The Planar Passage, shimmering with iridescent light, resembled a strange gem embedded in the void, radiating stable and profound spatial fluctuations. Outside the passage lay the Soul Tool Array and numerous powerful figures poised for battle on the desolate plains of the Sun Moon Continent; inside the passage lay the unknown Saint Demon Continent, and the overwhelming aura of a different plane.

Yu Yuanchen took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his blood and Blood Essence caused by forcibly maintaining the passage. His sharp gaze fell upon the faintly visible sky at the other end of the passage, seemingly shrouded in a light haze. Success or failure hinged on this moment!

"The passage is stable, but I don't know how long it will last. I'll go first." As the plan's leader and the strongest, Thunder Divine Essence Yu Yuanchen took the lead without hesitation. A layer of solidified Purple-Gold light formed on his body as he stepped into the entrance of the dazzling passage.

Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Di Tian, and Gu Yuena followed closely behind. The Evil Emperor hesitated for a moment, his huge vertical pupils filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. In the end, his longing for his homeland overwhelmed everything, and his Divine Body transformed into Daoliu and disappeared into the passage.

The feeling of passing through the passage was quite strange, as if one had traversed an endless distance in a single step. The surroundings were filled with bizarre and distorted spatial scenes, but the force field formed by the stable anchors on the inner walls of the passage was very solid, and there was not much spatial tearing force felt. Clearly, this Soul Tool Array, into which the Federation had poured countless efforts and resources, was remarkably effective.

Just a few breaths later, the scene before my eyes suddenly became clear!

Down to earth!

A surge of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, more than ten times stronger than usual, rushed towards us, mixed with unsettling Dark Element, chaotic Demonic Energy, and a unique, ancient, and timeless sense of law.

This is the Saint Demon Continent!

Yu Yuanchen immediately unleashed his Spirit Origin Realm Spiritual Power, which spread rapidly in all directions like an invisible radar, while carefully comprehending the laws of heaven and earth in this new plane.

A moment later, an irrepressible gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes!

"Just as I thought! The suppression of Life levels in this plane... has disappeared!" He clearly felt that the boundary that was like an invisible barrier separating the mortal and the God Level in the Douluo Plane had vanished here! This meant that as long as one had enough foundation and completed the accumulation, one could naturally step into level 100 and become a God Level Life!

However, amidst his surprise, he also keenly sensed a potential hidden danger.

"The Plane Law ... indeed possess an extremely strong 'assimilation' characteristic," Yu Yuanchen said in a deep voice. "If native beings achieve God Level here, their Divine Soul and wills will likely be gradually eroded and assimilated by the Plane Law, ultimately losing themselves and becoming part of the Plane Law, or rather... puppets."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Di Tian all tensed up and quickly began to carefully comprehend the sensation. Sure enough, they also discovered a similar feeling.

This world seems to "crave" powerful individuals, but once an individual becomes powerful enough, it will attract the "attention" and "erosion" of the laws.

"No wonder this realm possesses such profound spiritual energy, yet seems to lack a true 'ruler of order' who transcends all living beings." Qian Daoliu pondered, "Perhaps all the native God Level born throughout history have already transformed into Dao."

Tang Chen clenched his fist, feeling the active Soul Power within his body, and chuckled, "Who cares! For us 'outsiders,' this is actually a good thing!"

Without that damned ceiling, I might even be able to touch the threshold of God Level! As for assimilation? Hmph, I'm not a child of this world. Trying to assimilate me? They'd better see if they have the teeth to do so!

A burning desire flashed in Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes. To become a god! To escape the Heavenly Tribulation of Soul Beast and gain eternal Life! This was the goal it had pursued for hundreds of thousands of years! Although it also sensed the risk of assimilation, it was confident that with the powerful physique and soul of the Dragon Clan, it was enough to resist. What's more, it had its master Gu Yuena, by its side.

At this moment, the most excited person was none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, the Evil Emperor!

"I'm back! I'm finally back!!" The Evil Emperor's enormous Divine Body fluctuated violently in the air, emitting strong emotional ripples, including ecstasy, reminiscence, and an almost greedy inhalation of the familiar yet unfamiliar scent of his homeland.

Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed and the continental landscape and energy environment have undergone tremendous changes, that sense of belonging that originates from the Life Origin cannot be faked!

What excited it even more was that its immense Spiritual Power swept across the distant direction and clearly sensed the aura of its own kind! Although those auras were far less powerful than its own, and even their bloodline levels were much lower (the strongest of them were only at the level of the Evil Eye Tyrant), they were indeed members of the Evil Eye Clan!

"Hahaha! I, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, have returned today!" The Evil Emperor roared inwardly, a strong urge to "return home in glory" surging through his heart.

