Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 92: The Place Most Desired by Humankind

Thick grey fog was floating in the hollow, empty space, and beneath it were cliffs that crisscrossed the space, like a bridge to the end of the darkness, or like a haphazardly laid spider web.

Looking down from the cliff road, there is a deep abyss with no bottom in sight.

The gray fog, thicker than that on the cliff, rolled around like giant beasts flapping their wings.

Even if a mythical being could see through the gray fog, he still could not see the bottom of the abyss.

This is the inter-regional area.

The scene at the bottom of the abyss in the inter-realm is an unsolved mystery that lingers in the minds of many mythologists.

However, there are so many unsolved mysteries in the strange world that the myths do not have much desire to explore. An awakened person with too strong curiosity will not be conducive to survival in the strange world.

A convoy was moving slowly on the cliff road that was only wide enough for two cars to drive side by side.

The team was very long, several hundred meters from beginning to end.

Inside the convoy, one after another fog-dispelling oil lamps flickered with blue light, like floating fireflies in the gray fog.

Dozens of fireflies connected together look like a long blue snake winding forward.

"The visibility is still too poor. If you take a wrong step here, you will fall into the abyss."

At the front of the team, a sixth-level awakener wearing a red headscarf frowned.

The fog-repelling item used by their team is a high-grade, advanced (blue) item. It has always been effective. However, they are now in the inter-regional area, and the gray fog is as thick as during the Tide of Disaster. The effect of the advanced fog-repelling item has also been greatly weakened.

Their visibility was less than 100 meters.

And a hundred meters is often not enough to accommodate a huge and evil body.

"roar!"

While he was thinking, a thunderous roar exploded not far away.

A huge, ferocious head emerged from the gray fog and opened its terrifying mouth.

This is a six-star disaster-level evil!

The Red Turban Awakener is also at the level of the Sixth Awakening, and is a top powerhouse who has been awarded the title among the Sixth Awakening.

If the battle is normal, it would not be difficult for him to defeat and kill a disaster-level evil.

However, affected by the gray fog, Red Hood only realized the evil was approaching when the loud roar was heard.

Days of fighting and mental tension have also made the Red Scarf's thinking and reaction ability somewhat slow.

He was a beat slow.

“Damn it!”

He still had a chance to dodge, but the convoy behind him was unable to withstand even just one blow from the calamity-level evil.

In a hurry, the red headscarf jumped up and slashed out a sword that was dozens of meters long.

The blade left a long and narrow scar on the ferocious monster head. The next moment, the red headscarf was knocked away by the monster head, which had only slightly reduced its remaining momentum, and blood splattered everywhere.

This disaster-level strange dragon circled and swooped down again.

"die!"

A slender figure with a slightly pale face walked out of the carriage not far away.

She is a woman with short orange hair.

She stretched out her fist, flames condensed, and a mighty flaming dragon blasted out, swallowing up the calamity-level evil that swooped down with one blow.

She then reshaped the remaining flames into a long red whip, which shot out and wrapped around the injured Red Turban Awakener who had fallen off the cliff, pulling him back onto the steep road.

“Cough cough cough…”

After delivering this attack, the orange-haired woman's face turned even paler.

"team leader!"

The red hood ignored his own injuries and looked at the orange-haired woman in front of him with concern.

He knew very well that although he looked covered in blood, his injuries were not as serious as the captain in front of him.

The captain had already been seriously injured.

During the past two months of rushing and bumpy journeys, the captain not only did not have a suitable environment to recover, but he also had to force himself to take action again and again, causing his injuries to worsen.

The captain is a noble legend!

They come from a super power called "Tower of Dawn".

Originally they lived in a relatively remote large area within the Eastern Gui Realm. The environment within and around this area was quite dangerous, and there were very few human oases living here.

But in the midst of such a crisis, the Tower of Dawn not only survived tenaciously and developed into the only super oasis force in the surrounding areas, but also continued to grow stronger.

During its heyday, the Tower of Dawn had eight mythical Lords in charge.

Its combined strength is much stronger than the second-tier forces in the Broken Sea, such as the Chen family and the Tulip family.

The peak period of the Tower of Dawn was just two months ago.

Yes, two months ago, they could still proudly claim that they were one of the few first-class super oases in the Eastern Ghost World second only to the Overlord.

