"I know who these people are!" Grim Demon suddenly shouted.
Zhou Wen looked at Grim Demon. As Grim Demon had been in his Terror form the entire time, the others couldn't see him.
Therefore, the elder and the group of people only saw Zhou Wen turn his head to the side as though he was staring at the void. This made them even more panicked as they found Zhou Wen incomprehensible and unpredictable. He was definitely the Great Demon King of the Lost Paradise.
"They call this place Paradise Lost, not the Land of the Fallen, nor is it hell. If this place is really related to the myth of Paradise Lost, then it's not difficult to guess the origins of these people. Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit and were chased out of the Garden of Eden. If this story doesn't happen on Earth but in a dimension, then all of this can be explained, "Grim Demon said.
Zhou Wen immediately understood what Grim Demon was getting at. Grim Demon was trying to say that these people were actually the descendants of Adam and Eve.
However, on second thought, Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss. In the myths and legends of God, Adam and Eve should be the ancestors of humanity. According to Grim Demon's guess, it didn't match.
If Adam and Eve had reproduced here after being chased out of the Garden of Eden, they had never been to Earth. How could there be such legends on Earth?
As though seeing through Zhou Wen's thoughts, Grim Demon said, "Adam and Eve betrayed God and ate the forbidden fruit. After being chased out, where could they go? Apart from a place like the Garden of Eden, the dimension isn't suitable for humans to survive. The only place they can leave is probably the Lost Paradise. You can tell from their bodies that there are no Mythical humans among them. They are all Legendary or Epic as you humans call them. For such a standard to build a city in a dimension, it's only possible if they are next to the Lost Paradise and receive its protection. "
Zhou Wen knew that Grim Demon was right. He could already vaguely sense the nomological powers of the dimension in this tiny mountain city, but compared to the true dimensional laws Zhou Wen had sensed, it was much weaker.
Clearly, this place was affected by the Lost Paradise, which was why these humans were able to survive here.
However, this was only Grim Demon's guess. Perhaps these humans were brought over from Earth by dimensional experts as experimental subjects.
It was even possible that some humans on Earth had some fortuitous encounter and came here by accident.
"Are you the king of this city?" Zhou Wen stared at the elder and asked.
The elder waited for a while, but Zhou Wen didn't say a word. He felt uneasy as he guessed what the Demon King was up to. When he suddenly heard Zhou Wen's question, he jumped in fright. He prostrated on the ground and said in fear and trepidation, "Your Majesty, you are the only king. I'm only the City Lord of this city and also your slave. If you need a life sacrifice, please take my life away and leave that child's life."
"Since you know that I'm the only king here, then tell me, who gave you the courage to negotiate with me?" Zhou Wen thought to himself, Instead of wasting my breath explaining, I might as well use my identity as the Infernal King to figure things out.
Everyone was immediately alarmed and afraid. The elder kowtowed repeatedly. "Your Majesty, we definitely have no intention of offending you, nor do we dare negotiate with you. We just hope to obtain your pity. Our ancestors were able to survive here because of your mercy. Our lives belong to you, and everything here belongs to you. We don't have the qualifications to negotiate with you. We only hope that you will be merciful, Your Excellency Demon King … "
As Zhou Wen listened to the elder's nagging, he increasingly felt that Grim Demon's guess might be right. These people might really be the descendants of Adam and Eve.
"Take me to see this city," Zhou Wen said indifferently to the elder's pleas.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll lead the way. What do you want to see?" the elder hurriedly said.
"What do you think?" Zhou Wen glanced at him indifferently.
The elder immediately broke out into a cold sweat as his mind raced. Soon, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I understand. Please follow me."
The elder crouched down and led the way. The others hurriedly retreated to the sides of the road, not daring to stand in front of Zhou Wen.
The style of this city resembled the ancient style of the West District. Zhou Wen remembered that it was called Gothic architecture.
Furthermore, it was obvious that this place was very backward. There were no electronic devices, not even electric lights. Clearly, the technology here was almost zero.
When he walked to the middle of the city, Zhou Wen was surprised to discover that there was a Rubik's Cube here. Just like the Rubik's Cube on Earth, the Rubik's Cube here also displayed the image of the Dubhe Star.
There's actually a Rubik's Cube here. That's easy. I just need to pass through the Rubik's Cube and reach the Dubhe Star before teleporting back to Earth. Zhou Wen was delighted at first, but he immediately rejected this method.
It was true that he could reach the Dubhe Star through the Rubik's Cube, but to do so, he had to clear the Dubhe Star dimensional zone. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Back in the Venus dimensional zone, someone had already verified that as long as one entered a dimensional zone through the Rubik's Cube, they could only fight to the death. Unless they cleared it, there was no possibility of leaving.
The elder didn't know what Zhou Wen was thinking. He hunched his body and led the way, not daring to look back at Zhou Wen.
Since Zhou Wen didn't say a word, he didn't dare speak casually.
Although this small city was ancient, it was filled with an artistic aura. There were many carvings on the buildings, and there were statues everywhere. There were humans and statues of strange creatures.
After walking for a while, the elder brought Zhou Wen to a garden. There were many flowers and plants planted in the garden, making it look very beautiful.
Towards the back of the garden stood two tombstones. Zhou Wen didn't recognize the words on them. When Grim Demon saw them, he immediately shouted, "Indeed, these fellows are the descendants of Adam and Eve. That's Adam and Eve's tombstone."
"Your Majesty, my ancestors are your friends. Unfortunately, they don't have the great power of eternal life like you. They can only be buried here." As the elder spoke, he felt abnormally uneasy, unsure if his guess was right.
If he guessed wrongly and angered the Demon King, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
"All of you, get out," Zhou Wen said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The elder glanced at the Demonic Neonate in Zhou Wen's arms, but he didn't dare say anything disobedient. He led his men out and closed the door to the garden.
"I knew it. Those fellows are the descendants of Adam and Eve," Grim Demon said smugly to Zhou Wen.
