Hearing Uncle's words, Killing God Senior stood up and slightly bowed to the three uncles, saying, "At the time of your rebellion within the Blood Slaughter Shop Headquarters, it just so happened that a large force from the Bloodshed Shop was surrounding me. Upon receiving news of your revolt, those forces all rushed back, giving me a chance to breathe. This incident, in an invisible way, provided me with an opportunity to thrive, and I must thank you."
Upon hearing this, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three hurriedly stood up and returned the bow to Killing God Senior. With his formidable reputation, they dared not act rashly; they immediately performed the necessary courtesy to avoid creating any rift with Killing God.
Uncle said, "Killing God, it was actually mutual. If it weren't for you drawing so many high-ranking experts from the Bloodshed Shop outside, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to steal the Green Energy Stone from within the Bloodshed Shop. We can only consider it a mutually beneficial arrangement; there's no need for anyone to thank anyone else."
This statement was already extremely polite, and Killing God Senior nodded in satisfaction before sitting down again. Although he was merely a Soul Body, the three elders from Lost City did not dare to underestimate him.
"Well then, let's not be polite anymore. Uncle, I don't understand why you want to separate from the Bloodshed Shop when Lost City is already independent in itself?" Killing God Senior asked calmly.
Uncle replied, "Our status within the Bloodshed Shop is not as powerful as you might think. In fact, we do not count as part of the Bloodshed Shop's forces. However, because our ancestors allied with the Bloodshed Shop and Lost City formed an alliance with them, we are considered on the same side."
"However, as time went on, the Bloodshed Shop acquired the Green Energy Stone while Lost City grew weaker. Although we were allies, we inadvertently became vassals of the Bloodshed Shop due to our limited strength."
"Your appearance stirred up a great deal of chaos and took away many strong members of the Bloodshed Shop. We saw an opportunity and decided to act."
At this point, Uncle sighed deeply and continued, "When we attempted to steal the Green Energy Stone and were discovered, it escalated into a battle. Naturally, we could not compete against the numerous forces of the Bloodshed Shop and had no choice but to flee. But with Bloodshed Shop members everywhere, where could we escape? Our only option was to enter a whole new world—the Endless Divine Realm. Before that battle, our forces had already discovered the Endless Divine Realm and opened a Spatial Tunnel leading there while obtaining spatial coordinates and formations. When surrounded by the Bloodshed Shop's forces, we had no way to break through and activated the formation to transfer Lost City into the Endless Divine Realm."
Killing God Senior frowned and asked, "What happened afterward? How did you inexplicably end up trapped in this pool?"
"It's strange indeed. When we arrived in the Endless Divine Realm, we were right around here. We intended to use this place as a base to recruit soldiers again since we had obtained the Green Energy Stone and were confident in our ability to create strong warriors. The Spatial Plane level of the Endless Divine Realm is not low; it could support us in fighting back against the Bloodshed Shop."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three all showed confusion on their faces. The events that followed were inexplicable to them; who would believe their story?
For anything to be believable, there must be some credibility behind it. Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three themselves could not explain what had happened back then; even if they managed to get out now, who would believe them?
The three displayed difficulty in expressing themselves when Killing God Senior understandingly said, "Seniors, if it's inconvenient for you to discuss further details, that's fine; it's no big deal."
"No, it's not that it's inconvenient; it's just that what happened is too bizarre and too Sword Mountain-like. Even now, we still cannot figure out what exactly occurred at that time; it seems that we were inexplicably brought down to the bottom of this pool without any means of escape."
Uncle's face showed a hint of fear. Even after so long, recalling those events still filled him with dread. It was clear that the incident from back then had a profound impact on the Lost City.
Killing God Senior furrowed his brow and asked, "Senior, could it be that Bloodshed Shop is hunting us down?"
"It’s not that simple. If it were just Bloodshed Shop pursuing us, it would be straightforward: we could either fight to the death or kill their people and seal off the Endless Divine Realm and Spatial Plane, waiting for an opportunity to strike back. The problem is, Bloodshed Shop didn’t come after us. When we arrived here, only one person appeared, and with just a single move, he defeated all of us. That terrifying figure shattered our understanding of what it means to be strong; in my opinion, his power surpasses even that of the legendary Third-Level Deities."
Fear appeared in Uncle's eyes, an unmasked fear. It was hard to imagine that the leader of the Lost City, a powerful being of the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, could display such emotions over mere memories.
Killing God Senior asked, "Uncle, what happened back then?"
