"Lord Demon God."
The demon scout reported, "A castle appeared at the site of the anomaly, but it was quickly shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see what was inside."
"A castle? What castle? Look closely! What's inside the castle? Are they humans or our people?"
"This... I didn't see it clearly. The castle was very tall, and the fog came too suddenly. I dare not approach and alert the enemy."
"Okay, you may leave."
The demon god felt uneasy, which is why he didn't go to check the situation himself, but instead sent a scout.
Now that a strange castle and mist have appeared, he is even more hesitant to make any rash moves.
"Let's inform His Majesty the Demon Emperor first and follow his orders."
He also dared not act rashly. If he did well, there might be no reward, but if he suffered losses, he might be punished.
The Star Demon God has the ability to foresee the future. Even if there are powerful enemies in that so-called castle, with the Star Demon God around, at least they can be prepared in advance.
Since their arrival on the Holy Demon Continent, the Demon Race has swept across the land, occupying most of the continent and developing an arrogant and overbearing personality.
However, this demon god was cautious and always had a bad feeling, which made him subconsciously afraid to approach places with spatial fluctuations.
At Exorcism Pass, the leaders of the garrison legion were also holding a meeting to discuss the reasons for the demons' retreat and the unusual activity reported from outside the pass.
"Has the person we sent to investigate not returned yet?"
"Although the demons retreated, they didn't go too far. That direction is a key area that the demons are guarding, and it's difficult for our people to get close."
"Continue to send people to investigate the situation thoroughly. Also, immediately notify the major temples. It's still hard to say whether the anomaly is good or bad, but at least we need to be prepared."
"yes."
Just as both the demons and the humans of Exorcism Pass were filled with doubt and uncertainty about the arrival of the Soul Palace Fortress, Qiu Tian's condition inside the fortress was somewhat off.
"Lord, I find something strange."
As soon as Qiu Tian opened his mouth, Xiao Mu noticed his problem.
Qiu Tian's own power is increasing. Although he used pills, he is still some distance away from completely breaking through the million-year mark.
Furthermore, he is also attempting to transform his own power into divine power, and to try to deeply understand and master the power of laws. This is a qualitative improvement, which also requires time.
Now, Qiu Tian's power is actually increasing on its own initiative, not in a qualitative way, but in a continuous advance towards a million years.
How do you feel about yourself?
"I feel like the bottleneck to becoming a god has disappeared. I no longer need to slowly comprehend the Dao and experience the power of the laws. As long as I follow the increase of power, I can naturally become a god."
"But at the same time, I also have a sense of crisis. As my own power increases, I feel like I am about to disappear. It seems that when I become a god, even my physical body will disappear."
Xiao Mu nodded in agreement.
The biggest difference between the Divine Seal Throne plane and the Douluo Continent plane lies in this: the Abyss plane is not governed by the God Realm of Douluo Continent.
Those who become gods in the Divine Seal Throne will not ascend to the God Realm like the gods in Douluo Continent. Instead, they will assimilate with the laws and become part of the Dao. They will lose not only their bodies, but also their consciousness and emotions.
Those who arrive via the Soul Palace's dimensional teleportation can adapt to the laws of the new plane more quickly, but at the same time, they will also be affected by the laws of the new plane, and becoming a god is one of them.
Qiu Tian was already incredibly powerful, and he wasn't far from becoming a god.
If he were to become a god in the Divine Seal Throne plane, there is a high probability that he would be assimilated with the laws, just like the gods of this plane, and would no longer be able to maintain his physical form.
"Your hunch is right. If you become a god in this plane, you will no longer be yourself."
Qiu Tian has a strong will. If it were someone else, they might not only not be worried, but would also think that this is a great opportunity.
"Lord, what should I do? Even though I try to suppress it, my power is still increasing."
Qiu Tian was getting anxious. After hearing Xiao Mu's words, he was no longer so eager to become a god.
In the Douluo Continent, due to the suppression of the God Realm, soul beasts are not allowed to become gods.
In this plane where becoming a god seems relatively easy, the process of becoming a god actually involves losing oneself and becoming completely part of the laws. What the hell is the point of becoming a god then?
Qiu Tian didn't have that kind of compassionate heart to help the world. Compared to becoming a god who had nothing, he felt that it was better to stay as he was.
Xiao Mu thought for a moment and decided to use the most convenient method.
"come over."
"yes."
Xiao Mu branded a wisp of ethereal flame onto Qiu Tian's brow.
"This Dao Fire will prevent your power from breaking through its limits. With it, you don't need to worry about becoming a god in this plane."
In fact, Xiao Mu could also refine pills to suppress strength, but that would be a waste of time. It would be more convenient to use the Void Devouring Flame to devour Qiu Tian's self-growing power.
"Thank you, Lord of the Palace."
Feeling the effects of the Void Devouring Flame, Qiu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
After resolving his problem, Xiao Mu prepared to summon the powerful beings of this plane.
Having a native of this plane makes the next steps easier.
Xiao Mu was already quite adept at summoning powerful figures, but this time, the summoning was somewhat different.
As usual, a vortex of souls rose, but this vortex was stained white and exuded a chilling, sinister power.
"Lord, this is..."
Before Zhan Kaishan could finish his question, an arrogant voice came from within the vortex.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world."
"Such arrogance."
Zhan Kaishan curled his lip in dissatisfaction. Even when summoning the Angel God, a first-level god, the other party did not utter such arrogant words.
Zhan Kaishan was inherently arrogant. Apart from Xiao Mu, he was not convinced by Qian Qiusui and always wanted to surpass him.
He's not happy that this new guy is spouting such arrogant remarks before he's even fully arrived.
Xiao Mu laughed, for it turned out that he had summoned him—the necromancer Electrolux.
At this point, his soul was still on the Holy Demon Continent and had not yet traveled to the Douluo Continent.
When the arrogant voice disappeared, the vortex of souls collapsed, and an old man with a weathered appearance emerged from the center of the vortex. He was dressed in a magnificent robe and held a huge staff in his right hand.
"I've actually been resurrected? And in such a peculiar way, how interesting."
Electrolux was the first person who did not immediately pledge loyalty to Xiao Mu after being resurrected by him, not even the angel god Qian Miyue.
"How dare you! Are the people in this wretched place so rude? Don't you know who gave you the chance to be reborn?"
Zhan Kaishan immediately rebuked him, and seemed to be ready to spar with the old man without saying a word.
Electrolux then turned his gaze to Xiao Mu.
"I..."
