Chapter 498

Cole was quickly revived and brought to the main command center.

"… That's definitely not an ordinary group of wandering monsters. They have a consciousness and are organized." Cole recounted the situation he encountered in detail. His mental state seemed to be fine. No matter what, at least he was still alive. "The Level 4 monsters are not like the ones we discovered before. They only have an instinctive body and energy attack ability. Their weapons and tactics are systematic."

The screen repeatedly played the scene of the giant sword slashing the Kara Plane and the disintegration of the Cole Ship. Cole pointed to the last scene before he committed suicide and said, "It locked onto both the macroscopic and the microscopic at the same time. This sword has already penetrated the barrier of consciousness and matter. It was too fast and too sudden. We have no way to escape."

"If there's nothing else, I hope that I can withdraw from the war against the cataclysm and return to the Mage World." Cole was a little depressed. The destruction of the starship fleet was a huge blow to him. It meant that most of the resources he had accumulated over the years after he became a Hyperdimensional Mage were gone. The subsequent resurrection and compensation for the war mage would also take a huge cut from his little remaining wealth.

He was almost bankrupt.

To him and all the other independent mages, besides obtaining a more free life than the mages of the Holy Tower, they also had very little room for error. If the Holy Tower fleet was destroyed this time, the council would bear most of the cost of rebuilding and compensation, but he could only bear the responsibility himself.

The few True Souls agreed to his request. After he left, the battle staff drew a map. The map connected Xin Yati to the destroyed plane, and the closest plane to the Demon Suppression Abyss. The lines were very clear.

"The destroyed armies and realms, including the one that Cole Wallace was in, were all ordinary small realms that had been selected recently. From the planning of the command center to the time and place of the armies' deployment, there was no pattern to speak of. It was just the most common deployment of battle zones." Adam said, "First of all, we can eliminate the possibility that the enemy has grasped our pattern and responded to it."

"But there's still something suspicious," Wendy said.

"Indeed. Previously, we thought that the demons in the cataclysm had escaped after the seal of the Demon Sealing Abyss was loosened, so they shouldn't appear in such a random direction. But now, it seems like they're hiding in the cataclysm. The most suspicious thing is that we've passed by these coordinates more than once, but we've never been attacked. Why would such a strong enemy appear at this time? I can only think of one person. "

Naeem said, "You are a Dao Yuan?"

"Yes, he is the one who is most likely to harm us and has the ability to do so. Now that I think about it, the attitude he displayed wasn't quite in line with what Empyrean Myriad Forms said about his pursuit of the Immortal Dao. " Adam said thoughtfully, "Celestial Lord Wanxiang said that he was the representative of Dao within himself. Since he had reached the final stage of daring to try to ascend, his need for external objects should be close to zero. But why was he so obsessed with his left arm? Could it be that he wanted to do something for the immortal civilization before he ascended? But that doesn't make sense. If that's the case, what difference does it make whether he does it or we do it? "

"The Demon Sealing Abyss is there, and so is the body part of the Void lifeform. He didn't do it for countless years, but after the Sorcerer came to unseal the Demon Sealing Abyss, he came to stop it. I can only think that he needs these body parts to prevent the immortals, or rather, to prevent anyone other than himself from obtaining them."

"If that's the case, his so-called ascension might not be as simple as it seems. His purpose in inviting you Holiness isn't that simple either."

Ever since the destruction of the legions, Xin Yati's vigilance had been raised to a whole new level. All the emissary groups from the other planes were forcibly confined to the emissary's area, and were not allowed to leave. Reinforcements and recruitment efforts had also come to a standstill. The same was true for the emissary groups from the immortal civilization.

This was the first time Adam had seen Empyrean Myriad Forms and Cong Zhen in more than ten years, but they were all long-lived species, so they didn't take this little bit of time to heart. Adam directly played the image brought back by Cole, pointed at the demon army and the sword, and asked, "Do you know where they came from?"

Cong Zhen's expression changed. "Where did you find them?"

Adam thought to himself that it was indeed related to the immortal civilization. "In many places, the Sorcerer Corps suffered heavy losses because of this."

Wan Xiang signaled for his daughter to shut up, then said, "They look like real extraterrestrial demons."

Extraterrestrial demons — if Wan Xiang hadn't mentioned it again, Adam would have almost forgotten this term. Previously, he thought that all demons were called this, but now it seemed that Wan Xiang's meaning was different.

Wan Xiang had no intention of hiding anything, and slowly revealed an ancient secret.

The original words were very long, but Adam's summary was that when the Taichu Heavenly Lord was first born, other high-level lifeforms were born with him. As for whether they were demonic thoughts or demonic bodies, no one knew except for the Taichu Heavenly Lord himself, but they were extremely strong, and there were many of them.

They caused great damage to the Taichu Heavenly Lord, and the Taichu Heavenly Lord paid a great price to defeat them. However, he only killed a few of them, and most of them were expelled.

Over the years, they would counterattack the Immortal World every once in a while, and the Immortal World would also organize expeditionary forces to suppress the extraterrestrial demons. However, both sides were evenly matched, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Later on, the extraterrestrial demons went into hiding, and the Immortal World was sealed off. This was also the reason why the Immortals were initially against the Sorcerer civilization.

"However, I've never seen this one before," Wan Xiang said. "He doesn't look as strong as a real extraterrestrial demon, or else your people wouldn't have had the chance to be revived. However, he really does look like a real extraterrestrial demon."

Adam asked, "Extraterrestrial demons have intelligence?"

Wan Xiang nodded. "Extremely high intelligence, and their foundation is even better than ours. They're on par with the Great Heavenly Lords."

The conversation was transmitted back to the command center. Adam calculated where the extraterrestrial demons might be hiding based on the areas of the cataclysm that had been explored by the exploration robots. He said, "What's the relationship between the extraterrestrial demons and the Demon Sealing Abyss?"

"First there were the Extraterrestrial Demons, then there was the Demon Sealing Abyss. They have no interest in the Demon Sealing Abyss, and it seems that they only want to destroy us and the Great Heavenly Lords."

Adam raised his head and looked straight into her eyes. "Have you ever wondered why Heavenly Lord Daoyuan would suddenly propose ascension at this time, right after we arrived at the cataclysm?"

Wan Xiang's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

"What's his goal in choosing this time? I know that you people pursue enlightenment, and there's the saying of epiphany, but I don't believe that at his level, this kind of breakthrough will happen suddenly … "
