Nieying Heaven is home to myriad races, with passages to all major realms. Unlike other heavens, some places here offer direct access to the Underworld, Demon Realm, Undying Realm, and other worlds.
According to historical records, Nie Ying Tian experienced the Great Chaos War, when the flames of war spread across all worlds, breaking through the barriers of the world, and they still haven't healed.
So Nie Yingtian also possesses many world passages. Hearing that this place can lead directly to the Underworld, Long Chen immediately thought of Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, as well as Wutian, whose aura overshadowed mountains and rivers and whose bond was deep and loyal.
He hadn't spent much time with Wu Tian, but Long Chen could feel the deep brotherly affection Wu Tian had for him.
The two had extremely similar destinies and vastly different personalities, giving a sense of regret for meeting sooner. However, Wutian's situation was not much better than Long Chen's; his enemies were more numerous and stronger.
"If I get the chance, I must visit the Underworld." Long Chen took a deep breath. This world was too vast, and with his current strength, he seemed so powerless and insignificant.
However, coming to Nie Ying Tian also gave him endless motivation. Nie Ying Tian connects the great realms, meaning that people from the past would come one after another.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation in each major realm, Long Chen turned his attention to the human race. When he saw the state of the human race, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
He was shocked to discover that more than half of the human forces in Nieying Heaven were affiliated forces of the Great Brahma Heaven.
You have to know, this is Nie Ying Tian, and the forces and backgrounds that could establish themselves here are unimaginable.
What power did Great Brahma have to make half the human race submit to him? This was far beyond Long Chen's expectations.
"The Great Brahma Heaven hasn't shown itself for countless years. The name of the Brahma God Lord was also a title from countless years ago.
No one knows what realm he has reached now. Could it be that he has already ascended to immortality? Otherwise, how could so many forces have submitted? Although
Long Chen had realized that the Great Brahma Heaven was extremely terrifying, otherwise, with Empuda's cunning and scheming, he wouldn't have trusted him so wholeheartedly.
If the Great Brahma Heaven ascended to immortality, that would be terrifying. After all, he was a divine cultivator, and almost all divine cultivators were invincible among their peers. If the Great Brahma Heaven were an immortal powerhouse, he would definitely be the strongest among immortal experts.
"Damn, this bastard is actually this strong?"
Long Chen couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had thought the gap between him and Great Brahma was getting closer, but as they made contact, the Great Brahma only revealed the tip of the iceberg. The more he dug into it, the more terrifying it became.
It seems now is not the time to confront him head-on. We need to be careful. There is no force yet to challenge him, and it would be foolish to go head-to-head.
Long Chen also discovered that among the human elites, there were many formidable figures, including some mysterious sects and factions. Even in the multi-race Nieying Heaven, they were extremely wary of them.
Among these powers are the Four Great Sects of the Primordial Era: the four great sects of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They are almost unrivaled by the world, but their fame is so great that even foreign races dare not provoke them.
What surprised Long Chen was that the Wine God Palace also existed in Nieying Heaven, but he didn't know why Xia Guhong hadn't mentioned it to him.
In Nie Ying Tian's Wine God Palace, there is a declining palace, rumored to have turned into ruins during the ancient war.
This ruin retained terrifying laws; even Celestial Venerables could not enter. Just approaching would make one dizzy and dizzy, as if drunk, and some had even died from drunkenness outside the ruins.
Therefore, that place is known externally as the Wine God Palace, and some people refer to it as the Wine God Ruins. Legend has it that a statue of the Wine God is enshrined inside, though its authenticity is unknown.
Many people have sought confirmation from Ziyan Tian's Wine God Palace, but the palace has given no response. Since the Wine God Palace exists, why not restore the ruins of the Wine God is quite puzzling.
Besides the Four Ancient Sects, there are some ancient lineages, but some are extremely low-key, rarely interacting with the outside world. People only know their names, but not their true strength.
Of course, no one dared to test them, because those who tested them were already dead.
Besides the Four Ancient Sects and those mysterious forces, the most eye-catching are the Eight Great Immortal Families, known as the lineage of the Heavenly Gods—Long, Ye, Jiang, Zhao, Ji, Wang, Wei, and Qin.
Unlike other human factions, the Eight Great Clans are relatively high-profile, operate extensively, and have some contact with the major clans, making them exceptionally active.
The eight great families possess extraordinary strength and produce many geniuses. They sometimes befriend and sometimes turn against the foreign races, because their strength is so great that even the aliens are reluctant to provoke them.
It can be said that the Eight Great Clans represent the strong human races. They intimidate the foreign races. If a dispute arises between humans and other races, it is usually the Eight Great Clans who step in to mediate, and the foreign clans usually show some respect to the Eight Great Clans.
The Eight Great Families gradually became representatives of the human race, though only a few factions recognized them.
Some mysterious ancient inheritances ignore them, and the Four Ancient Sects are uninterested in such matters of fame and fortune, let alone get involved. With a stance of 'if no one offends me, I won't offend others,' they watch coldly from the sidelines.
"No wonder the Ye family is so arrogant. It seems they already see themselves as the overlords of the human race. As long as they are human, they cannot go against their wishes." Long Chen suddenly understood.
The most active among the human clans are the eight great families, who almost control the entire human race's movements. Those forces that can compete with them ignore them completely, which has fostered their arrogant and domineering nature.
"The eight great families—Long, Ye, Jiang, Zhao, Ji, Wang, Wei, and Qin—I wonder if they have some kind of connection among themselves.
If they were all in cahoots, things would get a bit troublesome. Long Chen couldn't help but frown.
According to the information, the eight great families are very wary of the Great Brahma Heaven's succession power, keeping their own business across.
In fact, if these forces cause trouble, as long as they use their connections and money, the eight great families will help them resolve it.
Great Brahma is a mortal enemy, and so is the Ye family. This situation is very unfavorable for Long Chen.
"Boss, the president requests an audience."
Just as Long Chen frowned and pondered, Guo Ran arrived.
"Please, hurry up!"
Long Chen said quickly. This was their turf, and he couldn't afford to be rude, so he quickly got up to greet them.
"Mr. Long Chen, we just received some news today. You might be interested in this news." The president smiled and handed Long Chen a golden invitation.
"Saint King Assembly"—
Long Chen was stunned when he saw the four large characters on the invitation.
