Seemingly aware of Qin Chen's confusion, Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable smiled and said, “Otherwise, although Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable is powerful, he is still just a Heaven Venerable. How could he create such a terrifying secret realm? Even the Supreme would not dare to easily enter, because this place is itself a mysterious forbidden area made by ancient craftsmen. The headquarters secret realm was built based on that.”
As Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable spoke, he led Qin Chen and the others deeper, and along the way, countless palaces stood tall.
“How many residents are there on Artifact God Island?”
Qin Chen asked curiously, as there were too many palaces. Are there really that many powerful beings in Heavenly Work?
“There are many residents here.” Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable replied, “In addition to human race refiners, as long as they are refiners from the Human Race Alliance, they can join Heavenly Work. However, there are many restrictions for outsiders entering this place.
Refiners are different from others; they are wholeheartedly devoted to refining. For countless years, many refiners have secluded themselves here, contributing to Heavenly Work, so the number here is not something an ordinary force can match.
Because of this, the status of Heavenly Work is able to surpass other top human race forces like Star God Palace and Void Temple.”
“What you see here may be some elders and prodigies of my Heavenly Work, and you might also encounter some ancient relics passed down from ancient times.”
“In the past, the number of powerful beings in the headquarters secret realm of Heavenly Work was even greater. However, over endless years, Heavenly Work has suffered invasions from forces like the Demon Tribe, attempting to destroy us. Many fell during those times, and only by luck did the headquarters secret realm survive.”
“But even now, the Demon Tribe has not given up on their ambition to destroy our Heavenly Work headquarters secret realm, and they have even sent spies into our Heavenly Work headquarters.”
Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable said coldly.
“Spies?”
Qin Chen and the others were startled.
“Indeed. It is extremely difficult to invade our Heavenly Work headquarters from the outside. Only by taking action from within is there a possibility of destroying the origin of flame in the headquarters secret realm. Historically, several disasters have erupted from within. In fact, the origin of flame in our Heavenly Work was much stronger, but it weakened significantly during those two disasters.”
Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable sighed, “This is also why you have made such great contributions this time. Fortunately, with Elder Gu Xu and their strength, they cannot destroy the origin of flame. Otherwise, they might have acted long ago.”
While conversing, Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable pointed around and said, “You can take a good look here. In the future, you will also have the hope of building your own palaces here. However, the size and position of the palaces are crucial; someone will inform you later.”
Qin Chen, Venerable True Word, and Radiant Light Saint Master nodded. They listened carefully and could tell that Ancient Craftsman Heaven Venerable was not directly taking them to the main hall but was introducing them to everything here.
Many of the things here were completely unknown to Venerable True Word, who had previously visited this place.
Qin Chen finally understood why even the Ancient Holy Tower knew there were many spies in Heavenly Work; it turned out that there had been several disasters that erupted here in the past.
After all, Heavenly Work gathers many refiners from the Human Race Alliance in the universe. Many of these were not nurtured from a young age by Heavenly Work.
For instance, people like Qin Chen came to Heavenly Work by selection from Palace of the Vast Cold. Who knows if spies would mix in?
Originally, Heavenly Work was quite pure, but after the war between humans and demons, the Human Race Alliance had a huge demand for refiners, which is why they opened the entry to refiners from the Myriad Races.
