185: Chapter 185 A Shocking Secret! The Hunting Grounds Are Actually My Hometown?

Su Changge felt a stir in his heart.

A shocking secret?

About the heaven-reaching altar?

This was exactly what he was most concerned about.

He nodded calmly, maintaining his aloof Master persona.

Seeing this, the Old Priest had a look of "as expected" in his eyes, not surprised by Su Changge's calmness.

He turned around to lead the way, bringing Su Changge to the largest and most mysterious tent in the center of the tribe, built entirely from giant beast bones.

That was the residence of the Old Priest and also the Forbidden Ground of the entire tribe.

Lifting the thick beast-hide curtain, a peculiar smell mixed with herbs, dust, and a faint scent of blood rushed towards them.

The light inside the bone tent was very dim.

The walls of the tent were hung with various strange beast hides, dried specimens, and strings of ornaments made from the bones of unknown creatures.

In the center of the tent, there was a brazier polished from the skull of some creature.

The Old Priest stepped forward, gestured with his finger, and a cluster of dark red flames ignited out of thin air in the brazier.

The dim, yellow firelight illuminated his face, which was hidden under a hood and covered in deep ravines.

His eyes, under the flickering firelight, appeared somewhat unfocused and somewhat insane.

"King, please sit."

The Old Priest pointed to the ground covered with beast hide next to the brazier.

Su Changge sat down as instructed, looking at him with a calm gaze, waiting for him to continue.

He knew that what followed was likely the core of this Transmigration event.

The Old Priest also sat cross-legged. He stared at the flickering flames in the brazier, silent for a long time, organizing his words.

After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and low.

"King, you must be very curious about why we went to such great lengths to build that heaven-reaching altar, right?"

Su Changge did not speak, only nodded slightly.

This was exactly what he wanted.

He was currently playing the role of an all-knowing "Son of Prophecy," so he naturally couldn't appear too curious.

A nod was enough.

The Old Priest was very satisfied with Su Changge's reaction; a fanatical smile appeared on his withered face.

"Hehe... The world thinks that our Bloodline Clan was abandoned by the True God and exiled to this barren Blood Prison Realm."

"They are wrong, dead wrong!"

There was a flash of madness in the Old Priest's eyes.

"This Blood Prison Realm is not a cage, but our race's arsenal, our race's cradle!"

"And that heaven-reaching altar is our race's biggest trump card, the greatest Divine Artifact bestowed upon us by the True God!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with excitement and pride.

"It has only one purpose!"

Su Changge's heart tightened.

The Old Priest enunciated clearly, saying the answer that made Su Changge's heart sink.

"That is, to locate and open the path to other worlds—"

"An Erosion Passage!"

An Erosion Passage?

Su Changge's pupils contracted imperceptibly.

Just hearing the name was full of aggression and ominous implications.

These people were certainly not benevolent!

The Old Priest did not notice Su Changge's subtle change; he was completely immersed in his own narration.

"Our Bloodline Clan is the most noble combat race! Our destiny was meant to be conquering one world after another, turning all powerful creatures into food for our evolution!"

"But this Blood Prison Realm has too little energy and too few resources. It can only support our survival, but it cannot make us stronger."

"Therefore, generations of High Priests and leaders have been striving for a common goal."

"That is, to accumulate enough energy to open a heaven-reaching sacrifice, locate a 'fat' enough world, and then... descend!"

The Old Priest stretched out his withered hand and grabbed at the air, as if trying to clutch a certain world in his palm.

His face showed an expression of extreme longing and greed.

"Accumulation of several generations, thousands of years of waiting... finally, not long ago, we succeeded!"

"We located a coordinate!"

"A perfect coordinate!"

Su Changge's heart sank inexplicably; a very bad premonition enveloped his heart.

He had a premonition that what he would hear next would be a fact he could not accept no matter what.

The Old Priest's voice, filled with extreme fanaticism and longing, echoed in the dim bone tent.

"That world is simply the perfect hunting ground bestowed upon us by the True God!"

"Through the induction of the altar, we can vaguely feel that the heaven and earth there are filled with energy so thick it could not be contained!"

"The mountains and rivers there all contain Treasure Troves! The creatures there have powerful strength flowing in their flesh and blood!"

"As long as we can open the passage to that world, our race will usher in an unprecedented evolution in a very short time!"

"We will become incomparably powerful! We will no longer be trapped in this barren place!"

The Old Priest stood up excitedly, opening his arms as if embracing a glorious future.

Su Changge's heart had already sunk to the bottom.

He had almost guessed the name of that world.

But he still couldn't help but ask the first question since his Transmigration, in a calm tone without any emotion.

"What is... that world called?"

The Old Priest looked at Su Changge fanatically, his eyes full of expectation.

"King, you will know soon!"

"That world will be the first cornerstone for you to lead us on the path of conquest!"

"Its name is—"

The Old Priest took a deep breath and, in a tone that was both incomparably sacred and incomparably greedy, spat out the name that made Su Changge's blood freeze.

"Cangxuan Dao Domain!"
