In the ancient city, there was a mysterious and terrifying forbidden area located in the depths of the wilderness.

It was very quiet here, and there were no huge beasts to be seen. There were two huge mountains in front of them that stood like gates. In the middle of the two mountains, there was a huge net that was silvery white and sparkling.

This was the gate of the ancient city. It was a huge gate that was rumored to be able to cover the sky, the blue sea, and the blue sky. Anything could be caught in the net.

There was a huge lake, and spiritual energy was boiling. This was the scene behind the gate.

The lake was silver-white, and the spiritual energy was dense. It was glistening and absorbing the essence of divinity.

This was the ancient city. The entire lake was formed from spiritual energy, and it contained endless essence. Cultivating here could increase one’s speed by a large margin.

On the shore, there were some broken walls and dilapidated buildings. They were all collapsed palaces, and one could vaguely see the glory of the ancient times.

Although the palaces were dilapidated, they did not lack vitality. They were full of vitality. There were more than ten heavenly palaces standing tall and majestic, emitting a hazy halo.

There were meteorites floating around the palaces. At this time, the sky was already dark. They began to glow as if they were surrounded by the stars in the sky. There were symbols of the Great Dao flashing.

The tall city gate was half-open at this time. There was a crack, and one could see a glimpse of the city. It was a messy street, and the ground was also piled with white bones, there were also many stones, wood, and other sundries.

“What is this place? Why is there such an ancient city underground?” Ye Chen looked at the small snake and asked.

At this moment, the small snake said in surprise, “Don’t tell me you don’t know?”

“Know what?” Ye Chen looked at the small snake in the tower with some confusion. Ye Chen knew that there was a hidden meaning in its words.

“This place is the remains of the human race!” The small snake’s voice sounded again.

The remains of the human race?

As soon as this was said.

Ye Chen and Xian Lin ‘er were both shocked.

At this moment, the snake began to speak, “Back then, all the mighty figures of the human race had left. Only a few humans remained in the Upper Realm. At this time, the Deity Race allied with many races in the Upper Realm to attack the human race.

“The human race was defeated and all the human experts were killed. Later on, the remaining humans were exiled from the Upper Realm.

“This place was also the territory of the human race back then. However, it was later occupied by the Spirit Clan, and this ancient city sank into the ground!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen was extremely shocked.

“What did you just say? Was all of this led by the Deity Race?” Ye Chen immediately asked.

He looked at the snake in surprise. He understood that this snake seemed to know a lot of things.

“That’s right. Other than the Deity Race, who else is qualified to lead the other races in the Upper Realm? You have to know that back then in this Upper Realm, other than the human race and the ancient races, the Deity Race was the strongest race.”

Those ancient races usually would not come into being. Therefore, when the mighty figures of the human race left, the human race would be leaderless. At this time, as long as the Deity Race destroyed the human race, the Deity Race would be able to secure their position as the number one race.

“It is precisely because of this that the Deity Race allied with other races to attack the human race.

“The Deity Race also achieved their wish and successfully became the number one race in the Upper Realm, replacing the position of the human race in the past.”

At this point, Ye Chen gradually clenched his fists.

At this moment, he understood everything.

It turned out that all of this was not because the human race was guilty, but because of benefits. The existence of the human race hindered the interests of the Deity Race.

Therefore, the Deity Race seized the opportunity when the human mighty figure left and completely eradicated the human race.

“How do you know so much? Who exactly are you?”

At this moment, the giant snake sneered, “I’m the heavenly snake. Although I’m only at the Escape One Realm, I’m a divine beast that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. I’ve seen a lot, so I naturally know a lot.”

Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said, “In other words, you’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years before you reached the Escape One Realm?”

The little snake immediately said angrily, “That’s not it…”

“If I hadn’t met the Deity Race’s Grandmaster back then and had all of my cultivation destroyed by him, I wouldn’t be at the Escape One Realm now.”.

“Back then, I fought with the Deity Race’s Grandmaster, but I was defeated. My cultivation was completely destroyed by him. I had to expend nine oxen and two tigers’ strength to escape. Later on, I started cultivating again, so I’ve only reached the Escape One Realm now.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “So, your enemy is the Deity Race?”

“That’s right. At first, I hated the Deity Race to death. That’s why I investigated the matters of the human race. But now, I understand. What’s the use of hating? I’ll never be a match for the ancestor of the Deity Race.”

Ye Chen nodded.

He looked at the snake and asked, “Do you want revenge?”

“Of course, of course I want to take revenge. I want to do it every day. However, I only have this bit of strength now. How can I take revenge?” The snake said.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “As long as you stay by my side and sign the master-servant agreement with me, I can give you a chance to take revenge.”

Although the snake was prepared to attack them, he did not succeed in the end.

If he could take in an expert of the Escape One Realm as his servant, Ye Chen would not lose out.

This snake could also become his henchman.

“You mean you want me to be your servant?” The snake immediately asked.

Ye Chen smiled. “That’s right.”

“Hmph, I’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have never deigned to be under anyone’s hand. If you want me to be your servant, no way!” The snake immediately said.

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up as he looked at the little snake and said, “Oh, is that so? But, do you have a choice?”

“Either you become my servant and I can let you leave this place, or you can live in this purgatory for the rest of your life. What choice do you have?”

“You…detestable…”

“Despicable foreigner!”

The little snake immediately flew into a rage.

“Alright, I promise you, release me!” The little snake immediately said.

At this moment, Ye Chen waved his hand and a scroll flew in front of the little snake.

“Sign the contract on it and I can release you.”

This heavenly snake was an expert of the Escape One Realm, so Ye Chen did not dare to release him easily.

Ye Chen had read the story of the farmer and the snake. The snake was a cold-blooded animal, so Ye Chen had to use the master-servant contract to restrain him.

Then, the snake did not hesitate and signed the master-servant contract.

Because it could feel that this man in front of it would definitely be a man standing at the top of the continent in the future.

It was not a loss to be his servant.

Moreover, he was not a match for this man. Therefore, he had no choice.

After signing the master-servant contract, Ye Chen released the heavenly snake. The snake transformed into a human and wore black clothes as it stood in front of Ye Chen.

Although he had transformed into a human, his face was very similar to a snake. His tongue was still like a tongue, and his eyes revealed a crafty light.
