"By the way, Your Majesty."

Amidst the surging shouts, the Old Strange Entity standing beside Jiu Wu suddenly seemed to realize something and hesitated, saying, "The Mortal Domain shouldn't be able to find this place, right?"

Hearing this, Jiu Wu, who was in a good mood, subconsciously shivered and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Mortal Domain...

He now has a conditioned reflex to hearing those two words.

After spending that year together, he thought he had gained some understanding of the Mortal Domain, but after learning that the "Royal Clan" king had died at the hands of the Mortal Domain, he realized that he still knew far too little about Mortal Domain.

But soon, he took a deep breath and grinned. "Don't worry, we're very, very far from the Mortal Domain, so far that we don't even know how far. We definitely won't have a chance to meet the Mortal Domain again."

In fact.

It is indeed very far.

This is another Sea Domain reached through the Fissure the "Primordial Continent," and it is unknown how far away the "Eternal Night Continent" is. Theoretically speaking, they should never meet again in this lifetime.

He will not return to the Primordial Continent.

He has been expelled from the Strange Entity Clan, and whether the Primordial Continent shatters or not is no longer of any concern to him.

The Strange Entity Clan? I'm not familiar with them.

He is the king of the Retirement Clan.

Retirement Life is wonderful, just like that year's Retirement Life, but I always feel like something is missing.

Standing tens of meters tall, the Jiu Wu- foot-tall figure clicked its tongue, looked around, and smiled with satisfaction.

And on the distant sea.

A large, Illusory Black Tortoise that had re-formed in the "Yellow Springs Mouth Region" seven days ago was now running wildly across the sea with an indifferent expression, heading straight for the small island where Jiu Wu was located. Crossing the Thunderstorm Sea was no challenge for the Illusory Black Tortoise.

No matter how far away they are, they will be punished.

Mission accomplished.

This is Black Tortoise.

This is Absolute Lock-On; once locked, even if the target dies and is resurrected, it will be locked again.

Jiangbei Mortal Domain.

Chen Fan stood on the defensive line with a smile on his face. Seven days had passed since the king who had slaughtered the Royal Clan. During these seven days, the Strange Tide had not launched another attack, giving them a long time to digest the resources.

The most significant achievement is...

Having completed the verification of all the Building Blueprints collected over the past few days, on today, the seventh day, he found the Building Blueprint for the "Vermilion Bird Cannon".

Yes.

All done.

The Heavenly Dao Cannons are complete.

"White Tiger Cannon", "Black Tortoise Cannon", "Azure Dragon Cannon", "Vermilion Bird Cannon".

The Four Divine Cannons are all here.

He turned his head to look at the Vermilion Bird Cannon located beside him on the "First Defense Line of the Yellow Springs Mouth Mortal Domain".

The cannon barrels are long and slender, with nine barrels twisted together.

The surface has a relief of Vermilion Bird, which looks like a rocket launcher.

I

Building Name: Vermilion Bird Cannon

"Building grade": Blue Grade.

Building Level: 10.

"Architectural Effect": Defensive Structure.

"Max-Level Effect": Vermilion Bird Appears: One of the Four Divine Cannons, it simultaneously creates four Divine Cannons that can be fused into the Heavenly Dao Cannon.

The Black Tortoise Cannon has Absolute Lock-On.

The White Tiger Cannon possesses absolute power.

The Azure Dragon Cannon is Absolute Death.

The Vermilion Bird Cannon, however, is about... absolute speed.

Chen Fan had a thought.

The Vein Patterns on the "Vermilion Bird Cannon" beside him were instantly illuminated, and the Vermilion Bird relief on the cannon barrels became lifelike, spreading its wings and soaring high. The faint sound of the Vermilion Bird's cry could be heard. Then, the nine cannon barrels began to spin rapidly.

Strands of shells, trailing Crimson Streamer, ripped through the sky and crashed heavily onto the Wasteland outside the defensive line, blasting out huge craters.

The Vermilion Bird Cannon has an extremely high projectile speed, even comparable to that of the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

And now.

It's time for the four to be combined.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, looked at the four Blue Grade Divine Cannons placed beside him, and clicked the fusion option on the building panel Depths of the Soul.

