Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

Wen Yu picked up the wine bowl and took a small sip, the large bowl effectively concealing the embarrassment on his face—one could call it empiricism or simply a case of being blind to what's under one's nose.

When Tang Haofei recounted the experiences of his previous life, Wen Yu naturally assumed that the location of the origin extraction device in this life would be the same as in the last.

However, there was no script for this matter; the demonic clan could make the origin extraction device appear wherever they wanted, making it an inherently uncertain event. Yet, when Tang Haofei mentioned Mount Fuji in Japan, Wen Yu had no doubts whatsoever.

It was a terrifying inertia.

After a brief reflection on his actions, Wen Yu turned to Bai.

"So, you came here for the origin extraction device?"

"Partly," Bai replied, clinking cups with the boisterous Zhang Shaojie beside him, neither confirming nor denying.

Bai didn't beat around the bush with Wen Yu, openly expressing that he had some self-serving motives—being a giant of the demonic path in the Immortal Heroic World, it was hard to believe he was a heroic knight ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good and resolve the troublesome origin extraction device for Earth.

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu's deeply hidden wariness or having figured out some key points, Bai set down his wine bowl and began to speak slowly.

"When it comes to the origin extraction device, I should have quite the authority to speak on it."

Wen Yu nodded, acknowledging this fact.

"So, you might as well listen to my views and insights."

"Go ahead."

"The origin extraction device will appear at the sixth level; this is a confirmed matter. According to our research, there may be certain limitations on the application of the origin extraction device. In short, the origin extraction device in the Immortal Heroic World has only appeared once at the sixth level."

"You understand the dangers of this device as well. Resolving the origin extraction device in the Immortal Heroic World is simple, as we have an existing cultivation system. However, Earth is different; everyone is at the sixth level, and there are no supernatural powers that set you apart. Therefore, you can estimate the threat this device poses to Earth."

"Let me first explain the operational principle of the origin extraction device—on the surface, it looks like a hollow pipe inserted into the Earth's core, extracting the planet's origin power in large quantities to transport back to the Demon Realm. But in reality, this device requires a complex pre-installation process."

"On one hand, when the origin extraction device appears, a massive teleportation channel will manifest above the preset location. This teleportation channel fully connects both realms, and the origin extraction device uses this to transmit origin power to another world. In other words, the space required for the origin extraction device is quite extensive, and its appearance will not go unnoticed."

"On the other hand, the defensive capability of the origin extraction device itself is not strong enough—due to material issues, the hardness of the device is insufficient to break through the planet's surface, which means the demonic clan needs to first clear a path to the Earth's core. Yes, I can see from your expression that you've figured something out—correct, this will be a monumental engineering task. From a certain perspective, Mount Fuji is a decent choice; after all, it's an active volcano, which alleviates some of the preliminary work for the demonic clan, but this is not a decisive factor."

Wen Yu nodded thoughtfully—given the power of professionals, gathering a large amount of manpower and resources could create a direct tunnel to the Earth’s core within a short time. Therefore, Mount Fuji, or any active volcano for that matter, is merely convenient but not essential.

"The last point concerns the tactical proficiency of the demonic clan. The strategy of the real and the false is something they excel at. In the Immortal Heroic World, the demonic clan once arranged three main locations and eight backup locations. Until the very second the origin extraction device appeared, no one could know where it would show up. My trip to the African continent is simply because I believe this is an excellent choice for the demonic clan, which is why I'm here to investigate the situation."
