The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3747 God's Game: The Labyrinth

After watching the commotion, Lin Chen was pulled aside by Xi Yunlang.

Lin Chen looked at Xi Yunlang with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Xi Yunlang glanced at Huo Ling Shuang beside him and lowered his voice, saying, "Although we can't find out who the murderer is, it's obvious that the other party is targeting Liu Xian, and they are very well prepared, possessing a magical artifact that can counter Star Jump..."

Lin Chen's expression was strange: "Yeah, didn't we just say that?"

Xi Yunlang stared at Lin Chen and reminded him, "Although the other party has captured Liu Xian and seized his Star Chart Spirit, what if the Star Chart Spirit is not compatible? Or what if they want more than one Star Chart Spirit?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately understood the meaning behind Xi Yunlang's words. He lowered his voice and said, "You mean the other party might continue to make moves, and the target might even be me?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "That's right, I was just reminding you that not many people know that you possess the Star Chart Spirit. You need to keep it a secret and not let it leak out, otherwise you'll easily attract attention."

"Liu Xian is very strong, considered a top-tier saint. Although Zhao Tianjue is a bit weaker, he is still considered a first-rate top-tier expert. Even when the two of them joined forces, they couldn't escape the other side's capture. If those people find out that you possess the Star Chart Spirit, they will definitely make a move against you."

"You've only recently become a Saint, so your strength is definitely not comparable to Liu Xian and Zhao Tianjue. If they attack you, you'll have a hard time escaping."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Thanks for the reminder. Anyway, I won't tell anyone. I won't go out alone during this time either. I'm sure even if they find out, they can't do anything about it."

Lin Chen said this, but he found it amusing in his heart.

It's almost comical that someone who is clearly the murderer is being repeatedly warned to be careful of the killer.

However, the fact that Xi Yunlang took the initiative to remind and care about them, regardless of whether they didn't want to lose him as a "tool," was ultimately a well-intentioned act.

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "That's right. As long as we don't leave the crowd, no matter how strong the other party is, they won't dare to cause trouble here. Once exposed, they will be doomed."

Lin Chen changed the subject: "Have you ever participated in the Celestial Celebration before?"

Xi Yunlang shook his head: "This is my first time too. I was in seclusion cultivating when the last celebration was held, so I didn't participate."

Lin Chen asked with curiosity, "I heard there's a segment where the Celestial Gods dine with the various holy lands and some exceptionally talented cultivators?"

Xi Yunlang nodded and explained, "Yes, that's the time when the Heavenly God communicates with his subordinates. After all, the Heavenly God usually lives in his own temple and doesn't interact with people in the mortal world. Normal affairs are handled by his subordinate temples. Even in the Holy Land, there are few opportunities to meet the Heavenly God directly. Such opportunities for face-to-face communication are especially rare."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had a general understanding of the structure of the Celestial Realm.

The eighteen celestial gods are high above, and I am the only one who is supreme.

Below the Heavenly Gods are the Heavenly Gods' Office and the corresponding temples directly under the Heavenly Gods of each region.

Each of the gods is like an emperor in their respective region, and the temple is the institution that serves the king, similar to the Three Departments and Six Ministries in ancient times. The Gods' Office is similar to the United Nations, and each god has a representative.

The affairs of each region can be directly decided by the temples under the Heavenly God, while major events in the entire Heavenly God Realm are discussed by the Heavenly God's Office, and a final decision is made, which each region must follow. Below the temples under the Heavenly God are the various holy lands, below the holy lands are the Heavenly Sect, then the Profound Sect, and finally the Cloud Sect. As for the mortal world, there are corresponding institutions that serve the various forces. These lower-level affairs have nothing to do with Lin Chen and he doesn't need to care about them.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "You are the most outstanding and promising saint in Snow Phoenix Palace, and are hailed as the successor to the next palace master. You should be qualified to attend this banquet, right?"

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "I am qualified. What, are you interested in this banquet?"

Lin Chen frankly said, "I just want to see what the high and mighty gods look like."

Xi Yunlang replied, "It is said that on the day of the celebration, the gods will put aside their majesty and celebrate with the people. According to the elders in the sect, the gods will shed their divine power and, on the surface, will be no different from us."

Lin Chen blinked: "There's not much difference? I thought it would be much different..."

Xi Yunlang lowered his voice and said, "Before the Heavenly God merged with the divine spark to become a Heavenly God, wasn't he also a saint in the Heavenly God Realm, just like us? After dissipating his divine power, he naturally looks no different from us."

Lin Chen could get up close to the Creation God every day, so he naturally understood this. He asked these questions simply to show his curiosity, so that if he asked anything or did anything in the future, it wouldn't seem so strange.

Lin Chen looked on with envy: "It's so wonderful to be able to face the gods directly, talk to them up close, and eat together."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Each holy land has two slots. Besides the holy lands, there will be some slots that each sect will compete for. The sect that wins the competition can send two people in. In addition, there are some individual events. The winners will also be eligible to enter. If you are interested, you can participate."

Lin Chen looked very interested: "What kind of activities are they? If it's a competition or something, my skills aren't reliable enough."

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "It's not a competition. After all, if it were entirely based on strength, we could just be ranked directly. I asked the elders in the sect, and I heard it's a game."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Tell me more?"

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "The Heavenly God will create a secret realm. This secret realm will have a power suppression, suppressing all the saints who enter it to the level of the initial saint realm."

"Although everyone's strength varies when they enter the Saint realm, it is still a reflection of their individual strength. At least it maintains a general level of fairness, so that those Saints with lower strength or shorter advancement time are not suppressed by Saints who have cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Competition at the same level?"

"Yes, the secret realm is like an amusement park with all sorts of challenges. Everyone who enters the secret realm has only one goal: to get out. The first person to leave the secret realm is the winner and gets the right to have dinner with the gods."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Crossing the maze is that simple?"

"It is simple in a way, but it is not so simple."

Xi Yunlang replied, "The maze isn't just about walking; there are various levels that require you to demonstrate different kinds of strength. If you get blocked by a level, even if you're just one step away from the finish line, you might be stuck there forever..."
