“How long was I in seclusion?”
After leaving the quiet room, Du Gang asked in a low voice, genuinely having lost track of time and unaware of the current situation.
“Ho, how long?”
Kong Xu chuckled, “Only a minute has passed. Don’t tell me you’re done already?”
A minute…
Du Gang grinned, “Of course, I’m already done!”
“Have you undergone the Second Tribulation?”
Long Aotian watched him nervously, the pressure on him was tremendous. He had no clue about the Second Tribulation and if Du Gang had transcended it, he would truly have been left behind.
Not just him, but all ambitious geniuses watched Du Gang tensely.
This time, it wasn’t just Long Aotian and his group. Basically, everyone who had received the news was here.
Under all the tense gazes, Du Gang laughed dryly, “I haven’t undergone the Second Tribulation yet!”
“Phew~”
Distinct sighs of relief echoed in the venue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After congratulating Du Gang, everyone dispersed to take care of their own business. Upon hearing from big-mouthed Long Aotian that Du Gang might be elevating to the Second Tribulation, they had dropped their work to get a glimpse. After seeing him, they naturally stepped out now.
However, they all felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Even though it was just a false alarm this time, and no one accomplished the Second Tribulation.
But when they asked themselves, if someone reached the Second Tribulation during this time, would they really be able to catch up?
Thinking of this, everyone felt the urgency, especially after learning that Du Gang was planning to enter the second layer of the abyss, while they had not even fully absorbed the essence of the first layer, which made them anxious.
“Du Gang, you’re not coming back, are you?”
Long Aotian looked at him with a puzzled face and probed, “What exactly did you come back for this time?”
Shrugging, Du Gang chuckled, “You’ll find out later!”
“Next time you guys meet me, it will either be in the second or the third layer of the abyss. If you guys are slow, I might have already reached the third layer of the abyss!”
“Hmph!”
Little Hawk King sneered, “In a year at most, we will move towards the second layer of the abyss, if you have the skills then fully absorb its essence!”
The others thought about it and agreed. The second layer of the abyss wasn’t like the first, it was a more complex environment with more powerful creatures, the essence wouldn’t be easily obtainable.
Du Gang didn’t explain much, he just bid them goodbye again.
With his departure, other spies in the vicinity also followed.
The whole situation truly was a case of a single hair affecting the whole body!
Du Gang was unaware, but Xiang Xinjian, who had been watching closely, saw it all clearly.
“Over three hundred people, the weakest being at the Second Tribulation of divine spirits, the stronger among them even being veteran Third Tribulation divine spirits. Can Du Gang truly handle it?”
The rosy-faced man chuckled, “Doesn’t he have the scroll you gave him? He should be fine!”
Xiang Xinjian thought for a moment, yes, if this fellow dared to do so, he should be fine. Moreover, he himself had given him Dao scrolls.
Compared to the first layer of the abyss, the monsters in the wild area of the lower level of the second layer were open, which meant that you could absorb essence in both the upper and lower wild areas.
However, the similar part was that the lower half of the wild area primarily had one to two-star monsters, with three-star monsters still in the upper half, which made the overall strength of the lower half weaker than the upper half.
Before entering the second layer of the abyss, Du Gang had obtained a complete map.
Although they were both abysses, the terrains were a bit different in reality, however, the location of the ruins remained unchanged, still being in the upper half of the wild area near the top tower.
Upon entering the second layer of the abyss, Du Gang didn’t wait for long, he sped through the place making his way towards the ruins.
He didn’t deliberately slow down to wait for the people behind because he believed that these people had the ability to catch up.
And indeed, not long after Du Gang entered the ruins, people who were following him continuously poured in.
Such a large mobilization, they naturally saw each other, but no one greeted each other, everyone knew that their behavior was akin to betrayal of the tribe and would be punished if discovered.
However, as long as there was no concrete evidence proving their conspiracy against Du Gang, there won’t be much of a problem.
“Second tribulation, Third Tribulation divine spirits, these people are not easy to kill!”
