Han Kexin did not expect that, on her adventure to the Empress''s Tomb, she would encounter the tomb''s owner right after entering. However, the Empress''s words had no discouraging effect on her. Instead, they fueled her curiosity about this ce even more.


    "What exactly happened here?" Han Kexin asked. "Why did someone of your caliber have to sacrifice your life?"


    In reality, Han Kexin did not know the specific circumstances at that time. Six thousand years ago, to seal the Abyssal Trench, not only did the Empress sacrifice her life, but also twelve of the most elite oceanic rulers and over ten thousand sea experts perished, barely managing to seal this trench.


    The scale of this sacrifice and loss was not something caused by ordinary daemons. The Empress replied, "The cmity originated from a rift beneath the trench."


    Han Kexin furrowed her brow slightly. "A world rift? Like a spatial wormhole or a temporal passage, some abnormal spatial structure?"


    "No, ordinary rifts and spatial wormholes are only temporary passages that connect our world to a subspace," the Empress exined. "The rift in the Abyssal Trench connects to a ce where the order andws are entirely different from this world. Energies, materials, and even living beings from the other side can permeate through at any time, posing a significant threat to the entire ocean."


    Han Kexin then asked, "Are you saying it''s apletely new alien world?"


    The Empress replied with a somewhat uncertain tone, "In reality, I''m not sure what is on the other side. However, it is indeed different from the world we know."


    Han Kexin was somewhat surprised. From the Empress''s description, a ce with entirely differentws and order could only be apletely new alien world. She had not expected that the Azure Water Federation''s depths concealed such a thing. Did this mean there were many other worlds besides this one? Could the Demon Kingunch attacks on these worlds? Han Kexin immediately developed a strong curiosity to find out and asked directly, "Have you been inside? What''s it like over there?"


    "I''ve tried, but I failed," replied the Empress.


    Han Kexin frowned. "With your abilities, you couldn''t adapt to the environment on the other side?"


    "It''s a cepletely different from our world, even the entire world''s manifestation is vastly different from ours. The beings on the other side cannot descend here in the form they exist in their world, and simrly, our flesh and blood bodies would struggle to adapt there. Thews, order, and rules are all different. Our magic and various abilities be ineffective, making it impossible for us tounch a reverse exploration. Sealing is the only viable option."


    Hearing this, both Zhang Nu and Han Kexin had a question in mind. Zhang Nu asked directly, "Since our abilities are unusable in the other world, theoretically, the abilities from that side should be ineffective in our world too."


    Han Kexin added, "Yeah, if that''s the case, how could it pose a threat?"


    The Empress shook her head and exined, "Although theoretically it should work that way, the monsters thate from the other side, even though they be crazy, distorted, and mutated, still possess formidable power."


    Hearing this, both of them got even more puzzled. If the world''sws were entirely different, then the loss of power effectiveness should be mutual. Why would only people from this side be unable to use any spells, while thoseing from the other side, despite going crazy and experiencing body deformities, still possessed formidable power?N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Zhang Nu spected, "I think there are two possibilities. The first is that the fundamental nature of the biological forces on both sides is different, leading to these divergent situations. The other possibility is that there might be a hierarchy between worlds."


    Upon hearing this, Han Kexin was deeply moved. She immediately thought of domain skills. When two powerful individuals at the level of monarchs or above shed, whoever could gain stronger domain control had a tremendous advantage. When two domains confronted each other, one domain would often suppress the other, rendering the suppressed domain''s effectspletely ineffective.


    So, was it possible that the entire world was simr to a powerful "domain"? When the processes of different worlds collided, it was like the collision of two domains. The stronger and more advanced world would suppress thews of the lower-level world, causing the powers cultivated based on thews of the lower-level world to lose their effects in the higher-level world.


    This thought was chilling. Zhang Nu also pondered this possibility. Instead of cultivating spells and skills from the bottom up, it might be more effective to directly master the power of the Dominion of Laws themselves from the top down. Zhang Nu believed that if he entered the crack into the bizarre world, where various abilities and skills became ineffective, his temporal abilities would likely remain unaffected.


    However, before they could contemte further, the entire gorge suddenly trembled. Zhang Nu saw the ground ahead crack open, and peculiar giant birds, resembling crows with a wingspan of ten meters, quickly flew out of the trench. They had no feathers on their bodies, but instead, their surfaces were covered in moving flesh and filled with Star Crystals. These irregrly distributed crystals looked like the feathers of these creatures.


    [Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow] Level 6 lord units...


    Description: These are creatures from an unknown exotic realm. Unable to adapt to thews of this world, they ultimately twisted and mutated into crazed monsters.