The next moment, the Azure Dragon soared into the heavens, Black Tortoise pacified the Heaven and Earth.

The White Tiger in the mountain stream, the Vermilion Bird sings in all directions.

These four Cannon Tower seemed to come alive, rapidly melting and gradually coalescing into an extremely exaggerated "heavy cannon," occupying a vast area equivalent to that of seven or eight Godslayer Cannons.

The overall appearance is extremely rustic.

It resembles the heavy cannons on ancient City.

There was no luxury whatsoever in the place.

Unlike the "Black Tortoise Cannon", it is an unconventional Cannon Tower.

It also doesn't have a flashy appearance like the "Azure Dragon Cannon".

It's nothing like the "White Tiger Cannon," which looks extremely ferocious at first glance.

It looks extremely ordinary.

Aside from being a bit bigger, it has almost nothing special about it.

Even its control panel.

It is also extremely ordinary.

Building Name: Heavenly Dao Cannon

Building grade: Purple Grade.

Building Level: 10.

"Architectural Effect": Defensive Structure.

"Max-Level Effect": All Things Are Straw Dogs: Heaven and Earth Share Longevity.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the panel in front of him. To be honest, he couldn't see anything particularly impressive about it. The only special thing was that this building didn't need any upgrades; he hadn't upgraded it at all, and it was already level 10 when he built it.

That is, the maximum level.

Currently, the level cap for most buildings within the "Mortal Domain" is almost entirely level 10.

He had assumed that buildings of higher grade would have a higher level cap, but that wasn't the case either.

But the name of this Max-Level Effect is...

That sounds a bit crazy.

All Things Are Straw Dogs.

To test its effectiveness, he immediately turned and walked to the defensive line, heading towards the Teleportation Formation to go to the Jiangbei Desert. That was a good test zone, not suitable for testing on the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line. He intended to use this Heavenly Dao Cannon as a trump card to catch the Royal Clan off guard. It wouldn't be good if the Royal Clan found out about its power.

Jiangbei, Desert.

Chen Fan stood on the Flying Boat, looking down at the makeshift City Wall, dozens of meters high, and a "Heavenly Dao Cannon" mounted on City Wall.

He was silently calculating in his mind.

One Heavenly Dao Cannon requires the fusion of four max-level Divine Cannons. He had tried it; if he fused four level-one Divine Cannons, the resulting Heavenly Dao Cannon would be level-one.

If you fuse a level 10 Divine Cannon with three level 1 cannons, the resulting weapon will also be level 1.

In other words...

A fully upgraded Heavenly Dao Cannon costs 10 million Eerie Stones.

The price isn't low.

The Godslayer Cannon only costs 37,800 Eerie Stones to build.

This means that the "Heavenly Dao Cannon" is destined not to be a conventional Cannon Tower; it must be an unconventional Cannon Tower. The mainstream conventional Cannon Tower will still be the "Godslayer Cannon."

The next moment, when the Copper Pipe was lit up, the Vein Patterns on the Heavenly Dao Cannon mounted on the City Wall below were illuminated, and he knew that there were two attack methods.

One is a point, the other is a surface.

Let's try the noodles first.

The Heavenly Dao Cannon was lit, and for some unknown reason, dark clouds quickly gathered in Heaven and Earth sky.

Immediately afterwards!

The Heavenly Dao Cannon fired an inconspicuous shell that blasted into the dark clouds, pausing for a few breaths.

A clap of thunder suddenly rang out.

In an instant, almost endless lightning bolts emerged from the dark clouds and began to bombard the Jiangbei Desert with an extremely dense and violent force.

The light of the sun and moon has vanished from the entire Heaven and Earth.

What you see.

Only the Torrential Rain and lightning raged like a torrential downpour.

The scope is vast.

It covers almost a third of the Desert.

66

Standing on the Flying Boat, Chen Fan stared blankly at the scene before him. He could hardly see anything; countless bolts of lightning almost grazed the Flying Boat as they fell.

At that moment, all he could see was the Heavenly Thunder.

The Heavenly Dao Cannon belongs to him, so naturally we won't bomb it.

