"Weird Emperor Jiu Wu obeys the Domain Lord's every command."

Chen Fan did not respond immediately to the suggestion of "Long Live," but instead fell into thought.

Although it sounds a bit harsh.

But it's not entirely without reason.

"Long Live."

"Order the Nameless Mountain Missile Storage Base to drop a Nuclear Warhead- armed 'Sky-Piercing Pillar' into the uninhabited area of the 'Despair Continent' and see what happens."

"Yes."

His Long Live hurriedly accepted the order and took out Message Talisman from his robes.

I just unlocked the "Mutated Heavenly Dao Cannon". Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon only costs 225 million Eerie Stone to fire a single shot. That means a Sky-Piercing Pillar carrying Nuclear Warhead would cost about the same.

Only.

This Sky-Piercing Pillar was built from previous reserves, so the cost is still around 450 million.

Most of the cost comes from the Heavenly Dao Cannon. After all, the Nuclear Warhead Sky-Piercing Pillar's energy storage method requires the Heavenly Dao Cannon to fire a single shot at the Sky-Piercing Pillar, making the cost of the Sky-Piercing Pillar itself negligible.

I'm using 450 million Eerie Stone to ask for directions.

That's definitely a bit extravagant.

Chen Fan stood in the Strategist Pavilion, calmly looking at the "Heaven-Deriving Formation Screen". The Sky-Piercing Pillar slowly rose into the air from Behind Nameless Mountain, and its Sky-Piercing Pillar could be clearly tracked on the screen.

Beyond the Strange Entities surrounding the Eternal Night Continent.

Heading south.

The journey leads directly to the "Despair Continent," ultimately landing in a remote, uninhabited area within that continent.

He began to wait patiently.

After a cup of tea.

He received no news from the "Despair Continent".

That concludes the discussion.

He knew things might be getting serious.

Even if the "Despair Continent" is truly delusional, after suffering this blow, it should have immediately contacted him to express its stance, just like the Feng Qiya Continent had done before, but now it remains silent.

It's highly likely.

The Despair Continent is already out of control.

Something happened that he was unaware of.

"This is really unpleasant..."

Standing in front of the Heaven-Deriving Formation Screen, Chen Fan murmured to himself. He didn't even know what exactly had happened on the "Despair Continent," and dared not send anyone to investigate easily, for fear that the people he sent out would be lost again.

A possibility was already faintly in his mind.

It's highly likely that some Deep Sea Strange Entity has landed, or that other forces from outside this Sea Domain have landed on the Despair Continent, kidnapped his people, and are waiting for him to come.

If the distance is far, then it's fine.

However, at a distance of only 1,700 kilometers from the Eternal Night Continent, such an unstable factor cannot be ignored.

"Pass on the order, Weird Emperor Jiu Wu."

"Send him to the 'New Continent' via the Teleportation Formation. I will wait for him New Continent."

"Yes!"

"Finally finished!"

On the Provocateur Continent, the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, though slightly tired, still looked at the flat continent with considerable satisfaction and spoke to the Ghost Emperor Xiangyang beside him.

"This continent has been completely conquered by us."

"Now we can leave."

"Once the Mortal Domain reclaims this continent, it will likely be three years before we return."

"Getting ready to go home."

"We probably won't be involved for a long time. Life is pretty leisurely for us Retirement Clan; you'll see as time goes on."

Just then--

The Message Talisman in his arms suddenly became hot.

After receiving the order from the Mortal Domain.

His body stiffened at first, then he remained silent for a moment before saying hoarsely, "Wait here for me. The Domain Lord is looking for me; I'm going to see him."

The Domain Lord rarely summoned him.

In particular, he was instructed to travel there via Teleportation Formation.

This means it's extremely urgent.

This doesn't seem like a good thing.

He strode towards the distant Teleportation Formation Station, and with a flash of White Light, appeared on the "New Continent".

On the beach.

Chen Fan was standing alone on the Seaside when the Crippled Monkey gestured to him that he could go over.

He took a deep breath, walked nervously behind Chen Fan, lowered his massive head, and whispered, "Domain Lord, Jiu Wu request an audience."

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded without turning around, but took out a Mortal Domain History Book from his pocket and handed it over. "I glanced at the Mortal Domain History Book today and found some inappropriate words, so I had my men revise it."

"Currently, the Mortal Domain is recalling all distributed Mortal Domain History Book; a new version will be used from now on."

