Long Chen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the man in white.
The man in white spoke, "On this ship, there are countless opportunities, but also countless dangers."
Now the ghost ship is trapped inside the dragon's nest, temporarily losing its course and continuing to assault back and forth. Once it shatters the dragon nest, it will find its own route. The Star Domain Divine Realm is only a brief journey for it.
So before shattering the dragon's nest, we must reach the stern before disembarking; otherwise, we will be taken away by the ghost ship and taken into an unknown world.
When the world's barriers strengthen, the protective barriers on the ghost ship will also grow stronger, making it impossible to break through again. People will be trapped here, dying of old age through endless years. Long
Chen's expression changed instantly. Mo Nian and the others didn't know about this. If they delayed too much, they might never come back.
"You don't need to worry. The roads they took were all ordinary roads. When the dragon's nest collapsed, even if they didn't reach the stern, they would have seen the stern.
The reason I kept you is to tell you that there are two very special places on this ship. I don't know if you want to go. The man in white looked at Long Chen and said.
"Is it dangerous?" Long Chen asked.
The man in white nodded, "One place was instructed by Emperor Yun Shang to visit, and another was instructed by Emperor Yun Shang to never go." Long
Chen's heart pounded wildly: "Who are you...?"
The white-robed man's face had been shrouded in divine light, making it impossible to see his true face. Suddenly, the divine light vanished, revealing his true face.
"You..." Long Chen was startled. This person was clearly the Cloud Shang Emperor, but their gazes were somewhat different.
"I am Yun Tian, son of Emperor Yun Shang. Greetings, Brother Long." The man in white smiled faintly and cupped his fists toward Long Chen. His dignified demeanor was exactly like Emperor Yun Shang.
"Greetings, Brother Yun. I never expected Emperor Yun Shang to have a descendant left in the mortal world. This is truly tremendous news for the Tianwu Continent." Long Chen said happily.
Although Long Chen had suspected that this person was a descendant of Emperor Yun Shang, he never expected that he was actually the emperor's son.
Their appearance, temperament, even the noble aura they exuded in every gesture were so similar that Long Chen had no doubt about Yun Tian's identity.
"Brother Long, have you greeted Emperor Yun Shang?" Yun Tian asked. Strangely, he called Emperor Yun Shang by name but did not address him as 'father.'
Long Chen nodded, holding nothing back, and briefly recounted how he had encountered Emperor Yun Shang on the Spirit Realm battlefield.
"I see." Yuntian suddenly understood.
Seeing Long Chen's puzzled expression, Yun Tian smiled and said, "Now I finally understand why the things left to me by Emperor Yunshang were taken by you."
Back then, Emperor Yunshang left both the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and the Evil Dragon Essence to you, but you only obtained the Dragon Bone Evil Moon. The evil dragon essence was taken by someone else, and all karmic consequences were completely changed, no longer under Emperor Yunshang's control.
However, the essence blood inside the Dragon King Blood Essence Stone is already enough to awaken the emperor blood dormant within me, so Brother Long, you have no need to feel guilty at all.
If you hadn't appeared, I would have followed Emperor Yunshang's instructions and chosen the path he left for me. But now that you've appeared, I feel the emperor's calculations have become flawed. If I continue to follow his instructions, the errors will only get bigger."
So let me discuss with you how we should take these two paths, because both are equally extremely dangerous, especially the other one. Brother Long, what are your thoughts?" Long
Chen said, "You should take the path chosen by the Great Emperor, and since I'm someone outside the plan, it's more appropriate for me to take this path." Long
Chen knew that Emperor Yunshang had warned Yun Tian not to take another path, as it meant the other path was even more dangerous.
But according to Long Chen's experience, the more dangerous the path, the greater the chance of greater opportunities—risk and chance coexist.
Yun Tian pondered for a moment and said, "You first obtained the Dragon King Blood Essence Stone. The cause and effect have already changed, and perhaps fate has already turned in your favor. You should follow the path guided by Emperor Yun Shang." For
a moment, Yun Tian was also at a loss. The Great Emperor's calculation had been off. If they made another wrong choice, it would be a disaster.
"That's simple. I have a copper coin here. I'll toss it. The front represents me, the reverse represents you. The path guided by the Emperor Zou Yunshang faces upward, and let heaven decide." Long Chen said with a smile.
"That's a good idea." Yun Tian's eyes lit up.
Long Chen smiled slightly, took out a copper coin, and casually tossed it into the air. The coin rolled and landed on the ground, bouncing several times in a row, then lay quietly there.
"Just as I thought."
Long Chen was well prepared. Bad luck had always been steady and strong, never deceiving him in the slightest. Truly, he was always back-up.
