Chapter 221: Heaven Genesis World
--- Chapter 218 ---
Why did this happen?
This question struck Baek Ain's mind right now.
Several unknown experts from this universe surrounded Baek Ain, like a group of lions to a deer. They are strong, and Baek Ain has to admit that.
One of them is a man who models a blue robe as he looks down on Baek Ain, "Hmm, since when did a weakling enter the Saint Blazed Heaven?"
"I couldn't tell your true cultivation, but your Genesis Qi is very faint..."
"Then, you must be an initial Divine Dwelling Realm."
Baek Ain was puzzled by the blue-robed man's words.Saint Blazed Heaven? Genesis Qi? Divine Dwelling Realm?
What are these?
'Alicia, help me out here.' Baek Ain put on a helpless expression.
[Calm down, Host. I'm currently scanning the world and gathering the necessary information]
[Scanning...]
[Condensing...]
[Transferring...]
Baek Ain felt an impulse in his head and received information about the world he traveled into.
The world he traveled into is called Heaven Genesis World or Tianyuan World. It is composed of Nine Heavens. The tyrannical race called Saint Race owns three, while the other six are 'unnaturally' shared by various species. Well, most inhabitants are humans.
Their cultivation systems are similar to the Great Thousand World, except for the last stage, where the 3rd, the 2nd, and 1st Sequence of Gods could only exist one at a time.
They are cultivating Genesis Qi, which can temper one's body, cultivation, and soul.
There are nine realms with an apex stage above them, like cultivating in the Great Thousand World. The highest existence here is Sequence Gods, while the 'strongest' existence in the Great Thousand World is The Great Ruler.
The Heaven Genesis World's nine cultivation realms are the Eight Great Meridians Awakening Realm, Qi Nourishing Realm, Heaven Gate Realm, Alpha-Origin Realm, Divine Dwelling Realm, Heavenly Sun Realm, Nascent Origin Realm, Law Domain Realm, Saint Realm, and God Realm.
Funnily enough, the Dou Qi Continent is like a small dust compared to the Great Thousand World and Heaven Genesis World, which were 'actually' neighbors in the same universe.
Although the Heaven Genesis World is an alternative version, like the Battle Through the Heavens, those Dou Gods in the Dou Qi Continent amount to nothing here.
Even the Great Ruler Experts cannot amount to Sequence Gods of Heaven Genesis Realm. The Great Ruler is comparable to the Saint Realm of Heaven Genesis World.
Baek Ain, a Dou Saint, is only equivalent to the peak Earth Sovereign. As a cold reminder, the Earth Sovereign Realm is 2.5 realms lower than the Great Ruler.
So, vice versa. Baek Ain's strength here is staying between the Divine Dwelling Realm and the Heavenly Sun Realm.
And that's only by essence. Baek Ain's weak foundations are many times weaker than these monstrous natives!
In short, Baek Ain is very weak.
As for location, Baek Ain entered the Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb with the help of the Fire Emperor's Crown. This place is a secret realm that formed in the Saint Blazed Heaven, or Sixth Heaven.
Thankfully, Saint Blazed Realm doesn't belong to the tyrannical Saint Race and is under the jurisdiction of Crimson Genesis Alliance.
Crimson Genesis Alliance is friendly toward humans and the Genesis Beast races.
Still, we shouldn't discount the fact evil people exist everywhere.
It also means the Fire Emperor ascended to the Heaven Genesis World from the lower plane instead of going to the Great Thousand World and becoming an expert here.
Yup, unbelievable.
No wonder Alicia said Tou She Ancient God couldn't touch even the coat of Fire Emperor.
"Hey, why haven't you said anything? Are you a mute?" A feminine voice echoed in the seashore. The person who said that was a prude-looking lady in a pink-white robe.
Baek Ain could feel their gazes penetrating his back, causing him to smile weakly. He raised his hands and finally replied with a slight act, "M-My name is Lin Feng."
Yup, better be cautious than dead.
"Lin Feng, that's such a common name..." The lady in a pink-white robe commented. "So, little brother, where are you coming from?"
Baek Ain put on an awkward expression, "I... Would you believe me if I said I got lost in space?"
"Pfft!"
"HAHAHA~!"
"Lost in space, he said~!"
They laughed at Baek Ain like what he said was the biggest joke ever.
Even the blue-clothed man, who questioned Baek Ain earlier, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle in amusement.
"Little Brother, if you want to lie, at least make it believable." The lady in a pink-white robe giggled. "There is no way a weak Divine Dwelling Realm like you could enter this secret realm with a spatial transmission."
"This place is called Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm, made by the infamous Fire Roc Saint."
"And you need a qualification, or what I called a key, to enter it."
"Just you know, only Blazed Roc Palace could give this key."
"Now, the question is..."
