In the blink of an eye, thousands of years had passed.
Under Gu Chuan's control, the flow of time in many secret realm worlds remained incredibly fast. Every second that passed in the outside world equated to an unimaginably long time within these secret realms.
Many secret realm worlds had given birth to countless creatures, leading to the rise of numerous powerful beings and the formation of brilliant histories, one after another.
Although, to the heavens and the myriad worlds, these secret realm worlds were relatively new, within them, countless epochs had already passed. They had experienced one catastrophe after another, and many powerful individuals had emerged—some even reaching the rank of Saints.
Of course, only someone like Gu Chuan, possessing immeasurable energy, could control the time flow of so many secret realm worlds simultaneously. If it were an ordinary Primordial Chaos Saint, their energy would have been exhausted long ago.
"Well, it's about time."
At this moment, Gu Chuan sensed that the indigenous life forms in these secret realm worlds had matured. There was no longer a need to maintain such an accelerated time flow, as it consumed an enormous amount of energy.
Even for him, it was somewhat exhausting.
Having achieved his goal, he halted the acceleration, synchronizing the time flow of these secret realm worlds with that of the heavens and myriad worlds.
"Now, it's time to inform the gods."
Gu Chuan stroked his chin. After all, he had not created these secret realm worlds solely to cultivate geniuses but also to train the gods.
With that thought, he cast the Voice of the Great Dao, summoning the gods.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, many gods heard Gu Chuan's command. Regardless of what they had been doing, they rushed over, filling the Chaos Void with their overwhelming presence.
"City Lord."
The gods bowed respectfully before Gu Chuan.
"Very well, you arrived quickly. This is not a major event, but I have created numerous secret realm worlds."
Gu Chuan stood with his hands behind his back. "These secret realm worlds contain countless treasures, all of which I have brought back from the world beyond chaos. They are extremely rare and will be of great benefit to the gods."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the gods were shaken to their cores. The amount of information revealed in those few sentences was simply overwhelming.
The fact that Gu Chuan could create secret realms was not surprising—after all, he had already created nine trillion worlds. A few secret realms were insignificant in comparison.
However, the key information lay in his last words: "The world beyond chaos."
What did that mean?
Had Gu Chuan left the Chaos Universe and returned with treasures from an unknown realm?
If so, what was this world beyond chaos? And what kind of treasures did it contain?
The implications were mind-boggling, leaving them momentarily stunned.
"But you must be careful."
Gu Chuan continued, **"These secret realm worlds are not without danger. I have placed many creatures from beyond chaos inside them, and their strength is terrifying.
"If you are careless, you may be killed in an instant. Whether you choose to enter these secret realms in search of treasures is up to you."**
"This…!"
The gods were even more astounded. Creatures from beyond chaos?
What kind of existence were they? Were they on par with End Beings? Or something even more terrifying?
At this moment, their perception of Gu Chuan's power was completely shattered. They had already assumed he was unimaginably strong, but every time, he exceeded their wildest expectations.
Of course, they did not doubt his words. Gu Chuan had no reason to deceive them. If he said the secret realms were dangerous, then they truly were.
Still, they understood his true intention: he wanted to temper them.
"Furthermore, I have set up countless restriction formations within these secret realms. Ordinary methods cannot be used to enter them. The only way in is through the Secret Realm Token, which I have personally refined."
Gu Chuan's expression turned serious. **"If you want to enter, you must refine these Secret Realm Tokens. Once refined, you can use them to escape if you encounter danger.
"Additionally, these secret realm worlds were created not only for your training but also for the younger generations. After entering, you may classify their difficulty levels and issue missions accordingly."**
With a wave of his hand, Gu Chuan threw out numerous Secret Realm Tokens.
At the same time, he explained how to refine them, ensuring that future participants would not need his direct involvement.
"Yes, City Lord!"
The gods respectfully accepted the Secret Realm Tokens.
In the next moment, Gu Chuan vanished from sight.
Only after he left did the gods let out a sigh of relief. His mere presence had been suffocating, and none of them had dared to breathe too loudly.
"Secret realm worlds…? These were personally created by the City Lord? What kind of treasures lie within them?"
A god examined the Secret Realm Token in his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Treasures from beyond chaos! If even the City Lord acknowledges their value, they must be unimaginable. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Another god clenched his fists.
"It won't be that easy."
A third god spoke with a grave expression. **"Didn't you hear the City Lord? He has placed creatures from beyond chaos inside. If they are truly as terrifying as he claims, they might be able to kill us instantly.
"If we want these treasures, we must be prepared to risk our lives."**
"No matter the risk, I have to see it for myself. Without risk, there is no reward. Creatures and treasures from beyond chaos… I can't wait!"
One particularly eager god tightened his grip on his Secret Realm Token and immediately entered.
Whoosh!
"Nine-Headed God King, you're eager to explore because of your exceptional survival abilities. But I won't lose to you!"
Another god followed suit.
"Our strength is inferior to the God Kings. Should we form a team?"
"Agreed. It's safer in a group. We shouldn't take unnecessary risks."
"However, the number of people allowed per secret realm world is limited."
"That's fine. We're just going in to gather information. If we sense danger, we leave immediately."
The gods discussed among themselves, their curiosity growing.
One by one, they entered the secret realm worlds, eager to uncover their mysteries.
Whatever awaited them inside—whether riches or peril—was something they would soon discover.
