Chen Fan turned around and looked at Yun Du behind him, then weighed the Diary in his hand and casually tossed it into Yun Du's arms.
"For you."
"Return it to its rightful owner."
He didn't bother reading the contents.
Most of the time, they won't say anything nice.
"Thank you, Domain Lord!"
Yun Du was almost instantly moved to tears as he took the Diary and stuffed it into his arms. If it weren't for the inconvenience of the place, he would have wanted to swallow the Diary whole.
Then.
Chen Fan continued to survey the area inside the Strange Entity Command Center.
Just then, " Domain Lord."
The Logistics Pavilion Member reported again, "We found an intact Warehouse with a seal on the door that reads ' Heaven Gate Fated War Exclusive Reserves.' We tried to remove the seal, but to no avail."
After Incense Stick.
Led by Logistics Pavilion Member, Chen Fan and the others arrived at the Warehouse.
A lonely Warehouse.
The surrounding area was riddled with craters, but this Warehouse stood firm without a single scratch.
Jiu Wu tried to reach out and tear off the seal.
His hand went straight through the seal.
Just like the Warehouse in front of them, which was merely Mirage and not actually there, the busy Logistics Pavilion Member nearby also stopped what they were doing upon seeing this.
They tried to dig the Warehouse upside down.
However, it was completely ineffective.
When they dug out the soil beneath the Warehouse, it was found to be suspended in mid- Warehouse without a foundation, which completely defied the laws of physics.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at all of this.
The war between the Human Race and the Strange Entity Clan has ended.
If it weren't for the presence of Hades, the Strange Entity Clan would have already been defeated. But even at this point, Hades didn't activate his " Heaven Gate Fated War Exclusive Reserves "?
What an obsession!
The Strange Entity Clan can perish.
Can't we afford to lose the Heaven Gate Fated War?
The Heaven Gate Fated War...
What exactly gave Hades such an irresistible reason to not lose?
More and more information about discovering " Hades's foundation" came to my ears; some were in Cave, some at the entrance of some abandoned secret realm, and some in piles of rocks.
But without exception.
They are all sealed and cannot be used or even moved.
However, there was also good news.
" Domain Lord."
"Another Hades's treasure has been found. There are no seals here, and the entrance is inscribed with the words ' Hades's treasure can be activated,' and..."
The Mortal Domain Member relayed the message did not continue speaking.
His voice was trembling slightly.
It was as if they had discovered some incredible secret.
at this time.
This place is like a paradise on earth, with Eerie Stone and Exotic Treasure scattered all over the ground. The Logistics Pavilion has not yet taken stock of the post-war resources, and its main task at present is still exploration.
"Let's go take a look."
soon.
Chen Fan and the others arrived at a precipice. On the perfectly straight cliff face in front of them was a cave entrance. It was pitch black inside, with no end in sight and no light.
Besides the inscription "It can activate the essence of Hades," other words were also engraved on the wall next to it.
"The Cave of the Hades."
"If Hades dies in battle outside, he will be resurrected here seven days later."
Regardless of the means by which they are killed.
"No entry!"
"It contains Hades' energy; any Living Beings that enters it, except for Hades and his severed sub-body, will die instantly."
"If the Strange Entity Clan is ever to be defeated, please immediately seal off this place to prevent the secondary entity from entering, seizing the Hades's energy, and causing its strength to surge, and leading to..."
"This prevents Hades from being resurrected."
"That's really sneaky!"
Wang Kui looked at the inscription on the wall and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "No matter how you're killed, you can be resurrected here in seven days. How shameless of you!"
Fortunately, Fei Yu, in despair, committed suicide at the Command Post, preventing the area from being sealed off in time.
"We actually got a good deal."
" Jiu Wu."
"It's up to you."
There is only one secondary body that Hades cut off in the Heaven and Earth, and that is " Jiu Wu ".
Yun Du stared at the scene before him in a daze. How many things had Hades kept from him? How could he, the former person in charge, know nothing?
The writing on the wall.
The passage of time has left indelible marks on it; though it has faded somewhat, it still exudes an ancient charm.
" Domain Lord."
"So... I'll go in?"
