The Universe Master were drinking and chatting in small groups.

"Come here, everyone."

"There's another piece of good news I forgot to tell you all!" The City Lord of Chaos's excited voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, some of the nearby Universe Master' eyes lit up, and they immediately surrounded the City Lord of Chaos. Some even shouted, "Chaos, what other good news is there?"

The City Lord of Chaos smiled and glanced at Lu Yan'an, then addressed the surrounding human powerhouses. "Do you all still remember our original purpose when we obtained the Supreme True Treasure Giant Axe?"

"Didn't we say before that we were going to rescue Tian Xin? Tian Xin, by chance, obtained a treasure that even the Two Holy Land Universes coveted," the Ice Peak Master said. "Could it be this treasure that caused the dispute?"

The City Lord of Chaos smiled and nodded. Then, with a thought, a projection of the Silk-Pulling Map instantly floated in the air.

"Hiss! This is Silk Thread? No, it's actually Silk-Pulling Map specially made from Silk Thread to record geographical information!"

The Universe Master present were immediately excited. They never imagined that a powerful being would be so extravagant as to use Silk Thread to create a map. Even among the strongest lone warriors of the era, few had such a grand gesture. As everyone knows, Silk Thread are extremely precious materials, and using them to create a map is simply extravagant to the point of waste!

"It looks like it's from the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm, right?"

"We still don't know how large the area is recorded on it, but just by looking at the size of this Silk-Pulling Map, we can basically conclude that this thing is invaluable!"

The various Universe Master began to chat excitedly, each of them engaging in lively conversation.

The City Lord of Chaos nodded slightly, his voice deep and resonant. "Regarding the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm, it is twice as large as the area originally known to our Human Race, and it even includes some core areas."

Immediately, another wave of joy and celebration swept through the air. Many Universe Master approached Lu Yan'an with wine glasses in hand, some expressing Lu Yan'an, others offering Lu Yan'an... Amidst this lively atmosphere, Lu Yan'an also sensed the unity of the Human Race, recognizing that at least in terms of the common good, everyone shared the same goal.

"Lu Yan'an." Giant Axe personally went to Lu Yan'an sought him out alone.

"The Giant Axe Founder," Lu Yan'an replied.

"You've given away this Silk-Pulling Map for free, and it's a map that records information about the Jedi."

The Giant Axe Founder, his eyes sharp, sighed, "Your contribution to the race is immense, but the stronger the individual, the more the race's strength requires their sacrifice. Logically, this map should be worth over ten thousand Supreme Treasure Points."

"However, the treasures of a race are also limited; they were accumulated only through the endless dedication of the Universe Master over countless Years."

"Therefore, when contributions are too great, the tribe cannot provide an equivalent return." Giant Axe looked at Lu Yan'an.

Lu Yan'an smiled as well. He had always been well aware of this fact—the treasure trove of the race was finite, supported only by the contributions of these dozen or so Universe Master and two of the Universe Supreme Being. In the past, it was mainly the contributions of the Giant Axe Founder that supported the development of the entire Human Race. Now that the City Lord of Chaos had broken through, he could also help the Giant Axe Founder share some of the burden! But it was completely impossible to drive the development of the entire race by relying solely on the two strongest beings. The development of the Human Race required the conscious feedback from every strong being from top to bottom.

"The fact that this Silk-Pulling Map came into the hands of our Human Race is entirely thanks to the timely arrival of you two, the Chaos Giant Axe Founder and Uncle Chaos!" Lu Yan'an said with a sigh. "If it weren't for your suppression, even if I had obtained it, I wouldn't have been able to keep it!"

He had a clear understanding of himself; the fact that the Silk-Pulling Map ended up in his hands was purely due to good luck, while the strength of the Giant Axe Founder and the City Lord of Chaos was the fundamental guarantee.

"If it weren't for your intervention, this Silk-Pulling Map would have been impossible to protect!" Lu Yan'an interrupted the Giant Axe Founder, "So there's no need to discuss the reward further. If I had protected this Silk-Pulling Map through my own strength, I certainly wouldn't have given up my rightful share! But now..."

