Demon?
Suhlen said with a cold expression, "Now that something has happened, all sorts of monsters and serpents dare to come and cause trouble!"
"Dominate Demon!"
A light flashed, and the low-level demon's eyes instantly glazed over. After controlling the demon, Suhlen casually cast a spell and forcibly read its recent memories.
Suhlen said with an ugly expression, "The Dimensional Barrier has weakened!"
The Dimensional Barrier was a protective layer in the main material world, half-planes, and other planes. With this protective layer, the demons from the Abyss would find it difficult to enter this world. The stronger the Dimensional Barrier, the more difficult it would be to enter. Even if the demons came to the main material world, their power would be suppressed.
This invisible protective barrier mainly targeted the existence of the gods. If the energy level was too high, it would be naturally rejected when entering the material plane. This was also the main reason why the gods and demon lords could not descend into the world. In order to avoid this rule, most of the gods used divine power to enter the material plane, while the demons used soul projection.
Suhlen had just received news from the demon that the Dimensional Barrier of this world had begun to weaken. This was not good news. Neither the demons from the Abyss nor the devils from Baator would give up the opportunity to harvest the soul crystals in the main material world.
The arrival of the Elemental Tide brought a lot of benefits, but also a crisis.
The world of demons belonged to the lower planes, including the Abyss, Baator, and the Dark Abyss. It was usually rich in negative energy, but it was not too close to the Death God's kingdom. The Styx River passed through all the lower planes and finally flowed into the Death God's kingdom. In the multiverse, the worst thing demons and devils did was to steal souls from the Styx River.
The water of the Styx River was not something that anyone could touch. If one dared to touch the water of the Styx River directly with their physical body, they would be eroded by the water of the Styx River. Even the gods did not dare to touch the water of the Styx River lightly. In the multiverse, only the Death God could bathe in the water of the Styx River.
The water of the Styx River had many strange abilities. The most frightening thing about it was that it could erase anyone's memories. This was because the water of the Styx River was originally used to cleanse souls. After erasing the memories of the soul, it could be reincarnated through the Death God.
Without the interference of the gods, the cycle of life and death was dominated by the Origin Sea. Souls would quickly melt after entering the Origin Sea, and the birth of life would absorb energy from the Origin Sea. At the same time, the Source Sea was the birthplace of all laws. When a lifeform ascended to Legend, their soul would have a chance to approach the Source Sea to comprehend the laws.
The Origin Sea was a special plane. No, it shouldn't be called a plane. It was a special space in the universe that was connected to all planes.
Sorcerers believed that the Origin Sea was the source of life and energy in the multiverse. All souls of life, including the ancient gods, were born from the Origin Sea. This was the beginning and the end of the universe.
At the same time, the Source Sea was also a very dangerous place. It was a place where life was reincarnated. All souls that entered this place would be completely crushed like a grinder. This reincarnation method was to crush all souls into countless tiny fragments and then reconstruct them randomly.
The reincarnation presided over by the Death God was much simpler. The Death God would erase all the memories of the souls and send them back to reincarnation. Of course, because there were too many souls, the Death God would also send most of them to the Origin Sea. The real task of the Death God was to ensure the normal cycle of death and protect the souls from being stolen or damaged by others.
Demons and devils would take the risk to enter the Styx River to steal souls, but now that the Elemental Tide had arrived and the spatial barrier of the material plane had weakened, those demons would not let go of such a good opportunity. Compared to stealing souls in the Styx River, the difficulty and danger of going to the material plane to collect souls were much lower.
Suhlen cleaned up the surroundings of his territory and returned to the Astrology Platform. He was waiting for Hathaway to recover, and at the same time, he was waiting for news about the ruins.
The Northern Wilderness.
In the Wilderness, a group of vigilant adventurers was hurrying along.
Carlos was wearing a fine chainmail and holding a curved sword in his hand, clearing the path in front. As the sharp curved sword was swung rapidly, the surrounding bushes and weeds were quickly cut down, clearing a barely passable path.
Surprisingly, there were a few bald men in this group. Judging from their attire, they should be traveling monks. Since the establishment of the Northern Wilderness, many monks had traveled through this place to travel to the Wilderness.
Opening a path in this kind of Wilderness was very tiring, and they had to be alert at all times. The people in charge of opening the path took turns. Soon, Carlos was replaced by another warrior.
Carlos put away his weapon and took out a sheepskin scroll to check. Although paper was very popular now, some important documents were still written with sheepskin in the Wilderness. Because of the harsh environment in the Wilderness, paper was too easily damaged.
"It should be around here," Carlos said as he flipped the scroll.
The scroll was a topographic map of the Northern Wilderness. After Hathaway 'saw' the ruins with her prophecy, Suhlen had marked the general location of the ruins and some of the main features of the ruins and distributed it to the mercenaries who accepted the mission.
"Stay alert! We're close to the ruins. The number of mutated monsters we've encountered along the way has obviously decreased, but don't be careless! I don't want to give your compensation to your wives! "
"Haha, don't worry, boss. We'll be careful!"
"Boss, I won't give you the chance!"
The others in the group all shouted. The originally gloomy group instantly became lively.
After seeing the status of the group, Carlos secretly sighed in relief. Traveling for a long time in the Wilderness would make people feel irritated and tired, but it seemed like the group was in good condition.
"Look over there!" someone exclaimed.
When the others in the group looked up, they all exclaimed. Not far away, a severely weathered broken stone pillar appeared in the weeds.
"Ruins! We found the ruins! "
"We're rich! Haha, we're rich! "
"I can consider retiring when I go back, buy a few acres of land, buy a manor, and become a manor owner!"
After that, the adventurers began to clear away the surrounding weeds and shrubs. As the weeds were cleared away, more and more ruins appeared before their eyes. There were broken stone pillars, heavily weathered statues, and stones that had long been indistinguishable. Everything here showed that this was a ruin that had existed for a long time.