"Jiu Wu said somewhat nervously."
Chen Fan didn't speak, but just stood there leaning on his Jadeite Staff, gazing at the dark cave entrance before him. After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This Fei Yu is truly sinister."
"Even at this point, they still want to prepare another move, attempting to sacrifice Jiu Wu to allow the Hades to regain his full strength. In terms of loyalty, there aren't many in the Strange Entity Clan who can compare to Fei Yu."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The group behind them froze on the spot, and after a long while, they reacted and said in disbelief, "A trap?"
"Most likely."
Chen Fan raised his cane and pointed to the inscription carved on the rock wall ahead. "There are too many words. It's almost like an expository text. Is it really necessary to write so many words in such an extremely hidden and important place? Are they afraid people won't know about it?"
Even if there are instructions.
"If word of mouth isn't enough, must it be carved into the rock face?"
"The handwriting has most likely been artificially aged; it was probably done by Fei Yu after his power had waned."
"I initially thought that Fei Yu's suicide at the Command Post was an act of giving up in despair. Now it seems that while Fei Yu did give up on herself, she did not despair."
"It's to make us think that Fei Yu has given up hope and has no time to care about anything after his death."
"Then it was naturally assumed that the Cave was not sealed off immediately."
"Furthermore, since Fei Yu is dead, we subconsciously tend to overlook the fact that Fei Yu is still plotting against us."
"If I'm not mistaken."
"Once Jiu Wu goes inside, there will likely be a major crisis. There might be some kind of formation preventing Jiu Wu from leaving, and they may have stockpiled a large number of Black Weapon, or some means to prevent Jiu Wu's resurrection."
There is only one objective.
"Trick Jiu Wu into going in alone, then kill Jiu Wu."
"Let Hades ascend to godhood."
"It's not impossible that Fei Yu might have genuinely forgotten to handle the aftermath in his despair, but I think that's unlikely."
" Jiu Wu."
"Call your Azure Dragon Corps over here, aim at this mountain, and fire!"
"Clear."
Jiu Wu nodded heavily, his eyes filled with lingering fear. That Fei Yu was truly cunning!
In no time at all.
Large numbers of Azure Dragon arrived and began bombarding the mountain without stopping. They had no intention of going into any Cave; exploration was for children. They were adults and needed to eliminate dangers.
"Boom boom boom!"
Countless bolts of lightning ripped through the sky.
As everything gradually quieted down, the mountain had already collapsed, leaving only dust scattered across the sky.
The next moment!
Streaks of Crimson Streamer, carrying an overwhelming ferocity, burst forth from the dust, heading straight for Chen Fan and his group.
A murderous intent suddenly arose!
" Domain Lord!"
Jiu Wu roared and drew his Blood-red Long Blade from his chest. Just as he was about to strike, he saw the streaks of Crimson Streamer suddenly stop and kneel down in unison.
It was as if I had seen a ghost.
They looked at the Extinction Demon Emperor standing behind them and roared in unison.
" Big Brother!"
66
66
Chen Fan and his group glanced at the Extinction Demon Emperor standing at the back, then at the 60 ghosts kneeling in front...
Yes.
ghost.
Hades once imprisoned 63 Level 90 ghosts in the " Ghost Mound," three of whom have long since belonged to the Mortal Domain. The remaining 60 did not show themselves in this battle, but it seems they are all here now.
Sixty ghosts from Hell.
The Extinction Demon Emperor coughed lightly. "Everyone, stand up first, and tell me what happened."
Although he has been out of the martial arts world for many years, his legend still lives on.
To be honest...
It felt so good to pull this stunt in front of my second brother!
He glanced at Chen Fan out of the corner of his eye.
" Big Brother!"
One of the ghosts immediately turned red-rimmed, his voice trembling with sobs as he said, "After the Strange Entity Clan captured us, they tortured us day and night. Yesterday, they moved us to this mountain and sealed us away, even lighting 'Soul-Burning Incense,' causing us to suffer endless pain from the Depths of the Soul."
"The seal has just been broken."
"We thought the outside was inhabited by the Strange Entity Clan, so we decided to fight to the death and kill as many of the Strange Entity Clan as possible."
