After Zhang Yu came out of the temple, he looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a row of short shrubs with red fruits growing on them. He soared into the air and flew north along this path.
From the little girl named "Nuya", he learned that there were two forces within this World Gap. One was the cave dwellers who lived in the caves deep in the mountains, and the other was the Igea Gods who lived in the fertile land.
Originally, because the two lived in different environments, there was no conflict of interest, so they did not interfere with each other. However, now the two were embroiled in a war.
The reason was that a divine item kept by the cave dwellers had suddenly changed, causing this long-hidden world to be exposed.
The Igea Gods felt uneasy because of this. They did not wish for their long-lasting peace and joy to be broken, so they requested the cave dwellers to immediately cover up this divine item. However, the cave dwellers believed that this was the divine item's own will and choice, so they could not interfere.
The Igea Gods chose to negotiate at the beginning, but the cave dwellers were not easy to communicate with. They were abnormally stubborn. As the divine item's power continued to fluctuate, the entire World Gap became unstable.
Because they were afraid that their kingdom would be destroyed, the Igea Gods had no choice but to start a war.
According to Nuya, the Igea Gods still maintained the power they had before the change of the era. Under the main god Mota, Saisa, and Yoah, there were still seventeen powerful gods, and countless weak gods and descendants.
The cave dwellers were the servants of the ancient gods, so they could obtain the blessings of the divine item. The magnitude of their power was dependent on the amount of divine item's power they carried.
When tens of thousands of cave dwellers appeared, they would be a terrifying force. Therefore, they were not an easy enemy to deal with.
Currently, most of the Iga's forces were tied up in the mountains. The ones left behind were some weak gods and their descendants. Because of this, the cultivators' journey here was so smooth. They didn't encounter any decent resistance.
However, there was a place here that caught Zhang Yu's attention. The divine item's name, Nuya, was expressed in the spiritual language. However, if it was expressed in the Tianxia language, it would be the "Divine Ring of Creation".
It was a name he had heard before.
Previously, when he was searching for Origin Energy outside the garrison town in the Wasteland, he met Yan Tai Academy's Elder Lu and the others who were searching for antiques. They had a conversation, and they had mentioned this godly item.
According to the legends, this item was kept by the Cave Dwellers, and there were also Cave Dwellers here. This was definitely not a coincidence.
As he flew forward, the red fruit bushes on the ground became sparse, and an isolated mountain peak appeared in front of him. It was a beacon, and even during the day, it was still lit with a bright fire.
At the top of the mountain, there was a tall statue of a god. It was a muscular old man dressed in magnificent armor. He held a giant hammer in one hand and a scepter in the other. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he stared at a certain spot in front of him.
Zhang Yu paused in midair. He turned around and looked in the direction of the man's gaze. Soon, he saw a pit in the ground. It was about thirty feet wide and bottomless. There was no one around it.
Nuya had told him that following the passage here would lead him directly to the World of Divine Remains. That place was where the legendary "Divine Ring of Creation" was stored, and it was also the source that maintained the existence of the "World Gap".
Through the Seal of the Seers, he had also seen groups of God's descendants enter this pit under EsGod's lead. This was enough to prove that Nuya was telling the truth.
However, he was not prepared to leave just like that.
He raised his head and looked into the distance. To the north was a stretch of reddish-brown mountains. That was where the Cave Dwellers lived, and it was also the place where the current battle was taking place. Even though he was standing there, he could faintly feel the intense collision of divine power there.
The "Spirit Pass" was not a place that anyone could obtain. One had to have the power to occupy it. Thus, there was no difference whether one reached it earlier or later.
With such a big movement from the God of Creation, this news could not be hidden. As the people of Frost Continent and Wan Ming's group went deeper, it would not be difficult for them to find out the truth. They would definitely go there in the end.
The battle between the various factions would definitely not be decided so easily. Since he had already confirmed the location, there was no need for him to rush over so quickly.
He thought for a moment and decided to go and collect Origin Energy first.
Thus, he turned around and flew into the distance.
In the northwest direction, in a large settlement of the God of Creation.
Gao Hujun was looking at the various murals on the stone walls of the temple. The murals depicted the mighty and heroic figures of the God of Creation during the battle. He was not standing here to admire the art but to communicate with the Observer, trying to understand the divine power that the God of Creation possessed through these murals.
