Jiang Ziliu was overjoyed that the Forging Throne had awakened.
"I apologize, this time I slept for a longer period, but fortunately, it allowed me to recover quite a bit. When I retrieved this Origin Divine Ship that I forged, it also carried some fragments of myself, which is why I carried out the repair work while I was asleep."
The Forging Throne explained why it had been asleep for so long.
It turns out that there was a fragment of the Forging Throne inside the Origin Divine Ship. The spirit of the Origin Divine Ship, Qingling, was mainly focused on Forging Throne, and even though Forging Throne was his tamed beast, he did not reveal this information.
Qingling obtained a non-core fragment for Forging Throne during her wanderings in the void.
In order to protect this fragment from being discovered by the enemies who were Forging Throne, it persisted in staying in the void turbulence. In the end, it could not hold on any longer and fell into the Dungeon Space controlled by the Cloud Dream Marsh Beast Taming Academy, where it turned into a huge mountain.
Jiang Ziliu didn't take the matter seriously; as long as the Forging Throne was restored, that was fine.
"Master! This time, I'll take you to find your fifth tamed beast. He's special; he's even more powerful than me!"
The Forging Throne guided Jiang Ziliu to a place in Yunmeng Marsh.
There is a huge whirlpool here, and below it lies an unknown underground river that continuously draws away the waters of Yunmeng Marsh.
Jiang Ziliu entered it.
This vortex, nearly 100 meters in diameter, is incredibly powerful, but Jiang Ziliu is already Supreme Rank expert and can withstand this water system head-on.
But instead of fighting the current, he took out the bark left over from the transformation of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, which he had obtained from the Void Merchant.
He held the bark and the mysterious leaf and metal disc he had obtained in his hands, and floated downstream without resistance.
Jiang Ziliu was swept downstream by the water flow, moving forward continuously like a tough rock, constantly colliding with the surrounding rocks.
Fortunately, his physique is now very strong. These impacts could kill a Bronze Rank life form, but they couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
After being swept along by the current for nearly half an hour, his body suddenly passed through a mysterious spatial barrier and entered a black pool of water.
Following the instructions of the Forging Throne, Jiang Ziliu climbed out of the pool.
Outside the pool was a huge cave, the entire cave's rocks and mudstone displaying a terrifying blood-red hue with traces of pale gray, as if it were a blood-red cave.
His Divine Power touched the rock and was immediately devoured by a bloodthirsty aura within it.
In that instant, Jiang Ziliu felt as if he were being devoured by countless terrifying evil spirits.
It seems that a hell lurks within these rocks and soil, hiding countless blood-red, malevolent spirits!
"This is the Blood Soul Land! It's land polluted by the blood of Demigod or even stronger beings who fell. Don't easily use your Divine Power to touch it, or you'll be devoured. This place is very dangerous. Even if you are Supreme, you can only observe it with your eyes and ears."
The Forging Throne provides an explanation for this situation.
"This is a safe zone in the Blood Soul Land. The real danger lies beyond this Blood Soul Land. Be careful of everything there!"
Jiang Ziliu asked curiously, "How did the Blood Soul Land appear on Blue Water Star?"
" Blue Water Star was originally the battlefield of an ancient divine war, a battlefield that was originally the Blood Soul Land. Later, powerful beings joined forces to seal it into the deep void, and established a life-bearing planet on it. This life-bearing planet is the master's home, Blue Water Star!"
The Forging Throne has revealed a shocking secret.
It turns out that Blue Water Star is actually a planet located on a terrifying sealed land. No wonder there are terrifying Evil God and other powerful beings at Scallion Ridge.
He felt that Blue Water Star was like a Diamond that people both liked and feared, and countless interstellar races had made their plans on Blue Water Star.
But they were very careful, doing small things but never crossing the line.
The true powerhouses of the Human Race turned a blind eye to this.
So this is where the root of everything lies. Blue Water Star is indeed extraordinary; this ancient battlefield alone is worthy of their attention and requires them to invest considerable resources.
However, this Blood Soul Land clearly harbors immense danger, causing everyone to treat it with great caution.
"Is there some hidden horror here? Something similar to someone of your level?"
Jiang Ziliu raised another question.
