Because he didn’t find any "door" in the latter half of the Duolu River.
Perhaps it was because it was damaged, or maybe due to other unknown reasons... Whatever the reason, Lord Divine’s painstaking search for the "Netherworld King Relics" ended in a dead end here...
He didn’t take the ashes from the wooden niche.
The Red-armored Knight ignited the wooden niche again with a strand of Spirit, burning the Light Aura embers within the ashes.
At the foot of Black Snow Mountain, he forcefully crushed the intense flas.
Jia Wei summoned the Holy Judges and declared the end of the investigation, "The journey to the Disaster Realm... ends here."
"Next, return to Central City."
...
...
The Holy Judges’ investigation in the North Continent attracted much attention.
The nobility of Central City, at the Underground Research Institute’s banquet, received the Holy Judges’ "abrupt greeting."
This incident has fernted in the deep water area these days.
The North Continent Transcendents are genuinely disgusted and angry at the arrival of the "Holy Judges."
Her Majesty the Empress won a victory.
These people, under the guise of "celebration," were actually investigating a case, undoubtedly suspecting that soone in the North Continent had obliterated the Blessed Son of Light City.
In their view... the so-called Blessed Son was actually an ingrate, and as the Northern Continent Duke, he violated the iron law, backstabbed his comrades, sabotaged missions, and ought to appear before the Extraordinary Court, but it just so happened to et the shockwave brought by the "traveller," dying in the Duolu River. Such an affair, by no ans, should the North Continent "take the bla."
Thus, Jia Wei’s act of investigating quickly drew nurous insults within the deep water area in just a few days!
The pressure on the Holy Judges’ investigation increased once more.
After leaving the "Duolu River," Jia Wei imdiately received "concerned greetings" from the dignitaries of Light City, with questions along the lines of whether the Holy Judges found any belongings of the Blessed Son, or any evidence substantiating the murder by the North Continent, and so on...
But unfortunately.
When he fed back this fruitless "investigation result," those concerned dignitaries felt unanimously disappointed.
Even Jia Wei himself began to doubt.
Is there still a need to carry on with the investigation of the Blessed Son’s case files?
No remains, no artifacts, not even the slightest trace of Light Aura, everything has vanished in the Black River... Even if Lord Divine ca in person, probably no evidence could be found...
Actually, the subsequent "investigation" can still proceed, for Light City still has a long list of nas.
Nas of those Transcendents who were "closely associated" with ng Xiao.
Visiting them one by one might still yield breakthroughs.
However... the resistance the Holy Judges face in the North Continent is growing increasingly large.
Just as Jia Wei was caught in the quagmire, his Spirit Sea received a crucial guidance ssage.
This ssage ca from the temple of Light City.
The Blessed Son, along with his followers, stepping into the Duolu River Disaster Realm, summoning the Light God, was the temple’s plan.
If traced further back—
Then several years ago, ng Xiao, as the only son of Duke Zhen Yue, traveled to the North Continent to inherit his father’s title, family business, and power... was also arranged by the temple, if the Holy Judges are Lord Divine’s hands, then the temple is the eyes, the will of Lord Divine.
The light of the temple can fall on every corner of the Five Continents.
"Among the relics inherited by ng Xiao from the forr Duke Zhen Yue, there is a ’wristband,’ an extrely important ’seal item’ for Light City."
The temple’s guidance was simple.
"Jia Wei, within close proximity, you only need to activate the Bright Armor and vigorously stir up the Light Aura, then you can sense the presence of that wristband... Visit the nas on the list one by one, as long as you find the ’wristband,’ you find the murderer of ng Xiao."