"We still have three brothers."
"After being taken away a few days ago, he never came back. I suppose... I suppose..."
That brings us to this.
All the ghosts' eyes were a little moist. " Big Brother, you must avenge ' Qi Mao ' and the others!"
66
59
Logistics Pavilion Master Little Qiu silently set up a Teleportation Formation beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, three clean-cut 90s-level figures dressed in Mortal Domain attire appeared.
The level-two ghost emerged from the Teleportation Formation.
The moment I got out.
He first looked at Chen Fan and said respectfully, "Greetings, Domain Lord."
He then looked at the Extinction Demon Emperor: "Greetings, Big Brother."
Only then did he notice his former comrades-in-arms, and said with some disbelief.
You guys aren't dead!
"You guys aren't dead?!"
The two voices spoke almost simultaneously.
The ghost kneeling on the ground, its eyes red-rimmed, looked down at its own body. It had been tormented for a long time, leaving it scarred, emaciated, and without any Clothing on. In contrast, its three companions, whom it thought were long dead, were not only well-dressed but also full of energy.
"Weren't you... supposedly sent on a mission?"
"Hold head high."
Qi Mao nodded seriously. "My heart is not with the Strange Entity Clan, how could I possibly work hard to carry out missions for the Strange Entity Clan? My heart has always been with the Human Race, and I'm now with the Mortal Domain Realm."
" The Mortal Domain is under the control of the Human Race, Big Brother, the Extinction Demon Emperor, is also under the control of the Human Race."
"You two can chat all you want."
Chen Fan waved his hand and walked towards a spot not far away; he still had many places to check.
There's absolutely no Hades background here.
Only Fei Yu has 60 large demons that he moved out of the Ghost Mound yesterday, intending to kill Jiu Wu by trickery. Fei Yu is really cunning and wicked.
They're all dead.
We need to devise another scheme against him.
"Go."
" Yun Du, go burn some paper money for Fei Yu later and tell him that this plan has also failed."
"I have to tell him the result."
"Yes!"
Yun Du nodded hastily, having to admit that Fei Yu was more capable than him. Once he was certain of his death, he basically stopped caring about anything, while Fei Yu struggled even knowing he was going to die.
Even when faced with despair, never give up.
Give it a try.
There's always a chance.
Although it didn't really have any effect.
He looked at Chen Fan's back, wondering how the Domain Lord had seen through it so quickly; he hadn't even considered that possibility.
" Domain Lord."
Yun Du chased after him, and suddenly felt he wanted to say something, even though he felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
"If... if we want Fei Yu's 'posthumous plan' to succeed, what improvements are needed? Would it be better not to carve any words?"
59
Chen Fan glanced at Yun Du, smiled, and said nothing more.
No one in this world is immune to being scammed; they just haven't found a scam tailor-made for them yet.
Fei Yu's scam was the simplest of all.
"Enticement with benefits".
The biggest advantage of this scam is its high applicability; it can be used on most people. The downside is that while people see huge profits, they will subconsciously become wary.
If you want to Jiu Wu into the trap.
That would have to be tailor-made.
for example...
"A Cave."
" Jiu Wu received news unintentionally that there was a huge rock with an extremely unique shape, like a sculpture of a god, with an extremely long history, and also a Rare and high-grade extraterrestrial material, which was very suitable for making the Skeleton Nine-Five Dragon Chariot chariot."
Then... Jiu Wu will probably rush over there all by himself, all excited.
Take the boulder back.
It's meant to be offered to him.
There are still many difficulties in this plan, such as how to ensure that Jiu Wu will definitely land and how to ensure that Jiu Wu will receive the information, but if these are overcome, Jiu Wu will most likely sneak over without telling anyone.
Once they left, they never came back.
Fortunately, Fei Yu didn't know much about the Jiu Wu.
If you know enough.
That...
That might cause some trouble.
How wicked, Little Fei Yu!
As for how he discovered it so quickly, it was mainly because the act of carving words had triggered him. He had only ever seen one other Strange Entities that liked carving words so much, and that carving was so detailed. That creature Heaven's Mandate.
Here comes a second one.
