Chu Sheng suddenly turned around, an ominous premonition surging within him, like a massive stone pressing down on his heart. The Merit Book trembled violently, as if it were warning of an impending disaster.
"They..." elder Li began to speak, but before Lin Yue could finish, the ground shook violently, resembling an earthquake. A large amount of debris fell from above with a crackling sound, like hailstones raining down. Worse still, countless blood-red eyes flickered to life in the darkness, like ghostly flames in the night sky. Approaching them was a figure even larger than the strange beasts they had encountered before, resembling a horde of colossal monsters exuding an aura of destruction.
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Wang's face changed dramatically as he instinctively tightened his grip on the black dagger in his hand.
Chu Sheng's expression hardened as he quickly made a judgment: "Retreat! This is not the time to fight."
The three turned to run back but found their path blocked by collapsed rocks. Lin Yue stomped his feet anxiously: "We're done for! We're really trapped like fish in a barrel now."
Just at that critical moment, the Ability Orb on the altar suddenly erupted with a brilliant light, illuminating the entire stone chamber. The brightness was blinding, making it impossible to open their eyes, as if it were about to swallow the entire world.
"Ah!" The three exclaimed in unison, instinctively shutting their eyes.
When they opened them again, they were left dumbfounded by the sight before them. The stone chamber had vanished, replaced by a vast starry sky. Countless stars twinkled around them, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Wha... where is this?" Lin Yue murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.
Chu Sheng scanned their surroundings, his vigilance undiminished: "Be careful; this is likely some kind of illusion."
As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom figure suddenly appeared before them. It was an elderly man who looked both ancient and dignified; his body was semi-transparent, like some sort of projection.
"Welcome to the Truth Realm, young warriors," the old man's voice was deep and distant, as if it had traversed through time and space.
Wang Wang looked on with suspicion: "Who are you? What is this place?"
The old man smiled faintly: "I am the guardian of this secret realm, or rather, a remnant soul of the guardian. As for this place, you may understand it as a special space where truths are revealed."
Chu Sheng frowned slightly, "What truth?"
The Guardian's gaze deepened, "The truth about this world, the truth about Zheng Shen and the Evil God."
Lin Yue gasped, "What? Are you saying that Zheng Shen and the Evil God..."
The Guardian nodded, "Exactly. Everything you know is merely a facade. Zheng Shen and the Evil God are not what you imagine them to be."
As the Guardian spoke, the starry sky around them began to shift, revealing scenes from ancient times, filled with primal wildness and brutality.
"In ancient times, there was no such thing as Zheng Shen or the Evil God in this world. There were only powerful beings who craved more strength." The Guardian's voice echoed through the cosmos, "They discovered the existence of the origin of the world, a place that contained boundless power. To seize this power, they began a long struggle."
In the images, countless powerful beings fought fiercely, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
"Ultimately, two of the most powerful beings emerged victorious. To gain the support of humanity, they appeared as Zheng Shen and the Evil God." The Guardian continued, "But in reality, they were both manipulating humanity, treating humans as pawns and tools."
Chu Sheng felt a jolt in his heart as the Merit Book trembled violently, as if affirming the Guardian's words.
"So, the Zheng Shen we have always believed in..." Lin Yue's voice trembled slightly.
The Guardian sighed, "They used human faith to gain power while secretly controlling human destiny. The so-called distinction between good and evil is merely a trap they set to compete for power."
Wang Wang's face darkened, "So we've been deceived all along?"
"Not entirely," the Guardian shook his head. "They did grant humanity strength and protection, but at the same time, they were exploiting humans. This is the truth of this world—complex and contradictory."
Chu Sheng fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "So, what exactly is the Merit Book?"
The Guardian's gaze settled on Chu Sheng. "The Merit Book is an accident, a product of the World Will. It belongs neither to the Zheng Shen nor to the Evil God; rather, it represents the will of this world itself."
As the Guardian spoke, Chu Sheng felt the Merit Book in his chest suddenly become scorching hot, a powerful force surging into his body.
"I pass my power onto you, young man." The Guardian's figure began to blur. "You have a special mission and may be able to change the fate of this world."
Chu Sheng felt the power within him grow wildly, his abilities receiving unprecedented enhancement, and his martial skills becoming even more refined. Lin Yue and Wang Wang looked at the overwhelming aura radiating from Chu Sheng, speechless in astonishment.
At that moment, new functions suddenly appeared on the Merit Book. Chu Sheng was thrilled to discover that he could now absorb the residual power and knowledge of lingering souls, and even exchange Merit Points for more powerful abilities and equipment.
"This... this is too outrageous!" Chu Sheng felt both excited and somewhat anxious; this sudden influx of power left him feeling somewhat lost.
The Guardian's voice grew weaker. "Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You are about to face greater challenges; Heishan sect will soon arrive. Leave this place quickly, young ones."
As soon as the words left his lips, the surrounding starry sky began to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse.
"Not good, we need to get out of here!" Chu Sheng shouted as he grabbed Lin Yue and ran toward the exit.
Wang Wang also reacted quickly and followed closely behind. The three of them desperately sprinted through the collapsing space, with stars continuously falling around them as if doomsday had arrived.
Just as they were about to be engulfed, a blinding light flashed, and they suddenly found themselves back in that stone chamber.
"Whew... whew... that was close." Wang Wang gasped for breath, his face still showing signs of lingering fear.
Lin Yue looked at Chu Sheng, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Chu Sheng, how... how are you feeling right now?"
Chu Sheng took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him. "To be honest, it feels a bit unreal. But..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a violent tremor suddenly shook the entire secret realm, as if it were quaking. In the distance, strange howls echoed, sounding even more terrifying than the bizarre beasts they had encountered before.
"Damn it, it seems like the people from Heishan sect have arrived!" Wang Wang's expression changed. "We need to think of a way to get out of here quickly."
Chu Sheng's gaze sharpened. "No, we have to find elder Li and the others first. They might still be in danger."
Just as the three were about to take action, a chilling voice suddenly emerged from the darkness. "Heh heh, trying to leave? I’m afraid it won’t be that easy."
Chu Sheng and the others turned sharply to see a tall figure in black slowly stepping out, followed by a dozen others dressed similarly. Each of them radiated a powerful aura, clearly experts in their own right.
" Heishan sect!" Wang Wang gritted his teeth.
The man in black sneered. "Didn’t expect us, did you? We’ve been waiting for you here all along. Now, hand over the secrets you know, and perhaps I can grant you a quick end."
Chu Sheng clenched his fists, feeling the power surging within him. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. Yet inside, he remained unusually calm. He understood that this was not just a fight; it was the beginning of his quest to change this world.
"Come on," Chu Sheng said coldly. "Let me see just how powerful you so-called experts really are."
