Schemes III

Thunderclaps boomed, rippling and spreading through the air without cease.

Three days later.

At the Earth Eye.

La, Fen, Ou Nan, the Three Evil Kings, and a figure draped in a gray cloak, floating silently in midair—Long.

The leaders of every faction had gathered here.

Not only that, behind them, the vast earth was packed with at least several hundred thousand people who had come to witness the event firsthand.

Some were humans, some were Spirit Hosts. But even more were demons controlling evil spirits.

Yet regardless of who they were or what race they belonged to, at this moment, everyone stood around the Earth Eye, gazing toward the passage entrance at its very center.

That was where all hope lay.

The purple Sky Curtain blocked the light from above.

Around the Earth Eye, rings upon rings of white light bands lit up in succession, illuminating everything around them.

"Now, only the final step remains. Input the coordinates, activate the key, and open the passage." La calmly watched the activation tower before her.

Right beside the Earth Eye's core stood a white activation tower over ten meters tall.

The entire tower resembled a standard obelisk, its surface covered in countless intricate patterns and unknown symbols.

"Then begin." Long gave the order. Even the others could hear the obvious tension and caution in his voice.

La nodded and glanced at the others. Stepping forward, she took a translucent square metal block from her sleeve, its surface flashing with countless blue arcs of electricity.

The metal block was the key to opening the passage.

La slowly extended the hand holding the metal block.

The moment it touched the White Tower before her, everything would activate instantly. The coordinates would be entered into the passage, and then the energy furnace would be ignited
