Peerless War God

[Is that so?]    

"That's right, you are worthy to be taught." The Purple Gold Marquis clapped his hands and laughed. His face was full of gratification as he said, "That is the truth. The road ahead is clear and close at hand. As a human being, one should have the courage to chase after it. That is human nature.    

But what if, from the very beginning, a terrible, suffocating truth had been laid out before you, and you were still a low level cultivator, but there were already people standing at the top who could take your life with a snap of their fingers?"    

" This... "Chen Xiao's eyes trembled as he opened his mouth, unable to say a word.    

It was as if a stone had been placed in his heart. Although he felt aggrieved, he did not know what to do.    

The Marquis shook his head and said, "Let me tell you. I have seen a lot of things like this. There are only two possible outcomes. One is to break your heart, while the other is to give up."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face was filled with defeat and dejection, but he forced himself to be stubborn, "Sir, is there no resistance?"    

"There is, but that kind of existence is rarely seen in this world. It's almost impossible to find one in ten million people." The Duke of Purple Gold sighed.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao seemed to have understood everything.    

He opened his mouth slightly and said, "That's why there is the order of cultivators, the difference between the strong and the weak, and the difference between the inside and the outside. Heh... What a load of nonsense."    

As he thought about it, he immediately thought of the Immortal King's Book of Treasures that he had seen in the secret room, as well as the many Xuan Heavenly Treasures that were hidden in it.    

Treasures were limited, but there were many cultivators. How to divide them was a headache.    

Chen Xiao was one hundred percent sure that there must be a lot of dirty things going on here. It was common for people to say high-sounding words and do dirty things. Even the long life experts of the nine great forces were no exception.    

Because this was human nature.    

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but frown, and his face became gloomy. He sighed and said, "That's why there's the order of cultivators set by the nine forces, and the current situation in the God Domain."    

As Chen Xiao spoke, he looked at the Duke of Purple Gold.    

The Duke of Zi Jin looked at him and his eyes lit up. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, your comprehension ability is not bad. Now that the calamity is about to arrive, whether the old order will be destroyed and a new order will be established, or whether the human race will be wiped out, none of this can be determined."    

The Duke of Purple Gold's worry and uneasiness were clearly seen by Chen Xiao, causing his heart to tremble.    

"Even you, my lord, are not confident?"    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao's heart trembled, unable to calm down for a long time.    

In his knowledge, the Duke of Zi Jin had always been a calm and collected person. He had a plan in mind for everything, but he felt uneasy about this matter.    

Could the demon race really be so strong that they could defeat the human race? At this moment, even he started to feel uneasy.    

As expected, bad things could be passed on.    

The Duke of Zi Jin sighed and said, "That's right. The order of the cultivators led by the Nine Great Forces has been running for too long, and it has long since decayed. How could I not know the reason behind this? But it's too late to change it. The calamity of the demon race is not far off."    

"This..." Chen Xiao revealed a worried expression, but he sneered in his heart.    

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done so in the first place. After all, no one would regret their actions until they see their own coffin.    

The Duke of Zi Jin would say these words in front of him, but the others might not.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao said seriously: "Lord Zi Hou, we shouldn't worry so much. No matter if it's the nine great forces or the calamity of the Demon Race, we are just protecting ourselves."    

The Marquis Zi Jin was startled. He carefully thought about these words and muttered, "We are just protecting ourselves. We are just protecting ourselves. Haha, what a good way to protect ourselves..."    

The Duke of Zi Jin seemed to have thought of something as his eyes lit up. He turned his head and stared at Chen Xiao.    

At this moment, a spirit that could swallow mountains and rivers erupted from his body.    

"What a good idea to protect yourself. I didn't expect that I would go through so much trouble. Chen Xiao, what you said is right. It's enough for me to protect myself."    

"This... Sir, did you misunderstand something?" Chen Xiao paused for a moment and asked tentatively.    

He was sure that the meaning of the Marquis Zi Jin's words was different from what he wanted to say.    

However, he could not tell what exactly was different. This was probably the difference in their cultivation realms.    

Chen Xiao scratched his head in distress.    

The Duke of Zi Jin took half a step forward and patted his shoulder as he laughed, "No, you're the one who woke me up. I'm just trying to protect myself. These four words are enough for me to understand my own nature. No matter what kind of order a cultivator has, all I want is to protect myself. I didn't expect you to understand this at such a young age. I'm not as good as you."    

...... "" Chen Xiao's forehead turned black, what did this mean?    

Was that so? He did not understand at all.    

"Lord Zi Hou, I..." Chen Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to explain himself.    

However, he was interrupted by the Purple Gold Marquis, "There is no need to say anything more. The heavens know what we are going to say today, and the earth knows what we are going to say. We don't need a third person to know what we are going to say."    

The Duke of Purple Gold laughed. The barrier around him started to shake.    

"This Duke of Purple Gold is an interesting person, but unfortunately, his cultivation is too low." At this moment, Xiluo's voice sounded in Chen Xiao's heart.    

... "" Chen Xiao's expression collapsed.    

What? Why did he become the one scratching his head? Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to think about it.    

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao asked, "Sir, please teach me what I should do in the future."    

This was the most important thing that the Duke of Zi Jin had to discuss with him today.    

The Duke of Purple Gold nodded his head and said: "In this set of rules, if you want to go up, there are only two choices. Either join one of the Eight Great Forces or stay in the Immortal King's seat."    

Chen Xiao frowned, and asked: "I know that you have sided with the Eight Great Forces, there is no need for Lord Zi Hou to say anything more. But this Immortal Throne, is there any other explanation?"    

The Duke of Purple Gold smiled and said, "Of course. If you join one of the eight forces and get the favor of an expert, you will get a lot of benefits. However, there are also many restrictions and rules. In comparison, if you become a guard of the Immortal King Throne, there will be fewer restrictions and rules. However, you will have to fight for the human race at all times, especially now that the demon race is facing a disaster. This is a danger and an opportunity. You can decide what to do."    

"This..."    

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment as he had a rough idea of what to do. He then asked, "Sir, what do you think I should do?"    

The Duke of Zi Jin's eyes moved. He glanced at him and said, "If I have to choose, it will naturally be the latter."    

"Please enlighten me, Sir," Chen Xiao hurriedly said.    

The Duke of Purple Gold laughed and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. It's because you should have seen the reward list, right?"    

"Yes."
