The small lake is not large in area, but it is extremely deep. After diving for hundreds of meters, a glimmer of light came into view.
Tens of meters deeper, as the light became stronger and stronger, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, and Shen Qian entered a vacuum zone.
In the middle of the lake bottom, a huge coral radiating light was swaying. If you look closely, you can see that the coral is very similar to the shape of the door.
While Shen Qian was sizing up the "door", Venus and Hammer beside him raised their hands and threw out a ring-shaped device that emitted a faint light.
"What is that?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
"This device is called the 'spiritual ring'." Iron Hammer's voice was inexplicably deeper. "It contains our spiritual imprint. Once we fall, it will be the last information we leave to the world."
Shen Qian was startled. Isn't this just another form of suicide note?
"I see that you have already broken through the mountains and seas. Haven't you ever entered the 'Gate' yet?"
Venus glanced at Shen Qian strangely, frowned and said, "Don't you even know this?"
"This is indeed the first time."
Shen Qian, who had never gone through formal channels, touched his nose and could only tell the truth.
"The 'door' is closing, let's go."
No. 56 reminded him at this time, and then he flashed and crashed into the radiant coral first.
The three of them looked up, and sure enough, the light on the coral was disappearing. Without any further delay, Venus took the lead, with Shen in the front and center, and Hammer behind, entering the coral one after another.
At the moment when the hammer's figure disappeared inside the "door", the light of the coral instantly fell silent, and the bottom of the water became dark again.
…
This is the first time Shen Qian has passed the "door" while awake.
Time and space seem to be still, visible to the naked eye, full of all kinds of weird colors.
His body felt as if he had fallen into a whirlpool, and invisible strange forces were constantly pulling him, each force weighing more than a thousand pounds.
An ordinary martial artist would be torn to pieces in an instant.
Under the dizziness of weightlessness, Shen Qian's eyes suddenly darkened.
He raised his head and immediately saw a scene he would never forget.
A planet stared back at him.
The planet as a whole has a faint blue color, but there is a huge black gloom in the middle, running through it from top to bottom.
Shen Qian was curious at first, but soon his body was shaken violently.
Because the planet is "alive".
No, that's not a planet at all, it's an eye!
The darkness is its pupils, and when they change, they seem a bit familiar inexplicably.
What kind of creature can have such huge pupils?
Shen Qian just realized something. Countless noises suddenly flooded into his ears. As his vision blurred, strong light pierced into Shen Qian's eyes. He subconsciously squinted his eyes.
"Xiao Wang!"
The loud shout of the hammer woke up Shen Qian.
When he came to his senses and opened his eyes, he realized that he was already in a strange world.
Shen Qian leaned against a cold mountain wall. There were countless shooting stars in the blue sky, and there were countless strange singing voices in his ears. When he looked down, he saw hundreds of people in black robes waving their hands. A spiritual weapon that looks like a staff launches an attack on No. 56 and the other three people in mid-air.
The moment Shen Qian lowered his head, a huge ball of light that was like a meteor was hitting his face.
Shen Qian dodged the light ball, and with a huge roar, the mountain wall behind him collapsed.
A flash of light flashed in Shen Qian's hand, and the Shanhe Knife was already in his hand. He shouted low, slashed out with the knife, and turned into a hundred meters of sword light, falling towards the dozens of black-robed men on the ground who raised their staffs and pointed them at him. .
Boom!
The sword light dissipated, leaving only a huge continuous ravine, and the dozens of men in black robes who lived in it had long been wiped out, leaving not even a trace.
"Good sword skills!"
Iron Hammer, who was about to come over to help, stopped, sighed in admiration, and punched with his backhand, blasting away the crowd of men in black robes below.
"The second level of mountains and seas is not bad."
Venus, who was not far away, also commented, and then she dived and turned into a huge "Z", penetrating hundreds of meters of the battlefield in one second.
Blood mixed with the stumps were scattered all over the sky. Under this blow, at least hundreds of spirit wizards were killed.
Shen Qian calmed down and realized that although they seemed to be surrounded, there was actually no danger.
The spirit wizards below who are attacking the four people, purely from the perspective of combat power, most of them are just beginning to intermediate warriors.
It's just that their methods are completely different from those of human warriors, at least in terms of momentum.
