Netherworld Retrograde

In his view, humans do not have a fleet, and the distance from the Giant City is relatively remote.

Additionally, the battlefield is at sea, making the Forbidden Zone clearly more advantageous.

No faction or Forbidden Zone is willing to battle the Merfolk at sea.

"But this time, the ones who came... are Champion Team One. And the Eighth Generation Champion alongside a Human Supreme will soon arrive," Lou Suo responded, "Of course, this is not a problem, we can ensure the human force won't interfere with the Land of Opportunity."

The Eighth Generation Champion... Hai Hui slightly changed his expression.

If it were the Ninth Generation Champion, he could still put up a fight. But the Eighth Generation Champion—that is truly out of the question.

The peak Champion battles the Supreme!

Even if the Eighth Generation Champion has not yet reached the peak, they are not far off. There's no way he can cope with it.

And then there's another Human Supreme... which equals two Supremes present, no wonder there is talk of confrontation. Even for my brother, the pressure will be immense.

Li Ye then felt a stir in his heart; ensuring humans couldn't enter the Land of Opportunity....

Are they already prepared to act against Captain Yang Chen? Would it be that accompanying Supreme?

Which Supreme could it be?

Qingxu Venerable or Furnace Heart Venerable?

Is it Zi Shu?

Unfortunately, Li Ye cannot relay this information now.

But thankfully, Yang Chen and the others should have already prepared, barring any surprises, the Wilderness Ranger should be included in the team.

Zi Shu, oh Zi Shu... take an arrow!

"Deploying so much combat power, is it because of the benefits discovered in this Land of Opportunity? Or is it because of... the Ninth Generation Champion?" Hai Hui suddenly understood everything and spoke, "If you plan to besiege the Ninth Generation Champion, you can count us in."

Although it's visible that Lou Suo is human, they can converse with the Chaos Chosen so smoothly.

That certainly means they aren't allies with the Human Champion.

It's good not to be allies!

"Very well. We will ensure you receive rich rewards from the opportunities," Lou Suo showed a sincere smile.

"I'll be watching with anticipation." Hai Hui with his spoils was the first to leave the Stone Gate. His primary goal was to gather his forces, awaiting the arrival of the Merfolk Dominators, so he'd have ample confidence.

Lou Suo then looked at Li Ye, "Lord Di Yun, did you engage with the Champion? Have you seen my companion?"

"Kuixu Walker, he exchanged a few words with me. But was killed by the Champion's sudden attack. It was so fast, he didn't even finish speaking," Li Ye replied, "I also had brief exchanges with the Champion. They are quite formidable, and I am not in peak condition. So I used the Heaven and Earth Cage to isolate everything, ultimately not knowing where they went."

"You did right; avoiding their sharp edge is no disgrace," Lou Suo responded, "As for the Champion, we will find him. Fate will guide our meeting."

The two Demon Generals only observed silently, not expressing any opinion.

The Blood God Chosen avoiding the sharp edge? That's laughable!

But they understood Lord Di Yun's thoughts, so did not show any emotion.

"But as far as I know, you call him a variable," Li Ye reminded, "Can you still find him?"

He knew the reason, but asking this way better suits 'Di Yun's' identity.

"The Ninth Champion bears the curse, Dragon and Tiger, once triggered, it attracts the fierce enemies within range," Lou Suo explained.

'Dragon and Tiger...' Li Ye thought, it indeed sounds better than 'You Must Meet Strong Enemies.'

Then, Li Ye inquired, "This promise you made, to help me become the Overlord, what is the procedure? Can you let me quickly stabilize and find a chance to promote?"

Li Ye pointed at the dismantled stone statue, "Would it be claiming the Overlord position fictitiously as such? Then it's unnecessary."

"Naturally not, this technique, while strong, is ultimately fake," Lou Suo approached Li Ye, expressing a close and friendly demeanor with raised brows, "You are destined to achieve the Overlord position."

