After the Supreme Demon Domain was pacified, Lin Yi dispatched people to guard this vast territory.
Considering the Ancient Domain's unique nature, Lin Yi had no intention of turning this territory into part of the Ancient Domain.
He still intended to let the Monsters develop freely here, competing and plundering one another.
However, the sources of important Heaven and Earth Power, as well as purple-, gold-, and red-grade spiritual materials, had to remain under his control and could not be allowed to slip away.
Furthermore, Monsters could no longer eat humans. If any were found doing so, they would be slaughtered on sight, until every Monster that held the notion of eating humans had been wiped out.
In short, Lin Yi believed the Ancient Domain could not be without external pressure.
The surviving Monsters of the Supreme Demon Domain would become a trial ground for the younger generation of the Ancient Domain.
After all, once a force had no enemies, it would quickly collapse from within. Lin Yi did not want the people of the Ancient Domain to become complacent and closed-off because of him.
On the tenth day after Wushi and the others departed, Lin Yi finally restored stability to the Ancient Domain. Only then did the many Ninth Realm Martial Saint Ancestors finally learn where the Venerable Saints and Mansion Masters had gone.
Quite a few Nine-Realm Ancestors sighed with regret. Had they known that this operation would allow them to explore the legendary Apocalypse Continent, they would have followed no matter what.
With the Venerable Saints and Mansion Masters no longer around to keep things in check, rumors that Descenders were unfit to become the Lord of the Ancient Domain began spreading through the Ancient Domain once more.
Fortunately, Lin Yi had prepared for this long ago.