If you have to make an analogy, these black-robed spirit wizards are a bit like mages in online games. Their methods are flashy, but their physical strength is extremely fragile, and even a quasi-warrior may be stronger than them.
Facing four mountain and sea warriors, even though they numbered in the thousands, it was still a one-sided massacre.
Less than three seconds after Shen Qian appeared, the valley was already in pieces, and the remaining spirit wizards fled in all directions amid howls of fear.
Under No. 56's greeting, the four of them stopped.
"This is just a small world, with an area of only 500,000 square meters, but there are still more than 300,000 spirit wizards living there, as well as some other creatures."
No. 56 explained, "Even if we kill all the low-level spirit wizards here, it doesn't make much sense."
"Uh...what is Small Thousand Worlds?"
Shen Qian couldn't help but ask.
Facing the strange looks cast by the three people, Shen Qian coughed and said, "I just broke through the mountains and seas not long ago, so I haven't had time to explain..."
Shen Qian was really in pain.
He knew that he lacked common sense, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Generally, it takes a long time for a warrior to break through a realm. With gradual progress, he will always know when he needs to know.
However, from the time Shen Qian obtained the system to the present, he has gone from being a quasi-warrior to being as powerful as the mountains and seas. The whole process did not take more than eight months. He may not even have mastered the common sense of a high-level warrior, but he has already jumped to the mountains and seas. He really has no time to stop and understand. .
"You've just broken through the mountains and seas, and you already have the combat power of the second world. It seems that your number of awakenings is quite high, Xiao Wang!"
No. 56 smiled slightly, the mask on his face vividly interpreting his expression.
"It would be strange if someone who can enter the Hall of Hundred Kings doesn't even have this ability."
Venus seemed careless.
Tie Zhui was not too surprised and just patted Shen Qian's shoulder to show his approval.
Only then did Shen Qian feel a little strange.
Because from the attitudes of the three people, he got a strange experience that he had never experienced in the outside world.
Having just broken through the mountains and seas to have the combat power of the Second World was a terrifying thing in the eyes of ordinary warriors, but the three of them only thought it was ordinary.
This sense of atmosphere, which was exclusive to the exchanges between top geniuses, made Shen Qian feel a little dazed.
"The worlds behind the 'doors' are different. The level of the 'door' can only define the degree of danger, but it may not accurately indicate the vastness of the world. That's why we have the term 'small thousand worlds'."
No. 56 explained: "It is originally a Buddhist term that extends to the world behind the 'door'. According to the concentration of spiritual energy and the vastness of the world, it can be divided into small thousand worlds, middle thousand worlds and great thousand worlds."
"What is the earth?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
"...There is no way to define it." No. 56 said after silence, "The earth is very special and does not belong to any of these three types."
"Why?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"Because the earth originally had no aura, and it has never had it since ancient times."
Venus then said, "The so-called revival of spiritual energy is just a lie. Even in ancient times, spiritual energy has never been born on the earth. All spiritual energy flows from other worlds."
"Indeed." Iron Hammer also nodded, "I have been to many worlds behind the 'door', and so far, only the earth does not produce spiritual energy."
"How do you know that there was no spiritual energy in ancient times? Isn't it said by ancient immortals and gods? Then what did they rely on for cultivation?"
Shen Qian, who heard such a statement for the first time, asked after being surprised.
"It is true that immortals and gods may have existed in ancient times, but brother, please don't forget that in ancient times there was a legend about three realms. Heaven and underworld were never said to exist on earth!"
Venus chuckled and classified Shen Qian as an ignorant junior.
Shen Qian was speechless for a moment.
But he had to admit that what Venus said did make sense.
"Then if the earth has no aura, why would there be so many 'doors'?"
Shen Qian murmured.
The more he knew, the more confused he became.
"That's not clear. Haven't you seen that outside academic experts have been arguing for hundreds of years about why the 'Gate' appeared?"
Venus yawned, and her veil was blown slightly, revealing her sexy red lips.
"Isn't it because I wanted to dig out the secrets of the Witch King that I embarked on a path of no return?"
Shen Qian's body trembled.
Qian Wu King is the only Martial King whose whereabouts are clear among the many missing Nine Kings of the first generation.