Uncle replied, "After that Supreme-Level Expert appeared, with a wave of his hand, the ground shook and the entire Lost City was pushed down to the bottom of the pool. We tried to escape but couldn’t penetrate the formation sealing this place; there was no way out. Over time, although the Green Energy Stone released a lot of Green Energy, the people in the Lost City couldn’t endure the loneliness. After millions of years, aside from the three of us old fellows, everyone else perished."
"That powerful being inexplicably appeared and suppressed us inexplicably, pushing our Lost City into this state of irreversible doom. Even though we had the Green Energy Stone, we three have already reached saturation; it no longer benefits us. So much time has passed that we’ve lost any desire for revenge against that powerful being. He must have had his reasons for acting as he did. Our greatest wish now is to see him again; we must ask him why he treated us this way when we had never met him before and held no grudges!"
Uncle felt like crying. After finally snatching a Green Energy Stone from Bloodshed Shop and arriving at the Endless Divine Realm to start anew, they were suppressed by a suddenly appearing Peerless Strongman into the depths of a pool where sunlight couldn’t reach. This life was truly frustrating.
Killing God Senior frowned in thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, what I can’t understand is that after Bloodshed Shop took control of Endless Divine Realm, they should have easily discovered our presence here. Why haven’t they tried to reclaim the Green Energy Stone?"
Uncle chuckled bitterly and explained, "After that Supreme-Level Expert trapped us here, he sealed off this area. Anyone associated with Bloodshed Shop cannot enter here. Bloodshed Shop has tried various methods; they even sent local Sixth-Level Deities to attempt entry, but those Sixth-Level Deities couldn’t dive deep into Azure Green Pool, let alone retrieve the Green Energy Stone. The strong members of Bloodshed Shop who came here were immediately killed by a mysterious force once they entered the pool; their remains were completely obliterated."
"So that's why within Endless Divine Realm, this Azure Green Pool is referred to as a Death Zone," Wei Chen thought to himself.
The term Death Zone didn’t stem from the inability of the gods in Endless Divine Realm to dive deep but rather because Bloodshed Shop's strong members would lose their lives there; that was truly the origin of those words.
"Is he really that strong? What kind of power did your Supreme-Level Expert wield?" Killing God Senior was also shaken. To easily suppress the Lost City’s powerful beings and trap them here while setting up mysterious forces within Azure Green Pool to kill Bloodshed Shop’s people—such strength was indeed extraordinary.
Uncle shook his head in ignorance; he couldn’t fathom such levels of power.
Great-Uncle Three pondered for a moment before adding, "It must be power from another world; such strength is beyond our comprehension."
"We just can't understand why, without any grievances or enmity, he would imprison us here. If he is from the Bloodshed Shop, he could have simply killed us. He used that kind of power in the Azure Green Pool to kill people from the Bloodshed Shop, so he must not be one of them. In fact, he seems to be subtly on our side, considering we are still alive while those from the Bloodshed Shop who entered the Azure Green Pool are all dead."
Upon hearing these words, Wei Chen and Killing God Senior almost clearly understood the cause and effect.
The key point of it all lay with that Supreme-Level Expert.
"Alright, three seniors, if you continue to stay here, it's a dead end. Sooner or later, you will die here; you can't deny that, can you?" Killing God Senior looked at the three old fellows and transmitted his thoughts.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three exchanged glances, their faces filled with bitterness. Although they aimed to revive the lost city with the Green Energy Stone, given the current situation, dying here seemed to be their ultimate fate. They had no chance of getting out; it was destined for them to perish here...
"I suppose so. We can't find a way out. Killing God, do you have a solution? This place has powerful restrictions. We've studied it carefully; unless we enter someone else's True God World, we can't escape. None of us can get out; our True God World is useless now," Great-Uncle Three said lightly.
With those words, everything they had discussed before became irrelevant. Keeping the Green Energy Stone was pointless; the three old men were not so stubborn. They quietly exchanged opinions and reached a consensus.
Killing God Senior smiled without saying anything. With Wei Chen around and possessing a complete True God World, it would naturally be possible to take the three old men out. In fact, moving the entire lost city into Wei Chen's True God World wouldn't be difficult at all. As long as those three old fellows were willing to do so, everything would be fine.
The premise was that from now on, control of the lost city would no longer belong to them but to Wei Chen.
"Wei Chenzi, a great opportunity lies before you. The potential of the lost city is immense; if you bring it into your True God World and let them cultivate strong warriors for you, we will no longer be outnumbered in the future. To achieve great things, personal strength is crucial, but having a powerful force under your command is equally important. I made that mistake back in the day by not recruiting troops or allying with opposing forces of the Bloodshed Shop; I always acted alone. If I had been smarter earlier on, I wouldn't have ended up like that," Killing God Senior secretly transmitted his thoughts to Wei Chen.
"Seniors, just tell me directly what I should do."
