Chapter 1686 - 1253: Hidden Worries

Less than five seconds after speaking, Tilian, Eternal Emperor Rongka, and Blood Raven Empress Dandi simultaneously appeared here.

"I just returned from the Dragon Star plane and you all happened to arrive just in time," Long Yi said with a smile.

"You went to the Dragon Star plane, did you find anything?" Tilian hurriedly asked.

"Billions of various Dragon Beasts, both large and small. And there is one thing that puzzles me, which I need to ask you about," Long Yi said.

"The thing that puzzles you and that you still need to ask me about must be related to the power of death," Tilian said.

"That’s why I say it’s convenient to talk to smart people!" Long Yi chuckled. "I saw with my own eyes the process of Dragon Beasts being created in the Dragon Star plane. Those Dragon Beasts had a very obvious power of death on them at the time of their birth, but not long after, that power would disappear."

"Indeed," Tilian said, turning to glance at Eternal Emperor Rongka before saying to Long Yi, "This is something Emperor Rongka should explain."

Is Rongka related to this?

At this moment, the ever-composed Rongka seemed somewhat embarrassed as he glanced apologetically at Simu, then turned to Long Yi and said, "Actually, this matter is indeed related to me. Initially, I entered a minor plane above a higher plane, where I found a passage left by the Giants leading to the Divine Realm. I then activated the passage and entered the Divine Realm. By accident, I stumbled upon two powerful gods in battle, and I collected some of their blood left behind. As a result, one god began to hunt me down while the other protected me. Later, I ran into the fleet of Giants."

"Giant fleet?" Long Yi’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, the fleet of the Giants. All the Giants were there," Rongka said.

"In the Divine Realm?"

"No, in the crevice leading from the Divine Realm to the Heavenly Kingdom. The gods from the Divine Realm were continuously attacking the Giant’s fleet, while the Giants were trying to open the gate to the Heavenly Kingdom to escape the pursuit of the gods."

"So, the matter you said you wanted to talk about with me alone last time was this," Long Yi nodded.

"Yes, that’s it. Back then, I wanted to discuss this with you, but then Tilian discovered that those Dragon Beasts carried the power of Hell, so we went to investigate together, and it has continued until now," Rongka said.

"It seems that you have results from the investigation."

"Yes, this is my fault," Rongka said. "If I hadn’t coveted that drop of blood, there probably wouldn’t have been such a mess."

It turned out that when Rongka was sent back from the Divine Realm, he ended up in the wrong location, arriving on the Dragon Star instead. That drop of Divine Blood immediately attracted the attention of the pseudo-god that was entrenched on Dragon Star. By that time, the pseudo-god had already begun trying to create Dragon Beasts. Thus, the pseudo-god immediately sent a Dragon Beast to chase after Rongka, who, having been greatly weakened in the Divine Realm, was no match, and he was gravely injured, barely escaping back to Hell and, with the help of Blood Raven Empress Dandi, he managed to kill the beast.

"However, I suspect that my blood was also obtained by that pseudo-god. She obtained the power of Hell through my blood, and as a result also mastered the power of death. Whenever those Dragon Beasts are killed, nothing will be left immediately, all because of the power of death," Rongka said.

"Well, although it sounds quite convoluted, it doesn’t seem to be that serious," Long Yi said.

"No, actually, the problem is quite serious," Tilian stated.

"How serious could it be?"

"I have always wondered why the Worms keep sending Dragon Beasts to us in batches to die. Initially, I thought they were just testing their weapons. But then I realized I was thinking too simplistically. What those Worms are doing is not merely testing; they are sacrificing."

"Sacrifice? That doesn’t sound like a good word," Long Yi frowned.

"Indeed, we’ve been fiercely killing those Dragon Beasts, watching those enormous monsters wither around us. We thought we were winning, and yes, we did win, but the Worms have also achieved their goal. Because they deliberately sacrificed those Dragon Beasts with the purpose of creating a battlefield steeped in the powers of Hell and death!" Tilian said.

This is a shocking statement!

"But why haven’t we felt any power of Hell or death? Celestial Clan members are most sensitive to such powers, and they did not feel it either," Long Yi said.

"That’s because this power has entered a silent period of death. The power of Hell is different from other powers; if there is nothing to activate it, it will become silent on its own, as if it doesn’t exist at all. Just like now, can you feel the power of Hell or death on us?" Tilian questioned.

The answer is, of course, no, but this is something Long Yi never considered before.

"Alright, so two questions. First, what benefit do the Worms get?"

"Because it is a death zone created through sacrifice, once battle commences, the power of death from those Dragon Beasts will be immediately activated. They will crazily absorb the surrounding power, entering a frenzied state of death, burning their life force to gain immense power boosts! And on the battlefield, saturated with the power of death, our Giant Dragons and Dragon Knights will continuously lose life force, feeling various discomforts, reacting slowly, and losing concentration, as if they were cursed."