When the first tide of disaster arrived, the Tower of Dawn still had enough power to rescue other oases.

But perhaps the area where they were located was inherently dangerous, or perhaps they had met with misfortune, and in the later stage of the disaster tide, they suddenly suffered a devastating disaster.

A servant of the evil god descends, bringing with him endless filth.

With ease, they shattered the defensive rituals that had been set up in their Tower of Dawn for a thousand or two thousand years.

On that day, many oases under the jurisdiction of the Tower of Dawn sank.

The disaster struck too quickly, and they didn't even have time to send out a rescue call on the alliance platform. One by one, the myths fell at the hands of the evil god's servants.

In the end, it was with the help of a ritual in the oasis that allowed for spatial shifting that the last batch of fire escaped.

Only tens of thousands of people are left.

A first-rate superpower with a population of tens of millions disappeared overnight!

This is the strange world.

The remnants of the Tower of Dawn only have two Mythical Lords left.

Yao Yi, the orange-haired woman, is one of the two surviving myths and the youngest myth in the Tower of Dawn. She was once expected to become a demigod .

But that was all in the past.

The injuries and continuous fighting had already damaged his foundation, and Yao Yi knew very well that he had no chance of becoming a demigod.

She no longer cares whether she is a demigod or not. She just wants to lead the survivors of the Tower of Dawn to find a place to survive.

But it's not easy.

The areas surrounding their Tower of Dawn are all remote and dangerous.

After the collapse of the Tower of Dawn, even if there are still some large oases in the surrounding areas, it is difficult to say how long these large oases can last.

Maybe it will disappear tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Perhaps it has already been destroyed.

They need to go somewhere farther and safer.

But where can they go and which force is willing to accept them?

They thought of the Xinhuo organization.

During the disaster, they heard many times that the Xinhuo Organization sent out Shenhua to rescue people everywhere.

Xinhuo Academy is also recruiting students.

Thinking of this, they decided to go to the Falling Star Region.

There is no fixed spatial distance in the strange world. The distance between large domains has the gap between "near" and "far", but more importantly, it is the gap between "having a route" and "no route".

With routes, distances are shorter and journeys are safer.

Without a route, you may never reach your target area even if you walk for your entire life.

There is a reliable route to the Falling Star Region.

At many transit nodes in the inter-regional area, one can see signposts leading to the Falling Star Region.

However, even with a relatively clear route, traveling through the inter-regional area is still very dangerous.

The number of remnants of the Tower of Dawn has been reduced from tens of thousands at the beginning to more than 6,000 now .

The sacrifice was heavy.

This is also related to the large number of people in the team.

The larger the team, the more evils you will encounter.

The Tower of Dawn also has an epic airship, but the airship cannot carry so many people.

Leaving most people behind and forming an elite team to quickly head to the Falling Star Region... they couldn't do it either.

There are very few people who survived the disaster.

They are unwilling to give up any of their compatriots.

Even though, the result of doing so could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

“Ahem…”

The orange-haired woman Yao Yi looked into the distance and said, "There is a node ahead with a signpost indicating the Falling Star Domain. Perhaps, we are almost there."

She actually didn't know how far she was still to go.

In the inter-regional area, the space has long been out of balance.

They also didn't have a clear map, and didn't know how many nodes they had to pass through to get to the Falling Star Region.

They also lost the equipment to "log in" to the Human Alliance meeting and had no means of communicating with the outside world.

It feels like being on an isolated island under endless gray fog, making people feel lost and desperate.

Fortunately, there are road signs!

Road signs are like lighthouses for lost people, allowing them to retain a glimmer of hope in times of despair.

"But is the Xinhuo Organization really as safe and hopeful as described?"

Some awakened people are confused.

They have never dealt with the powerful Xinhuo masters, so everything they heard is just hearsay.

They had no idea whether the Xinhuo organization would take in these defeated soldiers.

Even though there are two legends and more than twenty six-sense masters in their team, many of them are seriously injured and have shown many symptoms of contamination.

They are truly remnant soldiers.

If Xinhuo is the same as described, perhaps he will take them in.

But, will it be the same?

"Don't think too much, just keep moving forward!"

There is no point in resting.

In the inter-regional land... the longer you stay in the area covered by gray fog, the more dangers you will encounter.