Her eyes locked on Baek Ain's face, "What kind of key do you have to allow entrance from another place?"
"Don't be shy, do tell this older sister."
Baek Ain shook his head mentally because being called little brother or anything young felt nostalgic. Of course, it was understandable for these people because, to them, he was only a kid.
Since they are above the Divine Dwelling Realm, their lifespans are over 5,000 years, though they might not be that old.
With that in mind, Baek Ain started brewing a plan in his head and used the Chaotic Mask of the Jester. He slowly gritted his teeth to arouse their curiosity and said, "I'm the Zero Disciple of the Fire Emperor!"
After saying that, the laughter abruptly stopped.
The blue-clothed man landed before Baek Ain's eyes and shook his shoulders slightly, "What did you say earlier?"
"Tell me again!"
"I'm the Zero Disciple of the Fire Emperor." Baek Ain maintained his calmness and repeated his words earlier.
Everyone gasped and looked at Baek Ain in horror.
"Impossible, I thought it was only a rumor." The lady in a pink-white robe covered her mouth in disbelief. "The Zero Disciple. The unattainable head disciple position in the Blazed Roc Palace."
"Handsome Little Brother, y-you can't speak a random nonsense like this."
"Only someone with the long-gone Fire Roc Saint's Crown could say such-!"
Before she could finish her words, she saw Baek Ain wearing a crown of fiery red crystal with a halo-like light above it.
Everyone's eyes and mouths are wide open.
The blue-clothed man let go of Baek Ain's shoulders and bowed his body in a perfect ninety-degree, "Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness, Zero Disciple!"
"Please forgive our rudeness, Your Highness, Zero Disciple!" The lady in a pink-white robe and others also bowed to Baek Ain.
Baek Ain was puzzled by their reactions.
[Well, I didn't expect Fire Emperor's Crown to have such an effect...] Alicia was speechless by this sight.
[You're right, Host]
[It might as well become an SSS+ Grade Item]
Meanwhile, Baek Ain kept a flat expression and asked, "Since you recognized this crown, does that mean this Fire Emperor is still alive?"
"About that..." The blue-clothed man hesitated for a second.
"The Fire Roc Saint passed away 3,000 years ago. He died at the hands of Saint Race, but his descendants and legacy still live on as the Blaze Roc Royal Family and Blazed Roc Palace."
"In fact, these two are closely tied to Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm and act as guardians that monitor it 24/7."
"There are actually rumors that Fire Roc Saint wasn't from the Heaven Genesis World, and he left behind words for everyone a few months before his death."
"One day, my legacy disciple. He, who wears a fiery red crown made by my younger self, would come and avenge the unfairness I faced in this world!"
"Did he also leave behind the crown's picture or something?" Baek Ain instinctively touches the Fire Emperor's Crown on his head.
"Yes." The blue-clothed man replied positively.
"And it looks exactly like the one you wear."
"But how could you have known this one was real?"
"Your Highness, please don't insult our intelligence. A counterfeit Fire Roc Saint's Crown won't let someone enter Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm, and I'm sure no one entered before us..."
"The answer is clear. You're indeed the Fire Roc Saint's Zero Disciple!"
Baek Ain sucked a deep breath and thought, 'What should I do next...'
"Um, are you guys perhaps coming here for the Fire Emperor-! I mean, the Fire Roc Saint's Legacy?"
The blue-clothed man laughed nervously, "We wouldn't dare, Zero Disciple. Fire Roc Saint's Legacy is yours."
"We are here to hunt Rank 6 Genesis Beasts."
"If you want, we can escort you to the Fire Roc Saint's Royal Tomb."
Baek Ain narrowed his eyes, "Why should I trust you?"
Since the situation has changed, Baek Ain decided to pressure these people a little.
The blue-clothed man paled, "Please don't say such a scary joke, Your Highness."
"In the Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm, the wearer of Fire Roc Saint's Crown is nearly invisible. If we dare to harm you, the killing arrays left behind by the Fire Roc Saint would have burned us to dust."
"I see..." Baek Ain felt the Fire Emperor's Crown was more overpowered than he thought. "What is your name?"
The blue-clothed man cleared his throat and introduced himself, "My name is Chu Ming, Your Highness. My Chu Clan is within the top hundred earth ranking in Saint Blaze Heaven."
'I didn't ask for your clan, though.' Baek Ain gave him a weird look.
"Well, Chu Ming. Nice to meet you."
"My name is Lin Feng. I introduced myself earlier."
"For now... Let's talk while you and your teams escort me to the Fire Roc Saint's Tomb."
"Understood!" Chu Ming sighed in relief inside. He gave his companions a sign and told them to enter a defensive formation to protect Baek Ain.
"Your Highness, please follow me." He made a friendly gesture.
"Mm." Baek Ain is still vigilant to them and walked slowly.
