Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 954: Chapter 454: You Celebrated Too Soon

As the team delved deeper into the ancient ruins, Li Ye also saw the Jile Subsidiary.

It was a mountain fortress group located deep within the ancient ruins.

This also increased the defensive power of the Jile Subsidiary by several levels.

If any invader wants to attack the Jile Subsidiary, they must traverse the ruins, where recorded champions from history appear to obstruct enemies.

In such circumstances, the subsidiary is hard to be conquered.

After all, even Captain Yang Chen has been recorded. If attacked, a residual sound avatar of a champion might very well appear.

Gathering all of Ye Boshou’s fighting power to strongly attack the subsidiary is unwise.

Or rather, the more people there are, the more dangerous it becomes. Unless its energy is entirely exhausted, it’s all a wasted effort.

“This technology is truly wonderful,” Li Yelai mused. “Is it indigenous technology?”

This is indeed a marvel. If the Human Giant City possessed such marvelous technology, the city’s defensive power would greatly increase.

Simultaneously, it could offer processors relatively safe real combat targets.

“Indeed, sir.”

“The reason this mysterious space appears is due to the collision and devouring of two Disaster Fogs.”

“The two civilizations residing within the Disaster Fog waged a prolonged war here, resulting in mutual destruction. Concurrently, they formed a space somewhat akin to a Forbidden Zone. While humans trapped here by the Disaster Fog accidentally absorbed parts of the legacies of both civilizations, momentarily becoming quite powerful and establishing a magnificent civilization.” The male Demon General introduced to Li Yelai: “Look at these buildings, you can foresee the splendor of that civilization.”

He spoke, pointing to a massive Black Stone Tower.

The mysterious black stone material forged this towering edifice, a strange power is diffusing within the Black Tower.

Shielding all relics.

It is indeed mysterious.

This also made Li Yelai feel regretful. If that human civilization could have survived and maintained till now over a long stretch of time…

The Human Giant City now would obtain great assistance.

Especially, this space far surpasses the development space of a single Giant City by multiple times.

Currently, this space houses a population of just around a million.

This, even amidst mutual attacks from several states and harm from extraordinary creatures.

If distributed more reasonably and scientifically, the population in this space would exceed any Giant City.

Regrettably, such a treasure vault of space has been tainted by Chaos.

Among that rapidly rising civilization, appeared Jile’s believers.

They initiated a grand-scale rebellion, which was suppressed by the human civilization. However, it allowed a complete form Heartless Fruit to grow.

The danger of the Heartless Fruit needs no elaboration. That civilization was rapidly declining.

And its leaders made the most rational and cold decision.

They partitioned the space, resulting in today’s second and third layers.

And left uninfected Flames in the second layer.

While they started their final revolt in the third layer.

From a certain perspective, this method worked. The Flames sent to the second layer slowly proliferated and thrived, human civilization reemerged.

At the same time, their self-destructive revolt almost eradicated the Heartless Fruit.

Regrettably, with the emergence of Spiritual Ability Users in the new human civilization, new Chaos believers arose.

Consequently, the Jile Sect was the first to discover this place.

The Jile Sect infiltrated the Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, salvaged the Heartless Fruit, and using former civilization’s technology, rapidly restored it.

They view the Ten Thousand Dragon Lake as a private garden, awaiting the Heartless Fruit to mature into its complete form, then they will spread it to the Physical World.

Until Champion Team One accidentally discovered this place…

One misstep.

That civilization was close to completely overcoming Jile and the Heartless Fruit, just a step away.

Unfortunately, one misstep equals total defeat.

Their civilization’s legacy was acquired by Jile; the people they protected became material and personnel for the Jile Sect; the folded space they opened became a garden for the Jile Sect.

This is the danger of Chaos…

Li Yelai pondered as the female Demon General beside him explained: “That civilization was once powerful and glorious, yet now, their legacy is entirely ours. Naturally, it’s also yours… Now, allow us to introduce to you all that you possess.”

Li Yelai sensed that upon seeing the subsidiary, the two Demon Generals seemed much more relaxed.

Why? Do they feel that in the subsidiary, they can’t possibly be chosen as the Blood God Chosen One? Or is there an even stronger trump card and tactics within the subsidiary?

With this thought in mind, Li Yelai responded blandly: “Very well, I am looking forward to it.”

He indeed looked forward to the Jile Sect’s Treasure Vault.

It is time for the legacy of the former civilization to return to humans.

Soon, the group arrived at the subsidiary.

It was a luxurious palace, guarded by dozens of mountain fortresses, presenting an eerie sense of opulence.

Its steps were paved with colorful black stones, each glittering with a dark luster.

When Li Yelai stepped onto the steps, the sound of long boots touching the steps was surprisingly crisp and pleasant to hear.

When several approached the palace gates, the successive sounds transformed into a beautiful melody.

This put Lan Shi’s various subordinates in a daze in place, seemingly affected by the melody, immersed in it.

What the sound showed them is unknown.
