Chen: One, two, three, five, four.

This was Zi Chen's contribution. He had surpassed Long Fei and directly reached the top.

At this historical moment, the entire city was cheering. The first place name was so eye-catching. It meant that there was a successor, and the future generation had potential that was not inferior to the previous generation.

However, on the list, other than the dazzling Zi Chen, the rest of the rankings were terrible.

If one said that Zi Chen had become the beginning of an era and that he deserved to be first, then everyone below Zi Chen, except for Wharton, was a joke.

At the very least, they did not deserve to be on the list for now.

However, the beginning of an era was like this. As time passed, the rest of the positions would be occupied by some experts.

After witnessing this historical moment, more than eighty percent of the cultivators had to retreat. Among them, all the Eighth Tier cultivators had to leave, while some Ninth Tier cultivators stayed to guard.

The situation had stabilized, and Xu Hou was about to leave. No one cared about how he felt. At this moment, everyone was talking about Zi Chen.

After creating a historical beginning, everyone was looking forward to Zi Chen's future development.

…

…

In the Dax Plain, Zi Chen welcomed another breakthrough.

With the help of the divine seal, he finally raised his battle strength to the peak. Now, his Thunder King Physique had reached Seven Stars, and his Knife Drawing Technique could be transformed into seventy-nine. He broke through to the late Seventh Tier.

It took him an entire day to break through. After calculating that his contribution points were as high as first place, he gave up on the idea of going deeper and turned to walk to the periphery.

At the periphery, Zi Chen saw Shuntian and the others. During the war, they often hunted other races.

After gathering, they walked toward the Blackstone Mountains.

In the past few months, the battle prowess of the rest of the people who had obtained special cultivation techniques had increased exponentially.

Zi Chen called everyone over and said, "Everyone, now that the situation has stabilized, it's time to go back. But for the sake of safety, I suggest that everyone return in small groups in batches."

Everyone looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

"Go back. You're all free now. No one can order you around. We've been fighting non-stop for a while now. I think everyone must be tired. It's a good time to go back to the city and rest."

During this time, each of them had accumulated a lot of wealth, enough for them to go back and live a peaceful life for a while.

The team was thus disbanded. They would return to the city in a few days, but there were fourteen people who didn't leave. Excluding Mamoru and Viper, there were twelve people left in the team.

There were eleven people that Zi Chen trusted, including Ye Ming.

Ye Ming had followed them out back then. Of course, he was not there for Zi Chen, but for Jin Qingcheng.

Perhaps it was because he was worried about her safety, or because he was worried that something would happen between her and Zi Chen. Even though Jin Qingcheng never gave him a good look, he still followed her.

"You're not going back." Fortune Teller looked at Zi Chen strangely.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

As he said that, he glanced at Mamoru.

Everyone immediately understood. In this world, if you wanted to get something, you had to pay a price.

And to everyone, Mamoru had always been paying a price, but he had never received anything in return.

"Take care." Fortune Teller stepped forward and gave Zi Chen a hug.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "You too."

After that, Shendao came up to hug him. Man Shi, Wu Xie, and the others came one by one.

"Be careful." Shangguan Hong hugged Zi Chen gently and smiled.

Ever since Zi Chen revealed his thoughts that night, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them. This barrier made the two of them become friends.

"You too." Of course, Zi Chen felt this barrier, but he didn't say anything. This might be the best ending.

The two of them were just friends, or they could only be friends.

"I'll be sad if you die. I'll also pray for you," Dong Qing came to Zi Chen's side and said softly as he hugged him.

"Thank you," Zi Chen said politely.

After that, it was Jin Qingcheng. Her attitude toward Zi Chen had always been unclear. At this moment, she only said that it was completely the best.

After hugging each other, Zi Chen was shocked to find that Ye Ming was actually standing at the back.

The latter took the initiative to hug each other. Then, a voice transmission sounded in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness, "I hope you never come back."

Zi Chen replied through voice transmission, "Your hope will never come true."

"You'd better die early. Don't harass my Qingcheng."

"If I can come back, I'll try to woo her."

"I can see that you'll definitely die this time. You'll never come back."

"…"

The two of them hugged each other for a short while. Their expressions did not change, but their spiritual senses were constantly "communicating".

"Hmph." In the end, Ye Ming snorted coldly and turned to leave.

However, after walking for more than ten meters, he realized that no one was following him. He leaned against an ancient tree gloomily.

At this moment, everyone was bidding farewell to Shoumu and Viper. They had fought side by side for more than a year and could be considered comrades.

"Hey, I'll remember you guys. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask," Man Shi punched Viper's chest and said casually.

"I will," Viper said.

It was inevitable that they would be sad to part, so Zi Chen and the other two left first.

