"Well prepared this time?"

Tang Chen asked, he pronounced the word "this time" quite heavily, obviously hearing more information from the words of the alliance leader.

The alliance leader hesitated for a moment, nodded, and replied with a soul sense transmission: "That's right, this is not the first time. The war between us and the soul beasts is about once every hundred years, and now that more than 100,000 years have passed, we have fought a total of one thousand and seven times, and this is the one thousand and eighth. ”

Listening to the words of the alliance leader, Tang Chen was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, it had been more than 100,000 years! This secret realm had actually existed for more than 100,000 years! Moreover, the army of humans and soul beasts had fought here more than a thousand times, and the outside world had never heard of it!

Tang Chen glanced at the Terran powerhouses on the periphery, all of them were Star Emperors, there were at least more than three thousand people, and he was surprised in his heart.

"How can there be so many Star Emperors in the Star God Continent? According to the data, isn't there only more than a hundred Star Emperors in the Human Race? This is too far apart, right?"

Tang Chen thought secretly, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, if the data recorded in the data was only slightly different from the actual situation, he could understand it, but now this discrepancy was too terrifying, besides, among the more than three thousand people here, most of them were still peak Star Emperors, which was even more unacceptable.

"Aren't they soul beasts changing?......"

Thinking of this, Tang Chen couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, if this was the case, then they would be in danger, he might be able to barely support it for a while with various means, but the other people of the Shanhe Sect and the Xuanyi Sect would definitely be unable to escape death.

"What should I do?"

Tang Chen's mind turned sharply, trying to think of a way to deal with it, he originally wanted to use the soul sense transmission to alert the other people of the Mountain and River Sect and the Xuanyi Sect, but he was afraid that they would be too frightened when they learned of the situation, so as to startle the snake.

However, he thought again: "However, if they are really soul beast changes, then what is the purpose of them finding a group of lowly disciples like us? What other use do we have for them? It seems that there is no ......?"

After thinking for a while, Tang Chen still didn't know why, so he asked the alliance leader, "Senior, why did you have a war with the soul beast army?"

The alliance leader thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and replied, "This matter has to start with the Wasteland Treasure Realm falling to the Star God Continent 100,000 years ago. I remember ......"

Hearing this, Tang Chen's heart couldn't help but be shocked again.

"The alliance leader said, 'Remember that time'! Doesn't this mean that the alliance leader is at least 100,000 years old! How is this possible, isn't the Star Emperor's lifespan only 1,600 years old at most? How can he be 100,000 years old?"

Tang Chen tried his best to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, and tried to ask: "Senior, did you listen to what your predecessors said about this, or did you see it from the information? Why haven't I heard of it......?"

The alliance leader looked at Tang Chen, he finally understood why this young man was a little distracted just now, so he smiled and replied, "I personally experienced this incident. ”

After a pause, he continued, "You should be surprised why I'm over 100,000 years old, right? Actually, strictly speaking, I'm not human, and neither of them are human. ”

"Huh?!"

Tang Chen couldn't help but blurt out exclaimed, and his body instinctively made a defensive posture, but he quickly regained his composure, because he realized that the alliance leader didn't seem to have malicious intent, otherwise, how could he blow himself up?

Seeing that Tang Chen had adjusted his mentality so quickly, the alliance leader couldn't help but flash a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and asked, "I don't know if you've heard that after a person dies, he will exist in the state of a star soul?"

Tang Chen nodded silently, indicating that he knew. His father is now in his Soul Suppression Tower in the state of a Star Soul, how could he not know this, if it is about the level of understanding of this, in the Star God Continent, I am afraid that there are not many people who know better than him.

The alliance leader looked at Tang Chen in surprise, he really didn't expect that Tang Chen would even know this.

In fact, in the Star God Continent, people believe that "people die like lights going out", believing that after people die, everything will turn into nothingness and nothing will be left. Because of this, when Tang Chen wanted to resurrect his father, his fourth uncle and grandfather would question and oppose it like that.

Tang Chen was not stupid, but very smart, from the alliance leader's questioning, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately asked, "You don't want to tell me that you are all in the state of star souls?"

The alliance leader nodded and replied, "We are indeed all in the state of star souls, so we can survive for 100,000 years. ”

Tang Chen shook his head and said, "Impossible, after a person dies, the star soul will dissipate quickly, it is impossible to exist in the state of the star soul for a long time, and it is impossible to retain the strength before death!"

"In the outside world, it's really not, but here, it's okay. The alliance leader said.

Tang Chen still didn't believe it, and said, "I've seen the star souls of the dead people here, but they all turned into desolate crystals in the end, and they didn't survive like you said. ”

The alliance leader glanced at Tang Chen in surprise again, he didn't expect Tang Chen to even discover this secret, so he explained: "Here, only those whose strength has reached the Star Emperor realm can survive after death, and those below the Star Emperor will be able to turn into desolate crystals. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Since you already know this secret, then I won't hide anything, in fact, the main purpose of arranging for the disciples of the Star King and the Star General to enter here regularly for trials is to use the star souls after their death to condense the desolate crystals. ”

Hearing this, Tang Chen couldn't help but snort coldly in dissatisfaction, he had actually guessed this purpose, but he didn't know why people did it.

The alliance leader didn't seem to notice Tang Chen's dissatisfaction, and then said: "The reason why we want to condense the desolate crystals is to extract the soul power of this realm, so as to slow down the speed at which the soul beasts gain soul power, the less soul power they obtain, the growth of their strength will naturally slow down."

Coupled with our continuous war with them, weakening their strength, we were able to control their power below a level, making them powerless to break through the defenses and break into the Star God Continent. ”

At this time, Tang Chen finally understood what the secret hidden in the Wasteland Treasure Realm was, although there were still many doubts, but the most fundamental thing, he already knew.

He was originally very dissatisfied with the practice of letting his disciples turn into desolate crystals, but after listening to the words of the alliance leader, his feelings became very complicated, and he didn't know what to think of this practice, the purpose of them was not out of selfish considerations as he thought at the beginning, but for the survival and continuation of the entire Star God Continent, from this point of view, it seemed understandable to do so.

However, why didn't they say anything? Why didn't they let everyone choose for themselves? If everyone knew that sacrificing themselves could protect the entire Star God Continent, perhaps many people would voluntarily sacrifice themselves?

"Maybe they have said it explicitly, but the effect is not ideal...... Tang Chen thought.