It couldn't have been carved by Heaven's Mandate.
That guy always had to leave his name on whatever he carved. He even suspected that the guy didn't carve the content first, but rather his name.
We'll discuss whether the content can be saved later.
The name needs to be left first.
Boundary Battlefield, a deserted Sea Domain.
Hades, clad in a scarlet robe, walked between Heaven and Earth, his face calm as he gazed ahead at the " Heavenly Punishment Continent," whose speed of escape had gradually slowed.
He had already sensed it.
The Strange Entity Clan was nearly wiped out.
However, Hades's face did not reveal much expression.
They simply followed patiently behind the Heavenly Punishment Continent.
No one knows what Hades is thinking at this moment.
After a long while.
Hades suddenly looked up at the sky, his deep pupils seeming to pierce through countless barriers and finally focus his gaze on the " Heaven Gate Battlefield ".
Half a day later.
Chen Fan returned to the Eternal Night Continent. Standing on the City Wall, he stretched lazily, gazing at the calming ocean before him. He had no time to celebrate Human Race's victory; what was about to unfold was...
Hades!
He needs to build up his foundation as quickly as possible during this period.
To be honest...
The exact strength assessment of Hades is unknown; it's only known that he's Level 90+, but his specific level is unclear. In short, he's very strong.
They need to prepare as much as possible.
Chen Fan.
Zhong Yi did not leave. After Chen Fan returned, he immediately stepped forward and asked curiously, "What was the deal with those three continents that the Angler Clan suddenly brought over?"
"That one."
Chen Fan chuckled softly.
"Actually, there's nothing much to say. When the Bridge of Ten Thousand Bones was being built, I was worried there wouldn't be enough time, so I sent the ' Angler Clan' to make preparations in secret."
"For them, fishing up a few continents isn't a difficult task."
"The original plan was to locate the 'resident continents' behind the Human Race, but those continents were too heavy and somewhat troublesome. So, we found three Fifth-Level Continent in the 1024 Heavens, upgraded them to level six, and evacuated all the people. These three continents then came to the Boundary Battlefield."
" The Angler has returned to the landing point."
"We've been traveling all the way."
"Lure these three continents over bit by bit, and arrive at the Frontline just in time."
66
Zhong Yi complicated expression, he nodded. "You calculated that in the end, there's only a gap of three continents left?"
"I'm not from the Hexagram Heaven Continent."
"I don't know how to tell fortunes."
"At the time, I simply thought that I should help in any way I could. If I helped a little, you helped a little, he helped a little, and we all helped a little, then there would be more hope."
Zhong Yi took a deep breath, unsure of what to say. If it weren't for the three continents sent by the Mortal Domain, he truly didn't know what the outcome would have been.
" The Hexagram Heaven Continent, I remember this continent, isn't it one of the 1024 Heavens and Earths?"
"Yes, half of his continent was sunk by the ' Song Toward Heaven ' continent."
"... After the war, the Human Race will be responsible for repairs."
"And could you please tell me the names of the other two continents? We need them to be recorded in history."
" The Gods and Devils Continent and Giggly Continent."
Chen Fan said softly.
These three continents arrived at the Boundary Battlefield at the last moment. Of course, everyone else was still in " 1024 Heavens," only the continents came.
Of course, the mainland can no longer return to the 1024 Heavens.
At the same time.
On the Boundary Battlefield, the races that had been observing the battle from various corners using all sorts of methods were now all silent, finding it hard to accept the outcome.
They certainly hoped that the Human Race would win.
At least the Human Race won't turn them into " War Machine," but...
They didn't expect the Human Race to actually win.
Third Dark Turmoil.
The Strange Entity Clan maintained an absolute advantage almost from beginning to end during these Third Dark Turmoil, losing only once—this one loss that wiped out their entire fortune.
If Hades weren't still alive.
The Strange Entity Clan can now be declared utterly defeated; thereafter, the Strange Entity Clan ceases to exist in the world.
On a certain continent.
Wraith King, sitting cross-legged in the center, retracted the giant crimson eye Hades had been hovering high in the sky. "The war has temporarily come to an end. Now we'll see if Human Race can defeat Hades after his return."