Jiu Wu took the extremely small Mortal Domain History Book, which was very small for him, and subconsciously began to flip through it.

His biggest form of entertainment is...

It involved flipping through the Mortal Domain History Book and Mortal Domain Daily.

He was extremely familiar with every line of text, and almost instantly, he found the place to make the correction.

The original title of one of the chapters was...

"If you meet Jiu Wu and has a good attitude, you can take them in as your dog."

It is now revised to:

"Upon meeting the Jiu Wu, they had a very pleasant conversation and became allies."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu stood silently in place. He had originally planned to discuss with the Domain Lord about changing the title of this chapter after he had made some meritorious contributions in the future. However, before he could even speak, the Domain Lord changed it himself.

But...

That is precisely why.

He knew then that the matter that had come to him this time was no small matter.

The Domain Lord remained silent.

He knew they were waiting for him to give his opinion.

He has always been very sensible.

But this time, he wasn't just being sensible; a genuine ripple of emotion stirred within him. He slowly knelt on one knee, lowering his enormous head, and knelt behind this human who was far smaller than the others, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, and the Domain Lord all orders."

"Please give the order, Domain Lord."

Chen Fan didn't speak, but continued to gaze at the boundless Sea in the distance, somewhat lost in thought.

This world is really big.

But they never gave him a place to settle down.

After a long pause, he spoke slowly.

"Jiu Wu."

"Your relationship with the Mortal Domain has always been symbiotic, not deeply intertwined."

"I've encountered a situation. On a continent 1700 kilometers from the Eternal Night Continent, some unknown emergencies have occurred. I need to send people to investigate, but I fear there may be a major crisis."

"I don't want to recklessly sacrifice the lives of Subordinate men."

I want your men to go and check it out.

"So."

"Even after suffering misfortune, one can be resurrected."

What do you think?

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu is an extremely Rare "Innate Dark Sacred Physique" with exclusive (Death Authority), capable of resurrecting any dead Strange Entities, the amount of Source of Darkness Points consumed depending on the level of Cultivation.

The Dark Source Points consumed are obtained from the "Black Abyss".

He had been hesitant about whether to activate the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu.

This is absolutely a sharp sword.

It can help him do many things, but the downside is that the wolf will become more and more accustomed to being raised, and if one of them tries to devour its master, it will have to pay a heavy price.

In fact.

He's already using it.

Send the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu to occupy the "Provocateur Continent," and then send the Mortal Domain to occupy it. In this way, the Mortal Domain will gain a lot of benefits, and the race to which the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu belongs will also advance in level at an extremely fast speed.

"No problem."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu agreed almost without hesitation. It wasn't a big deal; he had thought it was something that would require him to risk his life, even though it contradicted his initial principle of never getting involved in any conflicts.

But he also knew.

If you're eating someone's food, how can you never help them out?

"Good."

Chen Fan turned to look at the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu. This was the first time he had looked at the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu so seriously. After a moment, he calmly said.

"Jiu Wu."

"A long time ago, when I was standing in the Jiangbei Wasteland, King Mazi asked me what was on the other side of the sea, and I said I didn't know."

"I still don't know."

"Only."

"If one day the Mortal Domain is fortunate enough to reach the other side of the sea, I hope that you and I will remain the same as before."

"Like what I did with King Mazi back then."

"Sharing wealth and prosperity."

"Since I've chosen to employ you, I will trust you. I won't listen to the rumors circulating below. You fought to the death with the commander of the Strange Entity Clan because your brother died, which proves you are a man of great loyalty."

I admire people who value loyalty and righteousness.

"In the future, you may encounter many temptations, and you will truly realize the nobility of your 'Innate Dark Sacred Physique'. There may even be several Level-3 Strange Entity Clan who wish to honor you as their king, only asking that you lead them."

Whatever your choice, I will not interfere.

"But..."

"I sincerely hope that we will never become adversaries in the future."

"I don't like to harm my friends."

"I'll be sad."

For so long.

He only encountered one person with a "Innate Dark Sacred Physique," the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, which is enough to prove the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu's nobility. This is also why, even though the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu was extremely obedient at the time, he still harbored the intention to settle scores with him.

Now he wants to use Jiu Wu.

This means that in the future, a large number of the Strange Entity Clan will know of Jiu Wu's existence.

Those Jiu Wu will also truly realize their own nobility.

