The Eternal World

That place?

Zhang Chao also raised his eyebrows, what were these people saying?

"Un, this suggestion isn't bad!" The few black-robed men looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Then let's not delay this any further. Let him become a believer of the Lord Bird God!" They immediately rubbed their hands together, each and every one of them becoming extremely excited.

"As expected, these guys didn't hold back much!" Zhang Chao muttered in his heart.

However, he still patiently endured, wanting to see what methods these people planned to use to brainwash him.

"Great bird spirit, please grant us the power to let this heretic fall into your arms!" Immediately after, the few black-robed men knelt down towards the gigantic steel skeleton, kowtowing to it for a long time. Then, they muttered, "Acamoka, O Great Lord!"

At the same time, a black aura rose from their bodies and entered the steel skull.

Immediately after, the huge metallic skull trembled.

From the special skull on top of the skeleton's head, a ball of dazzling light suddenly shot out, as if an unknown substance had landed on Zhang Chao's body.

"Ugh!" Zhang Chao's pupils contracted as he simultaneously felt an enormous amount of mental energy invade his brain.

"If you believe in this god, you can obtain eternity, Akamoka!" Soon after, a deep voice resounded in his mind.

"Holy shit, what kind of thing is Akamoka?" Zhang Chao felt a splitting headache coming on, the voice was like a maggot, churning in his mind, as though it wanted to swallow all of his memories, and even his seven emotions and six desires.

"You want to brainwash me? Dream on! Even if you are the Demon Lord's Great Bird! " Zhang Chao's expression became serious, and in his mind, a burst of power suddenly appeared to resist the voice.

Helping him with his spiritual will!

As an unrivalled mental cultivation technique, Zhang Chao didn't know that in this world, there were very few things that could surpass it.

After using his Divine Sense, the spiritual control of his brain was immediately swept away, followed by complete obliteration!

A full six hours passed.

Zhang Chao's appearance, started from when his entire body was trembling, to when he was in incomparable pain, to when he gradually calmed down, as if his entire body was finally relaxing.

"Whoosh!" The strange power that had been emanating from the steel skull vanished.

"It's over!" Seeing this, the black-robed men hurriedly got up. "He should have succeeded, right?"

"Hmph, do you still need to say that? How could Lord Bird God fail? "

"Akamoka, may the Lord Bird God's glory protect me!" The black ropes on Zhang Chao's body untied as he stood up slowly. His eyes were lifeless as he muttered to himself.

"Haha, it's a success!" Hearing Zhang Chao's words, all the black-robed men calmed down.

"Wait, we can't be sure yet!" The black robed man waved his hand, took out a dagger and handed it over to Zhang Chao, then ordered sternly: "Then for the sake of the Lord Bird God, I need you to dig out your own heart to offer to him!"

"What are you doing?"

"If we dig out his heart, wouldn't he die?"

When the others saw this, they hurriedly asked in confusion.

"What's the hurry?" The black-robed man laughed coldly.

"Yes sir!" Zhang Chao dumbly received the dagger, and then directly stabbed into his own chest without hesitation. He didn't even bat an eye.

Blood flowed down along the dagger.

Then, his wrist rotated, as if he really wanted to use this dagger to cut out his heart!

"Alright, that's enough!" The man in black quickly spoke up.

Only then did Zhang Chao stop.

"Hahaha, that's right, without the slightest hesitation, you can dig out your heart and offer it up as an offering to the mighty bird spirit. This is bird spirit's most loyal believer!" The others also understood the meaning behind the black robed man's words and started to laugh.

"F * ck, you bastards, just you wait!" Zhang Chao cursed in his heart.

Some bird spirit's brainwashing technique was completely ineffective on him.

However, in order to further investigate their intentions, he still pretended to be brainwashed and used a trick to stab himself.

Although he was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to spasm, his acting skills were quite good on the surface.

"Very good. What's your name?" The man in black nodded and asked Zhang Chao.

"Shi Sheng!" Zhang Chao naturally would not be so foolish as to reveal his real name, and directly answer with that name.

"Shi Sheng? Shi Sheng, I need you to do something for me right now, are you willing? " The other party didn't seem to sense that anything was amiss as he continued asking.

"Give up everything for the Lord Bird God, Akamoka!" Zhang Chao said in a 'pious' manner.

"Mm, then come with us!" As the black-robed men spoke, they turned around and walked towards the south.

