Chapter 572: The Truth of the Crimson Realm, Chen Changsheng: I’m in charge here.
Cave.
As he delved deeper, countless powerful formations flashed before Chen Changsheng’s eyes.
Yet, facing these terrifying formations, Chen Changsheng maintained his smile and even had the leisure to comment on them.
After an unknown period, the elder brought Chen Changsheng to a pile of longevity bl**d stones and then left.
Looking at the skeletal figures within the longevity bl**d stones, Chen Changsheng grinned.
“You all know how to pick good spots; this place indeed provides a perfect retirement spot.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, an old voice echoed.
“Undertaker, the Jiang family does not wish to be enemies with you, but neither do they wish to be friends. You should not have come today.”
“Hahaha!”
“You’re right, I shouldn’t have come today, but I still did.”
“Scaring those outside kids is enough with talk like ‘killing everyone.’ With you, I need to speak the truth.”
“The four races—humans, gods, beasts, and demons—control the Three Thousand Continents. The beast clan has been annihilated, and the demon clan has no foundation.”
“The divine clan has retreated, acting as a coward, and their true power has also fled.”
“Currently, among the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, only your Jiang family remains. When I encounter difficulties, I naturally come to you.”
“Considering my current hardships, aren’t you planning to help me?”
“Who caused this calamity!”
An angry voice questioned Chen Changsheng.
“If not for you stirring up the war in the Three Thousand Continents, this realm wouldn’t have lost its protective power.”
“Now wanting us to help you is nothing more than a dream.”
“You, Undertaker, aren’t known for killing people? Have the guts to k*ll all of us!”
Facing these angry words, Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow and immediately took out a shovel to start digging.
As he dug, he said, “Since you all want to d*e so badly, I’ll grant your wish.”
“I don’t believe that without Zhang Butcher, I can’t eat the hairy pig.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s actions, the spirits within the longevity bl**d stones grew furious, about to rush out when a voice stopped them.
“Shut up!”
After silencing some people, the oldest heritage of the Jiang family spoke.
“Even if the Jiang family is no longer what it once was, the troubles you’ve caused are beyond our ability to solve, let alone settling our accounts.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused his actions, leaning on the shovel with both hands.
“I, Chen Changsheng, may have killed many, but I definitely won’t k*ll you.”
“Destroying you would mean blocking the entire realm’s progress.”
“If the realm stabilizes, I, Chen Changsheng, will not hinder anyone’s development, including yours, Jiang family.”
“The human clan in the Three Thousand Continents is controlled by your three families. The person behind the Purple House Sacred Ground followed the Emperor Huangtian; that was their own choice.”
“If someone from your Jiang family could marry the Emperor Huangtian, I believe your actions would be quicker than those of the Purple House Sacred Ground.”
“After all, such a son-in-law is rare in this realm.”
“With these two gone, your Jiang family chose to stay in the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, proving you recognize the realm I created.”
“Therefore, you look at me with disdain because you can’t accept losing to me.”
Warm reminder: There are functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color” in the upper right corner of the page.

“However, whether you accept it or not, I must know what I want to know.”
“Because I’m in charge here!”
Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed in the cave, and the spirits within the longevity bl**d stones remained silent.
After a long while, the ancient heritage of the Jiang family spoke.
“What you want to know, we already know; there’s nothing more to tell you.”
“That’s not necessarily true. You’ve existed for too long and know much more than I do.”
“When I was in the Lower Realm, I killed Jiang Bufan. Before his d*ath, he told me to go to the Upper Firmament, saying there were greater secrets waiting for me.”
“At first, I thought he meant the Upper Firmament when he talked about the sky, but upon reaching the Upper Firmament, I found no great secrets.”
“I didn’t take it seriously since the enemy’s final words may not be true.”
“Later, I heard someone else mention ‘the root of the world.'”
“At the time, I still thought it referred to the relationship between the Upper Firmament and the Lower Realm.”
“After the war against the heavens, someone asked me to come out and restore the world. From him, I heard the term ‘the conservative.'”
“I knew this term referred to you, but I didn’t understand what you were guarding.”
“Whether it’s the Lower Realm or elsewhere, it doesn’t seem worth such a big fight.”
“It wasn’t until I and the Phoenix Emperor left this world that I understood the meaning of those words. ‘The sky’ refers to the outside world.”
“You’ve been guarding against those outside.”
“‘The root of the world’ does not refer to the Lower Realm but the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains.”
“Is the world we live in the origin of other worlds?”
“Why guard against others? What are their purposes?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s questions, the Jiang family heritage fell silent again.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng looked around and laughed, “Why the silence? Can’t say, dare not say, or unwilling to say?”
Hearing this, the Jiang family heritage replied, “We can’t say, dare not say, and are unwilling to say.”
“‘The root of the world’ hides too much. If you want to know the answers, find them yourself.”
“If you don’t speak, I won’t force you.”
“I’ve heard of the Deadly Valley, a forbidden ground, from some people long ago.”
“I thought it was hidden in small worlds, but later discovered it exists outside the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains.”
“To reach the outside world, one needs the Heavenly Mandate to cross, but Heavenly Mandate Holders are not cheap.”
“As I guessed, you must hold some special small passages; otherwise, you wouldn’t know about the outside world.”
“I need these passages!”
Regarding Chen Changsheng’s request, the Jiang family heritage said, “With your current strength and influence, building a large passage isn’t difficult.”
“Knowing those special passages won’t help you.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just tell me.”
“Fine!”
A jade slip flew towards Chen Changsheng. After scanning its contents, he smiled.
“No wonder I couldn’t find them; you truly know how to hide things.”
“One more question: My enemies are too strong, and even now, I haven’t fully found their weaknesses.”
“So, where is their vital point?”