At this moment, Du Gang furrowed his brow, somewhat worried, “According to that military man’s words, these people of the second and third tribulations have all left at least one divine entity in the outside world, so even if their physical bodies unfortunately fall, they can still be revived!”
“This means, I can’t kill them completely…”
He thought for a while and shook his head, “If I can’t kill them completely, then so be it, but I need to have the recordings, at least I can ask their families for some money!”
Furthermore, once he releases those videos, these people will definitely be unable to stand in their tribes.
“I wonder if there is any contact between the divine entities of these guys, will they run away in advance?”
He was unsure whether the divine entities of these people can transmit their experiences in real-time and quickly receive them.
As for the situation between divine entities, he had two thoughts. One was that they need to be within a certain range to be able to communicate, to transmit each other’s views.
The other thought was that they are always in real-time communication, being able to see clearly the other divine entity’s experiences, if this was the case, then these people would run away in advance after losing.
If it was the first thought, then it would be interesting!
This meant that these people might still be foolishly staying in the Ancient City, unknowing of what their real self had done.
“Regardless, the divine entities they left here must be exterminated!”
If previously, he still had doubts about whether he could quickly wipe out a team.
After experiencing the Dao scroll, he had completely dispelled such worries.
After training with the Dao scroll, his “World Creation” had successfully progressed to 3%.
This meant that even without using the Jie-Character Secret, he was at the level of the strongest 300 Naer divine technique.
If he did use the Jie-Character Secret, the power he could release in one attack could reach a terrifying 3000 Naer!
This implied that each of his casual strikes was capable of destroying heaven and earth!
And ordinary Second Tribulation, Third Tribulation divine spirits, the upper limit of their divine techniques is also around two to three hundred. The stronger ones might be a bit more, reaching the level of four to five hundred Naer, but they are still too weak, they couldn’t withstand Du Gang’s one strike.
Du Gang led the crowd to the depths of the ruins, then turned around with a slight smile to look for the people.
One month later.
The Military Affairs Department.
Xiang Xinjian sat in an office, looking at the latest intelligence.
“The wolf pack has only reappeared in over a hundred groups?”
The wolf pack, that’s what he’d collectively named the hunting teams for Du Gang, with the original wolf pack that followed Du Gang into the abyss having more than three hundred teams and over fifteen hundred people.
Yet now, only over a hundred of them had surfaced today, a month later. All the other groups had vanished without a trace.
Just then, the red-faced man came in again.
“Sir, we checked. The bounty on Du Gang in the Demon Realm is still on, and the guy we’re keeping an eye on has no other unusual moves…”
Xiang Xinjian nodded, laughing, “This shows that no one has reported back yet, which means Du Gang is not dead…”
The red-faced man knew that Xiang Xinjian has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he didn’t take it too seriously. He laughed, “Not only that, the number of people who entered the ruins directly fell drastically by nearly seven hundred people, all of whom were powerful…”
Over seven hundred strong Second Tribulation and Third Tribulation divine beings just disappeared like that, which was also a blow to the second layer of the abyss.
“Over seven hundred people, good Lord!”
Xiang Xinjian laughed, “Does this mean that the power balance in the second layer of the abyss may also be disturbed?”
Previously, an imbalance in the power of the first level of the abyss ultimately led to war because Du Gang had killed over a hundred Controllers.
And now, even though not all the dead are the strongest ones, they were very powerful and could change the situation in the second layer of the abyss.
The red-faced man chuckled, “Sir, there’s a Recording Stone you might want to see!”
Recording Stone?
Xiang Xinjian quickly took the stone and started watching.
A young man appeared in the display, righteously indignant, saying, “Du Gang is a cancer. He’s actually murdering his own kind…”
The content was basically him accusing Du Gang of murder to the military, saying that Du Gang had killed his entity and gods.
“The energy transfer between deities is limited, and it can only be spread within a certain range. Only at the moment of a deity’s death can it transmit a certain amount of information, limited to the last thing it saw before death…”
Xiang Xinjian laughed, “These guys probably know that they were killed by Du Gang, but they don’t know the whole story. They didn’t know that their other deities made the decision on their own to try to ambush Du Gang!”
