Return and answers!

The yellow sand, like a raging storm, pressed down from the horizon.

The sunlight struggled through the dust and sand, finally exhausted, turning into a dim, yellowish halo that hung overhead, seemingly about to fall but not quite.

The wind, carrying sand and gravel, lashed against my cheeks, like a hungry silkworm gnawing at my face.

People covered their faces with their sleeves, barely able to see the road ahead. But even in such circumstances, struggle and slaughter continued.

Deep within the sandstorm, a faint Blood Red light could be seen flickering.

This was followed by a clear, melodious chirping.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Azure Luan Phoenix's Song!"

The closer they got to the entrance and exit of the Lost Grand Canyon, the more Exiles Wu Qi and his companions encountered.

The Exiles had just been banished there did not show the bewilderment about the future on their faces; instead, they were filled with the desire to kill the Trialist, seize the Gold Token, and gain freedom.

Along the way, they fought their way through countless battles, and Wu Qi didn't know how many people had died at their hands.

The three of them went from feeling joy at completing their Trial Mission to feeling lost, and now they are mostly numb.

They seemed to be nothing more than machines that only knew how to complete tasks, devoid of any emotion.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, they finally set foot in the canyon area.

Upon learning of the situation, the powerful figures from the Spirit Hall stationed above immediately sent people to greet them.

After confirming the existence of the Gold Token in the hands of the three men, they were immediately taken out.

The Lost Land is more like a large-scale social experiment.

Even if Wu Qi and the other two did not experience any fluctuation in their mentality due to the Oasis incident.

But the journey back was agonizing as they encountered those Exiles whose faces were full of hope.

Perhaps it was the environmental factors that caused extreme repression; as they personally shattered one hopeful face after another, their psychological defenses began to show signs of collapse.

Wu Qi was in relatively better condition; having experienced the carnage of the Slaughter City, his expression was simply numb.

Basking in the sun and taking a short rest will allow you to recover.

Qiangu Changkong, both of them developed serious psychological problems.

Upon entering the Lost Land and beginning their quest, they were all full of energy, their faces radiating sunshine and hope.

But after completing the mission, they discovered that the Oasis was the biggest scam.

But they became accomplices in this scam.

Seeing those hopeful faces only intensified their distress.

Because they knew that even if these people reached the Oasis, they would still face death.

Yet, ironically, they were made to be the villains, executing these hopeful faces.

Despair grew in their hearts, pushing them to the brink of mental collapse.

Upon receiving news of their return, the Worship Hall immediately dispatched the Subduing Demon Douluo, who arrived at the temporary training Camp of the three half a day later.

Wu Qi's mindset had improved considerably, and she took the initiative to communicate with him.

Seeing the expressions on Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping's faces, the Subduing Demon Douluo couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you go through, and how many people did you kill?"

Without a doubt, these three completed the entire Lost Grand Canyon adventure.

In contrast, Hu Liena and her two companions, upon arriving at the Oasis, obtained the Sand Mandala and left, completely unaware of the terrifying presence lurking in the lake.

On the return journey, with the help of two Titled Douluo the way, they encountered almost no danger.

It can be said that the training for Hu Liena and the other two was merely a formality, which has already violated the original intention of setting up the training program.

Throughout the history of the Spirit Hall, many geniuses have emerged from the Lost Land, but nearly 30% of those Trialist ultimately failed to overcome the shadows in their hearts and completely collapsed due to their unique experiences during the trials.

Learning about the trials from Wu Qi, the Subduing Demon Douluo sighed softly, "You've fallen into every single pitfall in the training process."

"Those two brats aren't going to be out of there anytime soon."

Wu Qi asked solemnly, "Is the Desert Palace a means used to reduce the population of this place?"

The Subduing Demon Douluo hadn't intended to answer his question, but remembering that he had already completed his mission and his mentality was intact, he made an exception and provided an answer.

"Yes and no. Opening the Desert Palace was indeed done by the palace itself. But the purpose wasn't really to kill the Exiles; rather, it contained a special treasure."

"I don't know what the treasure is. I only know that it's one of the ancestral precepts passed down from ancient times within the palace."

Unfortunately, to this day, no one knows what the treasure is, or whether it will ever reappear.

Wu Qi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it related to the past of that Royal Capital?"

"During my journey, I unexpectedly entered a certain area and saw murals left by our ancestors, which seemed to reveal the city's past."

"The mural's content is limited; regarding the final God War, there are only some fragments."

Now that things have come to this, Subduing Demon Douluo no longer needs to hide it.

The Spirit Hall was unaware of the Royal Capital's past, but it possessed detailed records of the final God War Spirit Hall.

However, only the revered elders and the Pope are qualified to view this content; even Elder at the Titled Douluo level are not permitted to do so.

"The Royal Capital was indeed occupied by Evil Spirit Master, but those Evil Spirit Master had a different belief from the mainstream Evil Spirit Master on the continent; they worshipped the Rakshasa God."

"Back then, the Spirit Hall's Divine Ancestor had only just broken through to level 100; in terms of strength, he was no match for the Rakshasa God, who had been famous for many years."

"The final stages of the war did indeed incur Divine Punishment."

"But this Divine Punishment did not come from the Divine Ancestor, nor was it caused by the Rakshasa God; it descended from the heavens."

"Only the successive Great Enshriner know the details. All I know is that the Divine Punishment that descended from the heavens was a Thunder capable of destroying the world."

It was precisely because of the power of that Thunder that it brought about severe aftereffects.

After that, a sandstorm swept through the entire Lost Land, and it was buried by the sea of sand almost overnight.

The lightning strike was said to have been caused by a weapon, which eventually landed in the Royal Capital and its whereabouts remain unknown.

The Angel God entered it several times to search, but returned empty-handed.

What follows is the history of the Spirit Hall.

The Angel God was summoned and left Douluo Continent, allowing the Spirit Hall to establish itself firmly on the continent. It has been passed down step by step by the descendants of the Qian family Families to this day.

Wu Qi subconsciously touched the Scepter on his back.

It seems that the Thunder was the work of the God of Destruction, and this Scepter may have fallen to the Douluo Continent at that time.

However, to this day, he has not received any messages from any Deity.

Even if the Scepter in his hand is Divine Artifact, it's no different from a broken stick until he finds the place where the Deity Inheritance.

"What else do you want to know? I won't hide anything from you that I can tell you," asked the Subduing Demon Douluo.

It wasn't that he was trying to curry favor with Wu Qi; rather, he wanted to divert Wu Qi's attention and prevent him from having any mental issues.

Once he's recovered, he can then try to persuade Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping.

When both parties are the same age, the guidance they receive is often much more effective.

Wu Qi continued, "Why would a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast exist in the Oasis?"
