Chapter 183 Leaving Chaos City (Both chapters today are 3,000 words each)
At the summit of Mount Taichu Tongtian, the snake-woman gatekeeper hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Your Highness Chen Yuan, the illusion I cast on you just now doesn't seem to have worked?"
"It's normal that it doesn't work."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and explained, "I've passed through 20 layers of the Illusionary Sea. How could your mere illusionary magic, cast at the cosmic level, possibly shake my will?"
His information about the Illusionary Sea has been blocked by the company's top management. Even those with King-level access cannot find out about it, so these three gatekeepers are naturally unaware of this information.
However, Chen Yuan did not intend to hide anything from them.
After all, these three gatekeepers are all subordinate intelligences created by the virtual universe. Although they have all become intelligent life forms over a long period of time, they still need to rely on the virtual universe for their existence and are absolutely loyal and reliable.
"The 20th floor of the Illusionary Sea?!"
The three gatekeepers exchanged glances, and the snake woman gave a bitter smile: "That's a willpower comparable to the peak of a king, no wonder my illusions were useless."
"Your Highness Chen Yuan is a martial artist, yet you can use illusions to influence the two of us." The golden-haired ape-man asked curiously, "Could it be that Your Highness follows the 'Illusionist Martial Arts' style?"
"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded.
"No wonder they were so powerful," the golden-haired ape exclaimed. "We didn't lose unjustly."
The minotaur wielding the giant axe couldn't help but say, "Once Your Highness's comprehension of the laws advances further, even the Primordial Tongtian Mountain might not be able to stop you."
"I hope so, but my understanding of the laws is still lacking, so I'll stop here for today."
Chen Yuan smiled, prepared to leave, and waved his hand, saying, "See you all another time."
Goodbye, Your Highness Chen Yuan.
The three gatekeepers looked expectant and said in unison, "We'll be waiting for you at the Primal Tongtian Mountain."
After leaving the Tongtian Mountain plane, Chen Yuan received an email from the virtual universe containing information about the rewards he received for conquering Tongtian Mountain.
The reward for conquering the cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain is 300 million points, while the reward for conquering the Primordial Tongtian Mountain is 1000 million points.
Unfortunately, the 1300 million reward points will only be distributed when he becomes the Lord of the Realm.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan wasn't short of points, so he only glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.
He glanced around at his cramped apartment of just over 200 square meters and sighed, "Now I can finally move to the Primordial Secret Realm."
After saying that, Chen Yuan left the residence without any hesitation, preparing to go to his new home in the Taichu District.
However, when he got downstairs, he found several familiar faces gathered in the community garden.
Nolan, Tongshan, Kavina, and Lyle were all companions who had been promoted together from the Ganwu branch to the Apocalyptic Secret Realm. In addition, Taoming, the manager of this "Dusk Garden" community, was also there.
"Chen Yuan is out."
Tao Ming, as the manager, was the first to spot Chen Yuan. As soon as he finished speaking, the group gathered around him.
"Chen Yuan, congratulations on advancing to the Primordial Realm."
"Congratulations, Chief Chen!"
"Chief Chen is too amazing!"
Several people from the Qianwu branch were offering their congratulations all at once, but Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop."
After everyone quieted down, he said helplessly, "You all know about this?"
"Of course," Nolan smiled. "When you passed through 'Mount Tongtian,' it's said that all members of the four secret realms received email notifications from the virtual universe, and they were sent twice in a row."
"Now the whole company probably knows that a genius has emerged from the Doomsday Secret Realm who has conquered two Tongtian Mountains and directly advanced to the Primordial Secret Realm."
"Has it already spread this far?" Chen Yuan sighed; he had wanted to keep a low profile.
Moreover, he remembered that the original story mentioned that if a genius managed to break through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, the news would not be made public.
Unexpectedly, the two Tongtian Mountains, Tiandi and Taichu, are different. Perhaps these two Tongtian Mountains represent a lower level, so the company did not hide them and released the information openly.
"Chen Yuan, you should now address him as His Highness Chen Yuan."
The manager, "Taoming," smiled and said, "I knew from the beginning that you would achieve great things in the future, but I still greatly underestimated your potential."
"I never expected that such a powerful genius like you could emerge from our Doomsday Secret Realm, especially one from our Twilight Court."
Hearing Tao Ming's compliment, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated. There are many hidden talents in the apocalyptic secret realm. There are also precedents in history of geniuses who have broken through Tongtian Mountain."
That's true. The permanent population of the post-apocalyptic secret realm exceeds ten million. There will always be some geniuses who like to hide their talents and then make a name for themselves from Tongtian Mountain.
Of course, these geniuses have only passed through the Heavenly Passage Mountain, and there will only be one every few thousand or even tens of thousands of epochs. Most people still go through the qualification battle channel to advance.
As for those who have crossed the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, not a single one has done so in nearly a million epochs.
So everyone knew that Chen Yuan was being modest, but they could all see that he didn't like being flattered, so they didn't press him too much and simply accompanied him to the edge of the apocalyptic zone.
