In the aftermath of the previous battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Elysium City had nearly become a ghost town, littered with ruins and corpses. However, the city's infrastructure remained intact, making reconstruction relatively easy—much more so than the underground stronghold of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan.
The crux of the issue lay in the need for manpower. Fortunately, aside from Elysium City, there were still members of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan and Blood Eye Beast Clan elsewhere. Tori Fa's idea was to notify these individuals to come here and help rebuild Elysium City.
Tori Fa then elaborated on his plans for Elysium City, presenting them with an air of formality. It was undeniable that he was a highly competent leader; even after experiencing such a devastating war, he managed to organize everything meticulously. The rules he proposed were not only reasonable but also practical.
Chen Moxuan, though lacking formal training in management, had lived long enough to possess a certain understanding of it. After listening to Tori Fa's arrangements, he found them quite satisfactory. "Your plans are excellent; just go ahead and implement them," he encouraged.
Tori Fa's respectful demeanor did not go unnoticed by Chen Moxuan, indicating that his efforts were appreciated. He believed that once the Blood God was thoroughly dealt with, proposing to accept Tori Fa and the others as his subordinates would likely be met with high acceptance.
In the following days, Chen Moxuan familiarized himself with his newfound strength while observing the reconstruction of Elysium City. Even when he eventually took Tori Fa and others away, he intended to leave some people behind in this secret realm to continue its development, treating it as a logistics base.
Although this secret realm had been tainted by the Blood God, it still held significant value. The realm itself was a substantial resource. The Three-Eyed Beast Clan was indeed worthy of being the once-dominant race in the Abyss; the Source left behind here was incredibly rich. It was no wonder that the Blood God chose this secret realm to conduct his Becoming Demon Ritual!
Gradually, members of both the Three-Eyed Beast Clan and Blood Eye Beast Clan returned to Elysium City. The Blood Eye Beast Clan members were first detained, with those severely tainted facing execution. Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Beast Clan members were well accommodated and began participating in the city's reconstruction.
A few days later, having fully mastered his enhanced abilities, Chen Moxuan summoned Tori Fa and Che Ma. Both Tori Fa and Che Ma respectfully bowed to Chen Moxuan.
I summoned both of you here to reveal a great secret. In fact, the Blood God is not dead! What I killed that day was merely the vessel of the Blood God's descent!
Upon hearing this, Tori Fa displayed a thoughtful expression. As an intelligent person, he had harbored such suspicions at that time. Although the corruption of the Blood God had dissipated, the two blood moons in the sky still remained. However, the Three-Eyed Beast Clan was desperate for a victory to dispel the many shadows that had loomed over them, so he chose to suppress his doubts.
Che Ma, on the other hand, remained expressionless. After experiencing numerous killings, his heart had become steadfast and difficult to sway by external factors. Seeing that both Tori Fa and Che Ma reacted calmly to this news—at least on the surface—Chen Moxuan nodded in satisfaction. Both of these individuals were talents worth nurturing!
He continued, "The true form of the Blood God still sleeps within the blood moon. After I killed his vessel, he severed all connections with this secret realm. Next, I will ascend to the moon and confront the Blood God in a battle to the death!"
"Yama, may I boldly ask if you are confident?" Tori Fa inquired cautiously. "This is not a matter of doubting your strength; I am concerned about unforeseen circumstances. After all, the Blood God has been descending into this secret realm for quite some time and must have accumulated some means!"
Tori Fa was not surprised by Chen Moxuan's determination to fight the Blood God. After all, when he first met Chen Moxuan, he had already declared his intention to kill the Blood God. What worried him was that if Chen Moxuan could not defeat the Blood God, then all their victories thus far would be illusory, and the Three-Eyed Beast Clan would once again be plunged into darkness.
"I believe in Yama!" Che Ma expressed unwavering trust in Chen Moxuan.
"It is normal for you to have such concerns; after all, the fate of your entire race rests in your hands," Chen Moxuan reassured him. "Rest assured, I would not make this decision without sufficient confidence."
"Thank you for your understanding, Yama. Is there anything I can assist with?" Tori Fa asked. In the past, he had held some confidence in his own strength, but after witnessing Chen Moxuan's battle with Blood Droplet, he had completely set aside that confidence. He knew that compared to true strength, he was still far from it!
Although this secret realm was vast, he had encountered too few powerful beings.
"You don’t need to help; just wait quietly for the outcome. I’m telling you this to prepare you mentally. If anything unusual happens in the secret realm, you must be ready to handle it promptly."
The battle with the true form of the Blood God would undoubtedly be earth-shattering. What kind of scene would unfold then, and how it would impact the secret realm, Chen Moxuan did not know. But he was filled with confidence!
"Rest assured, King Yan, we will take care of everything," Tori Fa and Che Ma both assured him.
"Alright, I’m off!"
After Chen Moxuan finished speaking, he soared into the sky, flying higher and higher. The blood moon in the sky drew closer to him, and as it did, he could feel a mental pressure emanating from deep within one of the blood moons. He knew that was where the true form of the Blood God resided.
Bearing this mental pressure and fueled by an indomitable spirit, he descended onto the surface of the blood moon. The blood moon resembled a small planet; unlike ordinary planets, it was devoid of any life and was drenched in crimson.
Upon landing, Chen Moxuan did not linger but rushed toward the location of the Blood God. Soon, he came upon a massive Blood Sea. This Blood Sea was different from the one he had seen before belonging to the Blood Emperor. The Blood Emperor's Blood Sea was red, while this one was black—like the color of dried blood.
At the same time, this Blood Sea radiated a strong sense of pollution. Chen Moxuan understood that this was a unique path that Blood Droplet had forged based on the foundation laid by the Blood Emperor. Yet he felt no fear; instead, he was filled with fighting spirit.
In the past, his pursuit of Eternal Life had left him with little ambition; life had been too dull!
"Blood God, I have come! Step out for a decisive battle!"
