Chapter 702 - Surface World and Inner World (4)
“Have you ever seen a divine punishment?!” Zhao Yu asked.
“I’ve seen once. The sinner was a gambler who used a contract to make a bet with someone. In the end, he broke the agreement and was struck by the Thunder of Divine Punishment until his cell was scattered! Not even a dust was left behind! He was totally evaporated from the world like never existed before.” Li Bo nodded and said, his face revealing a terrified expression. It seemed that he was also at the side when the divine punishment descended.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly. If this was his lunar base, he could have produced such a contract.
In fact, it wasn’t difficult. He only needed to use a supercomputer to monitor the entire area and create a set of contract documents. If he found anyone who violated the contract, he would directly attack them with lightning or laser weapons.
Zhao Yu even suspected that the lightning they saw might be a laser, because this thing was the cheapest to use and the effect was very good.
“What did you mean when you said that the old citizens would atone for their sins with the help of the five families?!”
Zhao Yu asked.
In his view, the so-called faith was a group of rulers who deceived the people at the bottom, just to make it easier to rule over the whole group.
Especially since he came from the solar system and had a lunar base. His technological civilization level had also reached the peak of level 3. He knew very well whether there were gods or not.
“From your look, I noticed it. Do you think I’m lying when I said that humans are born guilty?!” Li Bo suddenly asked.
Zhao Yu was speechless. He really didn’t want to listen to this nonsense on anything related to Godhood.
Fortunately, Li Bo had obviously done similar work before. He knew that these old citizens did not like to hear their history and belief. “Do you know how long you old citizens can live here?!”
Suddenly, an ominous feeling welled up in Zhao Yu’s heart.” How long?!”
“You old citizens can live for a year in the lower real and only ten years in the inner world!” Li Bo said confidently.
“Ten years?”
This meant that he had to reach the peak of fourth tier within ten years, and then find the entrance to the fifth tier camp to advance?
Li Bo’s face was once again filled with pride.” As for us new citizens, no matter how strong we are, even if we’re ordinary people at rank 0, we can live past a hundred years!”
“In fact, I’ve already reached Blood Qi Realm. Under normal circumstances, my minimum lifespan is up to 120 years old!”
“Do you understand? The old citizens can only live for ten years here, while the new citizens can die of old age…”
“Of course, I don’t mean to discriminate against you. Although there are some new citizens who look down on the old citizens, our Black Stone Town is still quite open-minded…”
Li Bo talked to himself for a while before returning to the main topic.
“According to historical records, as early as 5,000 years ago, there were old citizens who descended into the inner world…”
“Strictly speaking, we are actually descendants of the Surface World’s old citizens…”
Zhao Yu was shocked.
In other words, this place had only existed for a hundred years as he thought. Even before the birth of the God of Wisdom, it had already begun to pull people underground.
As for Li Bo and the group of white-bearded old men outside, from what they said, it should be that the first wave of people who descended thousands of years ago chose to reproduce under the situation where they had no hope of breaking through to Rank-5 within ten years. That was why the inner world slowly grew stronger.
“How many towns like Black Stone Town are there?” Zhao Yu asked curiously.” How many more towns like Black Stone Town are there?”
“512!” Although the topic had been diverted, causing Li Bo to feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, he still said it honestly on account of Zhao Yu being a King Slayer Rank 5 fighter.
Zhao Yu felt that this person was a mother-in-law. He was afraid that he would start talking about gods. Thus, he took the initiative to ask,” Then, if I reach the peak of Second Tier and want to advance, where should I go?!”
“Then we’ll have to go to the Moon City. It’s 5,000 kilometers north. Under normal circumstances, the caravan that travels between the two places only goes back and forth once a month…”
Zhao Yu understood that the big city he was talking about should be a city built around a Tier 3 camp.
Seeing that Li Bo was about to start nagging again, Zhao Yu asked a few more questions,” Then how many people like Moon City can advance? If I want to advance to Tier 4, where should I go?!”
“Yes… “There are a total of 64 large cities like the Moon City. If you want to advance to higher realm, you have to go to the State City. There are a total of 8 State Cities…”
” What about the fifth tier?!” Zhao Yu said.
“Tier 5…”
“My knowledge only until at Tier 4…” Li Bo rubbed his chin and shook his head.
Zhao Yu frowned.
How could there be no Tier 5?
He had already seen the pattern. Every eight lower-level camps corresponded to a higher-level camp.
The town was built around a Second tier camp, the city was built around a Third tier camp, and the state city was built around a Fourth tier camp.
According to this calculation…
“Is the Holy City in the center of the eight major cities?” Zhao Yu asked.
Li Bo smiled. “Are you trying to say that there’s a passage in the Holy City? It’s similar to the stairway of light that you’re taking. You can go up there, right?!” “To tell you the truth, I didn’t!”
“Many people have the same confusion as you, but in fact, the Holy City does not have a passage that leads to the another upper level. We are the end!”
The finish line?
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment. He felt that it didn’t seem like it, but he also felt that it made sense. According to Li Bo’s description, this inner world occupied a very large area. If they were on the same plane, it was almost the limit of the Earth Origin Star..
