Time passed.

It had been a full three months since Su Yu entered Dragon Valley.

Compared to three months ago, the valley had changed completely.

The once-silent realm now carried a spark of vitality.

With Electrolux's help, some of the long-dead true dragons had managed to coalesce soul forms, partially reviving. They used their own corpses as vessels and rooted themselves in the Dragon Valley as their foundation. In the time that followed, they rapidly recovered by absorbing the life force Su Yu had transformed and released.

Though they had not yet regained their full power from life, Su Yu believed they now possessed the foundation necessary for true rebirth.

Mastering the power of life and death reincarnation, Su Yu felt he might have a chance to resurrect the dragon souls in undead forms!

However, this wasn't a small task; it was an enormous project. With the time available now, there was simply no way to fit it into his schedule.

"Their resurrection isn't urgent. Let's deal with the Abyss first." Gu Yue Na said.

When Su Yu was condensing his ninth soul ring, the fluctuation of laws triggered the core left by the Dragon God deep within the Dragon Grave. Even though Gu Yue Na was far away in the extreme north, she still felt it. Without delay, she opened a spatial portal and rushed over.

"How's the Abyss passage coming along?"

"I've been here for half a month now," Gu Yue Na replied with a frown, "but before I arrived, the Abyss passage was already more than half-formed, and it's accelerating its formation."

"The passage they're trying to create is unimaginably large. Even though it's only halfway complete after several months, all that time has been spent expanding the passage and establishing the foundation. Now, another half-month has passed, and it's likely that the passage could be fully established at any moment."

Even the Silver Dragon King's tone carried a hint of solemnity.

There was no way around it. She wasn't at her peak. Due to her reincarnation, while she had fully shed the injuries she once bore, her power had also been stripped away. Although she could gradually regain her strength with time, it still required time. Right now, facing the Abyss with a level-one god stationed there, the pressure was considerable.

"How's the situation on the Sun and Moon Empire's side?"

Su Yu had been in Dragon Valley for three months, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.

It wasn't as if it mattered before, but now, it was an era of massive change. The unification war was ongoing, the Abyss was invading, new cultivation systems were being introduced, and so on. The world was constantly shifting.

So, three months was enough to create a significant information gap.

Fortunately, Su Yu could accept it. After hearing about the current situation from Gu Yue Na, he found it relatively acceptable.

"They started preparations for the new system ahead of time. The Star Luo Empire still has the last remnants holding the Star Luo City. The entire continent is recruiting soul masters at the Soul King level, distributing battle armor, and forming battle armor teams."

Su Yu could accept this.

"Since that's the case, after we handle the Abyss issue, I'll return here and help all of you truly resurrect," Su Yu said to the many dragon souls in the Dragon Grave.

These were the divine dragons from their past lives.

Real, true divine beasts.

Even if they couldn't fully regain their former strength upon resurrection, their potential would still be incredibly high.

And who knew? Maybe one of them had been an incredibly powerful true dragon before death, and if its body and soul were well-preserved, it could be resurrected with god-level power. That would be a powerful ally for Su Yu.

Electrolux had already condensed his energy form. He left Dragon Valley along with Su Yu and Gu Yue Na. His foundation had been completely separated from the Blade of Life and no longer depended on that life space. Now, he could exist independently.

Once they exited Dragon Valley, Su Yu and the others appeared near Tianhai City.

"I didn't expect Dragon Valley had such a backdoor," Gu Yue Na said, seeming surprised. "I didn't know about this spatial passage."

But she assumed it must have been created by the Dragon God long ago.

Although she was a split of the Dragon God, she hadn't inherited all of the Dragon God's memories. In fact, she and the Golden Dragon King were new lives born from halves of the Dragon God's body after the split. The information they knew about the Dragon God was mostly gained through bloodline inheritance.

"Hm? You didn't know about it?" Su Yu was taken aback, feeling a bit surprised.

Gu Yue Na didn't know there was a passage from Dragon Valley?

