Floating in midair were countless black dots, making it hard for Huang Xiaolong to see them clearly.
Ye Chen estimated that if all the Ghostly Celestials in the Thunder Plaza were gathered here, there would be close to a billion Ghostly Celestials!
There were fifty to sixty prehistoric civilizations in the field, and due to the scarcity of resources, there were only around seventy to eighty million people in total!
Among them, Ghost Gods were not rare. In the Ancient Era, any ordinary person could reach the Ghost God Realm after cultivating for a hundred years!
Only Half-God Realm experts could be considered the strongest force in a civilization!
Adding up all the Half-God Realm experts in the field, there were only ten million of them. As for Semi-Divinity Realm experts, they were even rarer.
"Everyone!"
A thunderous voice reverberated in the air above the field. "I am an elder from the Scarlet Falling Gate's Human Resources Department. I am here today to recruit Ghost Gods with great potential. If you are willing to join, you can stay!"
The voice rumbled through the entire field.
"What?"
"Scarlet Falling Gate?"
"So, it's the Scarlet Falling Gate!
Hahaha … "
"What is the Scarlet Falling Gate?"
The one billion Ghost Gods in the air woke up. Hearing the mysterious man's words, some were confused, some were overjoyed, and some fell silent. In an instant, the entire field exploded.
How shocking was it to have a billion people gathered in one place?
If one's physique wasn't strong enough, they would have fainted just by standing there.
Ye Chen's eyes darted around, and he noticed several mysterious men exuding majestic auras rushing out from the civilizations in the distance. All of them were Half-God Realm experts. What was strange was that these people only watched from afar without any intention of approaching.
"Everyone!"
The red-robed man said solemnly, "As long as you become a disciple of our Scarlet Falling Gate, you will be provided with free food every month, a cultivation cave, and many pills to temper your physique!"
"According to historical records, anyone who joins our Scarlet Falling Gate, even if they are a First Order Ghost God, will reach the Half-God Realm in three years!"
The red-robed man's voice was filled with pride and dignity. "If no one withdraws, I will begin the selection process."
Silence!
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little astonished.
From the Ghost God Realm to the Half-God Realm in three years?
One had to know that some people had been stuck at the peak of the Ghostly Celestial Realm for countless years without ever stepping into a higher realm. Their flesh and blood were unable to evolve, causing them to die with a grudge.
But this red-robed man said that as long as he joined, he would definitely reach the Demigod realm in three years!
Whoosh!
After a moment of silence, the entire place burst into an uproar. Countless people were so excited that their faces were flushed red, and their bodies were trembling slightly. In this ancient world, Ghostly Deities were only considered ordinary people!
A demigod was equivalent to a small boss!
A Semi-Divinity realm expert was equivalent to the leader of an organization.
As for the higher level Deities, they were the top figures in the world!
These ghostly immortals were not to be underestimated on Earth. However, in this vast ancient world, they were like tiny droplets of water in the Thunder Square of the reception platform.
Only after becoming a Demigod would one have the right to hunt in the vicinity of the plaza. As for the Specter Realm experts, they were merely the targets of the hunt.
The red-robed man's face was impassive as he swept his gaze across the crowd. Wherever his gaze passed, everyone felt a cold glint piercing deep into their bones. It was as if a venomous snake had coiled around their necks, causing their bodies to stiffen uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, the originally noisy crowd became completely silent.
A crimson glow burst forth from the red-robed man's eyes, and there seemed to be a faint shadow within it. Starting from the east, he slowly swept his gaze across the crowd.
"You!"
The red-clothed man raised his hand and pointed. Immediately, a man in jet-black armor was pulled to his side by a mysterious force.
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"
As the red-robed man raised his hand, numerous figures darted out from the crowd and flew toward the red-robed man.
Soon, the red-robed man pointed at Ye Chen's body. As his finger moved, Ye Chen felt that his entire body was bound by a mysterious power. This power was filled with a broad, vast, calm, and peaceful aura.
A moment later …
"Well, except for those who were selected by me, the rest of you can go back!" The red-robed man waved his sleeves. Everyone was slightly stunned as they looked at him dumbfoundedly.
"Isn't this a selection?"
"Why did it end so quickly?"
"We haven't started yet!"
The crimson-clothed man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your aptitudes are lacking. I have the Crimson Fall Sect's Quasi Divine Treasure, the Heaven's Eye. It can see through a person's cultivation base and potential. Those who are selected by me are automatically selected through the Quasi Divine Treasure, the Heaven's Eye."
Speaking of this, the red-robed man looked at the crowd coldly, "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone was silent.
Objections?
Of course, they had objections!
However, since the red-robed man had used a Pseudo-Divine Treasure, it was useless to have objections.
