Unlike Wang Zhong, who had entered this secret realm from the lake, Grai's entry point was in a mountain range. It was supposed to be a very secretive operation, but his enemies had completely seen through him. His team had been ambushed by hundreds of Octopus Great Swordsmen, and his comrades had all been killed or injured. Only he, a man, and a woman were left. They were forced into a narrow space in the mountain range and eventually fell into a crack.
That dimensional crack was abnormally unstable. Before his female comrade could even fall into this secret realm, she had already been swept away by the spatial turbulence within the dimensional crack. Only one comrade fell in with him, and after that, he felt the frantic absorption of soul power in this world.
The two of them tried their best not to use any Soul Power, but his comrade did not last for too long. He had only walked about 20 to 30 kilometers before he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness. Very quickly, his Soul Power was completely absorbed and turned into a mummy.
At that moment, Grai knew that this would be the place where he would die.
When he knew this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Between his benefactor and his family, he had chosen his family, but he had been forced to betray his benefactor. Grai could not forgive himself. He wanted to die, but he could not simply choose suicide.
Every person who had pure blood in the Blood Race had the blood of their ancestors flowing in their bodies. The Blood Race viewed them as the continuation of their ancestors' lives. Thus, from the moment they were born, they were not simply living for themselves. Instead, they were living with the ancestors of the Blood Race in their bodies. Harming themselves was equivalent to harming the ancestors of the Blood Race. This was a great disrespect and taboo. It was the most serious form of betrayal to the entire race! If they chose to commit suicide, even if they died, their souls would not be redeemed. They would no longer be able to face the ancestors of the Blood Race and their race in the afterlife.
This obsession was deeply ingrained in the bones of every member of the Blood Race. They could not go against their bodies under any circumstances. As a member of the Blood Race, unless they died of old age, even if they had to die, they could only die on the battlefield.
Thus, he chose to come to the frontlines base and sign up for the vanguard. He followed a group of comrades and charged into the most dangerous areas on the frontlines. Every time, he would be at the very front. However, it was precisely because of this unusual bravery that the Octopus people he faced would always be afraid. Then, due to a freak combination of factors, he managed to survive. In fact, even the overall survival rate of the vanguard that he was in had increased … Grai was also very speechless. He wanted to fight with all his might and then die, but he could not die every single time. Perhaps only those who had personally experienced this would understand this kind of helplessness and sourness.
Now, it was all good. He did not even need to fight anymore. Grai's knowledge was rather profound. He was different from Wang Zhong's life of wandering around aimlessly all day. He had benefited from Grai's experience in the library in the Federation and the Holy Land. Thus, he had a good understanding of the fragment world, which was not useful to Heroic Souls.
This allowed Grai to quickly confirm that he was in a fragment world that was on the verge of destruction. In this kind of place, one could only enter and not leave. With his mere Heroic Soul, it was impossible for him to recover the so-called fragment world Will. It was also impossible for anyone to save him. This place would eventually become his grave.
Although he was much stronger than his comrade, he was in this place and would die anyway. Thus, Grai did not care about the consumption of time. He did not even deliberately resist the absorption of Soul Power by this world. After burying his comrade's corpse, he continued to move forward.
He did not have any destination in mind. He simply followed his instincts and searched for a direction. There seemed to be something strange in that direction, and it was guiding him in his consciousness. This made him want to find out what was going on before he died and resolve the doubts in his heart.
Thus, he persevered. The closer he got to that place, the softer the absorption of Soul Power in this world seemed to become. However, the degree of reduction was extremely limited, and the continuous consumption of Soul Power quickly made him weak. The Soul Power in his body had long been sucked dry. However, unlike ordinary humans, Grai's bloodline had an abnormally powerful energy that could further sustain this consumption.
This allowed him to walk further and further until he saw the castle that was buried in the bones.
So that was the case. No wonder he wanted to come here. The heavens were not unkind to him. They were afraid that he would be lonely after death and had left so many people to accompany him. Although they were all Octopus people and did not speak the same language, they would not be as easy to get along with as Senior Wang Zhong, at least they would have companions. Wang Zhong's eyes lit up. His eyes were filled with fear.
