Unusual Events

“It’s better for us to be cautious,” Feng Qing Yang said solemnly.

Unsurprisingly, the disappearance of the entrance raised discussions everywhere. In the past, Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian speculated that heaven was using the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to prepare them to face powerful enemies. For that reason, they had been preparing to face invaders that might come through the nine entrances. It was also for this reason that they were blindsided when one of the entrances disappeared.

While they were discussing this matter, Xiao Mu Bai’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

Zhang Shan, who was the first to notice the change in Xiao Mu Bai’s expression, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian, and Xue Qing Zhu shifted their eyes to Xiao Mu Bai in unison. Based on their understanding of Xiao Mu Bai, they knew he was not one to easily lose his composure.

“What happened?” Duan Ling Tian asked, “Have the invaders appeared after the disappearance of the entrance?”

Xiao Mu Bai took a deep breath, but his voice still trembled slightly as he said, “The other eight entrances have also disappeared. At least, the ones in our God Defying World have completely disappeared. I still haven’t received news from the other Worlds…”

When the first entrance disappeared, Xiao Mu Bai had personally gone over to confirm it. After that, he had instructed people to keep an eye on the remaining eight entrances. Just a moment ago, those people had reached out to his doppelganger, informing him that the eight entrances had also disappeared.

“What?!” Feng Qing Yang’s expression changed dramatically as he asked, “The remaining eight entrances have disappeared as well?!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed as he fell deep into his thoughts.

Xue Qing Zhu was shocked as well. Although she was not a native of the Defying World, she was naturally privy to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang’s speculation. She also believed in their speculation. She could not figure out why the nine entrances suddenly disappeared. She speculated out loud, “Could it be that heaven had already dealt with the threat? Perhaps that’s why the nine entrances disappeared?”

“Impossible,” Feng Qing Yang said, shaking his head, “If heaven were capable of doing so, the nine entrances wouldn’t have existed for so many years. Not only that, but it wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to create the Heaven Traversing Pagoda…”

“This is definitely not as simple as it seems. I also feel that something’s not right,” Duan Ling Tian said, agreeing with Feng Qing Yang, “However, we can only observe the situation for now…”

“First, let’s confirm if the eight entrances in the other places have also vanished…”

Xiao Mu Bai and Zhang Shan left to confirm the matter and returned quickly.

“The eight entrances have also disappeared everywhere. The time of disappearance is almost identical to the time ours disappeared. However, there’s no movement after the disappearances of the eight entrances; there’s no sign of invaders,” Xiao Mu Bai said.

As soon as Xiao Mu Bai’s voice fell, clouds suddenly converged in the sky as purple lightning flashed brightly. This had become a familiar phenomenon in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary; this was the phenomenon that heralded the heavenly text.

‘From today onward, there’ll be a new entrance with green lightning bolts to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. Those in and above the realm of advanced Supreme Gods can enter this entrance. Those who overcome the challenges there will be rewarded.’

‘The realm behind this entrance is called the Trial Space. The rewards inside include, but are not limited to, the Heavenly Talismans and insights into the ninth stage of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.’

Unsurprisingly, the heavenly text stirred up a huge commotion in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary.

Duan Ling Tian and the others exchanged a look after reading the heavenly text.

“It feels like heaven is trying to get more people to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda,” Xue Qing Zhu said. Considering the timing of the heavenly text and the disappearance of the nine entrances, she could tell that something was wrong. Her feelings only grew stronger when she read the next heavenly text.

‘The Trial Space will only be open for a month. Those who failed to enter during this time will have to wait for another thousand years for this opportunity to come again.’

The expressions of Duan Ling Tian and the others changed upon reading this. This was unprecedented. Even advanced Supreme Gods could enter the Trial Space.

“Advanced Supreme Gods and ordinary supreme powerhouses must be going crazy now,” Zhang Shan said.

“This doesn’t seem right. I’ll go to the entrance in the Jade Emperor Heaven and stop people from going in for now. Let’s wait for about twenty days so we can observe the situation.”

As a Lord of the God Defying World, it was Xiao Mu Bai’s duty to look after the safety of the inhabitants of the God Defying World. Although he did not think heaven was trying to harm them, he could not help but feel vigilant after the recent events.

“I’ll return to the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities to stop everyone from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda as well,” Xue Qing Zhu said anxiously. After all, there were many people she cared about in the Outer Boundary. She naturally did not want any of them to be in danger.

“I’ll go with you,” Feng Qing Yang said before leaving with Xue Qing Zhu.

Meanwhile, Duan Nian Tian, who was in Duan Ling Tian’s Little World, quickly expressed his desire to enter the Trial Space.

“Father, I saw the heavenly text! I want to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda,” Duan Nian Tian said. A few years ago, he had become an advanced Supreme God.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked inward and noticed a group of advanced Supreme Gods was regretting their decision to stay in the Divine Offering Land, which would remain sealed for a thousand years. Naturally, after seeing the heavenly text, they could only sigh helplessly and wait for the Trial Space to open again.