That day.

Perhaps that's the moment when the two sides turn into adversaries.

The solution is actually quite simple.

Never use the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu; confine him to the Eyi Continent to live out his days, or... eliminate him ahead of time.

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu stood there, staring blankly at Chen Fan. This was the first time Chen Fan had spoken to him so seriously. Although he was enormous, he was actually very perceptive.

He could sense Chen Fan's current state.

I'm torn.

Struggle.

Is he Chen Fan's friend?

I don't know why.

"Domain Lord."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu's eyes reddened slightly. "I swore an oath on the Eyi Continent last time, saying that I would always be loyal to the Mortal Domain, but you and I both know that such an oath has no binding effect."

"I, Jiu Wu, can reiterate my position here."

"No matter what happens in the future."

"I, Jiu Wu, will definitely stand on the side of the Mortal Domain."

"It's not just fear of the Mortal Domain, it's more... I've always been grateful that the Mortal Domain gave me and my brothers a chance to survive."

"Go."

Chen Fan suddenly laughed and waved his hand, "Go and prepare. We need to hurry; the situation on the Despair Continent might be quite serious."

"Yes, sir."

He watched silently as Jiu Wu's figure rapidly disappeared into the distance.

Every "I love you" I uttered during my youth was utterly sincere, without a trace of falsehood.

Only.

Age will change.

Love changes.

People change.

He never Trust oaths.

But he would never regret his choice. Regardless of what might happen in the future, officially activating the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu was a decision he made at this moment, and even if they were to become adversaries in the future, he would not regret it.

Many things happen in this Heaven and Earth every day.

Betrayal is not a rare thing.

Loyalty is the Rare of all.

After Incense Stick.

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu has returned, accompanied by a seemingly timid "Doppelganger Wraith."

"Domain Lord, this is a Strange Entities that awakened its intelligence a few days ago among our 'Retirement Clan.' It's now Level 2 Strange Entities. Is that enough?"

That's enough.

Chen Fan waved his hand, and the Crippled Monkey beside him quickly stepped forward and stuffed a Pocket Cannon into the hand of the Doppelganger Wraith.

This item is called a "Pocket Cannon."

"This is a product of the Mortal Domain Individual Weapons Workshop, a standard Individual Weapon for Mortal Domain personnel. Each use requires 500 Eerie Stone, and its power is equivalent to a full-force strike from a Level 1 Godslayer Cannon."

"Enough to smash the head of a Level 2 Strange Entities."

"With this on your side, your safety on this trip is greatly improved. You should thank the Domain Lord." Weird Emperor Jiu Wu reluctantly looked away from the Pocket Cannon.

"Thank you, Domain Lord."

The Level 2 Doppelganger Wraith stammered.

"It's not for self-defense."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"Dozens of members of the Mortal Domain Realm have lost contact with the 'Despair Continent.' Their Life Tablet haven't shattered. I suspect that the Despair Continent may have been invaded by Strange Entities, and there's a type of Strange Entities we've never seen before that can quickly control others."

"And what you need to do is..."

"After landing, observe everything in front of you as much as possible, and if you sense something is wrong, point the gun at your head and pull the trigger decisively."

"Then the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu will resurrect you in the Black Abyss."

Did you hear me clearly?

"Understood."

The somewhat timid Doppelganger Wraith hugged the Pocket Cannon tightly to its chest and nodded vigorously.

"Start it up."

Chen Fan took out Message Talisman and issued the order to the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain.

Three breaths later.

Behind Nameless Mountain, in the Missile Storage Base complex, a Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar slowly rose into the air and sped southward.

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, however, was somewhat uneasy. He pulled the Doppelganger Wraith aside and repeated Chen Fan's orders.

This pillar Sky-Piercing Pillar travels southwards.

Ultimately, it landed in the Coastal Area the "Despair Continent | Demon-Suppressing No. 6 Defense Line," where trade between the Mortal Domain and the Despair Continent had always taken place.

The Sky-Piercing Pillar fell heavily.

The Eerie Stone and Formation Disc scattered, forming a simple and rudimentary Single-Person Teleportation Formation on the ground.

This is the "Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar".

Several dozen breaths passed.

The Formation Pattern were lit up, slowly emitting a faint and soft White Light. As the White Light flashed, a somewhat timid Doppelganger Wraith appeared out of thin air, tightly clutching a "Pocket Cannon" in its hand.

