Zhou Huai froze in place.
In any world, even the current world, SSS-Class Professionals are mythical figures as rare as a phoenix.
On the surface, the current world does not even have one; only those Ancient Remnant Clans hiding in the shadows possess such power.
Yet The Eighth World actually possessed more than ten SSS-Rank Experts!
"Those ten SSS-Rank Experts joined forces to form a Killing Matrix. With various Forbidden Spells, Domains, and Laws overlapping, even Duan at that time found it troublesome. He had mastered high-dimensional power, but ultimately, he had not yet completely become a Transcendent. Facing a siege of that magnitude, he was in danger of being completely suppressed."
Anubis's gaze grew deep and profound, as if he had returned to that era of raging war.
"Therefore, in the end, under unavoidable circumstances, Duan had to make a decision that went against his original intentions."
"He chose to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao at that time."
Anubis enunciated every word, tossing out this earth-shattering secret.
"What?!" Chun stood up, triggering a fit of violent coughing. "Duan cooperated with the Heavenly «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Dao? Didn't he want to overthrow the Heavenly Dao?"
"Times change." Anubis swept a cold glance at Chun. "For Duan, surviving is the most important thing. He secretly opened the Law coordinates of The Eighth World to the Heavenly Dao System and, at the most critical moment of the final battle, destroyed the Human Alliance's defensive barrier from the inside."
"The Heavenly Dao is ruthless. When it completely destroyed The Eighth World, it unleashed an unprecedented world-ending divine punishment, crushing those ten SSS-Rank Experts along with the entire civilization of The Eighth World into nothingness!"
"But it was precisely because of this world-ending operation that the Heavenly Dao System consumed an extremely massive amount of Origin energy." Anubis looked at Zhou Huai. "This gave Duan the opportunity to develop in the Ninth World, which is your current world. The System's computational power became unprecedentedly weak, which is why he could unscrupulously absorb the remnant souls of the old era and completely break his shackles."
"This time, he learned his lesson. He no longer cultivates humans, but instead treats those awakened ruin experts as batteries to be devoured. This time... he intends to completely trip up the Heavenly Dao."
Inside the black stone hall, there was no sound.
Only the crackling of torches echoed in the air.
Zhou Huai sat on the chair, his brain working at high speed, connecting all the clues bit by bit.
He suddenly realized everything; the mystery that had been clouding his heart was finally solved.
No wonder Anubis said that The Eighth World was their only possibility for a turnaround.
"So that's how it is..." Zhou Huai raised his head. "Inside the ruins of The Eighth World, there actually exist the spirits or remains of those ten SSS-Class Professionals. That is truly a terrifying power." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
And the most critical point is that those people were backstabbed by Mr. Duan when The Eighth World was destroyed, so they must harbor undying enmity toward Mr. Duan.
Once The Eighth Ruin opens, those awakened experts from The Eighth World will definitely view Mr. Duan as their number one mortal enemy!
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Zhou Huai sneered. "Mr. Duan is currently devouring experts of the old era everywhere precisely to accumulate enough power to confront those avengers he once betrayed before The Eighth Ruin opens. When that time comes, once The Eighth Ruin appears in the world, it will surely be a true world-class war!"
This is a war of revenge spanning two eras.
And Zhou Huai could completely find an opportunity to break the deadlock in this chaotic battle.
"Then, the most important question." Zhou Huai stared at Anubis. "Where exactly is the location of The Eighth Ruin? Since it is the key to breaking the deadlock, we must strike first."
Facing Zhou Huai's pressing question, Anubis helplessly spread his hands.
"Regrettably, the first thing Duan did after waking up in the current world was to use high-dimensional Laws to completely Seal the coordinates of The Eighth Ruin in advance." Anubis shook his head. "That Sealing power is superior to the current world's System; even my Underworld River perception cannot pinpoint its detailed location."
"You mean we can only sit and wait?"
"That's not exactly it." Anubis said. "Duan's Seal is powerful, but those guys from The Eighth World are no pushovers either. They are constantly attacking the Seal from the inside. It won't be long before cracks appear in the Seal, and it will unseal itself from within. However, the specific time is unknown. It could be tomorrow, or it could be a month from now."
"No."
Zhou Huai shook his head decisively, cutting Anubis off directly.
He stood up, his body unconsciously radiating the pressure of a half-step Transcendent.
"We absolutely cannot pin our hopes on such uncertain timing." Zhou Huai looked at him. "The high-probability scenario is that we will likely be found by Mr. Duan, who will have completely absorbed all the power, before The Eighth Ruin unseals."
"The ten days that Chun bought with her life are our only buffer period. Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Duan is currently held up by the Origin virus, we must take the initiative to attack and find clues to The Eighth Ruin as soon as possible, and unseal it in advance! Only by muddying the waters do we have a chance to survive."
Anubis looked at this decisive young man from Daxia in front of him and, for the first time ever, showed admiration.
"I have to say, you kid are arrogant, but what you said makes a lot of sense." Anubis struck the ground heavily with his scepter of death and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, we can only split into two paths."
"I will use the permeation power of the Underworld River water to investigate the fluctuations of the high-dimensional Seal across the world and do my utmost to find the coordinates of The Eighth Ruin."
Anubis raised his head and looked at Zhou Huai: "And you, you cannot be idle during these ten days. Take a trip to the Atlantic Ocean and find that friend in the Castlantis Ruins."
Anubis sneered. "That is an ancient Sea God sleeping on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. To counter the avengers of The Eighth World, Duan must also be eyeing him. You go and test him to see if he has any interest in cooperating."
Anubis said: "If he doesn't want to cooperate, then find a way... to take him out. I don't want him to become nourishment for Mr. Duan to complete his high-dimensional godhood."
The hall fell silent.
Taking out a Dominator of an ancient ruin—hearing such words come out of Anubis's mouth was like hearing someone talk about crushing an ant.
After hearing this, Zhou Huai's mouth curled up bit by bit, revealing his stark white teeth.
He turned his head, glanced at Chun beside him, who was also sneering, and then set his gaze on Anubis.
The Law power of All-Aspects Unity surged within his body, with thunder and shadows intertwining.
"Just what I wanted."
