A giant black hole emerged in the chaos like a black eye, profoundly unknown. Endless power surrounded, the power of destruction. It seemed like the world was collapsing and the earth was about to fall apart.
This was an incomparably bizarre scene and it was also a place of crisis. Cultivators of the Heavenly Realm could feel the endless pressure when they were near, and those below Heavenly Realm would definitely be shattered by the overflowing turbulence of Wisdom!
Gu Debai, Yun Qianshan, and the rest were hovering in front of this black hole, each thinking a different thought and sporting a different expression.
“Brother Debai, don’t you want to enter the third dimension? You do know that there’s an abundance of Origins there, right?” asked Yun Qianshan suddenly.
“Of course, I’m going!” Gu Debai smirked. It was apparent he had already made up his mind. “Back then, some of our clan members entered the third dimension and are still trapped there. This will be a happy reunion for us. Heck, they might even have accomplished what they had set out to do.”
Yun Qianshan frowned and fell into hesitation. A monster behind him suddenly piped up, “I want to go to the third dimension, too. I want to seek for my ancestor who went in to avenge us many years ago!”
The monster had a pair of black horns growing on its head and its face was full of grief and anger. It was a member of the Divine Chaos Sheep clan. Back then, their ancestor was already a Wisdom Elite, so he might even be a second-step Wisdom Elite if he had gotten some Origins in the third dimension. Their ancestor would definitely be able to avenge those who had been turned into game meat.
“Our ancestor’s there, too, so I’m going to the third dimension as well!” said another demon with a body full of black feathers. It was a Chaos Three-legged Crow.
“Me, too! Selling out my team members will be a humiliation I have to carry for the rest of my life. I’ll stop at nothing to avenge them!” said an old Cow Demon.
Lord Angel looked at them and shook his head. ‘Where are all your filial piety? How can you sell out your ancestors as game meat?’
“How about you, Brother Qianshan?” asked Gu Debai.
Yun Qianshan shook his head and said, “I’m not going.”
‘Why would I follow you all to look for your ancestors? Besides, I’ll be in a precarious situation once you’ve found them,’ thought Yun Qianshan.
“You’re a scaredy-cat, just as I expected,” said Gu Debai coldly.
He looked at the portal and his mana began to surge. “Eldritchs, follow me into the third dimension!” He then entered the portal while keeping an eye on the turbulent Wisdom current.
“Let’s go!” The demons’ eyes narrowed and their mana also surged as they rushed into the portal one after another. Soon, only a few people such as Yun Qianshan and Lord Angel were left.
“Haha, how stupid can they get? The third dimension’s chaotic and full of unknown risks. It’s not worthwhile for me to go there. Now that the Eldritchs are gone, I can have all the Origins of the seventh dimension to myself! Although the Origins aura is still weak, with consistency comes great victory!” said Yun Qianshan coldly.
Before, the Eldritchs had cut off their Origins trail before stealing it. Therefore, he should grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with two hands. He suddenly had a yearning for the Origins when he recalled its deliciousness. He had not eaten it for a long time, so he really missed it.
Then, he looked at Lord Angel and said, “Brother Tianhua, you’re also very smart for choosing to stay here. Why not join me in stealing the seventh dimension’s Origins?”
The corner of Lord Angel’s mouth twitched as he said, “Thank you so much, but I can’t bear the smell of the Origins, so I’m giving it a pass.”
“You’re too shallow. It’s just the smell. How can you prove that you’ve attained Wisdom in such a state of mind? Take some time to think it over. I’ll save you some just in case,” lectured Yun Qianshan.
“Thank you,” said Lord Angel sincerely.
Then, Yun Qianshan excitedly went to prepare for his great cause of stealing Origins while Lord Angel rushed toward the Area of the Gods. His expression changed when he was near the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
He could feel the endless Wisdom swirling about in the sky. Looking from a distance, the sky above the Fallen Immortal Mountain was intertwined with rich Wisdom ripples. He could even vaguely sense the Origins aura in the area rising.
