Chapter 518 - 517, Meeting Er Xin Again_1
Chapter 518: Chapter 517, Meeting Er Xin Again_1
When Jiang Chen passed through the light curtain, hordes of enemies appeared in his field of vision, and he understood why Weiley had not followed him in.
In this place, if she had entered, only one outcome awaited her: death.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate to act.
Using Wan Jian Gui Clan, he killed Different Dimension Demons. While killing these demons, he also gained experience points, upgrading his own strength.
The Power of Laws, however, was the power Jiang Chen coveted most.
Once he controlled such power... then... slaying Gods would be a simple task.
Of course, it would be even better if he could encounter Bai Yun; after all, Bai Yun controlled such power.
In the Different Dimension Space, Jiang Chen forcefully carved out a bloody path.
He quickly flew toward the coordinates Weiley had mentioned.
He flew for three days. Yes, for three days, using the Sky Flash Skill hundreds of thousands of times, he finally arrived at the coordinates Weiley had spoken of and saw that light curtain...
And Jiang Chen had actually risen by 5 levels on the way.
It was evident how many Abnormal Beasts Jiang Chen had slain, and he stored their Crystal Stones in his Spatial Warehouse.
In the Land of Sin, these Crystal Stones were currency.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate to dive in...
What presented itself before Jiang Chen was an ancient city.
The entire ancient city bustled with many people, including Corrupted Heroes, the Giant Tribe, and The Fallen...
Indeed, this was the Land of Sin! All sorts of people were here!
In the Land of Sin, there were eighteen Divines.
Three of them were True Gods.
Each True God had established a stronghold: Dimitre Ancient City, Augustus City, Buxton City...
The place where Jiang Chen found himself was Augustus City.
It was also the place with the most of The Fallen.
Seeing the various old inns, Jiang Chen almost thought he had returned to the Wanderer World.
Jiang Chen leaped down.
As soon as he landed, a group of people approached him. They too wielded the power of the Practice Badge, but theirs was not from the Defiled God Continent or the Continent of All-Gods.
It belonged to Augustus City—to the direct forces of a Divine.
Captain Oak said coldly, "Every hero who enters here, whether from the Defiled God Continent or the Continent of All-Gods, must hand over one Abnormal Beast Crystal Stone."
"One Abnormal Beast Crystal Stone allows for a one-day stay."
"Here in Augustus City, under the control of the great Divine Augustus, all fighting is forbidden. If there is any enmity, it can be dealt with in the arena, where killing is permitted."
"Anyone discovered fighting within the city will be suppressed by the Divine. Heroes of the Continent of All-Gods, please hand over your accommodation fee."
Jiang Chen had learned the rules here from Dianne Bellamy before his arrival: fighting was permitted outside the cities in the Land of Sin, but not within them.
Jiang Chen casually took out a Crystal Stone and smiled, "How can you be sure I am a hero from the Continent of All-Gods?"
"The heroes from the Defiled God Continent are all freakin’ monsters. You’re so handsome; if you’re not a hero from the Continent of All-Gods, where are you from?"
"What if I were one of The Fallen?"
"You don’t have the aura of The Fallen in you."
Jiang Chen handed over five Abnormal Beast Crystal Stones and asked quietly, "May I inquire about something?"
Oak laughed, taking them as a matter of course.
"Go ahead."
"Do you have any news of Bai Yun?"
Oak chuckled. "Sword God Bai Yun sometimes comes by, but he’s not here now. Bai Yun and the great Divine Augustus are brothers. Who might you be?"
"I am Bai Yun’s disciple."
Looking at Jiang Chen as if he were an idiot, Oak said, "Bai Yun doesn’t have any hero disciples!"
"Bai Yun was once a Swordsman from the Continent of All-Gods, and I too am a Swordsman."
Captain Oak nodded. "You’re right about that. I truly don’t know where Bai Yun is. However, if you want to inquire, you should go to The Fallen Inn. You should be able to find out there, as there are many of The Fallen here."
"Thank you..."
"Moreover, you can stay as long as you want. You just need to put Abnormal Beast Crystal Stones into the card I gave you. If you fall behind on your lodging payments, that card will sound an alarm."
"At that time, you will face the risk of being caught. Also, don’t lose that card, because if you do, it will also make a sound."
"Here, a card is the symbol of one’s identity. It’s synonymous with being a guest."
Jiang Chen nodded; he had also learned this from Dianne Bellamy.
The card was a space. Inside, there was only one slot, exclusively for storing Abnormal Beast Crystal Stones.
Jiang Chen looked at the card.
Time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds...
The time was slowly decreasing.
Once time ran out, another Abnormal Beast Crystal Stone would need to be deposited. The Crystal Stone was energy...
It was similar to a hotel. The only difference was that they wouldn’t investigate one’s identity.
Jiang Chen descended and walked casually along the street...
Most of the establishments on the main street were inns run by The Fallen. It just so happened that he ran into Er Xin and Trena on the opposite side of the street, and they noticed Jiang Chen too.
Trena exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Chen, you actually made it to the Upper Realm, even to Augustus City in the Land of Sin?"
Jiang Chen smiled. "What, you two can come, but I can’t?"
Er Xin’s face was expressionless. "Haven’t eaten? Let’s have a meal together."
"Good, I’m actually hungry too."
The three of them went into an inn and found a table.
Er Xin said, "This is Qianren Association’s territory."
Jiang Chen glanced around and realized that both the proprietor and the waiter were women, and both were Seventh-stage Experts.
When did Seventh-stage Experts become so common? He had thought experts were few and far between, but it turned out they were all top-notch masters. If this were in the Lower Realm, they would be major figures! Jiang Chen himself had been chased by Seventh-stage Experts in the past! But that was all in the past now. Currently, aside from the Divines, he feared no one, not even Er Xin, not after equipping Level 400 Grand-level Equipment. Aside from the Divines, he looked down on everyone else.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "There sure are a lot of experts here; even the waiters are Seventh-stage Experts!"
Trena looked puzzled. "Don’t tell me you don’t know why?"
"Why?"
"Time flows differently between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm."
"What’s different about it?"
"People in the Upper Realm don’t age; time passes very slowly here. You see all those young girls? They might already be hundreds of years old!"
"This is why everyone wants to come to the Upper Realm—whether they’re The Fallen, Corrupted Heroes, or even heroes like you, the embodiments of righteousness."
"This is paradise. Of course, for some people, it is hell."
Jiang Chen suddenly understood. He then noticed that all the people on the street were young; there wasn’t an old person in sight. Even if there were elderly people, they were very few.
The passage of time isn’t the same.
Jiang Chen asked, "Why is that?"
"I’m not sure about that."
Er Xin said, "I once asked my master. He said that this place used to be the same, but at some point, it changed to what it is now, apparently when the Time Lord died."
"A Time Lord again?" Jiang Chen asked. "A Divine?"
Er Xin continued, "A Lord even higher than the Divines. The Divines themselves are merely subordinates to the Lords. In Ancient Times, there were many Lords; some resided in a higher Divine Domain, while others concealed themselves.
"Some have died. With the death of the Time Lord, the whole world changed, and time began passing very slowly.
"Then there’s the Different Dimension Space, which changes constantly. That’s because the Spatial Lord died, transforming the entire world into its current state.
"Currents of time and space fill the entire Upper Realm, capable of changing form at any moment.
"In your world, isn’t it thought that True Gods are the most powerful existences?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
