Chapter 877 - 706: City of Past Life Obsession
A thought rose in Qin An’s mind, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
Could this really be the Land of Emptiness, and not a city in development?
Before him was not a wasteland, but an entirely different scene.
In the sky hung a Red Moon, and beneath this Red Moon lay a vast array of houses and various buildings.
There was none of the filth and horror Qin An had imagined; instead, under the illumination of the Red Moon, everything appeared so calm, as if this was the way a human city should look.
Qin An tightly furrowed his brows.
He still remembered what Emperor Xuanwu had told him; Emperor Xuanwu had once said that this place was extremely dangerous, and even he, in the Celestial Human Realm, would still find the area filled with danger.
Let alone the cultivators below the Heavenly Human Realm, for them, this place was rampant with crises.
However, the scene in front of him didn’t appear to have any danger at all; on the contrary, it seemed very normal.
After a brief moment of thought, Qin An did not dare to relax his vigilance and then slowly walked towards the city.
The more dangerous a place is, the calmer it tends to be.
Sometimes, undercurrents often hide beneath a calm sea surface, invisible to ordinary people.
Therefore, Qin An knew that this place was certainly not as simple as it appeared to the naked eye.
With this thought in mind, Qin An slowly stepped inside.
And as Qin An gradually approached the city, the city’s outline became clearer, and he finally saw the large plaque above the city.
—City of Past Life Obsession.
The five large characters surfaced on the plaque, representing the city’s name.
Below the city walls stood two squads of soldiers armed with weapons.
If you looked carefully, you would find that these soldiers were not human.
Each one was a Pseudo-God, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura and possessing immensely powerful strength.
And these were merely the soldiers guarding the gate, just the tip of the iceberg of the city.
Qin An thought for a moment and then lifted his foot to walk towards the city gate.
Upon arriving here, he didn’t know how to seek the whereabouts of the supreme heritage.
But he knew one thing, that since something abnormal had appeared, he would follow this anomaly to see if he could find anything that would give him clues.
Soon, Qin An had arrived in front of the city gate.
And as Qin An reached the city gate, the soldiers guarding both sides of the gate collectively turned their heads, eyeing Qin An with a look of confusion.
The soldier on the left had an even deeper confusion in his eyes, but he didn’t show any hostility. Instead, he stepped forward slowly, holding his weapon in the middle.
"Outsider, what is your purpose in coming to the City of Past Life Obsession?"
His words carried a tone of questioning.
However, aside from that questioning tone, there was surprisingly no trace of killing intent or hostility.
This puzzled Qin An.
Qin An thought for a moment and directly asked, "Do you know what you are doing? Or do you know who you really are?"
Logically speaking, the remnants of the former dynasty here had been suppressed by the Dragon Vein for countless ages. They were most likely already transformed into Pseudo-Gods.
But looking at the current situation, these remnants of the former dynasty had indeed turned into Pseudo-Gods, yet why do they lack any killing aura?
After all, he was from the Daqian Kingdom, and the former dynasty had been destroyed by the Daqian Kingdom. Knowing him as an outsider, they should have killed him instantly.
With these doubts, Qin An had no intention of hiding anything and spoke out straightforwardly.
As soon as Qin An finished speaking, the soldier who initially asked the question showed a look of realization on his face.
The moment Qin An saw this expression, his confusion grew even deeper.
He kept thinking that this so-called City of Past Life Obsession might have turned all the remnants of the former dynasty into Pseudo-Gods.
But why were they so peaceful?
Qin An knew that perhaps he would soon get the answer.
As Qin An was thinking this, the soldier continued speaking.
"You must be from the Daqian Kingdom. Perhaps you think we would harbor endless killing intent towards you and would rush to kill you the moment we saw you."
"Such slaughter driven by hatred is indeed terrifying, but over the years, after we became Pseudo-Gods, it seems like we’ve come to terms with everything."
"Outsider, what exactly do you want here? Or do you just want to take a tour around? Please enter, we have no intention of stopping you. After all, we haven’t seen any outsiders for a long time."
Saying this, the soldier actually waved to the Pseudo-Gods beside him, seeming genuinely uninterested in blocking the path, and they all moved aside to make way.
Seeing this, Qin An’s brows furrowed even more as he looked towards the city gate.
The city gate was open, and inside was a deep corridor and a hazy view of the city’s interior.
He hadn’t expected that without any battle occurring on his arrival, he would be allowed to enter directly.
But after pondering for a moment, Qin An decided to step inside.
The reason was simple; since he was already here and now being allowed entry, he might as well go in and see what happens.
As Qin An thought about this, those soldiers seemed to lose interest in speaking with him, closing their mouths and maintaining their original stance at the city gate.
Qin An didn’t think further and stepped inside.
The closer he got to the city, the stronger the Pseudo-Gods’ power became.
Qin An felt a chilling sensation that struck fear into the hearts of the living.
