“Big Dragon will be refreshed in three hours. It’s estimated that the Human Clan will soon send troops too. What if Du Gang appears again?”

At this moment, it was still the same group of demons, except this time, they became aware of Du Gang’s identity.

As demons, although they could not directly go to the Primordial Continent, they were well-acquainted with it.

Over the years, the Human Clan has learned the language of the Demon Clan, and naturally, the Demon Clan has also mastered the language of the Human Clan.

Furthermore, each abyss has a level cap which restricts the entry of the powerful, creating some conditions for covert communication between the two clans.

If anyone offered some resources in exchange for information, there were plenty of people willing to make the deal.

The Human and Demon Clans had been at war for many years, and neither side could gain the upper hand. This gave some people the audacity to disregard the rivalry between the two Clans and secretly leak information about the Human Clan.

Not only that, but the Human Clan also had its own intelligence department dedicated to acquiring information about the Demons.

On the Demon side, they knew Du Gang’s name, which implied that someone had recently betrayed the Ancient City’s latest intelligence.

“Then send in two hundred men!”

Again, it was the young demon leader who spoke up first.

“Di Junneng, won’t this have an impact on the front line?”

Di Junneng chuckled, saying, “What’s there to fear? We’ve been continuously suppressing them at the front line, sending in two hundred fewer soldiers means nothing!”

Upon hearing this, the other demons said nothing more.

On the Demon side, there were strict hierarchies, and the lower-ranked had to obey the higher-ranked.

Di Junneng was the highest-ranking individual present, so, even if something went wrong, he would be the one to take the blame.

Two hundred lower-ranking demons quickly asked, “So, how should we handle him? Do we gang up on him, or…”

Di Junneng shook his head, smiled, and said, “No need to fight him. Since this guy has the ability to teleport, we don’t need to pay him any attention. You two hundred go and seize the essence. After that, stick together…”

He already knew that Du Gang was the same guy who previously showed up in their chicken coop. So, he didn’t believe that these demons could kill him.

Ancient God…

He chewed over the thought twice in his heart but said nothing more in the end.

Upon hearing his words, the others rapidly said their goodbyes and ran into the pit where Big Dragon was.

After they left, someone frowned and asked, “‘That Du Gang, are we really going to just ignore him?”

“I heard that Du Gang has Ancient God blood and is a successor of a Supreme. If we let him grow, it won’t be good for us…”

Di Junneng nodded, smiling, “Yes, we should kill him. But, it’s difficult to do so in the first layer of the abyss…

“Here, the strength limit is restricted, making it difficult to kill him…”

“But in the second layer of the abyss, there are plenty who can kill him!”

Saying this, Di Junneng let out a cold laugh.

In the first layer of the abyss, there are limits on the number of Second or Third Tribulation divine spirits, meaning the means to kill Du Gang are limited. However, in the second layer of the abyss, it’s a different story.

There are many Second or Third Tribulation divine spirits that can kill godlings. That will be his end…

“Du Gang only needs the third-tier essence now…”

“The essence dropped by Big Dragon will be collected by him, and once it’s fully gathered, I will kill him in the second layer of the abyss!”

Hearing this, everyone else remained silent. The second layer of the abyss was far away from them, unlike Di Junneng who had returned from there.

Both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan issued summoning orders to bring people back from the second layer of the abyss.

The Human Clan’s summoning area in the wild was still the gathering spot, as one resurrected powerhouse after another flocked there.

“How do we fight now?”

Qin Jingshuo and the others looked at each other, silent.

Before the fight, everyone had been full of confidence, thinking that this was a good opportunity for them to make merit.

Who knew that even with the enemy splitting their forces, they would still end up victorious.

“The Demon Clan has split their forces with controllers going for Big Dragon, and yet they still bested us!”

Qin Jingshuo was also getting agitated. He was the strongest among them and acted as the new temporary commander, but it seemed to be getting difficult.

Yao Anfu smiled faintly and said, “How about we summon those monsters from the third layer of the abyss back?!”

He didn’t bother being patient anymore. Now that Qin Jingshuo had arrived, Yao Anfu’s shine had been eclipsed. Even if everyone wanted to mock someone, it would be Qin Jingshuo.

“Humph!”

Qin Jingshuo snorted coldly and said, “We’re not losing. Why should we summon them?!”

