Chapter 389: What is Secret Realm?
The thing that Ye Zhongming suggested left Ah Tao, Grey Mountain, and the Mountain Bank Tribe higher-ups who just joined speechless.
This strong and terrifying guy said he wanted to head to the Imperial City alone as he couldn’t wait for the winter.
Where was the Imperial City?
It was the core of the entire Posthumous race!
They were backward and small, and survival was a significant problem. Facing the worsening survival situation and the strengthening demon monsters, they had to move into the mountains to hide from attacks. They were mocked by the girls and kids from Dawn Saint Hall.
This was right; these were things that happened.
But they had survived for years in the Blue Continent. Them, Night Demon Plains, and Dawn Saint Hall split the world into three. No matter how weak they were, their core area wouldn’t be weak.
Ye was strong. The three leaders even suspected that he could battle a large tribe alone, and he had a very high chance of winning.
But the Posthumous people not only had large tribes. They had super tribes. Each of the seven kings represented a super tribe. The headquarters of these super tribes were in the imperial cities.
If Ye Zhongming were a Posthumous person, it would be okay. Even if he headed to the imperial city, as long as he didn’t do anything out of hand, he would, at most, get chased out.
But he had a background that even Ah Tao couldn’t explain. Were the Dabu Tribe the only people who would think that he was a Dawn Saint Hall spy? No, definitely not! If they noticed that he was different, many would have the same thoughts as the Dabu tribe. They would capture him or kill him and then send him to the king for reward.
Even the kings would do the same and kill Ye Zhongming.
They couldn’t be sure that he wasn’t from Dawn Saint Hall. But did they have to be sure? No, they didn’t. Killing such an unknown person and maintaining the status quo. Any rational ruler would do that.
If one followed Ye Zhongming’s previous plan and developed, using the hundred days of winter to slow things down and grow them into a super faction, he would have the right to negotiate with the imperial cities. The cities would recognize them, and if they didn’t want a King Alliance Meeting position, such recognition would be much easier!
He could then stabilize the tribe and continue to develop. Once he grew to the level of the kings, he would be destined to leave a glorious mark in the Posthumous people's history books.
This was what the few tribe leaders thought; this was the plan they would follow!
But Ye changed his mind and wanted to head to the Imperial City alone. Wasn’t he asking to die? He was strong, but he wasn’t stronger than the kings. The kings were all above level seven. The strongest had reached level eight. It was a height that people could only look up to. Ye was around level five. He could barely fight a level-six warrior if one included all outside factors. But level seven, seven of them, was too much!
Facing the three leaders’ attempts to persuade him, Ye Zhongming handed them a plan. He asked Miya to help him write it.
“Thank you, but I have to make this choice.” Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath and looked at the three of them, “Strictly speaking, I do not belong to this world.”
The three of them were stunned. Miya opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Han Yihao and his wife were attending, and Ye Zhongming looked at them, “They too. We come from the same place called Earth.”
A few of them saw the couple nod. They finally believed that Ye wasn’t from the Blue Continent.
“Then, you are going to the Imperial City to…”
Miya thought about a bad possibility, and her eyes turned red.
Ye Zhongming nodded, “I need to leave this place. My subordinates in another world are facing a crisis. If I can’t return, they will all die.”
There was too much information that the three leaders couldn’t digest, and they could only listen.
“As for how we entered Blue Secret Realm, it was quite magical. But after we entered, we realized that we couldn’t exit how we entered. I have already found three possible exits.”
“Dawn Saint Hall’s Gate of Blessing, Night Demon Plain’s Cursed Abyss, and also… Imperial City’s Saint Pool.”
The three leaders and Miya knew why Ye Zhongming was eager to head to the Imperial City. The pool there was what he felt was the way back.
Ah Tao smiled and pointed at Ye Zhongming, “Ye, without you, what is the use of this? Without your help, not to mention proceeding with the plan, we can’t even stop the Imperial City from punishing us. We will get wiped!”
Grey Mountain and Mountain Bank sighed. The two of them, who were pumped up after the Barbarian Copper Monster Hunt, froze like statues.
“No, I will come back, as there are secrets here that I must find out!” Ye Zhongming was certain.
The demon crystals and demon monsters were just the mutated lifeforms on Earth. But there were no zombies here and no wheels. Why? Ye Zhongming had many guesses. The more time he spent here, the more questions he had.
Ye Zhongming felt like this was… Earth many years later!
Or rather, this was the ending of Earth!
Or if his guesses were wrong, was this a blueprint?
A blueprint that turned Earth into the apocalypse!
The people behind those lifeforms obtained genes or something Ye Zhongming didn’t know and then implanted them on Earth?
The other Secret Realms that he hadn’t entered. Were they such a template, too? Were those controllers using Earth to do experiments?
Which was the answer? Or were they all wrong, and there was another explanation? Ye Zhongming wanted to know.
He wanted to leave, but he was going to come back. He wanted to head to the Imperial City, to Dawn Saint Hall, to find people with knowledge. He wanted to find the oldest books and search for an answer!
A few hours after the apocalypse descended, the Secret Realm fell from the sky. Who tossed these keys? Those controllers or someone else? If it was the latter, would they be friends of Earth?
Ye Zhongming wanted to know many things!
“Don’t worry. I found secrets between the world I was from and here. This secret has bought me enough time to get back here!”
Ye Zhongming exposed another secret that confused many in the room…
