During this period, Sally has been steadily accumulating power, preparing for the next opening of Voranthos.

And this time, the energy from Demon Abyss can completely eliminate the process of her energy accumulation.

Upon the command of Aster Grant, Sally hesitated not in the slightest.

She began absorbing this power immediately.

Meanwhile, Aster Grant was not idle, as he brought several Beastbond to the very center of Demon Domain.

In front of the remaining nine Demon Gates.

Due to Abyss’s death, the tenth Demon Gate has completely dissipated.

The remaining nine Demon Gates correspond to the nine remaining Demon Gods.

After some observation, Aster discovered that upon each of the remaining Demon Gates were intricate golden seal lines.

Upon careful perception, he found the power to be familiar, yet he could not recall where he had seen it before.

It was at this moment.

Elara Crimson, Zane Drake, and others had successfully dealt with the battlefield and arrived here.

Zane Drake approached Aster Grant with the intention of speaking, only to be stopped by Aster.

"Drake, I am also part of Alternate Space, so let’s skip the gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Zane Drake was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips.

This cheeky boy...

Subsequently, Zane Drake’s gaze followed Aster Grant to the Demon Gates.

"Aster, almost all the Demon Clan in Alternate Space have been eradicated, and Demon Abyss is deceased."

"As long as the remaining Demon Gates do not have issues, Alternate Space will stabilize!"

"You have been on a relentless journey, why not take this time to rest?"

Upon hearing Zane Drake’s suggestion, Aster shook his head.

"Drake, I just feel the Abyss isn’t that simple."

"Let’s first repair Voranthos and uncover all truths!"

Aster is eager to know who sealed Abyss.

Was it truly him who led the Elf Queen to arrange all this?

And humans within the Abyss...

How are they?

Hence, he decides not to pause.

Seeing Aster’s choice, Zane Drake does not offer opposition.

Currently, Aster’s power is the apex of Alternate Space.

He lacks reason or ability to halt Aster’s quest for truth.

He merely reminds silently:

"Aster, regardless of circumstances, Alternate Space and Azurea are your home!"

"Ensuring your own safety is paramount!"

Upon hearing Zane Drake’s advice, Aster nods.

Subsequently, Aster’s gaze shifts to Sally.

At the moment, she has absorbed all the power dispersed by the Demon God.

And Aster gathers all Beastbond into Beastbond Space.

He walks towards Sally, ready to embark on the truth-seeking journey.

As Sally perceives Aster’s determination.

A massive energy erupts from Sally’s body.

In the sky above, a familiar shadow of Voranthos emerges once more.

After nodding to the remaining crowd, Aster enters without much hesitation.

...

Within Demon Abyss.

Hearthfire Camp.

In the camp’s central hall, the atmosphere is exceptionally heavy.

Clara Hollis sits in the main position.

Draped in a dark purple suit made from Vicious Beast leather, showcasing a graceful yet powerful figure.

Her long black hair is simply tied at the back, revealing a smooth forehead and deep purple eyes as vast as night.

At this moment, these eyes, always calm and wise, are filled with shock.

Because she received a message... that made her question her sanity.

"The Tenth Layer, the aura of Demon Abyss... has completely vanished!"

"Simultaneously, the active Demon Clan in the Tenth Layer reduced by over ninety percent, High Demons nearly extinct, Demonic Qi concentration drastically dropped, suspected..."

"Suspected collapse of the Demon God!"

Upon speaking these words.

"Shhh—!"

The high-ranking members of Hearthfire, standing in the hall’s sides.

All drew a sharp breath.

Their faces are suddenly occupied with shock, confusion, and deep doubt.

"Demon God...dead?"

"How can it be?! That was the Tenth Layer’s ruler, reigning for countless ages in Demon Abyss! What existence could cause its downfall?"

"Could it be a misread, or a trap set by the Demon God?"

"But the essence of the Demon God has vanished... that’s irrefutable! What trap requires the Demon God to destroy its essence?"

"Could it be an unimaginable upheaval in the Tenth Layer?"

The hum of discussions arises, each person feels a chill on their scalp.

In a place like Demon Abyss, the Demon God is the absolute overlord, the rule-maker and destruction incarnate.

Demon God’s downfall is something they never imagined!

Amid the discussions.

Clara Hollis raises her hand; the hall falls silent instantly.

She takes a deep breath, suppressing the shock within.

The death of Demon Abyss...

Indicates the Tenth Layer’s ruling structure will utterly collapse.

The Demons in that area will fall into unprecedented turmoil and weakness.

Possibly triggering chain reactions impacting adjoining layers Eight and Nine!

For the Hearthfire Association, resisting Demon Clan encroachment in Demon Abyss crevices, it’s undoubtedly a rare breathing opportunity.

But more importantly...

The reason!

Why did the Demon God perish?

Was it internal conflict within deeper Abyss layers?

Or some unknown Abyss catastrophe threatening Demon God Level?

Or...

In Clara’s mind, suddenly Aster Grant’s portrait flashes.

Could it be that Savior Lord?!

A thought that speeds her heart’s beat emerges uncontrollably.

Aside from that legendary existence, she really can’t fathom why the Demon God would die.

So this Savior exterminated Demon Abyss.

Might he appear soon on the Tenth Layer?

This notion sends shivers through her body.

Searching for this Savior is the generational aim of the entire Hearthfire Association.

Now, hope seems to emerge.

While Clara Hollis is lost in thought, an elder steps forward, inquires solemnly.

"Leader, what should our response be?"

As one of the organization’s elders, he knows the gravity of this matter.

Clara Hollis contemplates silently for a moment, reopens her eyes with determination.

"Inform all outposts on Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Layer to enter highest alert status, closely watching Demon Clan movements, especially the region bordering Tenth Layer."

"Without my orders, any actions are strictly forbidden!"

"Yes!"

"Moreover, I must personally visit the Tenth Layer."

"What?!" the crowd is startled.

Knowing Clara is crucial to the survival of the entire Hearthfire Association.

If anything befalls her...

"Leader, absolutely not!"

The Tenth Layer’s situation is unclear; despite the Demon God’s fall, dangers abound!"

But Clara shakes her head, her tone indisputable:

"I have already decided; further discussion is unnecessary!"

"Meeting adjourned!"

...
