Chapter 555 - Chapter 555 It Was Really Worth It

Chapter 555: It Was Really Worth It! Chapter 555: It Was Really Worth It! In a sense, this could be considered the pride of a demon.

Looking at the many demons gathered below, Su Mo did not hesitate and waved his hand.”

“Let’s go! Let’s head to Fallen Star Lake!”

The group of demons agreed.

..

The speed of the neo-demons was much faster than Su Mo had imagined.

This was mainly because almost all of them were great demons, so there wasn’t much of a burden on their speed.

Moreover, they had obtained a detailed map from Xiong Sui.

But even so, they still spent a full seven days on their journey to the Fallen Star Lake.

Along the way, they encountered unexpected dangers three times.

Both times were relatively mild.

Only the last time they encountered a group of strange creatures that came out of the broken temple, they suffered a considerable loss.

In the end, only 80% of them arrived at Fallen Star Lake safely.

Later, Su Mo found out that 80% was already considered good.

Some small factions that came to Fallen Star Lake accidentally encountered a strange calamity on the way and were directly wiped out.

From this, one could see how dangerous the Origin World was.

Even traveling outside was not an easy task.

However, after arriving at their destination, there was no need to consider these things for the time being.

Falling Star Lake was even bigger than Su Mo had imagined.

Rather than calling it a lake, it was more like an ocean.

At the very least, standing on one side of the lake, it was difficult to see the other side.

The entire lake was not as empty as ordinary lakes.

There were man-made corridors and islands in the lake.

The scattered islands were like scattered chess pieces, surrounding a black-red mountain in the center.

However, that was not a mountain. Su Mo, who had done his homework, knew that it was a meteorite that had fallen from the sky, and it was also the main culprit that had created the entire Falling Star Lake.

Looking at the 10,000-foot-tall meteorite, Su Mo found it hard to imagine what it would look like when it hit the ground.

One had to know that a meteorite with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers had once fallen from the Earth Sphere, directly destroying the entire dinosaur era.

Although the diameter of this meteorite was only a quarter of the one on Earth, the shockwave from its fall was not something that ordinary creatures could withstand.

Su Mo even suspected that all the nearby Quasi-Sages and below would be wiped out.

Perhaps the ostrich grand sage was lucky enough to escape the net and occupy this unique treasure land. He even successfully proved his Dao and became a quasi-sage.

Just as he was sighing, a group of armored demon soldiers holding spears suddenly came over on giant crocodiles.

The leader was a black snake demon general with a hexagonal head that had transformed into a human. He wore a helmet that flickered with precious light on his head. His treasured armor was majestic and of extremely high quality, and his strength had also reached the peak of grade 7.

Looking at Su Mo’s group, the Demon General Black Snake’s vertical pupils flashed with vigilance as he asked in a deep voice,”

“I am the demon general of the Seven Sand Island of the Falling Star Lake, Kuitian. I am in charge of patrolling this lake region. May I ask why everyone has come?”

Su Mo replied neither obsequiously nor arrogantly,”

“I’m the Netherworld Cavern’s young master, Xing Wen. I’ve been invited by Special Envoy Xiong Sui to join your faction.”

“Since that’s the case, do you have a token?”

Su Mo immediately took out a golden token and handed it over.

Demon General Kui Tian received it with both hands. He seemed to have activated some sort of secret technique, and the surface of the golden token immediately began to glow with purple light.

Seeing this purple light, Kui Tian’s expression immediately eased. The other demon soldiers around him were no longer as vigilant as before and also became friendly.

Kui Tian handed the golden token back to him. An ugly smile appeared on his black-scaled face as he replied in a hoarse voice,

“I’m sorry, it’s my duty to investigate. I hope this Young Cave Master can forgive me.”

“Patrol Hunter Kuitian, you must be joking. In the future, we will all be colleagues. I hope that you can take care of us.”

As he spoke, Su Mo walked up and secretly stuffed a high-grade magic item into his hands.

Kui Tian could not help but be slightly surprised when he noticed the quality of the high-grade magic item. The smile on his face immediately became even more enthusiastic.