Lan Sima walked over with light steps and cupped her fists. "Hujun, I've investigated clearly. Most of the gods here have gone to the mountains in the north to fight for the 'World of Divine Remains'. Only a few weak God's descendants are left behind."
She raised her hand, and a crystal jade giant pushed over a male God's descendant with a fearful expression.
Although this God's descendant possessed strength far surpassing that of mortals, in his opinion, the crystal jade giants around him were all taller and stronger than him. They were not people he could fight against.
He knelt before Gao Hujun, then opened his hands and praised, "Great foreign god, Shecha, descendant of the God of Creation, pays his utmost respect to you."
Lan Sima said, "Hujun, he was the one who told us the news. Apart from him, the rest of the people in the settlement are all mortals."
Gao Hujun glanced at the God's descendant and stepped forward. He reached out with his hand and pressed it against the man's head.
The God's descendant immediately felt a strange power enter his mind. He couldn't help but tremble, but he didn't dare resist. He only followed the instructions of the crystal jade giant and did his best to relax.
After a while, Gao Hujun withdrew his hand and allowed the God's descendant to fall to the ground. His blood-red crystal eyes flickered as if he was digesting something. After a few breaths, he finally calmed down.
Lan Sima asked for permission. After receiving permission, she waved her hand and said, "Take this God of Creation away. He's still useful."
Gao Hujun then turned to a subordinate and said, "Pass down the order. No one is allowed to kill the mortals here. After we occupy this place and convert them, we can use them to fill the gap in our population."
The subordinate cupped his fists and left to pass down the order.
Lan Sima thought for a moment and asked, "Hujun, what do we do next?"
Gao Hujun said, "Gather all the scattered people and set off with me in fifteen minutes."
Lan Sima cupped her fists and said, "Yes."
At this time, a soldier walked in and said to Lan Sima, "Sima, we lost contact with two more teams. We think it's those cultivators we encountered before."
Lan Sima said, "How troublesome." She turned to the silent cultivator surnamed Ding and said, "Mister Ding, we need to organize people to deal with those EsGods. We'll have to trouble you to deal with those cultivators behind us."
Ding nodded and said, "Leave it to me." He turned around and flew out with a surge of black mist.
The soldier said, "Lan Sima, can he solve our problem?"
Lan Sima said indifferently, "Even if he can't, it's good to block them. Isn't that his use?"
The soldier said, "He's also a cultivator. If he colludes with those cultivators …"
Lan Sima waved her hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. We still have something they need. Besides, he can't go back after joining us. He can't go anywhere other than following us."
After Zhang Yu left the mountain, he went to the various temples that had been destroyed by the cultivators and the people of Shuang Continent to search for Origin Energy. His harvest was not small.
Half a day later, he found a secluded place to settle down. He called out Hunzhang and asked about it. He found that he was only a little bit away from gathering enough Spirit Qi for the visualization diagram. According to the previous situation, it should be enough to find one or two more statues.
Thus, he flew into the air again. Half a day later, another temple appeared in his field of vision. It looked like it had been through a battle, but the structure was still in good condition.
He descended as a streak of azure light and landed on the surface of the earth.
Outside the temple, there were several crystal jade giants lying there. Some of them had their chests shattered, while others had lost their heads.
However, they were different from the Crystal Jade Giant he had seen in the Wilderness. After the Crystal Jade Giant had taken off its outer armor, it looked no different from the people of Tianxia. However, these people in front of him did not have human bodies that were exposed under the shattered Crystal Jades.
They had grey-white skin without a single strand of hair on their bodies. There were knots on their backs, and their eyes were deep blue. Their cheeks were sunken, and the blood that flowed out of them was a kind of green juice.
The light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he activated the Seal of Seer. Then, he saw three cultivators with blurred faces passing by. They met the five crystal jade giants by chance, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
In a small group battle, the cultivators should have the upper hand, but the battle situation was not so.
This group of crystal jade giants had a great variety of weapons, and they cooperated with each other quite well. There was also an abundant spiritual light acting as a defense. The three cultivators were actually unable to take them down for a while, and were even forced into a disadvantageous position. It was not until two more cultivators joined in that the balance was broken and the crystal jade giants were defeated.
He paid more attention to the weapons held by the Crystal Jade Giants and tried to observe them carefully. At this time, a black fog suddenly flew over from the distance. It seemed to have seen the scene here and Zhang Yu who was standing here, so it quickly descended.
