This war nearly destroyed the pantheon of gods in the underworld. Gods perished in droves, and those who survived were either severely injured and unable to understand their origins, or were sealed away and unable to use their divine power for the rest of their lives.
Without that war, a fool like Avogadro would never have become the ruler of the Infinite Continent.
Clint fell into deep thought. After a moment, he prepared to leave. He was going to find Dom, the god of the underworld; this was a case that needed to be investigated, and he couldn't give a human god a second chance.
...
Several of Xu Fu's entourage did not know the story behind the tentacles, and simply regarded them as a strangely shaped sewing monster.
The battlefield of gods and demons was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to distinguish east from west. Fortunately, this was not a void land with no folding space. Relying on the positioning system of the power armor, the group was able to determine the approximate location of the central area.
They flew straight ahead, encountering many hijackers along the way, but Clark unexpectedly cleared the sky. After flying for about five hours, the fog dissipated, and a bright light flashed before their eyes. It turned out to be a pile of white bones on the ground, with flowers blooming from the bones. The petals shimmered with white light, giving people a sense of holiness.
"A plain appeared, dotted with bone-white flowers."
Diane was startled. "Xu Fu, we've found him!"
Clark and Lon couldn't hide their joy either: Black Adam had said that the Valley of No Return was located on a plain dotted with white bone flowers, and the scene before them proved him right.
However, Xu Fu was not so happy: he frowned and carefully looked around: unlike other places, it was eerily quiet here, there were no sewing monsters, no undead ghosts, no strange creatures, and as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of any living thing.
The bones on the ground...
Holding the bone fragments in his hand, he was clearly dead, yet he radiated a holy light.
This is so strange!
Xu Fu instinctively sensed something was wrong. A stinging sensation seemed to start from his spine, but he didn't know why. This was the first time he had encountered something like this since his rebirth.
The bone fragments on the ground were very thick, about two meters long. Stepping on them made a crackling sound, which felt very uncomfortable, like stepping on a corpse.
Clark said in a low voice.
"For some reason, I have a very uneasy feeling, like something is watching me."
Diana looked around: "Is he there? Why can't I feel him?"
Lang closed his eyes, tested his psychic abilities for a while, and shook his head slightly.
"No fluctuations in consciousness, nothing at all."
Clark frowned and said, "But I feel like someone is watching us."
Xu Fu couldn't help but feel contempt for him: he truly deserved to be called a superman, the holder of the Codex of Life, with such a strong sense of danger.
"Xu Fu, what about you? Have you ever felt this way?"
Xu Fumo silently shook his head.
"The road home lies ahead; whatever the danger, we must overcome it."
The three men fell silent at the same time, exchanged glances, and clenched their fists in unison: Xu Fu was right, the way home was just ahead, whether it was God or the devil, but those who blocked the way had to die.
They wasted no time and continued deeper into the plain. When they passed the first bone flower, Xu Fu stopped, reached out and grabbed the stem, pulling it upwards.
The flower stem broke, and in that instant, a sigh flashed through his mind.
Xu Fu frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy. He picked up the bone flower and examined it closely. The next second, the petals scattered, turning into countless shimmering lights that splashed into the sky.
At the same time, new flowers sprouted from the broken stems, shimmering with the same divine light as before.
Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Chapter 1570 Valley of No Return
"These flowers are not right."
Xu Fu pried open the bone flower again, and the petals, just like before, began to shimmer with fluorescence before returning to their original positions.
Diana, Clark, and Lang tried it several times, but the result was the same: even if the bud flower was uprooted, it would return to its original place.
Time seems to be frozen in this world; no matter how much destruction is caused, time will always return to its starting point.
The group of people looked at each other, their faces showing disbelief and astonishment.
"Xu Fu, what kind of magic can produce such an effect?"
Xu Fu silently shook his head.
"Perhaps it's not magic, but something else."
"Don't worry about finding the Valley of No Return there."
The group instinctively avoided the bone flowers, heading only towards areas free of them. After walking for half an hour, the terrain suddenly changed; the flat land vanished, replaced by an endless canyon.
