"The energy of this Secret Realm’s Door is almost at its limit. The more people you send in, the more energy is consud, and it will close faster."
Hearing this, Lin Chen imdiately asked, "What if I go in alone?"
Water God Alice replied, "If you go in alone, the door can hold for two more days, there shouldn’t be a problem."
Lin Chen calculated the ti. It was half a day’s distance from the exit, and the door could support for two days. As long as he could rescue soone, he could use Starry Sky Jumping to instantly return to the Vortex Gate entrance.
The ti was sufficient.
Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "I beg the Water God Alice’s permission to allow to enter the Secret Realm to rescue people. Whether I succeed or not, I will return within two days."
Water God Alice reminded, "Although you have the Starry Sky Jumping Divine Ability, the thods of the Heavenly Demons are eerie and unpredictable. There are those who can even restrain the Starry Sky Jumping. Many have gone in and suffered losses; going in alone to rescue soone might lead you to fall into a trap."
"We cannot enter the Outer Domain to rescue due to our oath. If sothing happens to you, there will be no one to save you, so consider carefully."
Lin Chen replied, "I have thought it through, and I will be careful."
Water God Alice’s eyes revealed a look of appreciation: "Very well, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you anymore. Go ahead. Within two days, this door will remain open, and regardless of whether you succeed in rescuing soone, you must return; otherwise, if you wait for it to recharge and open again, it could take countless years."
Lin Chen nodded, "Understood, thank you for the reminder."
Lin Chen turned to give two brief commands to the Fire God Guards behind him before taking to the skies, heading towards the Vortex Gate, and soon disappeared within it.
The twenty Fire God Guards watched Lin Chen’s retreating figure, their eyes now filled with undisguised reverence.
As the envoy leader of this group, Lin Chen, who is from a different race, initially did not command complete respect from the Fire God Guards, just like from Ding Wujian and others.
However, Lin Chen’s performance at this gathering had made them respect him.
If they were the envoys, to what extent would they have managed?
Would they have been able to earn the attention and reverence of the Heaven Deities, to succeed in Water God Alice’s ga, and to enter a dangerous Secret Realm alone to save people?
Ding Wujian and their group of ten were trapped despite their combined efforts, unable to escape, yet Lin Chen went without the slightest hesitation.
Impressive!
Regardless of whether he can save anyone, his courage, commitnt, and sense of responsibility are worthy of admiration!
Suddenly, everyone felt that Lin Chen, as the envoy and their leader, might not be such an unwelco idea after all.
The Netherworld God glanced around, asking, "Tell us about what’s inside. With so many casualties, was there any gain?"
Water God Alice smiled, "Yes, everyone, share your experiences. Rest assured, your gains are your own, and no one will take them."
God of Space Feng Xiang added, "You all acted in separate teams, right? Let’s hear about your encounters over these three months."
The survivors from the six teams each elected a representative to recount their exploration of the Secret Realm.
While the exploration processes were largely similar, three groups ntioned one particular place.
The dwelling of the Heavenly Demons.
In this Secret Realm, the Heavenly Demons primarily gathered in one area. Three teams managed to locate it, but they were discovered before entering, forcing them to flee in embarrassnt.
All three groups ntioned that the dwelling had powerful spiritual energy waves, indicating strong artifacts or powerful beings within.
Though they wished to investigate, the number of heavenly demons was overwhelming; with only ten saints per team, they dared not enter.
If they ventured deeper, they feared complete annihilation.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s interest was piqued.
"What do you think is inside? Strong heavenly demons, or so powerful artifacts?"
Netherworld God speculated, "Perhaps strong heavenly demons. A leading figure is essential to keep a tribal system among heavenly demons, or others cannot be suppressed to form such a gathering."
"As for artifacts, it’s possible, but the heavenly demons primarily rely on their strength in battle, not on crafting magical treasures. So, I think artifacts are less likely."
Wood God asked, "Should we find a way to explore it?"
Water God Alice shook her head, "It’s too late. The energy of my Secret Realm Key is nearly exhausted, we can’t enter. Organizing an entry team would require a large force to defeat those beings, but such numbers would deplete the Secret Realm Key’s energy twice as fast, and the door might shut imdiately upon entrance."
"Even if they achieve victory and retrieve whatever is there, they might not be able to bring it back."
Ti God Gu Li inquired, "How long will it take for the door to recharge?"
Water God Alice answered, "The array formation on this thing is strange; it can’t be manually infused with spiritual power. It must absorb it slowly on its own, and this process isn’t quick. To fully recover takes at least a hundred years."
Ti God Gu Li frowned, "Then there’s nothing we can do. Knowing of this place, we can organize a team next ti to explore directly."
Water God Alice replied, "That’s possible, eliminating exploration of other areas. Focusing on this place allows a greater number of teams to enter."
Golden God laughed, "Several hundred years later, that’s the future. But from what they’ve said, although there were significant casualties, they’ve also obtained many valuable things. It’s because the Heavenly Demons and our cultivation thods differ; otherwise, why would they leave these treasures for us?"
Wood God nodded, "Indeed, the Outer Domain holds many treasures. Heavenly Demons occupy it, but they can’t utilize it. It’s a pity we signed a contract with them; otherwise, we could have scoured the Outer Domain and claid countless treasures."
Space God Feng Xiang laughed, "We can still occasionally open a passage to the Outer Domain, and many can go. However, to gain, one must give; just like us. Though Heavenly Demons are trivial, so Heavenly Demon Venerables are equally powerful."
Ti God Gu Li lanted, "Yes, we thought we controlled the Dao and were the strongest in the universe, but suddenly encountered such strange beings and were eventually forced into a contract. Thinking back, how embarrassing..."
