Around the pagoda, there were people coming and going.
The girls were very curious about this. After all, it was their first time seeing the pagoda. However, Xiao Chen said that he hoped that the pagoda would be more deserted.
Gu Lingyao asked with a puzzled look.
"Why? The pagoda was built by the Divine Temple. Isn't it good to be more lively?"
"The more lively the pagoda is, the more people have died. Is that a good thing?"
The people who came to the pagoda were basically here to pay respects to their loved ones. People only came because people had died.
Therefore, the more popular the pagoda was, the more people had died in the Land of All Life.
Hearing this, Gu Lingyao and the other girls nodded. It seemed to make sense.
Gently patting Gu Lingyao's head, Xiao Chen led the group into the pagoda.
From the outside, the pagoda looked like an ordinary building. However, the inside was completely different.
Ordinary people could enter the pagoda, but there were many restrictions. They could only see the spirit tablets of their loved ones.
However, Xiao Chen and the others were obviously different. When they arrived at the entrance of the pagoda, there were people in charge of guarding it.
After showing his identity token, the two warriors from the Divine Temple who were in charge of guarding the pagoda were stunned. Then, they hurriedly wanted to kneel down and pay their respects.
The pagoda in every city was guarded by warriors from the Divine Temple. When they saw the token, they naturally recognized Xiao Chen's identity.
However, before they could do anything, Xiao Chen had already used his spiritual energy to lift their bodies. He smiled and spoke to them through Divine Thought.
"There's no need to expose our identities."
They didn't want to reveal their identities in front of so many people. In response, the two of them nodded their heads stiffly.
It was completely because they were low-level members and had almost no chance to come into contact with the Divine Ancestors. For a moment, they were a little too nervous when facing Xiao Chen and Lin Yun.
They smiled and didn't mind. They stepped into the pagoda.
With Xiao Chen and the others' authority, there was naturally no obstruction in the pagoda. The arrays wouldn't obstruct Xiao Chen and the others either.
The moment they entered the pagoda, they were surrounded by a pitch-black starry sky. Within the starry sky, there were countless spirit tablets.
Each spirit tablet represented a fallen warrior.
Moreover, if their relatives came to pay respects to them, the spirit tablet would disappear, and they would be brought to a special room for their relatives to pay respects to them.
After paying their respects to their loved ones, they returned to the starry sky to exchange for other tokens.
Countless tokens. Xiao Chen sighed when he saw that. These people had died in the battle against the Origin World.
Perhaps they had died on the battlefield, or perhaps they had been massacred.
But no matter what, this world had paid a heavy price in the battle against the Origin World.
Between the heavens and the earth, the number of all kinds of living beings had been reduced by almost half. The once magnificent scenes of the various universes had long become a thing of the past.
"Perhaps no one will be the victor in this battle. After all, we will be the ones losing our strength."
Xiao Chen sighed helplessly. Looking at these floating tokens, he no longer felt any joy from victory.
Because was this really a victory?
After paying such a heavy price, what was the meaning of victory?
Moreover, no matter what, the ones who had died were the living beings of this world. Whether it was Xiao Chen's side or the Origin World, it was the same.
The tokens before him were only the living beings in the Land of All Living Beings. Many living beings in the Origin World had also died.
Looking at the current world, only the Land of All Living Beings was left with living beings. Wasn't this a kind of sorrow?
"But it's all over now. I believe that time will slowly erase all of this. By then, everything will return to normal."
Hearing this, Lin Yun said indifferently. It was rare for her to not disagree with Xiao Chen.
In response, Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything. Perhaps.
While Xiao Chen and the others were visiting the pagoda for the first time, the news about the Chen Family in East Saint City had spread quickly in the Sacred Palace.
Many people knew that Xiao Chen, Lin Yun, and the others had gone to East Saint City and destroyed the Chen Family there.
Not many people in the Sacred Palace knew about the Chen Family, especially the upper echelons of the Sacred Palace. However, many of the lower-level members of the Sacred Palace knew about the Chen Family Ancestor.
After all, they saw each other frequently. Even if they were not related, they had at least exchanged a few words with each other.
"The Chen Family Ancestor. Sigh, he's courting death."
"I told him long ago that since he joined the Sacred Palace, he shouldn't interfere with his family. But he didn't listen."
"I've been to East Saint City. The Chen Family is indeed a little too arrogant. They have reached the point where they can cover the sky with one hand."
Many people were not surprised that the Chen Family had fallen to such a state. In their opinion, it was actually very normal.
Because the Chen Family Ancestor had openly violated the Sacred Palace's rules. Not only did he use his identity to help the Chen Family, but he even turned around and roped in the members of the other Sacred Palaces.
Many people felt that the Chen Family's destruction and the Chen Family Ancestor's death were well-deserved.
However, what made them more concerned was Ke Yan's death.
No one had expected Ke Yan to die just like that. His identity was completely different from that of the Chen Family Ancestor.
It was not because he had a high status in the Sacred Palace, but because he was an old man who had followed Ancestor Hei.
Looking at the entire Sacred Palace, it was actually not an iron bucket. It could even be said that the Sacred Palace's composition was very complicated.
This started from the various Sacred Ancestors who had established the Land of All Living Beings and established the Sacred Palace.
The various Sacred Ancestors actually had their own forces behind them. After all, they were all World Lords of a universe before.
This also resulted in the formation of several major factions after the establishment of the Sacred Palace.
This was also something that could not be helped.
For example, Xiao Chen definitely had a better impression of the ancient martial artists from the Great Wide World, while Lin Yun had a better impression of the ancient martial artists from the Yun Palace.
After all, these people were old men who had followed him everywhere. Compared to the other Sacred Ancestors' subordinates, they naturally had a unique advantage.
This was the case for Ke Yan. As an old man who had followed Ancestor Hei all the way, although he could not be considered Ancestor Hei's true confidant, he was definitely a core member of Ancestor Hei's faction.
Now that Ke Yan had been killed by Xiao Chen, what would Ancestor Hei think if he heard about this?
He would probably be furious. After all, killing Ke Yan might not be a big deal, but it would undoubtedly make Ancestor Hei lose face.
This was not something that could be explained by a simple rule. There were too many things involved, especially now that the situation was completely different.