It was a pity that he no longer had the strength to walk into the castle. His body had been absorbed until only skin and bones were left. His eye sockets were deep, and countless greenish-purple meridians had severely protruded from his skin. Fortunately, he had finally seen what he wanted. Grai was already satisfied. The relaxation of his consciousness caused him to collapse among the corpses outside the castle.
He thought of a boring joke that Senior Ma Dong had told him when he was in Tianjing. When he opened his eyes, a night had passed. When he closed his eyes, a lifetime had passed …
There was a smile at the corner of Grai's mouth, and he closed his eyes.
An extremely weak consciousness was trapped in the darkness of nothingness. He felt that his surroundings were very cold, and his weak consciousness could be completely frozen and dissipate at any time. Faintly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name in the nothingness. However, at that moment, he did not have the strength to respond even if he wanted to.
His consciousness gradually dissipated in the darkness and coldness. However, gradually, his surroundings seemed to produce light and warmth. This warmth nourished his broken consciousness, allowing him to rapidly recover and even strengthen rapidly …
He became more and more clear-headed, and his surroundings were as bright as day. However, he was still in nothingness.
Grai wanted to walk out of this nothingness, but he encountered walls everywhere in the light. However, at the same time, the light was nurturing him and guiding him, causing him to feel a great power awakening in his body. He even saw some awe-inspiring portraits in the nothingness that had only appeared in the murals of the Blood Race.
They were the ancestors of the Blood Race. They emitted a brilliant light and sat in front of him like a god. They were awe-inspiring and powerful. They were so sacred that they could not be violated. Grai could not help but want to worship them, but he could not do so. This was because he slowly realized, to his astonishment, that the ancestor of the Blood Race who was sitting like a god seemed to be him …
When he finally realized this, it was as if an empty thought had been comprehended in his heart. The walls of the nothingness around him suddenly disappeared, and Grai opened his eyes. The slight bewilderment in his eyes quickly disappeared like a dream, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.
Wang Zhong!
"S-" When he saw Wang Zhong, Grai, who had just woken up from his dream, was dumbfounded. When he left the Wanderlust Team, he had just heard that Wang Zhong was wreaking havoc in the Imperial City behind the Octopus people. He was thousands of kilometers away from the northern battlefield. Why was Senior Wang Zhong here?
Wang Zhong was one year older than him. Their initial encounter was a coincidence. Wang Zhong had chosen to study in Tianjing Academy because of Tianjing's uniqueness. This was a first-tier city in the Federation, but there were not many people from the 10 Great Families in the Federation. Thus, it was more suitable for him to hide here, and he did not need to worry about attracting the covetous eyes and inquiries from the large families because of his outstanding performance. Furthermore, choosing the Prodigy Society was even more of a coincidence. Wang Zhong was the first in the academy in terms of theoretical results, but his combat ability was the last. Yet, he could enter the high-gravity training room to temper his body. This made him a little curious and interested.
However, after the various interactions with Wang Zhong over the past two years, the mutual trust in each other, the experience of fighting side by side and relying on each other was completely different from the cruel training camp under Solomon. Wang Zhong's enthusiasm and positivity gave Grai, who was filled with hatred, too many positive things. It could be said that he had been greatly influenced by Wang Zhong.
It could be said that he had been greatly influenced by Wang Zhong, to the extent that others would be unable to imagine it. Although the two of them did not address each other as brothers, Grai subconsciously felt that Wang Zhong was a little like the elder brother who had brought him out to the outskirts to hunt when he was young. Wang Zhong was also a person that was worth trusting and relying on. As an orphan, this was what he lacked the most.
Thus, he subconsciously wanted to call him Senior, but after a slight hesitation, he could not do so. This was because he immediately realized that Wang Zhong had definitely come to find him. Wang Zhong had entered such a dangerous place for a 'traitor' who was hiding by his side and did not care about his own safety at all. Even if he was a relative, how many people could do this? Grai felt very ashamed. Wang Zhong had treated him as an important relative, yet he was a spy planted by someone else. Regardless of whether he had betrayed Wang Zhong or not, he felt that he was not worthy of the sacred word 'relative'. He did not even dare to look Wang Zhong in the eye.
