"With my remaining strength, I can conceal Soul Land within the void for three years," he said. "Even a Divine King will not be able to detect the existence of Soul Land within these three years."
Besides, I will grant you one more opportunity for creation. If you come to understand it, you will definitely break through to the realm of the Divine King within three years. However, if you fail to comprehend anything, your doom will arrive after these three years."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "At this point, it seems I really have no other choice, right? Please do tell me what I should do, senior."
"I give you seven days to deal with the trivial matters of Soul Land. After seven days, find a secluded place to begin your closed-door cultivation."
"Understood."
Qin Xiao nodded, then left the Spirit Space.
When he opened his eyes, he realized the battle over Spirit City had nearly come to an end.
The corpses of abyssal creatures piled up like mountains.
Of course, the loss of humanity was also extremely severe.
Qin Xiao fell silent for a while.
No need to ask.
He knew that humanity was facing an unprecedented disaster.
And no one would be spared in this catastrophe.
"Your Highness..."
At that moment, several excited voices called out in unison.
Qin Xiao turned around to see Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and others rushing towards him.
"It's good that you are all safe."
Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Qin Xiao was still very relieved.
This was normal.
How many people are truly selfless?
Qin Xiao saw Zhao Wuji, too, "Old Zhao, you have worked hard."
"Hehe, this is what I should do," Zhao Wuji said with a laugh, scratching his head.
Qin Xiao then looked towards Liu Erlong, "How great were the losses for the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan?"
Liu Erlong thought seriously for a moment, "Although the losses are heavy, they are acceptable. Thankfully, we have formed an alliance with the major forces on Soul Land and gathered in Spirit City, where we still hold some power to resist; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, what was said was true.
Sea God's Island was an excellent example.
With the Black Emperor, a top-10 strength from the abyssal plane, descending, it was fortunate that we had Sea God's Trident, along with Poseissi and many Sea Soul Masters and sea soul beasts, to counter some of the forces from the abyssal plane.
What about those powers far inferior to Sea God's Island?
Undoubtedly,
Other than 'destruction', Qin Xiao could not think of another word.
"The war is not over yet; there are still a large number of abyssal creatures scattered all over Soul Land, which will take a long time to purge. Do not relax your vigilance easily."
Qin Xiao reminded Liu Erlong.
"You're right, we indeed need to work together,"
"And the war will last longer than we imagined."
"Destruction is easy, creation is hard. Even after the abyssal creatures are purged, planning the reconstruction is yet another big issue."
"..."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Bi Bidong, and a seriously wounded Qiandaoliu, among others, also walked over.
They agreed with Qin Xiao's words.
"This matter can only be left to you all now."
"Are you leaving?"
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, everyone was stunned.
The intention to leave was not concealed in his words at all.
Even Ning Rongrong, who stood beside Qin Xiao, subconsciously tightened her grip on his clothes.
Qin Xiao gently patted Ning Rongrong's hand, "Don't worry, I'm just leaving for a while. My Cultivation Level has advanced too quickly, and some foundations are unstable; I need time to solidify them."
He did not mention the crisis in the Divine Realm to anyone.
Because with their abilities, they simply could not solve it; it would only increase their panic.
"I see," said Ning Rongrong as she let go of Qin Xiao's hand.
Of course, Ning Rongrong was easy to deceive.
Qiandaoliu, Ning Fengzhi, and others were somewhat skeptical about Qin Xiao's words, but they did not inquire further.
It's better to know less about the affairs of the martial world, as understanding some things might not benefit oneself.
Afterward, Qin Xiao struck with thunderous might, killing most of the abyssal powerhouses.
Among these were the Heavenly Bull Emperor and Bee Emperor, mighty beings from the top 10 layers of the abyss.
The remaining abyssal creatures were no longer a coherent force and couldn't pose much of a threat.
For the next five days, Qin Xiao didn't go anywhere; he stayed in a small courtyard within Spirit City, cherishing the time with the women.
No one disturbed them during those five days.
On the morning of the sixth day, the lively courtyard suddenly quieted down.
Because Qin Xiao had left.
He left them with these words, "This departure is only to ensure a better reunion next time."
...
Tiandou Empire.
Tiandou City.
Qin Xiao arrived at the outskirts of the city, which was a sight of devastation.
The once grand and majestic city was now only ruins and rubble.
The smoke of gunpowder still filled the air, unable to dissipate the pungent smell of blood.
It was hard to imagine the severe ferocity that had taken place here.
Fortunately, the disaster had passed, and under the lead of the Douluo Alliance, or the Douluo Federation, many people were active inside and outside the city, beginning the rebuilding process.
Walking through Tiandou City, Qin Xiao was filled with emotions.
After all, his memories of this city were remarkably profound.
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"The knowledge I'm teaching you is unbeatable. You must study hard, understand?"
Curious, Qin Xiao followed the voice.
In a short while, he arrived at a dilapidated courtyard where Yu Xiaogang, tattered and unkempt, was enthusiastically imparting his knowledge to a few children.
They were all seven or eight years old, obviously commoners whose Martial Spirits had failed to awaken.
"Xiaosan, do you remember the ten core competencies I taught you yesterday?"
