Chapter 1018: Chapter 776: Continuing to Conquer the World (2)

But the return journey was different. With everyone traveling together, the pace slowed significantly. However, Emperor Xuanwu took this opportunity to explain some matters to everyone.

By the time they returned to the Capital City, a grave expression was evident on everyone’s face.

They felt Emperor Xuanwu had no reason to deceive them, because with his power, there was no need to do so, hence they believed his words.

"So what should we do?"

In the largest square of the Imperial Palace, a strong individual from another world spoke up.

Now that they knew the truth, they had no idea what to do next.

Emperor Xuanwu pondered and said, "It’s simple, just stay here and wait for the situation to evolve."

"Wait for the situation to evolve?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding Emperor Xuanwu’s meaning.

Emperor Xuanwu said slowly, "Think about it, with you leaving your world, its strength is effectively weakened, instead, you don’t attract the attention of the Mysterious World, this way you are safe."

"And for us, it’s different, with your addition, our strength greatly increases, instead we have more opportunities to counter the Mysterious World."

With this, everyone suddenly realized and nodded one after another.

"So that’s it, saying this way, we understand."

It’s a win-win.

Especially for them, this was even more so.

After all, by doing this, they can both protect their world and preserve the world here, a perfect situation.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with this proposal.

Emperor Xuanwu sighed with relief, and continued, "I’ll arrange accommodations for you, rest first, and prepare for challenges."

Everyone expressed their gratitude and then left with Emperor Xuanwu.

However, before Emperor Xuanwu left, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.

All these people had arrived here, yet Qin An was nowhere to be seen, what could be the reason?

Emperor Xuanwu shook his head, thinking no more about it.

He believed Qin An would certainly come, it was just a matter of time.

Now that Qin An hadn’t shown up yet, it meant he had other matters to attend to, and they were important, which caused the delay, once finished, he would definitely come.

Thinking this way, Emperor Xuanwu relaxed his mind, stopped worrying, and continued forward, arranging accommodations for them.

...

Following Emperor Xuanwu’s arrangements on this side, meanwhile, Qin An was not idle.

At this moment, Qin An had already arrived in another world.

Through that mysterious passage, he knew the people of this world didn’t believe him, instead, they paid no heed to his words, continuing their lives as usual, without any change.

Given this, Qin An could only come personally to make them believe his words.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

After arriving, the scene before his eyes came into view.

This was no longer a world of technology, but a desolate land.

Wherever he saw, there were weeds and scattered stones all over.

Not far ahead, a castle formed by piling massive stones came into view, majestic and magnificent, giving a sense of oppression.

Qin An furrowed his brows slightly, thinking to himself, "This looks like a place without civilization, do they really have cultivators here?"

With these thoughts, Qin An quickened his pace, heading towards the castle.

As the distance closed, Qin An saw the main gate of the castle tightly shut, with two guards standing at the entrance, holding weapons, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Qin An approached, but before reaching the gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Someone’s coming! There’s an enemy attack! Someone came from the place where that strange sound originated!"

The guard shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the castle.

Soon, the people inside the castle came out, holding weapons, watching Qin An vigilantly.

Leading them were two experts at the Heavenly Human Realm.

They were a man and a woman, the man handsome and elegant, the woman stunningly beautiful.

When they saw Qin An, one of the men stepped forward, his voice icy, saying:

"Halt, stranger, leave at once, or face the consequences."

The tone was harsh, full of hostility, making one shiver.

Qin An furrowed his brow slightly, remaining silent.

He could feel the great strength of these two people, but they were not a threat to him.

However, Qin An did not immediately take action, but spoke slowly:

"You heard the voice I sent over, but chose to ignore it, that was your choice, I won’t blame you, but I think I should strive a bit more."

Then, Qin An continued,

"This is an opportunity, it can solve your problems and mine, why not take it?"

After Qin An finished speaking, the man sneered.

"First, I don’t trust you because you’re not from this world."

"Second, we’ve never encountered the situation you described, thus I’m skeptical of your words."

"Finally, even if it’s true, we wouldn’t choose to collaborate with you, as we’ll handle our affairs ourselves, we don’t need others to intervene."

With the man’s account, everyone redirected their weapons at him once again.

The sense of distrust seemed almost tangible, spreading around.

Qin An furrowed his brow slightly.

He didn’t want to resort to violence, as there was no need, nor was it worthwhile.

But the current attitude from the other side irritated him somewhat.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Qin An exuded a formidable aura.

Even the man who spoke earlier couldn’t help but take a step back, feeling the pressure.

"I could kill you all effortlessly," Qin An said calmly, "but I don’t wish to do so, nor is there any need. Since you want to face it alone, let me show you what you’ll be up against."

Then, with a wave of his hand, Qin An unleashed the Power of Divine Soul.

He projected the cruel Heavenly Demons and the ravaged world for everyone to see.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, their faces extremely grave.

The man who spoke before widened his eyes, his expression incredulous, muttering to himself:

"What are these?"

Qin An said, "These are simply Heavenly Demons and the world corrupted by them. Even these alone are terrifying enough, can you handle them?"

"Of course, the Heavenly Demons are gone, slain by me, you needn’t worry. But that world is more terrifying than the Heavenly Demons, do you want to experience its horror? I can fulfill that for you."

Not resorting to violence doesn’t mean there’s no solution.

Since they wanted to face that world alone, let them experience the horrors of that world.

As his words fell, the man’s expression grew somber.

The cultivators around changed their expressions dramatically, overwhelmed by terror.

They were even paler, their faces turning ashen.

Having witnessed the Heavenly Demons was enough, yet to face something more terrifying, how could they withstand it?

Qin An took in their reactions but seemed indifferent, continuing to say, "It seems you really want to experience it, let me do you a favor, allow you to see it, also giving you mental preparation to confront them."

After speaking, Qin An made a large gesture, ready to use the Power of Divine Soul to mimic the world’s scene.

But at this moment, the man gritted his teeth and spoke:

"Wait!"

Qin An raised an eyebrow, "Wait for what? Didn’t you want to see it? I’m about to let you witness, broaden your horizon."

The man took a deep breath, forcing a smile, "I didn’t mean that, there’s no need to see, we truly can’t deal with them."

He too saw earlier, for this kind of overwhelming force, they had no resistance.

Qin An smiled, "Good, recognizing the gap in your strength is a good thing. Since you are unwilling, I’ll go myself, if we lose in the future, it’ll be on you."

With that, Qin An turned and left.

At this point, the man gritted his teeth and said:

"I’m willing!"