As someone who had returned from the second layer of the abyss, if they still couldn’t handle the situation with his help, it would be a ridiculous shame.

As if deliberately provoking him, Yao Anfu lightly laughed and said, “If the ones from the third layer were willing to come back, the situation would be a lot easier to handle…”

The third layer of the abyss was different from the first two. In the first two, no matter how much they were restricted, the strongest were still only in their Third Tribulation.

But in the third layer, there were Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Tribulation divine spirits.

Although most of them were in their Fourth Tribulation, no First Tribulation divine spirits in there were simple. All of them were powerful to a terrifying extent.

Qin Jingshuo stared at Yao Anfu for a few moments, but eventually refrained from saying anything more.

Three hours passed in a flash, and at the moment Big Dragon died, Du Gang initiated the teleport.

This time, he chose the location on the Red Earth farthest from the crowd again.

“Hehe, I’m back!”

He laughed, quickly began picking up the essence.

However, he noticed that these demons didn’t seem to care about him, and after seeing him, they didn’t show any emotions or actions, just continued to pick up the essence.

“Hmm?”

Du Gang was taken aback, had these guys backed off?

He was planning to drag it out and use up the remaining eighty-some teleports since the teleportation could definitely only be used in the first layer of the abyss.

“They actually stopped bothering with me?”

Seeing this, Du Gang immediately activated his Jie-Character Secret, elevating his speed tenfold, and then began collecting the essence.

This time, even when all the essence on the Red Earth was completely gone, the demons did not attack again.

Even though their eyes were filled with greed and anger when they looked at Du Gang, no one took action.

“That’s too little!”

This time, even though no one disturbed him and no one tried to kill him, he ended up getting less essence than the last time.

The main reason was that the last time, everyone was too busy chasing him, resulting in him gathering more essence.

But this time, even though he had ten times the speed, one man’s effort simply could not match two hundred others.

Using up the entire ten seconds of the Jie-Character Secret, he only managed to obtain sixty essences!

Compared to the last time when he directly obtained five hundred essences, this time he fell short by a factor of seven to eight.

At this moment, the other members of the Demon Clan had all gathered together, staring coldly at Du Gang.

“Come and hit me then!”

Seeing this scene, Du Gang couldn’t help but provoke them.

The number of essences he obtained this time was too meager, making him somewhat tempted to snatch the essences from their hands.

Unfortunately, there was a language barrier between the two sides. Despite knowing that Du Gang might have said something provocative, the Demon Clan members all remained unmoved, none of them showing the slightest sign of dispersing.

“Never mind…”

Du Gang sighed, feeling helpless, and decided to give up and slowly bide his time.

Returning to the altar, he absorbed all sixty essences within a minute.

While staying at the altar, Du Gang contemplated, but ultimately gave up the plan to join the battle.

If there were no enemies among the crowd, he would have been able to participate. But now with hidden enemies around, there was no need. If someone had a method to attack the gods and killed him by surprise, it would be a loss greater than any potential gain.

So, for the time being, aside from grabbing some essences when Big Dragon respawns, Du Gang spent the rest of his time immersed in the cultivation of the Supreme Technique.

The battle between the human and demon races at the Big Dragon pit lasted much longer than Du Gang had anticipated.

A whole month passed, and the human side had yet to secure control of the Big Dragon pit.

The battle had evolved from small-scale operations at the beginning to large-scale group duels now.

Unable to defeat the Demon Clan, the human race began to attack other wild demon territories, simultaneously clearing out the wandering demons in the river paths.

The Demon Clan, naturally, wouldn’t tolerate this without retaliation. If you dared to steal from my chicken pen, I dared to raid your Wolf Forest.

Hence, the flames of war not only spread around the Big Dragon pit but also had extended across the entire first layer of the abyss, causing chaos in the lower half of the wild zone.

In the beginning, both sides showed restraint, with only those below the Destroyer level involved in the battle. However, later, as stronger combatants from one side joined, the other side, unwilling to be outdone, stirred up the chaos in the lower half of the wild zone.

After a month of cultivation, Du Gang managed to reach the maximum absorption of the third level essences.

By now, he had completely absorbed all the resources in the first layer of the abyss.

“Six thousand Naer divine powers now!”

