Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 26 Question [Please continue reading]

This is also why they don't understand the value of the Creation Orb. Otherwise, they would feel heartbroken for even one or two of them in this transaction. However, due to the information asymmetry, and their current urgent need to know the situation outside, they are still willing to pay these prices.

Cai Honglong had no objection to this; at this moment, Lin Fang could represent his opinion. He would only speak up to stop her if he felt it was truly inappropriate.

"OK, alright."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hongguang paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

No matter how much or how little, he's guaranteed to make a profit.

"My first question is, please tell me what you know about the Ruins of Return."

Lin Fang asked.

As he spoke, he took out five orbs of light and asked very clever questions.

One question is enough to encompass a great deal of information.

"This Lin Fang is no simple woman; the questions she asked were very clever."

Ji Tianhao nodded inwardly, paying more attention to Lin Fang. Someone who could reach a high position in the hotel was indeed no ordinary person; she was incisive and got straight to the heart of the matter.

"This problem"

Upon hearing this, Liang Hongguang was stunned for a moment before saying, "These five Creation Orbs are really hard to earn. Alright, then I will tell you what I know about the Ruins of Return. I can only guarantee that this is what I know and understand. I cannot guarantee anything else."

He paused for a moment, glancing at the giant python and the ogre still fighting outside. The battle there should be over soon, so he had to hurry.

"No one knows the origin of Guixu. All that is known is that Guixu is the final resting place, the cemetery, and the purgatory of all the myriad realms, all the myriad races, all the spirits, and all life. It is a place of eternal miracles of opportunity and creation."

"It is said that when life in the myriad worlds encounters certain disasters or dies, it may be captured by the Void and pulled into the Void. In many worlds, there are areas that are directly captured by the Void and integrated into the Void, becoming part of the Void. The part that falls into the Void when it is pulled in is called the Initial Land. After the Initial Land is completely digested, it becomes part of the Void."

Cai Honglong interjected, "Our hotel was captured by Guixu and integrated into Guixu."

"That's right, it's quite normal for an entire hotel to fall into ruin."

Liang Hongguang nodded and continued, "Sometimes you fall into a city, that's something we often hear about. In short, once you're captured by Guixu, you become part of Guixu. And no one knows how big Guixu really is. There are a few ironclad rules in Guixu, and if you don't know them, you'll suffer a great loss later."

"This should be within the scope of the previous questions, right?"

Lin Fang's eyes lit up, and she asked.

"certainly."

Liang Hongguang grinned, not wanting to cause trouble: "The first iron law of Guixu: all things wither. No ordinary plants, flowers, trees, or shrubs can grow in the soil of Guixu. Once they enter Guixu, they will wither quickly until they die, severing all life. You can understand the power of this law from the jungle outside."

Upon hearing this, Cai Honglong, Ji Tianhao, and the others all changed their expressions. They had already suspected something, and now that they heard this, their suspicions were completely confirmed.

"No wonder, no wonder the trees outside are withering so quickly, and the flowers, grass and trees on the roof have turned yellow and lost their vitality overnight. No wonder most of the people in this mud camp look pale and thin, like they are facing a famine. This is not just an appearance, they are really facing a famine."

Ji Tianhao felt a chill run down his spine.

Recalling the changes he had noticed before, he quickly understood the chaos that this law would create in the Ruins. First and foremost, normal crops would be impossible to grow in the Ruins, meaning that food shortages and scarcity would permeate every corner of the Ruins. The number of lives lost to hunger every day would be immeasurable.

The importance of basic supplies will be elevated to a whole new level.

No one could predict what kind of chaos would result from hunger.

"The second ironclad law of Guixu: Food is the most important thing for the people."

"As far as I know, in the Void, regardless of race or life form, everyone experiences hunger and needs to eat. If they don't eat, they will develop intense hunger, even a constantly accumulating hunger. While this might not kill some powerful beings, it can drive them mad, subjecting them to relentless mental torment, and even causing them to completely lose their minds. This is something no one can avoid, and every race must abide by it. For each race, and for individuals of varying strength, the time it takes to feel full after a meal will differ. There can be considerable intervals, but once hunger strikes, one must find a way to eat."

Liu San continued his story.

His words also revealed his invisible fear of hunger, a unique feeling that was completely unbearable, the most painful torment, and an immeasurable impact on the spirit. Once you've experienced it, not many people would want to go through it a second time.

