Li Qingyun was stunned. He suddenly felt that this matter might be more terrifying than he had imagined.
This was no laughing matter. Logically, Xia Yunxi alone should be enough to deal with him. Why would the Green Emperor follow along?
The Green Emperor was a plant spirit himself, so he was also top-notch when it came to life force.
Therefore, the survival rate of his items back then might have been terrifyingly high!
Moreover, after he sobered up, he felt that the life force within his body had indeed improved by a notch!
The more he thought about it, the paler his face became, and he felt uneasy all over.
Seeing Li Qingyun’s shifting expression, the others exchanged glances.
"Brother Qingyun, you haven't actually had a child, have you?"
Li Qingyun held his head in his hands, his face filled with despair, and said, "Brothers, I'm afraid there's going to be big trouble!"
"Cough, cough, brother, don't worry about those trivial matters for now. Have a drink."
"A drink to dispel a thousand sorrows!"
"Let's change the subject, let's change the subject! Daoist Bai, it's time to talk about your story!"
The crowd realized that Li Qingyun might genuinely be on the verge of becoming a father, so they quickly forced a change of topic.
Although they had been cultivating for almost 150 years, everyone still felt like a child.
To have a child while still being a child was truly pitiful.
Furthermore, it was conceived in another world.
Of course, all of this was still just Li Qingyun's guess. To confirm it, he would have to ask that scoundrel, the Green Emperor.
Their experiences together were too rich. In a hundred years, even excluding the time spent in seclusion, the events that had transpired were enough for them to talk for three days and three nights.
After chatting about everything under the sun, everyone had a basic understanding of each other's experiences.
Although they were all worlds with cultivation systems at their core, the cultures and environments of each world were different, which also shaped their personalities in distinct ways.
Take Shen Yingxue, for instance. When they used to chat, she would usually not dare to interrupt, but now she had transformed into a social butterfly, laughing the loudest.
A hundred years of experience had allowed everyone to grow considerably.
Xiao Long, in particular, although much more mature now compared to before, had become taciturn and less cheerful.
Back then, he was still like an elementary school student, constantly mumbling about surpassing Li Qingyun and winning Xiao Mei back.
The topic of the thirteenth immortal cultivation world was also the most somber. Many events could not be described in words. A casual phrase like "She was killed by the Sky Slayers" could hide many tragic stories.
As for Su Tianye's story, it was much more authentic when recounted by eyewitnesses like Wang Teng and Zhuang Hongxia, a local cultivator, than the versions circulating outside.
Everyone looked around at their surroundings, peaceful and serene.
Returning here from other worlds felt like coming home, as all the scheming and plotting was far away from them.
They absolutely could not let this world be destroyed like the thirteenth immortal cultivation world.
After chatting for several days in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, everyone left, still wanting more.
Time was precious to them.
They didn't know how Chu Yang would arrange for them later, but since it was free rein now, they naturally decided to visit the cultivation era plaza first.
In the more than half a year since they had last been there, the plaza had more than doubled in size compared to before they went to the cultivation worlds.
Besides the entrances to those few secret realms and iconic structures like the Talent Appraisal Stone and the Ascension Tower, a martial arena had also been established.
Any personal grudges could be settled on the stage.
As long as no one died, it was fine. With Boss Xue's pills, the injuries of these junior cultivators could be healed relatively easily.
However, they only encouraged sparring, not excessive force.
If they wanted to experience excitement, they could go to the Demon Spirit Realm.
The Demon Spirit Realm was now open for free. There were still demonic beasts, and the remaining ones had become fiercer than before.
Many cultivators seeking thrills would enter the Demon Spirit Realm for exploration, only to find themselves disappearing into it.
Li Qingyun and his group, with the lowest cultivation being the peak of the Void Returning realm, found it difficult for reporters to surround them for forced interviews as they had before. With a flash, they were gone.
"Huh? Is this the Doomsday Reenactment?"
Everyone stared at the large screen, which had previously been used to broadcast their trials.
Since the Doomsday Reenactment was still in cooldown, and new battles would be generated the day after tomorrow, it was now showing the battles of all the Blue Star cultivators who had participated in the previous trial.
For those like Li Qingyun and Bai Nianchen who had not experienced fighting the Sky Slayers firsthand, these scenes were quite interesting.
However, the participants in the trial on the screen looked rather miserable.
Wang Teng's expression had turned somewhat grim. Apart from the cultivator armies led by the Sea Dragon King, the others were simply there to play, to experience being repeatedly thrashed.
"Brother Teng, what do you think?"
"There's no fighting spirit at all. Even those disciplined cultivator armies were just mechanically carrying out their tasks. If they were to go to the battlefield like this, I can only say, they would surely lose!"
The word "surely lose" was spoken with such finality that everyone looked at Wang Teng in shock.
Zhuang Hongxia also nodded with a solemn expression, saying, "In the Kingdom of Hope, even when we knew we would die, we could at least kill in such a way that the Sky Slayers didn't dare to face us easily. When we went out hunting, even facing Sky Slayers with higher cultivation, they didn't dare to confront us."
Luo Xiaowei also nodded, saying, "Our Ice Sword mercenary group has always been a nightmare for the Sky Slayers. Moreover... I've also been to the front lines, and I discovered that momentum is the most important thing. When our first wave of attacks ignited the passion of all the cultivators, it was basically a great victory."
As they watched the scenes on the screen and discussed, Chu Yang's figure appeared behind them.
"Then what do you think? How should we raise the fighting spirit of our cultivators?"
Everyone was startled by Chu Yang's sudden appearance.
"Brother Xian..."
"Don't be nervous. I completely agree with what you're saying, and I myself have never fought against the Sky Slayers. You all have more say in this matter."
The group exchanged glances, and then Wang Teng asked, "Can we participate in the next Doomsday Reenactment?"
"Of course, you can. You have to participate even if you don't want to."
Wang Teng grinned and said, "Then it's easy. I'm good at igniting fighting spirit. And... this Doomsday Reenactment shouldn't be unbeatable, right?"
"This is a historical reenactment of a battle that humanity has lost. You will be introduced as new factors. The impact you create depends on your performance. If you can bring about a victory, I will enhance your magical artifacts with the Human Emperor Cauldron."
