Divine Emperor of Death - Chapter 3752: Great Desolate Plain?

Hearing Myria’s question, Lereza’s sweet lips curled.

“According to these creatures, this place is called the Ant Rocky Sea, Sand-Sand Bed, or Stinging Barren Plains, but they have seen humans call it the Great Desolate Plain. Apparently, over ten flame-attributed Empyreans fought in this place a long time ago. They reduced the entire surroundings into a flaming hell, making it unlivable from the remnant flame energy plaguing the soil and the air. Still, the flames eventually died after some unknown time, and the land turned barren.”

“However, these beasts marched from the west, took up space, and began making this entire region their own. As for why there are no humans here, it is obviously because of these three peak Immortal Emperor Beasts.”

Lereza said haughtily as she glanced at the beasts she had captured.

The sandworm even whizzed through its maw as though whimpering.

Lereza glared them into submission before she raised her hand, gesturing at them.

“Also, it seems that they’re quite unfriendly to humans, killing all those who step inside, so I guess to the human side, these lands are marked as danger zones, and some sects also throw their disciples here if they had done some wrongs or get schemed against, allowing nature to end them in case if the matter is too convoluting for them to resolve.”

“Ah… a good place for main characters who have plot armor as they tend to survive such an ordeal,” Mingzhi muttered softly.

Her strange ramblings were ignored by everyone who deeply thought about their current situation.

If humans didn’t come here most of the time, then this place was a safe haven for them. However, it also required them to subdue these beasts completely in order to have a peaceful settlement here.

They may have come to the true immortal world, but that didn’t change their modus operandi.

They needed to cultivate and become even stronger… stronger until they could no longer improve by secluding themselves and needed to venture out. Although their intents were nearing a limit, they still had a massive amount of immortal crystals to use.

The optimal state for them would be for every one of them to become a Peak-Level Immortal Emperor and then venture out. Otherwise, it would be hasty of them to step out into the open world.

“So is this a Minor Realm or Lower Realm? Or is it some random celestial body?” Mingzhi asked.

Lereza shook her head, having no idea.

It made everyone frown but Myria opened her mouth.

“This is most likely a Lower Realm. A Lower Realm is ten times bigger than a Minor Realm. In other words, it is around ten times bigger than First Haven World, and many areas like this region would simply be left to their devices. In the true immortal world, only the cities are somewhat safe. The rest of the habitable areas are not good for living in the long term, with numerous dangers lurking in the corner. The danger could descend in a month, a year, or a few decades. For example, a real beast tide on the scale of a million beasts besieging a city, so what would happen if a town is in its way…?”

Myria explained as she gestured.

The others nodded.

The town would merely be collateral damage. Therefore, living in a town or a local sect would mean death most of the time, but it also provided opportunities to grow, so humans, or any race for that matter, would never stop expanding.

“Wait… isn’t this galaxy under the control of the human race?”

Tanya narrowed her eyes, “How come beast tides occur frequently?”

“Tanya,” Myria exuded a gentle smile, “We may control the realms, but in essence, certain magical beasts and spirits have integrated into our human race and can no longer break free. For example, the Azure Dragon Upper Realm has a magical beast dragon ruler and would biologically have more ties with the galaxy owned by the dragon race. However, the Azure Dragon ruler is still aligned with our human race. This is because during the ancient war of our advent from the Abandoned Immortal Lower Realm, which was previously known as Rising Human Lower Realm, some magical beasts and spirits sided with humans as they understood our plight or were forced to understand.”

“…” Tanya’s brows twitched.

She could imagine how humans would’ve convinced other races to come under them.

Myria continued, “Our momentum couldn’t be stopped, and we finally conquered this galaxy, cutting short their relations with the other galaxies. Therefore, they pledged their allegiance to protect the Celestial Transcendent Greater Realm and have been doing so for billions of years already, so it could be said we’re inseparable.”

“However…” Myria sighed, “Beasts are beasts. They propagate too much and end up having many more offspring they can suffice or support, and some are born feral, so what happens is they are abandoned in the wild, and they continue to propagate like there’s no tomorrow, leading to a beast tide to happen. No amount of advice given or restrictions placed would stop them. Sometimes, it would even incur their wrath, causing realm wars to happen. Then again, killing feral beasts and butchering them for their skin and organs, not to mention harvesting cores, also makes up for a significant number of people’s living, so this has become a natural cycle already.”

“…” Tanya lightly nodded.

She had also seen beast tides but not at the scale of millions. This also made her and the others wonder how far the World Master made her universe peaceful slowly, while Saintess Lunaria’s covenant also prevented treating most beasts in an inhumane way, which eradicated most beast-taming methods and even had beasts learning civility in order to reciprocate.

There was balance, but here, it seemed the scale was tipped more towards extremism in many matters, literally superimposing the survival of the fittest nature.

“Now, now. There’s no need to get into the human race’s history.”

Davis stopped his studious women from going off-topic even though he was also interested in knowing who was who and who belonged to who would help him navigate through this vast space.

“Let’s make an outpost here, hide ourselves from many eyes. You can do it right, Ellia?”

“Leave it to me~”

Ellia appeared prideful as she patted her bosoms.

With her cultivation base, constructing an area-wide concealment formation that disallowed Immortal Emperors from detecting them was easy for her. It was naturally thanks to Myria’s knowledge of formations and spirit formations. However, Myria wasn’t strong enough to construct such a formation, as her cultivation base was still low.

“As for them…” Davis looked at the captured beasts before he called out a certain person.

She stepped out of the Nine Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace and smiled sweetly, her lips curling behind her veil while her white hair danced.

“Is there anything I can do, husband?”

“Tina, can you tame that golden ant queen and command its feral ant colony in a way that disallows humans to venture here…?”

“Indeed, taming that golden ant queen would allow us to control its entire colony. However, this isn’t the only queen here, right?”

“Yeah.” Davis chuckled, “There are multiple ant queens, but none of them are King-Tier, as far as we could sense, so you don’t need to worry about another ant queen trying to gain control over her colony.”

“I see.” Tina nodded, “In that case, I will try my best~”