Unfortunately, food is scarce within the Ruins of Guixu, and when food is unavailable, hunger becomes an unavoidable problem.

There are countless examples of people going mad from hunger; I've heard of them and I haven't.

Just mentioning it makes people turn pale with fear.

Gulu! !
Those who heard this almost unanimously showed fear and secretly swallowed their saliva.

No grain can be grown in Guixu.

Eating is essential in the Void. The combination of these two things—food and drink—is enough to create a terrifying scene, even just imagining it is enough to know how horrific it would be. It would be nothing short of hell on earth.

"This is a hellish environment."

Qi Lin almost dropped the pipe he was holding in his mouth, and quickly caught it, letting out a muttered sound.

Although I knew this place was dangerous, I never imagined the situation would be this dire. It's practically a matter of life and death for supplies; no wonder, no wonder the people in that wanderer camp looked like refugees.

“Supplies are life. Since the Ruins are not only inhabited by humans, but also by all kinds of races from the heavens, perhaps humans are just prey to other races, the targets of their hunt.”

A thought flashed through Ji Tianhao's mind: without a doubt, this was absolutely possible. Just like the ogres outside, which were a race that fed on humans, if they caught him, he would undoubtedly be eaten.

Humans were no longer the leaders of all beings, but fell directly to the bottom of the food chain, becoming prey and food once again.

How terrible that would be.

"What's so special about this? The most important thing is that the Ruins of Guixu is not a true paradise. It is the final resting place of all things, the end of life. It is also a paradise for natural disasters. Natural disasters are the only true and unchanging truth. Some say that the existence of the Ruins of Guixu is to bury all life. In the Ruins of Guixu, different natural disasters occur every month. Natural disasters are the only ones that treat all life equally. All races and all things in the heavens are equal under the influence of natural disasters. For example, this month's natural disaster is called the Desert Disaster. We face endless sandstorms. If we can withstand it, we live; if we can't, we die."

Tian Buqi echoed this.

His face showed genuine fear.

Compared to hunger, natural disasters are the most deadly. Everyone faces new natural calamities, endless and continuous. It can be said that within the Ruins of Return is equivalent to entering an endless purgatory. It is the graveyard of the weak and the testing ground for the strong.

"All things under the frosty sky compete freely."

Cai Honglong murmured.

Many people's faces were deathly pale.

They had thought the giant pythons and cannibals outside were already a deadly threat, but now it seemed that every day in the future would be the end of the world, a struggle for survival in purgatory. How could people who had lived in a peaceful era not feel fear when they thought about this?

What will the future hold?

How long can I live?

Could it have been killed by a natural disaster, or perhaps eaten by some monster?

Various terrifying images involuntarily flooded my mind.

Everyone felt that the future was bleak.

"This is all the information we have. Guixu is a purgatory, even more cruel than hell. If you can't accept it, you can just jump off the building and end it all."

Pang Yan said with a mocking smile.

Those who lack courage do not deserve to survive in the Ruins of Return.

After recounting these messages, Liang Hongguang accepted the five Creation Orbs with a clear conscience, a smile playing on his lips.

"My second question is that I need to know all the information about the origin, or at least all that you know."

Cai Honglong took a deep breath and, without hesitation, asked the second question.

He could afford the cost of five orbs of light.

"can."

Liang Hongguang smiled and nodded, indicating, "Old Liu, you tell us all the information about the initial place."

"it is good!!"

Liu San stepped forward and said, "You all know the origin of the Initial Land. It is an area outside the Ruins of Return that was captured and belongs to the Initial Land. But what you may not know is that the Initial Land contains a great fortune."

"What a stroke of luck."

Hu Youni asked with great interest.

"After the initial land falls into the Ruins of Return, the laws of the Ruins of Return will assimilate, merge and absorb it. In this process, the initial land, being an external enclave, contains different world origins, laws of heaven and earth, and laws of the Ruins of Return. At the same time, the laws and Dao rhymes manifest, causing the rules within the initial land to undergo tremendous changes."

Liu San explained with great familiarity: "First, within the Primordial Land, killing beings, having just entered the Ruins of Return, possess unique laws and Daoist principles within their bodies. Once they perish, they absorb the laws of the Ruins of Return and the laws and Daoist principles of the Primordial Land itself, giving birth to a sphere of light that nurtures creation. Within this sphere of light, there is a chance to find any item, any rare treasure, not limited to natural materials, magical artifacts, divine weapons, or various other rare treasures and cultivation techniques—anything is possible."