The Torrential Rain and lightning, like a torrential downpour, lasted for about the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn before suddenly dissipating and the dark clouds clearing.

Looking down at the Desert again.

Large, crystalline particles have already appeared.

One Heavenly Dao Cannon consumes 1 million Eerie Stones.

It's very cheap.

That's equivalent to the price of one shot of the "Black Tortoise Cannon".

This is a surface-based attack method, suitable for dealing with large numbers of Strange Tides.

Next, he prepared to try another "point" attack method, however...

When he wanted to fire at a flat angle, that is, to lay the cannon barrel flat and fire at an angle parallel to the Desert.

The "Heavenly Dao Cannon" building on the panel kept flashing red, while the manual "Fire" button was grayed out, indicating that it could not be fired. In the lower right corner, there was a line of small gray text. "Force Fire?"

The panel will not flash red only when he fires at an upward angle.

"Strangeness?"

Chen Fan, aboard the Flying Boat, frowned slightly as he looked down at the Heavenly Dao Cannon situated in the Desert. What was going on? He clearly remembered that back at the "Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line One," even when the cannon barrel was on flat ground, the panel wouldn't flash red.

Why is it flashing red here?

Could it be...?

Is its power too great, will it affect the Mortal Domain?

This place is located Jiangbei, and there are indeed many Mortal Domain buildings outside the Desert.

Return to the defensive line.

Although he could force a launch, the panel was flashing red, so there was no need for him to go against the panel.

A few breaths later.

Chen Fan returned to the "Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line One". With the Teleportation Formation array, traveling back and forth would be much easier and would hardly waste any time.

He looked toward the Heavenly Dao Cannon positioned on the defensive line.

Level the cannon muzzle.

Targeting the Yellow Springs Mouth Region, the former Habitat Jiu Wu.

This time the panel didn't flash red.

It can be launched normally.

It only pops up three options.

"1: (Heaven Cannon), requires 1 million Eerie Stones."

"2: (Dao Cannon), requires 10 million Eerie Stones."

"3: (All Things Are Straw Dogs, Heaven and Earth Share Longevity), requires 100 million Eerie Stones."

Chen Fan scoffed. This Heavenly Dao Cannon had quite a few uses. Just the use of a single "point" had three options. The most expensive Heavenly Dao Cannon required him to spend 100 million Eerie Stones to fire one shot.

Are you kidding me?

It took him ten million Eerie Stones to forge a Heavenly Dao Cannon.

Let's try 1 million coins first.

The next moment.

The barrel was flat, and several rays of white light suddenly appeared in front of the barrel, forming a "sky|" character. Then, an extremely thick pillar of blazing light suddenly spurted out from the muzzle.

It was bombarded towards the Yellow Springs Mouth Region.

The Strange Tides have ceased in the Yellow Springs Mouth Region; the army has retreated, leaving only a few scattered Strange Entities.

This Blazing Pillar was a full hundred meters thick.

5,000 meters.

It was as if a burning stick had been plunged into butter; the Strange Entities in its path were almost instantly vaporized. He could feel an extremely terrifying aura emanating from this Golden Light Pillar.

The Ghost Emperor is definitely no match for him and will surely die.

Even stronger ones would be difficult to stop.

Chen Fan stared blankly at the scene before him. If this "Heavenly Dao Cannon" was located on the Nameless Mountain, and the Strange Entities could only attack the Nameless Mountain from the Canyon, then...

That was truly a case of one man holding the pass against ten thousand.

It looks vaguely familiar.

Isn't that Lux's ultimate ability?

Ultimate Radiance, light them up!

It works best when the enemy is lined up in rows; one skewer is all it takes to finish them off. In certain Special Terrains, it's like a divine intervention.

The Blazing Pillar gradually dissipated.

Try firing a "Dao Cannon" with ten million Eerie Stones at a time.

Chen Fan looked at the Heavenly Dao Cannon with a hint of excitement. If a cannon with one million rounds per shot was this powerful, what about one with ten million rounds per shot? But after gritting his teeth, he decided to try the one with one hundred million rounds per shot.

Although it's somewhat wasteful.

But he needs to know at least how powerful it is in order to use the Heavenly Dao Cannon more effectively.

