The series of events that happened in the Three Lives Secret Realm was out of everyone's control. It was more like a filter.
To filter out those who fit the criteria of the Three Lives Divine Stone.
First, in the previous life's ocean, those who didn't come in with their loved ones or didn't even have a loved one fell into the ocean. No one knew if they were still alive or dead.
Although they couldn't be sure, with so many people disappearing just like that, no one knew what would happen to the Three Lives Secret Realm. Some might die or even be sealed forever.
Now, only seven people, including Zhong Yuyao, were left.
However, in this Stone of This Life, Long Chen was sure that something similar to the previous life's ocean would happen. People would continue to be eliminated. When the Empyrean Heart Fire appeared, he was even more certain of his guess.
In fact, the punishment this time was even more severe than the previous life's ocean. It should be the Empyrean Heart Fire.
This Three Lives Secret Realm didn't seem dangerous at all. The scenery was beautiful, but it would be a big mistake to think that there was no danger here.
The Stone of This Life could only stand within a radius of a hundred meters.
The Empyrean Heart Fire that came from the deities below burned fiercely. The divine characters turned into ferocious beasts and showed signs of climbing up the Stone of This Life. The heat made Lingxi uncomfortable. Long Chen wanted to let her enter the Divine Kingdom, but Lingxi refused.
She said, "In this Three Lives Secret Realm, I want to face anything with you. Maybe it will be helpful for both of us."
She wasn't talking nonsense. She really needed it.
In this place, what was tested was not strength, but whether one was serious, responsible, and loyal to love.
Things that didn't seem important were especially important here.
Everyone frowned deeply as they stared at the Heavenly God's Heart Fire burning violently below them.
Neptune murmured, "We can't fly. Once the Stone of This Life below us disappears, we will fall into the Empyrean Heart Fire. We will probably be burned to death. The torture will be terrifying and we will be burned for a long time. The previous life's ocean didn't seem dangerous, but the Empyrean Heart Fire appeared here."
Long Chen could feel it too.
Without the Stone of This Life, anyone would be tortured to death, and he was no exception. There were rules set by the gods everywhere. His power had already been sealed, and it was difficult for him to support the fire of life.
If Mo Xiaolang was here, he would be able to devour the Deity Heart Fire. Unfortunately, he was on the Devil Star.
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared blankly at the surging white flames.
'The meaning of the Three Lives Secret Realm is that the deeper one goes, the greater the punishment one would have to suffer if they were to be eliminated. In my previous life, the ocean had only disappeared, and no one knew if it was dead or alive. But in this place, it is already confirmed that one will die. Not to mention, it will be a painful and torturous death.'
"This damned place."
Seagod Emperor looked around, looking for a way to escape.
Surrounded by the Celestial Fire, death was close at hand. Long Chen had the same feeling he had when he was surrounded by the nine-colored mist in the Battlefield of the Gods game. Once he left the place he was standing, he would die without a burial.
He was fine, but the important thing was that Lingxi was by his side.
He had to protect his woman.
As time passed, the answer would eventually come to light.
Not long after, the remaining small Stone of This Life began to change. The golden divine characters in the sky landed on the Stone of This Life, forming a paragraph that could be understood.
It was very straightforward.
'Hand in hand, be faithful to the end.'
This was the first sentence.
'Every man can choose a woman, and every woman can choose a man to live together. Those who are not chosen will be punished by the Deity Heart Fire. They will be burned for a year, and then turned into ashes.'
The first part of the sentence was easy to understand, but the latter part was very scary.
Long Chen carefully analyzed and thought, 'For example, I can choose to let Lingxi live, and Lingxi can choose to let me live. Then both of us will be fine, and so will Chen Xing Yao and his lover. But on Seagod Emperor's side …'
On this side, there were a total of three people.
Seagod Emperor would definitely live. He could choose a woman, and that woman would definitely choose him. As for the other one who was not chosen, he would definitely die.
This was a choice for the Seagod Emperor, and it was also a huge problem.
Long Chen was very happy. This time, he had once again become an outsider. The ones who accepted the test were Seagod Emperor and the other two. The dispute between the three of them had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't do anything. There were a total of seven people present, three men and four women, so one of the women would definitely die.
If it wasn't Emperor Xi, then it was Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was sexy and alluring, and she was fatally tempting to the Seagod Emperor.
Emperor Xi was the emperor of the Sea Clan, and she had countless years of feelings with the Seagod Emperor. They were once childhood sweethearts, and they had spent half their lives together.
Then, who would he choose?
Among the people present, it seemed that apart from Emperor Xi, everyone else knew of Zhong Yuyao's existence, so only she thought that there were only six people here.
When everyone fell into deep thought and struggled slightly in their hearts, Emperor Xi smiled coldly and said, "Isn't that perfect? There are a total of six people, three men and three women. Anyone can survive."
At this time, the divine text had already disappeared, but everyone already knew what to do.
