Perhaps It Wasn't on This Planet!

Ye Jing and Liu Qing quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain!

Strangely, there are no evil spirits guarding it.

It's not that they've hidden themselves away.

Even with all his strength, Ye Jing couldn't sense any related aura.

It's important to know that the aura of ordinary evil creatures is extremely difficult to conceal.

If they can't even sense Ye Jing's strength, then their journey here is already a one-way trip!

But Ye Jing did not let his guard down.

This is the world of Evil God; anything can happen.

As the altitude continued to rise, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate and precipitous.

The mountain peaks point like swords to the sky, shrouded in black clouds, as if nature had set up a series of illusions.

With his extraordinary perception, Ye Jing traversed the complex terrain, searching for the entrance that might lead to the gate between the two worlds.

In places like these, spatial fluctuations are usually quite large!

However, the space here is remarkably stable.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are there any other towering peaks?" Ye Jing asked, frowning.

"I was so startled at the time that I only remember landing on the top of a mountain like this." Liu Qing was a little embarrassed, after all, he hadn't been able to help at all.

I only remember one vague clue right now.

"It's alright, then we'll search all the peaks!" Ye Jing shook his head; for now, they could only resort to a foolish method.

Upon hearing this, a mixture of guilt and determination flashed in Liu Qing's eyes. He clenched his fists and said firmly, "Brother Ye, I've dragged you down. But please believe me, I will do my best to recall as many details as possible, and I will not let you waste your efforts."

Ye Jing gently patted Liu Qing on the shoulder, encouraging him. "Don't blame yourself. As companions, we should support each other. Besides, perhaps it is these unknowns and challenges that will allow us to discover more secrets."

After saying that, the two continued on their way. Ye Jing activated his senses to the fullest, not only paying attention to changes in the surrounding environment but also remaining vigilant against any potential hidden dangers.

Liu Qing, on the other hand, tried his best to recall every detail of the past, attempting to piece together more useful information from the fragments of his memory.

As time went by, the two climbed several mountains that seemed different yet were all equally eerie.

But without exception, there were no traces whatsoever.

This is very abnormal.

Everything that passes by leaves a trace!

Even if he sets up an array to travel through the world, he will still leave spatial traces, although he will cover them up with an array.

But that's because his array formation skills are extremely high; with the system around, he's like he's cheating.

Could it be that the Evil God's side also has a master of formations?

But this shouldn't be happening!

Even the most skilled array masters...

He possesses the ability to Eye of Clarity objects and formations; no formation could possibly remain hidden from his sight.

But why is that?

Has this Evil God become so powerful that he can traverse space without leaving a trace?

Impossible.

Evil God are absolutely prevented from traversing the world.

And it's much more difficult than what they faced.

Otherwise, the Evil God would have already invaded the Profound Yellow Great World!

With the power of those dozen or so Evil God, they could have wiped out the Profound Yellow Great World long ago!

But the Evil God didn't, which means they faced significant obstacles.

As can be seen from the recent great battle, they paid a huge price, only to have one Evil God appear.

The other Evil God who joined the battle could only use his tentacles to fight.

It's obvious they can't come over.

This shows that the Evil God's ability to traverse space is still insufficient.

If that's the case, why can't I find any fluctuations at all?

Ye Jing and Liu Qing's steps grew heavier and heavier on the rugged mountain path. Every breath seemed to resonate with the deathly silence of the mountains, echoing through the empty valley and adding to the ominous atmosphere. As the sun gradually slanted westward, the sky was tinged with an eerie purplish-red, and the outlines of the mountains appeared even more sinister and terrifying in the sunset's glow.

"Brother Ye, do you think... I might be mistaken?" Liu Qing's voice trembled slightly. He looked around, and the seemingly similar mountain peaks appeared to transform into ferocious beasts under the setting sun, silently watching them.

He was afraid that his actions would lead to wasted effort here!

"Or perhaps the Evil God misled us in some way?"

Ye Jing pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing. "That's unlikely. Based on your description, the terrain and atmosphere here match the characteristics of the Evil God's World. Moreover, my Eye of Clarity didn't detect any misleading array formations, indicating that we haven't gone astray."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to use his more refined mental perception to capture those subtle spatial fluctuations.

However, apart from the naturally occurring flow of Evil Qi around them, everything remained deathly silent, as if the entire world was deliberately hiding something.

"Unless..." Ye Jing suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, "Perhaps that really is possible!"

Ye Jing suddenly looked down at his feet.

Ye Jing's sharp gaze pierced through the pebbles and withered branches beneath his feet, as if trying to penetrate the earth's surface and see the secrets hidden deep underground. "Unless, we've overlooked the most unlikely place—right beneath our feet." His voice was deep and firm, each word carrying immense weight, causing Liu Qing to involuntarily stop and follow Ye Jing's gaze.

"Under our feet?" Liu Qing repeated in confusion, then his eyes widened as if in sudden realization. "You mean, the entrance might be right where we're standing?"

Ye Jing nodded, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. "Indeed, we've always focused our attention on the top and surrounding areas of the mountain, neglecting the most inconspicuous part—the ground. Perhaps the Evil God exploited this psychology to hide the true entrance so cleverly."

He crouched down and began to carefully examine the ground beneath his feet, gently brushing away the topsoil and dead leaves with both hands, trying to look for any unusual signs.

Seeing this, Liu Qing quickly joined in, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, carefully searched every inch of the land.

As time passed, the dark afterglow on the horizon gradually faded, and night quietly descended.

Atop the mountain peak, a biting wind howled, adding even more eeriness to this sinister world.

They dug three feet into the ground, but Ye Jing and Liu Qing found nothing!

Strangeness!

He'd truly searched high and low, up to the heavens and down the earth!

"Brother Ye, perhaps I really did remember wrong. How about we just give up? Let's think of another way?" Liu Qing was ready to abandon the idea!

"Or we could go to a city and look for other people; they should have similar memories. Let's verify that first!"

Ye Jing frowned slightly. "That's too risky. I've already killed one Evil God, so they're definitely on high alert towards us now. I'm afraid we'll be captured as soon as we show our faces!"

"But this isn't a solution!" Liu Qing sighed.

"There's no mistake. People's memories are often most vivid when they are experiencing a great shock. We must have overlooked something!"

Ye Jing shook his head, looking at the ground, his brain racing!
