Chapter 275: The Secrets of the Lower Realm, White-haired Chen Shisan
Listening to the voice behind him, the bearded man did not turn around but continued to fiddle with the offerings in front of him.
“It’s been thirteen hundred years, and you finally came to see me.”
“Since you’re here, then let’s confirm that I’ve succeeded.”
After saying this, the man turned his head to look at the person behind him.
This person was none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Zhang Bairen!
“Oh!”
“If you want to see me, just come directly. Why make someone go through all this trouble?”
Facing Zhang Bairen’s words, Chen Changsheng ignored him and instead turned to look at the young man beside Zhang Bairen.
However, strangely enough, this young man had white hair all over his head.
“Did you fight him?”
“No,” the white-haired young man shook his head and said, “When I saw him, he brought me here.”
“Do you have the confidence to k*ll him?”
“Not quite yet.”
“What’s lacking?”
“A weapon.”
“Very good, this guy needs a beating.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand to signal the two to sit down.
Looking at the smiling Zhang Bairen in front of him, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “There’s no need for us to beat around the bush.”
“I want to know all the secrets of the Lower Realm. If you don’t tell me, I’ll have Chen Shisan beat you up.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bairen glanced at the nearby Chen Shisan and smiled.
“You really managed to do it, impressive indeed.”
“But you should also know my methods. He only has the qualifications to k*ll me, but that doesn’t mean he can definitely k*ll me.”
“Having the qualifications to k*ll you is enough; there’s no one who can claim to be invincible.”
“The same goes for the Emperor Huangtian and you, Zhang Bairen.”
“As long as you lose half your life, your enemies will help me finish the job.”
“Moreover, I helped you start the War of Gods. This favor is owed to me. If you try to renege on it, I might consider killing you.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly and said,
“You are a carefree person in this world. Why burden yourself with chains?”
“The secrets of the Lower Realm are extraordinary. Once you know them, you will be forever entangled in this quagmire.”
“This is something you don’t need to worry about. Tell me what you know, or I’ll beat you up.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng looked at Zhang Bairen in front of him with a determined gaze.
Meeting Chen Changsheng’s gaze, the Lord of the Heavenly Court conceded.
“Fine, fine, fine!”
“If you want to know, I’ll tell you. I hope you won’t regret it and won’t be disappointed.”
“The secrets of the Lower Realm are actually very simple; you can glean some from its name.”
“There is ‘Lower’ so there must be ‘Upper.’ Above the Lower Realm lies another realm called the ‘Upper Realm.'”
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and looked at Shisan and said,
“Shisan, hit him, this guy isn’t being honest.”
“Hold on, gentlemen settle disputes with words, not fists. Why resort to fighting so easily?”
Seeing Chen Shisan about to take action, Zhang Bairen hurriedly stopped him.
“Zhang Bairen, I know you’re not looking for these answers. If you don’t speak the truth, I really will hit you.”
“I just told you the truth!”
“Just that you haven’t finished explaining.”
“Indeed, the Upper Realm is stronger than the Lower Realm, but the importance of the Lower Realm far exceeds that of the Upper Realm.”
“Because the ‘Lower Realm’ is the root of the entire Crimson Realm.”
“The root of the entire Crimson Realm?”
“What does that mean?”
“This theory is too ancient, and its exact origin cannot be verified.”
“I only know that the Lower Realm and the Upper Realm were originally connected, but I don’t know why they split apart.”
“One went up, one went down, and thus the concepts of the Upper Realm and Lower Realm came into existence.”
“Legend has it that if the Lower Realm were to be destroyed, the Upper Realm would cease to exist.”
“That’s why the Lower Realm is sometimes referred to as the ‘root.'”
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows.
Ever since learning about the term “Lower Realm,” Chen Changsheng had been speculating about the truth behind it.
He had considered countless possibilities, but never imagined it would be this answer.
“Since the Lower Realm is the root of the Upper Realm, why did the Upper Realm send people to control the Lower Realm?”
“What do you mean by ‘control’? That’s called helping the Lower Realm flourish.”
“If it weren’t for people from the Upper Realm, the Lower Realm might still be a savage wilderness.”
Hearing such an unexpected answer, even Chen Changsheng was puzzled.
Seeing this, Zhang Bairen sighed lightly and said,
“A long time ago, things were like this, but after a certain period, the relationship between the Upper and Lower Realms changed.”
“The Lower Realm rejected the Upper Realm, while the Upper Realm targeted the Lower Realm.”
“Subsequently, the two realms completely fell out, and the passage was sealed off.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know the specific reasons.”
“You don’t know?” Chen Changsheng looked at Zhang Bairen doubtfully and said, “You came from the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“Also, how long have you lived? You know in your heart, you wouldn’t be unaware of this matter.”
“I’ve indeed lived for a considerable amount of time, but most of it was spent in self-seclusion.”
“Furthermore, this period is limited and does not span the entire historical timeline.”
“When the problems between the two realms occurred, I hadn’t been born yet.”
Hearing this response, Chen Changsheng also realized the severity of the issue.
Even Zhang Bairen could only hear hearsay about the situation, indicating the time span was terrifyingly vast.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng slowly exhaled.
“The issues between the Upper and Lower Realms are too ancient. I don’t blame you for not understanding.”
“What I’m most curious about is why Wu Li hastily attacked the Ascension Road and antagonized the whole world.”
“Because he’s a b*stard!”
The usually calm Zhang Bairen cursed.
“The layout between the Upper and Lower Realms has been intertwined for countless years, affecting each other profoundly.”
“But this guy didn’t follow the rules, completely overturning the table.”
“Such actions would anger everyone, and getting beaten is what he deserves.”
“Not killing him on that road was sheer luck for him.”
“If it happens again, I’ll make sure he dies without a proper burial!”
Listening to the anger in Zhang Bairen’s tone, Chen Changsheng remained calm.
After Zhang Bairen finished cursing, Chen Changsheng spoke again, “Still the same question, why did Wu Li attack the Ascension Road.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bairen’s anger instantly dissipated.
He pondered for a moment and said calmly, “Because he is a deity, a deity revered by both the Upper and Lower Realms.”
“In other words, only the Emperor Huangtian is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of all living beings.”
“Because no matter how the Upper and Lower Realms are arranged, the ones who suffer the most are the living beings below.”
“Just like when you started the War of Gods.”
