"It can't be blown up..."

Lou Shanyue murmured aloud.

The boys' expressions also dimmed somewhat.

But the next second...

His voice remained extremely firm:

"... You should go too!"

"We have to do something."

"Since we are one of the few survivors on this planet, only we can do something about it. We went to great lengths to determine the root cause of the planet's dramatic changes. No matter how dangerous or difficult it is... we should give it a try, right?"

Faced with the resolute Lou Shanyue and the other teenagers.

Roger was slightly moved.

At the beginning.

He wanted to speak up and stop him.

But soon.

He sensed the unstoppable and resolute will of the teenagers!

This will.

It's not something I can resolve with just a few words.

Roger understood.

The "Self-Salvation Society" must have spent a significant amount of time investigating the planetary events.

With their strength.

In order to find the entrance to the Dragon City Underground Palace.

They've probably paid an unknown price! The 'Xiao Cha' they mentioned earlier might have been one of them.

But he has already sacrificed himself.

Based on this calculation...

Prior to this.

Many more members of the Self-Salvation Society must have died on their journey to find the truth.

But now.

The truth is right in front of them.

No one could stop their determination to find out.

Besides.

Roger also sensed their will to die.

This will to die is not due to brainwashing or self-pity.

Rather, it is an extremely firm belief.

As Lou Shanyue said.

The Self-Salvation Society is very likely the last group of normal people on this planet.

They have a responsibility and an obligation to do something.

In their relatively short lives...

They have probably already experienced several tragic separations of life and death...

These teenagers lost their relatives and friends one after another.

This made them no longer afraid of death.

Even.

He also saw a hint of longing for death in the boys' eyes!

"If he really dies like this, it would be a good thing."

Wind Sword Immortal said quietly, "I can go find Xiao Cha and my parents now..."

"Yes!"

A boy standing nearby said with a wry smile, "And we don't have to take those nauseating pills every day anymore!"

"That's right! Those pills made it impossible for me to poop every time..."

"I won't have to deal with crazy monsters all the time anymore!"

"Haha, that sounds pretty good. If you ask me, the best part is finally being able to sleep without fear. Dying is like falling asleep, and I can sleep really, really soundly..."

The boys chattered amongst themselves.

They still held Beya Two in awe.

But they are young after all.

He quickly revealed his true self.

Roger sensed the weariness and disgust in their tone.

Then he sighed softly, "What if I had a way to get you out of here?"

The boys immediately fell silent.

Roger raised his hand.

A flash of white light.

A colossal, towering ship appeared before the boys!

"It's Nine Provinces Treasure Ship!"

"Wow! It really is the ship that the Lord of Dragon City recruited 100,000 craftsmen to build..."

Everyone was amazed.

"I found this in the Dragon City Underground Palace."

Roger said lightly:

"You can take it to Quienan or Mystra."

"There, you will not encounter demons, nor will you need to be constantly on guard against mutated forces."

"The two satellites are currently relatively safe."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone looked on in disbelief.

It can be done immediately.

They all looked again at the two horrible pools of meat paste on the Thousand Cow Mountain.

The doubt in his eyes had faded considerably.

The members of the Self-Salvation Society remained silent.

They all looked at Lou Shanyue.

The latter took a deep breath.

He asked with utmost respect, "Who exactly are you, senior?"

Beya Two waved its hand:

"Who I am is not important. What matters is whether you are willing to listen to my advice. I understand how you feel, but sometimes acting rashly will not solve the problem."

"Sometimes, the greatest courage is to preserve one's usefulness, carry lofty ambitions, and live on despite the hardships."

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you believe in me."

Lou Shanyue decisively said:

"Of course we believe you..."

"Only..."

His voice was full of hesitation.

The boys moved closer to him.

A hint of apology appeared on their faces as they looked at Beya Two.

"But we still want to do things our own way!"

Finally.

Lou Shanyue said firmly.

The boys nodded in unison.

Roger was a little surprised.

I've already said all that, and I still can't persuade these teenagers? They're so stubborn!

Should he insist on delivering it? But then he thought about it again.

He did not use any power or deceptive magic.

Empty words are ultimately rather weak.

Most importantly.

The will to die in the hearts of these young people has probably been brewing for a long time.

According to Bai Ming.

This is their mission.

After a considerable period of self-hypnosis.

It is indeed difficult to persuade them.

The teenagers were determined.

Roger couldn't help but sigh softly to himself.

