Inside the flying vessel.

Luo Feng carefully reviewed the entire intelligence report, which included a detailed introduction of ‘General Yong Hu’ and the full account of the Food Nation’s recent attack. As a guardian of a forbidden area, Luo Feng hadn’t known as much as this report revealed.

“General Yong, from the Royal Capital of Yu Nation, cultivates the Infinite Divine Body and possesses unfathomable strength. I didn’t expect that even with the help of Hu Yang City’s grand formation, he couldn’t kill Blood Cloud,” Luo Feng mused, secretly astonished.

After this battle, Divine Monarch Blood Cloud’s reputation soared. Both Yu Nation and Food Nation would now regard him with greater importance. Yu Nation’s next move would undoubtedly involve forces stronger than General Yong, while Food Nation would leverage Divine Monarch Blood Cloud’s abilities more effectively. This was also what Divine Monarch Blood Cloud did not want to see; his future missions would become increasingly arduous and dangerous.

“On the Food Nation’s side, Blood Cloud, Yu Tianhu, and Yu Tianyi are all still alive. Given the Food Nation’s modus operandi, they won’t give up.” Luo Feng immediately piloted his flying vessel straight to the place where General Yong and Blood Cloud had clashed.

“Master, where are we going?” Molosa asked, noticing the change in route.

“To the place where General Yong and Blood Cloud fought,” Luo Feng said. Molosa looked thoughtful.

A moment later, the flying vessel arrived at the battle site. Luo Feng immediately saw a large concentration of Hu Yang Guards, who had already sealed off the area, prohibiting other citizens from approaching.

“Leave quickly,” a Hu Yang Guard ordered immediately upon seeing a flying vessel approach, intending to drive it away.

Luo Feng retracted his flying vessel, and his invisible domain protected Mo Yuqingyan. As for Molosa, he naturally didn’t need Luo Feng’s protection. The Hu Yang Guard squad, preparing to expel them, jumped in surprise when they saw Luo Feng’s appearance.

“Divine Monarch Luo He.” The Hu Yang Guards were quite respectful. They knew basic information about all the Eternal True Gods openly residing in Hu Yang City, so they naturally recognized him at a glance. When patrolling the city, they dared not provoke Eternal True Gods. Otherwise, an Eternal True God could use their miniature universe domain to conceal themselves, quietly eliminate them, and the City Lord’s Mansion would have no way to trace the killer’s identity without paying a huge price.

“I’ll just observe here,” Luo Feng said. The Hu Yang Guards dared not say more and immediately retreated.

Luo Feng looked ahead. Within the vast area sealed off by the Hu Yang Guards, there were many densely populated residential districts and some family cave dwellings. But now, it was completely empty inside! Everyone was dead, not a single one left! Intense resentment gathered in this area. Over eight billion True Gods were killed instantly. The anger, unwillingness, despair, and hatred from the moment of their deaths… all these strong emotions intertwined, forming a terrifying aura of resentment. Such a potent aura of resentment meant the Hu Yang Guards only dared to set up a perimeter, and Eternal True Gods would be dispatched to deal with it.

“Such things happen all over the Origin Continent. Not to mention me, even God-Kings cannot change any of this. This is the law of the jungle!” Luo Feng watched the scene in silence. Although laws existed, their restraining power was ultimately limited. For example, Chaos Masters who devoured the beings of an entire large city still lived freely, didn’t they? Even Mei Wuqi, who massacred citizens, could escape severe punishment by law if Luo Feng hadn’t intervened.

“Brother Luo He.” A tall figure flew over from a distance.

Luo Feng turned his head to see Entropy Flame, who was always vibrant and enthusiastic in the past, now showing a hint of sorrow.

“You’re here too,” Luo Feng said, looking at him.

“I came to bid farewell to my disciples,” Entropy Flame sighed, looking at the vast area filled with resentment. “Just tonight, 8,039 disciples of my Heaven Flame Sect died. They lived in this area.”

Luo Feng was startled. After all, the Heaven Flame Sect was a refining sect founded by Entropy Flame, and it had numerous disciples over the long years. It was normal for over eight thousand of them to reside in this area. He himself had lived in the Heaven Flame Sect for a period; perhaps these 8,039 disciples had once seen him from afar.

“Most of these disciples were ordinary, but they were still very diligent, eager to seize every opportunity,” Entropy Flame lamented. “In my Heaven Flame Sect, anyone who passes the rigorous trials has a chance to become my direct disciple.” He continued, “Among these 8,039 disciples, one was my direct disciple named Meng Shi. Meng Shi’s parents passed away when he was a child. He joined my Heaven Flame Sect when he grew up and worked incredibly hard, diligently learning every aspect of refining. He eventually passed the rigorous trials to become my direct disciple. Who would have thought that tonight, he would be caught in the disaster and die.”

Luo Feng silently gazed at the vast area, now only filled with resentment.

“I’ve received intelligence that Blood Cloud, Yu Tianhu, and Yu Tianyi, who led the Food Nation’s forces this time, are all still alive?” Entropy Flame looked at Luo Feng. “The report also says, Brother Luo He, that you intervened this time?”

“I fought with Yu Tianyi; she is quite powerful. Yu Tianhu will only be stronger!” Luo Feng said. “Especially Blood Cloud, he is much stronger than past intelligence reports indicated.”

“And much crazier than before!” Entropy Flame looked at the area ahead. “In the past, he was very restrained, never indulging in such wanton slaughter. But this time, over eight billion lives were affected! And all three of them are still alive, so there will probably be other actions!”

“The conflict between the Food Nation and Yu Nation will last for a long time,” Luo Feng said.

“Indeed, it will continue. This is my homeland; I truly don’t want to see it destroyed by the conflict between the two nations,” Entropy Flame said, looking at the area.

