Chapter 754 - Drawing Back The Fog

Chapter 754 Drawing Back The Fog

The entrance to the underground prison.

General Wang had already concealed the flames of light on his forehead.

The metal gates of the underground prison were easily pushed open.

The overlapping layers of formations were dispelled with a formation plate he carried.

General Wang walked into the darkness and headed deep underground.

The 1st floor of the underground prison.

All the monsters here were already butchered.

Their bodies were warped away somewhere by the prepared formations.

General Wang observed the empty state of the 1st floor and scowled.

Just who came in here? And which floor did he get to?

Regardless, let’s hope he didn’t anger ‘that one’, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

General Wang took a deep breath and entered the formation that led to the 2nd floor.

Because of how secure this place was made in order to seal the Desolate monsters inside, even he had no choice but to go down floor by floor.

2nd floor.

3rd floor.

All the way until the 13th floor.

General Wang glanced at the flowing blood on the floor with a look of fear in his eyes.

Since the blood was still flowing slowly, this meant that everything from this floor onwards still hadn’t been ruined.

Which was good news.

General Wang lightly sighed in relief.

“Holder of the fragment of the Gate of Desolation, descendant of the Desolate Guardians, ruling lord of the Southern Ancient lands...”

General Wang suddenly stopped. He slowly turned around and looked at the wall.

He found that the two Desolate monsters who were lucky enough to still be alive were remaining absolutely still on the wall.

But across from them, inside a small hole in the wall, there was a grey, slimy, soft-bodied creature.

This insignificant little creature was only about the size of a nail, but how did it survive in this place, and how did it escape from being noticed before?

Silently, General Wang lightly released his inner sight. Pop! As soon as General Wang’s inner sight touched the slimy creature, it immediately died.

General Wang appeared a bit shocked.

Regardless of whether this creature originally lived here or it was purposefully placed there, it was now dead.

Disregarding that little detail, General Wang continued his words.

“...Did what happen here disturbed your rest?” he asked.

A while later.

A hoarse voice came from deep inside the blood: [I feel very fine staying here, if you stinking insects don’t come to disturb this king’s rest, then I would feel even better ]

General Wang was a bit stunned.

“Stinking insects...” he muttered.

[ Indeed, the hoarse voice spoke sarcastically, pitiful stinking insects that dare to call themselves Gods ]

General Wang’s expression turned grim.

He slowly spoke: “There exists a strange kind of creature in this world. Their masters ordered them to protect and watch over their home, yet they went against the will of their masters and instead began to eat their master’s descendants. Tell me, if this evil act of theirs were to be found out by their masters, what kind of outcome would befall these creatures?”

T WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MASTERS! , the voice angrily roared: [The human race hadn’t returned from the Gate of the World for over a hundred million years! On the other hand, do you also want to become my food? ]

Seeing that he successfully angered the other party, General Wang smirked triumphantly.

He casually answered: “No, of course not, I will only continue to help you devour your master’s descendants, as long as you don’t forget about our treaty”

The hoarse voice went silent briefly before asking doubtfully: [ I really don’t understand, the bunch of you that claim yourselves to be Gods, why do you imitate the human form, and why are you so obsessed with that Gate? ]

Its voice then shifted to a mocking tone: I Could it be to escape from us? ]

General Wang’s gaze became extremely grim: “We have traveled to all of the worlds and even reached the end of every world, but we still have yet to find the means to reach the new frontier. That is why we need you to do as our treaty stated and once again open the Gate of Desolation to allow us to go inside and see what exactly is in there”

The other voice mocked: [Fools. Even those that we once called masters have gone missing inside that Gate for over a hundred million years, and you stinking insects dare to peek inside?

General Wang persisted: “We have our treaty! If you go against the treaty, not even your King will get off easily”

Tsk, as soon as you accomplish your end of the bargain, we will naturally let you in ]

The hoarse voice scoffed.

General Wang raised his voice: “We have already done that, you are wantonly gobbling up humanity!”

The other voice refuted: [No, there are still the (Orders). The most terrifying thing isn’t the pitiful descendants of the human race, but rather the [Orders] that they pass on. Once the human race gets ahold of the [Orders), they will become unbelievably powerful, you still haven’t resolved his most crucial matter]

“That is no longer a problem, Southern Lord, we have found a way to deal with the [Orders]”

What way is that? ]

“We have accurately assessed the powers that each (Order] require, and the solution is to first release the [Demon King Order]”

[ The (Demon King Order]? ] “Correct, this is a most terrifying (Order), it would enslave all living beings and consume countless humans in order to give birth to a single True Demon King at the end”

[ That Demon King definitely cannot be born!

