Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1202 Confession?

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Zhang Heng frowned deeply and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

“Last night, we did have some opportunities and gained some understanding of this world. The general situation is that in ancient times, the Chaotic Star Sea and an unknown force—I don’t know exactly what it was—engaged in a protracted super war. In the end, the Chaotic Star Sea was defeated,” Ye Qing said. “Throughout the Chaotic Star Sea, a large number of people died in the battle, and as the defeated side, the survivors were all squeezed and imprisoned in Silent Hill!”

“The entire Silent Hill is like a giant open-air prison. The spaces here may look the same to us, but it’s obvious that they’ve been divided into countless areas. And everyone in each area is trapped inside; once they leave, death is the only outcome!” Ye Qing said. “For example, this Mirror Lake, and that woman from earlier—she must be one of the survivors from the battle in the Chaotic Star Sea!”

"They can only exist here forever, unable to leave this Mirror Lake space," Ye Qing said.

"So you mean, for them, the biggest attraction is freedom?" Zhang Heng said, "You want to use that as a bargaining chip to buy our freedom?"

Ye Qing nodded.

Zhang Heng looked at Ye Qing and said, "Actually, you have another idea, don't you?"

Ye Qing squinted at Zhang Heng!

“You are now being hunted down by the Heavenly Court!” Zhang Heng said, “But it is only your talent that makes the Heavenly Court uneasy, so they want to exterminate you. In comparison, a true Great Emperor appearing out of nowhere in the outer universe would pose a much greater threat to the Heavenly Court. So if this Great Emperor appears outside, he could also relieve some of the pressure on the Heavenly Court!”

Ye Qing was speechless; he hadn't expected Zhang Heng to think so much.

He chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. Dealing with me doesn't require the Great Emperor's intervention. I'm currently only at the Domain Lord level. But if she really leaves Silent Hill, the one who will deal with her will most likely be the Great Emperor himself. And because she has no relatives or friends, she'll probably be like my master, Tian Jue—the Heavenly Court won't dare to provoke her, they'll only dare to appease her, and the two sides might even reach some kind of agreement! I don't need to scheme about these things! I'm just trying to get away!"

Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, then looked at Ye Qing and said, "We actually have no way to leave this place."

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's pupils contracted. "You have no way to leave this place? Your purpose in coming here is only to seek the legacy of the Great Emperor left by your ancestors? Haven't you thought about how to leave?"

Zhang Heng remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes, but... the extraordinary book left by my ancestor can observe all things in heaven and earth, and the universe. We must be able to find a way to leave this place within it!"

Upon hearing Zhang Heng's words, Ye Qing frowned deeply.

He paced back and forth; things were much more complicated than he had imagined!

"Why didn't you tell us beforehand!" Long Rui asked with an unfriendly expression.

“Firstly!” Zhang Heng said, “We are worried that if we tell you, you will most likely be unwilling to come in with us. In this chaotic star sea, it is extremely difficult to find people with good character and strength.”

"Secondly!" Zhang Heng said to Ye Qing and the other two, "You didn't ask, and we explained that we were coming to Silent Hill, but you chose to come along!"

Ye Qing had to admit that he was right. When Ye Qing saw the map, he felt that there was a safe place to settle down on it, so they chose to follow.

After all, as long as they have a stable place to stay, they can look for opportunities here.

Long Rui gritted her teeth and said, "We thought that if you dared to enter this strange place, you must have a way out."

“You all came here with your own purposes, didn’t you?” Zhang Heng said. “Everyone has their own secrets, and even if I said I had no way to leave this place, you would probably still have followed me!”

Long Rui was taken aback!

He came for Verratti City and the Heart of the Dragon King; she will certainly come to this place.

“Moreover… once we reach our destination, we should be able to find a way to leave!” Zhang Heng said.

“If that strange book truly contains a way to leave, your ancestors wouldn’t be trapped here. Even the Great Emperor couldn’t leave, let alone us!” As Sun Jie said this, her eyes were filled with despair.

Ye Qing stroked his chin and pondered.

"Hey!" Just then, the big yellow dog said nonchalantly, "Don't think too much about it. Since you're here, make the best of it. There are countless opportunities in Silent Hill. The energy here is as concentrated as in the Heavenly Court. Opportunities are everywhere, which is actually beneficial to you. As for the way out, just cultivate and look for it as you go!"

His words calmed Ye Qing and the others down considerably!

Indeed, my purpose in coming here is to break through to the Domain Lord level and improve my cultivation level!

Although his physical body has broken through, his path of awakening has not yet reached the realm of a domain lord. Instead of worrying about how to get out, he should first try to comprehend his own domain here and enter the ranks of domain lords.

Once you've truly broken through, then you can figure out a way to leave!

Just as Ye Qing was pondering, Zhang Heng said, "Since we've come this far, let's get this straight. Sun Jie, you're from the Heavenly Court, right?"

"You noticed?" Sun Jie asked.

“Although you have always hidden it, or tried your best to appear non-existent, the people of the Heavenly Court cannot hide their inherent sense of superiority over lower civilizations! As for me, I can see the aura; I can see every detail!”

Sun Jie did not deny it.

"I'm quite curious!" Zhang Heng said, "What exactly is your purpose in coming here? Is it really just to search for history?"

“You’ve just broken through to the Domain Lord level, so the history of the Chaotic Star Sea isn’t really of much use to you!” Zhang Heng said. “I did hear a rumor a few years ago!”

"Rumor has it... the Sun family within the Primordial Civilization, a ninth-level civilization, suffered a calamity, and the members of this Sun family are a gathering place for many historians!" Zhang Heng looked at Sun Jie and said, "You happen to have something to discuss with someone surnamed Sun..."

Sun Jie took a deep breath and said, "I am indeed a member of the Primordial Sun Family! And your guess is correct. Some changes have occurred in our family, and I had no choice but to... come out to search for the history of the Great Emperor and seek the projection of the Great Emperor!"
