The war concluded, and the God-Devouring clan received recognition from the will of the Kyushu world, migrating from the northern part of Manzhou to the former location of the Ancient God tribe.
Simultaneously, countless beings in the Kyushu world learned of the God-Devouring clan's contributions. A wave of complex emotions washed over them, especially the inhabitants of Manzhou.
From time immemorial, they had viewed the God-Devouring clan as outsiders, demons, relentlessly pursuing and hunting them.
Yet, at the most critical juncture, it was the God-Devouring clan who had saved them.
In that moment, tribes that had previously hunted the God-Devouring clan sent emissaries to the God-Devouring tribe to confess their sins and seek forgiveness.
The God-Devouring clan thus became a unique tribe on the land of Manzhou. Although they lacked the deep foundations of the Ancient God tribe, their current standing in Manzhou was no less than that of the Ancient God tribe.
The Kyushu world, having devoured the corpses of three Void Beasts, entered a period of massive expansion. Energy erupted wildly, and the world's space continuously spread.
The Kyushu world had doubled in size.
Correspondingly, all beings in the Kyushu world entered a frenzy of cultivation. The recent crisis posed by Venerable Shi E had instilled a sense of urgency in everyone.
Kyushu was too weak. To survive in the vast void universe, they had to become stronger.
During this time, Li Xiaotian and several other Invincibles thoroughly scoured the Kyushu world.
All the contingency plans left behind by the Ancient God Realm within the Kyushu world were cleared.
They had not expected to find anything significant, but to their surprise, they unearthed three dormant Invincibles from the God Realm.
One was found deep within the island of Atlantis, another beneath the Vatican City, and the third in the frozen lands of the northernmost reaches of Kyushu.
These three were all sealed by Yuan and others in the past and had not yet perished.
Now, Li Xiaotian had devoured them one by one.
Li Xiaotian's cultivation realm, having completely balanced itself by borrowing world power in the previous instance, had now advanced to the second stage of Invincible. He became the strongest individual in the Kyushu world, and the only one at the second stage.
"Boom! Boom!"
On this day, two powerful auras erupted in the heavens and earth, and two majestic figures cast their shadows across the entire world.
"Celebrate the Invincibles!"
Resounding cheers echoed throughout Kyushu.
Indeed, two more powerhouses in Kyushu had broken through to become Invincibles.
One was Venerable Yue from Ancient Village, and the other surprised everyone.
It was a demonic beast, a three-headed Flood Dragon from the depths of the South Sea, named Chi Long.
Above the South Sea, Chi Long gazed at the human Invincibles beside it. The joy of its recent breakthrough to Invincible instantly vanished.
At this moment, it was filled with anxiety and profound regret.
"Chi Long pays respects to all your excellencies."
Chi Long spoke to Li Xiaotian and the others, feeling an intense unease.
It knew that while Li Xiaotian and the others had broken the curse on the demon race, it was because they considered the demon race non-threatening.
But things were different now. It had become an Invincible, and the human race might change its attitude towards the demon race because of this.
At this moment, Chi Long was filled with regret. If it had known, it would not have broken through. But there was nothing it could do. It had lived for a very long time, and its talent was exceptional.
After the ancient human Invincibles broke the curse on the demon race, its cultivation realm became uncontrollable. In just half a year, it had advanced from the mid-stage of the Heaven realm to Invincible.
It could be said to be the foremost demon in history.
"Congratulations. I hope we can fight side-by-side in the future," Li Xiaotian said, then vanished from his spot in an instant.
He had come merely to satisfy his curiosity, with no other intentions.
"Certainly, I will surely protect Kyushu with my life and fight alongside Lord Li." Chi Long quickly replied, bowing and scraping, even though Li Xiaotian had already departed.
"Heh, good. I always thought you old fellow would surely become an Invincible."
Sword Master Tongtian chuckled, his emotions unreadable. He clearly recognized Chi Long, who had lived even longer than him.
Sword Master Tongtian gave Chi Long a deep look, then continued speaking.
"The past grievances between the demon race and the human race have long since been settled. From now on, the human and demon races of Kyushu are one. I hope you cherish this."
"Yes, sir." Chi Long quickly responded.
The human Invincibles present departed one after another. After everyone had left, Chi Long let out a sigh of relief.
It had nearly been scared to death. It had thought Li Xiaotian and the others had come to exterminate it, but it turned out to be just an unfounded scare.
"From now on, the demon race of the South Sea shall not attack the human race without cause. Those who violate this will be killed without mercy!" Chi Long decreed to the demon race of the South Sea, feeling immensely excited.
It had become an Invincible, the sole demon Invincible in the Kyushu world.
This was pressure, but also a form of honor.
Once the Kyushu world resolved its enemies, it would be the Emperor of the Demon Race!
By now, Kyushu had six Invincibles: five humans and one demon, strengthening their confidence in self-preservation.
In the Dragon King Hall of the War Zone, the massive body of Venerable Shi E was refined by Li Xiaotian and lay sprawled on the ground.
Even so, its body was impossibly large; its immense form could be seen even from outside the War Zone.
Li Xiaotian sat cross-legged on Venerable Shi E's head, his brow furrowed.
From Venerable Shi E's memories, he had learned many survival rules of the void universe.
Besides information about the God Realm, there was something else of great importance to Kyushu at the moment.
It was the matter of hidden worlds, of evading unknown crises in the void universe.
The easiest way to achieve this currently was to capture a Void Beast and swallow the entire Kyushu world into its belly, then traverse the void with Kyushu.
This way, Kyushu world would not only be hidden but could also escape when danger arose.
But where could it find a Void Beast?
Given the current state of the Kyushu world, at least a third-order Void Beast would be needed to swallow it.
And a third-order Void Beast still posed a certain threat to Kyushu at the moment.
After all, Li Xiaotian could not borrow world power every time danger struck.
