The two of them quietly followed Su Qi, flying towards an unknown place.
After half an hour of flying, the scene before them suddenly changed dramatically.
They saw buildings appearing before their eyes, each emitting a magnificent golden light. On the ground, Divine Generals in golden armor and wielding golden spears were patrolling.
Without exception, these Divine Generals were all in the Nascent Soul Stage.
"What you see is my Jin Shen Empire. The Emperor of the Empire is the noble Jin Shen Your Majesty."
"When you enter the Sacred Hall later, I hope you don't offend His Majesty, or killing you would be a minor matter."
Su Qi was very pleased watching the two astonished people behind him.
After all, the Jin Shen Empire was the first Empire in this world, unique through the ages, a peerless Empire with a Legacy of several million years.
However, he still couldn't help but remind these two outsiders.
His Majesty was the God in their hearts, and could not be offended by these two bumpkins.
Ye Lin and Wu Xin were not astonished by the Empire itself; although it looked vast, compared to the great Empires in Tianhe County, it was not just a little bit lower in class.
What astonished them was that everything in this Jin Shen Empire was transformed from Talismans.
It was one thing for Talismans to transform into cattle and sheep, as those animals had no intelligence.
But before their eyes, all the people they saw were transformed from Talismans, and they were no different from ordinary people.
Such Heaven-Defying methods could not help but be astonishing.
"We've arrived, follow me."
Ahead, a magnificent golden hall appeared. Su Qi stood on the ground, his expression respectful, and slowly walked towards the hall.
Around the hall, rows of golden Divine Generals patrolled. This level of power and guardianship meant not even a fly could enter.
The two of them quietly followed behind Su Qi, slowly entering the hall.
The hall was vast, extremely vast, and very empty, with not a single person inside.
Only on the supreme golden divine throne above sat a figure, who resembled an earthly Emperor, incomparably majestic.
His face was shrouded in golden light, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Your Majesty, they have been brought."
Su Qi knelt on one knee, bowing to the Emperor above, his tone extremely respectful.
"Well done, you may leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, Su Qi stood up and came beside Ye Lin.
"Remember what I said."
With that, Su Qi slowly walked out of the hall.
"Where do you come from?"
After Su Qi left, Jin Shen above spoke again.
"From the outside world."
Ye Lin's eyes flickered as he spoke.
From this figure, he actually felt a trace of pressure.
This person's strength was not low.
"Outside world? Interesting, I already have one hundred and thirty-two people from the outside world here. With the two of you, that makes one hundred and thirty-four."
"There's actually a world outside? Could it be that the outside world is the Immortal Realm?"
Jin Shen suddenly chuckled, his tone somewhat bewildered.
Since his birth and the awakening of his intelligence, he had struggled and fought alone, eventually establishing the Jin Shen Empire and sweeping across the entire world.
In a hundred years, he had led the Jin Shen Empire to rule the entire world.
And his cultivation had stopped at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.
He had been accumulating for several million years, truly several million years. His accumulation in the Nascent Soul Stage grew deeper and deeper, but from beginning to end, he was unable to Breakthrough to a higher Realm.
However, several million years passed.
Now, he suddenly discovered that many strangers had come to his territory. These strangers claimed to be from the outside world.
"Immortal Realm? In your eyes, that would count as the Immortal Realm, I suppose."
Ye Lin tilted his head in thought for a moment, then spoke lightly.
The Law of this world was incomplete, far too different from the Great World.
Therefore, the highest cultivation of the living beings around was the Nascent Soul Stage; it was simply impossible to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm.
Ultimately, it was just a Small World created by a Combined Dao Stage True Lord.
"Immortal Realm? Is that Immortal Realm strong?"
Hearing Ye Lin's acknowledgment, Jin Shen became excited and asked.
Immortal Realm, if he were to enter the Immortal Realm, wouldn't his cultivation be able to advance further?
Ye Lin did not answer, instead looking at Jin Shen above.
Name: Jin Shen
Cultivation: Nascent Soul Peak Stage
Fate: None
Destiny: 【Talisman Body】
Destiny: None
Recent Opportunity: None
【Talisman Body】: Transformed from a Talisman most favored by a Combined Dao Stage True Lord. His life soul is incomplete, and he can only remain in the Nascent Soul Stage in this life.
Looking at Jin Shen's panel, Ye Lin stroked his chin in thought.
The Jin Shen before him actually had no Fate, which was simply outrageous.
However, he also discovered a word: life soul.
He had learned about this word in the Nameless Mountain ancient texts.
Life soul was equivalent to an ID card in this world. Only those acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao of the world could possess a life soul.
Those without a life soul could not comprehend the Dao, were scorned by the Heavenly Dao, and once discovered by the Heavenly Dao, would immediately be struck down by the World-Ending Divine Lightning of the Nine Heavens.
Without a life soul meant no destiny; one was outside the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, equivalent to an Invader, and thus not tolerated by the Dao of this world.
Talismans were Talismans after all. It seemed that while the Combined Dao Stage True Lord's Talisman Dao was astonishing, it was still incomplete.
Just by looking at Jin Shen, Ye Lin knew that all living beings in this world had no life soul.
They could only stay here their entire lives; once they entered the Great World, they would be immediately annihilated by the Heavenly Dao.
However, they would soon die. Once the Small World completely merged into the Great World, the Great World's Heavenly Dao would immediately annihilate them.
For Invaders, the Heavenly Dao had zero tolerance.
If the world was likened to a program, the Heavenly Dao was the administrator, and Invaders were viruses disrupting the entire program. In such situations, administrators would always eliminate the viruses.
"amitabha, Benefactor, the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm, is naturally powerful."
Seeing Ye Lin deep in thought, Wu Xin clasped his hands together and stood in front of Ye Lin, speaking with a smile.
"Hmm? Prime Minister?"
Suddenly, a figure walked out from beside Jin Shen.
Upon seeing this figure, Jin Shen frowned, then stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Star Luo Array has suddenly undergone a massive change. I fear that the long-sealed secret is about to be revealed."
The Prime Minister's expression was solemn as he spoke to Jin Shen.
Jin Shen's heart was startled upon hearing this.
"Go quickly and see."
With that, the two turned and left.
Ye Lin and Wu Xin exchanged glances, then followed behind the two.
Jin Shen, sensing the two behind him, did not pay them much heed.
The four slowly arrived before a massive golden fortress. Jin Shen and the Prime Minister looked at the incredibly complex mechanism on the fortress's main gate, their expressions all solemn.
This golden fortress had existed before their birth.
And it was rumored that this golden fortress sealed the secret of this world, and that by obtaining it, one could achieve Immortal Ascension.
But for several million years, Jin Shen had used countless methods, yet was unable to budge the golden fortress in the slightest, let alone open it by force.
And now, the golden fortress, which had been silent for several million years, suddenly began to operate.
"Someone! Seal off the surroundings! Not even a fly is to be let in by this Emperor!"
Jin Shen's expression turned cold, his voice sharp.
"Yes."
Voices came from the air around them.
