”...” The vast nothingness carried a dense aura of killing intent, the words from Ezekiel's condition emanated a powerful force similar to an Imperial Decree.

Yan Zaizen felt his mind tremble as a world permeating with blood and death abruptly surfaced within his field of vision. It was faintly illusory but felt remarkably real.

Ezekiel's beautifully silver eyes radiated a chilling light. This light seemed to contain untold grievances and hatred. It was indescribable.

However, those eyes weren't unfamiliar to him. Those eyes were his on more than one occasion. When he saw Wu Yuanxu die, forced to enter chaotic space, and left to die with no visible way to escape. The thought of the Xuanwu City Lord was embedded deep into his heart.

Then, Lady Diyi. She had sent him to die as a slave in a dark hole as a nobody over something completely out of his control. As his awareness grew of his fate, so did his hatred.

He rubbed the compass in his hand with his thumb. It felt smooth and radiated profound secrets. However, he didn't hesitate. With a toss, he sent it to Ezekiel.

”I agree to your condition. Not only because of my own desire to return home, but because I owe you.” His words were softly spoken but contained a powerful reverberation.

Ezekiel caught the compass, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. The clearest one being sorrow and regret. He looked at Yan Zaizen for a long while.

The last words Yan Zaizen spoke was said sincerely with earnest. If Ezekiel hadn't appeared in his life, his current life wouldn't exist. Disregarding Ezekiel's ill-intentions, Yan Zaizen did owe him for everything he had. If he could, he would like to close off this karma.

Ezekiel seemed to understand. Yan Zaizen cultivated his herculean method, had the life and death regalia, and a vast amount of resources that would make lower-tier heavenly tier forces war to the last, it was only natural that Yan Zaizen felt some sense of thanks.

He slightly nodded in return. Yan Zaizen may not know it, but being devoured offered an extraordinary benefit to his cultivation and personal insights, especially towards the soul. Therefore, he felt a tinge of gratitude. Only a tinge.

”Ready yourself,” keeping his blade, he held the compass. His body quaked visibly, a wisp of silver light emerged from his glabella and entered the compass. The compass that had six directional arrows suddenly glowed with resplendent light. This light felt like space itself was being pushed away and contorted.

A directional arrow, the missing double-headed arrow, manifested from this wisp. No longer did the compass seem as if it was missing two directions, completely pointing towards the eight directions.

Yan Zaizen's eyes shined with interest. He kept Sky Shatter and observed. ”It seems the functionality of the compass was incomplete…” Yan Zaizen calmly speculated. Ezekiel likely contained the method to utilize the compass in full, but others would likely be unable to do so.

In hindsight, he was thankful that he didn't use the compass. The uncomfortable feeling in his heart whenever an opportunity presented itself, like in the sub-realm collapse event, was rightfully followed. It's likely that the missing arrow could've led to countless complications.

The compass flickered with silver light effusing extraordinary spatial laws. An image shone outwards, within this projection was three orbs. When Yan Zaizen saw these three orbs, his brows furrowed. These orbs were like planets, but they were stacked on top of each other like blocks to a pillar.

”The three heavens are partial Earths, constructed and stabilized by a profound formation. Thirty-Three Heavens, Heavenly Pillars, Heavenly Clusters, Central Heaven, and Central Hell. This is our world.” Ezekiel explained, his gaze profound and soft. It was as if he was explaining the ocean, the seas, and the mountains.

”The Eleven Pillars connects the thirty-three heavens as one, each composed of three heavens called Heavenly Clusters. The 7th Heaven, 17th Heaven, and 27th Heaven comprise the 7th Cluster, known as the Lucky Link Cluster. The Central Heaven is the core area, the source of the thirty-three heavens, while the Central Hell…” Ezekiel paused slightly, but even though it seemed he wished to continue, he didn't.