Zhang Chao acted as though he was at a loss, following closely behind.

After passing by the square and the four buildings, they entered a huge ancient castle.

In the hall of the castle four candlesticks were turned on a table. The ground was split into two, showing a staircase going down.

The staircase was very deep, and one wouldn't be able to see the bottom if they stood on it.

Everyone began to descend the circular staircase. After about an hour passed, they finally reached the end of the staircase.

At the end of the hall stood a large door.

This door was incredibly ancient and looked very heavy. The door was made of metal and there were all sorts of strange carvings.

If one looked carefully at the carvings, it seemed that they were drawn with human bones as sacrifices. Furthermore, there was something that devoured flesh and blood like a demon, which was quite bloody and cruel.

"Shi Sheng, only you can open this door, after all you are a human being with flesh and blood, different from us who have long sacrificed everything to the bird spirit!" A black-robed man looked at the door and sighed, then said to Zhang Chao: "The next thing you need to do is to enter this door!"

"Is he just someone who has just entered the sect?" Zhang Chao asked in confusion.

"Of course it's not that simple. This door is called the Door of Abandonment. The word" Abandonment "refers to truth, truth, unforeseen, accidents, and so on!" The black robed man continued, "However, behind this door is the power to maintain the circulation of this world!"

"However, these powers are already weakening. It won't be long before this world loses the support of these powers and doesn't continue to exist!"

"Once this world dissolves, everyone will break free from their bindings and be cut off from their bones. They will be forcefully taken away and sent to the underworld!"

"This way, we won't be able to continue praying to the Lord Bird God and offer our prayers to him!"

"Therefore, someone must make some changes at this time!"

After saying that, the few black-robed men looked at each other, then took out a small box from their bosom and handed it over to Zhang Chao.

"Inside this box is the magic seed that was left behind by the Lord Bird God back then. Inside the box is an unimaginable power, and with the power of these magic seed, they should be able to sustain the flow of energy within them. At the very least, it can allow this world to exist for tens of thousands of years!"

Zhang Chao thought quickly. So these pious guys were using him to do this kind of thing!

It seemed that they, who did not have any flesh and blood, would be repelled by the space within the door.

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Chao asked after taking the boxes.

"As long as you find the core of this world, you will be able to see its power. After that, you will open these boxes and allow Lord Bird God's magic seed s to enter your body. The black cloaked man said, "What's next, is for you to sacrifice yourself and connect all of those energies with your own body. Moreover, you will need to continuously channel all of the energy into the magic seed!"

"Although you will eventually die, this is also for the Lord Bird God's sacrifice, are you willing?"

"For Lord Bird God, I will not refuse even if I die!" Zhang Chao vowed solemnly, but in his heart he was cursing.

In the end, these guys still wanted him to die?

However, it didn't matter. Since the world was about to collapse, he might as well destroy all the forces in the core region that could maintain the operation of the world.

This way, he would be able to leave this place smoothly, and the people who were trapped here would be free to enter the Netherworld and reincarnate. They would no longer have to endlessly become the Great Birdy Demon Lord's slaves.

"Alright, I'll depend on you then!" The black-robed men nodded, then they all retreated, "Now, open this door of no reason and enter!"

Zhang Chao 'listened to everything' and raised his hand, pushing against the door.

The incredibly heavy door didn't budge at all.

"No, I have to use all of your strength!" The black robed man reminded.

"What lousy thing is this? You even have to go all out!" Zhang Chao unhappily curled his lips and used 50% of his strength.

"Creak …" "Boom, boom, boom!" The door was slowly pushed open by him and a white fog immediately surged out!

The black-robed people hurriedly dodged, as if they were afraid that they would be contaminated by the mist.

Inside the door, it was completely white.

Zhang Chao walked in, and the door automatically closed behind him.

"This is … The core zone of this world? " He looked around but didn't see anything.

However, as he continued forward aimlessly, he suddenly saw a figure in the distance!

Startled, he stopped abruptly and looked warily at the figure.

After looking for a long time, he found that the person did not move at all. He had been sitting cross-legged the entire time.

That person wore extremely ancient clothing. It was made of skin and bones. However, he did not appear to be old. However, there was no aura being emitted from his body. It was truly difficult to determine whether he was alive or dead.

He carefully approached until he was not even ten zhang away from that person. That person suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of bright light shone from within. He then spoke with a gloomy tone, "You've come!"
