Chapter 356: The Final Secret Realm: Rivers of Blood!

A few minutes later—

More and more people couldn't resist the urge and chose to enter the secret realm.

Chen Ye kept an eye on what people online were doing. After seeing the results of many attempts, he finally understood: when the plum blossom mark heats up at this moment, it means the secret realm is summoning adventurers!

It wasn't for adventuring in other worlds.

And there was no danger.

He could exit at any time.

"Dad, people online are saying this is the secret realm summoning adventurers. There's no danger, so I'll go in and check it out."

As soon as he finished speaking—

Chen Ye pressed down on the plum blossom mark, which was still hot.

Three seconds later, his figure vanished from the spot.

In the next moment—

Chen Ye arrived in a void.

There was almost nothing here except for a massive clock hanging in the sky, counting down.

All around, there were countless adventurers summoned just like him, and the number was still rapidly increasing.

Clearly, this secret realm summons wasn't just for the Xia Nation—it was global.

"Hey! Brother Li, you're here too?"

"Yeah! The plum blossom mark was hot and I couldn't sleep anyway, so I came in to check."

"What's the secret realm calling everyone here for?"

"Not sure, but I bet it's related to the heretic invasion."

"Look at that countdown—just over twenty minutes left. Let's wait and see!"

Around him,

Voices of discussion filled the air.

Chen Ye thought about it and first returned to the real world.

In his room,

Chairman Chen was still anxiously waiting. When he saw his son return, he immediately asked, "What's going on? What's the secret realm up to?"

Chen Ye said, "It's not clear yet. The secret realm just summoned everyone to an unknown space without restricting our freedom. There's a countdown in there. I'm guessing once it ends, the results will be announced."

Chairman Chen pondered over this.

"Dad," Chen Ye suggested, "I'll stay in and keep watch—you don't need to go in. When the results are out, I'll let you know."

Chairman Chen knew his son didn't want him to take risks and laughed, "You're more important. I should go keep watch instead!"

"No!" Chen Ye said seriously. "With my strength, even if there's danger, I can handle it. Let me go."

The two of them argued for a while.

In the end, Chairman Chen couldn't win and sighed, "Fine, I get it. I'll wait here."

Chen Ye nodded and once again entered the void.

...

As time passed—

More and more people entered.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ye was surrounded by people.

Luckily, he had prepared in advance and used special metals from other worlds to make himself a Batman-like outfit. Otherwise, with his current fame, he'd have been mobbed by now.

Finally—

The countdown ended.

Everyone present received a message in their minds:

[Heretic Hunt Order!]

Head to numerous secret realm worlds and hunt down the heretics!!

The secret realm will provide precise locations of the heretics. As long as you kill a heretic, you'll be rewarded based on their strength!

Each heretic is worth at least 100 potential points, up to 1000 points!

The more you kill, the more you earn—there's no limit!!!

After receiving this message, everyone was stunned!

"I knew it, it's aimed at the heretics."

"Damn! No upper limit? That's ruthless."

"The secret realm is going all out this time. Looks like the heretics have really pissed it off."

"With such big rewards, you can tell the secret realm is serious!"

"What's this? Why is there a strength requirement to sign up? I'm at Tier 3 but still not qualified?"

"Damn! I failed to sign up too..."

"What's the secret realm's problem? Looking down on us?"

"They probably don't want you going just to get killed!"

Voices of surprise erupted all around.

Everyone was discussing it.

Chen Ye also noticed that there was a strength requirement for the hunt.

Of course, with his strength, he definitely qualified. If he didn't, then no one on Blue Star would.

At this moment, Chen Ye was thinking: the secret realm suddenly launching a hunt order specifically targeting the heretics meant it wasn't just a program executing set instructions—it had its own consciousness.

To be honest, from Chen Ye's perspective, he really didn't want such an existence to be around...

Because it made him feel insecure!

Anyone who could create secret realms was definitely stronger than he was now.

Luckily, you could come and go as you pleased in the secret realm. If he didn't want to play anymore, he could just quit and go back to living an invincible life at home.

