After regaining their Intelligence, the newly awakened giant wolves began searching for their people on the grasslands.

For them, the temple that inherited Intelligence has been reclaimed; it's time to save their ignorant people from their misery.

They were very anxious because they didn't know when Old Wang would leave, or whether the temple would be lost.

The Giant Wolf Chief did not go; instead, he came to Old Wang and expressed his gratitude once more.

At the same time, the Giant Wolf Chief handed a gem to Old Wang and said, "My lord, this is an item left over from our clan since Ancient times. Please keep it as a memento!"

"Okay, then I'll..."

Old Wang was about to agree, but then he couldn't take his eyes off the stone.

For no other reason than the properties of this thing!

[Haier World Aquamarine] (Perfect)

Note: This is a valuable gem produced in the small Haier World; some NPCs might like it.

If this note wasn't a lie, then things are in serious trouble.

Perhaps this world never belonged to the Abyss at all; it appeared in the Abyss after the collapse of heaven and earth.

This also explains why the giant wolves were so astonished when they saw the white clouds and lightning in the last painting.

Because these things didn't originally exist in their world, they were so shocked and recorded it in the form of murals.

After figuring things out, Old Wang began searching for other evidence in the palace, and he actually found some.

Behind the statues in the palace, it was written in Chinese:

"This is the twenty-first world. What should we do after these worlds fall into the Abyss? Where is our way home?"

The diary-like tone made Old Wang suspect that it might have been left behind by the Eleventh Demon God.

However, it doesn't matter who left it; this statement proves that the grassland was indeed "plundered" from the Abyss.

What were these plundered worlds like before? And what were these smaller worlds?

After seeing these words, Old Wang received a system notification in his mind:

"System notification: You have discovered a part of the Abyss's true nature and have been awarded the Title reward [Abyss Explorer]."

Having his guess confirmed by the system, Old Wang was speechless at this moment.

If the Haier Grassland were plundered from the Abyss, what about other regions? Were they the same?

Each region of the Abyss is so different, and there's so much of a sense of division between them. Is it because they originally belonged to different worlds?

Is this the reason why there are so many races in the Abyss? If not, what is the true nature of the Abyss?

What role did the Demon God play in this? Did it propel things forward, hinder them, or remain absolutely neutral?

At this moment, Old Wang was filled with interest in the Abyss; he was eager to know everything.

Unfortunately, after searching the palace for four days without finding anything, Old Wang had no choice but to leave.

Because if he wants to go home, he must advance to the next round of the selection competition; if he doesn't rush back now, it might be too late.

Left with no other option, Old Wang could only fly towards the location of the Floating Platform.

As soon as Old Wang left, the Giant Wolf Chief sensed the spot where Old Wang had disappeared.

After confirming that Old Wang had truly disappeared, it actually spoke, chanting in the Abyssal Language for a while before the temple vanished from the grassland.

It seems they weren't entirely without means to protect the temple; perhaps the incident happened so suddenly back then that they didn't have time to act.

It's unclear whether the giant wolves were hiding something special, but unfortunately, Old Wang knew nothing about it.

~~~

After two days of flying, Old Wang finally arrived at the other side, not far below the Floating Platform.

At this moment, many experts from other races have gathered here, but because Old Wang has deliberately concealed himself, no one else has noticed him yet.

With one day left in the competition, he prepared to make a final appearance and rush towards the Floating Platform.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and at the same time, more and more people were gathering here.

As expected, Old Wang's stealth was Stealth, and he was caught red-handed.

It was really Old Wang's bad luck. These people weren't actually targeting him at first; they just wanted to catch a bunch of stealthy campers since the time was almost up.

The team that found Old Wang was just incredibly lucky; a phosphorescent bomb hit right next to Old Wang.

They saw that a Stealth unit was present and originally wanted to rush up and compete with him.

But after they saw what he looked like, they walked past Old Wang with a ferocious expression, as if their original killing intent wasn't directed at him at all.

Looking at these people's fake acting, Old Wang didn't know what to say earlier.

With Old Wang's formidable record, virtually no one on the field dares to mess with him right now.

Even the Legendary Ninth Rank Lord of the Marshland has fallen; how dare these contestants, who are not even at the Legendary Ninth Rank, provoke him?

Now that he'd been exposed, Old Wang didn't bother hiding anymore, since he didn't seem to sense any Legendary Ninth Rank aura here.

Because of the Demon God's command, the Twelve Demon God Priests did not cause him any more trouble, and Old Wang had a very peaceful day.

When the seven days were up, led by a figure, Old Wang and the others flew towards the Floating Platform.

Because they were a step too late, Old Wang and his group ended up in the second tier.

But the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. The first few figures were shot down by the group, and Old Wang and his group took advantage of the situation to move forward and join the first group.

This time they became the target of concentrated fire, but Old Wang easily withstood the damage, while those around him were not so lucky.

Of the 12 men in his team, only one managed to block the attack, but he was also injured.

That was enough. It and Old Wang flashed onto the platform together, and the two advanced together.

Old Wang looked at the contestant who flew up with him with some curiosity, because the other party was a Great Flame Demon with two wings on its back.

The Great Flame Demon is not the Flame Demon of the Yama Domain. Flame Demon are Elemental Creature whose bodies are made of Lava and who wield Abyss magic.

This Great Flame Demon is a Demon race with wings on its back, dark red skin all over its body, and a pair of sharp horns on its head.

Although they are both fire and Abyss attribute, they are not the same species.

Great Flame Demon are actually quite rare in the Abyss now, because they are the mortal enemies of Flame Demon, mainly because of their names.

How could the Flame Demons, which boasts over ten Epic- level warriors, possibly allow a race to be called the Great Flame Demon?

After a long period of wrangling, the increasingly powerful Flame Demon launched a war against the region where the Great Flame Demon resided, and slashed the region to a draw in one battle.

The Great Flame Demons was almost wiped out, with only a few small tribes barely surviving.

However, this is only what everyone knows on the surface. According to Zero's understanding, there seems to be Demon God involved.

The people in the stands couldn't understand why it had come to participate in the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains, because the Flame Demon of the Flame Demon would never let it go.

Old Wang didn't have many thoughts on this; he just thought the Great Flame Demon was pretty cool.

The remaining 100 people were quickly gathered. After the 100th person stepped onto the platform, the platform announced the end of the competition to those below, and the people below immediately stopped fighting.

After all, the match was over, and it wouldn't make sense to continue fighting. If they kept going, it would easily create hatred, and if the two Star Domain were close to each other, it would become a real regional war.

These one hundred contestants come from all races and different Star Domain.

Most of them were humanoid creatures, with only three being non-humanoid: a Lion, an owl, and a snake.

At the same time, Old Wang also discovered that most of these people had purchased the Legend Heart Core, which shows that the Core Heart really has a big impact on this competition.

However, what Old Wang didn't notice was that "Demon" made up more than two-thirds of these one hundred people.

For Old Wang, Demon were no different from other Abyss units, but for the people in the Abyss, it was a different story.

The Demon race was once the overlord of this world, but after the Twelve Demon Gods awakened, many of them were wiped out because they were mostly unruly.

True Demon are extremely rare in the Abyss now. With so many Demon appearing, no one in the Abyss would believe they aren't plotting something.

Even though some of these Demon weren't even original participants, the Twelve Demon God Priests still announced their advancement.

It seems he completely disregarded them, and Old Wang treated them all the same.