Although many people were upset, they could not talk back. They could only accept it helplessly. After all, the power of a Pseudo-Divine Treasure was unquestionable!
However, how could they be willing to give up just like that?
The red-robed man did not intend to comfort them at all. He said calmly, "Those who were selected by me, come to the eastern side of the square and wait for me in three days." After that, he turned around and left.
Ye Chen watched him disappear quickly and frowned slightly. He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the people who had been selected. He felt that there were about 100,000 people. He could not help but shake his head slightly. Then, he turned around and left, returning to the spiritual civilization territory.
Xu Tianguo, the White Dragon, and the others immediately surrounded him and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Ye Chen said calmly, "In two days, I will leave here and go to Blue Water City. Once the matter is settled, no one will dare to touch the spiritual civilization here. It can develop steadily."
Xu Tianguo was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with great joy, "Really?"
Ye Zhu looked a little worried, "It must be very dangerous. Are you sure?"
She was no longer the little girl she used to be. In the past, she would never let Ye Chen do such a dangerous thing.
She did not think of herself as a great person.
She was just an ordinary person. She did not want her dearest and only family to be in danger!
But now, after going through so many hardships, her mind gradually matured. She knew that it was not that she did not want to do many things, but that she had to do them.
She had too many things on her shoulders …
She felt that at this time, the only thing she could do was to share the burden with Ye Chen. Although she could not help him in battle, she could understand his feelings and let him know that she was not fighting alone!
Ye Chen looked at her. His eyes flashed slightly and his expression softened, "It's not a big deal. It's just that a very powerful force has taken a fancy to me. In a few days, I will go for a test. Once I pass, I will become a member of that force.
At that time, the other forces in the square will give us some face and will not make things difficult for us. "
Everyone suddenly understood.
"You can't force yourself!" Ye Zhu said worriedly.
Ye Chen pinched her cheeks and said with a smile, "Little girl, are you still worried about me?"
Ye Zhu slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Anyway, if you are not here, I will immediately go and accompany you!"
Ye Chen's body trembled slightly as hot blood surged from the depths of his heart. He looked deeply at her, but didn't say anything. He said, "I'll go into seclusion first." His figure flashed and disappeared.
… …
With the arrival of the red clothed man, the entire Thunder Square was in an uproar. Many forces had called for a meeting to train the people who had the qualifications to participate in the test. They were taught many things about the Scarlet Meteor Sect.
As the appointed time arrived, countless figures gathered at the east side of the square. Looking around, there was an endless darkness. There were many people's heads and there were many low voices of discussion.
Not long after — —
Sou ~ ~
In the distant sky, a bright green flying ship slowly flew over. This flying ship was extremely majestic and wide. It was at least a hundred times the size of the formation flying ship. It looked like an aircraft carrier.
At the front was a flag with a picture of a red flame engraved on it.
"Come up!" A deep voice sounded from the flying ship and spread to the ears of everyone below.
The people present were not children. They immediately knew what to do. Their figures moved and automatically lined up neatly. They connected together and rushed towards the flying ship in an orderly manner. It was like a long black cloth that crossed the sky.
Ye Chen followed the crowd and rushed forward. Along the way, he did not see anyone cutting in line or falling behind. He looked around and realized that although the people around him were all humans, there were some slight differences in their appearance.
For example, in the first era of the superpower civilization, everyone had three eyes. The vertical eye in between their eyebrows was usually closed and would only open during battle.
Every person in the superpower civilization would awaken their superpower at the age of 16. These superpowers were divided into different grades. Some superpowers could only see through people's clothes and see their bodies …
There were also superpowers that could turn stones into gold and so on. These were all lower grade superpowers.
In the cities of the peaceful era, there were a small number of superpower users (Espers). These people all came from the superpower bloodline of the first era of the solar era.
Some of the more powerful superpowers, such as the Domain, Blood Sacrifice World, and so on. Some of the more terrifying superpower users, although they were only level 100, could use their superpowers to kill a powerhouse that was thousands of levels higher!
Of course, the result after the event was overexertion, fainting, or even death!
Other than the superpower civilization of the first era of the solar era, there was also the fire civilization of the second era of the solar era, the giant civilization of the third era of the solar era, and the Atlantis civilization of the fourth era of the solar era.
The people of the Atlantis civilization were born extremely intelligent. At the age of 14 or 15, they had the wisdom of a spiritual civilization. They had once ruled the earth, but in the end, they disappeared overnight. All the countries in the future searched for them, but there was no trace of them.
The fire civilization was too old, so there was not much evidence that could be found. The giant civilization was first found on an isolated island where the skeleton of a giant was found. Therefore, it was determined that the second era of the solar era was the giant civilization.
