Winterless Castle, conference hall.

The faces of the representatives were not very pleasant, especially Agatha and Phyllis—the news they received from the high-level devils undoubtedly overturned their previous understanding.

From the Border Town step by step to the edge of the continent, nearly a thousand years of struggle and resistance, countless people buried in blood and fire, only to find that the enemy had not yet exerted their full strength. At the other end of the vast land, there is also a place called Tianhai Realm, where the monsters are no weaker than devils. The reason why humans have not been extinct is because they have held back the devils.

For the beliefs of the witches of Taquila, this is definitely another heavy blow.

The heavy atmosphere even infected the Witch Union and Sleeping Spell.

This proactive attack on the outposts, seemingly extremely brilliant in its results, with battle damage that could be described as the best record in four hundred years, was achieved when the devils had absolutely no understanding of their opponents and, by chance, followed the First Army's most ideal battle rhythm. Whether they can achieve the same great victory next time is still unknown. As long as the casualties increase by a few percent, the humans who have lost large tracts of land and population will have little hope of completely eliminating the devils.

"Maybe these are all fabricated by the other side," Wendy couldn't help but stand up and cheer, "After all, no one has ever set foot on the end of the continent, who knows if it's true or false? Before it's confirmed, I don't think there's any need to take it to heart, what do you all say?"

However, there were few respondents.

Agatha gave her a grateful look, "Although Cabrada's words have exaggerations, but honestly, I don't think he's lying entirely, especially the parts revealed during the early stages of soul transfer—at that time, his control over his body was almost zero, and what he said was basically what he was thinking, Zoe should be able to feel that too. Even the nearly delirious words can be mutually confirmed with the subsequent content, unless he had been brewing this lie for several years and trained himself for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to do this."

"You mean the Legacy Fragment?" Scroll said thoughtfully.

"Yes. If I understand correctly, the Legacy Fragment of any race—also a relic of the gods, can allow their own race to be upgraded." Agatha said slowly, "If the devils had the ability to defeat us, seize the relic, why would they let go of this opportunity? Therefore, there is only one explanation, they really can't spare the time."

This inference was obviously thought of by more than one person—according to the timeline, the devils were no different from uncivilized barbarians in the early days of the First Battle of Divine Will. Facing the scattered human kingdoms, they fought for hundreds of years. The Underground Palace also sought out humans at that time. By the time the Second Blood Moon descended, the enemy had suddenly become much more terrifying, and the Association was defeated out of Fertile Plains in thirty years.

If upgrading can gain such a great advantage, the devils should eliminate humans as soon as possible.

"We really underestimated the strength of the devils," Phyllis said with self-reproach, "Now that I think about it, for four hundred years, the Association has never looked beyond Border Town. What we have been staring at is always the familiar land under our feet, and we know nothing about the world outside the continent. Not to mention the Tianhai Realm at the end of the land, we don't even know much about the other end of Border Town."

"Oh? What is the other end of this continent like?" Roland asked curiously.

"I've only seen it in ancient books. It is said to be an extremely barren land, full of high mountains and cliffs, with an average height far above Border Town." Phyllis recalled, "The two are separated by hundreds of miles, connected by a continuously rising mountain range, and the surrounding area is the sea that rises and falls from time to time. Usually, half of the mountain range is submerged in the sea, and the whole picture will only be revealed at low tide. It is said that the devils invaded Border Town through it."

Wait, why does this description sound so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before... He touched his chin, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind!

The towering continental shelf, the boundless cliffs, and the huge stone gate embedded in the cliff walls—although there is no last item, the previous description is strikingly similar to what Thunder saw in the Shadow Sea. Could it be that what the expedition saw at that time was the continent opposite Border Town?

This is interesting, Roland thought, if Winterless City is used as the origin, most of the Border Town is in the northwest direction, and the Shadow Sea is far to the east of the sea, how can one see the strange continent opposite Border Town from there? As long as the world is round, even the most finely crafted telescope will be affected by the curvature of the planet. Looking at the sky is fine, but being able to directly observe such a distant continent, there must be something tricky about it.

He noticed that Tilly also cast her gaze over—obviously, as a member of the expedition at that time, she also associated it with the scenery seen in the underwater stone tower ruins.

Not built by the Association, but monitoring the continent where the legendary devils live, who would be the owner of the ruins?

It seems that when Thunder goes to sea this time, he may have to entrust him to thoroughly investigate this ruin—not an explorer-style casual look, but led by the will of the country, turning every corner of the ruin upside down until it is completely clear.

"Your Majesty?"

Perhaps he had been distracted for a while, when Roland broke his thoughts, he found that Agatha was looking at him, her eyes full of understanding and comfort, "Are you alright?"

"Ah... just thinking about some things." He waved his hand.

"Please don't worry too much, I know this news is a great pressure for you, but humans are not completely without hope." The Ice Witch said softly in a low voice, "When I first woke up from the ice coffin, you said to me that mortals will surely defeat the devils... Now, I am deeply convinced of this—even if it takes generations of effort to achieve it."

"That's right," Phyllis also echoed, "We are only one step away from the Taquila ruins. After destroying it, the devils will lose the opportunity to build Obelisk. If they want to exterminate us, they will have to wait at least another four hundred years. Even if humans ultimately fail, it is not your fault. In this regard, you have already done better than the Three Chiefs."

Roland blinked slightly in surprise, and it took him a while to react—

Because he was frowning because he was thinking about the ruins, did they think that he was shocked by the momentum of the devils and fell into confusion and frustration?

So they tried to comfort themselves and wanted to cheer themselves up.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "That's just the worst option—continuing to shrink in the corner, leaving the devils to the people four hundred years later, is not in my plan. After all... I may not be able to live until that time. Solving all the competitors and unraveling the mystery of Divine Will is naturally more interesting to do myself, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty..." Most of the witches present couldn't help but be stunned, only Anna raised the corners of her mouth.

"Since you remember what I said, mortals will surely defeat the devils," Roland looked at Phyllis, "Then do you remember the other thing I mentioned?"

"True power is not to make the world darker, but to bloom with light and heat, and light up the whole world—this is not what I said to deliberately tease that guy." He didn't wait for the other party to answer, and went straight down, "In the face of power shaped like the sun, everything will be reduced to dust, and the devils are no exception. And you will witness this scene with me."
