"No need, that is sufficient."
With those words, Emmon’s True Sun gradually withdrew. He sought information from Heavenly Will regarding the current circumstances and discovered that Hera remained missing, with no updates whatsoever. "Sigh." Emmon confessed that Hera's actions were quite unexpected. Heavenly Will then stated, "Come now, let us head back to the congress. The Grand Council Chairman awaits your presence." At the round table, only Levi was present. He announced, "I have detected traces of the Golden Sacred Realm and intend to embark on a long journey. How fares your situation? Is there any issue guarding Nora by yourself?" Emmon responded, "I am managing. I cannot sustain the use of Strength for extended periods, but brief applications pose no difficulty. The Nora Netherworld still retains residual power; no one dares to encroach… Circumstances have shifted. The initiative now rests with us." Levi affirmed, "That is good." He then turned his gaze to Heavenly Will. "I request Barbarian Ancestor to accompany me as well." Golden Will is presumed to be of Four Emperor Level. To ensure safety, Levi resolved to bring another top-tier powerhouse for the expedition. The most suitable candidate was undoubtedly "All-Knowing" Heavenly Will. Having previously clashed with Golden Will, it possessed intimate knowledge of its Abilities. Heavenly Will declared, "No problem." Although its power was not at its zenith, it could still contend with the Four Emperors. Finally, after making several arrangements— Levi, accompanied by Heavenly Will, ventured into the Chaos Dimension. Regarding the Dark Ancient Tower, it had been overused recently and was still in the process of replenishing its energy. For this purpose, Levi encouraged everyone: whenever they had free time, perform ten draws at once! There would be no losses from draws, nor any deception involved. Within the ancient tower, two supreme treasures remained unclaimed. One was the [Void Blade], and the other was the [Blood Tai Sui Bone]. ... A fleshy fetus. Following the great Chaos explosion, numerous entities were set free. The fleshy fetus was among them, and from it, Red and Black Mother was spawned. Its appearance resembled a placenta hovering above all dimensions. After billions of years, its vitality had waned, leaving behind only a solitary Space. With no resources present, sustaining survival was impossible. The Blood and Flesh Palace stood adrift in the Void, encircled by weary Nightmare Monarchs. Their numbers had dwindled to fewer than 180, with only 150 remaining. As the saying goes, "even a tiger will not prey on its own cubs." However, within this Universe, such a principle did not hold. To mend its injuries, Nightmare Will consumed twenty Monarchs. The Master of Horror devoured ten more. The surviving Monarchs were filled with profound regret. Had they foreseen this outcome, surrendering would have been the preferable choice. It would have been better to serve as slaves than to become sustenance for others. The Master of Horror inquired, "Lord, what are our next steps?" Nightmare Will replied, "Allow me some time to recover first. We have forfeited our Giant qualification; if we venture out now, we are likely to be consumed by the other three factions. Our best chance currently lies in the Abyss and Nora engaging in conflict. Abyss Will, having emerged earliest, surely possesses a firm foundation; if the two were to clash, both would suffer significant damage. The reason for our overwhelming defeat this time was the intervention of the Dark Ancient Tower, Sorren’s Treasure, which rescued Nora’s level 9 and level 10 elites numerous times. However, such a function demands considerable resources and cannot be sustained indefinitely. After this engagement, it should be severely depleted." The Master of Horror commented, "If Abyss possesses sufficient intelligence, now is the opportune moment to locate the ancient tower, destroy it, lest it continue to be a source of trouble." ... Within Chaotic City. Abyss Will’s eyes were sealed shut. Its Supreme Strength was surveying this Universe. "I possess a faint recollection of the fleshy fetus's location. But after so many years, it may have shifted. Nightmare Will, I am aware that you are concealed within." ... Time swiftly passed—in the blink of an eye, a decade had gone by. In the Nora Calendar Year 3740. Within Hell, at Black King City. Time’s relentless march showed no mercy; Demon Fox Main Mother faced her final moments. Despite her demonic nature, she had shown compassion to the Purgatory Demon Sword, and her second sister had come to visit her. "My two worthless daughters, I implore Lord to watch over them." Purgatory Demon Sword responded, "Mistress, please be at ease." Due to the ongoing war, among the three Demon Realm sisters, only the eldest and the second had survived. Now, with the assistance of Purgatory Demon Sword, both had ascended to the Level 8 Realm. For him, this act settled a portion of his karmic debt. Following new secrecy pacts, the eldest sister also revoked the Black Emperor's Enslavement from these devils, bestowing freedom upon them. Conditions are no longer as they once were. Hell and Nora, united as family! Levi's enslavement quotas continued to climb, though the targets were becoming fewer. Nevertheless, it represented a form of Growth. Mind Flayers and succubi—no longer of use to Levi. Both were merely at Level 8 Cultivation; Levi arranged for them to go into hiding, far from the Abyss. He had not lifted the Black Emperor's Enslavement. This measure was to ensure their safety from accidental harm when Nora eventually campaigned into the Abyss. The "Green Giant" who had been enslaved years ago also regained his freedom. He now resides on the Giant Continent, living a peaceful existence.
