The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Fifth Lord Li naturally knew what the other party meant by the crack.

That's the boundary between the Corpse Realm and the real world! It's the Corpse Realm's invasion of the real world!

The deep dark realm is the boundary between those cracks!

If those cracks were to come together...

What changes will occur in the deep dark domain?

Fifth Lord Li mentally went through the possible follow-up scenarios.

The most basic conclusion is that the area of ​​the deep dark domain will expand on a large scale.

Now, in order to curb the expansion of the deep dark domain, not only are the Lords diverting their forces to guard various places, but the manpower guarding the various deep dark domain strongholds is also nearing its limit.

Why did the Investigation Bureau take such a big step by launching plans such as martial arts exams, martial arts universities, and talent training programs? Ultimately, these major moves are a race against time.

For every inch the area of ​​the deep dark realm expands, there is one more opening that needs to be guarded, but there are only so many torchbearers who can guard them, which is simply not enough.

In other words, if those world rifts were to be merged and the deep dark domains were to appear on a large scale, given the current situation, it would be completely unable to withstand the invasion of the corpse species!

In the blink of an eye, the pale blue figure's eyebrows were already tense.

His silhouette shifted, but his gaze never left the black kitten:

"There are such peculiar rituals?"

"Why didn't you use it before?" He asked, his gentle voice tinged with a hint of accusation.

The little black cat rested its chin on its front paws, its fiery golden eyes narrowing slightly: "'You'? Don't confuse me with them."

"Not to mention that they have already—"

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid.

The mature, husky voice paused for a moment, then continued, "At least I never intended to invade your world."

Upon hearing this, the pale blue figure shook its head, the mist on its blurred face shifting slightly faster: "Your Beast Clan is quite a sight to behold here."

Upon hearing this, the black kitten fell silent.

After a while.

"I told you."

"I never intended to invade your world."

It paused, then raised its fiery golden eyes to look at the pale blue figure, its pupils narrowing slightly: "The myriad beasts you see do not worship me."

The air in the training room seemed to freeze for a moment.

The movement of water vapor on Fifth Li Zhu's pale blue figure was noticeably slower, and her blurry face turned slightly, as if she were re-examining the cat in front of her.

The information contained in those words truly startled Him: What did He mean by saying that the members of the Beast Clan did not worship the God of Beasts? Did the Beast Clan have a second deity besides the God of Beasts?

But this seemed to involve some secret, and the God of Beasts clearly didn't want to talk about it. Instead, he explained the information about the giant ritual: "The conditions for using this ritual that can merge rifts are very strict."

"It must operate within the energy field of the dark domain."

"Furthermore, since the primary target is your world, it must be activated within your world."

"Either of the two conditions is difficult to meet individually, but when combined, they are extremely difficult to achieve."

"But they used that small ritual object that could drill holes between the Dark Realm and your world, and used those holes as nodes for that giant ritual object, which in a way fulfilled the conditions."

After hearing the explanation, the Fifth Lord Li understood.

That giant ritual needs to operate within the energy field of the dark realm and also requires activation in the real world. These two conditions are mutually exclusive, and achieving them simultaneously is almost impossible.

The Dark Domain Energy Field is an energy field that can only be generated under the special environment of the Dark Domain. The Dark Domain and the real world are two different spaces. Unless a part of the real world is completely dragged into the Dark Domain, it is impossible to simultaneously satisfy both the Dark Domain Energy Field and the real world conditions!

But given the current situation, this is almost impossible.

Not to mention the presence of any dark aura in the real world, it would be instantly destroyed the moment it appeared.

Even during the last Lanhe Divine Descent incident, when the will of the Thousand-Faced God personally descended upon Lanhe, it was still unable to drag that small county town of Lanhe into the Dark Domain.

But now, the corpse species of the Lustful Corpse Clan and the Thousand-Faced Corpse Clan have used a loophole to achieve that condition!

That is to make some holes that are small enough to be detected by the dark domain energy detector between the dark domain and the real world!

Those holes connect both the dark realm and the real world, naturally possessing dual attributes—the dark realm's energy field exists inside the holes, while the holes themselves are also embedded in the coordinates of the real world.

Using these holes as nodes for the convergence instrument track can fully meet the demanding operating conditions.

However, the holes are very small, which means that the number needed to use them as nodes in a giant ritual would be greatly increased! This indicates that these holes could not have been recently created! It's likely that the plans of the Abominations and the Thousand-Faced Corpse Clan have been in preparation for a long time!

Moreover, the research institute has long confirmed an ironclad rule: it is virtually impossible to establish a passage from the Dark Realm to the real world.

If they could, those gods probably wouldn't need any sacrificial rituals or divine descent ceremonies; they would have already found a way to enter the Dark Realm and then smuggle themselves directly into the real world!

Therefore, those holes could only be drilled from the inside out in the real world! Moreover, because the corpse species carries the aura of alien species and the dark domain, that ritual could only be performed by people in the real world!

Only in this way can we avoid being discovered by the investigation bureau! Only in this way can we accumulate enough to activate the aggregation ritual!

Thinking of this, the gentle eyes of the pale blue figure turned cold in that instant.

The moisture on her blurred face began to condense slightly, and tiny droplets of water formed on the corner of the training room wall, sliding down the wall and leaving fine, damp trails: These traitors!!! They've probably been colluding with the corpse race for years!!!

At this moment, the mature voice's next sentence made the pale blue figure's pupils shrink again: "Hmm, just looking at this node diagram, I'm not sure what level of aggregation power this aggregation ritual can achieve."

"If the aggregation power is sufficient, even the deep dark domains of these places might be directly aggregated together." The little black cat stretched out a front paw, and the tip of the paw gently traced a half circle on the map of light spots.

Fifth Lord Li's gaze followed the trajectory of that little paw, which circled the entire area of ​​the three southeastern provinces.

Are the deep, dark realms of the three southeastern provinces all directly converging together?

If the cracks merge together, it will only expand the area of ​​the deep dark domain. But what if the deep domains that are already at the intersection of cracks merge together directly?

That's probably not just a matter of breadth, it might also involve depth!

This is not over yet.

"Hmm, the aggregation point should be—"

"Here." The black kitten's paw hadn't retracted yet; instead, it moved a little further onto the map, its paw tip precisely pointing to the location of Zhongjiang Province in the three southeastern provinces!

Looking at the location the black kitten pointed to, the pale blue figure seemed to have realized something: "Dongjiang Province is the aggregation center...?"
