In the tavern.
Fang Chen leaned against the window and drank alone.
The tavern was the fastest place to obtain information.
Fang Chen was new here and was unfamiliar with the Origin World.
The only thing he remembered was what the Great Sage had told him.
However, the Great Sage had never been to the Origin World, so he did not know how far the Devouring Demon Clan had developed after countless years.
After a long while.
Fang Chen drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
He sighed.
He now had a rough idea of the overall layout of the Origin World.
The overlord force of the Origin World was the Devouring Demon Clan.
However, after generations of development, they eventually evolved into other branches and clans.
For example, the Han family of Thousand Autumns City. Although their ancestors were also from the Devouring Demon Clan, their bloodline became thinner and thinner due to generations of inheritance. In Han Lin's generation, they could no longer activate the Devouring Demon Bloodline in their bodies.
Such a clan was at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Origin World. They had almost no right to speak.
The identity of the Devouring Demon Clan did not guarantee their survival.
Thousand Autumns City was a small border city in the Origin World.
It was one of the twelve cities of Carefree Manor.
Speaking of Carefree Manor, Fang Chen was naturally no stranger to it.
In the Demonic Sky Fire Domain, he had once killed the Young Marquis Xiao Mu and defeated Carefree Manor's spirit body.
"I didn't expect this."
Fang Chen shook his head.
He did not expect that he would reincarnate and come to Carefree Manor.
Right now, what he needed to do was to stabilize his position and gain a foothold in the Origin World.
He could not rush for success. Otherwise, once his identity was exposed, he would definitely die.
At that time, the vast Primal Chaos Realm would also completely vanish into thin air.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Fang Chen's ears twitched as he heard some useful information.
The selection of Thousand Autumns Mountain.
"What is this?"
Fang Chen was surprised.
However, he soon understood.
Nine years of heavy snow in Thousand Autumns City, a phenomenon fell from the sky. Carefree Manor took it very seriously and personally ordered to send an envoy to Thousand Autumns City to select geniuses.
Heavy snow promised a bountiful year.
Nine years of heavy snow, Thousand Autumns City would definitely produce geniuses.
Many people were discussing it.
Once he passed the selection of Qianqiu Mountain, he would be able to cultivate in Carefree House.
"Thousand Autumns City basically doesn't have any core members of the Devouring Devil Clan. If you want to obtain the blood essence of the Devouring Devil Clan, you have to go to a bigger stage."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
He had decided to participate in the Thousand Autumn Mountain selection.
After paying the bill, he walked out of the restaurant.
At this moment, Fang Chen saw a carriage coming towards him.
What attracted his attention was not the carriage.
Instead, it was the person pulling the carriage.
That's right, in front of the carriage, there were two old men in tattered clothes. They were pulling the carriage forward.
"This is … a human?"
Fang Chen frowned.
The Origin World was the territory of the Demon Devouring Race. They had a blood feud with the races of the Chaos Realm.
Why would a human warrior appear here?
"As expected of the Young Master of the Li family. How imposing."
"Of course, the Li family's ancestor has already personally appointed the Li family's young master as the next patriarch. His status has greatly increased."
"He's always been an arrogant and despotic silkpants. Now that he's the young master of the Li Clan, he's even more arrogant."
"These two coachmen are so pitiful."
The surrounding people were discussing animatedly.
"Hmph, what's there to pity?"
A man with sword-like eyebrows said coldly.
"They're all sinners and should be punished in the Land of the Sinners. However, our Demon Devouring Race brought them here and spared them from punishment. They should be grateful."
Seeing this, the others did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, Fang Chen finally understood.
It seemed that there were many beings of the Chaos Realm in the Origin World, and they were all enslaved.
Fang Chen sighed.
In the Chaos Realm, perhaps they were strong.
However, after being captured and brought to the Origin World, they were powerless to resist and could only be slaughtered.
Fang Chen could sense that the two men's cultivation had reached the Saint Realm.
In the Chaos Realm, they had the ability to protect themselves.
But here …
Unknowingly, Fang Chen clenched his fists. A cold murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"If I want to save the world, I have to obtain the blood essence of the Demon Devouring Race and let my perfect bloodline transform completely. Then, I'll destroy the Demon Devouring Race's patriarch's plan."
Fang Chen murmured to himself.
This was only the tip of the iceberg.
He believed that the more central the Demon Devouring Race was, the more powerful beings of the Chaos Realm would be enslaved.
He even guessed that the once unparalleled powerhouses of the Godsfall Battlefield had mysteriously disappeared. Were they secretly captured and brought here by the Demon Devouring Race?
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's heart became even heavier.
The burden on his shoulders was heavy.
Therefore, he had to be more careful.
He could not act on impulse, and he could not pity them.
"Fist salute."
Fang Chen looked at the two of them with some guilt.
With his current strength, he could rescue the two of them, but he could not expose himself.
A few days later.
The envoy of the Carefree Mansion arrived.
The powerhouses of the Thousand Autumn City welcomed him.
"Welcome, envoy."
The City Lord of the Thousand Autumn City cupped his fists.
Behind him were many patriarchs of the various families.
"Are you ready?"
The envoy was dressed in green and had a cold expression.
"We're ready. We're just waiting for the envoy to arrive."
With that, the Thousand Autumn City Lord waved his hand, and all the contestants came to the square.
Fang Chen was among the crowd.
He was participating in the Thousand Autumn Mountain selection in the name of Lin Chen.
"The Marquis attaches great importance to this selection. I hope that you can all do your best."
After the envoy finished speaking, he sat on the rostrum.
Next, the Thousand Autumn City Lord explained the rules of the selection.
Outside the Thousand Autumn City, there was a towering mountain called the Thousand Autumn Mountain.
There were many obstacles on the Thousand Autumn Mountain. Whoever could successfully reach the peak would pass the selection.
"Only the top twenty." The envoy closed his eyes.
With the order of the Thousand Autumn City Lord, all the contestants came to the foot of the Thousand Autumn Mountain.
Boom!
The prodigies of the various families directly climbed the mountain.
Fang Chen stopped and watched for a long time.
In the city, on the rostrum.
"Congratulations, Patriarch Li. The Li family has produced an incredible genius."
"Yes, Li Shaoqiu's strength is almost invincible in the same realm. He will definitely pass this selection."
Some of the family heads complimented each other.
Among them, the Li and Mo families were the leaders.
On the Thousand Autumn Mountain, the disciples of the Li Clan and Mo Clan did not disappoint the crowd. They were taking the lead and charging forward.
"Patriarch Han, why isn't Han Lin participating?"
Suddenly, someone asked.
"Could it be that Han Lin doesn't want to participate?"
Patriarch Han glanced at the envoy and hurriedly explained, "Han Lin went out on a mission and hasn't returned yet, so …"
The Han family had already declined, and he did not want to anger the envoy.
"Hey, what's that guy doing?"
At this moment, everyone noticed Fang Chen.
He stood at the foot of the Thousand Autumn Mountain with his hands behind his back, staring at the peak.
"That guy is called Lin Chen. He's a wandering cultivator."
"He couldn't have been scared silly, right?"
Everyone shook their heads and ignored him.
Such people could be found everywhere.