After he confirmed the launch.

The Heavenly Dao Cannon was not activated immediately.

Instead, a symbol resembling a "nuclear bomb" popped up and kept flashing red.

"Very powerful, please carefully confirm whether to activate."

"Confirm!"

It's fine if there's no prompt, but once it does, I'm even more tempted to start it.

No boy can resist lighting a firecracker; the more powerful, the more excited. If he can refuse that, then he certainly can't refuse to blow up a dog bowl with a firecracker.

The next moment, accompanied by a continuous stream of liquid from the melting of the Eerie Stone, the liquid flowed into the "Heavenly Dao Cannon" through the Copper Pipe. The Heavenly Dao Cannon began to accumulate energy, and eight characters composed of several White Light gradually solidified in front of the cannon barrel.

"All Things Are Straw Dogs, Heaven and Earth Share Longevity."

A few breaths later.

The gun barrel was illuminated.

Standing beside the Heavenly Dao Cannon, Chen Fan's perspective was suddenly stretched infinitely high. He felt as if his soul had been extracted, and he was suspended in the Nine Heavens.

Overlooking the entire Eternal Night Continent.

This was the first time he had seen the Eternal Night Continent so directly.

His gaze could pierce through the clouds and overlook the Eternal Night Continent.

He located the Western Wasteland Island immediately.

From this height, it is extremely conspicuous.

But before he could even realize why he was in this state...

He saw it.

He saw a Blazing White Light suddenly appear at the location of the Western Wasteland Island; it was a Golden Light Pillar.

This Golden Light Pillar is penetrating deep into the heart of the Eternal Night Continent at an extremely rapid pace.

This Blazing Pillar towards the East part of the "Eastern Region Eternal Night Continent," and it was now traversing the entire Eternal Night Continent.

All the Strange Entities along the way were instantly reduced to ashes.

A few breaths later.

The Golden Light Pillar reached its end and, after lasting for several breaths, slowly disappeared.

Chen Fan's perspective quickly returned to normal.

Chen Fan fell silent.

Qi Yue remained silent as she looked at the Crippled Monkey beside her.

Everyone on the defensive line fell silent.

All eyes turned to the "absolutely straight," "absolutely smooth," and approximately 20-kilometer-wide Void Strip in front of the defensive line.

This zone of Void Strip.

Extending from the defensive line, ignoring all terrain obstacles, piercing through mountains, cutting through rivers and shattering clouds, it rapidly extends to the other side of the continent at an indescribable speed.

Theoretically speaking.

If there are enough Eerie Stones, a Heavenly Dao Cannon can be built every 20 kilometers across the Eternal Night Continent, and then fired simultaneously, each targeting a single "All Things Are Straw Dogs, Heaven and Earth Share Longevity" cannon, containing one hundred million Eerie Stones.

In just a moment.

All the Strange Entities on the entire continent will be wiped out.

Of course, the price to pay is that the Eternal Night Continent will become relatively flat.

Chen Fan stared blankly at all of this until the voice of the Medicine King Valley Master kept coming from the Message Talisman in his arms, which brought him back to his senses.

"Domain Lord, we've brought that That One back to life."

"Okay, I'll head over there."

He took a deep breath and strode toward the Teleportation Formation behind him. He vaguely thought of a way to subdue the Eternal Night Continent: simply gather all the Strange Entities in a line.

He cleared everything out with just a few Heavenly Dao Cannon.

But how can we get these Strange Entity Clan together?

As he walked, he shook the Heaven-Questioning Bell in his hand.

Is there a way to gather all the Strange Entity Clan in one line?

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; I cannot disclose them."

A hoarse voice sounded in my ear.

Chen Fan pursed his lips and stuffed the Bell back into his pocket. It was one of the Exotic Treasures he had seized after the great battle seven days ago.

The Heaven-Questioning Bell.

Name of the Exotic Treasure: Heaven-Questioning Bell.

"Exotic Treasure Grade": Purple Grade.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": You can ask any question. Each question costs 10,000 Eerie Stones, regardless of whether you get an answer or not.

If an answer is obtained, 1 million Eerie Stones will be consumed, regardless of the value of the question.

