Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390

The person who just returned was headed towards the Dark Empire. Although the Dark Empire is further away, they departed earlier and were more familiar with the internal situation of the Dark Empire, also knowing what it was like now.

Given the current miserable state of the Dark Empire, it seemed impossible that any Divine Spirit was supporting them.

Twenty sixth-tier powerhouses flew there and not a single one was lost; all returned. However, quite a number of people were captured. These included grand nobles, royalty, some transformation masters, or domestically well-known strong individuals. In short, all were from the upper class.

Du You didn’t even give a glance, directly ordering people to take them away for interrogation. Ordinary interrogation methods were useless because these fellows has transformed themselves beyond recognition, so pain had little effect on them.

But Shaliya had not passed these years in vain; her subordinates had researched quite a few interrogation methods targeted at those monsters of the Dark Empire. As a result, within less than a day, these individuals had all confessed.

Looking at the report in his hands, the weightless worries in Du You’s heart slowly settled.

"It seems we were overly worried; these Divine Spirits use such methods, indicating they still cannot emerge."

"Yes, for the time being we can relax a bit. Moreover, the god of nature and the Dark Empire are not on the same side. According to the situation, since the Dark Empire disrupted the plans of the goddess of nature, she definitely will not allow them to continue existing. So even if we take the offensive, that entity, even if awake, would not oppose our actions."

The report was very clear. This operation was entirely orchestrated by the Quicksand Empire.

The Quicksand Empire sent an elder priest to the Dark Empire and they reached an agreement. Although this elder priest was only fifth-tier, he possessed the power of the Desert Death God, so they dared not act recklessly.

That priest told them, within the territory of the Dark Empire, a powerful force had been hidden which could overturn the entire world. They even had a special method to channel this force, just that they had no control over it. This lack of control was discovered by the Dark Empire when they tried to dominate it, something the Quicksand Empire had not clarified earlier.

They only told the Dark Empire that the Death God informed them, the god of nature had once left a force here. With the power of the Death God, they could slightly control it, and that was the reason they took such actions.

Then, a special shrine was opened, and tens of thousands of these strange creatures appeared. Wrapped in a special power, said to be the Divine Power of the god of nature, ordinary powers could not maintain the existence of these creatures.

Inside that shrine, there were also some murals and text records.

Through these, the Dark Empire knew that this was prepared by the god of nature in the past to deal with the Desert Death God. Originally, it was intended to bind the Desert Death God and release this force to completely destroy the desert.

Once the Sandpeople had completely perished, these creatures would release the natural power they carried and instantly turn the desert into an oasis, thwarting any possibility of the Desert Death God’s revival.

However, what they did not expect was that the Desert Death God would launch a sneak attack in advance, resulting in mutual destruction.

And these contingencies were also sealed inside that shrine and were not released. It was unknown how the Desert Death God knew about these things’ existence; he had even set up some methods within it to allow others some control.

Now that this power had been unleashed, everyone had witnessed the formidable nature of this force.

However, under the overwhelming power of Du You, this force crumbled like clay. Faced with this situation, both the Dark Empire and the Quicksand Empire had completely despaired.

"It’s just that why these monsters keep chasing us relentlessly remains unclear."

"There are only two possibilities now, either the world’s will has perceived our threat, hence controlling these monsters to attack us. Or it’s the god of nature controlling from behind, the purpose unknown."

Du You nodded: "That’s all we can consider." With too few clues, there’s no way to analyze the results, which is unavoidable. The few remaining monsters that had arrived were completely dealt with by Du You and others.

It must be said, the gains from this time were not small. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Yet, two days later, the returnees from the Quicksand Empire brought a shadow to Du You’s heart.

Because out of the twenty sixth-tier soldiers sent to the Quicksand Empire, only nine returned. The other eleven mysteriously disappeared, uncontactable ever again. With the domain’s control over its soldiers, it was most likely they were no longer fortunate.

And those who were brought back were also of no use because they knew nothing. The Quicksand Empire kept its secrets even tighter; even these upper class individuals were completely unaware.

And that ruler of the Quicksand Empire, hiding somewhere unknown, if found, could be captured even if he’s sixth-tier. The current problem was that even these upper class individuals were not clear about where their king was.

Meanwhile, within a hidden underground cavern of the Quicksand Empire, an area had been vastly elaborated. If Du You were here, he would definitely recognize that the prominent statue at the front was indeed a representation of the Desert Death God. The entire statue was lifelike, giving the impression as if alive, akin to a living creature.

In front of the statue, several red, semi-transparent orbs floated in the air. If Shaliya were here, she would undoubtedly recognize, these were the sixth-tier soldiers she had personally sent to capture the upper class of the Quicksand Empire.

"Great Death God, please bestow your divine decree."

The statue’s eyes flashed red, and a voice sounded in the space: "These humans are indeed outer abyssal demons. They are enemies to all Living Beings in our world and must not be allowed to persist."

"Great Death God, why do you not take action personally, those outer abyssal demons are undoubtedly no match for you."

"Are you questioning me?"

"Not at all, not at all, just a bit perplexed. Moreover, our strength is completely no match for theirs."

The priest in front of him hurriedly knelt down, showing his submission and fear with the most respectful etiquette.

After a long time, the voice of the Desert Death God sounded again: "If they dare come near this place, I can still kill them with the power of the desert. The sealing power is too strong, even with cracks, I’m temporarily unable to come out. Now, I give you a task, lure them here. Killing those outer abyssal demons is a great merit, by then, with the power of the world, I can break free."

"I’ll try, ah!" Before finishing, the priest was thrown out.

"I don’t need you to try, you must do it, otherwise, be prepared to endure the agony of Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Heart."