Only a handful of spies from Nightmare remained on Levi’s list.
The Pale Monarch was one such example.
This individual’s luck was astonishing, managing to escape with the Supreme Will.
However, due to its presence in a peculiar dimension, Levi lost track of it.
The Netherworld Ancestor had mentioned that this dimension might be the birthplace of Nightmare Will, and the Mother River was currently searching for it, even engaging in brief skirmishes with Abyss Will.
Nightmare, once an overlord,
was now reduced to a hunted, concealed fugitive.
A truly sobering thought.
...
The Land of Darkness.
Amidst the stardust, the colossal Spider unfurled itself.
"Master, it has been a significant duration since our last encounter."
"How have matters progressed recently?"
"We have successfully assimilated the territories formerly belonging to the Council of Ten Thousand Clans. Enclosed are the resources and intelligence gathered over the years for your review, Master."
"Very well."
While en route to the Sacred Realm expedition,
Levi decided to pay a visit to the elder and younger spiders.
He meticulously cataloged his spoils, a broad grin spreading across his face.
Four varieties of Divine Iron, three divine medicines.
Twenty-six Sun Refining Artifacts, and an additional 12,333 miscellaneous items.
Such acquisitions no longer held the same excitement for Levi.
He extended his palm, revealing a swirling orb of jewel-blue Dense Qi.
It floated like ethereal mist, shifting like clouds, exuding a humid and frigid aura.
Levi inquired:
"Where did you retrieve this item?"
The Big Spider responded:
"My duplicate discovered it within a tomb located in Water World."
Levi stated:
"Provide me with the coordinates."
Levi bid farewell to the Big and Little Spiders.
In merely half a year, he had traversed countless billions of miles.
Within the Dark Deep Space, a world resembling Water World was suspended.
Levi entered its confines, his spiritual force extending outward.
"The water veins of this entire world function as a natural formation; the ruined tomb lies at its core—proof that someone once forged something within this location."
Levi produced the swirling, watery Qi,
restored the tomb, and began chanting ancient incantations.
In the ensuing moment, the world commenced to tremble.
The vast ocean converged, coalescing into a colossal female silhouette, an imposing figure standing one hundred thousand miles tall.
She was adorned in imperial regalia, a crown gracing her head.
Every source of water—springs, rivers, lakes, and oceans—flowed towards her; she held a jewel-blue Bead in her clasped hands, her head slightly bowed.
"Emperor Wan Chuan greets the Chaos Emperor."
Levi did not immediately accept the Bead, his curiosity piqued as he asked:
"Did you not perish during the Ancient Age?"
He had previously delved into historical records concerning the Multidimensional Planes and recognized her as an ancient, immensely powerful figure—a master of the water Dao and the wielder of the supreme treasure, the [Water Summoning Boots].
The circumstances of her demise remained elusive; subsequently, the Water Summoning Boots reappeared, causing a devastating conflict across the planes. However, no one ever discovered the identity of its ultimate claimant.