Their next stop would be Shoumu's world.

On the way, Shoumu handed Zi Chen a storage bag, "Here, your things. There are also some spirit crystals inside. I specially refined them. They'll be useful for the next trip."

Zi Chen took the storage bag and opened it. He saw that it was filled with spirit crystals, but they were not ordinary spirit crystals. Their quality was much higher.

"These are spirit crystals second only to level 3. They're very suitable for you," Shoumu explained.

Obviously, they were specially refined. Zi Chen poured out the spirit crystals inside and handed the storage bag to Shoumu.

Shoumu did not take it. "If everything went smoothly, I wouldn't have come out. It's useless to have this thing."

Zi Chen smiled and said, "It's good to put things in."

Seeing Zi Chen's insistence, Shoumu smiled and took it.

"Tell me about your place."

"Okay, but before that, let me introduce myself. My name is Shoumu."

"Shoumu." Zi Chen understood the meaning behind his words.

"That's right, I'm the guardian of the Dragon Tomb."

"The guardian of the Dragon Tomb. There are dragons buried in the Dragon Tomb."

"The great Dragon God and his people are buried there."

Zi Chen was shocked and asked, "There's a group of dragons buried there."

"Yes."

Shoumu nodded and said, "Our clan has guarded the Dragon Tomb for generations. According to the prophecy, the Dragon God and his people will gradually wake up from their deep sleep."

This sentence made Zi Chen think of the Saint Burial Ground of the Tianwu Continent and he fell into deep thought.

"You don't believe it." Seeing that Zi Chen was silent, Shoumu turned his head and asked.

"I believe it, of course I believe it. I once saw a powerhouse resurrect from the dead with my own eyes." Zi Chen thought of the Saint who was said to have also come to the Zhanwu Continent.

Zi Chen still remembered the conversation with the powerhouse who was in charge of the Human Road. The other party not only controlled the Human Road, but also the Heaven Road and the Earth Road.

The two Demon Sovereigns who were sealed at that time were Sovereigns when they were alive. After that, they didn't die and schemed against everyone to absorb their power. At the last moment, they completely erupted.

Zi Chen didn't know if the two Demon Sovereigns had recovered to their peak state. If they had recovered, they would be two Sovereigns. If not, they would be World Lords at the very least. However, those two powerhouses were forcibly sucked dry. From this, it could be seen how dangerous the Saint Burial Ground was.

Since the Dragon God mentioned by Shoumu also had the possibility of awakening, it was obvious that this Dragon Tomb was equivalent to another Saint Burial Ground. The degree of danger was simply indescribable.

"What do you need me to do?" Seeing that this wasn't a simple matter, Zi Chen asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know what happened in the Dragon Tomb. The Dragon Soul suddenly leaked out and turned into a new kind of creature. Our clan encountered trouble, and I had to leave that small world to find a way to help our clan."

"That method is related to the Dragon Spear."

"Yes, those creatures are immortal. The Dragon Soul can't be extinguished. However many are killed, they can be reborn. I saw that your Dragon Spear had a devouring method. Perhaps it can deal with those creatures."

"Just kill those creatures. It's that simple."

Shoumu nodded, indicating that the matter was indeed very simple.

As long as they didn't enter the Dragon Tomb, it would be easy. The danger outside would be much lower.

Walking into the depths of the Blackstone Mountain Range, Shoumu began to carve and draw on the ground. These were all Dao runes that could connect to the laws of heaven and earth.

"This is a teleportation array?" Zi Chen asked, puzzled.

"Yes. If we had to walk, we might not be able to reach the small world in ten years," Shoumu said without raising his head. Viper was beside him helping.

"Ten years? How long have you been out?"

"About a thousand years. During this time, we have already crossed three domains." This time, it was Viper who answered.

"A thousand years have passed. Don't you think it's too late to go back now?"

"We used a treasure to lock the time there. A hundred years in the outside world is only a year there. Now, only ten years have passed. It's not too late."

Just as they were talking, Shoumu finished carving the teleportation array. With the injection of energy, the teleportation array was completely activated.

The energy between heaven and earth gathered from all directions and constantly surged into the teleportation array. At the same time, the power of the rules surrounded the teleportation array.

The activation of the teleportation array was quite grand.

"Let's go." Shoumu stepped into the teleportation array that was flashing with a dazzling light. Zi Chen and Viper followed.

The dazzling light flashed and the three disappeared. At the same time, the teleportation array that was previously carved on the ground disappeared as well.

As soon as the three disappeared, the space distorted again. A figure in a black robe walked out of it.

Under the black robe, his face and skin were green, as if he had been poisoned. Although he had facial features, he didn't look like a human at all.