Then he asked:

Do you know the lair of the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai?

"Besides him and the Black Star Gate, do you know of any other survivors?"

Lou Shanyue replied decisively, "The lair of the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai is roughly in the northwest. We don't know the exact location, but it's not hard to judge from his past movements that it's in that direction..."

"As for the other survivors, I have been wandering in this wilderness since I was four years old. For fourteen years now, I have not encountered any sentient living beings except for the Black Star Gate."

This explanation was pretty much what Roger had guessed.

He nodded and said:

"Good."

"I have no other questions. If you want to go to the Dragon City Underground Palace now, I can take you there."

Lou Shanyue clasped his hands and said:

"Thank you for escorting me, Senior!"

Roger remained silent.

It flew straight towards the Dragon City Underground Palace.

The members of the Self-Salvation Society followed closely behind.

Very soon.

They arrived at the entrance to the Sub-Plane at the top level of the Dragon City Underground Palace.

Roger pointed to the entrance and said:

"From here, you'll reach the edge of that 'Evil Soil.' There, you'll see a branch emanating an evil aura. That's the culprit behind the abnormal changes on this planet. You can try to destroy it with Heaven-Shaking Earth-Quaking Divine Thunder, but I doubt it will..."

"Furthermore, that branch is actually very, very far from where you are. The Evil Soil is a harsh environment, teeming with demons. It might take you several years to reach that branch. The journey will undoubtedly be extremely arduous, so be prepared..."

"Furthermore, that tree branch is only the immediate cause. The root cause is that a Demon Lord stole the Star Master Authority of this planet... Even if you did destroy that tree branch, it would only have a mitigating effect..."

"If you regret it after hearing all this, it's not too late to come to Shuangxing with me."

As he spoke.

Beya Two looked at the boys' faces again.

I noticed that these young people still had resolute expressions.

The boys' emotions only showed a noticeable fluctuation when she mentioned the Blue Blood King's conspiracy.

At other times, he remained as resolute as ever.

Roger then stopped trying to dissuade him.

He simply said:

"If you encounter any trouble in the abyss, try calling upon the name of the 'Time and Space Dragon.' Remember to shout it loudly and with a sincere heart; perhaps He can help."

"Consider this small bag a gift from me; it contains some things you might find useful..."

Before Lou Shanyue could refuse.

Roger then forcefully shoved the "5 Tinder Pouch" into his hand.

There wasn't much in the Tinder Pouch.

After all, Beya Two didn't carry a lot of supplies.

However, the few extraordinary items inside were still somewhat useful to these teenagers.

Most importantly.

It also contains two spell coordinates.

Only ascended mages are qualified to track and locate these two spell coordinates.

"I hope they can survive a little longer in the abyss..."

Roger silently offered a prayer.

Immediately afterwards.

He stepped aside.

They watched as the boys stepped one after another into the Sub-Plane where the abyss and Telodal met.

He couldn't get into it on his own.

Roger's consciousness has been cursed by the Abyss Will.

Even if it's a clone.

Once you step into the abyss, there is a very high probability of being arrested.

It'll cause a scene then.

On the contrary, it will implicate the members of the Self-Salvation Society.

This is why Roger repeatedly instructed them not to recite the true name of the Time and Space Dragon unless absolutely necessary.

Although it's an alternate account.

But what if the Abyss Will is clever enough to cause trouble on someone else's turf?

It was just too risky.

The teenagers from the Self-Salvation Society left.

The Dragon City Underground Palace has returned to tranquility.

Roger withdrew his gaze from the entrance to the Sub-Plane.

"It's not time to fight the Blue Blood King yet... I must fill up my Time Authority Rank as soon as possible! I must achieve Immortality as soon as possible!"

Thinking about this...

Roger's gaze returned to the Profound Yin Refining God Banner in his hand—

This magical artifact imprisons more than 10,000 demons.

It can provide him with a large number of Time Authority Rank fragments.

According to Lou Shanyue, the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai possesses at least a dozen Profound Yin Refining God Banner! If we could obtain all of these magical treasures...

Then the speed at which Time Authority Rank fully formed will be much faster! Therefore, tracking down the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai is the key!

Beya Two found an open space and sat down.

She used divine magic to blast away the demons inside the Xuan Yin Refining God Chamber.

The consciousness on the other side returned to its original body.

Inside the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Roger did not use divination on the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai.