With that thought,

Chen Ye signed up for the heretic hunt!

This rare "big giveaway" from the secret realm was a golden chance to boost strength for everyone. Even for Chen Ye, it was an excellent opportunity to greatly enhance his spiritual power.

Besides, Chen Ye hadn't forgotten that he was still wanted by the Lord God Space.

This was another problem. If he didn't deal with it early, he might encounter unpredictable trouble in other secret realms!

For example, if he was ambushed by a top reincarnator while on a mission—that would be tough to handle...

So there was no reason not to go.

[You have signed up for the Heretic Hunt. In 24 hours, you will be forcibly transported to the battlefield. Please prepare in advance...]

After signing up, Chen Ye got a reminder from the secret realm.

He didn't linger and returned to reality.

In his room,

His father, Chairman Chen, was sitting in a chair.

Seeing Chen Ye return, he immediately looked at him inquiringly.

Chen Ye didn't waste time and said directly, "Dad, the secret realm has issued a Heretic Hunt order..."

He quickly explained the situation to Chairman Chen.

Chairman Chen's eyes lit up.

"This is a great opportunity to grow stronger!" Chairman Chen said, rubbing his hands excitedly. "If I go in now, is it still in time?"

Seeing his father like this, Chen Ye knew his dad was tempted too.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can get in, you should be able to sign up. But hunting heretics is definitely dangerous!"

That was obvious.

Heretics are reincarnators!

On Blue Star, adventurers' abilities are usually pretty straightforward. By comparison, reincarnators possess an endless variety of tricks—even if an adventurer's power surpasses that of a reincarnator, they can never let their guard down.

"Dad, I think—"

Chen Ye was about to persuade his father to give up the idea.

But Chairman Chen waved his hand, cutting him off: "When I became an adventurer, I was already mentally prepared! Son, your old man is not even fifty yet! Don't tell me you want me to retire and spend my days doing nothing?"

Hearing this, whatever words Chen Ye had prepared to say got stuck in his throat.

He was right!

His father wasn't really that old—he was in his prime! With ambitions still burning, as a son, he really wasn't qualified to stop him.

"Dad, I just want you to think it through," Chen Ye could only say.

"Alright, I know."

With that, Chairman Chen left Chen Ye's room.

When morning came—

Chairman Chen still chose to sign up for the hunt order.

When he heard the news, Chen Ye could only sigh, then reminded his father to be wary of the heretics' bizarre tricks. Unless he was certain the heretic was truly dead, he mustn't lower his guard.

"Dad, I've tangled with heretics before. Not only are their abilities strange, they also possess some truly mysterious items—they're tough to deal with!"

Chairman Chen nodded, "We know about all that. You be careful yourself, too."

"Yeah."

After talking with his father,

Chen Ye reached out to Tang Zichen.

"Zichen, did you sign up for the heretic hunt?"

"Of course. I wouldn't miss this opportunity."

"Did your danger sense give you any warnings?"

"Relax! None at all."

"That's good... Still, be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back—we still haven't had our wedding!"

"You be careful too. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"

...

Chen Ye felt pretty reassured about Tang Zichen.

If her danger sense didn't warn her, it meant this trip should be safe for her.

After that,

Chen Ye contacted his other friends.

Zhao Zheng, Ren Qianqian, Cao Yu—they all signed up.

Only Shao Wenhui didn't.

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the secret realm rejected her for insufficient strength...

Wow.

Shao Wenhui was already at the threshold of Tier 4, and she still couldn't sign up?

It seemed the secret realm understood how dangerous the heretics were, so it set a very high bar for signing up.

Online,

The heretic hunt had already sparked countless discussions.

It hadn't even been ten hours since the announcement, but the topic was already number one on the trending searches.

When Chen Ye opened the forums, the atmosphere was buzzing.

"I knew it, the secret realm was bound to fight back, and here it is."

"The heretic hunt—what a direct counterattack!"