A slight smile appeared on Du Gang’s face. He had made remarkable progress in a month. He had not only surpassed six thousand Naer in divine power but also achieved a cultivation progress of 1.01% in the Supreme Technique ‘World Creation’. Although it sounded like a marginal increase of 0.01%, it had actually opened up a path for him.

He found the breakthrough that could boost his cultivation progress towards 2%, overcoming most of the challenges encountered in cultivating the Supreme Technique. The most difficult part of cultivating the Supreme Technique was progressing from zero to one, and he had successfully made it through this phase.

Next, the progression from one to two would be generally smooth apart from some minor hurdles.

“So, where should I go next?”

Du Gang squinted his eyes, reflecting on his next step. He had maxed out his divine power earning capacity in the first layer, but he still had more than fifty chances to teleport via the altar. He wasn’t eager to let these opportunities go to waste.

Should he go back to check on the situation?

He hadn’t returned to the ground since the large-scale battle at the Big Dragon pit broke out.

“I guess I’ll go back and take a look!”

Having made up his mind, Du Gang didn’t hesitate. He swiftly left the ruins and headed towards the entrance.

Before leaving, he had specifically checked the virtual map and found a path where he wouldn’t encounter others.

Swiftly, without any hiccups, he easily returned to the ground.

There was a stream of people on the sloping path leading from the first layer of abyss to the surface. The entire path was bustling with activity.

This level of activity was not commonplace in the past, but the current large-scale battle had sparked such liveliness.

However, the number of people headed from the surface to the abyss was even greater. These people were basically hurrying to the abyss right after being resurrected.

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

A team of people, while dashing, continuously urged each other on to speed up. If Du Gang hadn’t known that they were on their way to join the heat of the battle, he would have thought they were hurrying to a feast.

Soon, Du Gang returned to the surface and finally got to learn the current situation.

“One Demon Clan corpse for two hundred divine crystals?”

“Not just that!”

Ying Qing chuckled: “This time, if your physical body gets destroyed, you can resurrect for free at the military …”

As soon as Du Gang arrived on the surface, he ran into Ying Qing and his group. All five of them had just been resurrected, clearly having encountered a formidable opponent and suffering a group annihilating defeat.

He quickly asked: “So, demon clan corpses of any level of cultivation can do?”

“Of course!”

Ying Qing replied with a laugh: “As long as it’s a First Tribulation divine spirit’s corpse, it’s worth two hundred divine crystals, but only before the end of the summoning order…”

Although the summoning order had been released passively this time, everyone had benefited quite a bit from it.

Some even suspected that the main reason the human race couldn’t defeat the Demon Clan was because they wanted to profit from this summoning order.

Understanding this, Du Gang asked: “Do you know when it’s likely to end?”

“Soon!”

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Ying Qing said: “You, I don’t know where you disappeared to, but you actually missed this grand occasion…”

After expressing his exclamation, he explained: “The summoning order has been released for almost a month now. The military is becoming impatient and is considering recalling the powerful ones from the Third Layer of Abyss…”

“The Third Layer of Abyss?!”

Du Gang was stunned. The Third Layer of Abyss, wasn’t that the dwelling place for four, five, six Tribulation divine spirits?

Ying Qing affirmed: “Yes, you heard it right. We, the human race, have some talents possessing immense power and aptitude. During their First Tribulation divine spirit stage, they had already proceeded to the Third Layer of Abyss!”

Listening to this, Du Gang was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that there were people who had ventured into the Third Layer of Abyss during their First Tribulation divine spirit stage. This implied that they could face off against four Tribulation divine spirits of the Demon Clan. This was simply terrifying!

“Nevermind, we need to hurry and kill more members of the demon race…”

Unable to continue suppressing their urge to plunge into the abyss, Ying Qing and his team bid Du Gang goodbye and hurried into the abyss once more.

Just like them, everyone on the road hurried past, their faces all brimming with joy.

It was clear that everyone had reaped considerable rewards from this battle.

Watching their rushed appearances, Du Gang couldn’t help but take a few steps towards the abyss himself, but he quickly stopped.

“Should I stroll around and let those people know that I’m back?!”

With a gleam in his eyes, he was certain that there were other people back in the ruins who held grudges against him, besides the ones he had killed.

Since he was out anyway, why not kill a few more of these people?

Putting thought into action, Du Gang headed towards the Communication Zone again, not really planning to go there, but because it was near where they resurrected their bodies, he hoped to be seen by those who wished him ill…
