Chapter 1181  World Core And World Passage (Part 2)

Before becoming a Rank Three Core Evolver, Evan had no way of returning from Azragoth World without completing the three tasks he had received.

However, after reaching Rank Three and mastering Void Energy, his situation changed.

While moving towards the Eldranthia Empire with Mor'Zarak, he visited the place where he had first appeared in Azragoth World and fought against Xael'Tor.

While there, he tried to find a way back without completing the three tasks... and surprisingly, he found faint traces of the void rift from which he had been sent to Azragoth World.

Normally, it would have been impossible for him to trace his way back using just the faint remnants of the void rift. Even for a Rank Five Core Evolver with mastery over Void Energy, it would have been extremely difficult to retrace the path.

But when Evan tried to trace his way back by relying on the faint marks left behind by the void rift, he found that although it was extremely difficult, he could return on his own.

The reason for this was Elysia, Zorda, and his other shadow undeads, who were still on Earth.

By sensing their location on Earth, he could follow the traces of the void rift from which he had come and return back to Earth.

Elysia and the others who were on Earth were like a beacon of light, guiding him toward Earth's position. So, although difficult, it wasn't impossible for him to go back to Earth on his own.

"But now I think I don't even need to do that..." Evan muttered quietly as he gazed at the World Passage in front of him.

Although vague, he could sense the presence of Elysia and his other shadow undeads on the other side of the World Passage, meaning this World Passage led directly to Earth.

"So the reason the number of dungeons related to Eldritch Horrors suddenly increased on Earth was because of this World Passage..." He said, turning to look at Velgoth beside him.

"During the process of creating this World Passage, you sent quite a few Eldritch Horrors to scout ahead and act as guinea pigs, right?"

Velgoth was surprised when he heard Evan's words and nodded.

"You are right. Before it was fully completed, the passage was quite unstable, so only low-level Eldritch Horrors could go through. At first, only Horrors below C rank could enter, but as the passage stabilized, the rank of Horrors able to pass through steadily increased," Velgoth explained and continued.

"Although I sent many Eldritch Horrors, very few of them returned, and those that did didn't bring back any useful information. So, I haven't sent any of my people to the other side until now."

'As expected...' Evan nodded, finally understanding why the number of Eldritch Horror-related dungeons on Earth had increased.

'All the Eldritch Horrors that appeared on Earth were sent by Velgoth to scout the situation on the other side of the passage, and somehow, that black figure created new dungeons and trapped those Eldritch Horrors inside to prevent them from causing chaos on Earth. Then it informed the hunters about those dungeons and let them take care of the Horrors.'

"Everything's a mess, huh..." Evan shook his head, and the slight uncertainty he felt about facing the people coming from the Origin Universe disappeared completely.

' Even if something goes wrong, I can now quickly escape using the World Passage,' He thought, then 1/3

' Even if something goes wrong, I can now quickly escape using the World Passage,' He thought, then turned back to Velgoth.

"Everything's a mess, huh..." Evan shook his head, and the slight uncertainty he felt about facing the people coming from the Origin Universe disappeared completely.

"Shall we go and take care of that Rank Five Horror? I want to kill it quickly so I can take control of the World Core and use it to increase my power before those guys arrive."

Velgoth didn't answer Evan's question immediately. Instead, he focused his senses to assess the situation outside the castle and after a moment, he nodded.

"Everything is almost ready; we can leave in one or two hours."

"Two hours, huh..." Evan closed his eyes and, after a moment, spoke in a deep voice,

"Since the concentration of World Essence in this world is so high, you must have collected a large amount of Essence Stones and herbs over the past thousands of years, right?"

Velgoth's mouth twitched at Evan's question, but he nodded.

"Essence Stones aren't a problem; there are plenty of them. However, high-level herbs and plants are extremely rare. Just like the people of Azragoth World, it's difficult for even plants of Rank Three or above to appear here."

Evan wasn't surprised by Velgoth's response, as he had already expected it. But...

"It's difficult, but not impossible, right? Since it's not impossible, you must have collected some valuable things over the past tens of thousands of years."

Velgoth looked at Evan's greedy smile and felt speechless. Although he wanted to refuse, he knew it was pointless, so he sighed and walked out of the room.

"Come with me."

Evan smiled slightly when he heard Velgoth and followed him.

Velgoth led Evan to the underground area of the castle using a staircase, and soon they stood before two closed doors, each ten meters high.

"Is this your treasury?" Evan asked as he gazed at the massive doors in front of him.

"Not exactly," Velgoth replied, placing his hand on the doors. "I keep most of the valuable items in my storage rings. But things like herbs, plants, and other materials aren't suitable to be stored in a ring for tens of thousands of years, so we keep them here."

When Velgoth touched the doors, they glowed slightly as if recognizing him, and with just a light push, the heavy doors swung open.

"There are many formations in this room that preserve the essence of the herbs and other materials. You can take anything you need, but don't try to hoard everything—I have many mouths to feed."

As the doors opened, Evan completely ignored Velgoth's words because his attention was fully captured by the treasures inside.

Velgoth sighed once more when he saw Evan paying no heed to him and shook his head.

"We will be leaving in two hours. Make sure you finish whatever you plan to do by then," Velgoth said before disappearing, unwilling to watch Evan plunder his wealth.

Evan didn't bother to respond to Velgoth and took a step into the room.

"Hahahaha... Old man, wake up. It's time for you to get to work."