The scene before my eyes changed rapidly.

One moment we were still in the New Continent.

The next moment, they appeared on the Despair Continent.

Before he could react...

He then saw hundreds of humans with eerie smiles on their faces, surrounding him tightly. Every one of them stared intently at him, so tightly that he couldn't even move.

"Ah!!"

The already timid Doppelganger Wraith began to scream uncontrollably.

The next moment.

Everything went black before his eyes, and he immediately stopped breathing.

Perhaps, looking at the world...

This was also the first Strange Entities to be scared to death by humans.

"I pulled the trigger, my head split open, and I died."

New Continent.

The cowardly Doppelganger Wraith, who had been resurrected by the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu in a Black Abyss near the "Dark Star Continent," was now being brought to the New Continent by the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu to recount everything he had seen.

"After being teleported there."

"I saw many humans, and their smiles were eerie, with blood dripping from their fingertips."

"It's as if he's lost his mind."

"I had a bad feeling, so I pulled the trigger."

"And..."

"I think I saw the mark of the Mortal Domain on the chest of one of the humans."

This timid Doppelganger Wraith weakly recounted his experiences.

Ninety percent of the truth.

One-tenth of the story was a lie; he concealed the fact that he had been scared to death.

"Really."

Chen Fan sighed softly, "What exactly do you mean by 'something's wrong'? Is it the feeling that you've lost control of your body, or something else?"

"This..."

The timid Doppelganger Wraith hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't feel like I've lost control of my body, but I feel a little scared. I have this feeling that if I don't leave soon, something terrible will happen."

"Knew."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and picked up the Message Talisman: "Long Live Despair Continent! Pass down the order: launch one 'Vanguard Sky Piercing Pillar' at each of the seventeen important City, thirty-seven important defense lines, and ninety-nine large City on the 'Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar'."

Then he looked at the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu.

Send more Subordinate.

"We need to conduct a systematic survey of the entire Despair Continent as soon as possible. If the entire continent has fallen, the enemy may be far more troublesome than we think."

He stopped speaking, but the smile on his face lessened.

The Despair Continent lost contact a day ago.

Within one day.

Conquering a "First-Level Continent" is something even Second-Level Race couldn't accomplish.

Massacres also take time to occur.

Moreover, the Despair Continent wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die. At the very least, it would send a message to the Mortal Domain, completely conquering a continent within a day, and doing so silently. Only the "Level-3 Strange Entity Clan" could probably accomplish such a feat.

He didn't really want to encounter Level-3 Strange Entity Clan so soon.

He had clearly cleared out the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan, the closest race to Level Third-Level Race, from this Sea Domain, yet he still encountered them.

All human calculations have been exhausted.

Even heaven is better.

Hopefully things haven't gotten that bad.

As one "Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar" after another fell into the Despair Continent, news also came back, almost astonishingly consistent: the first thing everyone saw after being teleported there was that they were surrounded by countless humans with eerie smiles on their faces.

There wasn't a single trace of the Strange Entities.

Only humans.

The only Strange Entities is themselves, who were transported there via the Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar.

They look more like invaders.

Chen Fan was walking alone on the Seaside, leaning on his Jadeite Staff.

The Long Live was speaking incessantly through the Message Stone.

"Domain Lord, I suggest avoiding close contact. Use the Sky-Piercing Pillar to cleanse the area, even if the cost is enormous, we must eliminate it as soon as possible. This could very well be the vanguard of a Level-3 Strange Entity Clan from beyond the Sea Domain."

"We must eliminate them with overwhelming force, so that they will believe that a Third-Level Continent exists in this Sea Domain, thus arousing their fear."

"Otherwise..."

It was a bit too noisy for him.

He casually tossed the Message Stone to the Crippled Monkey beside him before glancing at the Heaven-Questioning Bell and speaking softly.

I have a question for you.

"There is a Strange Entities that can bewitch people's minds, or rather, control their bodies, causing a sinister smile to appear on their faces and blood to drip from their fingertips. Do you know any specific information about this Strange Entities?"

The Heaven-Questioning Bell sways without wind.

As the familiar and clear sound of silver bells rang out...

A completely emotionless voice then rang in his ears.

One is the "Heart-Eating Wraith."

"The common level is 8, but a few Heart-Eating Wraith can reach a maximum of 15, evolving into the 'Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith'."

