Fortunately for Lu Li, he did not see anyone working for Yan Tiangang. This was not the Black Dragon Mansion. If it were, Lu Li would have been murdered as soon as he ascended.
He decided not to reveal his identity for a while. He would not use his real name or swagger his way. He must get a clear handle of the situation and gain a firm foothold in the Divinity.
After that pretty young man was killed, the others behaved. None dared to say another word. Someone was even afraid to look at the three warriors in blue armors, afraid that they would lose their lives for nothing when they provoked the three warriors.
The Divinity was not the fictitious land of peace they had imagined. The blue-armored warriors taught them a lesson as soon as they arrived. They were taught about the rules here, the cruelness and the violence!
It was incredibly hard for a mortal being to become an immortal.
How many among the trillions of people in the Heaven Reverse Universe could become a Semi-God Realm warrior, not to mention immortals? The Heaven Reverse Universe had been in existence for millions of years and only the Emperor of Heaven Reverse and Lu Li became immortals.
The nine universes housed such rich resources and an empowering environment. Even so, it was hard for a warrior here to become an immortal. For tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years, there could only be one warrior becoming an immortal. The hardship of becoming an immortal could be imagined.
That pretty young man had finally become an immortal. Just because he laughed and he did not understand the language and he tried to fly, he was killed on the spot by the local warriors without being given the chance to correct his actions!
Though that pretty young man did something wrong, those local prefecture warriors were too heartless. He did not attack the warriors and he did not deliberately break the law…
“Low profile. Low profile!”
Lu Li warned himself. He had to be careful in the Divinity as if treading on thin ice. He must be humble when he was blind to the situation. He was not scared. He just did not want to die a meaningless death.
“Buzzing~”
There were more people coming. Half a day later, Lu Li found over seventy people had come. It was growing darker. A blood moon was rising in the west sky.
It was really a moon of blood, emitting a wicked ray of red light, casting a red hue over the entire land and the ocean. Considering the ancient breath in the Divinity, people would have a strange feeling here.
“The Divinity~”
Gazing into the ocean in the distance, Lu Li was filled with mixed feelings. The Divinity had had a long history. So many people strived to ascend to the Divinity where they fought, they struggled, rose up and… die!
“Buzzing!”
While Lu Li was contemplating, he heard a gentle noise from the distance. The crowd looked toward the source of the noise, astonished.
In the sky to the north, a beast with a length of over three miles flew over quietly. That huge beast seemed to be made of metal. It was blue in color and under the blood moon, a red hue bounced off from the beast. Between the blue and red, the beast was like a representation of evil, and it was breathtaking.
The beast did not appear to be ferocious. Nobody here felt any presence of danger. The three blue-armored warriors did not take any actions, which surprised the new immortals.
The blue beast was coming closer. The crowds were becoming nervous. One of the blue-armored warriors said, “Do not move. This is the Beast of the Void from the Vicissitude House. It will not attack. It is here to pick you up.”
The blue-armored warrior’s words relieved the others. Still, they were cautious. After all, the beast was huge, and it was soundless when flying. What if it swallowed everyone upon arriving?
The Beast of the Void stopped a few miles away. The beast suddenly opened its mouth. Quite shockingly—there came out over a dozen people. All of them were blue-armored warriors.
The blue-armored warriors flew over and stopped above the crowds. One of them, a brown-haired old man glanced through the crowd and said, “I am Escort Bu Qianye from the Vicissitude House. Go to the Beast of the Void and I will take you to the Vicissitude House. Of course… if anyone wants to explore the Divinity by yourself, you don’t have to leave with us. There are many wild beasts outside the cities in the Divinity. Just a reminder, even the weakest wild beasts can tear you apart. That is all I have to say. The choice is yours.”
The new immortals looked at each other. None dared to take the risk, Lu Li in particular. Just now, they had witnessed the strength of the wild beast in the ocean. That pretty young man was eaten up by the wild beast and he didn’t even have the chance to fight back.
Over a dozen people started to walk toward the beast. Lu Li did so as well. More stood up and walked over after a moment of hesitation.
“The space here is stable. There is some strange energy. Flying here should be difficult.”
Lu Li noticed after he started walking. He tried to lift himself up from the ground, only to realize that he was enveloped by some strange energy. He felt he was pressed down by a mountain. What was peculiar was that he would not sense such energy if he was walking on the ground.
The others realized this as well, but they were afraid to ask. The crowd walked in silence. The over 10 blue-armored warriors followed them in the sky slowly. All of them had frosty appearances like they were cold-blooded animals.
They have reached the Beast of the Void and stopped. Lu Li looked at the beast in the sky with curiosity. He wondered how they would get in later. Would they be digested by the beast once they were inside?
“Do not try to fight back!”
Bu Qianye from the Vicissitude House said coldly. Then, the beast released a blue ray of light. Next, from the beast’s abdomen opened a door. A beam of light came out and shone on the crowd.
“Well…”
Lu Li was just as shocked as others. Under the effect of the blue light, they were hovering above the ground. They felt a force pulling them toward the open door.
Someone worried that this was a trap and tried to wiggle to be free from that pulling force. Bu Qianye threw a cold glance and said, “If you keep on resisting, go off and explore the Divinity by yourself.”
Lu Li did not resist because he did not feel any danger. The Beast of the Void did not exude any power. The beast was more like an iron ship. Lu Li was not worried that Bu Qianye wanted to kill the group because Bu Qianye didn’t have to do so. The three blue-armored warriors at the Ascending Cliff could have ended the crowd.
“Buzzing!”
Being pulled into the door, Lu Li felt a flash of white glare. He was inside a hall all of a sudden. It was a spacious hall, empty. There were some people in here, about a thousand of them. They were of varied races. Clearly, they were immortals that had just ascended.
“Buzzing!”
A door in the hall was opened as Bu Qianye and a dozen warriors walked into the hall. Bu Qianye cast a look. Someone that was talking quieted down.
“We have picked all of them up. We are going to leave for the Mountain of Vicissitude.”
Bu Qianye said with indifference, “Welcome to the Divinity. As new immortals, you have three options. One, you explore the Divinity on your own and you will have to be responsible for your own lives. Two, serve at the Mountain of Vicissitude for a year. You can earn some Divine Sources as well as the right to become a citizen of Vicissitude House. You can go in and out from cities belonged to the Vicissitude House at will and you will have the right to buy houses at the major cities to become permanent residents. Third, you can join the Vicissitude House but only as servants of the lowest level. When your abilities reach a certain stage, you can officially become one of us. It will take us half a month to reach the Mountain of Vicissitudes. Take that time and think.”
