Chapter 182: Good You Old Geezer, How Dare You Trick Me!

Yu Dafu looked at Zhou Chu and solemnly exhorted, "The God-Fallen Land is said to be the place where the gods fell. Powerful forces guard this place, and it is filled with all kinds of Spirit Barrier."

"Back then, although Jiang Chen successfully obtained Star Power from the God-Fallen Land, after he came out, his entire person was as if his memories had been wiped; he had absolutely no impression of his experiences inside."

"This must have been the influence of those Spirit Barrier. Therefore, to this day, no one knows what the situation in this God-Fallen Land really is."

"This key was not easily obtained. After you go in, you must be extremely careful and prioritize your own safety above all else. If you encounter danger you cannot contend with, do not try to be brave; just crush the key in your hand, and you can be teleported out immediately."

"However, you can only stay inside for a maximum of 1 hour; once the time is up, you will also be automatically teleported out."

Zhou Chu nodded, indicating he understood.

It could be said that those Spirit Barrier in the God-Fallen Land could not cause him any influence at all.

At this moment, he was already impatient to enter and find out what was going on.

Yu Dafu said no more; he waved his hands continuously in front of the mountain wall, as if drawing an invisible scroll upon it.

Accompanied by his complex movements, a large number of runes appeared on the mountain wall, flickering with a strange light under the moonlight.

The World Tree also seemed to be summoned by something; its branches and leaves rustled, and a mysterious power spread from the tree body, echoing with the runes on the mountain wall.

Immediately after, the mountain wall in front of them slowly opened, revealing a passage emitting a soft light.

The passage was filled with a layer of faint mist, making it appear even more mysterious.

Yu Dafu patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder, signaling that he could set off.

Zhou Chu took a deep breath and stepped into the passage; the mountain wall behind him slowly closed, cutting him off from the outside world.

The passage was very quiet; Zhou Chu could only hear his own steady breathing and footsteps.

Not knowing how long he had walked, a huge stone gate appeared in front, with exquisite patterns carved upon it.

Zhou Chu walked up and discovered that there was a groove on the stone gate that matched the shape of the key in his hand.

Presumably, this was the place to insert the key.

He inserted the key into the groove and gave it a gentle turn; accompanied by a dull rumbling sound, the stone gate slowly opened.

Blinding light burst out from the opened stone gate, stinging Zhou Chu's eyes so that he could not help but close them and raise his hand to shield them.

However, the light soon gradually softened, and Zhou Chu immediately stepped through the gate; his body was instantly wrapped in a halo of light, and then his whole person was as if dragged inside by an invisible force.

The next moment, the stone gate behind him creaked and slowly closed; the runes on it flickered a few times and disappeared, finally vanishing into the gray-black stone wall.

After a while, when the light in front of his eyes completely dissipated, Zhou Chu opened his eyes and began to examine his surroundings.

He saw that he was in a strange space; the ground seemed to be pieced together from countless tiny star fragments, emitting a soft glimmer, and every step he took caused a faint halo to ripple under his feet.

Floating all around were some transparent crystals of various sizes, with light seemingly flowing inside them, as if they contained different mysterious powers.

This was the God-Fallen Land.

It was simply too magical; Zhou Chu was filled with wonder for a moment.

Zhou Chu walked forward for a distance and discovered a tiny barrier standing in his way.

Yu Dafu said that the God-Fallen Land was filled with Spirit Barrier; presumably, this was the first barrier to truly stepping into the God-Fallen Land.

Without too much hesitation, Zhou Chu stepped into the barrier.

Inside the barrier, it seemed to contain dense spiritual fluctuations, which turned into tiny cotton-like wisps, flying everywhere like snowflakes.

Upon sensing someone entering, these wisps rushed toward Zhou Chu like moths to a flame.

But when these wisps hit Zhou Chu's body, they instantly turned into specks of Star-Light Grade light and then vanished into thin air.

These wisps should be the so-called spiritual energy, but they seemed to have no influence on Zhou Chu at all.

Zhou Chu was secretly delighted; he began to stride forward, and after passing through this barrier, the scene before his eyes became even more fantastical.

Not far away, a bridge built of pure light appeared, spanning across a lake surface that looked as if it were gathered from stars.

The lake surface was as calm as a mirror, with brilliant flowing light, reflecting the bridge and the strange scenery around it, emitting a dreamlike luster.

Just as he was about to step onto the bridge, the lake surface suddenly rippled, and a little thing the size of a washbasin, with a pair of bee-like wings, glowing all over, and holding a silver-colored long spear, rushed out of the lake and bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Zhou Chu.

At the same time, it said in a clear and slightly childish voice, "If you want to cross the Star Bridge, you must first pass my test!"

Zhou Chu was slightly taken aback; looking at this little fellow who had appeared suddenly, his heart was full of curiosity.

The little fellow's appearance was like a five or six-year-old boy, wearing a suit of golden, glittering armor, with a bright point of light on top of his head, flickering like a star in the night sky.

Zhou Chu did not act rashly, but instead asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to stop me from crossing the bridge?"

The little fellow hovered in the air, shaking the long spear in his hand, and said proudly, "I am the guardian of the Star Bridge. My duty is to guard this bridge and prevent irrelevant people from passing through to enter the place where the gods fell. If you want to cross the bridge, show me some skill!"

So it was a guardian of the God-Fallen Land.

Zhou Chu smiled, feeling that this little thing was very cute.

But to fight with a child, was that not a bit like bullying the other party? It would be a bit of an ungentlemanly victory.

So he cupped his hands toward him: "Fine, fine, fine, then I apologize!"

Having said that, Zhou Chu assumed an offensive stance and then *whoosh*—he disappeared from where he stood.

The little fellow brandished his spear, just preparing to meet Zhou Chu's attack, but he lost track of Zhou Chu; his eyes widened, and he flapped his wings rapidly, just like a hardworking little bee, searching all over the front and back of the bridge, but he still could not find any trace of Zhou Chu.

In the end, he could only shout anxiously at the surroundings, "You old geezer, how dare you trick me! Such a rash intrusion into the God-Fallen Land, you will definitely pay for it, just you wait!"

Zhou Chu, having escaped into the void, looked down at the huffing and puffing guardian as he dived back into the Star Lake; he could not help but shake his head and smile, then turned and swept toward the depths of the God-Fallen Land.

Zhou Chu flew back and forth throughout the entire God-Fallen Land and was shocked to find that it was surprisingly large, simply boundless, as if it were a vast universe.

At the same time, every time he passed a ball of light, a guardian would inexplicably pop out and point a weapon at him.

Moreover, these guardians were also of all kinds, either animals or insects, each one looking cute and harmless, like a pet.

This made Zhou Chu feel that he had not come to the dangerous and mysterious God-Fallen Land at all, but rather to a dream world that only a child would like.

Zhou Chu was astonished.

Could this God-Fallen Land be fake?