"The common methods of the Heart-Eating Wraith are--"

"It can ignore City Wall and other barriers, causing people in an area to fall asleep and experience an extremely terrifying nightmare within their dreams."

"The method you described is the method of the Level 15 Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith."

"Any human who makes eye contact with it will fall into an irreversible state of near-death."

"The hallmark sign is that a strange smile will appear on the victim's face, and they will instantly lose all consciousness. The 'Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith' will then take full control of their body. It is also highly contagious; anyone who makes eye contact with the victim will also be infected."

"There is no upper limit to the number of infections."

"However, the Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith has a limit to the number of humans it can control at the same time, usually 10,000. The remaining humans who are affected will act freely according to their previous habits."

"The victim did not die."

"In an irreversible state of near-death, beyond any means of rescue, they will typically die completely after seven days and cannot be revived by any means, including through the Rugged Island."

"Heart-Eating Wraith."

"It is Strange Entities that can only be born from the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan."

"Heart-Eating Wraith."

Chen Fan calmly stopped and stood on the beach, gazing at the Seaside. Not far away, the incessant chatter of "Long Live the Emperor" could still be heard from the Message Stone in the Crippled Monkey's hand. He only felt somewhat tired.

Level-3 Strange Entity Clan.

Ghost Emperor- level Ghost, the Heart-Eating Wraith.

Why did we end up in this Sea Domain?

After a while.

He continued to ask questions.

"Can blindfolding or other methods be used to effectively avoid them? Are these methods effective against Strange Entities?"

"Can."

"Blinding, piercing the eyes, or tightly closing the eyes can all be effective ways to avoid it."

"If a human's Cultivation level is higher than its own, it can effectively avoid eye contact."

This method only works on humans, not on Strange Entities.

1. How can we be sure he is not the Wraith Venerable Heart-Eating Wraith?

He continued to ask questions, and each answer he received would consume 1 million Eerie Stone. Although he used to be reluctant to ask questions, when it came to the crucial moment, he naturally didn't care about spending these Eerie Stones.

"That's possible."

"However, the Heart-Eating Wraith is a relatively low-level Strange Entities. It can only evolve to the Ghost Emperor level, and its number is extremely rare when it evolves to the Wraith Venerable. Moreover, evolving to the Wraith Venerable level will not grant it any special abilities."

Just then--

The Crippled Monkey suddenly stepped forward and said, forcing a smile, "Young Master, a message has come from Nameless Mountain: the Life Tablet of one of the Mortal Domain Member who went missing on the 'Despair Continent' has shattered."

He knew that the Young Master was somewhat troubled at the moment.

But he had to report this matter promptly.

Chen Fan frowned slightly. Wasn't it said that he would officially die in seven days? Then the Life Tablet should shatter in six days.

Another one broke.

The location data shows it is still at "Defense Line 6 of the Anti-Ghost Town".

The Identity Token of Mortal Domain Member all contain Positioning Formation.

"Three more broke."

"Knew."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, then suddenly laughed, a chill flashing in his eyes. Clearly, the other party knew he was probing and was using this method to demonstrate, or rather, provoke him.

It can precisely kill Mortal Domain Member.

It seems they have some understanding of both the Eternal Night Continent and the Mortal Domain.

They came entirely because of him.

The Despair Continent was merely an innocent victim of a catastrophe.

"Should we launch Sky-Piercing Pillar towards this area?"

The monkey hesitated for a moment and said, "This 'Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith' might be in this area."

"Impossible."

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said softly, "Since he knows about the Mortal Domain, he won't expose our methods to capture him."

I need to find out.

"Bring Jiu Wu over."

If this "Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith" from the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan was just another Level-3 Strange Entity Clan from another Sea Domain who wandered over, then that would be understandable. But its knowledge of the Mortal Domain is so clear that it has a specific target in mind—it came for him.

He didn't think his reputation was bad enough to extend beyond this Sea Domain.

He wanted to find out how the other party knew about the term "Mortal Domain".

"I've heard you're very skilled in combat; even ordinary Ghost Emperor are no match for you."

Chen Fan and Weird Emperor Jiu Wu walked to the Seaside and chuckled softly.

"Good."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. "It's mainly because my level is high, just one step away from Wraith Venerable. Although my true form is only Doppelganger Wraith and doesn't have the special abilities of other Strange Entities, I do seem to be able to fight a little."