"Heaven told me to choose another path." Long Chen said with a smile.
After confirming Long Chen hadn't cheated, Yun Tian nodded and said seriously, "Alright, since that's the case, you go left, I'll go right. We all have to do our best to survive." After
saying that, Yun Tian walked to the right, took a step forward, and disappeared completely.
Everyone moves forward; no one knows whether to go left or right will lead to two completely different paths.
"We all have to strive to survive. I'm afraid the path pointed by Emperor Yun Shang isn't exactly good." Long Chen muttered to himself, then stepped forward as well.
The space before Long Chen's eyes suddenly changed. The ship was still the same ship, the layout was the same, but the scene was different.
"Kill!"
A piercing roar rang out, and a piercing sword aura slashed down at Long Chen. Long Chen hurriedly dodged, only to find that the sword was still aimed at him.
"Whoosh!"
The sword energy pierced through his body, but it caused no harm. Long Chen felt as if he were in an illusory world—he didn't belong here, but could see everything here.
"Pfft!"
The sword energy missed Long Chen's strike, but instead struck a powerful figure behind him. The expert was instantly shattered, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Long Chen seemed to smell the stench of blood in the air, and even felt hot blood dripping onto his body.
Only then did Long Chen realize he was on a battlefield, with two groups on the ghost ship locked in a frenzied battle.
The crew members he saw at first were all gone, leaving only two groups of strong fighters fighting fiercely. Long Chen stood there, watching them with red eyes, wielding sharp blades to strike, occasionally killing people.
Long Chen stood there quietly watching. The fighting style of these people was completely different from those on the Tianwu Continent. It looked like a group of people who couldn't cultivate but casually struck with terrifying power. Long Chen couldn't discern where their power came from.
"Puff puff puff...
They fought wildly and chaoticly, with both groups charging toward a place where a tall tower in the middle of the ghost ship was located.
The tower stood between two massive masts, looking extremely abrupt and prominentIt doesn't fit architectural principles, but it stands there without any sense of incongruity.
Long Chen stood amidst the chaotic battlefield, watching for a while and finally catching up on a clue. He shook his head, realizing time was precious. If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't read and kept moving forward.
When he stepped forward again, those people had vanished, but the battlefield remained, only this time with a different group, and Long Chen noticed that the surrounding space had also changed.
Just now, the ghost ship was sailing through spatial turbulence, surrounded by darkness. Now, with stars and a bright moon hanging high, the ghost ship gliding through the vast starry sky, the scene was so peaceful and serene.
But on the ghost ship, there was a chorus of wailing and screams. Long Chen once again saw those crew members dressed in ancient attire, but these crew members were being brutally slaughtered by a group of people.
It was like a cargo ship being plundered by a group of bandits, who were vicious and ruthless, killing anyone they saw without a trace of mercy.
Soon, the crew was wiped out. Those bandit-like men laughed heartily and charged madly toward the tower. Then the whole world fell completely silent. Once the bandits entered the tower, they became completely silent—not a single person came out.
Long Chen stepped forward again, but the previous scene vanished, replaced by a bloody battle.
This time, not only humans appeared, but also aliens with human heads and beast bodies, even demonic monsters with dark aura. All kinds of races were fighting fiercely, their target being that tower.
"It seems my target is that tower. Strangely, I just boarded the ghost ship and didn't see this tower."
Long Chen looked at the mysterious tower, his heart filled with unease. His premonition told him he was gradually approaching an extremely dangerous area.
Long Chen kept moving forward, and with every step, the scene changed. The deck of the ghost ship grew redder and redder, having absorbed too much blood, and the aura they emitted grew increasingly fierce.
At first, upon entering the ghost ship, the entire aura was quite peaceful. But as Long Chen moved forward, the atmosphere grew increasingly strange and violent. He felt as if he was heading toward the gates of hell, even more terrifying than the aura inside hell.
At some point, Long Chen noticed countless goosebumps on his neck, and even his nerves were tense.
"What a damn place. I think I'm pretty bold, so why am I getting more and more creepy?" Long Chen couldn't help but swallow hard; there was something ahead that made him feel afraid.
"Damn it, let's see what this is."
Long Chen gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and mustered his courage to keep moving forward. With every step, all he saw was a storm of blood and chaos.
All sorts of unfamiliar races appeared. They were bizarre and evil, with endless attack methods. Many spells Long Chen had never seen before, but their power was truly shocking.
As Long Chen pressed forward, the blood energy in the air grew denser and tighter, the space tighter, and the chill invaded his skin, paining like needles.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Long Chen flashed with a flash of cold light, and blood slowly flowed down his forehead.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen held the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in his hand and slashed down at the living beings ahead.
