Although he did not say it directly, the meaning behind Wen Yu's words was already very clear.
He could help with this task, and although the future was uncertain and full of dangers, the plan itself was greatly enticing to him.
The world restructuring plan... exchanging time for space, escaping the sovereign's gaze, and then leaving without a trace, never to be involved in these chaotic disputes again... a path that couldn't truly be considered a retreat, a shameful escape...
But who cares? Who would resort to such measures if they weren't pushed to a dead end?
Seeing that Wen Yu agreed, Bai finally revealed a smile and continued speaking.
"I don't know much, well, or rather, I only have limited knowledge about this Sea of Lava. In fact, the immortal emperor once visited the Heart of the Demon Realm. While he may not have understood everything inside deeply, at least he wouldn't be as clueless as we are right now. So, we've already passed the most uncertain part of the journey. Once we enter the Heart of the Demon Realm, the dangers will be relatively greater, but the immortal emperor also left behind many solutions."
Wen Yu liked hearing thisârelatively greater danger was still just relative. This action of deepening into the Heart of the Demon Realm undoubtedly had great risks, but with Wen Yu's current strength as a foundation, the risk was always within a controllable range. However, the moment he said this, the expressions of the three Avengers, Leogua and the others, were not as pleasant.
The risks in the Sea of Lava were already unbearable for them. If the risks increased by another three points, wouldn't that mean their lives were at stake...?
But their opinions didn't really matter; Bai continued to explain what he knew to Wen Yu.
He squatted down, drew a circle on the flesh wall of the Devourer with his finger, and then marked a small dot at the center of the circle.
"This is the demon realm profile. This small dot represents the location of the Heart of the Demon Realm, which is also our target. According to the information left by the immortal emperor, from the outside, it looks like a gigantic flesh tumor. In reality, the Heart of the World was not originally formed this way, but the Demon Realm is unique. As you can see, the Demon Realm once faced a crisis sufficient to destroy the world. Theoretically, the Heart of the World should have long collapsed, but due to the presence of twelfth level strongmen and the demon lord, he used means to implant this tumor in the Heart of the Demon Realm, replacing part of the function of the Heart of the World."
"And outwardly, this is the residence of the demon lord, also known as the Demon Palace!"
"So, this is the demon lord's stronghold?"
Wen Yu asked, and Bai simply nodded. He understood Wen Yu's concernsâthis group of little bugs sneaking into the stronghold of a twelfth level strongman to steal something, it really was living on the edge...
However, the essence of the matter was indeed not as dangerous as Wen Yu imagined. Bai continued, "The Heart of the Demon Realm, well, let's temporarily call this flesh tumor the Heart of the Demon Realm. The situation inside is very special. It may not look big, but there is an extremely vast space inside, which is likely due to some kind of spatial compression technology. Furthermore, according to the immortal emperor, the demon lord's condition is quite poor. He cannot leave the Demon Palace, and even within the palace, he cannot move freely. At most, he can send out a doppelgänger to handle some issues. Our target this time is very far from where the demon lord is, so he does not pose a threat."
"The main threat lies within the Demon Palace itself..."
"The Demon Palace itself?"
Bai nodded, "Exactly the Demon Palace itself. Although it has âpalace' in its name, it is not a building. Comparatively, it is more like a living entity. You should have heard my conversation with the immortal emperor; the place referred to as the origin of the Demon Realm is right here..."
