Thinking back to the records of the heroes, Chen Heng sank into his thoughts.
He had originally thought that everything in this world was predestined. Whether it was the Hero or the Demon King, everything was already set in stone.
However, from these records, it seemed that this was not the case.
Some of the records clearly stated that after the heroes passed the trial, they obtained the power of the heroes and received the power of the entire world's faith energy, becoming the most powerful warrior in the world.
Following this, with the support of this massive power, the entire world's people gathered all of their power into the heroes' hands. Only then were they able to defeat the demon king and once again seal the demon king.
It sounded like a fairy tale to lull a child to sleep.
However, the people of this world recorded history in such a manner. They were not rigorous at all. They did not even mention a single word about the various things that were involved. They only mentioned the general process.
How did the heroes pass the trial? How did they gather the entire world's faith energy? These processes were not mentioned at all and were directly skipped over.
It was quite easy for the people who recorded history, but it was incredibly difficult for Chen Heng to find anything useful from these records.
The heroes needed to pass the trial to become the heroes. This was not just a single record, nor was it just a single example.
If it really was just a single example, Chen Heng would not pay much attention to it, and he would just ignore it as if it was not recorded in history.
There was more than one record, and there were many records that recorded this in great detail.
This made it seem somewhat real.
It was possible for a single ancient record to be fake, or it was possible for the creator to add his own personal goods. However, for so many ancient records to be fake at the same time, and for them to coincidentally be exactly the same, the probability of this was very, very small.
If this really happened, Chen Heng would just accept it.
From the records, Chen Heng found out some details.
First, the heroes were not innately born. Instead, they were chosen by several heroes to participate in the trial.
Only those who passed the trial would become the heroes.
Moreover, passing the trial did not mean that one could immediately defeat the demon king.
In the books, Chen Heng had seen some different records.
It seemed that in the past, there were a few times when the demon king was quite powerful and accidentally killed the heroes.
However, following this, the demon king did not go on a rampage and quickly returned to the earth, falling into a deep sleep.
The whole thing seemed very fishy.
You've already won, so why do you want to go back to sleep?
In the eyes of the people at that time, perhaps the Demon King had exhausted too much of his power while fighting the Hero. Thus, even though he had defeated the Hero, he had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep to recover his power.
Chen Heng was quite doubtful.
The Hero and the Demon King represented the positive and negative power of faith in this world.
When the hero who represented the power of positive faith was defeated, the entire world fell into despair, and the power of negative emotions filled the entire world.
In such an environment, the Demon King's strength would only increase. Why would he need to sleep to recover his strength?
It was a bit far-fetched to say that the Demon King was too heavily injured in battle and had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep.
At least, that was how Chen Heng saw it.
In his opinion, there should be other reasons for the Demon King to fall into a deep slumber.
Either it was related to the trial-takers, or the Demon King did not want to destroy this world.
From the previous information, it was known that this world was actually an experimental field created by a supreme being.
If the entire world was a laboratory, then what were the Demon Kings and Heroes in this world?
Since that supreme being had created this experimental field, he naturally had a series of methods to prevent the world from collapsing.
Perhaps it was because of this that the Demon King did not continue to wreak havoc and only killed the Hero.
Perhaps in this world, regardless of whether the demon king defeated the hero or the hero defeated the demon king, the trial would end, and the demonic beast calamity would also end. This would not affect the living beings in the outside world.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Demon King had to fall into a deep slumber after defeating the Hero.
After all, if the Demon King was still awake, the demonic beast disaster would not end. When that time came, all of the creatures in the world would die, so what was the point?
When the next trial-taker came in, would the trial still continue?
Of course, apart from the creator's laws, it could also be because of the Demon King himself.
Chen Heng did not know what the exact reason was and could only make wild guesses.
After standing in the room for a long time, he shook his head and walked out.
The sunlight outside was quite good, and the faint golden sunlight shined down on the ground. Not only did it bring warmth to the ground, but it also added a unique scenery to his courtyard.
It looked quite good.
Chen Heng strode out and walked through the courtyard.
As he walked, the people around him all made way and bowed to Chen Heng with respect in their eyes.
Chen Heng smiled and nodded before walking past them.
After walking out of the courtyard and being accompanied by a group of guards, he walked out into the town and looked at the scenery around him.
Actually, there was not much to see in the town right now.