He shook his head, paused slightly, and then added, "Let's talk about the Silk-Pulling Map itself. When I was looking at Silk-Pulling Map before, I found some issues that I need to discuss with everyone first!"

In the Virtual Universe, Lu Yan'an pointed, and a 1:1 replica of the Silk-Pulling Map floated in mid-air.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the original owner of this Silk-Pulling Map should have been a powerful being, one of the Universe Supreme Being. Their strength is comparable to that of 'Xuan Yuan,' the Universe Supreme Being during the Great Destruction era countless Years ago!"

Everyone present was shocked after hearing Lu Yan'an's words.

"Xuan Yuan? Could it be that Xuan Yuan Universe Supreme Being who loves adventure and exploration?" Lord of Youhou asked. Among all the Universe Master, Lord of Youhou was the youngest and lacked sufficient knowledge about information from before the Great Destruction.

"If what you say is true, and this powerful figure's strength is indeed comparable to Xuan Yuan, then our Human Race has truly struck it lucky this time!" After a long silence, Lord of Peng Gong slowly spoke. As one of the most ancient Universe Master of the Human Race, Lord of Peng Gong understood very well what Lu Yan'an's words meant.

"Yes, of course, this is just my personal opinion!" Lu Yan'an nodded to everyone, then continued, "The detailed information about the Qingfeng Mountain obtained from the clan, combined with the detailed map on this Silk-Pulling Map, all the information points to one place— the Dim Land!"

As Lu Yan'an explained, the Silk-Pulling Map in mid-air and the map of the Qingfeng Mountain possessed by the Human Race complemented each other, miraculously forming a vacuum zone in the Dim Land area of the core region!

The Dim Land is an extremely terrifying area within the "Core Region of the Qingfeng Mountain"! Compared to it, places like the so-called Flame and Ice Domain and the God-Extinguishing Ravine in the Inner Domain of Universe Boat are simply child's play. You should know that any place in the core region is far more terrifying than places like the God-Extinguishing Ravine. Not to mention the "Dim Land," which is notorious even within the core region.

According to current intelligence on the Human Race, while the danger of the Dim Land is extremely terrifying, it is only considered moderate in the core areas. However... once someone falls into the Dim Land, no one ever comes out alive! It is a prison of despair! This certain death rate is completely incompatible with the "moderate danger" mentioned in the intelligence reports.

"Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?" Lu Yan'an asked gravely, pointing to the map floating in mid-air. "An incomparably powerful Universe Supreme Being, and the accumulated wisdom of our Human Race over countless Years, have left not a single clue in this Dim Land. And most importantly, this unknown being has left no trace in this Dim Land, the only Core Land of the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm!"

"What do you mean?" Giant Axe looked at Lu Yan'an and asked with a rather solemn expression.

"Either it sensed the danger in this Dim Land and avoided it, or this unknown strongest being perished in this Dim Land! Either way, it shows this place is no safe haven!" Lu Yan'an analyzed. "The Giant Axe currently possesses near-ninth-tier strength. While this level of power is considered top-tier in the current Universe Ocean, it would be extremely difficult for it to draw such a vast map as this unknown strongest being."

"Indeed! Although my current strength is among the top in the entire Universe Ocean, it is still beyond my capabilities to complete such a massive map!" The Giant Axe Founder did not shy away from admitting his actual situation.

Seeing the Giant Axe Founder speak so frankly, Lu Yan'an continued, "The Giant Axe's current strength is still not up to the level of this strongest stranger. So what reason do we have not to take this dangerous place seriously, since even the strongest stranger avoids it or has already perished here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement. According to Lu Yan'an's logic, there was indeed no way to refute this statement!

"Giant Axe, Uncle-Master Chaos! Actually, I'm saying all this mainly to remind you two that currently, the only strong individuals in our Human Race qualified to venture into the core area of Qingfeng Mountain are the two of you!" He said solemnly, "If you are venturing into the core area of Qingfeng Mountain, remember to avoid this perilous place!"
