Zhou Wen imagined that Carlos wanted to take the opportunity to compete with him, but to his surprise, Carlos only shook his hand.
"Mr. Zhou, may I know why you came to Sunset City?" Carlos asked.
"Someone wants to fight. I heard that Sunset City is a good place, so I came to take a look," Zhou Wen said.
"Although our Cape family had some misunderstandings with you in the past, that's all in the past. If you have any dissatisfaction with our Cape family, why don't you say it directly? On behalf of the Cape family, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," Carlos said calmly.
"I'm not the one who wants to fight, but this person. You should discuss it with him." Zhou Wen pointed at Nine Yang behind him.
"This gentleman is …" Carlos sized up Nine Yang, but he was wrapped up so tightly that he couldn't tell who he was.
Nine Yang glanced at Zhou Wen. He naturally knew that Zhou Wen wanted him to be the scapegoat, but Nine Yang had no intention of defending himself.
"Nine Yang, let me borrow your Sunset City," Nine Yang said indifferently.
Carlos was taken aback when he heard Nine Yang's name. There was probably no one in the Federation who didn't know Nine Yang's name.
Carlos looked at Zhou Wen in disbelief. Zhou Wen said, "I guarantee it's real."
"It is Sunset City's honor that the two of you want to fight in Sunset City. However, I hope that the two of you can give me some time to clean up the city so that the two of you can fight in peace," Carloze said in a pleasant tone. He wasn't angry at all.
"Sure," Nine Yang said.
Both Nine Yang and Zhou Wen knew that Carlos likely wanted to move the people in the city out to prevent them from being accidentally injured in the battle between the two of them.
Nine Yang was at the Calamity-grade. For Zhou Wen to be his opponent, he definitely wasn't too weak. A battle at that level could easily destroy a city.
"In that case, I'll show the two of you around Sunset City." Carlos called someone over to give a few instructions before leading Zhou Wen and Nine Yang into the Forbidden Land of Gods.
Just as the legends said, it was pitch-black inside the Forbidden Land of Gods. Nothing could be seen. In the darkness, there was a road paved with street lamps that extended into the darkness like a glowing snake. At the end of the road was a brightly lit city.
The Luminous City in the darkness was exceptionally mysterious and beautiful.
When Zhou Wen walked into the darkness, he felt a nomological force binding his body. The Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder immediately reacted.
This was only a normal reaction. Back at Mount Laojun, the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder would also have a reaction.
"Was Sunset City built later?" Zhou Wen was here in search of an opportunity to advance to Calamity Grade. He had no interest in cities built by humans.
"Yes, there are no buildings in the Forbidden Land of Gods. It's just a dark desolate area. There aren't even any dimensional creatures. Every blade of grass, tree, lamp, and brick here was transported in by our Cape family. It was built according to the design," Carlos said.
Upon hearing Carlos's words, Zhou Wen lost even more interest in Sunset City. Hence, he asked, "Is there really nothing in the huge Forbidden Land of the Gods?"
"That's not it." Carlos thought for a moment and said, "There's indeed a city in this darkness, but all that's left of the city are dilapidated walls. It should have been destroyed in the war. We've also studied the city before, but we didn't find any traces of living creatures, nor did we find any remnants of daily necessities. It's as though it was originally an empty city."
"Interesting. Take us there to take a look." Zhou Wen's interest was piqued.
"This way, please." Carlos had a good temper. He led the way with a flashlight in hand. They circled around Sunset City and headed deep into the darkness.
Along the way, Zhou Wen observed the Forbidden Land of the Gods. The ground here was barren like a wasteland. There were traces of battle everywhere.
There were all kinds of ring-shaped craters, similar to the ones on the moon. However, it could be seen that the ring-shaped craters weren't formed by meteorites, but by some kind of force.
There were also some crisscrossing rifts that looked like huge saber marks.
Apart from the darkness, the other laws here were somewhat chaotic. For example, when sound passed through the empty space, it would distort. Clearly, there was some kind of distortion or fault in the space there.
Darkness wasn't a problem for Zhou Wen, but the distortion of space and sound affected Truth Listener's ability.
As Carlos walked, he explained, "Legend has it that the gods once fought here and destroyed everything here, including Order and Light. They prevented everything from growing and eventually turned it into a forbidden land for life."
"Since this is a forbidden land where nothing lives, why is it said that one can live forever here?" Zhou Wen asked.
"It's just a misrepresentation. It's true that one can not age here, but that's only in appearance. In fact, one's body will still age. No matter how young one looks, they will still die when they're young," Carlos said.
"I see. However, even if it's just immortality, it's already a very powerful ability. There should be many beautiful women who are willing to live in Sunset City their entire lives, right?" Zhou Wen wasn't surprised. If Sunset City could really allow people to live forever, the Cape family probably wouldn't have been able to occupy this place so peacefully.
"There are indeed many beautiful ladies who come to Sunset City and stay here for a long time. If you're interested, Mr. Zhou, you can take a walk in Sunset City. It can be considered a beautiful scenery that's rare elsewhere," Carlos said with a smile.
Zhou Wen didn't comment. Nine Suns didn't say much. Clearly, he wasn't interested in this.
Carlos continued talking about the Forbidden Land of the Gods. It was as though he had said everything he knew, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him. Even as an enemy, they couldn't afford to fall out with him.
Soon, Zhou Wen saw the ruins of an ancient city in front of him. However, there were only some broken walls and stone pillars left in the ancient city. After countless years, the man-made things had been weathered to the point that they were about to return to their original state.
On the broken walls and stone pillars, there were no human carvings or patterns. They were all in their most primitive state.
Zhou Wen kept using Truth Listener and his eyes to observe and sense, but unfortunately, he didn't discover anything special in the ruins.
He didn't find the tiny palm symbol, nor did he find anything that could advance him to the Calamity grade.
"Let's do it here," Nine Suns said to Zhou Wen impatiently.
"Alright. Since this is the place where the gods once fought, it's a good place for a duel," Zhou Wen said with a nod.
"Do you want to entrust the child in your hand to them?" Carlos said as he glanced at the Demonic Neonate in Zhou Wen's arms.
"Mr. Zhou, if there's a need, you can rest assured and leave her to us to take care of. Our Cape family won't do anything to a child," Carlos said.
"There's no need. It's just for fun. I'll carry her myself." Zhou Wen didn't really plan on fighting Nine Suns to the death.
