When Philip looked back, he saw that Aslan had reached the edge of the pit and was about to jump down. Philip reached out and smacked Aslan to make him sober up. Aslan returned to his senses and looked at Philip in shock, wondering what just happened. “Philip, how did I get here?” Aslan scratched his head and looked at Philip in confusion. Philip was exasperated. Obviously, Aslan had been bewitched by something. “I finally know what's so scary about this place,” Philip said helplessly as if he had discovered something new. Aslan looked at Philip with lingering fear as he wondered what Philip was about to say. “This place is full of temptations, and you’ll fall for it easily if your mind is weak. What happened to you just now was the best proof. You were nearly fooled by the fox earlier and nearly fell into the pit next. You would've probably jumped down if I hadn't been around to stop you.” Philip peeked into the pit, which was a long way down. Aslan would probably die
“I suspect there’s something down there. It's probably the secret we’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look down there.” Aslan waved his hand at Philip’s suggestion. He was very scared by now. “Philip, didn't you see those people jumping to their deaths just now? How are we going to get down? Should we jump too?” Aslan said like a coward. Philip sighed and said, “You’re such an idiot!” Philip summoned a flying beast. He jumped on the beast's back and flew into the depths of the pit with Aslan. Aslan chuckled awkwardly at Philip’s witty trick. “What a great idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment. Aslan sat on the back of the beast and admired the surrounding scenery. This deep pit was so enormous that they could not see the end of it. It felt like a miracle of nature. “Look, there’s only one outcome for those who jumped down.” Philip pointed at the people who were splattered on the floor. Philip still remembered the arrogance in thei
Manta quickly returned to his senses and patted his chest in fear. He never thought that he would have the urge to jump into a pit one day. “What’s going on? Is there some magical power in this pit?” Manta glanced at the pit nervously and staggered back, unwilling to stay there any longer. Manta glanced at the members who kept jumping down but finally decided not to help after much deliberation. He was not a god and could not save everyone. It would be over if these people dragged him down with them. He would not suffer for anyone’s sake. Manta turned around and ran away without hesitation. He wanted to enter the pit from another place. He saw a road leading into it not far away and decided to give it a try. It was better to go around instead of jumping to his death. After Philip and Aslan entered the pit, they saw a big paradise before them that gave them a comfortable feeling. Aslan followed Philip cautiously, which looked a little dodgy for such a burly guy. “Thi
“Are you here for the Labeau family’s secrets?” the rabbit suddenly spoke, almost freaking Aslan out. Aslan never expected that the rabbit could speak and could hardly accept it for the time being. Philip was not surprised but looked at the rabbit with interest instead. “Oh, you can speak. In that case, why don’t you take us to see the so-called secret of the Labeau family?” Philip said with a smile. This rabbit was quite intelligent and looked very cute. However, Philip did not know how strong the rabbit was or its intentions, so he made some plans too. The little rabbit flicked its ears and signaled Philip to put it down. “I’ll take you for a look, but you have to promise not to hurt me!” The rabbit's red eyes darted around, and Philip nodded in agreement. “Well, it’s a deal. Let’s see if you can catch up with me.” After the little rabbit landed on the ground, it hopped very quickly forward. Philip quickly took Aslan with him. At their level, a little rabbit could
“The so-called secret of the Labeau family you mentioned earlier, is it here?” Philip asked curiously. The rabbit would be dead if it dared to lie to him. “I hope you can answer my question truthfully. After all, I like eating rabbits very much. Barbecued rabbit is a pretty good choice.” Philip took out various seasonings and showed them to the rabbit. Philip would cook the rabbit if it disobeyed him. The little gray rabbit trembled in fright and begged for mercy. That pitiful rabbit could not withstand Philip’s torment at all. “I brought you to the right place. Stop thinking about eating me! This is the so-called secret base of the Labeau family. Do you see the house in front? You can find the secrets of the Labeau family over the years once you enter the house!” With the rabbit’s explanation, Philip understood what was going on. That house was just an illusion as a cover for the entrance in front. No wonder the house looked a bit surreal. It was something similar to a
Some people said it was a door while others called it a portal. Everyone had different opinions about it, but no conclusion was ever made. Philip was very excited upon hearing that. Maybe that was what he was looking for! “However, this family has disappeared for many years, and it became a secret in the end. I can only bring you to this point. I have no authority to enter that place.” Philip simply nodded at the rabbit’s explanation. “Since you've cleared everything up, you may go.” After saying that, Philip walked in the direction of the mirage, followed by Aslan, who had been immersed in the story. As Philip entered that place, the rabbit smiled like a human. “Let’s hope you’re the chosen one mentioned in the legend. You’ll be in luck if you uncover the secret.” The gray rabbit hopped behind Philip, simply staring at him without following. “Philip, don’t you find that rabbit weird?” Aslan whispered. The rabbit seemed to know a lot and seemed to be leading them
