The first thousand two hundred and seventy-two chapters of punishment
The spacecraft landed slowly on a square made of unknown deep purple crystals, and the hatch slowly opened.
"Lord Gu, the punishment realm has arrived."
Wuli's voice came from outside the door, and Gu Chen immediately stood up, dressed in a white robe, and walked out of his room slowly.
Of course he knew that the world of punishment had arrived. Before entering this world, he saw through the window the eight pitch-black and ferocious giant pillars that reached the sky, crisscrossing the interior and exterior.
Those eight giant pillars go deep into the earth and tower into the sky, as if they are holding up the world.
They are more majestic than any giant mountain Gu Chen has ever seen. Outside them is a huge protective shield covering the world, and inside, the entire punishment world is filled with a thick, oppressive and cold metal texture.
Looking far into the distance, you can see very few plants here, and more of them are strange black steel buildings.
This place is not like a world that has given birth to countless creatures, but more like a military camp, a prison under strict security, and a huge ferocious beast that is ready to choose people and devour them at any time.
Gu Chen stepped off the spaceship. Feng Yaya was already waiting beside the ship. Seeing him looking around, she joked, "How is it? Is this place very different from what you imagined?"
"There are no ordinary creatures in the punishment world?" Gu Chen asked casually.
"If you are referring to those races who live and work in peace and contentment, engage in manual labor day after day, and reproduce from generation to generation, they do not exist in the criminal world."
Feng Yaya knew what ordinary creatures Gu Chen was talking about, shook her head, and her face immediately became serious.
"There are only two kinds of people in the prison world, one is the soldier and the other is the slave."
Her words were simple and easy to understand, and Gu Chen immediately understood that although there were some discrepancies, the world of punishment was just as he imagined, a world without temperature.
"Let's go."
He said no more and walked side by side out of the square with Feng Yaya.
Wuli was a little behind them, not daring to walk side by side.
"Welcome back, three adults!"
A tall and mighty soldier stood on both sides of the docked spaceship. As the three of them walked past, a uniform welcome sounded.
The voices of these soldiers were so similar, and even their bodies were generally well-proportioned. I don't know how they were carefully selected. Gu Chen couldn't help but take a closer look.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they even looked exactly the same, with dull expressions and empty eyes.
"That's the Xingpu, the army responsible for guarding the Xing Realm."
Feng Yaya answered Gu Chen's doubts.
"Are they still alive?"
Gu Chen asked expressionlessly. He had the origin of life and death and could feel a certain vitality from these soldiers. They were not like pure puppets.
"People live, but the soul dies."
Gu Chen was silent, imagining what they had experienced.
As the three people passed by, the huge number of torture puppets kept saluting, as if this was the meaning of their existence.
When walking out of the square, the large iron thorn net in the distance immediately attracted Gu Chen's attention.
His five senses were keen, and he heard screams and howls from those iron nets. Some of the voices even sounded very childish.
"What are those places used for?" Gu Chen asked calmly.
"It's a research institute of the Ministry of Industry."
Wu Li hurriedly answered, and in order to let Gu Chen get familiar with the criminal world as soon as possible, he also specially introduced it.
"The torture beasts, the army of torture ghosts, and the torture puppets that Mr. Gu just saw are all weapons made by the Ministry of Industry."
"The weapons manufactured by the Ministry of Industry have provided great help in the expansion of our criminal world. Once Mr. Gu's position is confirmed, it is best to have good relations with the people from the Ministry of Industry. This will save a lot of trouble in the future."
Wuli reminded Gu Chen and tried to win his favor, but he didn't realize that there was a hint of coldness in Gu Chen's eyes when he looked at the iron thorn net.
She talked non-stop, showing off her erudition, and Gu Chen learned a lot of shocking things through her introduction.
For example, the tens of billions of torture beasts that almost destroyed the Ninth Realm Allied Forces were originally born in the research institute in front of them.
Researchers from the Ministry of Industry dissected different monster beasts, took out the specific blood power in their bodies and transformed them, thereby creating large quantities of torture beasts.
The torture beast has rough skin, thick flesh, strong reproductive capacity, and is not afraid of death. Many of the characteristics that can be useful on the battlefield were originally created intentionally.
As a result, the terrifying torture beast army was born, and ordinary armies were unable to stop them.
"The army of torture beasts has always been unfavorable on the battlefield. They have helped our criminal world destroy many rebellious worlds. Of course, they can only deal with small minions at best. When encountering masters like Master Gu, no matter how many they are, it is meaningless.
."
Wuli never forgets to compliment Gu Chen. Gu Chen has been practicing behind closed doors on the spaceship all the way, and she hasn't had time to get familiar with him yet.
After returning to the Penal Realm, she began to worry that the disastrous defeat in the Ninth Realm would affect her future promotion, so she made a desperate move and tried her best to please Gu Chen.
However, Gu Chen's face remained expressionless when he heard her compliments. Only when he heard how killing weapons such as the torture of ghosts and beasts were born, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Idiot, you want to curry favor with people but you don't understand his preferences. Every way the killing weapons of the Ministry of Industry are born are very bloody, and there are a lot of innocent dead souls hidden behind them. For this man, these are probably what he hates.
of."
Feng Yaya watched Wuli try his best to please Gu Chen, and secretly shook her head.
Wuli kept talking all the way, but Gu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Not far away, behind the iron thorn net, a little human girl with long blond hair in tattered clothes was resting her hands on the iron thorn net, looking at Gu Chen eagerly.
There was still innocence in her big eyes, but her body was covered in bruises.
"What are you doing standing here? I've disturbed a few adults, or I'll kill you!"
When the guards behind the iron thorn net saw several unknown adults looking over, they quickly picked up the whip in their hands and whipped the little girl hard, urging her to stay away from the iron thorn net.
The little girl's body trembled, but she seemed to have adapted to the pain. She remained silent and turned around to leave under the scolding of the guard.
Gu Chen looked at her leaving back, feeling indescribably depressed.
"Where did those people come from?" he asked after a moment of silence.
"Xingjun has been conquering all the worlds all year round. Some of the creatures in those worlds that were unwilling to obey were slaughtered, but some were also sent to the Xingjiang as prisoners."
Feng Yaya looked at the little girl and remembered something, and her eyes became a little complicated. Wuli answered Gu Chen's question first.
Only then did Gu Chen deeply realize what Feng Yaya meant when he said that there were only soldiers and slaves in the prison world.
"What will happen to them in the end?" He couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Most of the slaves in the Ministry of Industry are used to conduct various experiments. If you can survive the experiment, you may become a soldier of Xingjun. If you can't survive..."
