If it were the old Su Xiaobai, he wouldn't even care about the world's secrets or anything else… He couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone worry about such things.
But now, things are different.
With strength now at his disposal, Su Xiaobai naturally grew curious about these unknown things.
After all, living in this world, what if one day, a big boss, or something like a great demon king, suddenly appeared and I cann't defeat it? Wouldn't that be disastrous?
"Mr. Su, as for this matter, I only know a little about it, but if you wish to hear it, I will tell you everything I know!"
Xiao Longyu said seriously.
"This is not the place to talk. Mr. Su, please follow me."
Xiao Longyu led Su Xiaobai directly to the Base Governor's mansion.
The other three families' Martial Commanders—Liu, Wang, and Zhou—naturally knew some related secrets and didn't need to hear more, but they still followed… mainly to get closer to Su Xiaobai.
With the combat prowess of a beginner Martial General, Su Xiaobai had easily killed Lin Futian and, on top of that, had six subordinates who were nearly as terrifying as he was. If you calculated his fighting strength, Su Xiaobai essentially commanded six Martial Commander-level subordinates!
Any of these six would deserve great respect, let alone Su Xiaobai himself!
In the Governor's office.
Su Xiaobai sat at the head of the table.
The other four sat around him.
On the table, warm water emitted a faint steam.
"Mr. Su, the Trihorn Flame Rhino you just killed was the first time the five of us… No, the four of us have encountered it."
"But the white ape… including this year, we've been fighting it for twelve years!"
Xiao Longyu's words shocked Su Xiaobai deeply.
Twelve years of fighting? Could it be… that the white ape didn't die and could come back to life?
"I know you might be confused, and you should have made some guesses… unfortunately, I must tell you that your guess is correct!"
"The white ape has been resurrected eleven times, and if nothing changes, we'll probably see it again around this time next year!"
Xiao Longyu's tone was heavy.
Endless resurrection?
Killing it is no different than not killing it; there are no spoils of war… It feels like a waste of effort!
Su Xiaobai frowned and asked.
"Because they come from the 'Otherworld'!"
When Xiao Longyu said this, the three other martial commanders nearby couldn't hide their shock.
"You mean… the two S-level beasts we just fought aren't from this world?"
Su Xiaobai's expression grew serious.
Xiao Longyu nodded seriously, his face grim.
"I don't know much about the Otherworld, but I can tell you with certainty that the two S-level beasts you just killed are already resurrected in the Otherworld!"
"One year later, they will return again, and by then, their strength will be even greater than now!"
There is actually another world, the Otherworld, and the beasts from it even have an immortality power… that's pretty amazing!
"Since you know about the Otherworld, why not just go in and kill the two S-level beasts directly? Why wait every year for them to come and attack the city?"
"Sigh…" Xiao Longyu sighed deeply.
"Mr. Su, the Otherworld is not as optimistic as you might think. Its danger level is extremely high!"
"Take those two S-level beasts you encountered earlier—they are just the bottom of the food chain in the Otherworld. There are creatures in that world far stronger and more terrifying than them!"
"And because of this, it's possible that the next time you see a beast, it will be something else… The white ape is the one that has attacked the most in the past twelve years in our Base, so it became so strong!"
So the beasts at the bottom of the food chain in the Otherworld can already be this terrifying?
This Otherworld was not ordinary at all.
"Even Martial Gods, Martial Kings, or Martial Emperors, beings higher than Martial Commanders, who enter the Otherworld, may fall and perish!"
When Xiao Longyu said this, Su Xiaobai's eyes glowed with light.
Martial Gods, he knew about them—he had seen them introduced on TV before. But the realms above Martial Gods? He had just learned about them today from Xiao Longyu…
So, above Martial Gods were Martial Kings.
Above Martial Kings were Martial Emperors…
"But that's not the main reason."
"Since the 'Great Disaster,' humanity has built 10,008 bases globally, each to resist invasions from the Otherworld!"
"Base 18 is just the weakest, most insignificant base."
"So every year's Beast Tide is merely the weakest, meant to select the true elite martial artists from the wars!"
"The weak are not qualified. Even you, Mr. Su, forgive my impertinence, probably do not have the qualifications to enter the Otherworld!"
Xiao Longyu said, his eyes dimming. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net
Clearly, he had tried before but was rejected.
Even the Martial Commander-level figures, those who dominated their regions, didn't have the qualifications to enter the Otherworld. This made it clear how extraordinary that world was!
"What qualifications are needed to enter the Otherworld?"
"First, you must at least reach the Martial Commander level, which I have already achieved."
"But second, you must have top-tier cultivation talent! This I cannot achieve."
Xiao Longyu's cultivation talent was high, only a step away from top-tier.
But that one step away was enough to prevent him from entering the Otherworld!
"Top-tier cultivation talent?"
Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
He had only thought cultivation talent mattered for a warrior's future. He didn't know that entering the Otherworld required such a specific match with talent!
But for him, this wasn't a big problem.
Although his cultivation talent was at the lowest rank now, as long as Su Xiaobai was willing, he could easily use pills to push it to the top-tier level—it was only a matter of time!
Xiao Longyu could do it too, but he didn't have the same terrifying advantages as Su Xiaobai, who could automatically hunt beasts and gather rare treasures…
And the most important thing was that having top-tier cultivation talent was only a qualification. Whether he could survive in the Otherworld and achieve anything was still uncertain!
"Finally, there's a third requirement: You must have successfully cultivated at least three Lesser Transcendent techniques!"
