Chapter 812: Splitting into Two Paths

"Ten?!"

Zhou Huai was stunned in place.

Placed in any world, even the current modern world, an SSS-Class Professional was a rare myth.

On the surface, the modern world didn't even have a single one; only the Ancient Remnant Clan hidden in the shadows possessed this kind of power.

Yet The Eighth World actually possessed more than ten SSS-Rank!

"Those ten SSS-Rank Experts united to form a slaughter matrix.

Various forbidden spells, Domains, and Laws overlapped with each other, making even the Duan of that time feel troubled.

He had mastered high-dimensional power, but after all, he had not completely transcended.

Facing that level of encirclement and suppression, he was in danger of being completely suppressed."

Anubis's gaze grew deep, as if he had returned to that era of raging war.

"Therefore, in the end, under helpless circumstances, Duan could only make a decision that went against his original intention."

"He chose to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao of that time."

Anubis said word by word, throwing out this heaven-shaking secret.

"What?!"

Chun stood up, triggering a fit of violent coughing: "Duan is cooperating with the Heavenly Dao?

Isn't he going to overthrow the Heavenly Dao?"

"Times have changed."

Anubis glanced coldly at Chun, "For Duan, surviving is the most important thing.

He secretly opened the Law coordinates of The Eighth World to the Heavenly Dao System, and at the most critical moment of the decisive battle, he destroyed the defensive barrier of the human allied forces from the inside."

"The Heavenly Dao is ruthless.

When completely destroying The Eighth World, it descended an unprecedented world-destroying heavenly punishment, completely grinding those ten SSS-Rank Experts along with the civilization of the entire The Eighth World into nothingness!"

"But precisely because of this world-destroying action, the Heavenly Dao System consumed an extremely huge amount of Origin energy."

Anubis looked at Zhou Huai, "This also gave Duan the opportunity to develop in the Ninth World, which is your current modern world.

The System's computing power became unprecedentedly weak, which is why he could unscrupulously absorb the remnant souls of the old era and completely break the shackles."

"This time, he learned his lesson.

He no longer cultivated humans, but instead directly swallowed those awakened ruin experts as batteries.

This time… he is going to completely trip up the Heavenly Dao."

Inside the black stone hall, there was no sound.

Only the crackling sound of the torches burning echoed in the air.

Zhou Huai sat on the chair, his brain operating at high speed, stringing all the clues together bit by bit.

He suddenly understood, and the mystery that had shrouded his heart all along was finally solved.

No wonder Anubis said that The Eighth World was their only possibility of turning the tables.

"I see…"

Zhou Huai raised his head: "Inside the ruins of The Eighth World, the spirit souls or remains of those ten SSS-Class Professionals actually exist.

That is truly a terrifyingly powerful force."

Moreover, the most crucial thing was that those people were stabbed in the back by Mr. Duan when The Eighth World perished, so they definitely harbored an irreconcilable hostility toward Mr. Duan.

Once The Eighth Ruin opened, those revived experts of The Eighth World would definitely regard Mr. Duan as their number one mortal enemy!

"The enemy of my enemy is a friend."

Zhou Huai sneered: "Mr. Duan is swallowing the strong of the old era everywhere now just to accumulate enough power before The Eighth Ruin opens to resist those avengers who were once betrayed by him.

By then, once The Eighth Ruin appears in the world, it will surely be a true world-class war!"

This was a war of revenge spanning two eras.

And Zhou Huai could completely look for the opportunity to break the deadlock in this melee.

"Then, the most important question."

Zhou Huai stared at Anubis: "Where on earth is the location of The Eighth Ruin?

Since it is the key to breaking the deadlock, we must strike first."

Facing Zhou Huai's pressing questions, Anubis helplessly spread his hands.

"Unfortunately, the first thing Duan did after awakening in the modern world was to use High-Dimensional Law to completely Seal the coordinates of The Eighth Ruin in advance."

Anubis shook his head, "That sealing power surpasses the modern world System, and even my Styx perception cannot locate its detailed position."

Zhou Huai's expression sank: "You mean we can only sit and wait?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Anubis said: "Duan's Seal is strong, but those guys in The Eighth World are no pushovers either.

They are also constantly impacting the Seal from the inside.

It won't be long before cracks appear in the Seal, and it will unseal itself from the inside.

However, the specific time is unknown.

It might be tomorrow, or it might be a month later."

"No."

Zhou Huai decisively shook his head and directly interrupted Anubis's words.

He stood up, unconsciously radiating the coercion of a Half-step Transcendent around his body.

"We must never pin our hopes on such uncertain timing like 'maybe'."

Zhou Huai looked at him, "The high probability is that we will likely be hunted down by Mr. Duan—who has completely absorbed the power—before The Eighth Ruin is unsealed."

"The ten days Chun bought with her life are our only buffer period.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Duan is held back by the Origin Virus right now, we must take the initiative to attack, find the clues to The Eighth Ruin as soon as possible, and unseal it in advance!

Only by muddying the waters will we have the possibility of surviving."

Anubis looked at the decisive young man from Daxia in front of him and showed a rare look of appreciation.

"I have to say, you brat are arrogant, but what you said makes a lot of sense."

Anubis heavily struck the ground with his scepter of death and said in a deep voice, "In that case, next we can only split into two paths."

"I will use the permeability of the Styx water to investigate the fluctuations of the High-Dimensional Law Seal worldwide and search for the coordinates of The Eighth Ruin with all my might."

Anubis raised his head and looked at Zhou Huai: "As for you, you cannot stay idle during these ten days either.

Take a trip to the Atlantic Ocean and look for that friend in the Kaslandis Ruins."

"That's an ancient sea god sleeping at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."

Anubis sneered.

"To counter the avengers of The Eighth World, Duan must also be plotting against him.

Go test the waters and see if he is interested in cooperating."

Anubis said: "If he doesn't want to cooperate, then figure out a way… to kill him.

I certainly don't want him to become nourishment for Mr. Duan to complete his high-dimensional divine persona."

The main hall fell silent.

To kill a Dominator of an ancient ruin, when such words came out of Anubis's mouth, it sounded like crushing an ant to death.

After listening, Zhou Huai's mouth split open bit by bit, revealing pearly white teeth.

He turned his head and glanced at Chun beside him, who was also sneering, and then locked his gaze onto Anubis.

The Law power of Ten Thousand Aspects into One surged within his body, thunder and shadows intertwining.

"Just what I wanted."
