Opportunity to Upgrade

"Right, senior brother, if what you're saying is true, then nine of the Eastern Emperor's ten sons are dead, and it was the Witch Race's doing."

"It seems the Witch-Demon War is imminent."

The two nodded slightly after hearing this, a look of interested curiosity in their eyes.

They seemed to no longer care about the intense heat outside.

At this moment, Qin Feng had already burrowed deep underground.

He was currently in complete darkness, fumbling his way forward.

He simply couldn't stand the scorching heat earlier, so he found a cave at random and used his power to dig downwards.

It was just as he had guessed.

After descending underground, the intense heat from the surface could no longer reach him.

However, the only downside was that it was incredibly dark, making it impossible to see anything around him.

He himself didn't possess any fire or light-attribute powers.

He could only grope around in the darkness.

[Today's quiz is about to begin, everyone please prepare. If another question is answered correctly, this group will undergo an upgrade.]

Just then, the System's prompt sounded. Not only Qin Feng, the group leader, but all ten other group members received the message.

Everyone became excited.

This was the first time they had ever heard of the group upgrading.

Qin Feng was naturally the most excited. After all, if the group upgraded, he could invite more people, and with more people, wouldn't the efficiency of answering questions increase significantly?

Moreover, after the group upgraded, the three daily questions might increase.

Or perhaps the quality of the answers would improve.

Wouldn't his gains be even greater then?

More importantly, he had encountered a bottleneck.

Even though he had many rare treasures in his possession, it was still uncertain whether absorbing them would allow him to break through the bottleneck and reach the next stage.

He wasn't the only one in this situation.

Every creature in the Primordial World had to go through this process to break through.

Otherwise, why were there so few top powerhouses?

Every single one standing at the peak had cultivated for countless years.

Qin Feng was waiting in the underground world, bored. It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything.

So, he had already gone into the group chat to speak.

Qin Feng: "How has everyone been doing lately? I heard it's incredibly hot outside. Luckily, I hid away a while ago."

Nuwa: "Speaking of which, it makes me angry. Di Jun, go ask the Eastern Emperor what's going on? Can he control his ten sons? More than half of the races I created have died under this intense heat."

Nuwa's tone was filled with rage.

Anyone would feel the same way. After all, they had painstakingly used their powers to create races, and they had finally developed to this point.

But now, more than half of them had died due to such an accident.

It would take a long time to recover and return to this state.

Di Jun: "Actually, my saying it won't make a difference. But the Eastern Emperor is in a bad mood right now. He might have to visit the Witch Race in a while."

Houtu: "Actually, there's no need for all that trouble. If your Demon Race wants to start a war early, we Witch Race will gladly oblige. There's no need to use this as an excuse to hide anything."

Houtu didn't give Di Jun any face at all. After all, they were on opposing sides.

There was no need for any reservations.

Under these circumstances, the atmosphere between the two sides fell silent.

Although the Witch and Demon Races had long been prepared for war, when it truly came, everyone was still somewhat reluctant.

This was because their peaceful days had lasted for far too long.

Even the Witch Race, known for their warlike nature, couldn't see the future of their own race clearly.

So, if they could avoid fighting, that would naturally be the best outcome.

But others were enjoying the show.

Take Tongtian and Jieyin, for example.

Tongtian: "This heat is indeed excessive. And I heard that nine of the Eastern Emperor's sons are all dead, with only his youngest son remaining, who apparently evolved into the sun."

Jieyin: "That's true. I heard about it too, but my friend, I advise you, these matters need to be resolved. There is only one sun in the world, and another one would be unbearable."

Zhen Yuanzi: "I agree. This matter needs to be resolved. If it cannot be resolved, the impact will not be limited to just your Witch and Demon Races; it might even affect us."

"My Ginseng Fruit tree had to mobilize its power to protect its main body, so I'm afraid it won't be able to bear any Ginseng Fruit this time."

Hearing this, everyone finally realized the gravity of the situation.

Because Ginseng Fruit is one of the treasures they must exchange every year.

It had already become a habit over the past three thousand years.

Even at the very least, they always needed one Ginseng Fruit.

But now, if there were no Ginseng Fruits, several of the top figures would definitely feel unaccustomed.

More importantly, they all had a plan: Ginseng Fruit could help consolidate their foundations.

Basically, at their level, if they wanted to improve further, they would have to walk down different paths.

The Great Dao of the world was vast, and each path possessed its own unique power.

Therefore, if they wanted to become stronger, they needed to comprehend another Great Dao.

And simultaneously, give birth to the power of that Great Dao.

However, this portion of power was very weak and required the foundation-consolidating power of Ginseng Fruit or other heavenly treasures.

If there were no Ginseng Fruits this time, then waiting another three thousand years might have a huge impact on them.

At that time, as Zhen Yuanzi said, everyone would be greatly affected.

And then it wouldn't just be the reason for the great war between the Witch Race and the Demon Race.

It was possible that everyone would stand with the Witch Race and fight against the Demon Race.

After all, this was an incident caused by Eastern Emperor Taiyi's ten sons.

Di Jun: "... Everyone, don't be too anxious. After this quiz ends, I will discuss it with Eastern Emperor."

After he said this, Tongtian and the others' incessant chatter finally stopped.

Actually, all they needed was an assurance, and it would be even better if the matter could be resolved.

After all, who would want to have nothing to do and endure such high temperatures every day?

Suddenly, there was movement in the group chat.

[For the first question, please listen: Beyond the Saint, is there a higher realm?]
