Chapter 305 - Next Steps

Compared to the equipment that other mortal factions had in their arsenal. They were armed far better thanks to scraps from the Empire. Still, even worthless armors and weapons of the Imperial Army that were created as a practice by young blacksmiths were of far superior quality compared to the mortal factions under the rule of the gods.

And thanks to Hela's training, they were approaching the standard of the Elite Legion, though not on the level of the Armies of the Imperialis Militarum; they were slowly nearing that level.

"Also, we have gotten information about Apple of Wisdom is about to ripe in the Feisuo Plane."

Stated Hela as I sharpened immediately.

Among the countless planes, there were only several Wisdom Apple Trees. The wisdom apple tree took 10,000 years to sprout, 10,000 years to blossom, and 10,000 years to bear fruit. Each time, it would only bore 1 wisdom apple. Most of the known Wisdom Apple Trees were located either under the protection of extremely frightening individuals or in dangerous locations where almost no one dared to enter.

No matter how much of a waste they used to be, anyone who ate a wisdom apple would possess frightening intelligence and become a super-freak cultivation genius. By then, any knowledge could be easily comprehended at a glance.

Practically each Warlock Emperor and Arcane Lord ate one of those, and many other powerhouses that were called unparalleled across the entire Astral Boundary ate Wisdom Apple. It would be a great boon for me if I ate, as it would greatly enhance my comprehensive abilities, which were even now monstrous.

"And we also have a piece of second important news. Last week I captured some God of Feisuo, he was weak, but he had important information. Apparently, there is an inheritance site of some powerful Warlock at the 9th Layer of the Underground World of the Feisuo Plane. It is said to be the dwelling of a terrible existence of the Cangzhi Plane, an existence more terrible than Gods and Fiends."

By logic, if such existence is more powerful than gods, then it should be above Mighty Stage Gods, which would be equivalent to the Warlock Monarch. This site should be more minimal than that of the Warlock Monarch, but that is not possible, as Feisuo Plane has even Supreme Gods, meaning they would have long ago breached this site.

So only possibility would leave; it was the legacy of the Warlock Emperor. Only then would this inheritance site remain unbreached.

Each Warlock Emperor attempted to conquer the Feisuo Plane, only for them to control only some parts of the world until they were slowly pushed out. Though this was a rarity, as Central Star Region was enormous, and Warlocks rarely made wide-scaled conquest in other Star Regions.

Though during the time of Time Emperor, the first Warlock Emperor, there was an enormous wide-scale campaign against the Divine Star Region in collaboration with Arcane Lord of Mysteries. Together, their armies conquered countless planes in the Divine Star Region until several Myriad God Emperors pushed them out after taking over one of the Grade 1 Planes and killing its Myriad God Emperor.

Even though they were pushed out of the Divine Star Region, they obtained an astronomical amount of wealth and precious resources.

There were a few inheritance sites of the Warlock Emperors outside of the Canghzi Plane as a whole, and even there, the majority of them were located in the Core World of the Canghzi Plane, outside of my reach unless I was so powerful I could force my way in.

So in a certain sense, this was a priceless opportunity to obtain such an inheritance for me. Inheritances of powerhouses such as Warlock Emperors are priceless and would be greatly useful even for me.

Even though Warlock Methods were mainly useless for Devils, there existed exemptions. There was a high possibility that Devils could practice methods or some that could be easily adjusted by us to be suitable for our use.

"We will depart immediately for the Dark Forest. The Apple of Wisdom still has time until it ripens; in the meantime, I want to take a look at the Dark Forest and the possible inheritance site of the Warlock Emperor."

I said as everyone nodded in agreement.

The Dark Forest lay at the deepest part of the 9th floor of the Feisuo Plane's underground world, and it was perpetually covered by a black fog. Under the effect of the black fog, even races with the innate ability of night vision would have their line of sight reduced to 10 meters. Moreover, the black fog had a restraining effect on spells.

Additionally, there were countless terrifying demonic plants inside the Dark Forest. Powerhouses under the God Level / Ultimate-Class were basically sure to be killed there. And even for gods, it was a hazardous area.

"Fia and I will open a portal to the Baator to bring in some of our forces into the Feisuo Planes. We have established our foothold; now we can bring in agents of the Department of Information and Executioners from the Execution Temple to infiltrate factions and gather information for us."

I said.

"When will the invasion commence?"

Asked Hela with anticipation.

"The first step is almost done; we have gathered enough information about their gods and their exact strength; now the only thing which remains is to capture a suitable god and obtain crucial information about Supreme Gods and the secret why this plane has never fully fallen to the Warlock invasions. Then we can start phase 2 and create war in the mortal world."

I noted as everyone nodded that our plan was soon coming to fruition.
