Fang Er was stunned.
"You're talking about Chi You, who fought with the Yellow Emperor in the Central Plains four thousand six hundred years ago?"
Chi Man shook his head bitterly.
"It seems someone has covered up the facts!"
"The battle in the Central Plains is true!"
"But not four thousand six hundred years ago!"
"But forty-six hundred million years ago!"
Fang Er found it hard to believe, but then he remembered what Xi Tong had told him earlier about the Yanhuang tribe.
So, as Chi Man said, had history been deliberately altered?
No, if the Yanhuang tribe had completely withdrawn from Earth, then who left those legends behind?
Chi Man, however, was unaware of his thoughts and was still recounting the relationship between Chi You and the Wan Qu Realm.
The earliest Wan Qu Realm was merely a place for humans to exile criminals.
Not only humans, but also some unruly other races were thrown in.
For instance, the Black Dragon clan!
And Chi Man's ancestor was also one of those exiled!
The tribal chief of the Jiuli, Chi You!
That is, Chi Man's ancestor!
His crime was, war crimes!
Besides him, there were also some people Fang Er was familiar with.
Or, gods?
And their crimes made Fang Er's jaw drop.
For example...
Gonggong, for illegally mining resources and hollowing out Mount Buzhou!
Jingwei, for damaging the environment and illegally reclaiming land!
Kuafu! For public indecency, chasing after anything that moved...
Zhunti! For pyramid schemes and fraud!
Jieyin! For human trafficking!
This utterly shattered Fang Er's worldview!
He hadn't expected these legendary figures to actually exist!
And to have become exiled criminals.
Besides them, the number of prisoners held in the Wan Qu Realm was beyond Fang Er's imagination.
Considering the Yanhuang tribe had a population of over a hundred billion at its peak!
Even with a crime rate of only one percent, the number of people thrown here would exceed ten million!
According to Chi Man, there were many unknown passages connecting the Wan Qu Realm and Earth.
In the beginning, people occasionally escaped to Earth to cause trouble.
But after that great battle, Earth developed oxygen, forcing the Yanhuang tribe to leave.
Although the Wan Qu Realm was not significantly affected, for the Yanhuang high command, it was merely a prison with a harsh environment.
Therefore, when the Yanhuang tribe migrated, the people in the Wan Qu Realm were abandoned.
But the environment here was too harsh, and over billions of years, the human population here not only failed to increase but gradually decreased.
However, it was different for the ferocious beasts; they thrived here, breeding generation after generation!
This situation put immense pressure on the humans in the Wan Qu Realm.
It was at this moment that they discovered the fact that the Wan Qu Realm had been abandoned.
At first, they rejoiced, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
With oxygen on Earth, even if they could escape the Wan Qu Realm, they couldn't survive for long.
If they couldn't escape, they had to find other ways.
Fortunately, some ordinary people of the Yanhuang tribe remained on Earth.
These people chose to stay.
Some did not wish to leave their homeland.
Others were tired of their long lives.
Whatever the reason, the presence of these people ensured the continuation of the human race on Earth.
This gave the people in the Wan Qu Realm hope!
To counter the attacks of the ferocious beasts, they traveled to Earth through those passages periodically, making deals with the authorities to acquire people and expand the human influence.
This was also why Qin Shi Huang encountered people from the Wan Qu Realm by the East Sea!
After listening to Chi Man's narration, Fang Er felt his worldview was about to collapse.
These events, in his opinion, were as outrageous as it could get...
Completely outrageous!
He recalled what Qin Shi Huang had said earlier and couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that one day in the Wan Qu Realm is equivalent to ten thousand years on Earth. Is that true?"
Chi Man smiled and shook his head.
"Those are just lies to fool the humans on Earth."
"If it weren't mysterious, how could they bring people back from Earth?"
Fang Er: ...
Damn it!
Liars!
A bunch of big liars!
So, the person Qin Shi Huang met, who told him about the immortal fruits of longevity on the overseas immortal mountains, was also a lie...
From another perspective, Xu Fu's expedition to find medicine, bringing three thousand virgin boys and girls without any reason, could also be explained!
These boys and girls were likely offered to the people of the Wan Qu Realm!
Seeing Fang Er standing there stunned, Chi Man got up and chuckled.
"Brother, this is not a place to linger. Kuafu Ri Tian's kid will be back with people soon."
"Those guys are disgusting; they've perfectly inherited Kuafu's inhuman desires."
"So, it's better to avoid them. How about you come to our tribe for a while?"
Fang Er had no reason to refuse his invitation.
He also wanted to better understand the living conditions of the humans in the Wan Qu Realm.
Seeing his agreement, Chi Man grinned happily and immediately had two of his subordinates give their armor to Fang Er and Xi Tong.
This gesture greatly increased Fang Er's favor towards him.
Although the armor was large, its internal design was exquisite and surprisingly easy to operate.
In less than half an hour, he and Xi Tong were proficient in controlling the armor for movement.
The two Jiuli tribesmen who gave up their armor were carried on shoulders by others, leading the way.
Fang Er and Xi Tong followed closely beside Chi Man, heading towards the Jiuli tribe.
The twenty-meter-tall armor took strides of over ten meters, moving swiftly through the complex mountain paths.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the mountainside, where a massive cave appeared.
Following the path inside the cave, the path wound and turned.
After about half an hour, the mountain cave opened up, and they emerged through the mountain body into a valley.
Strange plants were everywhere, completely different from those on Earth.
The dozens of meters tall plants, which could be called trees, had trunks and leaves that were entirely blue.
There were also short shrubs of various colors.
It was a world of vibrant colors!
"Wow... you little rascal, how about we buy a house here?"
Xi Tong looked around with sparkling eyes, showing a rare girlish demeanor, shaking Fang Er's arm vigorously.
"Holy crap..."
Fang Er sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to stop her.
But it was a second too late...
"Whoosh..."
He, along with the armor he was wearing, was instantly thrown out by Xi Tong!
Xi Tong was stunned, and as she watched Fang Er fly away, she snapped back to reality.
She had forgotten that she was still wearing the armor!
And she hadn't managed to control her strength properly...