"Is it the Dragon Clan's backdoor? That seems unlikely. Otherwise, with Gu Yue Na's status and the power she inherited from the Dragon God, she should have been able to detect this passage during her investigation of Dragon Valley."

It's possible that when Su Yu first used this passage to enter Dragon Valley, he inadvertently broke some kind of concealment technique, allowing the spatial passage to be detected now.

However, Su Yu didn't believe that such concealment techniques were meant to keep out their own people.

"So, this passage isn't something that's been stolen from the Dragon Clan's old home, right?" Su Yu shook his head, dismissing the idea. The Dragon Clan, at its peak, was one of the most powerful forces in the entire universe.

Not dwelling on this, Gu Yue Na had already opened a spatial passage.

Su Yu stepped forward and followed her into the passage.

Unlike Emperor Tian's method of tearing space, which was more destructive, Gu Yue Na's spatial passage was more technical and far more stable.

While Gu Yue Na opened the passage with her skill, Su Yu utilized his understanding of spatial power to achieve the same result.

Su Yu's method was more complicated, but it helped him grasp spatial power better.

If he didn't want to waste time, Su Yu could have simply followed Gu Yue Na's method, but after this experience, he was now capable of doing it himself.

In the extreme northern lands.

Snowflakes were swirling in the air, and the howling cold wind was fierce, carrying solidified ice elemental energy that was whipped through the air.

In this terrifying environment, a team of three hundred people stood silently on guard.

This was an area near the core of the extreme northern lands. On the outer edges, there was a group of several thousand Soul Masters stationed, with unified heating Soul Guidance devices to help them withstand the harsh conditions.

Further outside, a massive army of tens of thousands surrounded the entire extreme northern region.

Core circle.

Jing Hongchen and the others had already arrived.

At this point, they weren't concerned about the Star Luo Empire trying to steal their home. The Star Luo Empire was struggling just to resist the Sun-Moon Army outside Star Luo City, let alone sending people to Sun-Moon.

Moreover, the defensive strength of Sun-Moon would be no less than the Sun-Moon Army at Star Luo City.

They no longer needed feedback from the spatial detection Soul Guidance devices. Jing Hongchen and the others could clearly feel the terrifying fluctuations of spatial power.

"Sure enough, it's you guys from the Spirit Hall causing trouble," Jing Hongchen said.

As a barrier shattered, the four members of the Demon Emperor hidden deep in the core circle of the extreme northern lands were exposed.

Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, and the others quickly surrounded them.

"I didn't expect you to break through," Jing Hongchen said, genuinely surprised that Zhongli Wu had reached the Titled Douluo limit.

The Demon Emperor's face turned dark, scanning the two humans and two beasts that had surrounded them.

Four Titled Douluo!

She had already anticipated the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire's Titled Douluo-level fighters. Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, with the help of their battle armor, could easily reach the Titled Douluo level. At most, they could add one more like Su Yu.

But she hadn't expected that they would also find the Snow Empress and Emperor Tian.

Snow Empress was understandable since the Abyss was invading the Douluo Continent through the extreme northern lands, and as the ruler of the northern region, her involvement was normal.

But why was Emperor Tian here?

Emperor Tian's Beast God title wasn't earned lightly. Being known as the strongest on the Douluo Continent for such a long time wasn't an exaggeration.

Even the ancient Sea Soul Beast with nearly a million years of cultivation wouldn't dare to claim it could defeat Emperor Tian.

Emperor Tian, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, with his pure Dragon King bloodline, had the potential to become a God King in the age of the Dragon God.

Now, with over 800,000 years of cultivation, his strength was unimaginable.

Even the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, who had nearly a million years of cultivation, didn't dare to provoke Emperor Tian.

But that wasn't the most shocking thing for the Demon Emperor.

What truly angered her was that, from her perception, countless Soul Guidance weapons had locked onto her, posing a serious threat.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, both of whom were present, had equally grim expressions, clearly feeling the lock-on of the numerous Soul Guidance weapons as well.