There is no limit to the number of uses per day.

Regarding this Exotic Treasure...

His assessment was that it was very useful; this was his first Purple Grade Exotic Treasure, not counting the "Heavenly Dao Cannon," which was a building.

Although many questions could not be answered.

But it works very well.

It's equivalent to an unlimited supply of "Heaven-Questioning Incense), but at a lower price.

He's gotten used to asking questions all the time, since even if he doesn't get an answer, it only costs him 10,000 Eerie Stones.

Mortal Domain, Sunset City.

A Middle-Aged Man in Green Robe was being planted in the Medicine Field. Just like the Tianyi on any other day, he was looking with a smile at Weiwei and Weiwei's parents playing and laughing not far away.

"Weiwei, why did Chen Fan give you such a name back then? Didn't you even try to argue about it?"

The larger Crocodile next to it shook its head, its mouth wide open in a menacing grin.

"Roar.."

Weiwei softly.

"The Human Speech is something the boss taught me; I can't teach you. Besides, why are you, a Crocodile, always thinking about talking?"

"This is not good."

Just then -

Chen Fan walked over with the Crippled Monkey, looked at the three Crocodiles writhing and tearing at each other on the ground, and his fatigue dissipated. He chuckled.

Weiwei's parents were saved.

Although his injuries haven't fully healed, he won't die.

The Jiangnan He Family, who have studied Exotic Beasts for generations, are truly quite accomplished.

Weiwei was saying goodbye to her parents when she saw Chen Fan approaching. She happily crawled to Chen Fan's feet, rolled around, and then ran off towards the Sunset City.

Weiwei, I've been very busy these past few days.

He only checks on his parents from time to time.

Most of the time was spent subduing those Exotic Beasts.

Yes.

The great escape from the Eternal Night Continent wasn't just for humans; the Exotic Beasts that usually hid in every corner were also fleeing towards the Western Wasteland Island with the crowds.

The group of Exotic Beasts that fled to the Western Wasteland Island were all taken in by Weiwei, but many of Exotic Beast were quite stubborn, Weiwei is trying to subdue them one by one.

"Go ahead, hey, Weiwei."

After watching Weiwei leave, Chen Fan, leaning on his Jadeite Staff, walked up to the Middle-Aged Man buried in the ground. "How should I address you, sir?"

"Just call me 'that That One '."

"Mr. Na, how are you feeling?"

"Good."

The Middle-Aged Man, his calves buried in the ground and tied to a Scarecrow, sighed helplessly, "These past few days, your men have tormented me quite a bit."

"Using the Wraith Blood Flower to replace blood vessels—how did you come up with such a cruel torture method that I could never have imagined in my entire life?"

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the Medicine King Valley Master to the side.

"I haven't asked yet, how did you revive that Mr. Na?"

"At once..."

The Medicine King Valley Master was originally preparing to... sensed that something was wrong. He shrank his neck and whispered, "We tried everything, even desperate measures, and then... he survived."

"For example?" Chen Fan asked.

"For example..." the Middle-Aged Man spoke for the Medicine King Valley Master, lifting his clothes and pulling an Altar from his abdomen, throwing it into the Farmland: "For example, burying the Altar inside my belly."

"The medical methods in the Mortal Domain are quite unique."

"But you don't need to blame him."

"I was able to wake up again thanks to him. Seven days ago, the Heavenly Dao's Rain, and that rain helped me catch my breath. If I hadn't been inside and gotten wet in that rain, I wouldn't be able to open my eyes now."

"I feel a little powerless."

"Please pull it out for me."

"Let's take a walk."

On the Northbank Defense Line.

Chen Fan and the Middle-Aged Man walked side by side on the defensive line. The Middle-Aged Man, who had struggled to escape from the brink of death, stood with one hand behind his back, looking at the humans running back and forth on the Wasteland in a daze.

"You already know my identity. Ask me anything you want to ask."

"The Eternal Night Continent has suffered a great calamity."

"The Living Beings, and the land was devastated."

"With you in the Mortal Domain, the Eternal Night Continent is fortunate indeed."

