Although the experts of the human race and the divine spirits bickered incessantly, they were not as hostile as before, where they would start fighting over a single disagreement.
Perhaps they were just using this method to ease their excitement over the prospect of heading to a new world.
Rumble!
The black hole slowly descended from the sky, silently hovering half a meter above the ground. It was like a hibernating beast, radiating with a chilling aura.
Lu, who had remained silent the entire time, furrowed his brows imperceptibly, feeling slightly uneasy.
As an expert of the Dao of Origin, he was extremely sensitive to changes in the origin of the world. In the instant that the black hole descended, the origin of the world seemed to show a hint of disorder.
Even though the disorder was quickly concealed by the powerful ripples of space, he could still keenly sense that something was amiss.
However, he could not pinpoint exactly what was amiss. This caused him to fall into a dilemma.
The Heavenly Imperial Court had a spatial passageway that led to a higher plane. Although the origins of this legend could not be verified, it was something that everyone in the Great Wilderness Continent knew.
Otherwise, the divine spirits would not have revolved around the Heavenly Imperial Court and used their great powers to refine a city in the sky like the Heavenly Court. Did they not wish to one day open a spatial passageway and head to an unknown higher plane? This was also one of the reasons why the experts of the human race had fought their way to the Heavenly Court.
The shackles of the world had already made it difficult for his Dao of Origin to progress any further. If he wanted to break through to a higher realm, he could only head to a higher plane.
According to Goddess Nuwa's classification of the Dao of Origin, the Great Dao could be divided into nine stages. Breaking through each stage required the absorption of a vast amount of Origin Energy.
However, the Origin Energy of a world was limited. The Origin Energy of the Great Wilderness Continent could only support one expert of the Dao of Origin to reach the apex.
This meant that the Origin Energy of the world had all gathered on a single person. Only that person could become a peerless expert of the Dao of Origin at the ninth stage.
However, he was not the only expert of the Dao of Origin on the Great Wilderness Continent. Not only were there human experts, there were also lesser gods like Jue.
This resulted in a situation where there were too many monks and not enough gruel. With so many people splitting the limited Origin Energy, there were now over a hundred experts of the Dao of Origin.
He and Jue were the ones who had obtained the most Origins, but they had only just reached the third stage of Origin Dao. Most of the others were at the first stage of Origin Dao, and only a few of them had barely reached the second stage.
Therefore, even though he felt uneasy, in order to break through to a higher realm, he could only forcefully suppress this uneasiness at the bottom of his heart. He comforted himself by thinking that it was probably because he was about to go to a higher realm that his heart felt uneasy.
However, he still quietly took out the sacred object left behind by Goddess Nuwa, the Heaven Mending Stone, pulled Li's hand, and quietly stuffed the Heaven Mending Stone into her hand.
Li looked at him in confusion. She didn't know why he would give her the sacred object that he treasured and never left his side.
Lu looked at his only daughter and smiled dotingly. He secretly transmitted his voice to her, "This is the sacred relic of our Human Race. From now on, I'll hand it over to you for safekeeping. Remember, no matter what happens, don't let it leave your side."
Li blankly looked at her father, thinking that her father wanted her to take care of the sacred object. She didn't think much of it, silently nodded, and tightly held the Heaven Mending Stone.
"Okay, the spatial passage has been opened. Let's go in now."
The Mei said calmly after receiving An Ze's guidance. She took a deep look at the Heavenly Court that she had lived in for countless years, and resolutely stepped into the black hole.
Seeing the Mei's figure disappear into the black hole without anything wrong happening, Lu felt slightly at ease. He felt that he was worrying too much, so he threw away his uneasiness and pulled Li into the black hole. When the others saw this, they also stepped into the black hole, unwilling to fall behind.
With one step, it was as if they had entered another world. After a violent spatial fluctuation, everyone felt dizzy and appeared in a dark and gloomy space.
"Hiss!"
Everyone's heart trembled and they all sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with shock.
They saw that the surroundings of this space were covered by a dense black gas. Visibility was limited to a radius of ten meters around them. Within this radius, aside from their group of people, there was only an altar that was exactly the same as the one in the Heavenly Court. Even the statues that were worshipped were exactly the same.
However, the altar in the Heavenly Court was made of bluestone, while the altar here was made of a blood-red stone. It looked extremely strange.
Especially that statue. Although it was exactly the same as the statue on the altar in the Heavenly Court, it was covered in dense blood-red threads that were like blood vessels, causing people to feel fear just by looking at it.
The most frightening thing was that the statue in the Heavenly Court was like a dead object. Its eyes were empty and lifeless. However, the statue here had blood-red eyes that flickered with a demonic scarlet luster. It was as if it was a man-eating monster that was staring at them.
Although the human experts and gods had seen countless strange things, suddenly arriving in such a gloomy and frightening place still caused them to feel a chill all over their bodies. They subconsciously moved closer to each other.
"Gulp, it … it seems to be alive? I … I just saw it blink. "
Li was after all a woman and was naturally afraid of these demons and monsters. Being stared at by the statue made her hair stand on end. After looking at it timidly, she swallowed with difficulty and said with a trembling face.
