He continued deeper into the passage, walking step by step, occasionally observing the runes around him.

Each pattern seemed to contain boundless wisdom and energy, leaving one in awe. In this mysterious environment, Qin Ze's curiosity and excitement continued to rise.

"This place is completely different from the depths of the trial in the original novel. Could it be... that my rebirth has changed the history of this world?" Qin Ze speculated in his heart.

He knew he was a reincarnated being, but he was unaware of the impact his existence had on the world.

He felt a faint vibration beneath his feet and realized that he was slowly approaching a target.

Gradually, a bright light appeared at the end of the passage.

Qin Ze quickened his pace and headed towards the light.

As he walked out of the passage, an expression of amazement appeared on his face.

Before us was a wide cave, the light coming from a bright gem suspended in the center of the cave.

This was the same gem he had seen earlier in the open area.

"This gem... could it be the core of this mysterious place?" Qin Ze stared at the gem, his mind filled with questions.

He began to seriously consider the origin and purpose of this mysterious place.

The gemstone emitted fluctuating energy, seemingly reacting to Qin Ze. He tried to touch the gemstone, but felt an invisible force blocking him.

"This gem seems to possess special energy, which ordinary people cannot easily access." Qin Ze frowned, realizing that this gem was not a simple ornament, but contained some kind of incredible power.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in his mind: "Host, don't panic. You have reached the core of the secret realm. That gem is the key to the entire trial. This is the core key to the secret realm, and I can help you obtain it."

Qin Ze was shocked when he heard the news. He had not expected that this mysterious place would contain such a huge secret.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure this is true? So, if I get the gem, I can control the entire depths of the trial?"

"Yes, host. This gem is the core of the deepest part of the trial. Possessing it will grant you control over the entire secret realm," the system replied affirmatively.

"Help me get the gem!" Qin Ze said immediately.

Now, it is no longer a simple place of trial, but a world full of infinite possibilities.

The system began to function, using its special abilities to help Qin Ze evade the invisible force and successfully access the gem.

With the system's help, Qin Ze successfully came into contact with the gemstone.

He felt the powerful energy emanating from the gemstone, and an indescribable excitement and exhilaration surged within him.

"Host, you have obtained the gem, and now you have control over the entire secret realm. All the phantom demons will obey your commands, and you can make them do anything." The system's voice came to Qin Ze's ear.

Qin Ze felt incredibly excited and satisfied.

He knew that he now possessed the power of the secret realm and could control this mysterious world.

There are at least tens of thousands of phantom demons inside this secret realm, and each of them is a martial artist, with the strongest having reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

This is definitely a powerful force.

"Phantom demons, obey my command!" Qin Ze silently chanted in his heart. The phantom demons that had previously given him a headache immediately obeyed Qin Ze's command, putting down their fighting and gathering towards the center of the secret realm.

This left the other families, who were still fighting the Phantom Demon, completely puzzled!

In the secret realm, the phantom demons suddenly gathered in one direction and stopped fighting. This sudden change left everyone present puzzled and confused.

Zhao Dongdong from the Zhao family frowned deeply, filled with doubt: "Why did these phantom demons suddenly stop? They seem to be gathering something. Could some strange change have occurred?"

Yuan Tie from the Yuan family also felt uneasy. He muttered to himself, "The behavior of the Illusion Demons is really strange. They have no intelligence, only the instinct to fight. Why did they suddenly stop?"

Jin Moyu of the Jin family frowned, a hint of unease creeping into her heart: "Could it be that the Illusion Demons have formed some kind of alliance? If so, this is not good news for us."

Chu Tian of the Liu family had a deep gaze as he stared intently at the group of illusionary demons, secretly wondering, "The behavior of these illusionary demons is really strange. It seems that they are following some kind of command. Could it be that some hidden power has appeared?"

The other families exchanged puzzled glances, all trying to guess what had happened.

But no one dared to act rashly, after all, this mysterious realm was full of unknowns and dangers.

As the phantom demons exhibited unusual behavior, a strange change began to occur deep within the secret realm trial, with an invisible force distorting space.

The once peaceful environment began to shake violently, as if announcing that some important moment was about to arrive.

Zhao Dongdong of the Zhao family gripped his sword tightly, watching the rapidly changing scenery around him, his heart filled with panic and unease: "What happened? Why has the secret realm suddenly become so unstable?"

Yuan Tie from the Yuan family also felt extremely nervous. He frowned and said to the person beside him, "We need to leave here quickly! The secret realm has begun to close, and we can't stay here any longer."

Wang Ying looked at Qin Ze with a hint of confusion and doubt on her face: "Qin Ze, what exactly happened just now? Why did the secret realm suddenly close?"

Qin Ze glanced at Wang Ying indifferently, but didn't say anything. He didn't intend to explain to anyone.
