Chapter 1972: You Overthink
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Lacey Allison and Bowen said in unison.
“No need to thank me, it’s a small effort!” Billy waved his hand. “Let me help you heal first!”
With that, he and Ivy’s siblings got busy.
In about half an hour, Lacey Allison and the others’ injuries were mostly under control.
“Elder Bowen, who were those two people just now?” Billy asked Bowen.
“They are from the Celestial Realm!” Bowen replied.
“Really?” Azure Dragon responded. “What exactly is the Celestial Realm? Do you know?”
“I’ve only heard of it, not much detail,” Bowen shook his head.
“The Celestial Realm is one of the oldest forces in this third-tier star domain, possibly existing even longer than the Mysterious Hall Sect.”
“It is said that a thousand years ago, their power was second only to the Domain Lord’s Mansion.”
“But for some reason, since the incident at the Domain Lord’s Mansion a thousand years ago, the Celestial Realm has rarely appeared.”
“We originally thought they had declined over the years, but it seems we were wrong.”
“Why did they attack you?” Billy asked.
As for why the Celestial Realm suddenly retreated a thousand years ago, he could guess roughly.
According to an elder from the Five Elements Realm, during the battle a thousand years ago, not only the Domain Lord’s Mansion but also other top-ranking sects sent strong warriors to the City of the Dead, and most of them perished.
The Celestial Realm was likely no exception. They probably retreated to avoid annihilation due to losing too many strong warriors.
“We were the first to enter the City of the Dead. They thought we had the Five Elements Magic Stones and demanded we hand them over,” Lacey Allison replied.
“Do they know about the Five Elements Realm?” Judge asked.
“This matter has already spread. Not only the Celestial Realm but others also know,” Lacey Allison continued.
“Do you know which powerful sects have come to the City of the Dead?” Billy asked again.
“In the past half month, nearly a hundred thousand people have come to the City of the Dead, mostly from families and sects outside the Great Blue Star Domain,” Lacey Allison responded.
“Including the Celestial Realm, there are four sects with Entering Emptiness Realm experts. The other forces are not as remarkable; the strongest are only half-step into Entering Emptiness Realm.”
“Four sects with Entering Emptiness Realm experts? That’s quite exaggerated,” White Tiger couldn’t help but say. “This third-tier star domain really hides dragons and tigers!”
“It is indeed surprising,” Vermilion Bird said simultaneously. “It seems that David Roth’s ambition to unify this third-tier star domain was a joke from the start!”
“His target was only the populous cities; these ancient sects had no interest in such matters,” Bowen replied.
“Elder Bowen, have you found the entrance to the ‘Star Domain Chasm’?” Stout asked.
“We have!” Bowen nodded.
“Really?” Stout’s eyes lit up. “Where is it?”
“In the sky above a large canyon in the northern suburbs of the City of the Dead,” Bowen responded.
“Have you tried entering?” Judge asked.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“We tried! But we couldn’t get in!” Bowen nodded and then shook his head. “There is a barrier at the entrance of the Chasm passage that no one can break through.”
At this point, he looked at Billy with a hesitant expression.
“Mr. Billy, you must have been to the Five Elements Realm? There are rumors that there is a way to break through the barrier inside. Is it true?”
“Who is spreading this rumor?” Billy asked back.
“It’s hard to trace where it started, but now everyone in the City of the Dead tends to believe it. This is also why the Celestial Realm people came after us,” Bowen continued.
“Do you believe it?” Billy asked with a faint smile.
“Mr. Billy, don’t misunderstand, I mean no offense, just curious…” Bowen responded after a slight pause.
“It’s true!” Billy interrupted him straightforwardly.
“Really?” Bowen was stunned again.
“Mr. Billy, is there really a way to break through the barrier inside?” Lacey Allison asked simultaneously.
Elder Mikhi and others also showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
They were surprised that the rumor was true and didn’t expect Billy to tell them so directly.
“There is!” Billy nodded again.
“Mr. Billy, then…” Lacey Allison continued.
“Does your Mysterious Hall Sect really want to go to the mid-tier star domain?” Billy asked.
“Mr. Billy, to be honest, Mysterious Hall Sect does have such an idea!” Lacey Allison did not deny it.
“The mid-tier star domain has civilization and resources that our star domain cannot compare with, as well as more advanced martial arts techniques.”
“These are things countless martial artists pursue all their lives, and Mysterious Hall Sect is no exception!”
“But have you ever thought about why there is that barrier?” Billy continued to ask.
“It should be because people from the mid-tier star domain don’t want us to go there, so they blocked the only passage!” Elder Mikhi replied.
“Why don’t people from the mid-tier star domain want us to go there?” Billy asked again.
“I haven’t thought deeply about this question, but it’s probably because they are worried we’ll take their resources or something like that!” Elder Mikhi responded.
“You overthink!” Billy said with a faint smile.
“To be frank, Mysterious Hall Sect may be a top existence in this third-tier star domain.”
“But in the mid-tier star domain, it might not even rank in the second tier; they are not worried about you taking anything.”
“Mr. Billy, do you know who created that barrier?” Lacey Allison asked Billy.
“I don’t know!” Billy shook his head. “But one thing is certain: that barrier is protecting our star domain!”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, Lacey Allison and others were stunned.
“Mr. Billy, do you mean that without that barrier, people from the mid-tier star domain would invade our star domain?” Elder Mikhi asked.
“Do you know why this city became the City of the Dead a thousand years ago?” Billy asked back.
“Hmm?” They were stunned again.
At this point, they naturally understood.
Only people from the mid-tier star domain could have had such power to take down the once-thriving Domain Lord’s Mansion in such a short time!
“Mr. Billy, will you go to the mid-tier star domain?” Poppy asked after a pause.
“I will!” Billy replied. “But not now!”
“Then what are your plans next? Will you return to Great Blue City or…?” Lacey Allison asked.
“We will stay here for a while!” Billy replied.
He was very clear about the current situation.
For people in this third-tier star domain, even if many still didn’t know he had one of the Ten Sacred Objects, news about the Five Elements Realm might spread quickly.
If he returned to Great Blue City now, it would undoubtedly attract attention and bring disaster to Great Blue City!
That was not what he wanted to see!
“We won’t leave for now either!” Lacey Allison said simultaneously.
“The news that Mr. Billy has been to Five Elements Realm will probably spread throughout this city soon.”
“When that happens, there will be great danger. We will stay and help fend off some opponents.”
“And I have already sent word back to Mysterious Hall Sect; it won’t be long before they arrive!”
“Thank you!” Billy said with a faint smile.
