Within Southern Origin City, a woman in white walked slowly along the street. Her demeanor was extraordinary, fresh and refined, resembling a white lotus in water or an orchid in a secluded valley, stepping gracefully in this city, untouched by the mud.
As she strolled through Southern Origin City, the woman carefully observed everything around her.
“Although I have learned much about Qin Chen, knowing that he is a man who despises evil, I thought he was merely putting on an act or seeking fame, similar to some old fogies in the great sun buddha realm. I didn’t expect him to be truly different here in Southern Origin City.”
Walking through Southern Origin City, the woman could sweep across the entire city with a single thought, witnessing the unmatched peace and order as conflicts were minimal. Whenever there was a disagreement, law enforcement guards would appear to mediate. If there were any deceitful acts, there would be swift and severe punishment, leaving little room for corruption.
Such scenes were rare for the woman in this cosmic sea.
“This Qin Chen, it is said he has only recently taken charge of Southern Origin City, akin to the founder of a sect in the mortal realm. The so-called angel investment is essentially about investing in people; the temperament of the entire force often depends on the ruler’s demeanor. From this perspective, Qin Chen indeed has some skills.”
With the strength of the woman in white, although she could not measure sinful values, she could perceive the atmosphere of the entire city from the invisible aura of the path.
Before her, Southern Origin City, though somewhat dilapidated and seemingly weathered from recent battles, exuded a sense of rejuvenation among the people, like flowers blooming on broken walls.
“Interesting, interesting.”
With a single step, the surrounding void twisted, and the woman in white had already arrived outside the city lord’s mansion. Standing at the entrance, the guards on duty completely failed to see her.
“Hmm?”
Sensing the aura within the city lord's mansion, the woman frowned slightly. “What a unique aura. Standing outside the city lord's mansion, if I hadn't intentionally focused, I wouldn’t have easily detected this person’s presence.”
Her expression grew serious. With her strength, one thought could reveal the whereabouts of almost all the strong individuals in Southern Origin City, like the figure of Saroya within the city lord’s mansion, which she sensed clearly.
However, detecting Qin Chen’s presence required her to concentrate carefully, and she could only vaguely sense a figure beside Saroya, which startled her.
“This level of cultivation is not that of a divine emperor, yet they can evade my perception? What sort of divine ability has this person cultivated?”
With a step, the woman vanished from outside the city lord's mansion.
Inside the city lord’s mansion, Qin Chen and Saroya had arranged many matters and were leisurely enjoying tea together, relishing this rare moment of tranquility.
“My lord, this subordinate has already communicated with the clan. It won’t be long before they send information regarding the Wasteland of All Gods to me. I’m not boasting; our komodo beast clan has a long history in the cosmic sea, and our intelligence on the Wasteland of All Gods is surely comprehensive, preventing us from being completely in the dark upon entering.”
Saroya sat to the side, sipping tea while the black hole within his Inner World continuously refined the heart of the great emperor and a fragment of the ancestor of the black dragon society inside his body, making him feel quite pleased.
At this speed, not to mention reaching the end of the path of evolution or crossing into the half-step divine emperor realm with the Ink Cloud Ancient Wall and others, it was still something to look forward to.
“Truly worthy of being the favored of the cosmic sea; this cultivation method…”
Looking at Saroya, Qin Chen couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. The ability to improve one’s cultivation through devouring the hearts of other strong beings was no wonder the komodo beast clan had continuously produced strong individuals throughout the vast history of the cosmic sea. Such an external advantage would surely be envied by others.
