What Exactly is This Gnosis?

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Xiao, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others felt a jolt in their hearts, yet they couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Sect Master Ning is right!"

"Unless the Spirit Empire has collectively lost its mind, there is no way they would let Bibi Dong join the battle!"

Ning Fengzhi was certainly not wrong.

Just as before.

After the Sea God Tang San had fallen, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong no longer feared the Heaven Dou Empire at all.

Below the level of a god, all are but ants.

At the moment of the Sea God Tang San's death, when faced with the gods of the Spirit Empire, even if the Heaven Dou Empire possessed an army of a million, it would be absolutely useless!

At most, the sheer scale might shock some inexperienced god (Angel God Qian Renxue: Who are you talking about?), but if they truly tried to use human-wave tactics to fight—it would be like cutting vegetables.

"It makes sense!"

Xue Beng also nodded in agreement. "If the subsequent difficulty spikes, I fear even the gods will be unable to complete it, and at that time, this matter..."

"But what exactly is this Gnosis?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help but ask, "The voice of the Heavenly Dao from the Teleportation Gate didn't provide much explanation. How are we supposed to find it?"

"It must have something to do with their gods, surely—"

The crowd looked at one another, momentarily speechless, not knowing what to do.

They didn't know what the Gnosis was or where it was located; how were they supposed to complete this mission?

"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

Xue Beng started, and along with the others, he looked toward the source of the voice, only to see Yu Xiaogang standing with his hands behind his back, head held high, looking incredibly self-confident.

"What brilliant insight does the Imperial Preceptor have?"

"Your Majesty, if we do not deploy gods, I believe the Shrek Seven Devils can once again create a miracle!"

Yu Xiaogang said arrogantly, "The Shrek Seven Devils, trained under my guidance, are specifically meant to accomplish impossible missions!"

Tang Xiao, standing to the side, twitched his eyelid. "For example?"

"For example, the Sea God Island, which one can enter but never leave—the Shrek Seven Devils completed that mission perfectly!"

Tang Xiao, "?"

That counts?

It wasn't as if he hadn't been to Sea God Island himself.

What was there to brag about?

What a joke!

"This—"

Xue Beng was somewhat moved, yet still hesitant. "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Yu Xiaogang raised his head proudly and replied.

"I can give it a try!"

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

Though they were called the Shrek Seven Devils, in reality, the Sea God Tang San and the Asura Scabbard Xiao Wu were both in a coma, leaving only the Shrek Five Devils.

However.

These remaining Shrek Five Devils were basically all Title Douluo; among them, Xiao Wu was at the peak of level 95, Dai Mubai was at level 95, and the others were between level 93 and 94.

Of course.

Their actual combat power was naturally above that of Guibao Douluo.

And at this moment, Ma Hongjun possessed a soul power level at the peak of level 94.

"Fatty, you—"

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

Ma Hongjun, however, turned a deaf ear, his eyes fixed steadily on Xue Beng.

"This—"

Xue Beng was also somewhat hesitant.

The Shrek Seven Devils could be considered the core combat power of the Heaven Dou Empire, but right now—should they really be sent into battle?

Compared to the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire.

The Star Luo Empire was in a state of utter silence.

Especially after the majestic voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out announcing the death of Guibao Douluo, the entire imperial court was like a stagnant pool of water; no one dared to make a sound.

"You are all useless!"

The Star Luo Emperor cursed in a fit of rage, while the many ministers below lowered their heads, biting their lips tightly and daring not to make a sound.

"Snow Empress, should we—should we go and give it a try?"

In the Far North, within the Far North Forest (also known as the Frozen Forest).

Ice Empress could not help but speak up, "After being awakened by that voice, we've actually been divided into factions. This—"

"Perhaps it is an opportunity?"

She felt that her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation was looking precarious; if she participated and received a reward, wouldn't she be able to break through the barrier of her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation directly?

Furthermore!

She was also well aware that the Snow Empress's seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation was quite difficult as well, so—

"What is the rush?"

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

"But do you think that if those two go in, what could they possibly achieve?"

Ice Empress opened her mouth, but could not utter a single word.

Compared to the other factions.

The Star Dou Great Forest side, however, felt somewhat restless.

"Lord Beast God, should we—"

Beside him, the King of Ten Thousand Demons looked at the Teleportation Gate before them, feeling somewhat eager, "I feel that this other world seems quite interesting—"

"Stay calm!"

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "Let us first see how the other factions make their choices."

He was actually waiting for instructions from the Silver Dragon King.

Previously, when the Silver Dragon King intervened to save Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, and that human, others might not have known, but he was very clear about it.

Yet, at this moment, the Silver Dragon King had not sent any telepathic messages. Perhaps she had her own considerations, so—he decided to hold his position.

And just at this moment.

A majestic voice once again resounded in the hearts of all living beings on the Douluo Continent!

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

"Ouch!"

After Ma Hongjun stepped into the Teleportation Gate, a sensation of weightlessness washed over him, and he immediately fell with a thud into a patch of grass outside the Favonius Cathedral.

Even so, the fall still made Ma Hongjun wince and grimace in pain.

"Hiss—that hurts like hell!"

"Is this that Mondstadt City?"

He looked around.

At this moment, Mondstadt City was bathed in bright sunshine, but fortunately, there were no crowds coming and going, and no one had discovered him.

"Let me see what this is all about!"

With a flash of thought, he closed his eyes, and his vast, sea-like spiritual power immediately surged toward the interior of the Favonius Cathedral.

Inside the Favonius Cathedral.

Lumine frowned, looking as if she were deep in thought, with an Emergency Food floating beside her as they walked out of Jean's office.

"Now the trail has gone completely cold. That guy who came from nowhere didn't leave a single trace. What a pity—"

The Emergency Food spoke in a human voice, full of sighs.

"I have a feeling these people will come again—"

Just as Lumine was speaking, a figure dressed in bright, fiery red suddenly rushed over.

Caught off guard, the figure collided head-on with Lumine.

"Hey!"

Before Lumine could speak, the Emergency Food immediately cried out, "Traveler!"

"I'm fine!"

Lumine climbed to her feet, looking with some confusion at the little girl in bright red clothes who was kneeling on the ground before her, clutching her head.
