323: My fellow villager is a bit cheeky~

“So, let’s just stay here obediently. We can talk about it if things get really bad.”

Bai Jun waved his hand. He absolutely could not cause any more trouble for Big Brother Chen.

“Alright…”

Luo Shuo sighed, leaned against the wall, and looked up at the sky, speechless… Meanwhile, Chen Heng stood before a closed door, looking at the questions on it with a speechless expression.

“What comes after hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron?”

“How many colors make up a traffic light?”

“Do you eat your tofu pudding sweet or savory?”

“What’s the next line after ‘Imperial Jade Liquid Wine’?”

“…” Chen Heng was now completely certain that this ghostly place was 99% created by his Fellow Countryman.

Perhaps he was even from the same era as him, just that he had arrived here a ‘little’ earlier.

“Sigh…” Chen Heng sighed. Seeing these familiar characters and questions, an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

“Good thing I just finished my first year of university, otherwise I might have actually forgotten what comes after boron.”

Except for the question about whether tofu pudding is eaten sweet or savory, the other three questions were nothing to Chen Heng.

“But really, if a foreigner came, wouldn’t they be unable to open it…”

Now Chen Heng only had one question left: should tofu pudding be eaten sweet or savory?

“Sigh, I’m a standard savory fan, but I can eat sweet too…”

“But spicy is also good, and sour is quite delicious…”

The more Chen Heng thought, the more conflicted he became, but in the end, he still chose savory tofu pudding.

Buzz!

The questions on the door instantly disappeared, and the white ring in the center lit up with white light.

Then, a snarky voice sounded.

“Hehe, those who eat savory tofu pudding are heretics.”

Then the halo quickly formed a giant middle finger.

“?” Chen Heng’s anger immediately flared up. He grabbed the middle finger and directly pulled the halo off the door.

But after that sentence, the voice never sounded again.

It seemed to have only been there to annoy Chen Heng.

“Damn scoundrel.” Chen Heng spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and angrily walked through the door.

The moment Chen Heng stepped through the door, everything around him lit up.

“This… the art style isn’t quite right, is it?” Chen Heng looked at the various screens and buttons around him, scratched his head, feeling a bit disoriented.

What exactly was going on with this world? What happened before the desolate era?

With these questions, Chen Heng walked to the largest screen in the middle.

After all, the biggest and most conspicuous button was below the screen.

Chen Heng didn’t think much and directly pressed that button.

The screen lit up, and a large, obnoxious face, just as Chen Heng expected, appeared before him.

“Haha, you must have seen the little joke I left for you.”

The man on the screen laughed, but the image was constantly twisting and deforming, appearing somewhat damaged.

“No one else could have come here. It’s impossible for anyone other than someone like you, who is just like me.”

“I don’t know when you came, but if you can see this video, it must be after me.”

“Back in the day, when I first arrived…”

“He really is a Fellow Countryman…” Chen Heng stood in front of the screen, watching the man on the screen endlessly blabbering nonsense.

“Ahem, let’s get back to the main topic. If you can find this place, you must have discovered the clues I left behind.”

“And the Ultimate Return must be about to begin again, right?”

“Clues? Ultimate Return?” Chen Heng was stunned. What was all this about?

“This matter is also my fault. Back then, the Human Race was weak, treated as livestock by the Heavenly Gods, who exploited their Power Of Faith.”

The man’s expression changed from snarky to serious, even looking a bit handsome.

“They were called Heavenly Gods, but in reality, they were just a group of more powerful primitive creatures.”

“You should have already witnessed them, after all, before the Ultimate Return, all the Heavenly Gods I killed will revive.”

“They evolved nearly identical appearances by observing the Human Race, but they still retain many of their unique characteristics.”

“Moreover, they cannot be completely killed; they only lose their power and fall into slumber.”

“Oh right, listen to me, back then, in order to kill these guys…”

As he spoke, the man on the screen once again went off-topic, beginning to recount how he led the ancient Human Race to battle the Heavenly Gods.

This guy bragged for a full ten minutes before finally returning to the main topic.

“I can only tell you that the Ultimate Return cannot be stopped. Anyway, I couldn’t do it.”

The man spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face.

“However, the world-suppressing nail can greatly delay the arrival of the Ultimate Return, but it will come eventually.”

“If you also cannot stop it, then take your loved ones and hide inside the world-suppressing nail.”

“Oh, and the world-suppressing nail is the thing you are standing on right now.”

“Oh dear, back then, to forge the world-suppressing nail, I…”

Well, this guy started his long-winded bragging session again.

Chen Heng frowned. He didn’t mind listening to him brag.

He could get a lot of useful information from his bragging.

It was just that the Fellow Countryman on the screen seemed a bit off, especially his language, which was very chaotic.

He jumped from one topic to another, sometimes with no connection between sentences.

“Ahem, sorry, got a little excited.” The man coughed lightly, saying with some embarrassment.

“But please don’t blame me. My time is running out, and my thoughts are starting to become muddled.”

“The Ultimate Return is a natural law of this world. All Souls in the world will eventually return to the source.”

“I tried to destroy the source to prevent the Ultimate Return from happening, but I only managed to obtain some source fragments.”

“If… you… go… to the source, then look for the First Divine Tomb Research Center. I put the entrance to the Yin Side of the World there.”

“Also, most of my data is stored in the First Divine Tomb Research Center, which is also a world-suppressing nail.”

The image on the screen began to stutter, as if something had gone wrong during recording.

“Screech!”

The image abruptly stopped, and that snarky big face froze.

“First Divine Tomb Research Center?” Chen Heng rubbed his chin. He had a feeling he had seen these words somewhere before.

“Oh right! It was on the map of the Hundred Corpse Tomb, just don’t know which number it was.”

“It seems going to the Hundred Corpse Tomb is unavoidable.”

Although he didn’t know if what the man said was true, it still put a lot of pressure on Chen Heng.

What exactly happened back then? Chen Heng was now very eager to know.

Also, there was more than one divine corpse, and they could revive?

The amount of information was simply too much at once, and Chen Heng’s mind was a bit muddled.

Buzz~

The screen behind him made a sound again, but the man’s face was covered in blood.

“Holy crap, the revived Heavenly Gods are attacking. I’ll make this quick.”

“I can’t help you much, but I’ve left some good stuff for you in each world-suppressing nail, which should help you when dealing with the source.”

“However, I don’t recommend you take risks. All the world-suppressing nails combined are enough to accommodate thirteen million people.”

“So, getting my help won’t be easy. You’ll need to kill the guardians I left there to prove your ability.”

“Can’t talk anymore, they’re really breaking in.”

The video ended completely here, and the screen turned black again.