This is because it could easily arouse the Blue Blood King's suspicion.

Moreover, the two sides are quite far apart.

Divination is rarely effective.

So this time he used a different method.

"Prompt: You have activated your feat 'Shadow Realm Bounty' —Should you add the name of the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai to the bounty and order all creatures of the Shadow Realm to place a bounty on him?..."

Bounty successful!

Creatures of the Shadow Realm have begun to claim your bounty. Given your extremely high reputation in the Shadow Realm, a large number of Shadow creatures have begun tracking down the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai ...

..."

On the data panel.

Numerous names flashed by.

Roger didn't know the vast majority of them.

Moreover, the formats of these names are all bizarre and unusual.

These must all be native inhabitants of the Shadow Realm.

"Shadow Assassin Mafa accepted your bounty and has locked onto your target!..."

The Shadow Assassin Mafa is approaching his target Corpse Demon Zhang Kai!

The Shadow Assassin Mafa, has ceased his actions!...

High Shadow Lord Ying Yue intercepted the bounty order...

"Etc..."

"They locked onto the coordinates so quickly?"

"They almost came to blows?"

Roger was a little surprised.

He hadn't even had a chance to kill all the demons inside the Profound Yin Refining God Banner yet!

They've already found the person over there? But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising.

A sunny place.

There's a shadow over it!

Therefore, there are places on every one of the Nine Great Planets that border the Shadow Realm.

Such places are often where shadow creatures are active.

Roger rarely enters the Shadow Realm.

Because the Shadow Realm are relatively unpopular.

There aren't many monsters inside.

Moreover, shadow creatures are inherently dangerous.

When he was relatively weak, he naturally dared not enter easily;

But once he became powerful, he lost interest in exploring the Shadow Realm.

In fact.

The Shadow Realm, like the Abyss, is a twisted, Rift World.

However, compared to the abyss of purgatory.

The dimensional laws of the Shadow Realm are more robust.

It is based on a law that contradicts the principles of sunlight.

It is also inextricably linked to the Prime Material Plane of the Nine Great Planets.

Therefore, its plane quality is much higher than that of ordinary crack planes.

It is precisely for this reason.

Using the Shadow Realm to accomplish interplanetary tasks is indeed a viable approach.

Not to mention that Roger also had the title of Slaughter Tyrant.

He himself cultivated Slaughter Authority Rank.

Even without the bounty posting specialty.

Getting a large number of shadow creatures to work for him would be a piece of cake.

"It really works... The coordinates have been recorded... It seems I'll have to pay more attention to the Shadow Realm from now on, after all, it's a force spread across Nine Great Planets..."

Lost in thought.

The last divine spell was unleashed.

The demons within the Profound Yin Refining God Banner were all reduced to ashes! Immediately afterwards...

The Beya Two system compared the coordinates on the data column with the Dragon City Topographical Map.

Then it flew northwest at top speed!...

Northwest of Longcheng.

The Demon Sealing Pit.

Chains rose from the dark, muddy ground.

One end of the chain was stuck in the cliffs on all four sides of the deep pit.

At the other end, a huge alchemy furnace is suspended in mid-air.

Crunch, crunch!

The chains rattled, making a teeth-grinding sound.

Desperate pounding sounds also came from inside the alchemy furnace!

"Ignition!"

An angry voice rang out.

I heard that sound.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all showed expressions of fear.

They walked forward slowly.

We are preparing to gather the strength of everyone.

To light the fire in this enormous alchemy furnace.

Zhang Daoyun stood at the very back of the line.

His expression was somewhat uneasy.

As a member of the Black Star Gate.

Everyone knew that today was not the time to start refining elixirs.

But the Corpse Demon Zhang Kai suddenly gave them an order—

Not only were they summoned here.

They were also ordered to light a fire temporarily.

This action was very unusual.

He thought of the set of keys he had lent to the young Bai Ming.

He suddenly felt intensely afraid.

"I should have known better than to be such a pushover!"

"They must have done something!"

"Please don't come after me..."

Zhang Daoyun thought to himself with unease.

That's what's on his mind right now.

He wanted to slap himself!

It's a pity.

Sometimes, the more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen to you.

Before Zhang Daoyun could even reach the alchemy furnace...

That sinister voice rang out again:

"Zhang Daoyun!"

"You get the hell here!"

Zhang Daoyun felt a chill in his heart and his legs went weak.

I almost fell to the ground!