"With no cap on rewards, that's insane!"

"The only flaw is that the sign-up requirements are way too high! I'm a veteran Tier 3, but I failed to sign up? For lack of strength?"

"Heh, you think Tier 3 is impressive? I just passed the Tier 4 review last month, but I still failed to sign up!"

"Hiss! Tier 4 doesn't make the cut? Does that mean you have to be Tier 5? How many can even participate? There are only about a thousand or two thousand Tier 5 powerhouses in the world, right?"

"I'm Tier 4 and barely managed to sign up. A bit nervous!"

"Kneeling to the pros!!"

...

It was almost a nationwide debate.

Chen Ye next reached out to other acquaintances, like Ba Liming and Qin Muyin—both had signed up for the heretic hunt.

However—

What surprised Chen Ye was that after signing up, Qin Muyin felt a sense of unease...

Chen Ye was alarmed.

The two met up right away.

"Sister Qin, can you withdraw after signing up?"

Qin Muyin: "I tried, but you have to kill at least one heretic before you can quit."

Hearing this, Chen Ye frowned.

Qin Muyin, like Tang Zichen, possessed a danger sense.

If she was uneasy, it meant this hunt would be very dangerous for her!

Honestly, though Chen Ye didn't have that kind of relationship with Qin Muyin, he truly didn't want to see her die in the secret realm.

But...

This hunt against the heretics was a solo mission, so he couldn't help her.

Qin Muyin herself seemed calm, even laughing: "It just means it'll be dangerous—not necessarily deadly. Besides, when have secret realms ever been safe for adventurers? I've survived so many years already, so I'm not worried."

Chen Ye frowned.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sister Qin, if you run into an enemy you can't handle, tell them my name!"

"What do you mean?" Qin Muyin was puzzled.

Chen Ye explained honestly: "I once killed a squad of heretics. They called themselves reincarnators, and their backing was a force known as the 'Lord God Space!' Plus, that squad seemed pretty important in the Lord God Space. After I killed them, I was put on the Lord God Space's wanted list!"

"Seriously?" Qin Muyin was shocked.

Chen Ye continued, "Apparently, there's a huge bounty on my head! So, a lot of reincarnators are after me. If you're in danger, just say you know everything about the person wanted by the Lord God Space—it might buy you some time."

Qin Muyin: "..."

Going by what Chen Ye said, if she really did that, it would basically mean betraying him.

So she hesitated.

"It's fine, Sister Qin. If they can really find me, let them come!" Chen Ye smiled. "With my current strength, killing me won't be so easy."

After a moment's thought, Qin Muyin finally nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Chen Ye thought for a moment and added, "This hunt isn't an official mission, so there's no penalty for failing. If it's really dangerous, Sister Qin, once you're in the secret realm world, just hide and stall for time."

"Those heretics, like us, are sent to other worlds with missions to complete. Maybe they'll leave once they're done."

Qin Muyin smiled and shook her head, "Right now, the secret realm and the heretics are at war. I figure the heretics' missions are just like ours—they're hunting us! So hiding probably won't work, and their Lord God Space might even give them coordinates..."

Chen Ye could only sigh at this.

He knew Qin Muyin was right!

Otherwise, how could so many adventurers have been ambushed and killed in the last secret realm?

More than twenty thousand adventurers had been scattered across different worlds, after all.

Clearly, the Lord God Space was also providing reincarnators with coordinates.

...

After parting with Qin Muyin,

Chen Ye thought about it and passed along the same advice to his other acquaintances.

If they encountered danger, just give up all his information in exchange for a chance to survive.

As for himself—

Chen Ye wasn't afraid!

With his current strength, even if he met that top-tier reincarnator with Super Saiyan blood, he could fight!!

Twenty-four hours flew by.

After one in the morning that night, while Chen Ye was meditating in his room, he suddenly vanished.

Not just him.

Every adventurer who had signed up for the "Heretic Hunt" disappeared as well...

This is the final dungeon of the book...

Guess which world the protagonist will visit next?
