Half a day later.
Inside a room atop Iron Encirclement Mountain.
Fei Yue took off her mask and asked, "Are you done with everything?"
"Mm. The seven Lords of Silent Country have established contact with the Reincarnation Hall, and all the automated machines in the Yellow Springs have been modified. From now on, they'll be sent directly to the battlefield, where they'll earn merit through war," Gu Qingshan said.
"What are you planning to do next?" Fei Yue asked.
"Go see how things are on the battlefield. I want to figure out what these monsters in the void are all about," Gu Qingshan said.
Whenever he thought of the Stardust Monster he'd encountered before, and the dragon that had imitated him, a lingering unease rose in his heart.
"By the way, where are Xiao Die and the others?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"They're all on the battlefield, but we're not in the same division. We've split up to make it easier to gather intelligence on the entire Yellow Springs World," Fei Yue said.
"God Lord—what exactly is going on?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Fei Yue pondered for a moment, then chose her words carefully. "I looked through the ancient records of the Yellow Springs and learned that it's the most unique world among the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Yellow Springs God Lord's status is no lower than that of the Heavenly Emperor. But governing the Nine Hells is not as open and illustrious as ruling the Heavenly Realm, so the God Lord can't easily make her reputation known, and the other worlds know nothing of her."
"There's one more thing worth noting—the Heavenly Emperor changed once, but the Yellow Springs God Lord has never changed."
Gu Qingshan nodded silently.
He drew Tide Sound Sword from the void and glanced at it.