Before the demonic beast disaster, this had been a decent town, and the scenery around it had been quite good.
However, after the demonic beast disaster, this region had become quite chaotic, and the disasters had destroyed many places, greatly reducing its score.
Moreover, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, after seeing it too much, one would eventually get tired of it.
In actuality, Chen Heng did not want to see the scenery; he just wanted to walk out of the town so that the residents could see him.
The blessing of the power of faith needed a specific target. If he just lay on the bed and gave orders, even if he could benefit the ordinary people in the end, very little of the power of faith would be bestowed on him.
If he wanted to obtain faith energy, he had to show his face and leave a good impression on the residents. He had to let them know who had brought them their current lives so that they could feel gratitude and worship them.
All of Chen Heng's previous actions had been from this perspective.
Even though Chen Heng was not very interested in pure faith energy and did not feel that it was very useful.
However, in this world, faith energy was incredibly important.
After all, this entire world might have been created by an unknown and mighty existence to experiment with faith energy.
The entire world's struggle was a struggle between positive and negative faith energy.
In such a world, the existence of faith power was of course very useful.
If not for that, even though Chen Heng would subconsciously obtain some to use as research materials, he would not have put in so much effort.
Chen Heng walked past the center of the town to the border.
The changes around him were reflected in his eyes.
As he dealt with the demon beasts, some places had become safe again.
Some of the refugees had been disrupted by Chen Heng and given new land to settle down.
The town, which had been quite chaotic, had now become much more peaceful.
The sanitation work around the town was quite good, and it was quite clean and tidy.
This was one of the results of the refugees' work.
Chen Heng took out food to help the refugees; he could not just feed them for free. Moreover, if he let them do nothing, it would be easy for them to cause trouble.
As such, apart from providing food, it was only natural for the refugees to do all sorts of chores.
The refugees were responsible for the sanitation of the town.
It seemed that they were doing quite well.
It was just that he did not know how the other places were doing.
After walking to another building, he heard a wave of laughter.
There were people loudly laughing, and the sound of wine cups clinking could be heard. It seemed that the atmosphere was quite good.
Chen Heng casually looked around and found that Ali and Allie were among them.
Within this tavern, the two of them just sat there with slight smiles on their faces, looking quite amiable and approachable. They did not participate in the drinking and gambling, making them seem quite out of place.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng thought to himself and carefully looked at it.
After not seeing Ali for a while, Ali's Fortune was still the same, and it was rapidly growing.
On the other hand, his faith energy had become much denser.
It seemed that while Chen Heng had been busy, Ali had not been idle either, and he had also made great gains.
However, that made sense.
Even though they had not interacted for a long time, from the moment Ali had come here, Chen Heng had been secretly observing him.
Ali's body had a unique charm that gave his words an indescribable power, causing others to involuntarily believe in him and trust him.
This charm was something that he was born with.
Sometimes, just by standing in a crowd, he would be able to attract people's attention.
With this unique talent and Ali's simple personality, no matter what he did, he would think about others and treat people sincerely.
It was very normal for others to trust him and entrust their faith power to him.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
The difference between people was indeed great.
He felt that he had done quite well, whether it was acting or doing things. Even though he was not perfect, he was at least at an excellent level.
However, even though he had put in so much effort, the faith energy he had obtained was only so-so.
At the very least, he had managed to achieve such an effect by simply standing there and staying in the surroundings for a period of time.
This was quite admirable.
"I wonder if there are any similar talents in the simulator that I can exchange for."
After thinking about it, Chen Heng started to think.
What he did not have innately, he could use cheats to make up for it.
There were a lot of talent choices in the opening options of the simulator.
In the past, Chen Heng had rarely used this, mainly because he was poor.
However, he could try it now.
Sometimes, a good talent could save him a lot of trouble.
With Ali's innate talent, whether it was used to gain the trust of others, obtain faith energy, or do other things, it was very easy.
For others, it might not be very useful, but for someone like Chen Heng who liked to use his acting skills, it was very useful.
It was just that he did not know how many Points it would cost.
Chen Heng thought to himself before continuing onwards.
He left the tavern and continued onwards.
Within the tavern, the instant that Chen Heng left, Ali seemed to sense something and looked up in the direction that Chen Heng had left in.
"What is it?"
Looking at Ali's appearance, James revealed a puzzled expression and softly asked.
"No, it's nothing."
