Although Jin Xuan's face appeared calm, her trembling voice revealed the turmoil within her heart.
Xiao Mo nodded. "Of course, I noticed."
So many skeletal remains and corpses filled this place, and the surrounding power of death made one feel disheartened.
Yet, strangely, in this space filled with the corpses of living beings, he felt no trace of undead aura.
This was completely illogical.
For generally, the more corpses there were, the more resentment would be generated, leading to the emergence of undead.
However, in a place that could be considered an undead paradise.
Not a single undead could be seen.
Not even the lowest level skeleton soldier could be found here.
Apart from the countless skeletons, everything else here was exceedingly clean.
There was no trace of any living beings.
The silence was so profound it sent shivers down one's spine.
Xiao Mo even worried that his own strength was insufficient to detect the abnormality here.
"Xian'er, are there any other creatures present here?"
Xian'er respectfully replied,
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Sovereign Lord, I have extended my divine sense completely and have not detected any trace of living beings here. Therefore, it is highly probable that no living humans are present."
"Furthermore, this place is vast, even wider than the Origin Continent. My divine sense cannot reach the farther regions."
After Xian'er finished speaking, Xiao Mo's expression grew grave.
The sheer size of this place was beyond his imagination.
At this moment, a voice suddenly broke through Xiao Mo's thoughts.
"This is truly a dreadful world..."
Xiao Mo turned to look. Jin Liu'er, who had been emanating a white, ethereal glow, now had her eyes closed, her arms spread wide as if she were sensing something.
The voice just now had come from her.
Although she called this world a "dreadful world," a look of enjoyment was gradually appearing on her face.
Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow. It seemed Jin Liu'er had made a new discovery.
"What did you discover? Why do you say this is a dreadful world?"
As the strongest Immortal-Demon soldier among them, it was not strange for Jin Liu'er to discover something unusual.
Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Jin Liu'er blinked her eyelashes, which resembled white butterfly wings, and said,
"Your Majesty, the world laws here have been corrupted by evil energy. Without the restraint of world laws, order has collapsed. There is no balance between any living beings, leaving behind a world dominated by one faction."
As she spoke, Jin Liu'er extended her delicate fingers and pointed towards the blood-red sun in the sky.
"Your Majesty, you are correct. It is indeed daytime, and the 'blood moon' in the sky is indeed a red sun. Aren't you curious why?"
Xiao Mo was surprised that the seemingly simple-minded Jin Liu'er would question him.
"Of course, I am curious. However, I have a guess. Is it because the beings here were massacred, and their blood stained the land, thus influencing the sun in the sky?"
Jin Liu'er gazed at Xiao Mo with a coy expression, then said with feigned admiration,
"Your Majesty, you are wrong!"
Xiao Mo: "..."
If he was wrong, why was she looking at him with such an adoring expression!
It made him think he had guessed correctly.
"Where did I go wrong?"
Jin Liu'er then continued,
"Your Majesty, you are not entirely wrong, and you are partly correct. The air around us is indeed faintly pink, indicative of blood."
"However, the sun in the sky is different. Its color change is because the world laws here have been eroded by evil forces. To put it in simple terms, the sun is sick."
"That is why this place is ravaged by suffering, yet a trace of life remains, exuding deathly aura, but without a single undead present."
"The blood-red sun can be considered a sickness, or it can be seen as a cry for help from the world laws."
Xiao Mo understood and said with sudden realization, "So that's how it is! What will happen if the world laws here are completely eroded by evil energy?"
Jin Liu'er offered a sweet smile, but her words were not so sweet.
"Your Majesty, you have hit upon a crucial point. If the world laws are completely eroded by evil energy, this place will become a second Abyssal World."
"The evil creatures within will be like those of the otherworldly demon race, and may even give rise to the Ten Demon Lords and the Dark Emperor."
Before Xiao Mo could react, Jin Xuan cried out in disbelief.
"What!? The space for the 'Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event' will become a second Otherworldly Demon Race?"
Jin Xuan's eyes widened, filled with fear.
Although they had only been on the Origin Continent for less than two months, she knew what the Otherworldly Demon Race represented.
It was the nightmare of the entire Origin Continent.
How many divine systems were destroyed in the great holy war tens of thousands of years ago, vanishing from the Origin Continent.
Although they were eventually driven back to their own world.
It was less like being driven back, and more like they chose to return.
At that time, the entire Origin Continent had been ravaged beyond recognition, with the ten directions of the divine systems in chaos, making survival almost impossible.
Several powerful Divine Lords had sacrificed their lives to drive them back to their world.
Using their own bodies as vessels, they had barely managed to repel the Ten Demon Lords and the Dark Emperor.
All divine systems paid the ultimate price. Although in current tales, the Nature Goddess system is often mentioned as suffering the most.
But that was not the case. The Nature Goddess system is said to have paid the greatest price because they were the only divine system that remained intact after the holy war. All other divine systems were annihilated.
They had no chance whatsoever.
However, after that divine war, the inheritance of divine systems on the entire Origin Continent regressed by tens of thousands of years.
It took a long time to recover.
A single Otherworldly Demon Race had almost led to the annihilation of the entire Origin Continent.
Yet now, they were being told that in the near future, there would be a second Otherworldly Demon Race.
How could this not evoke fear and panic!
At this point, Xiao Mo knew the situation had become grave and understood the purpose behind the "Game Officials" sending them here.
"The 'Game Officials' want us to eliminate these evil creatures and prevent them from becoming a second Otherworldly Demon Race, thus threatening the survival of the Origin Continent."
