Inside and outside the pavilion, quiet as night, the sound of wind and bell disappeared at the same time.

  Li Luo's expression was somewhat solemn as he gazed at Master Guiyan, whose usual calm demeanor was now fluctuating, causing the surrounding heaven and earth energy to stir and directly sealing off all sounds.

  Obviously, the four words "Wang Hou Zhan Chang" had a huge impact on her, even as a strong person with a title of Marquis.

  Xin Fu, who was standing beside him, also had some ulterior motives as he looked at Li Luo. The questions this guy asked seemed to be a bit out of bounds, directly stunning the instructor.

  The princes and nobles had also vaguely heard of this name, but they didn't have any understanding of it either, because such a thing was really too far away for them.

  The stifling silence lasted for a long time inside the pavilion.

  Finally, Instructor Guan's voice broke the silence: "Is it because of your parents?"

  Li Luo nodded heavily.

  The instructor paused for a moment and finally said slowly: "Actually, the question you asked is already the core of some information I'm going to talk about next."

  "About this world's reality."

  Li Luo's three people were all slightly shocked: "The truth of the world?"

  "First of all, I need to enlighten you about this world... You know Daxia, and you also know that there are other countries outside of Daxia, but what's beyond that?" Instructor Gui Yan said calmly.

  Li Luo and the three others were somewhat bewildered, for in their eyes, Daxia was already extremely vast, so vast that it was difficult to measure, so information outside of Daxia was really hard for them to come into contact with.

  "The land where Daxia is located is called the Eastern Divine State, where there are many powers like stars in the sky. Daxia is one of the top powers among them, but it cannot be said to be invincible. Because on this vast land, there are three countries whose strength is not weaker than that of Daxia, namely Jinshi Huangting, Chisheng Empire and Shenyang Wangchao."

  "Beyond the Eastern Divine Continent, there are nine other divine continents, collectively known as the Ten Great Divine Continents, which are the roots and foundation of humanity."

  Listening to the faint voice of Master Hui, Li Luo and the others were all somewhat shocked, a magnificent and vast world map slowly unfolded in their minds.

  They thought it was a vast summer, but in this world, it is so small.

  "In the three major countries of Dongyu Divine State, there also exists a Sacred Academy, whose strength is no weaker than that of Sacred Xuanxing Academy."

  Gou Yan's eyes gazed at the three of them, saying: "Do you know the significance of these academies' existence? Why do they stand tall, why were they created?"

  Three people shook their heads in dismay.

  "Because of the Academy Alliance." When mentioning these four words, even Xīng Chāo's eyes revealed a hint of reverence and admiration.

  "University Alliance?"

  Huīnguó instructor nodded and said: "The Academic Alliance can be said to be one of the most powerful forces in this world, and its members are the top-notch academies scattered throughout the Ten Great Divine Provinces. The Sacred Profound Star Academy is one of them."

  Li Luo and the other two took a deep breath, was there really such a terrifying force in this world? The Sacred Xuan Star Academy had already been unfathomable to them, standing tall like a giant in the Great Xia, but now, Gui Yan's words were saying that even such a powerful Sacred Xuan Star Academy was only one of the members of the so-called Academy Alliance?

  What kind of terror will this academic alliance become?

  It's really unimaginable.

  Li Luo was thinking, what is the significance of such a degree of power? Is it to rule over the Ten Great Divine States?

  "You might ask, what is the purpose of the University Alliance?"

  It seems that she knew what they were thinking in their hearts, so Instructor Guan Xiu fell silent for a few breaths before slowly saying: "The Academy Alliance exists because of the 'aberrants'."

  The two words "alien" were spoken with great emphasis by Master Gui, and in his eyes, there was even a hint of disgust and fear.

  Li Luo and the other two also felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. Although they didn't know what it was, they instinctively sensed a sense of fear.

  "What is that?" Li Luo finally asked aloud.

  "It is said that countless years ago, the human civilization reached its peak. In that era, numerous powerful beings emerged, and the strength of humanity was unimaginable. However, it was precisely because of the prosperity of humanity that the rules of heaven and earth seemed to have changed, leading to a shocking transformation - our world appeared with an inverted reflection."