In the Douluo Continent, although it is the king of Ferocious Beast, it is ultimately a "guest". It is under the pressure of the Divine Realm above, has old enemies like Di Tian by its side, and also has beings like the Silver Dragon King. Its life is not particularly happy.

But here, it is the returned king! With nearly 800,000 years of Cultivation Level and a bloodline that surpasses all limits, it will undoubtedly be a top-tier existence in this homeland! What's more, there is also the chance to become a god here!

Its enormous vertical pupils turned towards Yu Yuanchen and the others, its mental fluctuations carrying a hint of urgency and excitement. "Yu Yuanchen, Di Tian, now that we have arrived safely, I will take my leave first! Rest assured, I will never forget my promise to you! I will contact you once I have settled in!"

It couldn't wait to gather its people (if anyone still recognized it), announce its return, and begin plotting its ascension to godhood.

Yu Yuanchen nodded in understanding. "Please make yourself at home, Your Excellency Evil Emperor. Remember to act cautiously. The situation in this realm is unclear, so safety should be the top priority. This is a communication Soul Tool; inject your Spiritual Power to communicate with us." He tossed a small silver badge.

The Evil Emperor accepted the badge, his mental fluctuations revealing a hint of arrogance. "Don't worry! I'm practically a local tyrant; how could anything happen to me on my own turf? I'm leaving."

Before the words were even finished, the enormous vertical pupil phantom twisted and transformed into an invisible spiritual wave, instantly disappearing into the distant horizon at an astonishing speed.

After the Evil Emperor left, only Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Di Tian, and Gu Yuena remained.

Since stepping onto the Saint Demon Continent, Gu Yuena has remained silent. In the depths of her amethyst-like eyes, countless stars seem to Life and Death. She is comprehending the most fundamental laws of this plane in a way far beyond what others can achieve. Her aura is becoming increasingly ethereal, making it impossible for anyone to fathom its depths.

Yu Yuanchen looked at her and politely asked, "Miss Gu Yue, what are your thoughts on this plane of existence?"

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze from the distance, her clear, cold voice ringing out. "The laws are ancient, the foundation profound, and the aura of darkness and Destruction dominates, but... the Life Force of this world has not been extinguished, and the seeds of light are deeply buried. At most a few thousand years ago, this plane should have experienced a devastating war." Her judgment directly touched upon the plane's history.

Yu Yuanchen's heart stirred slightly. The Silver Dragon King truly lived up to his Silver Dragon King; his senses were indeed sharp. He nodded. "Indeed. The most urgent task is to quickly understand the current distribution of power and the power structure of this realm. We are newcomers and should not expose ourselves too early; we must investigate covertly."

Although Yu Yuanchen knew some things due to his memories from his previous life, he was uncertain about the timeline. He could only determine that the Demon God Pillar had already descended by observing the Yuan energy in the world. However, since this was his first time on the Saint Demon Continent, he couldn't openly reveal the information he knew.

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "Although the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here is rich in Dark Element, there is a faint trace of Demonic Energy within it, which displeases me greatly. It seems that the dark forces in this realm have gone astray."

A faint Holy Light swirled around Qian Daoliu, Purification the surrounding Demonic Energy. He frowned and said, "The Light Element is rather thin here. This might be the territory of dark forces, and it's probably not a safe place for humans."

Tang Chen, carrying the Clear Sky Hammer, said nonchalantly, "Who cares about demons or ghosts? We'll deal with whatever comes our way! Let's find a human settlement and gather some information first!"

Yu Yuanchen pondered for a moment and said, "The five of us are too conspicuous, and our auras are completely different from those of the creatures of this realm. Acting together will easily attract attention. I suggest we split up to investigate and then meet up periodically to exchange information."

He looked at Gu Yuena Di Tian: "Miss Gu Yue, Your Excellency Di Tian, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "Alright." She seemed quite interested in the active primordial laws of this world.

Di Tian naturally followed Gu Yuena's lead. "Agreed."

"Alright," Yu Yuanchen said, "Then let's set a one-day deadline. After one day, regardless of whether we have any gains or not, we will all return here to regroup. I will team up with Brother Qian and Brother Tang, while Miss Gu Yue and His Di Tian will team up. We will split up and explore separately. Remember, conceal your whereabouts and avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary."

With the plan settled and both sides exchanging contact information (a small, long-distance communication Soul Tool), they prepared to split up and act separately.

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred!

In the distance, a violent, chaotic aura, thick with the stench of blood, was rapidly approaching their location.

Its aura had reached the level equivalent to a Soul Douluo in the Douluo Plane. Moreover, this aura was filled with pure malice and a desire for Destruction, making it definitely not a benevolent entity!

"Hmm?" Yu Yuanchen frowned slightly, his Divine Sense instantly locking onto the approaching figure. He saw a massive figure shrouded in dark red demonic flames tearing through the clouds and hurtling towards him.