Chen Fan walked expressionlessly along the Northbank Defense Line, occasionally reaching out to touch the Ice-Cold temperature emanating from the Stone Wall. The person beside him was actually the Heavenly Dao of the New Continent.

Before the New Continent fell.

He self-destructed, perishing together with the Strange Tide, and has become what he is now in a state that even he doesn't understand—neither the Heavenly Dao nor humanity.

Is the Eternal Night Continent First-Level Continent?

"Yes."

The Middle-Aged Man nodded slowly. "I don't know how vast the entire Heaven and Earth is, but I can be certain that the Eternal Night Continent is just a small part of it. When the Eternal Night Continent advances to the Second-Level Continent..."

"The level cap for buildings will be increased."

"It will also unlock some restrictions, allowing more and higher-grade Building Blueprints to be created, such as the 'Sky-Piercing Pillar' in the Mortal Domain, which normally should be a building unlocked only on the Second-Level Continent."

"I wonder how the Mortal Domain came to exist."

At this point, the Middle-Aged Man tilted his head and looked at Chen Fan with a strange expression. "And, I just sensed the changes on the Eternal Night Continent? Those were traces left by the Heavenly Dao Cannon."

"This is a building that only exists on Second-Level Continents."

"You didn't get authorization, so where did you get it from?"

Authorization required?

Chen Fan pondered silently. There was no authorization required. The panel displayed the word "Fusion," which he clicked, and the fusion process began without him noticing any restrictions.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

Others don't have a control panel, so of course they can't click the fusion option.

Now it seems...

The panel is more like a "portable Heavenly Dao," or a Heavenly Dao with Access Rights enabled.

"Obtained by chance."

He skipped over that question and continued, "What are the main functions and responsibilities of the Way of Heavenly Dao?"

"Good question."

The Middle-Aged Man let out a long sigh, "The Heavenly Dao itself has no emotions or consciousness; it merely serves as a 'bridge between the past and the future.'"

"There is a Supreme Heavenly Dao in this Heaven and Earth."

"For example, when the 'Eternal Night Continent' meets all the conditions for advancement to the Second-Level Continent, the Heavenly Dao of the Eternal Night Continent will report this news to the Supreme Heavenly Dao, and then the Supreme Heavenly Dao will bestow Heavenly Dao's Blessing, advancing the Eternal Night Continent to the Second-Level Continent."

"The Heavenly Dao itself cannot elevate the Eternal Night Continent to the Second-Level Continent."

"The Heavenly Dao itself possesses very limited Access Rights."

For example...

"The Undersea Strange Tide Landing, Mortal Domain Suppression the Jiangbei. The Heavenly Dao will Heavenly Dao's Blessings upon us; this is one of the few things the Heavenly Dao can control independently, and rewards will be distributed according to merit."

"And the Core Formation beneath the Eternal Night Continent is also the work of the Heavenly Dao, or rather, Heavenly Dao instinctive reaction when attacked."

"Without emotion."

"Looking across the entire world, very few people can communicate face-to-face with the Heavenly Dao; the Heavenly Dao will not respond."

Chen Fan remained silent for a long time, walking side by side with the Middle-Aged Man along the Northbank Defense Line. After a moment, he continued to ask, "Mr. Na, what are the conditions for the Eternal Night Continent to advance to the Second-Level Continent?"

The Middle-Aged Man did not reply immediately, but instead gave Chen Fan a deep look before continuing.

"The conditions for the First-Level Continent to the Second-Level Continent are not simple."

"A Great Unification faction is required, possessing 20 Max-Level Buildings, and ensuring that the Eerie Fire is upgraded to level 10."

Level up and complete the "Heavenly Dominion" quest.

"Once the above conditions are met, you can advance to the Second-Level Continent."

"Wrong."

Chen Fan frowned slightly. "Mr. Na, the Mortal Domain has reached the New Continent, which should be considered as completing the Great Unification of the Mortal Domain. Furthermore, the Mortal Domain has 20 Max-Level Buildings, and the Heavenly Dominion's mission has been completed. However, the New Continent has not yet been promoted to the Second-Level Continent."

The Mortal Domain already has 20 Max-Level Buildings.

The reward at the time was a "Blue Grade Resource Lucky Bag," which gave him a lot of Eerie Stone resources.

