Chapter 1476: New structure

“The Imperial Dark Tribe has followed him. Does it mean the God-blessed Mainland has merged with that new star area too?” Adele cried ear-piercingly.

“Yeah, right! The God-blessed Mainland is right next to the Ancient Demon Continent.” Blood Devil explained.

“Devour is swallowing the Ancient Demon Continent. Once it is finished, it will continue with the God-blessed Mainland. The Ancient Demon Continent and the God-blessed Mainland are parts of Desolate. After Devour’s done with it, I wonder what earth-shaking transformation would happen to the Desolate Territory,” Ming Hao wore a grimace.

“What about the other great star area?” God Lord Brian shouted.

Yang Tian Emperor looked at him oddly. “The center of that star area is the Ancient God Star Area. The Ancient God Star Area has merged with the Fantasy Sky Star Area, Broken Hall’s star area, Heavenly River Temple’s star areas, and dozens of major star areas the God Clan has conquered. It’s the biggest star area now. The God Clan, the Tsunami Chamber of Commerce, the Broken Hall, and the Heavenly River Temple manage that inter-star-area. They worship Goddess Mother, and Tian Xie is their spokesman. The Four Great Heavenly Kings also serve the Goddess Mother. At this moment, they’re the strongest force in this sea of stars.”

The God Lord paled, his eyes burning with a flame of wrath.

“Devour is eroding the Ancient Demon Continent while Hui’s attacking the Ancient God Continent. Seems the two Absolute Beginning creatures have eaten Desolate’s clones throughout the recent one hundred years.” DeCarlos sighed.

The group of warriors from the space basin returning to the Grace Mainland looked grave when they understood the current situation of Desolate Territory. A black cluster of clouds shadowed their souls, suffocating them. It was the threat from the two Absolute Beginning creatures.

Hui and Devour were the two existences at the same level as Desolate. Because of many reasons, the two great Absolute Beginning creatures had been dormant for so many years. As they had finally awakened, they wouldn’t want to stay quiet anymore. They would raise a storm in Desolate Territory, stirring up the entire universe.

“Why have so many star areas joined together?” Xuan He was panic-stricken. “It was just a short period of one hundred years. How could Desolate Territory change so much? What happened after all?”

“As the star areas are changing greatly, I’m afraid Desolate is losing its control. Desolate’s losing its supreme power over its own Territory. It’s not a good sign,” Ming Hao remarked.

“Where’s Cang Yun?” Azure Dragon wore a cold face, looking at the members of the Heavenly Monster Tribe. He asked Hugo, “The connection I lay on him is gone. Has something bad happened to him?”

Azure Dragon had high expectations from Cang Yun. He worried that the latter would be killed, so he had laid a wisp of his Soul Consciousness on him to get updated with his situation.

During the time he had wandered in the chaotic space basin, because Desolate was closed, he couldn’t sense Cang Yun’s commotions.

Today, as he had entered Desolate Territory once again, he should have been able to find Cang Yun easily with his realm.

However, the connection was gone.

“Cang Yun is dead,” Hugo stooped, not daring to look at him.

“How did he die?” Azure Dragon was enraged.

“Cang Yun had a dispute with Ghost Hunter. They burst out fighting furiously, and Ghost Hunter killed him in that fight. He...Ghost Hunter had swallowed him.” Hugo remembered the old story, causing his face to panic. The other members of the Heavenly Monster Tribe who came with him also had a grimace.

It seemed they didn’t want to recall that incident.

“Ghost Hunter swallowed him? How could it happen?” Shi Yan was also panic-stricken.

“It’s true. Ghost Hunter’s competence has been increasing rapidly and vigorously. It seems like he would never stop growing.” Hugo winced. “That year, you had spent a lot of efforts on Ghost Hunter. You wanted him to become the next Chief of the Heavenly Monster Tribe. Cang Yun was... discontented, apparently.”

Holy Beast Azure Dragon went numb, his face bitter. “I was wrong. I should have predicted their conflict. Too bad I wasn’t here. Otherwise, I could have stopped them.” Pausing for a while, he suddenly remembered him, shouting, “Where’s Ghost Hunter?”

“Missing...” Hugo shook his head, “After he had swallowed Cang Yun, we tried to capture him and wait until you came back to solve the situation. But, his animal instinct burst out, and he escaped the Grace Mainland. We haven’t seen him ever since. No one knows where he is.”

“Missing...”

Azure Dragon was baffled. He was shocked, not knowing how to deal with this.

“We bid farewell here.” God Lord Brian resumed his cold, arrogant appearance after keeping silent for a long time. He nodded at Shi Yan and Ming Hao, but didn’t regard anybody else. He flew out of the Grace Mainland, turning into a jet of light and zooming away quickly.

“Xuan He, I’m going to the blood sea forbidden land. What about you guys?” Ming Hao turned to Xuan He and Frederick.

“Of course, we have to go back there and check. We want to observe that Wederson,” said Xuan He.

“Our Imperial Dark Tribe has submitted to him. I also want to go there and see. I can’t believe that he’s the one Xuan Shan had summoned from outer space.” Adele sighed.

