Chapter 2483 - 2173: Darling, Are You Planning to Stay Hidden in This Small World Forever?

Li Shuo, although unsure who the specific person Chen Wanrong mentioned might be, decided not to give up just yet.

He planned to try the simplest method, seeing if he could isolate them from contact with the mysterious force using objects.

If they don’t come into contact with that enigmatic power at the entrance to the Ancient Ruins, do they not need to worry about being corroded by it?

If they can avoid that force, even if they aren’t the specific people, they can still enter the Ancient Ruins.

Actually, he had considered this method before, but since the leaders of various forces gathered, most of them wanted to forcibly break open the ruin entrance.

He also thought that with so many Saint Realm experts together, breaking open a ruin entrance would be easy, so he didn’t propose his method.

However, now that even the people from Tianji Pavilion stood out to say the entrance couldn’t be forcibly broken open, he had to resort to his previous plan.

Seeing Li Shuo control a small golden tower approaching the ruin entrance, people instantly understood what Li Shuo intended to do.

He intended to use the Magic Treasure to protect their bodies, preventing them from contacting the Mysterious Power, then enter the Ancient Ruins.

But will that work?

That force is too terrifying; just standing nearby makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Can such simple isolation really prevent the corrosion by that power?

It feels a bit unreliable.

But now, aside from this method, there seem to be no other options.

Now it all depends on whether Li Shuo succeeds.

If Li Shuo’s trial is successful, others can use this method to send their people into the Ancient Ruins; even these Saint Realm experts can enter the ruins.

Soon, Li Shuo activated his small golden tower, slowly approaching the black vortex.

The moment the golden tower touched the Mysterious Power within the vortex, it instantly turned black.

Next, the black Mysterious Power even followed the Spiritual Evil controlling the golden tower, heading towards Li Shuo.

Witnessing this, Li Shuo’s expression changed drastically; he didn’t hesitate and immediately severed the control.

In mere moments, the golden tower was corroded by the black force and turned to ashes.

Seeing this, everyone present fell silent, shocked that even physical isolation didn’t work.

This mysterious power can corrode even non-living beings.

With this, the plan of using Magic Treasures to enter the ruins is thwarted.

What now?

Do they really have to find that so-called specific person?

But how do they identify which specific people can enter the Ancient Ruins?

Do they need to test one by one?

How is that different from lining up to die?

Once tainted by the Mysterious Power, one turns to ashes instantly, leaving no time for rescue. No one dares take that risk.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin respectfully asked Chen Wanrong: "Miss, how can we find that so-called specific person?"

Chu Yuqin thought, since Tianji Pavilion sent this person, surely they would reveal something?

Tianji Pavilion is reputed to know everything; they even know the Ancient Ruins require specific persons to enter, so they can naturally find the specific person.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s question, everyone’s eyes turned to Chen Wanrong, awaiting her answer.

However, Chen Wanrong said indifferently, "This can only be found by yourselves; even our Pavilion Master can’t deduce who the specific people are."

This...

Even the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion cannot deduce who can enter this Ancient Ruins?

Where should they search for the people who can enter these Ancient Ruins?

What now?

Do they just wait here?

Or let people test one by one, marching to their deaths?

Thus, various forces were blocked by the Mysterious Power at the entrance of the ruins.

Left with no choice, these forces camped nearby, then sent people back to report the Ancient Ruins matter to their leaders, allowing the leaders to decide the next steps.

Meanwhile, inside the Ancient Ruins, Lu Chen led people from Zhen Nan Prince Manor to build a city within the ruins’ Small World.

This Small World is indeed not suitable for ordinary survival, but children born after entering it, due to contact with the Spiritual Evil while in the womb, have high affinity for Spiritual Evil, basically becoming Spirit Martial Artists at birth. For this reason, there are no ordinary people among their second generation.

However, everything inside the Small World has only just begun, so living conditions are certainly not as good as outside.

But as for the environment, it is a lot better than the Great Zhou Dynasty; the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it’s crucially effective for Spirit Martial Artists practicing martial arts, yielding twice the result with half the effort, with realm advancement occurring swiftly.

Those Spirit Martial Artists Lu Chen brought into the Small World almost all improved a minor realm, with some even advancing a major realm.

Within the Small World, Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Assembly Hall.

Today, Lu Chen, together with confidants from Zhen Nan Prince Manor and loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Royal Family, gathered in the hall.

Lu Chen sat at the head, with Ji Yunmeng by his side.

Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty is virtually defunct, leaving its loyal ministers somewhat bewildered, unsure whether to follow commands from Zhen Nan Prince Manor or continue their loyalty to Ji Yunmeng.

Although Ji Yunmeng is Lu Chen’s significant other, nominally she is still the Empress.

Some ministers actually want Lu Chen to ascend the throne and proclaim himself Emperor.

But they don’t understand Lu Chen’s intentions, unsure if he has the desire to become Emperor.

After all, Lu Chen’s strength is so formidable that being Emperor or not seems irrelevant to him.

Moreover, this world holds only a few hundred thousand people; being Emperor seems inconsequential.

Most ministers want to suggest to Ji Yunmeng to yield the throne to Lu Chen.

But once they speak, there’s no turning back.

Even if Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng are spouses, should those ministers force the throne transfer, Lu Chen may be indifferent, but Ji Yunmeng as Empress could seek retribution against them.

So, ministers waited, awaiting the right moment, hoping to ascertain Lu Chen’s true thoughts.

Lu Chen sat and glanced at everyone in the hall, then said, "I know what you’re thinking, but let me remind you, I’m not interested in that position; what’s outside is the same as in this world."

Lu Chen is well aware that they wish to anoint him Emperor, yet he has no interest in that role; he didn’t wish to be Emperor outside, much less here.

Now he only wants to grasp the time in enhancing his realm, then leave with his wives and children from this Small World.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, those ministers considering persuading Ji Yunmeng to cede the throne to Lu Chen broke into cold sweats.

Thankfully, they hadn’t forced the issue, preventing potential doom upon themselves.

Since Lu Chen isn’t keen on becoming Emperor, they will maintain the status quo.

At this moment, Xue Linglong asked, "Darling, do you plan on staying within this Small World indefinitely?"

Lu Chen calmly replied, "Once I break through to the Saint Realm, I’ll explore the situation outside. As for you all..."

Saying this, Lu Chen’s gaze swept across the Outer Domain women like Xue Linglong and Wu Junwan.

Then, he smiled and said, "As for you all, if you wish to leave this Small World, you must each bear me two children."

"Once you fulfill my requirement, I will let you leave."
