Long Chen had been too focused before, and only after hearing Xia Guhong's reminder did he withdraw his gaze. When he did, his eyes instantly ached unbearably.
Long Chen was horrified to discover countless cracks on his eyeball, as if it was about to burst. Overwhelmed by the pain, even Long Chen couldn't help but groan in pain and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.
Long Chen felt a wave of lingering fear. Thanks to Xia Guhong's reminder, if he kept watching, this eye might very well be lost.
Long Chen never expected that, while watching without feeling anything, he would silently inflict such great harm.
With intense pain in his eyes, Long Chen hurriedly stopped the bleeding and put on the blindfold that Bai Xiaole's mother had given him.
"What a pity, I missed the most important scene."
Long Chen felt a bit frustrated; he hadn't seen the person who cast the net, nor the enormous figure.
"If you see something important, not only will your eyes be lost, but you might even lose your life.
This concerns the secrets of the Nine Heavens and involves billions of living beings, and the karma involved is simply beyond what you can bear now. Xia Guhong said.
In other words, if you can see even a little, that's already good; if you see the real secret, you might die.
At this moment, countless powerful figures stared at Long Chen in shock; they had noticed something unusual about him.
"He ... He actually dared to watch the Ancient Secret? "
He still hasn't died, but it seems he paid a terrible price."
"I wonder what secret he saw."
"What secrets don't matter, just force him to tell them when the time comes."
After the shock, people became greedy. Countless prodigies saw Long Chen as prey, wanting to know what he had seen.
What Long Chen saw, he directly bore the consequences of his actions. After what Long Chen relayed, the karma was less severe. So, as long as Long Chen was captured, interrogated, or his soul searched, he could find out what Long Chen saw.
Not only the young disciples were shocked by what was happening in the dark world, but even the older generation of powerhouses were filled with shock. They were eager to know what had happened, what kind of existence could sever space-time and shatter the laws of this world with a single roar.
"Hehe, boss, looks like you're going to become everyone's target." Seeing the greedy gazes of these people, Guo Ran sneered coldly.
"Kind words can't persuade those damned ghosts. Some people are so determined to die that no matter how hard they try, they can't be stopped. What we need to do is send them to another world to repent." Long Chen swallowed a pain-relief pill and said casually.
"Buzz"
At that moment, light gradually appeared within the three thousand worlds. The darkness quietly faded, and a sacred lotus slowly emerged—it was the reappearance of the Flower of the Great Dao. Everything returned to its original form.
When the Flower of the Great Dao appeared again, the dark world vanished, divine light spread across the land, and everywhere was filled with splendid mountains and rivers. Heaven and earth regained vitality, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood disappeared, the bloodshed and violence vanished. Time seemed like a magical hand, healing the wounds of the world. Time faded everything as if nothing had happened, and everything began to flourish and flourish again.
Everything he had seen before felt like a nightmare. Although the Flower of the Great Dao before him had returned to its original form, the scene still terrified countless people.
Those prodigies whose fighting spirit soared and their pride soared seemed to have been doused with cold water; most of their passion was extinguished, as if the three thousand worlds were not as beautiful as they had imagined.
They knew it wasn't a nightmare; it might have really happened, or even happened within the Three Thousand Worlds, recorded by the Flower of the Great Dao.
Although the battlefield they saw was just a fleeting glimpse and the scene was extremely brief, it already filled them with terror. The powerful figures of that era were terrifying; any random one could sweep through their entire area.
They finally understood why, in that era, the human race could stand atop all races, and why that generation was said to be an unsurpassable one.
The Flower of the Great Dao slowly spun, and the noisy Purple Flame Heaven fell into deathly silence. No one spoke, and after several breaths, people gradually recovered from their shock.
"We humans really once had such a glorious era." Some human powerhouses couldn't help but sigh, feeling deep respect and admiration for those predecessors.
"What's the use of glory? In the end, you'll just become our blood food, having to wag your tail and beg for mercy just to barely survive?" A demon clan expert sneered.
"No matter how glorious your human race has been, you must remember: in the Chaos Era, you humans were just a bunch of humble slaves."
"Humans are just a bunch of idiots who forget the pain after their wounds heal. Reasoning with you is useless; the most effective thing for you is always knives and whips. If you don't obey, beat them; if not, just chop them to death."
Other clan powerhouses also sneered, because in the earlier scene, they had seen their own ancestors. They were both shocked and furious, never expecting the human race to be so terrifying.
"A bunch of reckless fools, what do you think you are? Since the ancestors of the human race once had glory, we descendants will surely continue to shine again." Guo Ran was furious, pointing at the arrogant aliens and sneering.
"Continue the glory?" What a huge joke. Your human race has been killing each other for countless years, fighting countless civil wars, and you don't even need us to act—you can kill yourselves yourselves.
Before we came, we saw you foolish humans pushing each other out and fighting each other. A race that doesn't understand unity is still glorious. Are you trying to laugh us to death? The foreign powerhouse laughed heartily.
With his laughter, countless powerful figures followed suit, mocking the human race. But the human warriors were furious and helpless, for it seemed the human race had never been united. That person's words hit the heart of the matter, impossible to refute.
The human race knows they should unite, but they simply can't. The human heart is the most incomprehensible thing in this world, even harder to understand than the Heavenly Dao.
Throughout human history, countless heroes have emerged, but none have united the human race. The words of those foreign powerhouses, though harsh, are true.
"Laughing you all to death might not work, but killing you all—I think it's worth a try." Guo Ran's anger surged up, wishing he could start a massacre right now—he was furious.
Eighteen Dragonblood warriors were even more armed, ready to strike as soon as Guo Ran made a move.
The Dragonblood warrior endured countless hardships, only to be tempered to become even more resilient. His fearless will remained as sharp as a divine weapon drawn from its sheath, even sharper than before.
"Human idiots, listen up! Don't let me see you in the Three Thousand Worlds, or I'll kill every one I see." A powerful member of the demon beast clan shouted arrogantly.
Other clan powerhouses also shouted, their provocation increasingly obvious. Except for the Spirit Clan, almost all other races began provoking the humans, insulting them to the extreme.
The human warriors were both shocked and furious. What was going on? Was this going to repeat the previous scene? Is the War of Ten Thousand Clans about to start again?
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the spatial gate trembled, and endless light rain poured down from within. When the light rain fell on people, they involuntarily flew toward the spatial gate.
"It's starting, hahaha!"
Someone flew out, shouting excitedly. Suddenly, a rain of light fell on Guo Ran, and he too flew toward the Gate of Space.
"Ha, your damn egg, I've never liked you."
Guo Ran flew toward the spatial gate, just brushing past the powerful demon beast clan member who was laughing heartily, and punched the man.
"Pfft"
The beast clan expert was blown apart by Guo Ran's punch.
"Courting death!" Guo Ran's
punch instantly ignited the fury of the beast clan. They charged straight at him from the void. At that moment, Long Chen's body suddenly trembled, and a strange pulling force pulled him toward the Sky Gate. At that moment, the blood on Long Chen's body boiled instantly.