The canyon is semi-circular, gradually narrowing towards the end, like a lollipop spread on the ground.
Is this the Valley of No Return?
Diana frowned nervously: "It doesn't sound like anything special."
Clark looked up at the sky, gazing into the distance, and after a moment, he said softly.
"At the end of the 11th canyon, there is a building that looks like a temple."
"Let's go over there."
Unlike the plains, the canyon is devoid of bones, but is filled with all sorts of flowers and plants, some seemingly from the human world and others appearing to come from the underworld.
As the group walked among the flowers and plants, they had a fleeting sense of returning to Earth.
One wall had changed so drastically that even Xu Fu couldn't figure out what had happened.
As he traveled through the canyon, he inadvertently came across a severely damaged ancient temple: the stone pillars and walls were covered with various claw marks and dents, clearly the result of a battle.
There were ten statues in the temple, but unfortunately, all of them were destroyed, and the two remaining statues are headless, so it is impossible to identify who they are.
Apart from that, there was nothing else in the vast temple.
"It shouldn't be!"
Xu Fu muttered to himself, "The Demon Traces said that the ancestors of the Demon race found an entrance to a tunnel in the Valley of No Return, which seems to be in a cave."
"Clark, use your eyes to see if there's a hidden door here."
"We looked around," "and finally there was only this temple," "and nothing else."
“Strange, there seems to be a cave in the Reckless Valley, but I can’t find it now.”
"Perhaps it's magic?"
Diana stared at him: "Someone deliberately hid the cave."
"Very likely"
Xu Fu waved his hand: "Guys, come out and step back."
After everyone left, a green flame burst forth from his body, turning into a sea of fire that spread wildly in all directions. Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation on his right side. Xu Fu rushed forward, clenched his right fist, and punched hard.
Boom!
Flames flickered, the air vibrated, and the walls vanished, replaced by a cave behind the hideout.
"Of course he's here."
Xu Fu was overjoyed, and Clark's men in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief.
The group rushed to the cave and gathered around the entrance to observe carefully: the cave was very large, more than four meters high, with clear signs of rest on its surface. The inside of the cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Xu Fu said in a deep voice, "According to the information we obtained before, the entrance to Earth is inside the cave, but no one who has entered has ever come out. After investigating the Valley of No Return, the ancestors of the Demon Clan concluded that the other end of the exit is connected to destruction, and entering there is a dead end."
Diana frowned: "This shouldn't have happened thousands of years ago."
"That was before, things are different now. Perhaps the gods have sealed it away."
Xu Fu activated the Valkyrie Armor's backup program, and the miniature spider robot fell off his shoulder and quickly crawled into the cave under the control of artificial intelligence.
A beam of white light shot out from the robot's head, recording everything it saw along the way, but the signal suddenly dropped shortly afterward.
Xu Fu-mo sighed.
"Of course they weren't lying."
The spider robot has an automatic recall program; when the signal is interrupted, it returns along the original route. If it were a normal path, it should be back by now, but unfortunately, this cave connects to another world, and it can only go in, not come out.
In this situation, everyone had no choice. No one dared to risk their lives. What was even more troublesome was that even if they went in, they would not be able to send the information back.
Black holes have become abysses that devour human lives.
After a moment of silence, Clark muttered something.
"Otherwise, I'll give it a try."
Xu Fu shook his head: "There's no need for that. Wait a little longer, and I'll do it my way."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Some people have no other choice but to settle in temples.
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, the light faded and darkness descended. In the Valley of No Return, day and night alternated. Clark and Rongen hurriedly flew into the sky to observe the surrounding situation.
As night fell, the white bone flower quietly lost its brilliance, and purple spots appeared on its surface, emitting an eerie purplish-red glow. From high above, the entire plain was shrouded in a purplish-red halo, like an eggshell.
Suddenly, laughter broke out.
Several beautiful women dressed in gauze dresses and wearing veils chatted and laughed, pointing at Clark and Ron and letting out silvery laughter.