"Let's go to the Despair Continent."

"There's a 'Heart-Eating Wraith' there, a Ghost Emperor- level being. Its main attacks are against humans, and are ineffective against Strange Entities."

"Help me find him."

"Beat them half to death, then bring them to the New Continent."

Is it possible?

"Able."

After thinking for a moment, Weird Emperor Jiu Wu nodded in agreement. "If there is only one Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith, it should be possible to do so, but for the sake of safety, I would like to bring along 'Ghost Emperor Xiangyang,' who has just submitted to our Mortal Domain, as well as my other Ghost Emperor Subordinate."

"That's a better approach."

"Good."

Chen Fan smiled and couldn't help but ask again, "Will every Doppelganger Wraith that evolves into Ghost Emperor be as tall as you?"

"That shouldn't be it."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu was clearly not very familiar with this. "The evolutionary direction of each Strange Entities is not absolutely certain, but what is certain is that the higher the level, the stronger it is, but of course, the slower it is."

"But I remember you were pretty fast."

I feel like an oddball.

"Back when we were at the 'Xuanwu Defense Line Seven,' you were slow to break through."

"Um... there are actually many reasons for this..."

"Jiu Wu."

Chen Fan interrupted the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu.

"Your Domain Lord, please speak."

Chen Fan stopped and looked up at Jiu Wu, who had his head bowed, and said softly, "You have human blood on your hands. If you want the Mortal Domain to truly accept you, you must make sure that the blood of the Strange Entities in your hands outweighs the blood of humans."

"Do you get me?"

"I see."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu agreed with a serious expression.

"Boss, didn't you say we were Retirement Clan? But ever since I started following you, it seems like we've been working the whole time."

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang stood nervously beside Jiu Wu, waiting for the teleportation.

If it were in the past...

He will absolutely not back down.

But he's been brainwashed by his boss these days. Why should someone who's a Strange Entities have to keep fighting all the time? Can't they just farm, drink tea, and read the newspaper every day?

He had already begun to yearn for this kind of life.

He felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

So this is how Strange Entities can live.

Only...

Why does it feel like we've gone back to where we started?

"There is a difference."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu looked down at Xiangyang with a serious expression. "The Domain Lord once said, 'Peace is won through struggle, not by begging.'"

"For Peace."

We need to work at the right time.

"And this is also farming."

"How come it's farming?"

"We need to bring that damned 'Heart-Eating Wraith' back and plant it in the ground of the New Continent!"

"By the way, what kind of Strange Entities are you in your true form?"

"The Meatworm Wraith."

"Meatworm Wraith? Sounds like it has no fighting power. Hide behind me later."

"Hey boss, why did you specifically ask me to come?"

"Let me help you level up!"

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu rolled his eyes at Xiangyang, somewhat exasperated, and said, "You just joined the Mortal Domain and haven't accomplished anything yet. How can you gain their Trust?"

"So stupid."

"No wonder I've been in your Heaven-Slaying Clan for so long and I'm still only the seventh-ranking one."

"Um... they used to call me the Seven Emperor."

"Seventh is seventh, what's with all this talk about Seven Emperor or eighth emperor?"

"Ready!"

Not far away, the members of the Formation Pavilion had already set up a huge Teleportation Formation, panting heavily. "The 'Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar' isn't enough to teleport so many Strange Entities. Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, you go first, then set up the Large Teleportation Formation according to the procedure. The remaining Ghost Emperor will go through this Teleportation Formation."

"Clear."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu nodded repeatedly.

After Incense Stick.

A "Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar" once again fell on the "Suppressing Ghosts No. 6 Defense Line" of the Despair Continent. As the Teleportation Formation scattered and lit up, Weird Emperor Jiu Wu appeared out of thin air and stomped to death a large group of humans with eerie smiles on their faces who surrounded him.

Then he followed the "instruction diagram" in his hand.

Like stacking building blocks.

He muttered to himself as he set up a huge Teleportation Formation.

Immediately afterwards.

White Light emanated from the Teleportation Formation.

The Ghost Emperor Ghost Emperor Xiangyang and more than a dozen of Jiu Wu's old subordinates were also teleported over.

Humans with eerie smiles on their faces kept swarming around, only to be easily trampled to death by the group of Ghost Emperor.

"Little Ears, twitch them."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu looked at Xiangyang: "Let's see if we can find that guy."