"What the hell is this place? Didn't they say that it leads to a higher plane? How did we get here? "
The man with the axe on his back boldly stared at the statue. Apart from the frightening eyes and blood-red threads that looked like blood vessels, there was nothing unusual about the statue. He thought that Li was just seeing things out of fear, so he shouted.
Jue frowned and stared at the statue. He whispered, "No, this is not right. This is not a higher plane, nor is it the Great Wilderness Continent."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned to look at the Mei. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning of the question was self-evident.
The Mei was a little flustered. She shook her head and said, "How would I know? It was the spiritual fetus that led me here."
"What about you? Aren't you also pregnant with the spiritual fetus? "
Jue didn't continue to ask her. Instead, he looked at Li and asked.
Li's face was full of confusion. He answered softly, "I am not pregnant with the spiritual fetus. It chose me."
"I felt that something was wrong. The spiritual fetus is born from the essence of the world. It is rare for one to appear in billions of years. How could two appear at once? I think it is because you saw that the spiritual fetus chose the Mei. You felt unbalanced, so you lied and said that you received the guidance of the spiritual fetus. That angered the spiritual fetus and caused us to be trapped here."
The Calabash Brother jumped out angrily and accused Li.
"Yes, I think so. You must have lied and angered the spiritual fetus. To punish us, it brought us here."
A trace of red light flashed across the eyes of a handsome God. He stepped forward and glared at Li with a face full of indignation.
"Hmph, I knew that the Human Tribe was unwilling to see us get this opportunity. That's why they lied and caused us to be punished. You deserve to die."
Another god with the appearance of a middle-aged man stared at Li with unconcealable killing intent in his eyes.
"Despicable Human Tribe, it is all because of you that we are in this situation. You deserve to die."
The Beast Sword God suddenly went berserk. He cursed and attacked without warning. The sword in his mouth suddenly left his mouth and slashed at Li's neck with lightning speed.
"You are looking for death!"
The cyan-robed sword cultivator and the black-faced man shouted at the same time. Sword light and knife light appeared. One blocked the sword of the Beast Sword God, and the other attacked the Beast Sword God.
The Calabash Brother would not stand idly by. He stepped forward and released a green light, which attacked the black-faced man like lightning.
The man with the axe on his back shouted and took a big step forward. His giant axe slashed at the Calabash Brother. However, it was blocked by the handsome god with a strange laugh.
The battle broke out without warning. Jue and Lu didn't have time to react. They shouted at the same time, "Stop!"
However, their ever-victorious prestige lost its effect at this moment. Whether it was the human experts or the gods, they all seemed to have lost their minds and didn't listen to their advice. They crazily killed each other as if they had met their irreconcilable enemy.
For a moment, the sound of fighting in the small space shook the sky. No matter how loudly Jue and Lu shouted, they didn't seem to hear it. They fought fiercely with red eyes.
Among everyone present, only Mei, Li, Lu, and Jue could still maintain their sober minds. The others seemed to have lost their minds and couldn't wait to cut each other into pieces.
Lu and Jue realized that something was wrong. They guarded Li and Mei behind them with dignified faces. While blocking the aftermath of the battle, they quickly communicated.
"There is something wrong with that statue. It made them lose their minds and turned them into madmen who only know how to kill."
Lu said very quickly. His eyes were full of anxiety.
"I can see it too. Their eyes are the same as the statue. They are all blood red."
Jue quickly replied. His tone was unprecedentedly heavy. "The spiritual dao embryo, the space passage to a higher plane, it is very likely to be a lie. It is a scam to catch all of us in one fell swoop."
"Who is it? Why would they do this? "
Lu's body trembled. He asked in disbelief.
Jue slowly shook his head. His face was full of bitterness. "I don't know. But to be able to do such a thing, it is definitely not someone we can fight against. I think, it should be someone from a higher plane."
"Then what is this person's goal? What benefit does killing us bring to him? "
Slaughter felt a little incredulous. There was a saying that one wouldn't get up early if there were no benefits. This person had been planning this for many years, spreading rumors about the spiritual Dao embryo and the spatial channel. Over time, they all believed it to be true, which was why they fell into this trap. But there had to be a reason for doing this, right?
"Origin!"
Jue said concisely. But Lu understood. His face couldn't help but change.
If it was for the origin of this world, then everything made sense. Because they were all experts of the Dao of Origin, the origin in their bodies occupied almost ninety percent of the Great Wasteland Continent.
According to common sense, once they died, the origin would return to heaven and earth and return to nature. But in this special space, the origin couldn't return at all. It could only be obtained by the mastermind.
"You lied to me? The goal of your An family is to obtain the origin of the world in their bodies, isn't it? And not to open the reincarnation passage like you said? "
In Mei's stomach, Ding Ning suddenly realized that he had been tricked. He stood up angrily and stared at An Ze, who had a complacent expression, and shouted fiercely.
"Only now do you know? Isn't your reaction too slow? "
An Ze laughed loudly. His previous polite and reserved attitude had long disappeared. He looked at Ding Ning as if he was looking at a fool, full of ridicule.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Ding Ning narrowed his eyes. An Ze's unbridled manner made him feel alarmed. It seemed that at this moment, An Ze had enough confidence and was no longer afraid of him. This made him feel very uneasy.
