“Ha ha ha!”
After hearing the system’s words, Chen Changsheng burst into laughter.
“You’re right. Whether I am happy or not has always been up to me.”
“This path may be a bit bitter, a bit tiring, but I, Chen Changsheng, find joy in it.”
“If I truly did not want to walk this path, I might have made different choices long ago.”
“As long as I am on the path I chose, what is there for me to be dissatisfied about?”
“By the way, System, how much longer do you think it will take until I start to loathe my current self?”
In response, the system answered, “Host, I cannot provide an accurate number for that question. However, one day you will inevitably end this current life.”
“As for when the timeline is infinitely extended, everything can be regarded as a cycle.”
“That’s reasonable. I hope that day comes a bit later.”
“Because there are too many people in this world that I find hard to forget.”
“Also, if that day truly arrives, I hope the system can remind me of my current state, because I fear I might forget some things.”
“Sure!”
After saying this, the electronic voice disappeared, and Chen Changsheng stopped pursuing further questions.
A question posed by time can only be answered by time itself.
The most important thing now is to handle the matter at hand.
…
An hour later, Chen Changsheng left the Bronze Ancient Palace.
The same story, identical architecture, the only difference is that the three-colored teleportation array here has been completely destroyed.
Looking at the Bronze Ancient Palace before him, Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
“What are you all hiding? If it’s simply unlucky, it shouldn’t warrant such a mobilization of forces.”
“If you don’t want that kind of thing to pollute the world, just wipe out the clues directly; why keep the Bronze Ancient Palace?”
“While eliminating the ill-fated, they are downplaying the existence of the Bronze Ancient Palace, but they are just refusing to destroy it.”
“This kind of behavior is somewhat contradictory.”
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng frowned.
He had been searching for Wu Li’s homeland.
At first, he was just curious, after all, it was just a trivial matter.
However, the reactions of the Little Immortal and others made Chen Changsheng suspicious.
There was no need for the Little Immortal and Wu Li to hide such a trivial matter from him.
Unless Wu Li’s homeland involves a secret, a secret that would put him in a difficult position.
Only then would Wu Li continuously avoid telling him where his homeland was.
“Interesting, the truth behind this is getting more and more complicated.”
“I want to see whether it is you hiding it or me digging it up quickly.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng left the Mine Vein Small Realm.
In this exploration, Chen Changsheng did not find any substantial clues, but he did not return empty-handed.
At the very least, he understood that there were deeper secrets behind the Bronze Ancient Palace that he had yet to unravel.
In addition, Chen Changsheng discovered that the structure of the Mine Vein Small Realm was different from the surrounding small realms.
To put it more simply, the Mine Vein Small Realm was not naturally formed; rather, it had been relocated by someone.
This conclusion is quite interesting. The generation of the Heavenly Mandate is not related to the vastness of the “world,” but can only be born in certain specific places.
This hypothesis, at first glance, seems somewhat unfounded.
However, if one considers the phrase “the root of the world,” then this hypothesis becomes intriguing.
…
All the speculation brewed in Chen Changsheng’s mind, while the entire world continued to operate as usual.
The only difference is that the ownership of the Mine Vein Small Realm has fallen into Chen Changsheng’s hands.
A warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf!

This change caused all the ore suppliers to groan in agony.
Because after the Mine Vein Small Realm fell into Chen Changsheng’s hands, suppliers could no longer mine for free as they had before.
As a result, the prices of the ores would significantly increase, and their profits would decrease considerably.
In response, many ore suppliers began looking for new free mining sites.
Most of the ore-containing regions had been occupied by various forces; others would not allow them to mine for free.
The only solution was to swallow other forces and then mine their ores.
After all, the world was just beginning to show signs of collapse from over-extraction, and the ore suppliers didn’t want their own nests to suffer issues.
As for the nests of others, they needn’t concern themselves too much.
Under this motivation, wars slowly began to spread, centered on the Abyss World.
With war, the sales of magic treasures in Abyss City improved.
As demand expanded, more affordable new types of magic treasures were also researched and developed.
Moreover, the “heavenly materials and earthly treasures” emerging from the wars began to converge en masse toward Abyss City.
After all, some things were not necessarily taken by force; they could also be stolen.
This situation, with the fixed access points of the sixteen forbidden grounds being established, became even more frantic.
In just a short span of a thousand units of time, the flames of war swept across the entire Era.
Until one day, a special pursuit would become the turning point of this war.
…
“Don’t run!”
“Dare to come to my place to mine? You’re simply tired of living!”
The overwhelming Sword Qi drew the attention of everyone in Abyss City, while the three seventh-rank Immortal Kings who fled back to Abyss City brushed the dust off their clothes nonchalantly.
“Just mining a few stones, is it really necessary to be this stingy?”
“Bullshit!”
“Not even a blade of grass from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains can be taken away.”
“I’ll just ask you once, are you returning the items or not?”
“Not returning? If you have the ability, come in and fight me!”
After throwing a couple of taunts, the three seventh-rank Immortal Kings turned and entered Abyss City.
Seeing this, the pursuer was instantly infuriated.
“Unless you make a real move, do you really think I can’t deal with you?”
As he spoke, an ancient sword box appeared in the person’s hand.
However, before he could act, a figure appeared before him.
“After so long without seeing you, you dare to draw your sword at me. Not bad.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng in front of him, the previously furious Jian Fei instantly switched to a smiling face.
“Xiancha, what are you saying? How could I dare to draw my sword at you?”
“I was just scaring them a little.”
Seeing Jian Fei’s playful expression, Chen Changsheng replied lightly.
“Since you still recognize me as Xiancha, why have you not come to see me after so long in the Abyss World?”
“Don’t say anything like, ‘I didn’t know you were in Abyss City’.”
“The Qilin Project is advancing throughout the entire Era; Ma Ling’er is responsible for a lot of issues.”
“That girl is your close companion; how could you not know I am in Abyss City?”
In response, Jian Fei helplessly said, “Of course I know Xiancha is in Abyss City.”
“But this world is so chaotic right now, and the Qilin Project is so complicated, I simply haven’t had the time, alright?”
“This excuse is somewhat acceptable; I’ll write down this debt for now.”
“Now, tell me, what brings you here all of a sudden? Did another world push you out as a representative?”