“Gosh! The expert must be offering great fortunes again. I can’t believe I missed his party! Gah! I’m so mad that I think I’m about to go crazy.” He quickly flapped his fleshy wings to increase his speed and with a whoosh, he instantly arrived at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
At this time, the sky was dim and everyone had eaten and drank enough. They were packing up the leftovers and chatting. Li Nianfan had already gone back to the four-part architecture with Daji and Fire Phoenix. It was only natural that the rest would not let him do the dirty work of cleaning up.
Lord Angel twitched his nose, smelling the fragrant smell of food and the Origins aura in the air. His face flushed with anxiety and his hair stood on ends. ‘Animals! You’re all animals! Why didn’t you leave me some?”
He swept his eyes across the scene and discovered that the Jade Emperor and others were still packing. He rushed over immediately. “Give me all those leftovers! I’ll fight whoever that dares to take it away from me!” He then picked up the pot and began to drink from it.
The Jade Emperor was very fair and immediately said, “Everyone, stop what you’re doing. Let Brother Tianhua have his fill since he’s here.”
“Brother Tianhua, don’t worry. There’s still some sauce and meat left. You can start the hotpot again if you want,” said Yang Jing who was lying in the chair and stroking a Deified Dog. His aura was much stronger than before. Wisdom could be seen to have manifested around him. This was because he had just broken through and had not mastered his new powers yet.
In addition to Yang Jing, Goddess Nuwa, Cultivator Junjun, and the Jade Emperor had all officially entered the realm of Wisdom Elite. Xiao Chengfeng, Jiang Liu, and the others were a half-step away from being Wisdom Elites. They just needed to train a little more.
“You dogs! I was the only one who was doing my best to serve the expert while all of you ate and drank here. I despise you for your sudden progress in cultivation!” said Lord Angel as he scarfed down the food.
Everyone’s expressions changed and they immediately gathered around him. “What’s wrong? Has there been any new development?”
“If only I had some sesame sauce to dip the meat in,” said Lord Angel profoundly.
“Coming right up!” Cultivator Junjun passed him a plate of sesame sauce and said, “Try this.”
“Hmm, not bad.” Lord Angel nodded and then said, “I’m so busy with the hotpot and the grill. You have to forgive me if I forget things easily.”
“Don’t be a stranger, Brother Tianhua. I’ll grill the food for you!” said Yang Jing immediately.
“Let us know if you want anything else, Brother Tianhua. We’ll make sure to serve you well,” said the Jade Emperor.
“Don’t push your luck. Tell us what you discovered,” said Xiao Chengfeng.
Lord Angel wolfed down the meat and said, “Do you all remember the big commotion that happened previously? Do you know what actually happened?”
“We wouldn’t need to ask you if we knew. Tell us everything now!” said Jiang Liu.
Lord Angel smiled enigmatically, and then, he solemnly said, “The portal to the third dimension has been opened.”
“Portal?”
“To the third dimension?”
Everyone was shocked.
“You may not know this, but both the third dimension and its Origins are already shattered. They’re isolated from the other dimensions. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any portals connecting to the third dimension at all. However, some variables must’ve occurred as a portal leading to the third dimension has just opened up in the seventh dimension. I’m sure it’s the work of a person with great magical powers!”
“I bet the expert did it,” said the Jade Emperor without hesitation.
“Yes, it’s definitely Master. The expert painted a drawing and stamped it with the big stamp composed of the Origins of the third dimension. It was also at that time that the variables in the Chaos occurred,” said Shi Tuqin. Even now, her voice was filled with awe and shock when she recalled what happened that day.
The painting had been given to her by Li Nianfan. At that time, she was really struggling to comprehend it, but after having the self-service hotpot and barbecue, she had reached the edge of the second-step Wisdom Elite and could somewhat understand the painting now.
‘Sure enough, it’s the expert!’ The look on everyone’s faces showed no surprise.
“There must be a profound reason as to why the expert opened up the portal to the third dimension. Do you think he wants us to go into the third dimension?” said Cultivator Junjun seriously.
“Maybe there’s something there that he wants,” said Yang Jing.
“I know, I know! Brother Li’s all about fertilizing the plants right now. He would sigh every time he goes to the backyard,” said Nanan.
Qin Manyun’s eyes lit up suddenly. “There are only two things when it comes to fertilizer. One, is the manure from the demons and two, is the wood ash that Master mentioned the other day.”