According to the news, King Qian Wu fell into the starry sky in order to explore the mysteries of the universe. It turned out that his death was actually related to exploring the secrets of the "door".
"Okay, don't make any unreasonable comments about the late king."
No. 56 seemed to dislike this topic, frowned, and interrupted the discussion between Venus and Shen Qian.
"What should we do now? Directly destroy the 'door'?"
Iron Hammer asked in a deep voice.
Destroy the "door"...
When Shen Qian heard such words, he still felt a little strange in his heart.
Even for hostile "sects", there is endless debate within the human race as to whether they should be wiped out like Tantai Qin did.
The death of hundreds of thousands or even millions of creatures at every turn must be carefully considered by everyone.
But in the cruel racial war, this seems to be the only way to solve the problem once and for all.
"Whether the 'Sect' should be destroyed or not is up for debate. I prefer to find substantial evidence first. If the Spirit Witch Clan is indeed stealing my human race's destiny, then it doesn't matter if the 'Sect' is destroyed!"
No. 56 said calmly, but he had a domineering air.
"It's unrealistic to just rely on the four of us, right?"
Shen Qian raised doubts.
It's not a question of whether they can be defeated, it's just that with hundreds of thousands of people, it will take a long time to kill them even if they stand still, let alone that they are scattered over hundreds of thousands of square meters of land.
It was impossible for Shen Qian to spend a year and a half here.
"Destroying the 'Sect' is not what you think. It has to kill all living things... Of course, that is also one way, but there is another way."
Venus explained: "Find the source of life in this world and extinguish the source, and the world will wither. No more spiritual energy will be born in this world, and it will directly become a dead place."
Shen Qian nodded suddenly.
"Grass!"
At this time, an angry curse came from below.
The three of them lowered their heads and discovered that the hammer had fallen to the ground at some point. They were holding a blue glass vessel with indignant expressions on their faces.
The three of them landed on the ground one after another, their eyes fixed on the glass bottle in the hammer's hand.
"I dug it out of the ground. If nothing else happens, there should be many more underground."
The sound of the hammer was a little heavy.
In the glass vessel, there is a swirling mist-like white gas with sparkling crystal light, mixed with some red.
As if to confirm something, No. 56 pulled out the cork of the bottle, and the white light suddenly floated out and entered Shen Qian's body almost without any pause.
Shen Qian was startled, but he felt nothing after the white light entered his body. He couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, only to see the three people looking at him with that weird look again.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qian looked at himself.
"This is the manifested luck..." Tie Zhui said dullly first.
"No. 56 released it to confirm whether it is my human race's destiny." Venus also followed with complicated eyes.
"But it entered your body directly." No. 56 did not seem so calm.
"Uh, what does this mean?" Shen Qian humbly asked for advice.
"The place or person where this destiny originally belongs has disappeared, then it is the destiny without an owner. The destiny without an owner usually only chooses the person with the strongest destiny to join."
No. 56 said calmly, "This means...you are more lucky than us."
"Judging from its choice without any hesitation, it is not even a little bit powerful." Venus added.
"Oh, this... you may not know that I have won the first prize in the exam before, so a lot of luck from my hometown has been concentrated on me."
Shen Qian explained nonchalantly.
After he finished speaking, he found that the three of them were looking at him again like they were idiots.
"...What's wrong?" Shen Qian was helpless.
He felt that asking questions all the time would make him look stupid, but he was really confused.
"Do you think any of the three of us has never gathered luck?"
Venus sneered and said: "Hmph, you can only get the luck of a city at most, but I have gathered the luck of half a country!"
"Half a country?" Shen Qian was surprised.
"...I'm a mixed race!"
"Well, no matter what, since we can confirm that this is indeed the luck of the human race, then..."
No. 56 interrupted the two of them again, then turned to face the broken soil under his feet and waved his hand violently.
boom!
Countless pieces of soil rose into the sky within a few hundred radius, followed by hundreds of glass vessels similar to those held by No. 56, and...
Countless broken bones.
Bits and pieces, but more than thousands.
"They are all the bones of my human race..."
"Asshole!"
With their sharp eyesight, they could easily tell at a glance what race the bones buried deep in the ground belonged to.
Shen Qian was also silent.
"Let's go, today... we will destroy the 'Sect'."
No. 56 took a breath and said calmly.
