Chapter 1121: The Origins of the Central Earth Realm
Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: The Origins of the Central Earth Realm
At this moment, he no longer had the slightest bit of disdain he had earlier.
The young man before him possessed an almost monster-like keen insight and fearsome skill.
He quickly directed, "What are you all standing around for?"
"Hurry up and bring out the best wine and food our Black Cloud Village has!"
"Properly entertain our benefactors!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan quickly waved his hands, "No need to trouble yourselves."
"We just want to ask some questions and then we’ll leave."
The Black Cloud Village was living in destitution, most of the people were skin and bones, clearly indicating there wasn’t much good food to be had.
Where could they find any decent wine or food to present?
However.
As the table in front of him was filled with all sorts of rich Spiritual Energy-laden Spiritual Objects.
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
There were fruits he had never seen before, as well as vegetables, and some root herbs similar to medicinal ingredients.
There was even some Spiritual Meat from unknown creatures.
Most were rare resources with effects comparable to a Spirit Pill for the Core Formation Realm.
Some even had an enhancement effect on the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.
If those at the Beginning or Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul frequently consumed them, advancing a realm within a month was no problem.
Even Gu Xin’er’s eyes were shining brightly.
Her eyes turned into two golden copper coin shapes.
Bringing these things back to Central Earth would earn quite a fortune.
Dharma Seal Vajra also had a look of astonishment.
Obviously, he and Jiang Fan shared the same thought, thinking they were lacking in resources, yet the reality was quite the opposite.
Jiang Fan looked at Ming Ye with doubt in his heart:
"Mingye Village Chief, weren’t you troubled by providing this wine and food?"
Ming Ye, being cunning and astute, naturally understood their thoughts.
He raised his arm and gently shook it.
A wisp of pure Yin Qi surged out.
"For our Asura Clan to grow strong, we need the nourishment of Yin Qi."
"These Spiritual Energy-filled objects should be very useful for you Central Earth creatures."
"But for us, they are just barely enough to fill our stomachs."
Jiang Fan suddenly understood.
Just like Yin Qi Vegetables, which are a favorite of the Hell Realm.
But for Jiang Fan and other Human Clan, consuming them for long may harm the body due to the Yin Qi.
If not for filling their stomachs, the Black Cloud Village wouldn’t bother collecting these Spiritual Objects.
He rolled his eyes, and a thought emerged in his mind.
However, now wasn’t the time to speak out.
He nodded, "Thank you, village chief, for your hospitality."
"I have some things I would like to inquire with the village chief."
Ming Ye nodded, having been waiting for Jiang Fan to ask questions.
"Why does that Giant King not dare to step half a foot into Black Cloud Village?"
"Could it be that there is someone at the Divinity Transformation Realm in your village, or some dangerous item that deters them?"
Ming Ye showed a knowing expression.
He had already guessed that Jiang Fan’s first question would be this one.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to provide the prepared answer:
"Neither."
"It’s the rules."
He raised his finger and pointed to the nine suns connected in the sky.
"I heard that your Central Earth World was created by nine Ancient Saints."
"They must have established many rules for the world."
Jiang Fan nodded slightly.
This was true.
The major states were orderly, peaceful, with no wars ever occurring.
There must be invisible rules restraining them.
His heart stirred, "You mean..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ming Ye slightly nodded, "That’s right, the Southern Heavenly Realm also has its own creator."
"Although, it’s not the same kind of being as your Ancient Saints."
"But it also established rules for the Southern Heavenly Realm."
"One of them is that outside of specific periods, no one can step beyond any village’s boundary."
"If that Giant King dared to punch into the village, the laws of heaven and earth would descend and turn him to dust."
Jiang Fan felt a tremor in his heart.
But he did not doubt it.
He had once seen with his own eyes, Hua Xin nearly perished because of casually discussing the Hell Realm Master.
He had also felt the undetectable might of that ever-watchful Ancient Saint.
Such a creator, destroying a Venerate.
It’s just a snap of fingers!
He showed puzzlement in his eyes, "Why does the creator of the Southern Heavenly Realm protect you?"
"Protect?"
A hint of bitterness and desolation appeared on Ming Ye’s aged face.
"When you raise cattle and sheep, you chase away wolves and leopards."
"Is it ultimately to protect the cattle and sheep by doing so?"
"It’s to have more cattle and sheep to eat at the end of the year, right?"
Jiang Fan’s pupils shook.
His voice lowered, "You mean, you are protected so that you can multiply."
Ming Ye sighed to the sky:
"Trapped in the Southern Heavenly Realm, apart from those exempt from being hunted."
"The rest are all livestock raised by the Ancient Giants."
"Once every hundred years, the Ancient Giants are allowed a month of hunting."
"That month is the darkest moment for all villages."
Jiang Fan was incredibly shocked.
Creatures living in the Southern Heavenly Realm were truly living in hell.
In constant fear every day.
For a while, he didn’t know what to say.
But Ming Ye, with a light laugh, eased the heavy atmosphere:
"We’ve gotten used to it, this is the fate of us creatures living in the Southern Heavenly Realm."
Jiang Fan was once again surprised.
"By the way, why are creatures from the Hell Realm in the Heavenly Realm?"
"If I haven’t misunderstood."
"Isn’t the Central Earth Realm situated between the Hell Realm and the Heavenly Realm?"
"How did you come to the Heavenly Realm?"
Ming Ye stroked his beard in contemplation, after a while he spoke with furrowed brows:
"To explain this, it goes back a long way."
"I heard my grandfather mention it once."
"It’s said that a long time ago, there was no Central Earth World."
"Only the Hell Realm and the Heavenly Realm."
"The two worlds were in constant war, later, our Hell Realm emerged victorious and conquered the Heavenly Realm."
"But, for unknown reasons, both the Heavenly Realm and Hell Realm fell into turmoil."
"What the Hell Realm is like now is unknown."
"But during the great chaos, the Heavenly Realm split into four worlds: East, West, South, and North."
"And during the chaos of the two realms, the nine Human Clan Ancient Saints suddenly emerged, taking advantage of the chaos to seize parts of the heavens and earth from the two realms."
"They established the Central Earth Realm."
Upon saying this.
Ming Ye glanced at Jiang Fan with a peculiar expression.
The meaning was, a part of the Central Earth Realm was stolen from their Hell Realm.
Jiang Fan felt himself swept into a massive torrent, leaving him in a daze.
Was this really the origin of the Central Earth Realm?
It took him a long time to recover, trying to digest this earth-shattering news.
"So, you are the descendants of the Expeditionary Army who didn’t make it back to the Hell Realm?"
Ming Ye nodded slowly.
Jiang Fan finally unraveled the doubts that had been troubling him for a long time.
Immediately, he spoke about what he heard from Shan Feng, sounding grave:
"The Ancient Giants are transformed from your Hell creatures?"
If so.
That was truly terrifying.
Black Cloud Village alone had six Asuras above the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
They all had the potential to become Ancient Giants!
And villages like Black Cloud Village were not just one!
If a thousand Ancient Giants were to emerge.
Besides the Three God Sect,
All other sects would be instantly wiped out!