Ali shook his head and said softly, "I suddenly have something to do and need to go out for a bit."
"Alright."
Jamu felt quite confused, but looking at his good friend, he did not say anything and only nodded as he said, "Go on.
Be careful. "
Ai Li nodded, then stood up and walked out.
Outside, Chen Heng walked past the tavern and came to the edge of the town.
Outside the town, there was a primeval scenery.
Due to its proximity to the forest, many caravans would come to this small town in the past, exchanging all sorts of resources from the forest.
Although the number of merchant caravans had decreased due to the recent outbreak of the devil disaster, the roads they had left behind had been preserved and had not been damaged.
After walking to the edge of the town, just as Chen Heng was about to leave, his body paused.
Not far away, there was a hazy silhouette. It seemed like someone was approaching and walking towards this place.
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he looked around and frowned.
An unusual aura came from afar. The moment it appeared, it caused goosebumps to rise all over his body. He felt it was strange.
However, after a while, that strange feeling disappeared.
In the distance, there was only a single figure.
It was a young man wearing a black robe. He was quite tall and looked quite unique.
He was tall and handsome, and in terms of looks, he was the most handsome person Chen Heng had ever seen. Even Ali could not compare to him.
At that moment, he walked over from the distance.
To ordinary people, the dangerous path was like a stroll to this person, and there was no danger at all.
After all, after the demon disaster, the path at the edge of the town was no longer safe, and there would often be some demon beasts, making it quite dangerous.
If one was not strong enough, it would be quite difficult to enter from the outside.
The last person who entered from outside the town was none other than Ali and his group of mercenaries.
What about this person?
Chen Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at that person seriously.
Only when that person came closer did Chen Heng notice that he was not alone and had a group of guards behind him.
However, these guards looked quite strange. They all wore black robes and did not look like good people. Their faces all had the words' I'm a bad person 'written all over them.
They did not look like good people at all.
Chen Heng did not say anything, but the guards by his side instinctively became wary and looked at this person warily.
Many mercenaries had come here during this period of time, and many of them looked quite ferocious-looking.
However, most of them looked quite normal.
This person did not look like good people at all. It was quite rare to see such a uniform.
They instinctively became wary and looked at the young man walking over. Some of them even drew their swords.
"You are?"
A guard asked warily, his face filled with wariness.
"Aiyaya … seems like I've been discovered."
Ahead, the young man walked in front of Chen Heng and smiled, "Looks like I've found the place I wanted to come to."
He looked at Chen Heng and asked, "Aren't you looking for mercenaries here?
My subordinates and I saw it and felt that it was quite good, so we came to take a look.
However, it seems that you don't welcome us. "
As he spoke, his gaze once again fell on Chen Heng, evidently knowing who the master of this group was.
"We welcome anyone who is willing to help us."
Meeting the young man's gaze, Chen Heng fell silent before smiling, "However, before receiving our guest, should I introduce myself?"
"Mister?"
"Of course, of course."
The young man nodded and smiled, "My name is … Jacdo. Mm, that's my name.
"The purpose of my visit this time is to travel around this small town and take a look at the scenery here."
Of course, if you have any use for us, I can consider helping. "
He thought for a moment before smiling as he spoke.
Chen Heng's mouth twitched.
This young man's attitude was quite perfunctory.
Moreover, the name Jacdo seemed to have been made up, right?
Chen Heng thought to himself, but he did not show it on his face. In fact, he even looked quite happy, "So it's like that.
"Our town welcomes anyone with strength to join us."
"Now, please follow me."
He looked at the young man and invited him.
"You look quite good."
The young man who called himself Jacdo smiled and gave Chen Heng a deep look.
With his vision, he could clearly see the abnormalities on Chen Heng's body and the massive pure-white faith energy around him.
Even though he was still far from the people he had seen in the past, he was already quite good.
He had already reached a passable level.
It seemed that the trial takers this time would be much more interesting than those in the past.
As he thought to himself, he also smiled as he chatted with Chen Heng.
Behind him, the black-robed people silently followed behind him. All of them looked quite unique, but none of them spoke.
Before coming here, in order to prevent this group of messy subordinates from spouting nonsense and revealing anything, the Demon King had sealed this group of people so that they could not speak for the time being.
Otherwise, while he was chatting with the others in front, these bastards behind him would expose his identity as a Demon King in the blink of an eye. Wouldn't that be awkward?