In reality, the Jiu Wu Plan order wasn't even needed.

The newly teleported Ghost Emperor Xiangyang's flat, flared ears were already twitching. He could hear sounds from afar, but if the sounds were too noisy, he could only clearly hear parts of them.

This continent is now extremely quiet.

Only one voice could be heard, interspersed with a deep and powerful soliloquy.

He caught it very clearly and easily.

"Boss."

"Someone was saying in a shocked tone, 'He's actually Innate Dark Sacred Physique! He's actually Innate Dark Sacred Physique!' They kept repeating that phrase."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu curled his lip and glanced around. Humans continued to pour in, and these humans looked more like ghosts than Strange Entities.

Can you pinpoint the direction of the sound?

"There."

The Xiangyang, pointing towards the Seaside.

But before they could set off...

A streak of Red Grade Gilded Light flew Rapid Fire from the Seaside and crashed heavily in front of them. It was Strange Entities about a meter tall, resembling a dwarf, with an enormous head and two huge Red Grade eyes that took up almost two-thirds of its head.

His body was trembling with excitement.

He stared at the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, his eyes filled with excitement.

"He's actually Innate Dark Sacred Physique."

"Truly Cursed Land, truly Cursed Land..."

But soon...

He then shot backward with extreme vigilance, hovering in the air, his eyes fixed on the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, speaking each word clearly.

"Innate Dark Monarch."

Why are we driven by the Mortal Domain?

"Voluntary Degeneration!"

He personally witnessed that Jiu Wu emerged from the Sky-Piercing Pillar of the Mortal Domain, so naturally he would serve the Mortal Domain.

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu frowned slightly. This was troublesome; how could this guy be faster than him?

But just as he was thinking of a solution...

But then he saw that the Ghost Emperor Xiangyang beside him seemed to have gone mad. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was clutching the hem of his clothes, staring intently at him and trembling as he asked, "Boss, you were Innate Dark Sacred Physique...?"

"What."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu somewhat displeasedly swatted away Xiangyang's hand. "These are clothes specially made for the Mortal Domain, you fucking be gentle, they're my only one."

I only wear this when I have something important to do.

The Strange Entities don't wear clothes.

But under his rule, Strange Entities had to wear clothes; this was called having a sense of shame, so they wouldn't be swinging around between their legs all day.

"No."

Why care about a piece of clothing now?

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang's voice trembled with excitement, his entire being contorted with rage. "You are Innate Dark Sacred Physique, Innate Dark Monarch!"

"I came back from the War Mire."

"Boss, you may not know what it means to Innate Dark Sacred Physique. As long as you raise your arm and shout, there are plenty of the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan willing to honor you as their king!"

"From the bottom of my heart!"

"You can achieve far greater Achievement than if you stayed in the Mortal Domain. The Mortal Domain is Unbreakable in the face of a true Level-3 Strange Entity Clan!"

The Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith, which was originally suspended in the air, understood at this moment. Xiangyang's expression was not fake, and he immediately grinned knowingly.

"I see."

"I see."

"So you didn't know you were Innate Dark Sacred Physique, and the Mortal Domain didn't know you were Innate Dark Sacred Physique either."

"A great and Innate Dark Monarch."

Let me introduce myself.

"My name is 'Greed,' and I come from the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan, the 'Wasteland Clan.'"

"I've come to this Sea Domain because Thunderstorm Sea caused a landslide that triggered unusual Heaven and Earth phenomena. I've been ordered to investigate whether the reports are true."

He then slowly landed, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head to the Ghost Emperor he was meeting for the first time.

"Whatever your reason for temporarily being under the command of the Mortal Domain."

"But one"

"Strange Entities and humans are mortal enemies, irreconcilable."

"The Mortal Domain is just using you."

"If you come back with me, I swear on my own hair that you will become the leader of the 'Wasteland Clan.' Even if the original leader of the Wasteland Clan disagrees, you only need to raise your arms and shout, and countless Strange Entities will be willing to help you take the head of the original leader of the Wasteland Clan."

I will serve you faithfully, at your beck and call.

"Real?"

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu hesitated, seemingly incredulous, and asked, "Just because I was Innate Dark Sacred Physique, you're willing to kill your former leader?"

"How is that possible?"

He opened his mouth as he approached.

"It couldn't be more real."

