Lin Yun immediately became alert. Coming to an unfamiliar environment, he couldn't display his full strength. He was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
The bird-man monster squinted his eyes and smiled:
"Who am I? I'm just an outcast. But you, your soul is very unique. It has the aura of a familiar person, and it has actually matured and has its own consciousness."
"What do you intend to do by sucking me into this space?"
The bird-man monster is not as unconscious and extremely aggressive as the monster in front of the city before.
On the contrary, it has a more humane side.
"I have something to ask you."
It sat on the ground. At this moment, it did not look like a frightening monster, but more like an old man who had polished agarwood over the years.
"You are the most special warrior in the past thousand years. I want to ask you, do you know the properties of this secret realm?"
The bird-man monster seemed to be certain that Lin Yun would answer, so it asked directly.
Lin Yun thought for a moment and asked tentatively:
“Could it be the tomb of a powerful person who died in the great war before entering the divine realm?”
It seems that this bird-man monster has no intention of fighting with Lin Yun. In this case, they can sit down and have a good talk.
Unexpectedly, it sneered.
"Those people are very careful about their reputation and never engage in any large-scale battles. Especially at their level, they are very afraid of death."
Lin Yun's pupils shrank sharply.
That means this is not the tomb of the gods!
"So what exactly is this place? Could it be the place where the gods left their legacy? Or is it connected to the gate to the divine realm?"
He was very confused.
Since it is not a so-called tomb, why can one still ascend to the divine realm with the help of chance?
There must be a reason why it has attracted so many saints over the years.
Perhaps the people of the Eastern Dynasty did not have records, but in other places in the Tianwu Continent, there were also many elderly people who had lived for many years.
There must have been people who had entered the secret realm before and survived by chance.
Why did they choose to remain silent?
Why has no one ascended in all these years?
If this secret realm does not have any opportunity for ascension, then why do saints flock to it?
Those who can cultivate to the level of a saint are not fools.
This series of questions forms a closed loop. Every question is unreasonable, but some people still do it.
"You're only half right."
The birdman looked at the dim sky above his head and said:
"I've said before that it's absolutely impossible for them to engage in a major battle. It's even more impossible for them to leave behind a legacy. Not only do they cherish their lives, they also fear having their status challenged."
"As the saying goes, human nature is like this. There are also several forces above, hindering each other. The largest one is called the Divine Court, which was founded by those who first ascended to the divine realm."
"They want to rule the divine realm and take all the continents under its jurisdiction into their possession! They want all the ascenders from the lower realms to enter their divine court and become their divine servants."
At this time, the bird-man monster did not seem to be asking Lin Yun a question, but was telling the latter that this world was a huge lie.
The divine realm is not a perfect place either.
It is an enlarged version of the Tianwu Continent, where humanity still overshadows divinity!
Lin Yun took a deep breath and digested this information carefully.
He didn't know whether the information was true or not.
But subconsciously, he already believed this statement.
"Then... Senior... is the ascension to the divine realm also a lie? The Divine Court is only selecting the most loyal believers, and only those chosen by them can ascend?"
The bird-monster nodded.
"Every thousand years, the divine realm will send down a divine messenger to preside over the opening of this secret realm. During this time, the remaining souls of the few who have ascended before will also appear to test your loyalty."
"Of course, loyalty alone isn't enough. Your talent is also crucial for a successful ascension. If you only have talent but no loyalty, the ascender's phantom will forcibly possess your body! When the secret realm closes, the remaining soul will return to sleep in the adversity."
Lin Yun could already figure it out without the bird-man monster saying too much.
After being possessed by another body, once the residual soul that occupies the body leaves, the body will completely become a dead object.
He suddenly remembered the saint warrior named Xu Qingfeng.
Perhaps he was possessed by someone else, and the remaining soul of the ascended being was inside, so he told himself to go ahead without worry.
If this is true, then Fengjiu and Fengmei will be in danger.
He stood up suddenly and began to look for a way out.
The bird-man monster looked at Lin Yun who was so anxious, and waved his hand. The dim sky and earth suddenly became clear.
He could also see the scene outside from here.
No one was fighting, everyone was cautiously guarding against each other.
Come to think of it, if they still think about internal fighting under such circumstances, then even if these people enter the secret realm of the divine world, they will become the running dogs of the divine court!
Lin Yun returned to the opposite side of the bird-man monster again. This time he no longer had the fear he had before, and his attitude became respectful.
"Senior, you just mentioned being abandoned. Could it be that you disagreed with the Divine Court's rule and were exiled to the Tianwu Continent?"
From the bird-man monster's few words, one can hear its dissatisfaction with the Divine Court.
"No, in fact, I was once a slave of the Divine Court. I believed the words of those so-called gods and that's why I came down to the mortal world to guard this place and select ascenders for them."
"But year after year, they never let us leave, so we began to think about resisting. Unfortunately, my power alone is too small."
"My entire sect was transformed into monsters by divine punishment and expelled from the secret realm of the divine world. The people of the Divine Court replaced us with the remaining souls of those who ascended."
This is why the bird-man monster says that he is an abandoned person.
The divine punishment that has been passed down in the Eastern Dynasty for who knows how many years is also based on facts.
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt unprecedented anger.
These monsters are all immortal. After being killed, they will be reborn on that land.
The so-called immortality is a torture for them.
Perhaps there is still a human side to them, but they can no longer express it.
Or perhaps when they were fighting the desert worms and the three-headed demon dog, they also wanted to beg for mercy and talk about the unfair treatment they were receiving.
Unfortunately, the powerful pressure of divine punishment forced them to attack like wild beasts.
Moreover, not only that, the Eastern Dynasty also suffered an unexpected disaster.
The spiritual energy is thin, and natural disasters and man-made disasters occur.
These are all the consequences of the Divine Court's desire to rule.