    Azure Water Empress eximed, "sted monsters! Because the seal has been lifted, these creatures are beginning to revive. Although there aren''t many daemonic beings left in the Abyssal Trench, once they leave the trench, it will bring enormous disaster to the various aquatic races!"


    Zhang Nu''s mind raced. He spoke, "Empress, you''re truly an excellent ruler who loves her subjects. In that case, why don''t we make a deal?"


    The Empress asked, "What do you mean?"


    "I can help you repel these creatures, prevent the daemonic beings lurking in the trench from erupting and spreading. I can even help you resurrect, restoring your normal body and even a portion of your strength!"


    Upon hearing these words, even though her facial expression could not be discerned, the Empress''s shocked emotions were palpable through her soul''s fluctuations.


    Resurrection? How could that be possible? The Azure Water Empress was once a formidable and authoritative figure. She naturally knew of some methods that could bring people back to life, but deploying such methods was extremely challenging. The higher the resurrection target, the more difficult it became. Reviving her? It was nearly impossible, even for an empire-level force. What gave this mysterious individual the confidence to im he could resurrect her?


    The Azure Water Empress had maintained her Soul Warden form for thousands of years. If there was truly a method to restore her physical body and bring her back to life, how could she possibly refuse?


    "What do you want?" The Azure Water Empress said, "I don''t have anything to offer you."


    Zhang Nu replied, "No, what I want is quite simple. I hope that the Azure Water Empress will join the Darkness City, be a guest official of the Darkness City, and work for me for at least ten years."


    Just that? Upon hearing these words, the Azure Water Empress was stunned. For someone who had entered the legendary rank, and for her, who had drifted in the form of a soul for thousands of years, ten years was not a very long time. As long as she worked for him for ten years, she could exchange it for the opportunity of resurrection. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very profitable deal.


    At this moment, more monsters surged out from the underwater gorge. The sealid by Azure Water and the twelve monarchs not only had the function of isting space, but also the power to suppress the monsters. Now that the seal was lifted, all the creatures that had been suppressed were about to be released.


    The situation was too dangerous! There was nothing to hesitate about! Even without the condition of resurrection, the Empress would make the same choice now to save her subjects.


    "Very well, I ept your condition. But I also have one condition: I will not do anything that harms the peace of the aquatic tribes!"


    Zhang Nu smiled. His goal had been achieved. Originally, he thought he was just going to deal with some high-level monsters, but unexpectedly, he had picked up the founder of the Azure Water Federation. Zhang Nu wondered how the high-ranking officials of the Azure Water Federation would react when they saw their only legitimate emperor appear in front of them after being resurrected.


    "Let''s deal with these monsters first!" Zhang Nu used his mind to control the Yamata Evil Serpent. Its massive body descended from the sky, appearing above the Starry Sky Magic Ravens, releasing a powerful mental attack.


    The Starry Sky Magic Ravens, affected by the attack, screamed and released blue and white energy beams from their mouths. However, these attacks didn''t cause much harm to the Yamata Evil Serpent. The eight heads of the snake simultaneously attacked, releasing breaths imbued with the aura of the evil god. These breaths quickly fell onto the monsters, instantly crushing and tearing their bodies apart.


    [You''ve in a Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow. Gold +410,000!]


    [You''ve in a Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow. Gold +410,000!]


    [You''ve in a Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow. Gold +410,000!]


    [......]


    Seeing the Yamata Evil Serpent, the Azure Water Empress was extremely shocked. This was clearly a powerful Evil God monstrosity, and it seemed to be controlled by the mysterious person in front of her. How was this possible? Evil God monstrosities were uncontroble! Even at the peak of her power, the Azure Water Empress could not control an Evil God monstrosity to fight for her.


    Han Kexin quickly said, "Hey, don''t kill them so fast. At least leave a few for me."


    As she spoke, she activated Soul Domination, releasing more than a dozen purple soul threads in one breath, pulling out the souls of seven Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow and incinerating them with the Devil''s Fire.


    These were Level 6 lord-ss monsters, not small fry! The rewards for each one were astonishing! With thebined efforts of the Yamata Evil Serpent and the Subus Queen, the surrounding Mournful Celestial Sorrocrow were being rapidly eliminated. However, just eliminating these monsters was not enough.


    The Azure Water Empress spoke, "There is arger space below with arge number of mutated corpses of deceased aquatic tribe warriors and various monsters from the otherworld. They may have already revived."


    "What?! That''s too many! We can''t possibly kill them all!" Han Kexin frowned, "Potato seller, do you have any ns?"


    Zhang Nu replied, "The old method. I can feel that these monsters originally had no intelligence. They are only following the instructions of a certain will!"


    "Which is why! There''s no need to waste anymore time."


    "Let''s finish this quickly and eliminate the leader of these monsters first!"