"Yes."

The Middle-Aged Man said somewhat wistfully, "That continent used to have a name, not 'New Continent,' but 'Apocalypse Continent.' Normally speaking, Apocalypse Continent should indeed have been promoted to the Second-Level Continent."

"But have you forgotten what I just said?"

"What helps a continent advance is the Supreme Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao must first report this matter before Apocalypse Continent can advance to the Second-Level Continent."

"Nobody's reporting this to higher authorities for you."

"How could you possibly advance to the Second-Level Continent? The Apocalypse Continent has no Heavenly Dao; the former Heavenly Dao is now standing right before you."

"Some races and continents, due to various reasons, have lost their own 'Heavenly Dao,' and these races and continents have become Rootless Race Continents, and no one reports their actions to their superiors."

"This is why some races that have lost their 'Heavenly Dao' are extremely obsessed with conquering the continent, because only by conquering the continent can they re-establish their own Heavenly Dao and be accepted by this Heaven and Earth again."

Chen Fan nodded.

He basically understood.

"Is the same true for the Strange Entity Clan?"

"No..."

The Middle-Aged Man shook his head solemnly. "The Royal Clan you see are a 'Professional Race.' You can understand it as them having a basic understanding of this world, although they are most likely Minor Races that is not qualified to join the 'War Mire.'"

"But when facing some First-Level Continents, they can still crush them."

They knew exactly what they would gain after conquering a continent.

Their goal is to wage war everywhere.

"Plundering the 'Black Abyss' everywhere."

"But the 'Strange Entity Clan' is different. The Strange Entity Clan is Strange Entities was naturally born after the 'Primordial Continent' was completely invaded by darkness. In terms of Life Tier, the Strange Entities Clan born on the Primordial Continent has a higher Life Tier than the Strange Entities Clan born in the dark mist, that is, the Royal Clan."

"Of course, that doesn't mean we're stronger."

"The Strange Entity Clan knows almost nothing about this world; they only know that their Primordial Continent is about to shatter and they need to quickly conquer another continent."

"I know almost nothing about races, continents, the Black Abyss, or the War Mire."

"Even the Strange Entity Clan's understanding of the Heavenly Dao is limited to the fact that with the Heavenly Dao, they can have children."

What is the Primordial Continent?

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

This goes back a very, very long time.

The Middle-Aged Man said somewhat absentmindedly, "A long, long time ago, this Heaven and Earth consisted of only one continent. Besides humans, there were many other races, such as... the Elf Clan, with their pointed ears and all sorts of handsome men and beautiful women; the Goblin Clan, skilled in blacksmithing; the rare Dragon Clan; and so on."

"Later one"

"Dark Invasion."

"The Primordial Continent shattered, and countless new continents Heaven and Earth, each bearing the remains of its former inhabitants. The Primordial Continent itself was fragmented into hundreds of pieces, scattered in the darkness."

"Fragments of the Primordial Continent are extremely valuable. If they were to appear in a 'War Mire,' they could trigger a frenzied battle between countless forces."

"The Primordial Continent where the Strange Entity Clan resides is one of hundreds of fragments."

1

"If possible..."

"If the Mortal Domain were to conquer and absorb the 'Primordial Continent' where the Strange Entity Clan resides, it would greatly benefit the Mortal Domain's future development."

5

Chen Fan frowned as he processed this information. This was the first time he had such a direct understanding of this Heaven and Earth: "But the Royal Clan doesn't seem to care about that Primordial Land?"

"They care more about the Eternal Night Continent."

"They don't know anything."

The Middle-Aged Man said with some helplessness, "They are low-level races who are not even qualified to join the 'War Mire.' They can only plunder from the periphery. How would they know anything about the Primordial Continent?"

"In their eyes, it's probably like finding a Space Rift, ending up on a pitch-black, unknown continent, and then using that unknown continent to descend into an Eternal Night Continent."

"I'm having a great time."

"We've found another weak, First-Level Continent."

They used that Primordial Continent as a transit point.

"The Heavenly Dao should know, but Heavenly Dao won't tell them."

"Why?"