“Of course it wouldn’t. We are humanity’s Gods, while the (Demon King Order]’s evil and terrifying, it will prove itself to humanity that the (Orders) are something they should indeed discard”

General Wang continued in an excited tone: “As long as you can give us a hand and ensure that the first (Order] to awaken is the (Demon King Order), there will no longer be any problems. Even if we don’t do anything at all, humanity will naturally come to fear this extreme (Order). And we as their Gods will surely lead humanity in the fight against the (Demon King Order]”

The hoarse voice fell silent.

After a while, it replied tiredly: T Let’s hope that is the case. Go back, I will report to my father and discuss with him on how to make sure the (Demon King Order) is the first to appear]

General Wang muttered: “Once that is achieved, you must reform that Gate to let us go inside and take a look”

[ Naturally, as long as you can stop the human race and the (Orders] from unifying ] the hoarse voice said.

Hearing that, General Wang slowly smiled. “Very good, then if there is nothing else, I will leave now” he said.

[ Go, and don’t come again unless there is something important ? the hoarse voice replied.

General Wang turned around, about to fly up.

He suddenly stopped and asked one more thing: “Did you eat that one?”

[ What? ? the hoarse voice replied in annoyance.

Without waiting for General Wang to continued, it answered him: [ That’s right, I ate one of my subordinates, you don’t need to care about such a minor things

General Wang hesitated briefly, but insisted on asking: “I’m not talking about your subordinate, I’m asking about the human who came down here before”

The hoarse voice replied: [He already went back up, did you not kill him? ]

General Wang’s expression warped. He disappeared.

But very quickly, he reappeared and picked the slimy creature in the wall up.

This creature had already died, when he picked it up, it suddenly turned into a mass of nauseating goop in his hand.

General Wang was a bit surprised.

“It wasn’t this thing”

He muses: “I was in a hurry just now so I didn’t seriously look over every floor, but there was no way I would miss a human” While muttering, a gloomy, vast light glowed around his body.

“To be able to deceive me like that, how interesting”

He once again disappeared from this floor.

Outside the slaughterhouse.

Among a thick bush of trees.

Gu Qing Shan was hiding here. Indeed, at the time that the Divinity was going down the underground prison floor by floor, he had already turned into an ant and hid among the gap between one of the many cell doors on the 5th floor.

As soon as the Divinity went down through the 5th floor’s warp formation, Gu Qing Shan had already left this place.

As soon as he came out of the underground prison, he found the entire slaughterhouse to be in chaos.

Director Li as well as most of his closest subordinates were all dead.

The enforcer cultivators were quickly gathering at the director’s room from all over the slaughterhouse.

Gu Qing Shan weaved his way through the rushing mobs, chose a gate with few people and silently went out.

He didn’t go too far away.

If he went too far, that snail would be hardly usable.

He was recalling the explanation that the old man from the Spire Keeper Association gave.

“This is a great item you know, much better than normal Spy Bugs”

“Normal Spy Bugs are easily discovered, and those who found that they’ve been tapped would normally kill the bug from anger without much thought”

“But this snail, even if it looks alive, it’s only a small device emulating a living creature” “Only when it’s crushed to death will its snooping capabilities be activated”

This snail was something the old man from the Spire Keeper Association gifted him on his way to Aboul.

And it could finally be used.

He silently listened to their conversation through the snail.

Only after the two ridiculously powerful existences began to talk about whether or not he was alive did he take out a formation plate.

The formation plate was immediately activated.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared.

Several thousand miles away, a barren mountain within a huge mountain range.

Gu Qing Shan appeared on top of an empty hill.

This was where he had faced his Tribulation.

Ever since the Drifting Sand world, he had begun to make a habit of arranging warp formations for the sake of escaping.

And now, the formation once again brought him far away from the danger of death.

Gu Qing Shan stood still and deeply sighed. To investigate information on Divinities and the Desolate monsters had always been an exceedingly dangerous matter.

Fortunately, he managed to brave the danger and drew back the fog that obscured humanity’s fate, successfully learning the truth of the Age of old.
