A World Worth Protecting

aole.

Amidst thunderous booms and waves of spirit energy surging across the air, the will inside the Demonic Eye Art unleashed a second attack to thwart the pursuit of Wang Baole’s enemies.
Wang Baole sped up instantly and rushed at the statue’s eye, reappearing next to the statue instantly.
The Planet realm cultivator from the Violet Gold civilization and Zi Luo roared furiously as they watched him collide with the statue’s eye, phasing straight through the statue effortlessly!

Zi Luo caught up with Wang Baole just as the latter disappeared into the statue.
He unleashed his full power and struck the statue’s eye.
However, no matter how hard he struck the statue, its eye remained unchanging and unmoving, keeping Zi Luo outside!

“The statue’s origins are mysterious.
It’s probably a statue of the first emperor of the Divine Eye civilization… Unless one possesses Eternal Star realm cultivation, it’s likely impossible to force your way inside!” The palm that had been formed from the Planet realm aura inside the lamp had transformed into a blurry outline of a person.
The indistinct figure eyed the statue, snorted, then paid no further heed to Zi Luo.
Instead, he turned around and returned to the lamp.

His voice continued to reverberate in the imperial cemetery after he had vanished inside the lamp.

“He Yunzi, the window of opportunity has passed.
It doesn’t matter whether that kid lives or dies inside the Divine Eye imperial cemetery.
Neither bodes well for us.
Now… the only solution is to force a descent and stabilize the situation.
You should make up your mind quickly!”

He Yunzi listened to what the Planet realm cultivator had said, then turned and saw the flicker of icy light in Zi Luo’s stormy eyes.
The other two princes standing next to him appeared slightly uneasy too.
They turned and looked at He Yunzi.

He Yunzi felt torn.
He had been forced into a tough spot today.
He hadn’t expected the old emperor to go behind his back and commit those deeds.
At the same time, he knew very well that the intruder who had barged in upon them earlier had emanated an aura that had belonged to the first emperor of their royal clan.

The first emperor is clearly trying to resurrect himself… and he’s probably going to succeed.
What awaits me then will be… Visible red veins appeared in He Yunzi’s eyes, and an aura of madness radiated from the man as he spoke in a dark, heavy voice.

“The treasonous greater sects have pushed us too far.
First, they surrounded us, and now, they’ve sent assassins to infiltrate the royal clan, kill our emperor, and rob us of our clan’s ancestral power.
They’ll have to… answer for that!

“From this day on, I’ll temporarily take over as the head of the Divine Eye civilization.
I swear to restore our royal clan’s ancestral power, eliminate the three greater sects, and avenge our emperor.
I’ll stop at nothing to restore our royal clan to its former glory!

“I’ll use our royal clan’s power to unlock the Eye of the Eternal Star and invite the Violet Gold civilization to descend upon our civilization and aid us in sealing the imperial cemetery.
They’ll help us send the cemetery into the Realm of the Nine Spectrals, then help us destroy all treasonous elements in the Divine Eye civilization!”

“Agreed!” A cold, dark voice rang out from the lamp.
Flames surged out of the lamp and flooded the area, surrounding the statue and transforming the ground under the statue into soft mud.
The statue rapidly sank into the ground, vanishing from the surface of the earth and disappearing into what He Yunzi had called… the Realm of the Nine Spectrals.

Nine Spectrals was simply a name given to an underground space sealed away under the surface of the Divine Eye civilization.
It was worlds apart from the visible part of the Divine Eye civilization.

According to concepts that were understood on Earth, everything in the universe had two sides.
There was life and death, and there was light and darkness.
To a certain degree, the Nine Spectrals was akin to the underworld!

Those who were alive and stepped into this realm would find it extremely difficult to leave again!

He Yunzi didn’t turn back after he had said everything.
He led the royal clan and Zi Luo’s people away, departing swiftly.
What awaited them was something that was to be ended in the quickest time possible, something that the three greater sects hadn’t been prepared for and which they had just started… It was a war!

The royal clan was unprepared as well.
They were unable to fully unlock the Eye of the Eternal Star and allow the distant Violet Gold civilization to make a one-time, complete descent upon their civilization.
However, time was of the essence.
Instead of hesitating and waiting, it was better to act decisively.
That way… they would be able to launch an unexpected attack and overpower their enemies swiftly!

A war… was about to break out!

At that moment, inside the eye of the statue that had been sealed inside the Realm of the Nine Spectrals, within the real imperial cemetery of the Divine Eye civilization, Wang Baole… had also reappeared!

Upon reappearing and seeing what was around him, he momentarily froze in shock, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
