The war that took place outside the Northern Wilderness Hills spread like a storm to every corner of the Great Thousand World over the next few days. As a result, the whole Great Thousand World was shocked and appalled.

The terrible war in ancient times recorded in many records and scrolls seemed like a distant memory to the beings of the present world. Therefore, the vast majority of the world's beings were unfamiliar with the horrifying invaders that were the Extraterritorial Race. However, when that unfamiliarity was torn apart, the horror of the Extraterritorial Race caused everyone to clearly perceive that it was a force terrible enough to take over the world and enslave countless beings.

The battle in the Northern Wilderness Hills was enough to make all beings understand the strength of the Extraterritorial Race. Even the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor could only force the legendary Heavenly Evil Deity to retreat.

Five years from now, the Heavenly Evil Deity would possess unspeakable power, and it would possibly be the day of the Great Thousand World's extinction. At the thought of that day, all the beings of the world experienced a heartfelt shudder.

The whole Great Thousand World was overwhelmed by panic and fear at this moment. However, the turmoil did not spread long before it was suppressed. The world's top superpowers, represented by the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border, once again gathered together to form a grand alliance.

The Great Thousand World Alliance called on sovereigns that were Earthly Sovereigns and above from all over the world to gather at the junction where the Great Thousand World and Demons' Domain intersected. The goal was to launch a strong counterattack first to guard the Great Thousand World.

Countless sovereigns began to rush to the junction. The fear brought about by the world's impending extinction began to inspire courage in countless beings. Instead of waiting for death without doing anything, they felt it would be better to take the initiative to attack. That way, they might also be able to win a glimmer of life for the world.

If they had to die anyway, it was better to die a worthy death. Holding onto this idea, in less than a month's time, there were countless sovereigns at the junction of the Great Thousand World and Demons' Domain. They formed a vast army with tremendous majesty and fluctuating spiritual energy that spanned tens of thousands of miles.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor appeared amid the army, their figures giving countless sovereigns in the world infinite confidence. At that time, they were undoubtedly the leaders of the Great Thousand World.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at the evil spirits surging in the dark depths of Demons' Domain. However, they remained composed. With a wave of their palms, their calm voices reverberated in the heavens and earth. ”Attack.”

As countless powerful sovereigns swarmed into the Demons' Domain, Mu Chen, led by the Undying Lord, came to the deepest part of the Northern Wilderness Hills. In the deep abyss, he saw huge mottled ancient chains covered with strange runes. Now, however, those chains had been broken down as if they had been torn apart by some terrible beast.

The Undying Lord looked at the broken chains, and his wizened face could not help but twitch. His voice was filled with discontent. ”This was where the Heavenly Evil Deity had been sealed before.”

After all, the 49,000 years of their Gravekeepers' hard work had been about to completely wipe out the Heavenly Evil Deity. No one thought that at this crucial moment, he would escape again.

Mu Chen had nothing to say about it, and he could only blame the depth of the Heavenly Evil Deity's scheming. Before he was sealed, he had anticipated everything and had begun to prepare a way to break the seal and escape.

The Undying Lord also knew that whatever he could say would have no effect. With a bitter smile, he then stepped forward toward the abyss and finally came to the end of it. There, an elevated platform appeared with stone steps extending down to their feet. The Undying Lord looked gravely at the steps, and then, in a pilgrimage, went up the steps respectfully. Mu Chen followed closely behind a total of 9,990 stone steps. As he stepped up the last stone step, an altar appeared. Mu Chen's glance quickly focused at the center of the altar.

There was a stone platform underneath a cattail hassock stone shimmering with spiritual light upon which a white-robed figure quietly sat. He had a slender body and was slightly thin. His long hair was slightly mussed, but his features were full of charm. However, his eyes were, regretfully, closed. That pair of eyes should have been as bright as the starry river.
