Wen Yu slightly nodded, disregarding the surrounding environment, and directly walked towards the middle-aged man in front of him.
For Wen Yu, the Immortal Heroic World and its natives no longer occupied his thoughts.
The main concern was how to face the upcoming meeting with the Heavenly Dao.
“Over here, your highness the young master,” the middle-aged man said as he led Wen Yu off the transmission platform at the mountain top, navigating the rugged path.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a massive cave.
Noticing Wen Yu's confusion, the member of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance offered a slight apology.
“Your highness the young master, you may not know this, but the stronghold of humans on the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace is all located within the mountains.”
The middle-aged man then pointed to the towering mountain ahead.
“This mountain has been hollowed out by us; it appears unchanged on the outside, but inside, it has been transformed into a large-scale war fortress.”
Wen Yu nodded in understanding and then spoke again.
“I haven't really been to the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace, so I may need you to explain the situation here in more detail.”
“Understood, your highness.”
“The Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace is mostly mountainous. When the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor created the Heavenly Palace, he considered that it would serve as the foundation of the Immortal Heroic World. If necessary, it could even replace the Immortal Heroic World itself, becoming the last survival space for the human race. The Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace is a critical point in this regard.”
“Here is the source of all the mineral resources in the Heavenly Palace!”
“All mineral resources, spirit stone resources, and even spirit beast resources are stored in the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace. The value of these crucial strategic materials is something the young master can imagine.”
Wen Yu nodded—what is war fought over? According to the history of wars on Earth, ancient wars were fought over population, while modern wars were fought over resources. In the conflict against the demonic clan, the mode of war had changed again.
In this war of races, both population and resources are contested!
The importance of minerals is self-evident—without steel equipment, magical treasures, how could the human race of the Immortal Heroic World fight against the sharp fangs and claws of the demonic clan?
“It's precisely for this reason that during the final battle, the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace became the most intense battlefield in the entire Heavenly Palace. It was also the place with the most complete warfare system—whether in terms of warriors or weapons of war, the numbers in the Seventh Layer are the highest.”
“But this also led to a problem—when we were revived, we discovered the demonic clan was attacking once again. Due to the high defensive power and strategic value of the Seventh Layer, it has also become a key target for the demonic clan.”
Even if they were reborn, the situation had not changed much...
“That is why the Heavenly Dao Lord has launched the hunting reward plan on the Seventh Layer, which can be seen as a relief for us.”
Everything has two sides—Wen Yu thought that the ridiculous hunting reward plan, which seemed impossible to be worse, was great news for the warriors stationed at the Seventh Layer.
Anyone who could participate in this hunting reward plan, even if their level has not reached level seven, would have a crushing advantage against the peak level seven demonic creatures.
This also meant that among those participating in this hunting reward plan, Wen Yu's combat power would likely be among the lowest.
Wen Yu had already anticipated this, but it was not a big problem—especially for a limit breaker like him, temporary weakness of strength couldn’t bind him.
As long as there were enough demonic creatures, Wen Yu's strength would surely soar.
