Jiang Fan's Gate of the Void gained a new ability, Projection across worlds, allowing him to send a mirror image avatar to explore other realms. He tested this new power, projecting an avatar to a distant world, only for it to be instantly destroyed by demons upon arrival. Jiang Fan questions his bad luck in landing in such a dangerous demon-infested world.

He admitted that no clues about that world could be found; his demise was far too swift.

This was an unavoidable outcome, as the ferocious demons within that Demon World were simply too numerous.

Even demons of the Body Integration Realm launched attacks, leaving him completely vulnerable.

Reflecting on this, Jiang Fan remained resolute and initiated his second projection.

This time, he was transported to a different Demon World, only to be discovered by an ape demon at the Integration Realm who instantly struck him dead with a single blow, leaving him utterly speechless.

During the third projection, he was once again sent to a Demon World; this time, his fortune turned as he materialized not in a Demon City, but in the untamed wilderness.

However, his mere presence seemed to provoke the wrath of the entire world's Heavenly Dao, and his aura was entirely ensnared, as if the world had blacklisted him.

Within mere minutes, numerous demons detected his presence and converged to lay siege to him.

Shortly thereafter, he too succumbed under the deluge of attacking demons.

Subsequently, Jiang Fan attempted projections from the tenth to the twentieth attempt, but without exception, each resulted in a swift and miserable end.

Furthermore, he was consistently transported into Demon Worlds.

This placed an immense strain on his mind and spirit.

It became evident that even the ability to project across myriad worlds could not be employed without limit.

The number of uses per day was restricted.

Once this limit was reached, his consciousness would be depleted; only after his spirit had recuperated could another projection be attempted.

"No, something is gravely amiss."

"Even with persistent misfortune, there's no logical reason for every projection to conclude in a Demon World."

"This leaves only one plausible explanation."

"Within the Endless Void of the Mortal World, a vast majority of worlds have already succumbed, completely subjugated by demons."

"That is why such scenarios are unfolding."

Jiang Fan's countenance grew profoundly solemn.

In truth, he had harbored suspicions even earlier.

Why was random transmission so fraught with peril, seemingly destined for lethal crises on most occasions?

Fate persistently issued warnings.

It often required a considerable duration to discover a suitable location for transmission.

This was indeed highly unusual, and he couldn't comprehend it previously.

But following these repeated projections, he apprehended that the Mortal World had long since encountered severe complications.

It was no longer the Mortal World of the Primordial Era.

This situation was likely deeply intertwined with a conflict from the Primordial Era.

As a consequence of the Void Realm's defeat, numerous worlds within the Mortal World had fallen, subsequently occupied by demons.

"Those worlds were not merely occupied by demons so straightforwardly; even the Heavenly Dao of the world itself was corrupted."

"Consequently, upon an outsider's entry, the demonic Heavenly Dao immediately detects them."

"No, from the perspective of those world's demons, I resemble an Outer Celestial Demon."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists tightly.

He seemed to grasp the reason behind the extreme danger of transmitting to other worlds.

It was probable that those worlds had long since transformed into demonic territories.

Even if he were to ascend to the Refining Void Realm, entering those worlds would almost certainly result in certain death.

The moment he set foot in these realms, he would be indelibly marked by the world's Heavenly Dao.

Under such circumstances, regardless of where he concealed himself, escape would be impossible.

"Projecting across myriad worlds? I hadn't anticipated you would repair a portion of the Gate of the Void's capabilities so rapidly."

"It appears you have also begun to perceive the circumstances of other worlds."

At this very moment, the voice of the Human Emperor Sword resonated from the depths of Jiang Fan's consciousness.

"Win, have you been aware of the Mortal World's predicament for a considerable time?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

"The specific details remain somewhat unclear, as I have remained within the Void Realm."

"However, I have sensed numerous things vaguely."

"This is because the conflict of the Primordial Era was not confined solely to the Void Realm."

"In actuality, the battlefield had long encompassed the majority of the Mortal World's regions."

"Even the Void Realm suffered defeat; it's only natural that the majority of other worlds would be overrun."

"For even a handful of worlds to persist is an extraordinary stroke of fortune."

The Human Emperor Sword spoke with a soft tone.

It seemed to be recalling certain events from the Primordial Era at that juncture.

The adversaries were simply too formidable to oppose effectively.

Even mutual destruction was an unattainable luxury.

A stalemate was, in fact, the most favorable outcome achievable.

Nevertheless, this only served to postpone the ultimate annihilation of the Mortal World.

If this trend were to continue, an innumerable quantity of worlds within the Mortal World would inevitably fall completely.

The current situation was already exceedingly dire.

"In that case, does this not make the Spirit Ruins Realm an exceedingly rare Great Thousand World?"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow in contemplation.

"Indeed, it is an exceptionally rare Great Thousand World."

"It is quite surprising that it has not been entirely overrun even now; it is truly uncommon."

The Human Emperor Sword concurred with this assessment.

For countless ages, the Spirit Ruins Realm has faced demonic invasion, yet it remains unvanquished – a truly remarkable world.

This resilience undeniably showcases the profound legacy of the Spirit Ruins Realm, brimming with numerous fortunate encounters.

"What precisely is the Heavenly Dao of those worlds?"

Jiang Fan inquired with curiosity. "It appears to be corrupted by the influence of demons."

"Demonic power alone is incapable of achieving such a feat; it is the work of mysterious forces," the voice responded.

"The might of these enigmatic forces has seeped into the Heavenly Dao of these realms, transforming it into an enigmatic Heavenly Dao."

"Consequently, these worlds have been converted into demonic domains."

"Should beings from the myriad worlds venture into these corrupted realms, they are invariably detected by the enigmatic Heavenly Dao."

"If they linger for any significant duration, they will become hosts to this parasitic enigmatic power, leading to their complete erosion."