"Greed" kneeling on one knee, at this moment, couldn't help but think about the future prospects of following a Dark Monarch. His breathing gradually became rapid, and he subconsciously ignored the approaching Jiu Wu.

They simply gaze towards the Xiangyang.

"The Subordinate next to you seems to be someone who has seen the world."

You might not believe me.

You should be able to believe what he says.

It's true!

Ghost Emperor Xiangyang followed closely behind Jiu Wu, his voice even trembling with tears. "Boss, I really didn't know you had Innate Dark Sacred Physique! Believe me, what he said is true!"

"And you don't necessarily have to go to the Wasteland Clan."

"You just need to go into the War Mire."

"Raise your arms and shout!"

"Countless Level-3 Strange Entity Clan members will fawn over you, treating you as their supreme ruler. Let that damned Mortal Domain die! We'll take charge of our own destiny and conquer the world!"

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang was very anxious.

For the first time, he felt that he was so close to reaching the pinnacle of this world.

It turned out that such a large thigh was right next to me.

As for the dozen or so old subordinates of Jiu Wu Ghost Emperor stood there expressionless, following their leader wherever he went.

Are you really sure?

The Ghost Emperor, somewhat tempted, asked again, "If I simply raise my arm and shout, you can kill your former leader of the Wasteland Clan?"

"Make me the boss?"

"Absolutely true."

"Greed," kneeling on one knee, as if afraid Jiu Wu wouldn't believe him, raised his head and looked at the approaching Jiu Wu, saying each word clearly, "And I won't hesitate at all, I..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Smack!"

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu had gotten close enough, and with a huge slap, as if swatting a mosquito, he tightly grabbed the dwarf Ghost Emperor in his hand, held him up in front of his eyes, and murmured.

"Then your Wasteland Clan is truly a bunch of beasts."

"Even if a more powerful Dark Monarch were to raise his arms and shout before my Subordinate would never kill me."

"Just so that there's a more powerful boss, someone who can ruthlessly kill the original boss."

"You Subordinate."

Even if you offered it to me, I wouldn't want it.

"Chattering and whining."

"Come back with me to see the Domain Lord."

"You.."

The unbelievable Heart-Eating Wraith was tightly gripped in his hand, utterly powerless to resist. Enraged, it roared, "Are you insane?! You're Innate Dark Monarch, and you're going to be a dog to a human?!"

Do you know what you're doing?

What do you mean by "be a dog"?

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu snorted coldly before walking towards the Teleportation Formation behind him, "The history books clearly state that it was about forming an alliance. Can you please stop reading these pirated history books?"

Don't you know you should support genuine products?

Then he stood on the Teleportation Formation and smiled contentedly.

"So effortless, yet so accomplished."

"Good."

"It's good" was the Domain Lord's catchphrase, which he secretly learned and used when the Domain Lord wasn't around. He thought these two words were sophisticated and that saying them would make him seem very high-class.

"Xiangyang, come home! What are you standing there for?"

"Boss."

Unable to believe what had happened, the Ghost Emperor Xiangyang knelt on the ground, his eyes red and hysterical, shouting, "What are we going back for? You are Innate Dark Monarch! The outside world is waiting for us to conquer it! What are we going back to the Mortal Domain for?!"

Are you really willing to be a dog for the Mortal Domain for the rest of your life?

As for the other dozen or so Ghost Emperor, they had long since joined Jiu Wu on the Teleportation Formation.

The smile on the face of the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu gradually faded, replaced by a hint of Ice-Cold. After a long silence, he looked at Xiangyang and said softly.

"I initially thought you shared my ideals, which is why I applied to the Domain Lord to let you join the Mortal Domain and follow me."

But now it seems...

"It seems our ideas are somewhat different."

"Do you know what the Domain Lord said to me before I came here?"

"I saw the struggle within the Domain Lord's heart."

"I didn't know that before, but just now I understand why the Domain Lord was struggling internally; he had already anticipated this scene."

"The Domain Lord said I am his friend."

I don't want to let my friends down.

"Xiangyang."

"Come back with me."

"Let's go home."

"The so-called struggle for supremacy is nothing but an illusory dream, like a bubble, bright on the surface, but destined to burst."

"Huyi Continent is our true home."

Our friends and family are there.

"Xiangyang."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu looked at Xiangyang, who was kneeling on the spot with an extremely painful expression, and calmly extended his hand as if waiting for an embrace, and said softly.

"Stand up and come home with me."
