My beautiful CEO wife

Feeling the surprise of the four, Old Elmer remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, he slowly said, "The Evil God slaughtered so many of our Ancient Clan, and right in front of me, he killed my only descendant! Naturally, I won’t let him get away!"

"Even if I can’t kill him myself, I must ensure his death!"

His words were mixed with anger, prompting the four to sigh inwardly.

Arthur then nodded and said, "If you really transported the Evil God to the Undying Clan’s territory, with the Undying King’s strength, there’s indeed a chance to kill the Evil God. But after all these years, does the Undying Clan still exist?"

"Since they’re called the Undying Clan, they must still be around in that world!" Old Elmer said, "Moreover, when the teleportation formation was activated, I sensed a very powerful aura in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining four felt much more at ease.

Because the Elf Clan wasn’t the only one with a deep hatred for Xiao Zheng; the other four major clans also harbored significant grudges against Xiao Zheng. If Xiao Zheng were truly dead, it would be great news for all of the Ancient Clan.

After slowly nodding, Arthur spoke, "Since Xiao Zheng is certain to die, we needn’t pay further attention to him. Elmer, how much time is left before the next weakening of the barrier?"

"Three months left," Old Elmer responded.

Upon hearing the timeframe, the other four couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

"Only three months left? Then, after three months, can we ensure that all five of us, and everyone else, can leave the Ancient World together?" Helic, the Giant Clan’s leader, couldn’t help but ask.

Old Elmer nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll all be able to leave the Ancient World in three months."

"Given that, we need to prepare in advance," Jiang Yi said, "But is the timeframe sufficient? Three months isn’t short, and we need ample time to gather all the Golden Bones."

"This process could take at least one to two months, and if things aren’t smooth, it might even take half a year. How much time does the Heart of the World have left?"

"I observed the cracking speed of the Heart of the World recently, and according to its current rate, it should completely collapse in about half a year," Old Elmer said solemnly.

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the other four became exceedingly grave.

If the Ancient World is likened to a person, then the Heart of the World, as its name implies, is the heart of the Ancient World. If something goes wrong with the Heart of the World, this alternate space dependent on Earth would vanish directly. All living beings inside would perish alongside it.

Since the Ancient Clan discovered the existence of the Heart of the World, the five major clans secretly united to protect its safety.

However, three years ago, someone unexpectedly discovered a crack in the Heart of the World.

Initially, not many paid attention to this, but as more cracks appeared on the Heart of the World, the shadow of death finally shrouded the entire Ancient World. Since then, the people of the Ancient Clan began searching for ways to repair the Heart of the World.

After countless experiments, the Ancient Clan finally discovered the Golden Bone.

The power of the Golden Bone can effectively maintain the operation of the Heart of the World. If all the Golden Bones are gathered, the damaged Heart of the World can be fully repaired.

This is why the people of the Ancient Clan are sparing no effort to collect the Golden Bone.

"If the Heart of the World can only last another six months, then time is running out for us," Arthur said, "Elmer, can you find a way to speed up the weakening of the barrier’s power?"

Among them, only Old Elmer was skilled in this area.

Since the Elf Clan has always enjoyed researching barriers and formations.

After nodding, Old Elmer spoke, "I’ll take care of this matter. Rest assured, in such crucial matters, I won’t hold back. After all, I don’t want to be buried with the Heart of the World in this alternate space."

"Then let’s settle it this way; everyone return for now and gather here again in seven days," Arthur said, then took flight.

The two teams the Ancient Clan sent earlier had both perished.

Even if they stayed here, it wouldn’t serve any purpose...

On the other side.

In the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, poison mists perpetually enclose the area, blocking out the sky.

The reason remains unknown, but everything around is eerily silent.

Suddenly, a ray of light streaked through.

When the light disappeared, a figure appeared abruptly—Xiao Zheng!

"What place is this?"

Xiao Zheng curiously surveyed his surroundings, feeling entirely unfamiliar.

The only certainty he had was that he was still on Earth.

However, after some observations, Xiao Zheng noticed an anomaly in the environment: "There actually exists something similar to a formation here, capable of isolating soul power from probing."

"When did such a strange place appear on Earth?"

Xiao Zheng then searched the vicinity but found nothing.

"Forget it, I should return to find Hades and the others."

"I’ve suddenly vanished and arrived here; they must be very worried now."

With a shake of his head and a smile, Xiao Zheng’s body swiftly levitated into the sky.

However, upon ascending into the clouds, he was startled by the scene before him.

This was something Xiao Zheng had never seen before. Besides the forest beneath him, a kilometer further were pitch-black mountain peaks and scorched, barren land.

These scorched lands appeared as though they had experienced the baptism of warfare, filled with the aura of death, as if he had arrived in Hell!

"Where on Earth have I been teleported? What is this place?"

Xiao Zheng looked around in shock.

Although he could sense that he was still on Earth, the unfamiliar environment filled him with curiosity and doubt.

Is it possible that, like the Polar Icefield, this is another untouched forbidden land on Earth?

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but glance back, and one glance filled him with astonishment.

Unknown when it started, thick fog enveloped the area!

Xiao Zheng was lost in the mist, devoid of direction!
