145: Chapter 145 The Rules and Customs of the Upper Realm

Domain of God.

This was the true headquarters of the Chu Family, presided over by ten Immortal Gods and one Main God; it belonged to a top-tier Family.

A Guest Planet is a planet specifically used to host distinguished guests; its overall decoration is incredibly magnificent, which also serves as a way to showcase the grandeur of the host Family.

High in the sky, the spaceship descended slowly.

"What kind of scenery do you like?" Chu Li asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Chen Xing paused.

"You go first."

"Hmm... I don't really have a preference. If I had to say, I hoped to see the seaside when I was a child, but that was a long time ago. Now, is there anywhere I can't go?"

"Alright, then we'll go to the seaside."

"..."

Following Chu Li's instructions, the spaceship landed on the edge of a vast ocean, where nearby seaside villas seemed almost integrated into the environment.

That is the purpose of a Guest Planet; whatever scenery a guest prefers, there is a corresponding location to be found.

If it cannot be found on this planet, one can simply switch to the next one.

Walking on the soft beach and basking in the warm sun, everything seemed to slow down, as if the hormones of youth were erupting.

"It feels just alright," Chen Xing said.

"If you don't like it, we can change it anytime. You are our distinguished guest; you have the final say," Chu Li said with a faint smile.

She paused, narrowed her eyes, and a strange smile curled at the corners of her mouth: "Or is it that you, guy, want to see us sisters in swimsuits?"

Chen Xing shook his head slightly: "That won't be necessary. I'm just here to sit for a while and lie low for now."

Chu Zhen walked over slowly and said, "Thank you for taking care of my sister in the Lower Realm. Is there anything you need help with? You can ask me."

"Sis, when did I ever receive his care?" Chu Li stood with her hands on her hips, looking unconvinced.

"In the Central Training Camp, didn't you often seek him out to hone your Battle Technique and skills?" Chu Zhen glanced at her.

"Uh... that..." Chu Li stammered, unable to retort.

Chen Xing smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I've just arrived, and I don't know the rules here yet. Since you're here, could you tell me about them?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Li immediately nodded: "That's right, we just arrived and don't know anything."

"Very well," Chu Zhen nodded slightly.

Suddenly, a table and chairs appeared nearby, set with fruits unique to the Domain of God, fresh and juicy.

"Please sit," Chu Zhen said.

"Hehe!" Chu Li walked over quickly.

Just as she was about to sit down, Chu Zhen grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up forcefully.

"The guest sits first." With that, Chu Zhen replied with only a few simple words and then casually tossed her sister into the ocean.

"Ha... she and I are acquaintances and comrades-in-arms, so there's no need to be so formal. Being casual is fine," Chen Xing said, sweating.

He had heard Chu Li complain before that her sister had a terrible temper; although she didn't like to scold people, her ability to use physical force was top-notch.

Chu Zhen was the typical type who was ruthless and didn't talk much, preferring to use her fists rather than bicker... Now it seemed to be true.

Not far away, Chu Li flew back on her own; the seawater on her body was evaporated in the blink of an eye, turning into salt, which was then burned away.

"Sis, you really need to change that explosive temper of yours. How can you use physical force in front of a guest?" Chu Li picked up a piece of fruit and sat down while complaining.

"If you could just save me some worry, it wouldn't have to be this way," Chu Zhen said indifferently.

"How can you blame me for this? Mom also said that your temper is too big, even more explosive than mine, and that you need to change it," Chu Li retorted.

"I only use force to make people shut up as quickly as possible; I don't want to waste time with nonsense or engage in verbal arguments," Chu Zhen countered.

"Besides, I don't use force every time; most of the time, I am quite gentle."

"Gentle, my foot!" Recalling all her past behavior, Chu Li almost blurted it out.

Just after scolding, she realized she had scolded the wrong person.

I am her sister...

"..." Chu Zhen was speechless.

Watching this rather interesting and heartwarming scene, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile.

The sister liked to use her mouth to scold people, while the older sister liked to use her hands to hit people; to be honest, neither of them had any room to talk about the other.

Perhaps it was due to their Family Bloodline; after all, the Chu Family possessed the Lightning and Fire Element Bloodline, and Ability Users with these elements often had explosive tempers.

The Chu Family produced two trump cards, but they turned out to be two powder kegs that would ignite at the slightest touch.

"Apologies, we were just busy bickering," Chu Zhen looked at him.

"It's fine. I actually thought you didn't speak at all," Chen Xing laughed.

"Is there such a big misunderstanding?"

"It might be because you prefer to use force rather than scold people. People in the world say you have a cold and aloof persona and are very gentle, while your sister is the complete opposite."

Upon hearing this, Chu Li was unconvinced: "What do you mean opposite? Even if my temper is bad, could it be worse than hers?"

"Alright, let's talk about business," Chu Zhen said.

Hearing this, both of them quieted down.

"I won't go into the origin and purpose of the Domain of God; you both already understand that. What needs to be said concerns the specific rules for those of us from the Lower Realm who belong to the category of [Non-Immortal Personnel]," Chu Zhen said.

"The Alliance has strict requirements for us, which is that we cannot stay here for a long time unless we pass an assessment. If the assessment is not met, we must go back down after a certain period."

"Every year, a large number of people fail the assessment and are sent back to the Lower Realm, stopping their progress there for life."

Chen Xing thought to himself that as expected, the Domain of God was not so easy to stay in; it wasn't as if passing the Lower Realm assessment meant one could live here permanently.

"As for what the assessment is, it actually varies from person to person. The Alliance will design the exam questions based on what you excel at, so I don't have much experience to help you in this regard," Chu Zhen said.

"However, with your ability, it is not impossible for you to stay in this place forever," she said, looking at Chen Xing.

"I still want to go to greater heights, so 'forever' is out of the question," Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.

Chu Zhen was surprised and speechless.

He hadn't even become a Main God-level powerhouse yet, and he was already thinking about going to greater heights. What place could be higher? Was it the place where those Kings resided?

"In the Domain of God, you, including myself, belong to specific personnel, so there will be specific guest houses," Chu Zhen continued.

"For those who do not have the support of a Family in the Upper Realm, they can choose to go to the guest house. It is actually just like an academy, with experts from all over, competing against each other, and the competition is very fierce."

"Is it always like this?" Chen Xing couldn't help but ask.

From the moment he arrived in the Domain of God, he could clearly feel the difference in the environment, which was far better than in the Lower Realm.

Cultivating here yields twice the result with half the effort!

"There are many activities held regularly, such as when a certain Secret Realm opens, allowing people to enter and compete for resources, or hosting a tournament to promote exchange," Chu Zhen explained.

"These events are held very frequently, on average once or twice a month, and sometimes even three times. You will see many of them in the future."
