Chapter 1291: Chapter 86 Thinking of Danger in Times of Safety_2 Chapter 1291: Chapter 86 Thinking of Danger in Times of Safety_2 “Uh? Not even half? When we’ve already exterminated the creatures of the Abyss, why has it increased by so little?”

“Even if one takes over the land of the Abyss, it doesn’t mean total control, let alone now when only half of the Abyss’s territory is occupied. You think the increase isn’t much, but I believe the progress has been quite substantial. Right now, it seems little because the Abyssal race has not been completely wiped out. Even if just one remains, it signifies that a tribe has not been completely eradicated. That tribe, being beyond the surveillance of Heaven’s Path, represents gaps in Heaven’s Path’s oversight.”

“I see. Then, we must intensify our efforts, striving to completely exterminate the devils of the Abyss in the near future!”

Feng Yin contemplated for a moment, then immediately made arrangements, “There are still many remnants of the Abyss! Check which tribes have been overlooked, and report it to the continent. Have them show their faces!”

“And those deep areas that haven’t been searched yet, we need to send masters to lead the sweeps.”

This bout of strategic maneuvering caused all the demon clans to tense up.

Damn… which tribe caused such a big commotion?

Everyone became instantly vigilant.

Feng Yin continued the conversation with the Illusory Silkworm.

“How’s the situation over there now?”

“It’s still calm, the master of the Abyss has not made any moves!”

“Isn’t that a bit strange?”

Feng Yin frowned, “The quieter it is, the more likely a major action is being prepared, which is certain.”

The Illusory Silkworm’s response added some pressure to Feng Yin, who also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, it was currently calm, with no signs of trouble.

As long as nothing unexpected happened right now, everything would be perfectly fine.

Feng Yin had imagined more than once that while he was slaughtering widely or chasing the ancient ancestors of the Abyss, the master of the Abyss could suddenly arrive. The situation would undoubtedly change drastically, creating the most deadly and uncontrollable circumstance.

Fortunately, he had dealt with the ancestor of the Abyss first, and the plan to extinguish the devils of the Abyss was also going very smoothly. Assisting the Illusory Silkworm in completely taking control of this world was just a matter of time.

But what came next was confronting the master of the Abyss, yet before that, there were still issues to be resolved…

“We’ve conquered this area; the residual evil of the Abyssal demonic beasts is nothing more than a minor nuisance — given time, they can all be eradicated. However, what should we do with this channel between worlds?”

Feng Yin looked at the numerous channeled pathways resembling a honeycomb and couldn’t help feeling a headache.

The Illusory Silkworm also had a splitting headache over this.

To ordinary people, it was like a bottomless cliff.

To put it a bit dramatically: If I fall off this cliff, I definitely won’t die from the fall!

Because I’ll starve to death before hitting the bottom!

Luckily, for practitioners with achievements, these channels are merely pathways going down or coming up.

This is the difference between cultivators and ordinary people — there’s no comparison.

Ordinary people living to a hundred can be considered long-lived, but any practitioner with accomplishments… commonly resides in the world for tens of thousands of years!

If reincarnation exists and ordinary people live long lives each time, after a few hundred reincarnations, those advanced practitioners are still living well.

How could you possibly compare?

But now, such a pathway has become a huge problem.

Not only the pathway itself.

Because there are gaps in the seal that divides the side of Dark Soul from the Abyss!

Dark Soul, also known as Evil Spirits, can enter the continent through these gaps at any time!

Just like how they previously slipped in and devoured the Abyssal race.

According to the intelligence we have, for Evil Spirits, coming here is a piece of cake.

Now, for some reason, they haven’t come yet. But they definitely will — that’s a fact!

“This… right now, there really isn’t a good solution.”

The Illusory Silkworm was somewhat worried, “If I could recover more than fifty percent of my strength, I could seal this channel completely using the Power of Rules. But I can’t right now, my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.”

Feng Yin said in frustration, “So you see, this Heaven’s Path has absolutely no saving grace… What use are you really?!”

The Illusory Silkworm became infuriated, “Look at how capable you think you are. Why don’t you say… why don’t you say how much of Heaven’s grain tax you’ve not paid? Pay it up! Settle it in one go, you’re so capable, no credit allowed, hand it all over!”

Feng Yin grimly paid the grain tax numerous times in succession, then walked away feeling extremely vexed.

Several dozen times, huh. No ordinary person could handle that, only Feng Yin, who had recently made progress in his cultivation…

Psh, how am I speaking? Although paying the grain tax also depletes one’s physical strength, stamina, and vital energy, it’s not quite the same kind of grain tax, is it? Seems like there really isn’t a fundamental difference after all?!

Damn, I’m not talking about this anymore. How is it that the more I say, the less clear it becomes?!

Feng Yin was depressed.

…

After much thought, Feng Yin gathered the nearby Demon Emperors.

Each of the Demon Emperors was brimming with happiness and excitement, unable to stop smiling.

To unexpectedly solve an ancient enmity and gain such tangible benefits, the greatest crisis that had troubled the demon race for tens of millions or even billions of years was instantly resolved.

How could they not be elated, how could they be anything but joyful?

If it weren’t for the remnants of the Abyss still lingering, posing a hidden danger, they would wish to immediately celebrate with ten days and nights of unrestrained revelry, singing, and drinking to oblivion!

On hearing that Doctor Feng had called for a meeting, each one arrived eagerly, with eyes full of bright hopes for the future.