“I want to go with them,” Audrey’s clear eyes looked at Shi Yan, who gave her a slight nod.

“You’re not going to the blood sea forbidden land?” Ming Hao was surprised.

“To me, my family and friends on the Grace Mainland are more important than anything else. Until now, I’ve never been interested in being the master of the Bloodthirsty Force. I am used to working alone. I don’t have the talent to direct a force.” Shi Yan thought and then smiled. “Ming Hao, you’re at the Peak of Immortal Realm, just one step away from the Territory Ancestor Realm. I think it wouldn’t be a problem when you go back there with Xuan He and Frederick, as long as you don’t rebel against Devour...”

“At your current realm, I can’t force you anymore. Stay here as you wish,” Ming Hao didn’t want to talk him into this.

God Lord Brian, Ming Hao, Xuan He, Frederick, Audrey and the Imperial Dark Tribe experts left the Grace Mainland immediately. As Ming Hao was a master in Space power Upanishad, he created many space passages after they had leaped up. Shortly after, their auras disappeared.

“What about you guys?” Shi Yan turned to DeCarlos.

“I’m going to see if I can find Desolate. I want to check its brain.” DeCarlos looked pensive. “I can feel that Desolate is right in this star area. I know it has to mind the change of the sea of stars more than anybody else. I want to pry and see what it thinks about this.”

“Sounds good,” Shi Yan nodded.

With that, DeCarlos and Lei Di left the Grace Mainland as well. Shortly after, only Holy Beast Azure Dragon stayed.

The Grace Mainland was the ancestral land of the Heavenly Monster Tribe, and Azure Dragon was one of the holy ancestors of this tribe. He had to stay here and protect the Heavenly Monster Tribe. He needed to use the force of the tribe and his power to find Ghost Hunter.

He thought that Ghost Hunter was stronger than Cang Yun, so he was more suitable to become the next Chief of the Heavenly Monster Tribe.

“Shi Yan, what happened? Why had you guys disappear for one hundred years?” After all those people had left, Xia Xin Yan’s eyes showed her deepest affection while asking. Yang Tian Emperor, Blood Devil, Leona, and Fei Lan looked at him as well, waiting for his explanation.

“It’s a long story.”

Behind the mountain in the Immortal Island, Shi Yan forced a smile, telling the others his experiences. He met Hui in the chaotic space basin, who defeated him and then sent him to the Sea Domain of Nihility. Shi Yan told them every detail of the story.

The ones who stayed here were all his friends and family. Shi Yan trusted them, so he didn’t need to conceal things.

They listened to what he had experienced during one hundred years and sighed in fear. They were touched when they heard about the marvels of the Sea Domain of Nihility, and the intimidating warriors there.

It was the first time they knew that Desolate Territory was just one of the hundreds of thousands of territories; it was just a drop in the sea.

However, they were astounded when they found that Shi Yan had reached the Second Sky of Immortal Realm. At his age, it was incredible as he could break through from the Incipient God Realm to the Second Sky of Immortal Realm in just one hundred years. People felt minute compared to him, knowing that their realm was too low.

Shi Yan talked for a long time. He had told them everything he had experienced in one hundred years; it seemed he had replayed the events one more time.

Eventually, he turned to the others, talking happily, “It’s good to see that you guys are safe and have made good progress. Yeah, I need time to re-organize my thoughts and think about the changes of the three great star areas. I need time...to rest.”

People nodded, indicating their understanding. They knew he was baffled on seeing the changes of Desolate Territory. He would need time to adjust himself.

They began to leave, but some chose to stay, cultivating in the cave near the valley. They were waiting for him to give them directions after he woke up.

He really had a lot of things to think and clarify.

He vaguely felt that the earth-shaking changes of Desolate Territory weren’t simply because of Desolate losing control of the territory. Perhaps, it was because of Hui and Devour. In his Incipient Extent, he had experienced a lot of things. He had seen a similar structure of heaven and earth at its very dawn. He had learned a lot, and now, he needed time to rearrange his thoughts.

He had a seal in his host soul, which had been there since he got the Devouring power Upanishad. That seal stayed in his soul, and he could use it to send the energy to the warriors cultivating the eight great evil power Upanishads.

What was that blood mark...? He had thought for a long time, and had finally come to a conclusion...

He guessed it was the Absolute Beginning Original Symbol of Devouring power Upanishad that Bloodthirsty ad got. When he received his inheritance, it had entered his soul as well.

He wanted to break that blood mark to understand the root. He needed to comprehend the Origin in his co-soul to seize the memory of the clone and know what had happened between Hui, Desolate, and Devour.

Hui, Devour, and Desolate were the Absolute Beginning creatures. Why did these three have to entangle with each other for billions of years? Why had Hui been dormant in the chaotic space basin? Why had Devour left the Devouring Clan in the Sea Domain of Nihility to fight against Desolate? Why had Desolate been divided into five pieces, the five ancient continents?

There were so many secrets, so many knots he needed to untie. That was the only way he could deal with the complicated, knotty situation of Desolate Territory.