  "That world's inverted surface is called the Dark World."

  Li Luo was shocked beyond compare, he couldn't imagine this scene, because the human race was too strong, so strong that it changed the rules of heaven and earth, and thus brought about the emergence of a reverse world?

  Is that another world?

  How powerful is this? Were all humans enfeoffed as marquises at that time?

  "It's not a big deal that the world has an inverted reflection, but what nobody expected was that this inverted reflection could gather the evil thoughts of humanity. In the end, these evil thoughts gave birth to an alien entity that absorbed human energy and rapidly grew in power."

  "Aberrants are unknowable, untouchable, and exist in a state of extreme malevolence, difficult to eradicate. At the same time, they possess an evil power that corrodes people's hearts. These aberrants seem like plagues and viruses; once they appear in the world, they will cause immense destruction, leading to countless killings and chaos."

  "The heterodoxy was born out of human malice, yet it led to the collapse of human glory."

  "After countless years of struggle, purification, and finally, a great power of the human tribe cut off the connection between the two worlds, isolating the pollution of the Inverted World. However, this did not completely sever it, those so-called royal battlefields are actually the connecting places between our world and the Inverted World."

  "Slaughter, never stopped."

  "The existence of the Academy Alliance is precisely to suppress and eliminate heterodoxy, its only purpose being for the sake of heterodoxy."

  "It can be said that the Academy Alliance was established for the long-term survival of humanity."

  Li Luoxin's mind was shocked, and it turned out that this was the significance of the existence of the Academy Alliance.

  He felt a bit dry in the mouth and throat, saying: "Many strong kings enter the King's battlefield, is it just to resist those alien creatures and prevent them from entering our world?"

  Guo Xiang fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "The cruelty of the battlefield of kings and marquises far exceeds your imagination. As its name suggests, only strong individuals with the rank of king or marquis can enter it, possessing some power to survive."

  "Yet every time a strong warrior enters the battlefield of kings and marquises, only one in ten can emerge alive."

  A chill ran from Li Luo's feet to the top of his head, and his face turned pale. He couldn't imagine that the place his parents had gone to was so dangerous.

  "Why must you go there?" Li asked, trembling.

  "If the strong among kings and marquises do not enter the battlefield of kings, then the heterodox will invade our world, and the destruction and slaughter that will be caused at that time will far exceed your imagination."

  "Why would it be my parents?" Li Luo muttered.

  The battlefields of kings and marquises are so cruel that even the strongest cannot fully protect themselves. So why did Li Taixuan, Dantai Lan, and Jiang Qing'e abandon him and head to such a place together? Other powerful marquises fear him like a tiger, but they want to rush in?

  "You're right, not every strong warrior has the courage to enter the battlefield of kings and marquises, because the mortality rate there is too high."

  "All parties of the human race have tried not to enter the battlefield of kings, but ultimately found that if they do not send strong kings, then the heterodox will erupt and even crazily invade the top ten divine states, causing destruction and destruction beyond imagination."

  "Moreover, it was later discovered that once the number of human kings and nobles on the battlefield decreased to a certain extent, the heterodox would also erupt. At this time, only new batches of king-level and noble-level strongmen could be sent in, mainly noble-level strongmen..." Yu Zhen said softly.

  Li Luo and the three others felt a chill run down their spines. This sounded like this alien was forcing the human race to continuously send its strongest warriors into the royal battlefield to be cannon fodder, constantly depleting them.

  "Because the king's arena was too dangerous, all parties finally adopted a lottery method to select the next strong candidate to enter the king's arena."

  "This sign is called life and death sign, the sign is divided into black and white, white sign for life, black sign for death."

  "And the black token is for entering the royal battlefield."

  Huī Chù stared at Li Luo and said: "Last time, your parents both drew black lots, so they went to the battlefield of kings."

  "They didn't want to leave you, but they had no choice."

  "A contract of life and death, no one can defy, those who defy..."

  Huán's expression turned solemn.

  "In all of China, there is no place for him to stand."

  The plot is more important, so I'm writing slowly, and there's just one chapter for today.