"Chance, hmm?"

This was Li Ye's foremost concern.

His magic potion 'Tribulation and Misfortune' was already prepared, only a key chance to bind the foundation was missing.

This is also the hardest step; even Captain Yang Chen was stalled at this step for a long time.

If the Heavenly Destiny Walker bestowed him a chance, he could instantly ascend to Overlord.

Then, a bloody carnage would ensue.

"Please rest assured, but you need to journey to the core."

"Core?" Li Ye glanced at Lou Suo and asked, "The core opportunity mentioned by the Book Holder?"

"Indeed, what you have obtained so far is merely the residue of failures," Lou Suo laughed, "The true opportunity requires entering the core. And Lord Di Yun, you have the opportunity to enter the core opportunity."

Is it the metallic card given by the Book Holder?

Is that the key to entering the core opportunity?

There must be similar items, perhaps with the people in the Sea of Time, find an opportunity to seize them!

"So at first, the Book Holder just wanted to fob me off with residues? Fine, fine, fine, I've noted it down," Li Ye sneered, "I'll trouble him when I return."

"Naturally, it's what he deserves." Lou Suo Walker, rather than being angered by Li Ye's insulting the Book Holder, laughed more brightly.

She moved a half-step closer, her breath fragrant, her voice gentle enough to drip with honey.

"You can trouble him anytime... and who knows, you might even extract a few treasures like 'Heaven and Earth Cage' that are unseen by the external world...." her gaze seemed hooked, her speech filled with alluring charm and flattery, encouraging, "And you will become stronger, more perfect, until you reach the peak...."

"Quite the filial child, aren't you? Aren't you his subordinate? Do you Heavenly Destiny Walkers have a culture to overthrow your superiors?" Li Ye laughed.

Lou Suo Walker smiled silently, or perhaps it was the Heavenly Destiny Walkers' plan to reinvest in 'Di Yun' to achieve their expected goal, to make a fitting pawn.

Li Ye pondered: "Then how to proceed to the core?"

"It requires unlocking specific civilization relics; this you need not worry about. My companions will continue guiding other teams to unlock the relics. Your subordinates can keep searching and unlocking relics."

Lou Suo Walker stated, "Next, I will join you in deciphering the relics. Though they are residues, some unique qualities exist, after all, they are techniques developed from long struggles for survival by various civilizations. Consider it passing time for you...."

"Or..." she showed a hint of coyness: "Recently, Lord Si Snake made some breakthroughs in Dual Cultivation techniques, and we can exchange thoughts..."

"Oh~~~ I will introduce you to the Jile Sect," Li Ye said blandly, "Struggling for survival.... What is truly at the core opportunity here?"

"My access level isn't high, but I can tell you something," Lou Suo Walker came beside Li Ye, whispering: "It was a powerful civilization spanning the universe, capable of altering cosmic laws. It even severely wounded.... the Father of Plague."

Li Ye frowned, displaying malicious intent. After all, he was now Di Yun, the Son of Plague Father.

"Yet even so, they encountered malice from some existence. To combat that, they aspired to create weapons against it."

"Weapons?" Li Ye recalled the mechanical construct. Was that a weapon?

"Then what?"

"Then..." Lou Suo Walker shook her head, "Their weapons weren't fully developed, before the entire civilization's body was wiped out. The remnants formed what is called the Silent Annihilation Civilization."

A mighty civilization spanning the universe, one that fought against Chaos and even injured the Chaos Evil God, vanished just like that?

Moreover, even the remnants have the power to annihilate equally with the Ancient Heavenly Court?

The genuine core strength would be even more terrifying....

"Was it eliminated by a more powerful civilization?" Li Ye asked, "Which current Forbidden Zone represents that civilization?"

"Seemingly, it wasn't a contest between civilizations." Lou Suo Walker shook her head, "We only know that civilization referred to it as..."

"Path of Promotion."