"This battle."
That's when it was truly decided who the ultimate winner would be.
A wisp of Gray Fog floating in the air beside them swayed slightly and spoke in a somewhat ethereal voice.
" Hades appeared only after the Second Dark Turmoil ended, meaning that if Hades hadn't suddenly appeared, Human Race would have already truly won."
"There's no point in saying that."
Wraith King shook his head.
"Ultimately, we still have to look at the results. We can't say that it's unfair that the Strange Entity Clan has gained a Hades or anything like that. If you want to talk about it, I don't remember being a Ghost before. How did I suddenly get thrown here and become a Ghost? I also think it's very unfair."
"So, what were you before, bro?"
"I don't remember. I've lost a lot of my memories, but I was definitely not a monster before. I vaguely remember that I was a powerful figure from some Minor Races, but... I'm dead."
"I was inexplicably resurrected."
I'm pretty confused too.
Just then, the king of the " Upside-Down Tribe," who was hanging upside down from a nearby tree trunk, hesitated and said, "How about we join the Human Race now? That way, if the Human Race wins, they probably won't punish us, right?"
"Isn't it a bit late?"
Wraith King raised an eyebrow and said, "You're here to nurse the dead, and now that the war is over, you're running over there eagerly saying you want to join the Human Race?"
Not a drop of blood was shed, yet the merit was not diminished.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch."
66
59
The king of the Upside-Down Tribe was slightly taken aback, then said somewhat absentmindedly, "Brother, were you really not Human Race before? I've only ever seen this kind of way of speaking among Human Race."
I wasn't trying to claim credit.
"I just wanted to make a statement, to show that we are willing to submit to the Human Race."
"After the War Ends, regardless of which side wins, Heaven and Earth will definitely be a thorough cleanup, and we certainly won't be able to hide anymore."
Just saying.
The king of the Mist-Eating Tribe, who was floating nearby, coughed lightly.
"The war isn't completely over yet."
" Human Race has only achieved a major victory in this phase; the war with Hades has not yet begun. To be honest, although Human Race won this time, I also feel that Human Race's foundation has been significantly depleted. The battle with Hades is somewhat uncertain."
"Actually, it's not that difficult, is it?" The king of the Upside-Down Tribe said somewhat unconvinced, " The Human Race's single Heavenly Punishment Continent was enough to hold off the Underworld Hades for so long. Now there are hundreds of thousands of continents here. Even if you pile them up, you could still overwhelm the Hades, right?"
That's not how it works.
The king of the Mist-Eating Tribe said seriously, " The Heavenly Punishment Continent is a top-tier Ninth-Level Continent. Look at any other Human Race continent; which one has that kind of strength? My main point is that if you join the Human Race now, and the Strange Entity Clan wins, wouldn't you be in trouble?"
"Since you just want to express your opinion..."
"I'm not trying to claim credit."
"Then why don't we just wait until the game is over, and then join whichever side wins?"
"Anyway, we're just opportunists, so there's no point in pretending to be loyal. Nobody believes us anyway, and nobody cares that we're opportunists; there always has to be some grass in the world."
"Stop!"
Wraith King interrupted their argument.
"I must remind you, if one side achieves a complete victory, the Third Dark Turmoil will come to a complete end, and the Human Race and the Strange Entity Clan will have already decided their victor. At that time, it will be impossible to join either the Human Race or the Strange Entity Clan by using the covenant of Heaven and Earth."
"And they won't enjoy the same benefits as the Victory Clan."
"That Upside-Down Tribe guy reminded me. Joining now might not bring any merit, but if the Human Race wins, then you'll be the Victory Clan."
"Those who possess the rewards of Heaven and Earth."
"Look..."
"Just like the Lizard Clan of the past, you've transformed into the Dragon Clan. While you won't receive such a grand reward, the title of 'Victory Clan' will be very useful."
"To be honest, I'm a little envious of you guys."
The Wraith King, sitting cross-legged in the center of the continent, sighed and said, "Don't we ghosts have a chance to vote?"
"I also want to cast my vote."
"I will submit to the Mortal Domain."
"This guy is fierce."