Then Chen Yuan walked through the public area and into the area belonging to the Primordial District. He walked along a quiet bluestone path and came to the end, where a beautiful and elegant fox-woman was waiting.
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, I have been waiting here for a long time."
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, the fox-man named "Fox" greeted him warmly with a smile, "I am the administrator of the Primordial District. You can call me Fox."
Chen Yuan naturally recognized the character from the original work and nodded, saying, "Mrs. Fox."
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, your estate has been cleaned up. Please follow me."
Mrs. Foss smiled and led the way. "By the way, let me also give you a general overview of the Primordial District."
"This is troublesome." Chen Yuan followed behind Mrs. Fox, listening to her explanation along the way.
Most of the content is exactly the same as that mentioned in the original work, so I won't go into details here.
It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Foss specifically reminded Chen Yuan about the qualifying battle that will be held 80 years later, and said that with his strength, he will definitely be able to advance to the Primal Secret Realm.
Although Chen Yuan was likely to pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain before the qualification battle even began, he did not reveal this information, but instead nodded slightly in gratitude.
Soon, the two arrived at Chen Yuan's new residence—Manor No. 1139 in the Taichu District. This manor number also represents the total number of people in the Taichu Secret Realm at present.
The original 1130 members, plus 8 members who were promoted through the Genius Battle, and finally Chen Yuan who was promoted through the Tongtianshan channel.
After the next qualifying battle, the entire Primordial Region will return to a fixed number of 1130, and the excess geniuses will be swept into the Heavenly Secret Realm.
After introducing the manor's facilities to Chen Yuan, Mrs. Foss took her leave, reminding him before departing, "By the way, Your Highness Chen Yuan, because of your rapid advancement, your World Lord-level guard team is still being formed, and the final selection will be made in three days."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Understood."
Mrs. Fox smiled, then turned and left, wagging her big tail. Shortly after she left, Chen Yuan's manor welcomed its first visitor—Luo Feng.
Inside the meeting room, Luo Feng exclaimed, "I never imagined that the company had such a promotion channel as Tongtian Mountain."
"Yes, I only heard about it by chance and gave it a try. Luckily, I passed."
Chen Yuan smiled modestly: "Otherwise, I would have to go through two more qualifying battles to reach the Primordial Secret Realm."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's use of the word "lucky," Luo Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, then sighed, "Speaking of which, after learning about Tongtian Mountain, I also went to give it a try."
Upon hearing that Luo Feng had still gone to challenge Tongtian Mountain, Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle: "He failed, didn't he?"
"Yes." Luo Feng shook his head: "The Primal Tongtian Mountain is too difficult. I didn't even make it past the foot of the mountain."
"That's normal. You've only passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Mountain. It would be strange if you could make it through."
Chen Yuan explained, "For a cosmic-level being to traverse the Primal Tongtian Mountain, they would need at least the level of the Tongtian Bridge's 12th level, and even I'm not confident about that right now."
"Twelve floors?!" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. "Although my teacher told me that Tongtian Mountain was just a benchmark, it actually needs twelve floors!"
"It takes so many layers to get through, that's way too difficult!"
"After all, it's meant to be a 'benchmark,' so the standards naturally have to be high." Chen Yuan smiled.
The two then chatted for a few more minutes, mainly Luo Feng sharing some precautions for the Primordial Secret Realm.
A moment later, Luo Feng took his leave. Before leaving, he revealed to Chen Yuan the secret of the "Blood Luo Continent," namely the existence of the Blood Luo Crystal.
Although Chen Yuan knew this information, he was still grateful for Luo Feng's reminder.
Because he originally planned to go to the Blood Continent and needed to collect at least a few thousand coins, the 100 coins provided by the company were not enough.
He mainly intended to use these Blood Crystals to prepare for his later creation of 'clones'.
Yes, the company's treasury does contain secret techniques for creating clones, but they are too expensive, starting at hundreds of millions of points, with slightly better ones requiring tens of billions of points. Moreover, they can only be purchased in their entirety, which is far beyond his current means.
But just because he can't afford it now doesn't mean he won't be able to afford it in the future. Anyway, Chen Yuan's authority allows him to exchange Mixed Yuan Units for points.
With his earning power, it's only a matter of time before he earns those billions of points.
After saying goodbye to Luo Feng, Chen Yuan's life returned to normal, and a year passed in the blink of an eye as he immersed himself in cultivation.
A strangely shaped, dark blue spaceship hovered above Chaos City. Following a notification from the virtual universe, Chen Yuan took to the air and left the residence he had lived in for thirty years.
He flew towards the spaceship in the sky, and at the same time, dozens of figures also flew up from all over Chaos City—they were all geniuses who had advanced in the same batch as Chen Yuan.
As everyone entered the spaceship's cabin, Chen Yuan observed that only 67 people were still alive, meaning 32...
Everyone died while hunting the Chaos Beasts.
"Attention all crew members, the spaceship is about to leave the initial universe."
As the spaceship's notification sounded, Chen Yuan officially bid farewell to Chaos City, where he had lived for thirty years, and embarked on a new journey.
