"Yes, you are indeed a native of the Immortal Heroic World..." The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine spoke in a half-dead tone, as if it was too lazy to continue criticizing Wen Yu.
"But the Immortal Heroic World also has a complete social system. With a social system, there will be class differences."
"The identity I’m talking about is this kind of class difference identity, and not some nonsense about being an Earthling or a native of the Immortal Heroic World!"
Hearing the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's words, Wen Yu immediately had a realization. Since the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor had left behind a backup plan that brought him here, it was likely that everything had been arranged perfectly by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor—even including the part where he was specifically targeted by demonic creatures.
It was easy to imagine that the identity the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor arranged for him would definitely not be low.
"Forget it, since I’ve already brought Tang Haofei along, let’s just continue with it. That guy doesn’t have any other faults aside from being a bit talkative..." The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine seemed resigned as it complained.
As for this matter, Wen Yu didn’t have a good way to handle it either—after all, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine hadn’t mentioned it earlier, and considering safety, bringing Tang Haofei along wasn’t a big mistake.
"Let’s see how it goes and maybe ditch this guy later."
At this point, the only method left to deal with Tang Haofei was likely this one.
However...
"You still haven’t said what identity you arranged for me?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine replied in a tone that suggested it didn't want to explain too much, making the corners of Wen Yu’s mouth twitch.
Ever since it awakened its soul, this guy’s attitude towards him had been getting worse.
...
About twenty minutes later, Tang Haofei finally ended the communication and walked back from a distance, looking dazed.
"Let’s go."
Wen Yu didn’t ask for details about the conversation in the communicator, but Tang Haofei, when it came to "small matters," simply couldn’t hold back his words.
"I really want to know what you just did."
Wen Yu ignored Tang Haofei.
"Do you know what the headquarters on the second floor just told me?"
Wen Yu remained silent.
"They said that the souls of the former Immortal Heroic World have all regained their consciousness. Aside from their bodies, there’s not much difference from how they were alive. These dead people have truly come back to life, not in a zombie way, but truly alive! Moreover, the number and quality of demonic creatures have suddenly increased. They also found several portals resembling the Treasure Land Gate, with demonic creatures pouring out like a tide. This has something to do with you, right?"
Wen Yu did not respond, continuing to hurry forward in silence.
"Since I’m closest to the fifth layer of the Heavenly Palace, and considering safety among other factors, the military just assigned me a task. I need to go to a place called Lingyun City on the fifth layer of the Heavenly Palace, find the city lord of Lingyun City, and discuss an alliance event between the Huaxia Military and something called the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. What a mess!"
With each of these new terms, the current situation took a sudden turn. Not only was Tang Haofei unaccustomed to it, but even Wen Yu, upon hearing this, felt it was oddly strange.
"Lingyun City? Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance?"
Tang Haofei scratched his head while trailing behind Wen Yu.
"What’s all this about?"
"Here we are!"
Wen Yu suddenly stopped, causing Tang Haofei to nearly bump into him.
Tang Haofei looked up ahead.
Not far away, a portal connecting the fourth and fifth layers of the Heavenly Palace quietly lay on the ground.
...
A very slight sense of dizziness passed, and the two figures of Wen Yu and Tang Haofei appeared on the land of the fifth layer of the Heavenly Palace.