"The Heavenly Dao doesn't communicate directly with its own race or continent. You've forgotten again, the Heavenly Dao has no emotions; it's like a Living Dead focused solely on its own job."

"There's one more question."

Chen Fan asked the question that concerned him most, "What is War Mire?"

"Ah..."

The Middle-Aged Man murmured as if lost in memories, "It was an extremely chaotic place. How should I describe it? The Sky-Piercing Pillar of the Mortal Domain was considered a standard probing weapon there."

"It's not uncommon for Heavenly Dao Cannons to clash."

"That Heavenly Dao Cannon isn't a level 10 Heavenly Dao Cannon."

"It's a level 20 or even Level 30 Heavenly Dao Cannon."

Every day, new races and continents join, and every day, new races and continents are completely annihilated and slaughtered.

"Once inside..."

"Like a quagmire, once you're deeply mired in it, it's difficult to get out unscathed."

"The necessary conditions for joining there"

"If it's a continent, it must be Second-Level Continent, and a defensive line must be built along the edge of the continent. The defensive lines must all be level Level-Twenty Defense Lines to barely qualify for membership."

"Otherwise, they'd be torn to pieces the moment they went in."

No one even attacked you first.

"You broke yourself."

"Can the mainland be moved?"

Chen Fan keenly grasped the hidden information in the words.

"Certainly."

The Middle-Aged Man chuckled, "Upon reaching the Second-Level Continent, a Building Blueprint called the 'Mysterious Heaven Propeller' will be unlocked. At this point, people or buildings on this continent have a chance to drop this Blueprint when they kill Strange Entities."

"By placing a large number of 'Mysterious Heaven Propeller' along the edge of the continent, the continent can be moved."

"Knew."

Chen Fan nodded. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the Mr. Na was more important than he had thought. He was Heavenly Dao with whom he could communicate in real time, something that no other race or continent had.

What is Thunderstorm Sea?

"I really don't know."

The Middle-Aged Man sighed helplessly, "I've never seen or heard of it before."

"One last question."

Chen Fan spoke again, "I want to gather all the Strange Tides of the Royal Clan into a straight line, and then use the Heavenly Dao Cannon to wipe them out all at once. Although it's a bit far-fetched, do you think it's possible?"

77

The Middle-Aged Man remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"That's impossible, don't even think about it. Those Strange Entities aren't stupid; they won't just stand there obediently waiting for you to blast them."

The two walked side by side along the Northbank Defense Line.

Wang Kui and Crippled Monkey, who were following behind, listened silently.

This was the first time they had ever learned about this Heaven and Earth.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside a Great Hall a Primordial Land shrouded in darkness.

Dozens of the Royal Clan Generals sat expressionless inside the Palace, occasionally scratching themselves; the darkness of the continent made them feel somewhat itchy.

We need unity now.

New King has not yet been chosen.

Old Strange Entity continued to chair the meeting, his eyes lowered as he tried to conceal the glint in them, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "The Royal Clan's Black Abyss was unexpectedly stolen. If nothing unexpected happens, it was probably discovered by another race, who then took the opportunity to steal it."

"The Black Abyss has always been heavily guarded."

The late king has passed away.

Many arrangements have been withdrawn.

"We must immediately conquer the Eternal Night Continent, and then find a new 'Black Abyss.' Without the Black Abyss, we lose a new source of manpower."

"As everyone agrees."

"In the next seven days."

"All the generals assembled Subordinate troops and launched a simultaneous All-Out Assault from the three defensive lines of 'Yellow Springs Mouth,' 'Jiangbei,' and 'Guandong Plains.'"

The first general to step onto the defensive line was none other than the New King of the "Royal Clan".

What are your thoughts, everyone?

The words had barely left his mouth.

Great Hall, the group of Wraith Kings exchanged glances, all seeing the thoughts in each other's eyes: This is good, this way they all have a chance to become king.

Otherwise, whoever Dark Affinity will be king.

It's hard not to feel that it's somewhat unfair.

In this way, everyone has a chance.

"Okay, then that's settled."

"The All-Out Assault will begin in seven days."

In the darkness, one Strange Entities was the first to respond, followed by a growing number of other Strange Entities.