Only by reaching your destination as soon as possible can you escape from your current situation.

The convoy kept a moderate speed and moved forward slowly.

The orange-haired woman wanted to go back to the carriage to rest, but suddenly, her expression became serious.

"stop!"

She looked through the gray fog and saw a terrifying figure in the distance.

Two seven-star evil spirits and countless ordinary evil spirits.

Moreover, they have been discovered...!!!

“Sound the alarm!”

The convoy immediately began the simple ceremony.

At the end, a figure shrouded in charm flew over.

This was a middle-aged man, whose aura was stronger than that of the orange-haired girl Yao Yi. However, the man's right arm was broken, and there were tentacles like worms shaking in the crack.

He was also seriously injured.

The two men looked solemn as they left the convoy and flew forward.

Soon, bursts of loud roars were heard from the gray fog in the distance.

The six-sensation masters such as Red Turban looked worried, but they were not qualified to intervene in the battle of the mythical realm. Soon, they had no time to care about anything else, and a group of strange evil waves rushed towards the convoy.

The strong men in the convoy picked up their weapons and stood on the narrow cliff to resist the fierce impact of the evil tide.

The more they resisted, the more their hearts sank.

boom--

A transport vehicle was hit, half of its body was shattered, and it fell into an endless abyss to the side.

A powerful man with six senses and a natural disaster and evil spirit died together.

The fog-removing lights hanging in various places in the convoy went out one by one.

The flame of hope flickers like a candle in the wind.

Even the flames in the distance dimmed, indicating something ominous.

Suddenly,

The distant roar died down.

The awakened ones who were still resisting the evil felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

They looked not far away.

The gray fog rolled, and figures rushed out one after another.

It's human.

"Huh?"

Several mythical figures wearing robes of fire clouds rushed out from the gray fog, and with a wave of their hands, they scattered large swathes of divine light, destroying all the evil that was all around them.

The leading myth stepped forward.

"We are from the Xinhuo Outer Domain Reception Corps. Everyone, do you need any help ?"

…

The pale-faced Yao Yi Shenhua led his team out of the inter-domain and stepped into the large domain full of crystal prisms.

She was still a little dazed, as if she was in a dream.

A crisis of extinction was averted just like that?

The Xinhuo Organization actually has troops stationed in the Inter-Region area? How powerful is this!

Her face was still a little pale at the moment, but she was not at all depressed and was extremely excited.

Her condition has indeed recovered a lot.

Just now, she received a gift from the legend of Xinhuo - a small jar of water of life.

Giving a can of precious water of life to a stranger who had never met before made Yao Yi and the others feel completely relieved. This was the legendary Xinhuo Organization, no doubt about it!

As soon as she left the inter-regional area, she saw another Xinhuo stronghold.

A stronghold stationed at the gate of the space.

The bonfire was burning fiercely, and not even a trace of gray mist remained around it.

Beams of light are swirling at the top of the silvery-white tower.

The thorny brown vines intertwined to form a solid high wall.

The mythical being who sent them here said, "My mission ends here. My colleagues will lead you to the Burning City. Don't worry. We at Xinhuo will not stand by and watch people in trouble die. Of course, if you want to live a good life, you have to rely on your own efforts."

"Start a new life in the City of Fire."

“Oh…Oh.”

The orange-haired woman was in a daze and hadn't come back to her senses yet.

The surviving convoy followed the leader at the stronghold and headed straight for the Burning City.

The rest of the journey was unexpectedly safe for the orange-haired woman.

Although their convoy was large in scale, the number of evil spirits they encountered along the way was not large, and there were even fewer six-star evil spirits.

Falling Star Domain, is it so safe?

No, it is obvious that the awakened ones in this area are powerful, and the number of evil spirits is naturally scarce due to the constant clearing.

The orange-haired woman was still a little confused, her thoughts wandering.

Suddenly, she looked to both sides.

Through the gray fog, she vaguely saw some traces of convoys.

And more and more.

Gradually, a noisy sound came into my ears.

The gray fog seemed to be thinning.

Buzz——

A huge aircraft passed by not far away, gradually lowering its altitude.

Convoy after convoy gathered from all directions.

Traffic, people, airships and boats, a myth like flowing light...