“That means the expert needs demons and wood ash!” said the Jade Emperor.
Goddess Nuwa sighed and said, “Master’s game animals are all dead now and we’re to blame for it. We must find a way to make it up to him!”
“Then we have no choice but to go to the third dimension to hunt some demons. The demons from the fourth dimension went to the third dimension to seek for their ancestors to avenge them,” said Lord Angel with a smile.
“The wood ash might be there, too, since Brother Li was the one who opened up the portal!” said Dragin excitedly.
Everyone suddenly felt bright and were all smiles. They were happy to have understood what the expert wanted them to do. This way they could better share his burden.
“Let’s make some preparations. The third dimension’s too chaotic. We shouldn’t bring too many people over so only the best of the best should go. Therefore, only those who are half-step Wisdom Elites and above can register to go,” said Cultivator Junjun solemnly.
Meanwhile, in the third dimension, time and space were distorted, Wisdom was circulating about, and the roars were constant. Gu Debai and the others stepped out of the emerging vortex.
They first glanced at this dead dimension and their expressions were slightly changed by the aura of destruction there. Although they had guessed what the third dimension would look like, what greeted them was far more terrible than whatever they could ever imagine. The third dimension seemed to be filled with a weird aura. It made their hair stand and filled them with uneasiness.
“Oh no! The portal has…disappeared!” Gu Debai’s expression changed suddenly. Everyone’s pupils suddenly shrank into a line when they turned their heads. “The portal’s a one-way passage! We can only come here but we won’t be able to leave!” he said in a trembling voice.
“How can this be? How will we ever go back?” asked Gu Lie with shock.
“Are we going to be trapped here forever, too?”
“No! I shouldn’t have come at all!”
“This is the first time I’ve come across a one-way portal!”
Everyone scanned their surroundings grudgingly, even more at a loss. Suddenly, a mighty aura emerged from all directions and it seemed that there were many strong fighters peeping at them. Then, they each showed themselves. They were shocked and overjoyed when they saw Gu Debai and the others.
“Ah, this explains the commotion. Something huge has definitely occurred!”
“Finally, some new blood, but how’s this possible?!”
“Haha, does this mean we have a chance at leaving this place?”
“Although it’s only a one-way portal, it’s definitely better than nothing!”
“Weren’t all the portals destroyed? How did they come here?”
The aura of this group of people locked on Gu Debai and his group. They were shocked to discover that the people in the third dimension were all Wisdom Elites. Even Gu Debai became a little scared when he sensed some of the auras that belonged to second-step Wisdom Elites.
They were agitated and were prepared to fight any time. Suddenly, someone in the group asked, “Are you from the Eldritch clan?”
Gu Debai was slightly stunned. He followed the voice and was happy to see his old friend. “Brother Gu Ai!”
“Gu Debai? Gu Lie? You guys came, too! Come over to me now!” Gu Ai laughed and then said, “They’re from the same clan as I am so don’t anyone dare lay a finger on them.”
Everyone immediately retracted their auras from Gu Debai. The fact that Gu Ai was still alive in the third dimension was a testament to his power. No one would dare offend them since both Gu Debai and Gu Lie were second-step Wisdom Elites. too.
“Are you from the Chaos Divine Sheep clan?” asked another voice suddenly. It was a thin old man with double horns and a goatee.
“Ancestor?” The Chaos Divine Sheep demons suddenly trembled as they looked at their ancestor with teary eyes. They all rushed over and cried, “Ancestor, you really are still alive. We’ve been badly bullied!”
“Chaos Three-legged Crows, come to me!” Another voice was heard, making the Chaos Three-legged Crow demons excited. They flapped their wings and rushed over to the speaker.
“Greetings, ancestor!” they said piously.
After that, only a small group of people were left standing where they were. They seemed so helpless and weak.
“Where’s the ancestor of that group of people? Step forward now!” said someone sinisterly.
However, silence blanketed the place.
“Tsk tsk tsk, looks like their ancestor’s no good at all.”
“Oh well. Let’s capture them and peek into their souls to see where they came from and what happened exactly!”