"Yes, deep within the Blood Soul Land, there are terrifying things that could easily kill me even in my prime. Fortunately, they are sealed, but even a trace of their power leaking out would be a super catastrophe."
The Forging Throne confirmed Jiang Ziliu's guess.
"We're only on the outermost edge of the Blood Soul Land. Unless you cause a major disturbance, you won't be in too much danger!"
Hearing how dangerous the situation was, Jiang Ziliu had no intention of backing down.
Because here, he can obtain the fifth beast.
The Forging Throne had enhanced his abilities, and if he could make the other party his second King Beast, then Jiang Ziliu would have made a fortune.
Because this one is at a higher level than the Forging Throne.
The practice of Gou Dao Liu requires minimizing risks, but not absolutely avoiding them!
The risks we take today are so that we can survive in an even more dangerous environment in the future.
Even the most righteous path requires strength, resources, knowledge, and experience as its foundation.
A Kun, Thousand Faces, Lady White, even if they support him until he reaches the Demigod Rank, will find it difficult to provide support that is beneficial to his survival and development in the Gou Dao Liu style.
On the contrary, at that time they needed him to risk helping them improve.
A Kun's evolution requires the Titan Nest, and Lady White's evolution requires the Dragon Gate; both are very dangerous things.
And in the future, there will likely be many more opportunities like this to help them improve.
Therefore, he needs the support of the restored Forging Throne, and the support of a powerhouse of similar or even stronger level than the Forging Throne.
The Blood Soul Land is a dangerous place with great risks, but this is for the sake of a risk-free future.
The risks we face today are far less than the risks we would face if we acted in the future.
Jiang Ziliu is now confident that he can use either the Forging Throne or the Origin Divine Ship, the Divine Hammer, to escape the Blood Soul Land in a critical moment!
Jiang Ziliu walked through the blood-gray cave for nearly thirty kilometers before finally emerging from it.
As long as he doesn't use his Divine Power, he won't trigger the terrifying power within the rocks and soil, making him relatively safe.
Only after emerging from the cave did Jiang Ziliu see the true face of the Blood Soul Land.
The Blood Soul Land is a completely new world, an incomparably vast world.
In the sky Blood Soul Land, there are nine suns, all of which are small and far away, just enough to make the surface temperature close to that of the chaos of Blue Water Star.
However, the sun's colors are a bit off; it's divided into nine colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and gray.
Moreover, none of the small suns of each color gave people the gentle feeling of a normal sun; instead, they gave people a terrifying feeling that made their skin feel cold and creepy.
What's even more special is that the nine irregular suns are distributed around the perimeter of the sky.
But at the relative center of these nine suns is a huge, blood-red crescent moon.
This blood moon is the core of the sky, while the nine eerie, oddly colored suns serve as its protectors.
This is clearly a sign of the sun and moon being reversed!
Jiang Ziliu glanced at it once, then dared not look at the sky again. Whether it was the nine-colored sun or the blood-red crescent moon, it was an unknown terror.
The greatest danger on the Blood Soul Land lies in the sky; staring at it for too long could bring immense peril.
However, the surface that has turned a deep red is not a normal surface.
On the surface, a layer of gray matter is spread out, and when the wind blows gently, it forms a huge gray fog.
Jiang Ziliu looked down and examined it closely, discovering that it was actually pure ashes.
He then kicked away the nearly foot-thick layer of ashes and discovered that the ground was pure, gleaming blood-red rock.
The bloodstains were extremely thick, as if a layer of evil blood was about to seep out from the ground!
The blood-red, chilling rock floor, and the nearly foot-thick layer of ashes scattered on it, all silently testify to the horror of this world.
Jiang Ziliu felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, at that moment, a mysterious force seemed to seep into the copper piece in his hand, making him feel more comfortable.
Having just arrived here, even though he was Supreme Rank life form, this Blood Soul Land gave Jiang Ziliu a rude awakening.
Jiang Ziliu knew that the leaf-shaped metal disc in his hand was no ordinary object, but he hadn't expected it to be so powerful that it could actually help him combat the eerie and chilling atmosphere here.
The surface of this land is flat, but at regular intervals, there are huge stone pillars standing on it.
Jiang Ziliu was far away and couldn't see what was on the stone pillar.
On this Blood Soul Land, his originally superhuman vision was also suppressed, and he could only see at a distance that was closer than that of an ordinary person.
