“Calm down. Tell me, what wrong with Monarch Mo Xue?” Xue Ying quickly discovered that his wife’s current state of mind was in disarray, which was very rare to see in a stage four World Deity like her fall.
Jing Qiu tried her best to regain her calm, and before long, her voice showed no more than a slight tremble. “This is what happened: the avatar my father left behind to protect his empire suffered from a joint attack and it’s already killed.”
“What!” Xue Ying was instantly shaken. “Someone killed the avatar he left behind to protect the empire? Even though his combat power is strong enough to allow him to fight powerful existences and he was attacked inside of his own territory, he was still unable to escape with his life. He was actually killed?”
“Mn.” Jing Qiu nodded. “A group of five people acted against him. Three of them were powerful existences, and the other were powerful stage four World Deities. They are the Prison Dragon Emperor, Old Mother Withered Tree, the Nine Yang Palace Head, the Red Transient Empress and Sovereign Ze Nuo.”
Xue Ying’s expression changed further the more he heard. “Father-in-law actually offended so many powerful experts in a way that caused them to team up against him? To think that there would even be people from the Dark Abyss in that group.”
Amongst the five people Jing Qiu mentioned, the Red Transient Empress and Sovereign Ze Nuo were the only two stage four World Deities!
However, Sovereign Ze Nuo was a Magma Giant from the Dark Abyss, and his combat power was rather terrifying. It was a fact that experts from the Dark Abyss and Deity world would very rarely interact, since many of the World Deities who dared to barge into the Dark Abyss would be hunted down and killed. It was only the powerful existences and people at their level of combat power that would more frequently act together, teaming up for adventures in ancient ruins.
When it came to existences on the level of the Bloodshed God Emperor, even the Abyss Rulers would be willing to befriend them. The Bloodshed God Emperor’s Bloodshed Tavern had been able to to cover the entire Dark Abyss just as easily as the Deity world.
“The Prison Dragon Emperor and Old Mother Withered Tree are no big deal, but the Nine Yang Palace Head is one of the Temporal Island Lord’s personal disciples, and he’s cultivating an absolute art. His combat power has reached an incredible level, and he’s comparable to the three ancestors in strength,” Xue Ying said. “He actually disregarded his reputation completely and joined a five-on-one attack on father-in-law?”
Jing Qiu lightly nodded.
“What about father-in-law’s other body?” Xue Ying asked.
“It is still safe for the moment.” Jing Qiu felt uneasy.
Xue Ying let out a sigh of relief before continuing with another question, “Do you know why the five acted together against father-in-law?”
“Father knew that I had already become a stage four World Deity and that you reached stage two in just five thousand years, as well as the fact that you’d been accepted by the Bloodshed God Emperor as a personal disciple,” Jing Qiu began explaining. “As such, he was able to finally relax. Well aware that his True Deity Heart was on the verge of collapse, he decided to take a risk before going on to reincarnate, so he entered a dangerous and ancient land known as the Lake Heart Island to have a look.”
Xue Ying lightly nodded.
The danger posed by any of the ancient ruins which managed to resist up until that day varied greatly. For example, the ruins which Monarch Cang Yong previously discovered had been on the lower end on this scale. Meanwhile, the Lake Heart Island was one of the most famous locations even amongst powerful existences and stage four World Deities! This was such an extremely terrifying location that even His Majesty, the Temporal Island Lord, and other such existences were hardly able to understand it in its entirety.
Over the many years, there had been a great amount of stage four World Deities as well as several powerful existences who went there adventure, one after another.
Naturally, most would only send their avatar inside. By doing so, they could simply recreate the avatar even if it were to perish inside!
The ruins of the Lake Heart Island were peculiar in a few different ways.
For instance, it displayed some self-contained laws. The laws on the Lake Heart Island were unique to it, so it was not subject to the normal operation of the laws of the Deity world.
“My father had been moving together with Nine Yang Palace Head, the Prison Dragon Emperor and the others at first,” Jing Qiu continued. “At some point, however, my father actually discovered a true god weapon. He grabbed it immediately and went on to escape, with the Nine Yang Palace Head and the others following closely behind. It is well-known that the Lake Heart Island is littered with danger, and my father actually ended up entered one of the maelstroms inside, which trapped him in a deep recess within the ruins. However, this fact had also served to let him break free of his pursuers—from Nine Yang Palace Head and the others, at least temporarily. The five even teamed up to eliminate father’s avatar, and the self-formed system within the Lake Heart Island means that, while father is trapped inside, he is unable to even go on and reincarnate. At the moment, those five are chasing after father inside the ruins.”
Xue Ying lightly nodded.
The Lake Heart Island operated under its own laws, which meant it was completely isolated from the external world! And it was not just the Deity world; neither the laws of the material world, nor those of the Dark Abyss could affect it in any way. As such, it was impossible to reincarnate from within the ruins of the Lake Heart Island, since the soul would be trapped within!
“Father told me that the chances of recovering his memories after becoming a Deity would be very low even if he were to reincarnate. He said he’s already lived long enough, which is why he decided to risk his life for a chance to acquire the true god weapon,” Jing Qiu said in a low voice. “He already sent me the location where he hid the weapon. It’s in a very deep area inside the ruins. Father is still on the run, since the others know that he did carry the weapon with him, at least for a while. However, even if Nine Yang Palace Head and the others manage to reach him, it’s impossible for them to get it.”
Jing Qiu’s voice was soft, and her eyes had taken on a red tint.
Xue Ying sighed inwardly.
