What happened in Chapter 1681?
Guided by Gobelin Arost, Sun Ying, whose mind had gone blank, quickly passed through layers of defenses and stepped into a small teleportation array.
Then came another stretch of road, and another teleportation array.
After repeating this several times, she finally ventured into the heart of the territory.
For the first half of the journey, Sun Ying was still trying to assess the size of the entire territory.
But halfway through, they discovered several other identical flesh and blood statues standing in other directions.
She gave up.
The sheer size of the Gobelins territory far exceeded her expectations!
It's less of a territory and more of a small country!
So much so that, in the end, she had a strange thought—
Is this endless forest a one-to-one clone of the Demon Realm?
Otherwise, where would the space come from to accommodate such a large territory!
"Here we are."
Arost's voice came from ahead, pulling Sun Ying back to reality from her dazed thoughts.
She looked ahead in the direction of the sound and saw Gobelins, who had been leading the way, once again bend his straight back.
Their devotion was greater than ever before.
"Lady Evelina, Ms. Sun Ying has arrived."
Sun Ying's gaze continued forward, and soon settled on that familiar figure.
For a moment, she felt her vision become somewhat blurry.
It's not that there's something wrong with my eyes,
Rather, it was certain unseen rules that affected her vision.
"Gods should not be looked at directly..."
A related thought suddenly popped into Sun Ying's mind.
"You've worked hard, Arost," Evelina said softly, her tone conveying a sense of comfort and relaxation.
"To be able to relieve Lady Evelina's worries is the greatest honor of Arost's life!" Arost's voice trembled slightly as he responded devoutly.
"Then I won't disturb your reminiscing any longer, sir. I'll take my leave now."
"Give my regards to Mitt," Evelina said with a slight smile, her tone calm.
“Father will be overjoyed to know that you miss him.” Arost bent down a few more degrees, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave.
"It's so good to see you're alright." Evelyna looked at Sun Ying, her mesmerizing eyes filled with nostalgia and joy.
At this moment, Sun Ying also adapted to the blurriness in front of her and felt that facing Evelina was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
She figured out the whole story in no time.
But the questions I wanted to ask, the words I wanted to say, all got stuck in my throat at that moment.
Ultimately, it all boils down to one sentence:
"what happened……"
……
This world.
Hot star field.
Overlord Star, Sulfuras.
Black Stone Palace.
"what happened?!"
Pan Xiaoxiao looked at the flames constantly spewing from the obsidian door and spoke to Gobering Kurgon.
The latter simply steadied his hat to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind, and calmly replied:
"No need to panic."
"It's just that some people have been locked up for too long and suddenly smelled the scent of freedom, so they got a little excited."
"Uh...really?" Pan Xiaoxiao was still a little unsure.
Judging by the timeline, the Obsidian Gate should be fully open soon.
If Ragnar's situation is not as peaceful as Kurgun described, she needs to prepare for a potential confrontation.
"More real than real gold, don't worry!" Kurgun replied confidently.
"If anything unexpected happens, aren't there still so many elite warriors and a chosen one of the God of Slaughter to keep things in order?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Xiaoxiao turned to look at Li Luo.
Only after noticing the emerald green worm-eaten tooth dancing in the woman's palm did he utter a single sentence:
"Too……"
As soon as he finished speaking, the heat wave surging from the obsidian door rose to a terrifying temperature!
A phantom-like spirit, seemingly composed entirely of azure flames, shot straight out from the crevice, letting out a joyful roar that resonated between heaven and earth:
"Finally—out—it—!!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it circled in the air ten times before slowly descending.
Upon seeing the crowd below, the azure-blue soul simply swept its light over the nine brocade-booted warriors.
His gaze lingered on Li Luo's face, who was holding the emerald green worm tooth, for about two seconds, then swept over Pan Xiaoxiao, Murphy, and Rahm before finally landing on Gobelin, who was short and the least noticeable.
Ragnar squinted and recalled for a moment, then spoke with delight:
"I remember you! You're Balgon! Isn't that right?"
"The pinnacle of strength in the Gobelins, General Balgon!"
Kurgun twitched the corner of his mouth, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said:
"That's my dad."
“I am the son of Balgon, Kurgon.”
"If my father knew that Ragnar, the Flame Mad King whose name once resounded throughout the entire universe, still cared so much about him, he would be very happy."
“No wonder he has the air of an old friend, it turns out he is the son of an old friend…” Ragnar nodded in realization, still looking cheerful.
One was Goberlin, the other a soul; they exchanged words naturally.
But this left the generals who had been guarding the entrance to the Black Stone Palace dumbfounded.
Especially the two Crystal Clan warriors who had previously tried to stop Pan Xiaoxiao and the others from approaching the Black Stone Palace.
Although they were both young and had not witnessed Ragnar being sealed in the underground palace,
But in their minds, Ragnar's soul should be incredibly deranged.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to forcibly separate from that body and seal it in the Black Stone Palace.
Why have you become so kind and approachable now that you've been released?
After a century of reform through labor, do you think you'll change your ways and start anew after being released?
Ragnar didn't leave people wondering for long.
After exchanging a few words with Kurgun, he murmured to himself:
"I almost forgot, I no longer have the authority to kill, so merging with this body again shouldn't cause any mental confusion..."
"Kurgun, wait for me a moment, let me summon my body first."
Although this soliloquy did not directly answer the questions in everyone's minds...
However, it still provides a side explanation for why Ragnar was able to regain his sanity.
"So Ragnar went mad because he gained the power to kill?"
Pan Xiaoxiao muttered something to herself, quickly overturning the perception she had already formed in her mind.
She had always believed that it was Kaido Ivanov, the Red-Haired Beast King, who was far away on Earth, who had obtained the authority to wage war, which was why Ragnar's soul had come back to its senses from its madness.
Now it seems that the situation is far more complicated than imagined?
"If killing and war coexist, it will drive people mad..."
"What Li Luo said earlier, that once Kaido's condition stabilizes and he accumulates enough divinity to enter the realm of gods, the war to become a god will begin... Isn't that just pushing herself down the same path as Ragnar's madness?!"
"No! I have to find a way to stop her..."
Thinking of this, Pan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at the woman beside her.
But when her eyes met those scarlet eyes, she hesitated.