The two of them chatted for a while and soon became familiar with each other. They even began to call each other brothers.

As he boarded the two giant crocodiles and followed Kui Tian and the others to the island in the middle of the lake.

Su Mo looked at the Diremonsters that were rushing to the various islands and asked curiously,”

“Brother Kuitian, may I ask if those great demons are like us? Are they small factions that have just joined your side?”

“That’s hard to say.”

Kui Tian smiled and pointed out,

“I’m sure Brother Xingwen knows that apart from sending envoys to various places to gather the scattered small factions, the most important thing is to prepare for the upcoming Sage Ceremony.

Apart from small factions like yours that have pledged allegiance to us, most of the people who have come to our Falling Star Lake are the followers and subordinates of other Quasi-Sages.

There were a few of them, and there were even a few hundred of them.

Moreover, these people were especially difficult to deal with. They came from quasi-sage level forces and were often arrogant. In addition, some forces had a lot of hatred between them, so they often caused some trouble.

Don’t look at how our brothers in the United States of America are patrolling the island. They look majestic, but in fact, apart from patrolling the lakeshore and checking on outsiders, they are mostly there to mediate conflicts and prevent them from erupting into conflicts and fighting on the island.”

When Su Mo heard this, his eyes flashed and he asked,”

“Since all the attendants are here, the Ceremony of the Sages should be held soon, right?”

“It won’t be that fast.”

Kui Tian shook his head.

“Many Quasi-Sages are cultivating in seclusion in various places. Even if they receive the news, they might not rush over immediately.

Moreover, some Quasi-Sages were exploring some secret realms. Even if they rushed over, it would take some time.

For this reason, His Majesty specifically set the time to be two months. Oh, now it looks like it’s a month later.

It was to give the Quasi-Sages from all over the place enough buffer time so that they could rush over as soon as possible and gather as much as possible.

The members of the Quasi-Sage forces that you can see now are mostly the vanguard troops that the Quasi-Sages sent out in advance to show that they will participate in this grand event. At the same time, they also let these subordinates make arrangements here in advance and even inquire about information.”

At this point, Kui Tian leaned over and whispered,

” In my opinion, the real purpose of those forces is to gather information. On one hand, they want to know the strength level of the other forces. On the other hand, they also want to find out the specific location and relevant information of the small forces. Then, they secretly send people to rope them in. I believe that Brother Starstreak has seen many special envoys sent by the Quasi-Sages during this period of time. This is the result of their intelligence gathering.

At this time of great change, all the quasi-sage forces were trying their best to expand. Even if they didn’t agree to the establishment of an alliance on the surface, this didn’t stop them from secretly recruiting people. Those who could reach the quasi-sage level were not fools.”

Su Mo slowly nodded and felt more at ease.

Since there was still a month, it was enough time for him to arrange some things.

Hopefully, there won’t be any problems with the execution of Yanshan’s orders.

Just as he was thinking, the three-headed crocodile had already brought everyone to a small island that looked like jade.

He could see many great demons coming and going on the island. Moreover, those great demons were dressed differently and were all very strong. They obviously belonged to different small factions.

Kui Tian smiled and reminded,

“New forces like you who have just joined us usually have to come to Jade Island to register first. Then, you will receive the corresponding token from there and arrange for you to stay temporarily on the nearby Rockfall Island, Bright Dawn Island, and other islands. When His Majesty is free in a few days, he will summon you and arrange for your subsequent duties.”

Seeing Kui Tian’s right hand, Su Mo reached out and shook it, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

When he stepped onto Jade Island, which was covered in green sand, and saw Kui Tian leave with the Monster Soldiers and the Three-Headed Alligator, Su Mo opened his right hand. In his hand was a thumb-sized white jade slip, which contained Kui Tian’s message:

“Go to Room D of Emerald Jade Island and find Steward Liu. Tell him that it was my idea and ask him to arrange for you to go to the small building in the middle of the lake on Bright Dawn Island. That is the place with the densest origin energy among all the guest islands, and also the place where you can be summoned by His Majesty the fastest.”

Su Mo looked at this message and could not help but smile.

A high-grade magic item was really worth it!
