Chapter 218
If they could, these people would be extremely terrifying, they would become everyone’s absolute nightmare.
With the Demon Race starting a war, the outside world would be cast into chaos, protecting oneself would become even harder, since he had ruined their plan to strangle the human geniuses in the cradle, the Demon Race would not let him off either.
Adam sighed, surrounded by formidable enemies, it was truly getting harder to survive in this world.
He took the Spirit Communicator out of his robes. Ever since arriving here, he had lost connection with Cecilia’s device, he did not know how that girl was doing, he just hoped she would not think he was dead and cry too brokenheartedly.
He stood up from the meditation cushion and stretched lazily, it was time to find a way out.
Adam stepped out of his room, the two guards stationed outside immediately called out.
"Vice Chief!"
"Vice Chief!"
Adam’s mouth twitched, his face filled with helplessness, because of the Yellow Emperor’s Sword, Dael insisted on passing the position of Chief to him.
He certainly was not going to accept that, he kept declining, but Dael was exceptionally firm, insisting Adam was the Chosen One selected by their Ancestor, left with no choice, he could only temporarily accept the position of Vice Chief.
The other tribe members harbored no dissatisfaction either.
On the contrary, they respected him immensely, treating him as if he were not an outsider at all, truly honest and simple folks.
Adam sought out Dael, telling him he was heading out to find a way to leave, and asked for two locals familiar with the area to guide him.
Dael was overjoyed and immediately assigned an entire escort squad.
Adam quickly waved them off, two people were enough, if cultivation was truly impossible here, then he was basically invincible in this realm.
If they encountered some powerful monster, a large group would just need his protection, completely unnecessary.
Dael understood, in the end, he had Sevan and one other person accompany Adam as they left the tribe.
Upon departure, almost the entire tribe watched with eyes full of deep anticipation.
Adam’s mouth twitched, these people were truly suffocating here.
Actually, the outside world is not that great, having a small, peaceful world like this is quite nice, war was about to engulf everything, finding peace out there would be incredibly difficult.
When he mentioned this, the tribe members completely brushed it off.
They had been stuck here for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years, every generation’s singular wish was to leave.
To see the outside world, to gaze upon the lands their Ancestor had once ruled, seeing this, Adam could not bring himself to say more.
He glanced back and noticed the four children from that day standing on the gate tower, waving with wide eyes.
"Big brother, do your best!"
"What big brother? Call him Vice Chief!"
"Oh, Vice Chief, do your best! I want to see the outside world, I heard it’s super, super big!"
"Vice Chief, after we get out, can you take us to see it?"
No sooner had the kids finished shouting than the Chief pulled them down from the side. "How did you get up here? Don’t you know children aren’t allowed on the gate tower by themselves? Go chop firewood!"
"Ahhh, noooo!" Accompanied by miserable wails, the little ones were dragged off to chop wood again.
Watching this, the corners of Adam’s mouth curled up slightly, he thought he understood why Dael and the others were so desperate to leave, it was for these children.
Their ancestors had created such a beautiful world, yet they were doomed to stay trapped forever, living the exact same life for all eternity.
Perhaps leaving meant gaining access to a vaster sky where they could freely soar.
Although the Spirit Forsaken Land was a small world, it was not particularly large, its total area was roughly the size of a single region in the Silver Willow Dynasty, it had rivers but no seas.
The rivers all emptied into a central lake, any further out was the world barrier, unbreakable by anyone lacking the power of a Saint.
He initially suspected that beneath the lakes or at the rivers’ sources might lay the exit.
After all, a closed water vapor cycle seemed a bit insufficient.
But after investigating, he found that it truly was just two lakes circulating within this realm, providing water for the entire world! Adam sighed, it seemed that basic science from his past life didn’t apply in this world!
Subsequently, Adam asked the Yellow Emperor’s Sword for the location of the Deity Reincarnation Pool, since Senior Yellow Emperor had used supreme divine abilities to connect the two worlds there, traces must have been left behind.
The reality matched his expectations.
The pool was located deep underground in the center of this world, faint traces of an formation still lingered, however, it was completely unusable, and the pool had dried up, leaving nothing but a parched, massive crater.
When Sevan and his companion saw this, their eyes filled with wonder, they had never imagined such a vast underground space existed beneath their world, lacking spiritual energy, they could not exactly burrow into the earth, so it was not surprising.
Adam examined his surroundings, this space was clearly artificially carved out.
The Yellow Emperor’s Sword told him that the Yellow Emperor had initially discovered golden water on the surface, realizing it contained profound power, he traced it to its origin, discovering the source of the golden spring here.
Finally, he hollowed out this underground space.
"Vice Chief, can we get out from here?" Sevan asked with high hopes.
"I’m not sure." Adam shook his head.
He searched every corner of the chamber, aside from residual array patterns, there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
The Deity Reincarnation Pool was the same, completely devoid of any mystical properties.
Over the next week, Adam practically turned the Spirit Forsaken Land upside down.
