Nine Dove Demon Emperor's proposal clearly did not satisfy Dark Chestnut Demon Emperor.
Return to the Netherworld Empire Battlefield?
If they could return so easily, this Evil Tide Legion that had accidentally lost its way would have gone back long ago. Why would they have wandered blindly through an unfamiliar starfield for so long?
To this day, Dark Chestnut Demon Emperor and the others still could not accurately pinpoint their own astral coordinates, nor determine which direction from the Minghe Empire they were in.
They could only roughly conclude that they were likely still within the same Star Sector as the Minghe Empire.
The Star Realm was boundlessly vast and endless. By the same token, every Star Sector had reached an extreme scale.
Even though the Evil Tide Civilization fought across several Star Sectors at once and possessed an incomparably broad perspective, they still had no way to precisely divide up the size of a Star Sector.
The division of Star Sectors relied more on vague distinctions based on Spacetime Fluctuations in different directions and the time required to cross worlds.
By the Evil Tide Civilization's understanding, a single Star Sector was bound to contain more than three Top-Level Civilizations.
That was merely the minimum number; the actual figure might be far greater.
Take the Demon Subjugation Alliance as an example. The Yan Emperor Divine Clan, the Nine Stars Civilization, and the Capricorn Empire—along with the newly joined Iron-Blood Civilization—all belonged to the same Star Sector.
That Star Sector had not even been explored to its end. There might well be undiscovered Top-Level Civilizations within it.
Such an incomparably vast map of space and time meant that finding a route back to the Netherworld Empire Battlefield was truly no easy matter for Dark Chestnut Demon Emperor and the others.
