Qian Renxue recalled that when she had planned to head to the Star Luo Empire, she had intended to go to the place occupied by the Abyss Monsters. "Abyss Monsters" was also the name Douluo Continent's people used for these mysterious creatures—monsters that attacked the people of Douluo Continent as if they had come from the Abyss.
God Realm.
"I was wondering why they were different from the Abyss Plane I knew. So from the very beginning, 'Abyss Monsters' was merely a collective term born of the people of Douluo Continent's ignorance. They were not the same existence as the Abyss Plane at all."
After seeing the Sky Screen's contents, the God of Goodness also understood why these Abyss Monsters differed from the Abyss Plane he knew. It turned out that "Abyss Monsters" was merely the name people of Douluo Continent gave these creatures. They were not the Abyss Plane at all.
"Looks like the names merely happened to be the same."
The God of Destruction echoed from the side.
"But where exactly did a world like this come from? Why have we never heard of it? I know the universe is vast, but why have we never heard of these monsters in all this time?"
The Goddess of Life voiced her curiosity.
"The universe is vast. There will always be things we do not know about. Let us keep watching. Perhaps we will learn something."
The Evil God King spoke.
"Still, if these Abyss Monsters come to Douluo Continent, we should intervene. If they invade, perhaps the energy of their plane can be used to strengthen the God Realm. In any case, they have invaded a plane under our jurisdiction, so we have every reason to resist the invaders."
"That makes sense."
The other three God Kings agreed with this view.
"By the way, why has the Asura God not arrived yet? We clearly sent someone to notify him, so why is he still not here?"
The God of Destruction was beginning to grow dissatisfied with the absent Asura God. An important matter was about to be discussed, yet one of the God Realm's five great God Kings had yet to arrive. That naturally displeased him.
Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Uncle Sword, what level do you think Qian Renxue's current strength has reached?"
Ning Fengzhi was very curious. As Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, what level was Qian Renxue's strength at in the Sky Screen? The Qian Renxue shown there had lost her memories, but she already understood Soul Skills and the power of her Martial Soul. She should have recovered at least some of her former strength.
"Fengzhi, I may not feel comfortable saying this, but I think this Qian Renxue might be stronger than me. During the process of her using Soul Skills to fight those monsters, I sensed that she should be somewhat stronger than I am. However, her Soul Skills seem to have special effects against these monsters—like how light-element Soul Skills deal special damage to dark-element Soul Masters or Soul Beasts. I cannot be certain, but I believe the Qian Renxue in the Sky Screen is stronger than me."
Chen Xin voiced his opinion.
"Although I did not see the color of Qian Renxue's Soul Rings and only saw her use Soul Skills, I could still sense that their power was greater than any of ours."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also stepped forward and gave his opinion. Although they had not seen the colors of Qian Renxue's Soul Rings, their power alone far surpassed theirs.
"If what the Sky Screen shows is true, and monsters really will invade Douluo Continent in the future, then I still hope Spirit Hall will be stronger. That way, there will be taller people to stand in front of us."
Ning Fengzhi also expressed his thoughts. In the past, he would have wished for Spirit Hall to be weaker. But if monsters truly would invade Douluo Continent in the future, he still hoped Spirit Hall would be stronger and help them resist those creatures.
"In any case, we should make preparations now, such as forming alliances with other Soul Masters. If everything shown by the Sky Screen is true, then we must prepare as quickly as possible."
Chen Xin could not determine whether the Sky Screen's contents were real, but he felt that what it showed seemed to be hinting at something.
Clear Sky Sect.
Ever since the first-generation Haotian Douluo, Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect had possessed formidable combat strength. Now, all of its elders were Titled Douluo, and its sect master was one as well.
They had originally planned to leave the mountains only after their strength was sufficient, but what was playing in the sky made them begin to consider whether they should emerge now.
"Everyone, I cannot be certain whether what the Sky Screen shows is real. But if it is, I think it would be best for us to remain sealed in the mountains. However, we cannot simply focus on staying hidden. We should contact other Soul Master factions and make preparations."
The Second Elder expressed his opinion, and many other disciples of the Clear Sky Sect agreed with him.
"I think the Second Elder makes a great deal of sense. If everything shown by the Sky Screen is true, then we should not leave the mountains. Let Spirit Hall fight those monsters. Once they are finished, we can emerge and seize the opportunity to show the world once more the might of the number one sect under heaven."
A disciple of the Clear Sky Sect voiced his opinion.
"I also agree completely with Second Brother. If what is shown above is true, then let Spirit Hall fight them. We can reap some benefits afterward."
At that moment, the Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, also stood and spoke.
Qian Renxue had once secretly infiltrated the occupied capital of the Star Luo Empire alone. Along the way, she encountered many refugees fleeing the capital and many people who wanted to escape the Star Luo Empire. Qian Renxue helped them all, helping as many as she could. Soon afterward, she secretly slipped into the capital of the Star Luo Empire, but it had already become a place occupied by the Abyss Monsters.
Soon, everyone saw through the Sky Screen a group of monsters occupying the capital of the Star Luo Empire.
"These ugly monsters are truly disgusting."
"Seeing them appear in this magnificent capital makes me sick. As a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, I will fight these monsters to the death!"
"I think these monsters are disgusting too!"
"Some of them are even clinging to the walls."
"Even the flags have been torn down. What a humiliation."
"I wonder how the Heaven Dou Empire is doing?"
