What Exactly Is This Gnosis?

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Xiao, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others felt their hearts tighten. They couldn't help nodding. "Sect Master Ning makes a good point!"

"Unless the Spirit Hall Empire has collectively lost its minds, there's no way they'd let Bibi Dong join the fight!"

Ning Fengzhi was absolutely right.

Just like before.

After Sea God Tang San fell, Rakshasa God Bibi Dong had no reason to fear the Heaven Dou Empire.

Beneath the gods, all were but ants.

When Sea God Tang San died, even if the Heaven Dou Empire had a million troops, they would be utterly useless against the gods of the Spirit Hall Empire!

At most, they might startle some sheltered god who had never seen the world (Angel God Qian Renxue: Who are you calling sheltered?). But if they actually tried to win with sheer numbers—it would be like chopping vegetables.

"Good point!"

Xue Beng nodded in agreement. "If the difficulty keeps rising, even the gods might not be able to complete it. When that happens..."

"But what exactly is this Gnosis?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help asking. "The Heavenly Dao's voice from the Teleportation Gate didn't explain it in any detail. How are we supposed to find it?"

"It should have something to do with their gods..."

The others looked at one another. For a moment, no one knew what to say or what to do.

They didn't even know what the Gnosis was or where to find it. How were they supposed to complete the mission?

"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

Xue Beng started, then turned with the others toward the voice. Yu Xiaogang stood there with his hands behind his back, chin held high, exuding an almost absurd confidence.

"What insights do you have, Grand Tutor?"

"Your Majesty, if we don't send a god, then I believe the Shrek Seven Devils can create another miracle!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke arrogantly. "The Shrek Seven Devils I trained were made for completing the impossible!"

Nearby, Tang Xiao's eyelid twitched. "For example?"

"Take Sea God Island, where you could enter but never leave. The Shrek Seven Devils completed that mission perfectly!"

Tang Xiao: "?"

That counted?

He'd been to Sea God Island himself, hadn't he?

What was there to brag about?

What a joke!

"This..."

Xue Beng was tempted, but still hesitant. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Yu Xiaogang raised his head proudly as he answered.

"I can give it a try!"

Ma Hongjun thought for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke.

They were called the Shrek Seven Devils, but Sea God Tang San and Xiao Wu, the Asura Scabbard, were both unconscious. In reality, only the Shrek Five Devils remained.

However.

The remaining five Shrek members were practically all Titled Douluo. Xiao Wu was at the peak of level ninety-five, Dai Mubai was level ninety-five, and the others ranged from level ninety-three to ninety-four.

Of course.

Their actual combat strength was certainly above that of Guibao Douluo.

As for Ma Hongjun, his Soul Power Level was at the peak of level ninety-four.

"Fatty, you..."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai and the others, even Flender, looked at him in surprise.

But Ma Hongjun ignored them, keeping his eyes fixed on Xue Beng.

"This..."

Xue Beng hesitated.

The Shrek Seven Devils were now the Heaven Dou Empire's most vital fighting force. But given the situation... should they really join the fight?

Compared with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall Empire,

the Star Luo Empire was utterly silent.

Especially after the Heavenly Dao's solemn voice announced Guibao Douluo's death. The whole imperial court was like a pool of dead water, and not a single person dared speak.

"You're all useless!"

The Star Luo Emperor cursed furiously. The ministers below lowered their heads and bit their lips, not daring to make a sound.

"Snow Empress, should we... give it a try?"

In the Far North, in the Far North Forest, also known as the Frozen Forest,

the Ice Empress couldn't help speaking up. "After that voice woke us, it even assigned us to a team. This..."

"Maybe it's an opportunity?"

She felt her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation was uncertain. If they took part and earned a reward, wouldn't she be able to break through the four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation?

And besides!

She knew very well that Snow Empress's seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation would be difficult too, so...

"What's the rush?"

Snow Empress glanced at her and said coolly, "Aside from you and me, there are only A-Tai and Xiao Bai in the Far North."

"But what do you think those two can accomplish if they go in?"

The Ice Empress opened her mouth, but couldn't find a single thing to say.

Compared with the other factions,

the Star Dou Great Forest was also growing restless.

"Beast God, should we..."

Nearby, King of Ten Thousand Demons stared eagerly at the Teleportation Gate. "I feel like this other world could be pretty fun..."

"Hold your horses!"

Di Tian said solemnly. "Let's first see what the other factions decide."

Truthfully, he was waiting for the Silver Dragon King's instructions.

The Silver Dragon King had previously stepped in to save Xiong Jun, the Scarlet King, and that human. Others might not know about it, but he certainly did.

But the Silver Dragon King hadn't sent him any word. Perhaps she had her own reasons, so... he decided to stay put for now.

Just then.

The solemn voice once again rang out in the hearts of every living being on the Douluo Continent!

[Heaven Dou Empire faction contestant Ma Hongjun has entered the Teleportation Gate. The Teleportation Gates of all other factions are now temporarily closed!

"Ow!"

After Ma Hongjun entered the Teleportation Gate, a wave of weightlessness swept over him, and he promptly landed with a thump in a patch of grass outside Favonius Cathedral.

Even so, the fall left Ma Hongjun gritting his teeth in pain.

"Ow... that hurts!"

"So this is Mondstadt City?"

He looked around.

The sun shone brightly over Mondstadt City, and fortunately, there were no people coming and going to spot him.

"Let's see what's going on here!"

With that thought, he closed his eyes. His vast, ocean-like mental power immediately spread toward Favonius Cathedral.

Inside Favonius Cathedral,

Lumine frowned, seemingly lost in thought, as she walked out of Jean's office with Emergency Food floating beside her.

"All the clues have gone cold. That guy who came from who-knows-where didn't leave a single trace. What a shame..."

Emergency Food spoke aloud, full of regret.

"I think those people will definitely come back..."

As Lumine was speaking, a bright-red figure suddenly rushed toward her.

Caught off guard, she collided head-on with Lumine.

"Hey!"

Before Lumine could say anything, Emergency Food immediately cried, "Traveler!"

"I'm fine!"

Lumine got back to her feet, looking at the little girl in bright red who was sitting on the ground in front of her, holding her head.