“Should we do something about it?”
Xiang Xinjian shook his head, laughing, “No need, let them live a few more days. When Du Gang comes back, we’ll see what he wants to do!”
As expected, with this person’s lead, others followed suit, protesting and condemning the Ancient City.
After all, not all the people Du Gang killed were from the Ancient City. In fact, more than half were from other factional families in South Yue.
As for those condemnations, representatives from the Ancient City went to the Abyss to ask about them. After learning what had happened, they didn’t act rashly. They put things off by pretending not to know anything for the time being. They also planned to wait for Du Gang to return before making a decision.
One can imagine what these people will think when the truth comes out.
Not far from the Ancient City Abyss, there was a small town called Happy Town, also protected by the military.

Here, you could pretty much find anything you wanted to eat, drink, and play. It had all sorts of entertainment facilities and was specifically developed for those who stayed in the Abyss all year round to relax.
The Dragon Inn was a well-known inn in Happy Town. Its reputation was largely due to the owner, a voluptuous beauty.
However, unlike the Dream Building, this inn does serious business. But that didn’t stop the young masters from coming in to support her business.
“Where’s the proprietress? I want to see her!”
A young man who had recently arrived in Happy Town said eagerly.
Young men his age seldom resisted a beautiful mature woman.
“You rascal, dare cry out like this? Watch out for your life!”
An old fox urgently warned him, “The proprietress ain’t weak, she’s a Ninth Tribulation divine being. You’d better think twice!”
Upon hearing this, the young man was dumbfounded. He quickly covered his mouth, looked left and right to see if anyone was out to get him, and then sat down smugly to order food.
Among those who entered with the young man, there was another man who looked quite young. However, this man was blind. His eyes were covered with a special blindfold, and he navigated using his senses.
“Such a pity!”
Everyone glanced at the blind man, but no one paid him much attention after that.
In their eyes, achieving divine status but still being blind means he had been cursed by some powerful enemy. People like that usually have tragic endings, so they didn’t pay too much attention to him.
However, this blind young man slowly walked upstairs and sat down at a table by a window across from an elderly man.
The Bronze Assassinator, Ghost Pupil!
This young man was the infamous Ghost Pupil in the Demon Domain. On the surface, he looked like a regular boy next door, but in reality, he was a cold-blooded killer!
“You’ve finally come!”
The elder was very excited on the inside, but he didn’t show it. Both men kept a calm demeanor.
Ghost Pupil nodded slightly, pondering, “The last mission had some loose ends, so I arrived a bit late!”
“Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, as long as you came!”
Ghost Pupil nodded, “I heard the target this time is an Ancient God?”
He had come in haste and hadn’t understood a lot of things.
The elder nodded, “Yes, the Ancient God… the only heir!”
It had already been many years, over a billion years since he had heard news about the Ancient Gods. He hadn’t thought they’d appear now.
Ghost Pupil pondered for a moment and spoke, “This Ancient God, was he cultivated from a small world by the Ancient City?”
“Probably, since we’ve not heard of any living Ancient Gods before…”
Ghost Pupil nodded slightly, “I see, so is he in the abyss right now?”
He understood that if it was an assassination of an Ancient God, his ranking wouldn’t be high enough to be at the forefront.
But the upper ranks still sent him, clearly for a reason. Now that the target was in the abyss, he was obviously the most suitable candidate.
“Correct, the Ancient God is currently in the second layer of the abyss, where the power is only at the level of Third Tribulation divine being…”
The elder added, “I had previously put a bounty on other people to hunt the Ancient God, but no one succeeded. In the past two months, there have been many who claimed that they would definitely collect the reward, but no one has come to claim it…”
As he spoke, he took out a set of fake identities, “This is your identity information…”
After receiving it, Ghost Pupil slowly looked it over, then smiled, “Understood, I’ll go to the second layer of the abyss to take care of him right now!”ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
