Chapter 809

Su Han exhaled a long, turbid breath, then flew for a while through the air.

As he flew, he used Kenbunshoku Haki to scan a hundred li around the Sacred King Beast Tomb.

Yet in the end, he still found no trace of Zhu Que.

"Looks like this time, I'll have to return empty-handed......."

"But it's not a big deal—if Zhu Que wants to invade the real world, I'll sense it immediately; if she dares show herself to me, she's dead for sure."

Su Han felt a pang of regret.

What he regretted was not having eradicated all four Sacred Beasts of the Underground Caverns.

But... it was only regret; Zhu Que wasn't even worthy of being a threat.

As Su Han circled through the Underground Caverns, his expression gradually grew grave.

Although he found no trace of the Sacred King Zhu Que, he noticed the caverns' condition was drastically different from last time.

Everywhere were signs of corruption by dark, fallen energy.

One powerful beast after another had become dark beasts.

Among these... dark fallen beasts, there were even sovereign-level entities.

Fallen beasts and uncorrupted beasts.

The entire Underground Caverns lay in ruins.

Everywhere were battles; after traveling only a few thousand li, he encountered another large-scale battle between beasts slaughtering each other.

Su Han even had the illusion that the entire Underground Caverns were in combat.

Not a single place was peaceful.

Watching, watching, Su Han fell silent.

The beasts' escape from the tomb's influence seemed far greater than he'd imagined.

Then Su Han let out a soft sigh.

"Looks like we don't need to worry about the Underground Caverns invading Earth."

The Underground Caverns have already collapsed.

The beast sovereigns and fallen sovereigns are fighting so fiercely their brains are about to burst; under these conditions, the Underground Caverns have neither time nor energy to bother Earth.

"But this dark fallen energy... is too terrifying! If it invades the real world, even if I can suppress all chaos... if darkness spreads,

even I will struggle to eradicate it."

Su Han circled back and returned to his original location.

His brows tightened.

He had already sensed vaguely that this fallen darkness was not the power of any single powerful being.

It was more like a part of the world's rules—chaos devouring order.

After a moment of thought, Su Han's eyes flickered faintly, and he made his decision: "Fine! I'll pay more attention to this in the future."

To be fair, Su Han very much wanted to resolve this catastrophe.

But on one hand, even now, Su Han couldn't fully understand the origin of the Underground Caverns' darkness.

He didn't know how to even begin dealing with it.

And on the other hand, if the Underground Caverns truly collapsed, Su Han wouldn't feel the slightest anger—he'd cheer and clap.

As long as the real world remained unharmed, Su Han didn't care what happened to the Underground Caverns world.

Although he needed to worry about the risk of "when the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold," Su Han believed that with his growth rate, by the time the darkness had fully consumed the Underground Caverns and moved toward the real world, his power would likely be sufficient to comprehend—and even resolve—the root of the darkness.

"Since this problem doesn't need worrying about, let's go back!"

Su Han thought once, and a temporal tunnel instantly formed before him; he stepped forward into it.

Appearing in his villa, Su Han stretched, then lay directly on the bed, the Reincarnation eye in his gaze rippling with waves.

"Compared to the real world, the atmosphere in the Underground Caverns feels far more oppressive..."

He paused, then suddenly realized.

"No... more accurately, the atmosphere in the Underground Caverns is far more oppressive than when I last went there.

So, is it a problem with the world itself?"

Returning to the world and further confirming the differences between the two worlds, Su Han became more certain that the catastrophe in the Underground Caverns was a problem of world-concept.

After a moment of thought, Su Han stopped considering this issue, closed his eyes, and entered the Gong Li Nuohao Society chat room.

Fourth Hokage: "Kui is a real man—killing gods? Just... one word: awesome!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "From start to finish! I'm feeling my blood surge with excitement now; no more talking—I'm off to the Navy Headquarters to turn things upside down."

Come Be My Son: "...... Go ahead, little black cat! But watch your safety, village."

: "Fake Ba Zhanshen! Like Kui—with tired eyes! Pathetic HP bar! Unexplainable dark history.

The true Ba Zhanshen is like Atreus—with noble divine blood! Four arrows per second! Determined gaze.

Fluent in eight languages!"

Atreus: "...... Please stop talking!"

Atreus saw the messages in the guild chat room and suddenly felt like dying.

So damn embarrassing.

He now wanted to shut himself away completely.