Luo Feng and Entropy Flame stood side by side, gazing at the vast area. After a long while, they both departed.

Naturally, Luo Feng and Entropy Flame weren’t the only Eternal True Gods who came here. All factions within Hu Yang City were shocked by this conflict! While conflicts had always existed, none had ever been so intense before. General Yong’s appearance, along with Divine Monarch Blood Cloud’s strength and madness, sent shivers through the hearts of all city factions.

At Heaven Flame Sect.

Entropy Flame returned and summoned his old servant.

“Sect Master.” A metallic life-form bowed respectfully.

“Uncle Qiu,” Entropy Flame said with a smile, looking at him. “I need your help with something.”

“Sect Master, you’re always so polite,” Uncle Qiu said with a grin, his golden face shining brightly as he smiled.

Entropy Flame looked at Uncle Qiu. When he had returned alone to his hometown, Hu Yang City, he had searched the entire city and only found his former household servant, Uncle Qiu. Later, when he established the Heaven Flame Sect, Uncle Qiu became his most trusted confidant, helping him manage all the sect’s trivial matters, big and small.

“This confidential letter I’m giving you, once my karma dissipates, you are to immediately send it to the five individuals on the list,” Entropy Flame instructed.

“Karma dissipates?” The metallic life-form, Uncle Qiu, stared at Entropy Flame in surprise. “Sect Master, you’ve always enjoyed teaching disciples, always enjoyed making friends. This world is still wonderful and interesting; please don’t give up…”

“I’m not looking for death, I’m just preparing to do something rather dangerous,” Entropy Flame replied.

“Dangerous? Sect Master, must you do it?” Uncle Qiu looked at him.

“This matter is very meaningful,” Entropy Flame said with a radiant smile. “After returning to Hu Yang City, I hoped that every day of my future would be meaningful. I must do this.”

With that, Entropy Flame turned and left.

“Sect Master.” Uncle Qiu watched Entropy Flame’s departing back, tears streaming down his face.

At Dream Flower Pavilion.

Entropy Flame came here.

“Entropy Flame, what brings you here?” The Dream Flower Pavilion Master smiled as she came to see him. As one of the two Eternal True Gods in the city most infatuated with her, the Dream Flower Pavilion Master still cared about Entropy Flame.

“I wanted to see you,” Entropy Flame said, looking at the Dream Flower Pavilion Master.

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master’s divine body contained the Source of Laws she had comprehended. In her presence, one could naturally see the figure they most desired in their heart. In Entropy Flame’s eyes, the Dream Flower Pavilion Master had already taken on the appearance of his wife, her aura, her smile.

“Are you just going to stare at me like that?” the Dream Flower Pavilion Master chuckled. “Shall I join you for a few drinks?”

“Alright,” Entropy Flame smiled and nodded.

“Do you know what happened tonight? That Divine Monarch Blood Cloud massacred over eight billion beings within Hu Yang City,” the Dream Flower Pavilion Master exclaimed. “It’s truly terrifying. I fear Hu Yang City will not know peace from now on.”

“It is terrifying,” Entropy Flame said, raising his wine cup. “Let’s drink.”

They chatted idly like this, drinking wine. After an unknown period, Entropy Flame bid farewell and left. The Dream Flower Pavilion Master personally saw him off.

“Strange.”

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master watched Entropy Flame disappear into the night sky, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “Entropy Flame today spoke differently than usual.” She then dismissed the thought and returned to her Dream Flower Pavilion.

Flying through the night sky, Entropy Flame looked at the bustling city, a place where he held many beautiful memories.

“All my treasures and cosmic sand stored in the Dark Hall, if I die, please transfer them to Divine Monarch Luo He.” Entropy Flame saw an ordinary cave dwelling in the distance and immediately contacted the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild. Long ago, he had placed all his valuable treasures and cosmic sand in the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild.

Entropy Flame flew to the front of that cave dwelling.

“Open the door,” Entropy Flame urged.

The cave dwelling door opened, and Entropy Flame flew inside. Inside this ordinary cave dwelling, in front of a pavilion, Sang Shuiyun sat drinking alone, looking dejected.

“You’re here,” Sang Shuiyun said, looking at him. In all of Hu Yang City, only Entropy Flame could easily enter Sang Shuiyun’s cave dwelling.

“Mm,” Entropy Flame walked over and sat down beside him.

“Drink with me,” Sang Shuiyun said, tossing over a wine gourd.

Entropy Flame took the wine gourd and looked at it. “Brother Sang, when we were both in Hu Yang City, we were all alone. Seeing you, I felt as if I was looking at my own reflection. Like me, you’re infatuated with the Dream Flower Pavilion Master, and like me, you have no attachments…”

“No, you do have attachments. You established the Heaven Flame Sect and trained many refining disciples,” Sang Shuiyun said.

“I always thought you were just like me,” Entropy Flame said, looking at Sang Shuiyun.

“You and I are indeed alike. You are also my only friend in Hu Yang City,” Sang Shuiyun looked at him. “In fact, you could be considered my only friend in this world.”

“We are actually different,” Entropy Flame said softly. “I’ve gradually realized that you don’t care about anything; you wouldn’t even care about destroying the world. Even if it were me, if you decided to kill me, you wouldn’t hesitate, would you?”

Sang Shuiyun frowned, looking at him. “Brother Entropy, what are you talking about?”

“In all of Hu Yang City, I am the only one you couldn’t deceive,” Entropy Flame looked at Sang Shuiyun. “If you hadn’t started acting so wildly, I truly wouldn’t have wanted to expose you.”

Sang Shuiyun stared at him in silence, his eyes turning cold.

“Divine Monarch Blood Cloud, I haven’t mistaken you, have I?” Entropy Flame looked at him.
