Their mission was to guard the gate that led to the Abyss.
They could even disregard the emperor's orders.
The Abyss was the hometown of Crimson Goddess and Li Zihua.
That was… the true Wanggu!
It was the battlefield between the Summer Immortal, who had arrived from the Profound Earth back then, and the former Brilliant Heaven God Race.
In that battle, the Summer Immortal won. He sealed the Brilliant Heaven God Race and their God Emperor and even transformed the Wanggu's sky back then into the earth.
Hence, there was this current Wanggu.
Under Wanggu, above the Profound Earth, the place where the Brilliant Heaven God Race was sealed was thereafter defined in the Heavenly Dao as the AByss.
There were a total of nine gates in the Abyss.
The human race was suppressing one gate!
At that moment, light erupted from the Abyss gate, forming a terrifying might that resonated with the light from the imperial capital outside.
