Chapter 3054: Taide's Message, Divine Envoy of the Burning Heavens

————It will be a bit later~~

————

Seeing that Xia Duo was interested in the Elf Mages of the Illuminati, Gu Ke'er shook his head apologetically, "I haven't even been to the Eternal Night Battlefield, so how could I have seen them?"

Afterwards, he looked at the other members of the Seven Dun Mage Association present, and the others also shook their heads one after another, "I haven't been to the Eternal Night Battlefield either."

"I have been to the Eternal Night Battlefield, but I only did some logistics work and didn't see them either. As for why they are called the Illuminati, I do know that. It is said that the squad was originally founded by a Law Book Divine Envoy. They originally wanted to establish a group to practice the Dao, but the war on the Eternal Night Battlefield was tense, so they immediately threw themselves into the battlefield, and have been there ever since."

After finishing, this Mage added an extra point, "This Illuminati was initially composed of one Law Book Divine Envoy and four Holy Sword Divine Envoys. Later, after one of the Holy Sword Divine Envoys sacrificed themselves, an Elf Mage was added. It is rumored that that Elf Mage is highly skilled in the Soul-Binding Spell and can greatly restrain demons."

Mentioning the Soul-Binding Spell, Xia Duo also recalled his experience of entering the Dream Abyss with Taide's Divine Envoy squad. At that time, he had been a bystander for almost the entire duration, only managing to bind a portion of the demon's essence at the very end.

It was precisely because of this final performance that Taide's attitude toward him changed drastically, from calling him a "mortal" at every turn at the beginning to "Mage Xia Duo" later on.

The fact that he was able to obtain Taide's Holy Seal later was largely due to this matter. Later, summoning Taide to purify the Shenyuan Zhidi on the Main Plane deepened the connection between the two sides, which led to him asking the other party to help investigate the Illuminati.

According to Taide, demons cannot be killed by conventional means. Even if they are killed for a moment, they will still be resurrected in the Abyss. Therefore, the best way to deal with demons is to seal their essence and then bring them back to the Holy City for purification.

The second way is to slowly wear down their essence during battle and then kill them, but this process is relatively long, and demons are not completely brainless; when they realize they might die, they will also flee.

Of course, the premise of wearing down a demon's essence in battle and sealing it to bring it back to the Holy City is battle itself. Battles are taking place on the Eternal Night Battlefield at every moment, and the Divine Envoys are the absolute main force.

But if there could be more Spellcasters who have mastered the Soul-Binding Spell, the war would be easier.

Although there are many demons in the Abyss, they are not truly infinite. Even if they were truly infinite, as long as the Abyss where they exist is worn away, they would naturally cease to exist.

As for whether they will evolve again later, that is a matter for the future.

The existence of the Boundless Wilderness has already proven that the Abyss is not indestructible. Xia Duo's main purpose for this trip is to investigate the Illuminati, but there is also an incidental purpose, which is what he promised Taide earlier: to teach the Soul-Binding Spell to the Holy City Mages.

Perhaps this bit of help from him will be the key straw on the scales of the war between the Kingdom of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss. Regardless of whether Xia Duo is subjectively willing or not, in fact, demons are the enemies of all civilizations, and of course, this includes the Main Plane.

Especially in the Drow War of the past few years, the Drow summoned demons on a large scale, which has already attracted the attention of the Abyss. And now, Demon Descendants have obtained permission from the Northland Alliance to operate openly in the Northland.

Demon Descendants are not equal to demons, but in the long run, whether it is researching Demon Bloodlines or trying to develop new combat power, there will always be people who set their sights on demons.

Looking at these two aspects, regardless of whether the Main Plane is willing or not, there is a high probability that there will be an opportunity to face the Abyss in the future.

As such, it is only right for Xia Duo to strengthen the power of the Order faction in advance. It is just that he cannot figure out why the Soul-Binding Spell is not exclusive to him, as the Elves clearly have it too. Why haven't the Elves spread this spell?

Is it difficult for Spellcasters who are native to the Heavenly Realm to learn it? Or do the Elves have selfish motives?

The truth is unknown, but it does not prevent Xia Duo from teaching the Soul-Binding Spell to the members of the Seven Dun Mage Association now, or even to any other Holy City Mage.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo continued to ask: "If I want to go to the Eternal Night Battlefield, what should I do?"

"It's very simple. Go out of the Holy City and keep walking east until you reach the border of the Kingdom of Radiance. That is the Eternal Night Battlefield. At the same time, that is also the border of the Boundless Wilderness. To enter the Boundless Wilderness from the outside, one must pass through the Eternal Night Battlefield; there are no restrictions on leaving. This is partly due to the great power of the Lord of Radiance, and partly due to the attributes inherited from the original Abyss."

So that's how it is!

Xia Duo suddenly realized. According to what this Mage said, one must pass through the Eternal Night Battlefield to enter the Boundless Wilderness from the outside, so he had actually already been to the Eternal Night Battlefield.

When he previously went to the Dream Abyss with Taide's Divine Envoy squad, they must have passed through the Eternal Night Battlefield on the way back, but he might not have noticed it at the time.

He only remembered passing through an Abyss named 【Pale Bingyuan】. That Abyss looked almost pure white as far as the eye could see, but within that pure white lay extreme danger.

Xia Duo had a very deep impression of that Abyss. Even recalling it now, he still had a feeling of his consciousness sinking and dissolving.

This was not even being infected by the Abyssal Aura; just having an impression of it could produce such an effect. One can imagine what would happen if one stayed in that Abyss for a long time.

However, not all Abysses are extremely harmful. Like the Pale Bingyuan, even demons cannot survive in it for a long time. To put it another way, there are no demons there, so there is no active danger to the outside.

As long as outsiders don't do anything foolish and run over there, they naturally won't be harmed by the Pale Bingyuan. It can be considered a relatively harmless type; some Divine Envoys even go to the Pale Bingyuan specifically to temper their will!

This is turning harm into a treasure.

In addition, there are some Abysses that are not very aggressive toward the outside. Xia Duo does not know much about the Abyss; he only knows that there is currently only one Abyss that is locked in a fierce battle with the Kingdom of Radiance, and that is the Eternal Night Abyss.

Just hearing the name, one knows that it and the Lord of Radiance are incompatible. The Abyss itself is the opposite of order, and Eternal Night is once again targeting the Lord of Radiance. If they didn't fight, that would be a miracle!

The Eternal Night Abyss is, as the name suggests, a realm that is forever in the dark of night. The extension of its power collided with the Kingdom of Radiance, forming the so-called Eternal Night Battlefield, which could actually also be called the Twilight Battlefield.

Because of the simultaneous action of the powers of the Lord of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss, that battlefield is in twilight for the vast majority of the time. Only when large-scale battles occur does it become bright or dim, depending on the balance of power between the two sides.

Xia Duo does indeed want to take a trip to the Eternal Night Battlefield, but not to fight, but to teach the Soul-Binding Spell and investigate the Illuminati.

He has always felt that the Illuminati of the Main Plane has tentacles reaching into the Outer Planes. If nothing else, the 【Inspiration Potion】 that involves the power of the Dream Abyss is hard to explain.

Xia Duo suddenly had a premonition that perhaps he might not achieve his goal on this trip, but he still had to make this journey.
