Dark and profound.

It felt like wandering in the abyss, where time, space, spirit, and matter all dissolved into nothingness.

I really liked this feeling, because this silence meant no disturbances, a complete space for myself — perfect for pondering over all sorts of chaotic ideas, just like those explorations I once did between ’humans and gods’.

And the result was, I won, or rather, the god won.

The other voice within my body hasn’t appeared for a long time, which indicates a significant progress, or rather, the beginning of an era. Indeed, I like to refer to my personal transformation as a change of eras.

Simply because I possess the power to influence this era.

"Are you still there? My brother."

In my heart, I consider myself a newcomer, yet I’m quite polite, toward the predecessors, especially regarding everything the previous owner of this body did, I maintain the due respect. Even though the outcome is decided, showing concern and care for the loser truly demonstrates the victor’s magnanimity, right?

No response...

The other person who once shared this space with me made no sound. I don’t know if he’s dead or just deliberately silent, but I guess it’s probably the former. His power wasn’t as strong as mine, and after being weakened time and again, he might have truly vanished by now.

But, who cares? Aside from that old codger Lin Haifeng, no one cares about the past.

The light before me began to bloom, once again flooding this unknown space with the concepts of time and space. I don’t know how long it’s been, yet it was this silent darkness that nurtured me, and now, leaving it makes me a bit reluctant...

My thoughts slowly returned to reality, and the connection between my soul and body grew tighter. I could feel explosive power slowly arising within me!

The Life and Death Battle Execution took effect once more.

The sensation of power intoxicated me, and then, another thought flashed through my mind.

How did I die, again?

It seemed like...

A Treasure Land Protector, a Level 11 powerful expert...

Yes, this is very important. Every time the Life and Death Battle Execution takes effect, I always feel like I’m missing something. Luckily, those aren’t things worth paying attention to. As long as I know who killed me, I can then seek revenge; the rest will be considered after the battle.

Solve the opponent first, then think about the problems!

So, I moved my fingers, opened my eyes, and saw a pretty decent-looking woman outside. Her face was filled with astonishment and surprise.

Blood began to boil, began to fill every part, and power revived anew. In this moment, I was unprecedentedly strong!

So I smiled at the woman before me: "Darling, the game has only just begun."

...

When Wen Yu and Fran emerged from the dark chamber, the fierce battle raged on in the distance.

Victor and Faceless were entangled with the Four-headed Mountain Giants, and the battle looked...

"A bit unfair."

Fran gave a candid assessment of the confrontation.

Wen Yu, utilizing his Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill, observed the Four-headed Mountain Giant more closely and shook his head after a moment: "Just an empty shell, not as good as my soul creations."

The massive body lacked the agility it should have. At this moment, when facing Faceless and Victor, the Four-headed Mountain Giant appeared clumsy and confused. Its attacks were disorderly and full of openings, and a gigantic gap beneath it allowed the military experts to break through unhindered, subsequently entering the Dimensional Maze.

Upon confirming that Faceless and Victor could easily handle the Mountain Giants, Wen Yu immediately headed towards the Dimensional Maze with Fran.

...

To ensure the possible existence of another Treasure Land Protector, Wen Yu deliberately distanced himself from Fran and once again activated the concealment effect of the Heaven-covering Robe.

With great power ensuring swift passage through the chaotic battlefield, as Wen Yu, concealing his form, passed through the legs of the Mountain Giant, Victor and Faceless cheerfully greeted Wen Yu from above.

It seemed that this battle was quite easy for these two little fellows...

Wen Yu muttered as he issued commands to Faceless: "I’ll enter the Dimensional Maze first, you two hurry up, and Faceless, if I get trapped inside the treasure land, replicate Tang Haofei’s powers to clear all obstacles within the Dimensional Maze!"

"Understood."

The reason for having Faceless replicate Tang Haofei’s power is because Faceless’s replication of Wen Yu was imperfect—after Faceless activated the Soul Battlefield, the applied soul strength wasn’t Wen Yu’s own, but Faceless’s Peak Level 6 soul strength, meaning Faceless cannot utilize Wen Yu’s full power. In this situation, replicating Tang Haofei’s physical condition from the Heavenly Palace period allows for stronger combat capabilities.

Indeed, Wen Yu currently possessed only Tang Haofei’s blood from the Heavenly Palace period. Ever since leaving the Heavenly Palace, Wen Yu had repeatedly requested Tang Haofei’s body tissues, but was constantly refused by Tang Haofei.

There’s no need to express the precautionary mindset.

After issuing the order to Faceless, Wen Yu once again cast a layer of concealment on himself. After confirming his form wasn’t exposed, he swiftly walked through the massive gap between the Mountain Giant’s legs and entered the Dimensional Maze swiftly.

The dizziness of teleportation flickered through.

Upon entering the Dimensional Maze, Wen Yu’s first sight was the corpses of several Demon Tribe members not far away.

"Hmm, seems there’s no second Treasure Land Protector..."

A simple judgment.

For others, the Dimensional Maze is undoubtedly a Danger Ground, but for Wen Yu, entering the Dimensional Maze instead significantly increases safety — the Dimensional Maze was constructed in imitation of a treasure land, meaning its spatial properties repel against the treasure land. At least, Wen Yu had never heard of two treasure lands overlapping one another.

Taking a quick look at the surrounding environment, Wen Yu immediately took out a watch that Bai left for him from the space ring. He glanced at the hands on it while sending a spiritual fluctuation toward Cyclops in his mind.

"I’m in, where are you..."

Yet... there was no sound...

The messages from the Soul Connection vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.

"No response, meaning danger came too swiftly, leaving no time to send any message to me. The Soul Connection still exists, but there’s no strong emotional pain, suggesting the body wasn’t significantly harmed, so Cyclops must be under an Illusion Technique, eh..."

"Hmm..."

Wen Yu stroked his chin, looked at the watch hands once more, then grinned broadly, sneering.

"An Illusion Technique... This could be interesting..."

Low-level illusions affect the perception of the five senses, while high-level illusions directly target the soul.

Wen Yu really wanted to see if anyone at this level could match his soul strength.