At this time, Long Chen discovered that a golden character had appeared on his left hand, and a silver character had appeared on Lingxi's left hand. The two characters came from ancient times and were extremely complicated, but they should be showing the meaning of male and female.
The same was true for the other four.
The requirement of the Three Lives Secret Realm was that when the two characters came together, the two of them would be able to survive together. This was the choice of the Stone of Present Life.
And below it was the Deity Heart Fire, punishing those who were not chosen.
In his previous life, the sea eliminated those who did not have a lover in the crowd, and the punishment of the Stone of Present Life was for those who loved someone but were not chosen.
To those who died, this was the most extreme double blow to their hearts and bodies. From this, it could be seen that the Three Lives Secret Realm was not beautiful at all.
Long Chen was fine, but Chen Xingyao was going to be involved in their war.
Liu Ji and Emperor Xi both looked at the Sea God Emperor.
Emperor Xi was the first wife, so of course, she couldn't tolerate the Sea God Emperor choosing Liu Ji. In her opinion, although Chen Xingyao could replace her to let her live, in this aspect, she absolutely couldn't lose. If word got out that the Sea God Emperor chose Liu Ji today, what face would she have left?
She sneered and said, "Isn't Chen Xingyao your husband? Just nice, although he's not very useful, he's still a man. Go find him."
Chen Xingyao was shocked. He knew that he definitely had to let Zhong Yuyao live.
But at this time, Liu Ji cast a vicious gaze over. In his body, the blue charm was releasing venom that could take Chen Xingyao's life at will. If Chen Xingyao died, even Zhong Yuyao wouldn't be able to live. So Liu Ji was threatening him, and the content of the threat was naturally for him not to reveal Zhong Yuyao's matter.
The most poisonous woman's heart.
Chen Xingyao's life was in the hands of the other party. He originally wanted to tell Emperor Xi that he had someone to choose, but under Liu Ji's threat, he had no choice.
Moreover, Liu Ji was also threatening Long Chen because of this.
She knew that Long Chen cared about Chen Xingyao's life and death, so she wouldn't tell Emperor Xi this secret.
She had unintentionally put down the blue charm, but she didn't expect it to be so useful at this time.
To be honest, for the sake of Chen Xingyao's life and death, Long Chen could only choose to watch the show. He only had this choice. He knew that Emperor Xi Yao would definitely be very miserable.
The appearance of the Stone of Present Life's rules was just to torture her.
The Sea God Emperor was bewildered by lust and had long forgotten about his wife. When the two of them could get along harmoniously, he would of course choose to apologize in exchange for their support, but when one of them had to die, he would only choose Liu Ji.
He knew of Zhong Yuyao's existence.
With Long Chen by his side, it was basically unrealistic for him to threaten Chen Xingyao to choose Emperor Xi Yao. He naturally didn't know that Liu Ji had already used the blue charm to control Chen Xingyao. It was possible that she could threaten Chen Xingyao to choose Emperor Xi Yao over Zhong Yuyao, but Liu Ji obviously wouldn't do that.
With this opportunity, why didn't she let Emperor Xi Yao die?
Long Chen and Lingxi both knew all of this.
He didn't care so much and directly stretched out his left hand to shake Lingxi's left hand. The two of them stood facing each other, and the golden and silver lights converged, forming a thin film of light on their bodies. Under this film of light, the scorching heat of the Deity Heart Fire could no longer be felt, and Lingxi also became much more comfortable.
Chen Xingyao didn't dare to make a move.
"Chen …"
Lingxi looked at Emperor Xi Yao and couldn't bear to see it. The Deity Heart Fire below was simply too terrifying.
"Little Xi, we have no way of interfering, unless we can break the rules here."
"But this is really cruel …"
"Perhaps this is fate …"
While they were secretly communicating, Liu Ji had already relied on her advantage to instruct the Sea God Emperor and herself to force Emperor Xi Yao to take a step back and choose Chen Xingyao.
She gently placed her hand on the Sea God Emperor's side, revealing her graceful body. She stuck to the Sea God Emperor's body and said in a tender voice, "I think you should stay with Chen Xingyao. You are stronger, and I don't know what will happen next. If I leave him, I won't be able to protect my own life."
The Sea God Emperor smiled foolishly, but his heart was covered in cold sweat.
"Scram."
Emperor Xi Yao was so angry that she almost died. Originally, she had suppressed the killing intent in her heart with great difficulty and wanted to settle it after leaving this place. However, Liu Ji was relying on the Sea God Emperor's favor to become more and more excessive. Although she could survive no matter what, as the first wife, how could she be sent to be with another man?
The two of them started to argue.
The Sea God Emperor's head was covered in cold sweat. He naturally knew that Liu Ji wanted Emperor Xi Yao to die. He looked down at the two women and imagined that if he really had to abandon one of them, then he could only …
There was no doubt that he was in pain at this time.
On one side was his wife, and on the other was a peerless beauty.
If he chose Emperor Xi Yao, even if Liu Ji died, there would be a rift between the two of them.