The figure was vaguely humanoid, but it had wings on its back, curved horns on its head, and its body was covered with bone-spiky armor, exuding a nauseatingly evil aura.

"This is... a demon?" The thought flashed through Yu Yuanchen's mind instantly. Indeed, in Yu Yuanchen's eyes, this creature looked very similar to the demons of the Demon Plane. After a moment's recollection, he remembered that there was indeed a branch of the Demon Race called Demon Race.

"Looks like we don't need to go looking for them; they've come to us themselves." Tang Chen grinned, the Clear Sky Hammer already in his hand, his fighting spirit surging.

The Qian Daoliu Angel Sacred Sword appeared and disappeared, its Holy Light flowing. Di Tian's eyes were cold, his Dragon Might might hidden. Gu Yuena remained calm, but a thoughtful look flashed deep in her eyes.

The Demon Race powerhouse had obviously come to inspect the situation after discovering the spatial fluctuations in the area and seeing five Life forms below with obscure auras that resembled Human Race.

Yu Yuanchen stepped forward and said calmly, "I'm new here and happen to need a 'guide'." He had a natural dislike for demons.

Before he finished speaking, he pointed forward lightly with his fingers like a sword.

There was no earth-shattering display, no dazzling Soul Skill light. It was just a Purple-Gold bolt, condensed to its extreme and as thin as a hair, shooting out from his fingertip.

"Stay." Yu Yuanchen said calmly, a slight thought stirring within him.

The Purple-Gold lightning bolt, as if it possessed Life of its own, drew a strange arc in the air, instantly appearing before the Demon Race, and then suddenly splitting into countless fine Thunder Runes, like an invisible net, instantly enveloping the Demon Race.

The suppressive and binding power contained in the Thunder Runes erupted, freezing the Demon Race Demonic Energy around the demonic expert as if it were frozen. His massive body froze in mid-air, with only his eyes still able to move in terror.

Yu Yuanchen's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the imprisoned Demon Race. His right hand was spread open, covered with a misty Purple-Gold Divine Essence, and he gently pressed it on the Demon Race's horned head, beginning the soul search.

The Spiritual Power of the Spirit Origin Realm was like the most precise probe, domineering yet skillfully invading the depths of the Demon Race's soul! The Demon Race's body trembled violently, emitting a silent wail, its eyes filled with pain and fear.

Yu Yuanchen closed his eyes and concentrated, quickly browsing and peeling away the fragments of memory from the Demon Race's soul.

This process is extremely painful for the person being searched and can cause irreversible damage to their soul, but what Yu Yuanchen needs at this moment is information, not its life.

A moment later, Yu Yuanchen withdrew his hand, a hint of understanding and solemnity flashing in his eyes. The Demon Race expert lay limp on the ground like a rag doll, his eyes glazed over, his aura weak. Although he was not dead, his soul had been severely damaged.

Gradually, Yu Yuanchen's brows began to furrow, because he realized that the Saint Demon Continent was currently three thousand years after the descent of the Demon God Pillar, and three thousand years before the birth of the main characters in the original story. As a result, his premonition of the plot might be compromised.

"How is it?" Qian Daoliu forward and asked.

Yu Yuanchen said in a deep voice, "This guy belongs to a branch of the Demon Race in this world called the ' Demon Race.' His form and energy characteristics are extremely similar to the creatures in the ' Demon Plane ' that invaded the Douluo Plane many years ago."

He paused, then continued, "High-ranking Demon Race possess extremely high intelligence and are not merely beasts that know only how to kill. From their fragmented memories, we know that the Demon Race race originated from the descendants of creatures infiltrated by the blood of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars that arrived from beyond the heavens three thousand years ago. Currently, the continent is in the midst of a long-term war between the Demon Race led by the ' Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods ' and a Human Race force called the ' Temple Alliance '."

The Demon Race race is powerful, constantly shrinking human territory, and the situation is extremely precarious. The area we are currently in is on the edge of the Demon Race realm, and according to him, their Demon God Emperor seems to be a being with Million Spirit Power, which should be equivalent to a level 100 being as we understand it."

Gu Yuena's cool voice rang out. "Given the current state of war, the Human Race is bound to face a difficult situation. However, we must act with even greater caution. I hope the three of you will exercise restraint for the time being and avoid getting involved in a large-scale conflict prematurely."

Yu Yuanchen agreed, "Miss Gu Yue is absolutely right. Since we have just arrived in this world, it is best not to confront the strongest force in this world before we have gathered sufficient information."

He said this, but his actions were equally swift; he casually unleashed a Yin Yang Divine Thunder, annihilating the Demon Race to ashes.

"My idea is that we don't need to contact them for now. I should be breaking through to a higher level, so let's find a safe place to do so first," Yu Yuanchen said.

Gu Yuena and the other three looked at Yu Yuanchen with surprise, but they all readily agreed.