Philip shook his head helplessly and continued marching forward, reaching the top very soon. The last few were quite stressful but posed no threat to Philip. Aslan huffed and puffed as he followed Philip and finally reached the top too. “It feels like we’re standing at the top of the world.” Philip glanced around with a smile. He had to admit that the scenery was pretty good. Philip was curious about something dazzling in front. Without hesitation, he walked over and grabbed the shiny thing. He looked at the thing in his hand and realized that it was a portal. The portal glowed with a golden light and looked very attractive. “Philip, is this the thing mentioned by that rabbit?” Aslan could not wait to enter the other world through this portal, but he knew that now was not the time to risk it impulsively. “I think so. I believe the rabbit will find us soon. Don’t tell the rabbit about this for the time being. Let’s fool it,” Philip said with a smile. He wanted to know
The other white rabbits fawned over the gray rabbit, which proved its extraordinary status. “So, what do you want? This portal?” With a wave of his hand, an exquisite portal appeared in Philip’s hand. The gray rabbit was expectant, but its expression quickly changed. “I’m not after it. I just think we can consider working together. I can tell you all the secrets behind this portal.” The gray rabbit was smart enough to display its bargaining chips to negotiate with Philip. Philip nodded. He did not mind working with the rabbit. He planned to get more benefits from the rabbit too. “Go ahead and tell us the truth,” Philip said with a smile. He kept the portal in his space. He did not want to cause a commotion in the outside world with this thing. The gray rabbit glanced at Philip reluctantly. “There’s a place called the Precept Continent. Of course, this is just a name in our records. There may be other names. “This portal leads to that continent. The people in thi
Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
The messenger said tentatively, “Philip is nothing but a small potato. Although he made the headlines now, he’s nothing much to shout about. We don't have to go to great lengths for him.” In fact, he looked down on Philip in his heart. After interacting with Philip face-to-face, he thought that Philip was only worthy of having a small force of his own. “You've wasted your years with me. Philip gives me a very special feeling. He’s different from other reckless young men. He’s a force to be reckoned with. At least, he’s my type. It has only been such a short time since he arrived in the world of the gods but he rose to the occasion so quickly. It’s inseparable from his personality and ability.” The messenger showed a sign of disapproval as if they should not think too highly of Philip. “We should take him down as soon as possible because of his ability to avoid any trouble. He may pose a certain threat to us if he’s allowed to develop further.” In his opinion, anyone who might
The messenger seemed surprised. Maybe he did not expect someone to refuse this treasure. “I won’t do anything for you if you don’t make things clear,” Philip said seriously, and everyone nodded. Everyone knew Philip’s character. Although everyone was tempted by the treasure offered by the other party, they knew better than to accept it. Seeing Philip’s tough attitude, the messenger shook his head helplessly and finally changed his tone. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll speak my mind. Philip Clarke, you can’t survive in this world without a backer. I believe someone of your level can understand what I mean.” Seeing the other party's sudden change in attitude, Philip sneered. He had finally exposed his true colors. Now, Philip wanted to find out their true purpose. “My master thinks highly of you. Although your individual strength is important, you’ll only end up dead or face endless troubles without a strong backer to support you.” The messenger turned and lef
Philip looked at the pill given by the other party. He was not interested in the pill but wanted to find out what the other party was up to. “My master told me to give you this pill. He knows that you’re injured. You can recover very well with this pill.” Everyone was angry upon hearing this. Since the other party knew that Philip was injured, they probably sent the killer. “You guys are shameless! You found a killer to attack Philip, and now, you want to use a pill to act as a good person. You're playing good cop, bad cop! People of the Swift family are always so disgusting. After being locked up for thousands of years, you still can't change your ways and still do such shameful things.” Loony’s obvious disdain eased everyone’s frustration, but they wanted to find out what was going on with this Swift family. “This is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We just know who wants to deal with Philip, but we have no right to expose the other party at our level, so
More importantly, this woman's tricks were quite interesting. Philip did not plan to kill her. Doing so might lead to more trouble. Besides, he wanted to find out her identity, so Philip decided to keep this woman alive for the time being. However, the woman darted away after the failed attack. Her speed was astounding. Philip watched in puzzlement as she vanished. She was not weak and could almost be regarded as an expert, so why would she mess with him? He could tell that she was human. Since they were the same kind, why kill him? Philip opened the door helplessly and saw everyone waiting to watch the fun. They had no idea what happened, and they had not heard any movement in the room. As Philip had been trapped in the other party’s barrier, they could only look at Philip eagerly, hoping to find out what happened inside. Aslan was the most eager, and he looked at Philip wickedly. “That woman is so useless. It’s only been a few minutes…” Before Aslan finished his words
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
