The Outside? The Modern Realm?
Yang Jian's reminder filled Ye Zichen with undisguisable curiosity about the Outside, a place that struck terror in the hearts of everyone.
Just what kind of world was the Outside?
It actually made him feel like his worldview was collapsing. Moreover, from Yang Jian's gaze, he could really feel the seriousness in that gaze.
There was also a faint hint of worry.
Ye Zichen didn't ask what Yang Jian was trying to say. He knew that it was just as Yang Jian said: once he reached the Outside, the truth would naturally come to light.
Yang Jian used his divine power to carry Ye Zichen to a black hole much larger than the others. It seemed that if they passed through it, they'd reach the so-called Outside.
Even then, Yang Jian patted Ye Zichen's shoulder heavily.
"You have to be mentally prepared."
With that, they passed through.
Ye Zichen was curious as to why Yang Jian's expression was so serious. However, even as they passed through the black hole, Ye Zichen, who hadn't even opened his eyes, heard a familiar car horn.
When he opened his eyes …..
"....."
He was shocked.
His eyes widened, and his arms trembled violently.
In front of him was a series of skyscrapers. There was also a familiar LED screen in the commercial building, which was playing the trailer of a certain movie.
Countless people shuttled through the streets. Perhaps it was because Yang Jian's clothes were too strange.
Quite a few people glanced at them in astonishment.
This was the Outside?
He was clearly in the city of ice he'd lived in for twenty years, and beneath his feet was the city's most bustling pedestrian street.
Even the street signs were identical!
There was no way he was wrong. This was the Modern Realm!
He was back?
Ye Zichen couldn't hide his astonishment. As he looked around at his familiar surroundings, he felt as if he'd suddenly returned home after living in a foreign land for a long time.
He was clearly a sky supreme, but his eyes were so red that he wanted to cry.
His lips quivered, but he didn't say a word. He just closed his eyes and listened to the horn that had annoyed him for decades.
"Hey."
Someone patted him on the shoulder. When Ye Zichen opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl in a midriff-baring top and miniscule shorts. She smiled and looked at him curiously.
Jing Wan.
Wasn't this the streamer who'd invited him to join her team?
"Are you cosplaying?"
Ye Zichen was stunned yet again by this new and familiar phrase. Then he remembered that he was still wearing the same clothes he'd worn on the Divine Mountains. In the Modern Realm, he'd be considered an ancient costume.
Although Yang Jian's Hawaiian plaid shirt and pants were a little exaggerated, it was not as eye-catching as him.
Fortunately, the modern world was an all-inclusive era, and his strange clothing could also be treated as cosplay. However, from the looks of it, she didn't seem to recognize him.
"Why are your eyes so red? Did someone give you the cold shoulder after cosplaying? Be strong, I quite like your outfit, and it's also very suitable for you. "Jing Wan said with a smile.
"Thanks," Ye Zichen nodded.
"Can I have your contact information?" Jing Wan took out a phone covered in cartoon stickers from her bag and shook it a few times. Ye Zichen subconsciously frowned, causing the girl to laugh when she saw that, "It's fine if it's inconvenient, but I'm actually not such a casual girl. I just don't know why … I have an indescribable feeling towards you. Here's my contact information. If it's possible, I hope you can add me. You're really cool. "
Jing Wan shoved a slip of paper into Ye Zichen's pocket, then waved and left.
Ye Zichen took out the slip of paper. To his surprise, it was Jing Wan's social media number and phone number.
Ye Zichen fished out her phone. He'd had her number back then, so he compared it …..
There was no mistaking it!
This was the Modern Realm!
Ye Zichen put the slip of paper back into his pocket, then looked at Yang Jian with a complicated gaze. Although he didn't say anything, his expression alone made it clear what he wanted to say.
What the hell was going on?
Why was the Outside the Modern Realm the Modern Realm he lived in?
Why was that?
Hadn't the Modern Realm been frozen during the demon invasion? Why hadn't it been frozen? Had it been unfrozen along the way? If so, what was he? What were those who'd been sucked into the Modern Realm like him?
"It's not what you think!" Yang Jian sighed.
"What do you mean it's not? Isn't this the Modern Realm? This is where I live ….."
At that moment, Ye Zichen's divine sense suddenly detected Jing Wan, the woman who'd given him the slip of paper. She was in the middle of a car accident. It didn't matter whether or not she still remembered him. Even if they'd only met by chance, there was no way Ye Zichen would allow such a tragedy to happen.
However, before he could do anything …..
He saw Jing Wan perform a beautiful backflip. She'd leaped several meters into the air, then landed steadily. After landing, Jing Wan picked up her bag and left as if nothing had happened. The driver didn't stop at all. He continued driving his car.
"What's this?"
Could it be that she was actually a martial artist?
No!
If she were an ordinary martial artist, her body might be a bit stronger than the average person's, but leaping several meters into the air was simply too shocking.
Before he could digest all of this, Ye Zichen saw several people fly through the air.
Flying!
Ye Zichen rubbed his eyes hard, then looked again.
There really were a few men and women flying through the air above him, and quite a few of them. After spreading out his divine sense, Ye Zichen discovered that within a hundred miles, there were at least several thousand people who could fly through the air.
He was dumbfounded.
He turned to look at Yang Jian, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
When Yang Jian saw his gaze, he sighed.
"I told you before we came so you could prepare yourself."
"That's what you wanted me to prepare myself for? Why did the world I used to live in become like this? Why could those people fly? Could it be that they were all cultivators? What exactly happened to this world while I was gone? Tell me, what's going on? "Ye Zichen was rather agitated.
"You might not believe me, but this isn't the world you used to live in," said Yang Jian.
"That's impossible!" Said Ye Zichen with decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron. "I know that girl who gave me that note. She's Pu Jingwan, a famous streamer. She even invited me to join her battle team. I have her contact information. The contact information she gave me just now was the one she gave me before … "
"Then can you explain why there are so many cultivators here?"
Ye Zichen was rendered speechless.
Yang Jian patted him on the shoulder. How could he not know what Ye Zichen was thinking? When he'd first arrived, he'd thought the same thing.