The leaf-shaped metal disc and the molted bark of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom gave him guidance, leading him in a certain direction.
It was as if a guiding line had appeared in his mind, leading him to follow it.
If it weren't for the prior warning before Forging Throne, he wouldn't have dared to follow this unknown instruction.
But now, he has to do it.
The Forging Throne once again suppressed its aura, for this place was now the true Blood Soul Land.
The aura Forging Throne is too unique and too sensitive; it might attract the attention of some of his "old friends" here.
Both the Forging Throne and Jiang Ziliu had to be wary of this.
From this moment forward, Jiang Ziliu can only proceed by following this instruction in order to achieve relative safety here.
He followed the instructions, his footsteps sinking deeper and deeper into the horrific ground of cremated remains.
Jiang Ziliu had to walk faster because every time he stepped or lifted his foot, a cloud of bone ash would form behind him.
If he walks too slowly, he himself will become the object of this fog of ashes.
This is not a pleasant experience.
Jiang Ziliu took out a gas mask from the magical artifact world and put it on to prevent himself from inhaling the ashes, which he didn't know might have mysterious toxicity or negative effects.
He did not summon his three tamed beasts, because the Blood Soul Land did not allow summoners' tamed beasts to appear.
This was what the Forging Throne told him about the taboos of this place.
Here, one can only rely on one's own strength. Once a beast appears, both the beast tamer and the beast master will experience an anomaly.
Following the directions given by the bark of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, Jiang Ziliu walked less than two kilometers before arriving near a huge stone pillar.
Surprisingly, there were no ashes near this stone pillar; it was remarkably clean.
But it was precisely this that made Jiang Ziliu feel that the stone pillar itself was dangerous.
His guess was correct. When he got closer, he found that the stone pillar, which was nearly 100 meters in diameter and less than 100 meters in height, had a very irregular shape, somewhat like a stone forest in a weathered desert.
But what's embedded in their surfaces is truly chilling.
The first thing Jiang Ziliu saw was a face filled with struggle, as if someone had been sucked into the stone pillar, trying to struggle out and escape, but ultimately died in the struggle.
His image was forever frozen there, forming a statue of a face struggling to escape.
The stone pillars don't just have human faces on them.
There were also several half-body statues of strange beasts: a giant eagle, a giant wolf, and a tortoise. The three half-body statues were all located around the human face.
They also resemble figures bound by something, struggling to break free from the stone pillar in order to survive.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
Jiang Ziliu felt a chill run down his spine, but after a moment's analysis, he determined that this was a Human Race tamer who was unaware of the taboos of this place and had summoned a beast here.
Perhaps it was because the other party violated some taboo of this place that the beast tamer, along with his three tamed beasts—an eagle, a wolf, and a tortoise—were sealed into this stone pillar, becoming an eternal landscape of this Blood Soul Land.
What are the chances that these four are still alive?
Jiang Ziliu had some guesses in his mind, and in order to verify his guesses, he made Probability Judgment.
50.0%!
A very balanced answer.
What is the probability that these four people are already dead?
50.0%!
Jiang Ziliu understood that these four people were sealed into the stone pillar while still alive, and that they were currently in a strange, balanced state of being half-dead and half-alive.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this beast tamer and his beasts were like living dead!
Jiang Ziliu speculated that perhaps these stone pillars, and the entities they sealed, were part of the terrifying power that made up this Blood Soul Land.
He then performed another Probability Judgment.
"Given their current state, what are the chances that they will become part of the power structure of the Blood Soul Land?"
100%!
This answer confirms Jiang Ziliu's guess about the Blood Soul Land: the Blood Soul Land may have originally been terrifying, but not nearly as horrible as it is now.
Its current terrifying nature is a result of the combined effect of these entities sealed within the stone pillars; it is a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change.
It's just unknown what kind of powerful figure would set up such a grand scheme on this Blood Soul Land!
On this Blood Soul Land, similar stone pillars are everywhere.
These stone pillars are only the first part of the dangers in this land; other dangers may not exist on the surface like these stone pillars and the taboos here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziliu became even more cautious.
If he hadn't sensed that the target indicated by the guide wasn't far away, he would have thought of turning back immediately.
But Jiang Ziliu ultimately chose to persevere and stride forward!
