Shadow Hack
chapter-436

After making a comparison of the planes, Li Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief.

His homeland wasn't too inferior. Among the sixty-six planes, its comprehensive strength and vitality belonged to the upper layer. Only the black mist which would never disappear on its own became a thorn in his heart which he couldn't remove.

"System, that black mist breeding on our Earth, what exactly is it?"

Li Yunmu's mind was in chaos. He couldn't understand what was the origin of the black mist.

[Insufficient information.]

The system's reply disappointed Li Yunmu. However, he had also somewhat expected it; after all, the system's database didn't have all the information in the world. It could only helplessly watch the objects and events which weren't recorded in its database.

"Seems like we can only investigate it slowly after returning to the Earth."

Li Yunmu paused for a moment, then his focus turned to the exciting aspect of the situation. The descenders from Zheng Quan's twenty-fifth plane had been much faster in gathering the information about the cave, compared to Earth's descenders, but Li Yunmu was actually the one who harvested the fruits from the sacrifices of their countless people.

Given the vastness of the Origin World, its countless deities, and innumerable dimensional spaces in its history, it was obvious that it wasn't only one Heavenly Earth for each plane.

Although Li Yunmu guessed that he had reached his current position far faster compared to what could have been expected, he wanted to confirm the fact, and it would be enough for him.

After that, he didn't continue looking at the numerous spherical objects, but quickly walked toward the center of the sacrificial altar. There, as Li Yunmu had expected, there were altogether seven sacrificial portals.

They led to second plane, twenty-fifth plane, fifty-third plane, fifty-fifth plane as well as another three worlds from the sixty-six planes.

Once Li Yunmu saw it, he balled his fists; he had won the gamble! No wonder then that Zheng Quan and him had both chosen to join Blue Moon Island. It seemed that Heavenly Path had already been opened underneath the cave which connected to both the twenty-fifth plane and fifty-fifth plane.

In other words, the master of the underground cave had not only explored his homeland, but also went to Zheng Quan's plane and even the second as well as fifty-third plane.

It had to be said that the master of the underground cave had truly possessed marvelous abilities.

But once Li Yunmu thought about it, he found it quite normal. Clearly, the master of the cave had been an extremely formidable ancient god who far surpassed the other ancient god; otherwise, how would he have been able to ignore the rules of the cave and bury the vantage point of the Heavenly Path there.

Without any hesitation, Li Yunmu walked to the fifty-fifth plane's sacrificial portal. Since it had already been opened, he didn't need to prepare a large offering to establish a portal. In other words, as long as he could get enough energy, he could return to Earth.

The most crucial moment had arrived, and Li Yunmu couldn't control himself from excitement.

It had been three years since he had descended, so god only knew what was the situation on Earth.

He took out dimensional stones and began to place them in the positions to open the sacrificial portal to the fifty-fifth plane.

One stone, two stones, ten stones, twenty stones, thirty stones, forty stones, fifty stones, fifty-five stones… When Li Yunmu offered the fifty-five high quality dimensional stones, the fifty-fifth spherical point, far to the edge of the void, began to glow brightly. It then began to grow larger and started coming closer.

At that moment, Li Yunmu witnessed the most mystical scene of his life. A spatial bridge stretched out from the fifty-fifth plane portal to the sacrificial altar, connecting the fifty-fifth plane and the Origin World.

"Success!"

Li Yunmu hadn't expected that everything would proceed so smoothly. After making the offering, he also understood why his homeland was given the number fifty-five.

The reason behind it was that he needed to use that many high level dimensional stones to open a spatial bridge toward it.

What terrifying amount of energy it was?

An ordinary dimensional stone could be used eight or ten times for teleportation. A mid grade dimensional stone could be used over a hundred times. And a high grade dimensional stone? It could be used a thousand times.

And he had to use fifty-five such high grade dimensional stones to open the spatial bridge to Earth. Even if Battle Sage Vega was extremely rich and had prepared many resources for him, she had been able to give him only a hundred high grade dimensional stones. Li Yunmu had already used one of them for teleporting, after he had just arrived in the Origin World. But even then, that dimensional stone would still last him for a long time.

Yet at that moment he had used fifty-five dimensional stones in one breath to connect the altar with the fifty-fifth plane.

Although Li Yunmu's heart ached greatly, his main aim for descending had finally been achieved. He thought for a while, but then couldn't resist stepping on the spatial bridge.

The moment his right foot landed and he was about to return to Earth, an anxious voice suddenly reached his ears, causing him to stop.

"Wait, wait… you cannot return now."

When Li Yunmu heard those words, he felt a chill all over his body. Instantly, he became armed to the teeth. The three pieces of Azure Dragon Deity Suit which he hadn't used in a long time appeared once more, because he already knew who was the owner of that voice.

It was none other than the remnant will which he had captured with the Void Disk and placed in his heavenly world.

"Relax, if had the power to escape from your two restrictions, I would've done so long ago. All I want to say is that you definitely cannot return to Earth now."

The voice spoke again, but this time, it was extremely feeble. If not for Li Yunmu focusing his whole attention on listening to it, he would have probably not even heard it.

"Why shouldn't I return to my homeland? Why should I believe you?" Li Yunmu asked with a cold smile, not relaxing his guard in the least.

"Because if you return now, you will cause a disaster. You could bring a catastrophe to your world… I've exhausted my strength, so if you want to know why, then come in."

The remnant will used up all of its strength and its voice disappeared.