However, Wang Zhong seemed to be able to read his heart. After a short moment of astonishment, he felt deeply gratified and pleasantly surprised. It was fine as long as this fellow was still alive! Wang Zhong also let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he quickly walked over and grinned. "Why can't you call me that? Once is a senior, and you will always be a senior! "
There was no rebuke, no pretentiousness, and no superfluous words. There were only a few simple words. It was as if the two of them were just greeting each other after a meal, treating the desperate situation as if it was nothing.
Grai's eyes turned slightly red, but he still slowly raised his head.
"I'm sorry!"
"Are you still the Grai I know? What can't we discuss together? If you really want to return Solomon's favor, isn't it just a single circuit? Give it to him. It's not a big deal!" Wang Zhong laughed. When he saw that Grai had regained consciousness, his heart that had been hanging in suspense finally returned to his chest.
"Eat something first." Wang Zhong did not say anything more. It was obvious that it was not the time yet.
Grai smiled bitterly. "I can't get over myself. Not only did Solomon save my life, but he also helped me through my most difficult times."
Wang Zhong looked at Grai and sighed. "I wanted to wait for you to recover before showing you. Some things can't be judged on the surface."
As he spoke, he handed the information to Grai. This fellow was a true honest boy. Wang Zhong had tried his best to save him, but he was still conflicted about himself.
"I don't dare to say that this plan was definitely arranged by Solomon, but the destruction of your family was definitely a conspiracy by the Kaiser Empire. They deliberately created an orphan like you, who has natural endowments and hatred for the Federation."
Wang Zhong did not say much. The impact of this matter on Grai was probably a little too big.
Grai understood his own race better. At that time, everyone lived on animal blood. The sudden appearance of a vicious blood-sucking case shocked his family. Not long after, the Federation army came. Now that he thought about it, there were quite a lot of problems. Grai looked at the contents of the information seriously and confirmed his thoughts one by one. As he was a Dandelion, he knew many Dandelions' backgrounds.
It turned out that everything was a nightmare.
"Senior, I'm sorry!" After a long time, Grai, who had regained his figure, apologized again.
"We're all brothers. Don't be so stubborn next time. Now, here's the problem. It's easy to come in, but how do we get out?" Wang Zhong shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He knew that Grai had to be saved, but he had no way of getting out.
As long as he saved Grai, Wang Zhong would be fine even if he was in deep danger. On the other hand, Grai was a fearless person after he had solved the knot in his heart. The two of them were very calm about the situation in front of them, and they did not seem to be in a dead end at all.
It was actually not too difficult to leave a dimensional secret realm for a practitioner who had lived in the Fifth Dimension for a long time. As long as they could enter, they would definitely be able to leave. They could just go back the way they came. However, the problem now was, where was the way they came from?
The two of them told each other about their experiences in this Dimensional Secret Realm. Immediately, they realized that everyone had landed at the exact same place. They had all landed at the same lake. However, the two of them had entered in different ways. This meant that the lake was connected to the outside world. At the very least, it was constantly moving in the real world. In addition, Grai did not emerge from the lake but fell from the sky. However, according to his memory, when he looked up at the sky, he did not feel the existence of any passageway node at all, nor did he see any dimensional cracks.
At the same time, Wang Zhong also clearly remembered that he had emerged from a lake, but it was a lake that was almost dry and was at most waist-deep. At a glance, he could see a passageway through the entire lake, and there were no so-called cracks or passageways at the bottom of the lake.
It was very strange that one could enter but not exit. This was completely different from the passageways of ordinary dimensional secret realms, and they definitely could not be generalized. This strange world was filled with mysteries, and for a moment, they seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.
"Let's look around first and search the castle to see if we can find any clues."
The more clueless they were, the more it aroused their desire to challenge.
