Great Demon Sun Wukong

However, every qualified force still followed the rules and sent only five people into the Fallen Tomb. On one hand, everything was still unclear; everyone knew that the Fallen Tomb would come to an end, but what that end would be, no one knew. They had only reached that conclusion based on the countless pieces of information they had received over time. In fact, each of the superpowers wasn't simple; in the million years since the war of Ancient Times, they had, more or less, learned many truths that were deliberately concealed. Although they didn't know much, they knew enough to make their own plans and choices. Especially the Six Great Divine Nations—they were the ones who knew the most secrets. Among these, Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao knew the most details, so they were the ones who planned scheme after scheme. Some plans succeeded, while others failed, but nonetheless, the two of them, relying on their wits and strength, had become qualified to have a share of the spoils.

Netherworld World

In front of Yue Huangquan stood the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Hei Kui, Flame God, and Star Sinker. Yes, there were only these four people. Together with Yue Huangquan, they were the ones chosen by the Netherworld World to enter the Fallen Tomb this time. As for others, they no longer had the right to participate. The universe now was actually no longer whole, so the original rule of the Law Enforcers—that this universe could accommodate at most a Nine Lives Heavenly Venerate—had already fallen apart on its own. The universe now was like the Pangu Realm had been; the balance of the Heavenly Dao was lost. The Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Realm had been destroyed by man, while the rules of the universe had been shattered as a result of that great war of Ancient Times. In fact, the number of Heavenly Venerates in the universe had long exceeded the number nine.

All four people now standing in front of Yue Huangquan were at the realm of Heavenly Venerates. What's more, they were all of the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade, which meant that this battle belonged to the Heavenly Venerates—below them, all were ants. Among them, Yue Huangquan had long since become a Heavenly Venerate, only always concealing his strength, while Hei Kui had reached the realm of Heavenly Venerate thanks to the self-sacrifice of Wu Ming. Flame God, on the other hand, had succeeded in fusing with the ninth of the World Suppressing Stele's Burning Fire. Not only that, but in the eighty years that followed, Flame God had undergone all kinds of hardships and finally used the Fire-Seeking Needle he once got from Yue Huangquan to find the origin of fire, the Nine Heavens Pure Fire. Taking the Nine Heavens Pure Fire as the core, he integrated all of his flames and finally reached the Burst Phoenix Clan's highest realm: everything can explode. With that, his strength also smoothly ascended to that of a Heavenly Venerate.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero, meanwhile, had become a Heavenly Venerate by fully fusing the Power of the Stars he obtained from Ling Weiyang. Furthermore, after fifty years of arduous training, he finally comprehended the True Essence of the Sword, creating his own immeasurable Star Sword technique. With this sword technique and the comprehension of the True Essence of the Sword, Rogue Heart Sword Hero's combat power surged. Now, he was a true Sword Hero—his sword was his all, and his all was solely the sword. As for Star Sinker, like Yue Huangquan, she was also a Heavenly Venerate strong practitioner. In fact, among the Six Great Divine Nations that remained of the original Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, the Domain Lords were all of Heavenly Venerate cultivation; otherwise, they couldn't have remained unscathed after experiencing so many events. Realms like the suppressed Dominion of Soil, Blue Water Realm, and Li Fire Realm had been annihilated precisely because they lacked Heavenly Venerate strong practitioners to stand guard.

"This time, it should be the last," Yue Huangquan said. "No matter what the final outcome is, everything will end. The conspiracies and schemes lasting a million years have finally come to an end. So today, I will tell you everything I know, and let you realize what you are fighting for. As for my origins, I suppose you are very clear that I was born in the Netherworld World after the war of Ancient Times, which makes my history the least significant among the Six Great Divine Nations. But what I know is no less than what others know. This time, we are to enter the Fallen Tomb, and you know the peril of the Fallen Tomb—a place where death is a near certainty. And with all the forces converging this time, it is even more dangerously unpredictable, yet we cannot shy away. We still must go!"

"From what I've learned over this million-year period, the war of Ancient Times actually had some issues. Although I still don't know exactly what those issues are, they definitely don't agree with the known history. I have a good relationship with the Crimson Army, and its leader Ziling once told me that the Crimson Army and the Genesis Divine Nation had once done something big, a matter that shook the entire universe, and because of which, the Li Fire Realm of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms was implicated. That is, the Pioneer's body was stolen. Indeed, it was the Crimson Army who stole the Pioneer's body and handed over the stolen body to Pangu of the Genesis Divine Nation. With my help, we separated a part of Pangu's soul and fused it into the Pioneer's body. Originally, we planned to find a place to hide the Pioneer's body and keep it as a killer move for the future. However, we found it was impossible to find such a hiding place. So Pangu thought of a method, which was to fuse the Pioneer's body into a world."

"For their Chaotic Giant Clan, this method couldn't be simpler. Pangu went to the edge of the universe and found a small world that was forming. Using the Divine Skills of the Chaotic Giant Clan, he accelerated the emergence of that small world. When that world was born, Pangu placed the Pioneer's body into the newly formed world. Since the body of the Pioneer contained a part of Pangu's soul, it was in essence Pangu. Pangu slowly fused the Pioneer's body with that world using a Secret Technique. The world that had been merged with the Pioneer's body is the Pangu Realm where Sun Wukong resides. And the legend of Pangu in their world creating heaven and earth, that's how it started. What we didn't expect, though, was that even though the Pioneer's body was completely integrated into that world, his heart wasn't. Instead, it turned into the Five-Colored Divine Stone. And after many coincidences and inevitabilities, whether intentional or not, the Five-Colored Divine Stone gave birth to a spirit of wit, which is Sun Wukong."
