"No need, thatâs enough."
As he spoke, Emmonâs True Sun gradually receded.
He asked Heavenly Will about the current situation.
And learned that Hera was still lost, with no news whatsoever.
"Sigh."
To be honest, Emmon hadnât expected Hera would do such a thing.
Heavenly Will spoke:
"Come on, letâs return to congress. The Grand Council Chairman is waiting for you."
At the round table, only Levi was there.
He said:
"Iâve found traces of the Golden Sacred Realm, plan to travel afar for a while. How are you now? Is there any problem guarding Nora alone?"
Emmon replied:
"Iâm alright. I just canât wield Strength for long, but thereâs no problem with brief use. The Nora Netherworld community still lingers with power; no one dares to invade... Times have changed. The initiative is now ours."
Levi replied:
"Thatâs good."
He then looked to Heavenly Will.
"Trouble Barbarian Ancestor to go with me as well."
Golden Will should be Four Emperor Level.
To be safe, Levi decided to bring another top-level powerhouse for the journey.
The most suitable was certainly "All-Knowing" Heavenly Will.
He had fought Golden Will before and was quite familiar with its Ability.
Heavenly Will said:
"No problem."
Though its power was no longer at peak, it could still spar with the Four Emperors.
Finally, after making some arrangementsâ
Levi led Heavenly Will, stepping into Chaos Dimension.
As for the Dark Ancient Tower, it had expended too much recently and was still storing energy.
For this, Levi urged everyone: whenever idle, ten draws at once!
Wonât lose from draws, and wonât be tricked either.
Inside the ancient tower, two supreme treasures still remained unretrieved.
One was the [Void Blade], the other the [Blood Tai Sui Bone].
...
Fleshly fetus.
After the great Chaos explosion, a number of things were released.
The fleshly fetus was one, and Red and Black Mother was spawned from it.
Its form looked like a placenta above any dimension.
After billions of years, it had lost liveliness, leaving only a single Space.
No resources here, survival isnât sustainable.
Blood and Flesh Palace stood in the Void, surrounded by tired Nightmare Monarchs.
Already less than 180, with just 150 left.
As the saying goes, "even a tiger wonât eat its cubs."
But, in this Universe, that doesnât apply.
To heal wounds, Nightmare Will devoured twenty Monarchs.
The Master of Horror devoured ten more.
The surviving Monarchs were utterly regretful.
Had they known, surrender would have been better.
Better to become slaves than be food for others.
The Master of Horror asked:
"Lord, what do we do next?"
Nightmare Will answered:
"Let me recuperate for a while first. Weâve lost Giant qualification; if we go out, most likely weâll be devoured by the other three factions.
Now, our best hope is that the Abyss and Nora start fighting. The Abyss Will was born earliest, surely has foundation; if the two clash, both will be harmed.
The reason we lost so badly this time was because the Dark Ancient Tower, Sorrenâs Treasure, saved the Nora level 9 and level 10 elites countless times.
But such a function must consume plenty of resources. It cannot be infinite. After this battle, it should be severely weakened."
The Master of Horror said:
"If Abyss is smart enough, now is the time to hunt for the ancient towerâs whereabouts, destroy it, or else itâll just cause more trouble."
...
Chaotic City.
Abyss Willâs eyes were tightly shut.
Supreme Strength was searching this Universe.
"I faintly remember the location of the fleshly fetus. But after so many years, it might have changed. Nightmare Will, I know youâre hiding in there."
...
Time flew byâin a blink, ten years.
Nora Calendar Year 3740.
Hell, Black King City.
Time shows no mercy; Demon Fox Main Mother faced the final moments of her life, devil as she was, but at least she had shown kindness to the Purgatory Demon Sword, and her second sister had come to visit her.
"My two useless daughters, I ask Lord to take care of them."
Purgatory Demon Sword replied:
"Mistress, rest assured."
Because of war, among the three Demon Realm sisters, only the eldest and second survived. Now, with the help of Purgatory Demon Sword, both had stepped into Level 8 Realm.
For him,
This settled that portion of karma. After new secrecy oaths were made, the eldest also lifted the Black Emperorâs Enslavement from these devils, granting them freedom.
Things arenât what they used to be.
Hell and Nora, family united!
Leviâs enslavement quotas keep increasing, but the targets grow smaller.
Still, itâs a kind of Growth.
Mind Flayers and succubusâno use to Levi anymore. Both are just at Level 8 Cultivation; Levi sent them off to hide, far from the Abyss.
He hadnât lifted the Black Emperorâs Enslavement.
When Nora campaigns into Abyss, so they wonât be harmed by accident.
And the "Green Giant" enslaved years ago also regained freedom.
Now living on the Giant Continent, with peaceful lives.
On Leviâs list, only some spies in Nightmare remain.
For example... Pale Monarch.
This guyâs luck is profound; it managed to flee with Supreme Will.
But, because itâs in some special Space, Levi lost sense of its presence.
According to Netherworld Ancestor, that place might be Nightmare Willâs birthplace; the Mother River is searching now, even briefly clashing with Abyss Will.
Once-overlord Nightmare,
Reduced to a hunted, hiding prey.
Truly a cause for reflection.
...
Land of Darkness.
Within stardust, the giant Spider revealed its form.
"Master, long time no see."
"How are things lately?"
"Weâve taken over the territory of the former Council of Ten Thousand Clans. Here are resources and intelligence collected over the years, please check, Master."
"Alright."
On the road to Sacred Realm expedition,
Levi came to visit the big and little spiders.
He tallied up the harvest, grinning with joy.
Four kinds of Divine Iron, three divine medicines.
Twenty-six Sun Refining Artifacts, and 12,333 other oddities.
These things could no longer excite Levi.
He spread his palmâan orb of jewel-blue Dense Qi swirling.
It hovered like mist, shifting like clouds, humid and cold.
Levi asked:
"Where did you find this?"
Big Spider replied:
"My duplication found it in a tomb in Water World."
Levi said:
"Give me the coordinates."
Levi parted from the big and little spiders.
Just half a year, and he was billions of miles away.
In Dark Deep Space, a Water World hovered.
Levi stepped within, spiritual force sweeping out.
"The water veins of this entire world are a natural array; the destroyed tomb is the arrayâs centerâsomeone forged something here."
Levi took out the swirling watery qi,
restored the tomb, murmuring incantations.
In the next moment, the world began to tremble.
Vast Ocean gathered to form a giant female silhouette, towering 100,000 miles tall.
She wore an imperial robe, crowned.
All around her, springs, rivers, lakes, oceansâevery water gathered; she held a jewel-blue Bead in her palms, head bowed slightly.
"Emperor Wan Chuan greets Chaos Emperor."
Levi didnât take the Bead, asking with curiosity:
"Didnât you already perish in the Ancient Age?"
He had researched some Multidimensional Plane history, knew this was a top-level ancient strongâmaster of the way of water, possessor of the supreme treasure [Water Summoning Boots].
The cause of her demise was unknown; later, Water Summoning Boots had resurfaced. Pan-Plane stirred up a bloody storm for it, but who claimed it, no one ever found out.
