The same as the Lost World, behind the gate of all demons, there is actually a vast battlefield. The difference is, the Lost World is dominated by the three major forces: JueMing Island, Diao Hai Building, and Yang Valley. Behind the gate of all demons, it is co-guarded by the world powers.
Being a Marquis of military merit, Marquis Wu An could not officially go to the battlefield alone. So besides Bai Yuxia, he also brought Fang Yuanyou and a guard of two hundred men.
These two hundred men were of course not as elite as the Nine Soldiers, but they were veterans who had followed Jiang Wang in the Fa Xia war, far more elite than the average county soldiers team.
At this moment, everyone was fully armored and arrayed behind Jiang Wang.
Not a single sound came from the two hundred men.
"The possibility of destroying these sub-gates outside the Central Region exists, as long as one is willing to pay a certain price to cut them off. Thus, if the demon clan wants to counterattack the current world, they can only go through the gate of all demons left by the Human Emperor."
In the Changji Water Village, Song Yao explained in detail to Jiang Wang: "Of course, the possibility of the demon clan counterattacking the current world is virtually nonexistent. The so-called ’reclaiming the current world’ is merely the lingering delusion of a few old demons..."
As the largest navy base of Qi Country, the part of the structure that spans the Zi River is only the main part of the Changji Water Village. Its main structure is extremely grand, with flanking buildings spreading like wings.
From a high-altitude view, it’s like the pattern of an eagle striking the water.
On the south bank, it extends further south, and on the north bank, it needs to extend further north, but only three to five miles from the shore, the flanking buildings go underground.
After entering the water village with Song Yao, Jiang Wang went underground, heading south. They passed through numerous checkpoints on the way, which were quite strict.
Most of the southern wing buildings of the Changji Water Village are underground, and Jiang Wang felt that they spanned about half of Jichuan County underground, approaching the Bridge Mountain Corridor.
"Is the northern wing of the Changji Water Village just as long? It feels like a magnificent underground city," he asked.
As long as the topic didn’t involve the Blue Stone Palace, Jiang Wang didn’t mind saying a few more words to True Man Song.
The knowledge and insight of an Imperial Court Adviser were definitely worth humbly learning from.
"Certainly not." As if mentioning the Blue Stone Palace was just offhand, Song Yao did not further discuss it, but seriously explained to the young man: "The southern wing’s underground buildings extend so far and are built so grandly mainly to consider secrecy while facilitating the passage of large armies. In fact, there is more than one entrance here, not only the Changji Water Village can access here. Counties like Bridge Mountain and Yi Yue also have entrances."
He glanced around: "In fact, this should not be called the southern wing of Changji Water Village alone. Many people call it the ’Jichuan Underground City.’
The surrounding is empty and vast, you can almost accommodate thousands of troops and horses.
Imagining the grand scene of an army setting out here naturally gives one a majestic feeling.
And the external manifestation of the gate of all demons is not in the shape of a door. More vividly, it should be described as a wall of light. In the very center of this vast square, a striking noble purple light curtain stands alone like a load-bearing wall.
Entering from any side leads to the world where the demon clan exists.
It is also the battlefield where the Human Race fought bravely for long years.
"I’ve always wondered what kind of world lies beyond the gate of all demons." Jiang Wang looked at this curtain, with rare anticipation in his gaze: "Soon I can witness it with my own eyes."
Tales of the Human Race driving out the demon clan have been heard for many years. Having cultivated all this way, he finally had some strength to set foot on such a battlefield, tracing the paths trodden by the predecessors and sages.
At this moment, in front of the Qi Territory sub-gate of the gate of all demons, only Song Yao and Jiang Wang’s party were there.
More guards and inspections were completed at a further distance.
"The world behind the gate of all demons is vast and boundless. From the Ancient Era to today, its boundaries have yet to be explored. Now, many of us call it the ’Monster Realm,’ but initially, it was not a world inhabited by the demon clan."
With a faint smile on his face, Song Yao lightly tapped the ground with his boot: "The original dwelling of the demon clan was here. The place where we have lived for generations."
The end of the Ancient Times and the beginning of the Ancient Era were marked by the Human Race driving the demon clan to the outer world. Jiang Wang was certainly aware of this. The more detailed history was buried deep within time...
Just right in front, someone had "seen the truth" (洞真).
Song Yao continued: "The so-called ’Monster Realm’ was actually not suitable for survival, initially just a piece of chaos, without any vitality. The ancient sages drove the demon clan out of the world, certainly not to find them a place to rest and rebuild, but to break the demon clan’s spine, shatter their spirit, and erase this race from the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!"
"It is a chaotic world adjoining the real world, the largest of its kind. In the Ancient Era, it was called the [Celestial Prison]. The demon clan would throw sinful lifeforms into the Celestial Prison, dissolving them into chaos."
"Creatures in the Ancient Era trembled at the mention of the Celestial Prison."
"During the final great war, the main forces of the demon clan were forcibly driven into this chaotic world, where they were supposed to perish in chaos, thus cleansing them of the sins committed in the Ancient Era."
"The ancient sages used immense power to completely seal off the Celestial Prison, intending to use the power of time to eliminate those indomitable demon clan strongmen. Chaos over long ages would dissolve all existence."
