Upon receiving the order from the Insect King, the insect race immediately changed direction and quickly retreated backwards.

After all, bugs are bugs and can never change their nature." Grom stomped on the head of a bug, crushing it into powder, disdainfully sneering.

Galral stepped forward and patted Grom's shoulder. "Big brother, I suggest we rest here and not act rashly. After all, this is the secret realm and we have no idea how many bugs are inside. If we attack recklessly, the losses will be severe."

Grom nodded slightly at the words and shouted, "Spread the word, rest here and wait for instructions."

Galral commanded a few cat soldiers, "Go ahead and investigate, see if there are any bugs in other areas. If there are, report back to me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The few cat soldiers quickly ran forward.

...

"Bill, take a team to scout ahead, be careful." said Si Chudong.

"Yes!"

Bill immediately nodded and led a team forward, prepared to explore the area.

A group of ten people proceeded forward.

The same was true for the Lunar Empire, which sent a small team to investigate.

"Dugu, go and check the front, retreat immediately if there's any danger." ordered Lilia.

"Yes!"

Dugu nodded and disappeared in an instant.

As for the Sun and Moon Empire, only Iris, Qizhou, Shizhi, and Jilu were present. They knew that they were not only facing the insect race, but also other races. They came to see how strong the Wutu tribe was.

Liran Day looked at the bodies of the insect race on the ground, her eyebrows furrowed. She murmured to herself, "The creatures from the dream actually appeared in the corridor. What does that dream signify?"

She felt like she had been in this place many times, as if she had seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Did you find anything, Ran Zhou?" Looking at Liran Day's expression, Lilia asked curiously.

Liran Day nodded, "Sister, do you remember when I told you about human-sized bugs?"

"I remember, floating monsters, winged humans, and a larger creature than the beast race." Lilia suddenly realized something.

"You mean, the creatures you saw in your dream are likely to exist?" Lilia looked at Liran Day in astonishment.

"For now, it has confirmed one thing: human-sized bugs. If there are other creatures from the dream, we should retreat. We don't know the enemy's strength and shouldn't act recklessly." Liran Day said slowly.

Lilia pondered for a moment and nodded, "Well, let's follow your plan."

After a while, Dugu's figure reappeared before Lilia's eyes.

"Your Majesty, there are eight passages ahead. I've confirmed that there are no bugs and no signs of danger." Dugu whispered to Lilia.

"Let's move out." Lilia waved her hand and spread her blood wings, flying forward. The people behind her followed suit and flapped their wings.

Although the nations had just fought against the insect race together, they didn't share intelligence. After all, they were still competitors and didn't want other nations to gain an advantage.

...

Soon, Lilia and the others arrived at the eight passages. Looking at the paths ahead, Liran Day furrowed her brows and pondered. Suddenly, a familiar image appeared in her mind: countless magic resources and a stone tablet with unreadable words.

"Sister, let's go into the third passage. There are magic resources we haven't seen before." Liran Day spoke up suddenly.

Lilia was stunned and asked in confusion, "How do you know there are good things in the third passage?"

"I guessed."

Liran Day finished speaking and started walking into the passage.

Lilia hesitated for a moment, then followed her in.

...

Soon, the reconnaissance teams from other nations also returned one after another, reaching the same conclusion as the Blood tribe. There were eight passages ahead, and two of them did not have any ambushes by the insect race.

Although everyone had obtained the same results, they couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, but they didn't show it.

"Let's go back and train harder!" Galral looked back at the captain of the reconnaissance team and spoke with a deep voice.The vampire scout was the only one, and he was the last to go but the first to return.

Not only did the beast tribe have more people, but they also moved earlier. As a result, the vampire clan had already started entering the depths of the tunnel when the beast tribe scout had just returned. This made Galral unable to accept this and issued the order to intensify training.

Similarly, the White Stork Empire and the Azure Moon Empire were also the same. Although they couldn't compare to the vampire clan, they also strived to narrow the gap with the orcs.

"What do they mean? Why do they look dissatisfied?" Shizhi asked with some confusion.

"It's simple. The reconnaissance efficiency of the vampire clan is much higher than that of the beast tribe and humans. As leaders, of course, they would be displeased. After all, they have more people and went in first, but let the vampire clan explore the situation first. It's a matter of face, and they can't bear it." Iris explained.

Shizhi nodded.

Then the four of them slowly proceeded towards the depths of the tunnel.

...

In the third passage, Lilia, Liran Day, and others were cautiously shuttling through the tunnel, constantly searching for possible enemies.

Lilia noticed a stone tablet, stopped, and crouched down to observe it carefully.

Liran Day also stopped and carefully examined the stone tablet.

After studying it for a while, Lilia and Liran Day found that there seemed to be nothing unusual about the stone tablet, but they always felt a trace of sacred light emanating from it.

When Liran Day touched the stone tablet, a gentle force entered her body.

This power complemented the power that had appeared out of thin air earlier. A golden light appeared on the back of her hand, gradually shrinking and forming a small gun-shaped pattern.

Liran Day felt her power continuously increasing, but her expression remained calm.

On the other hand, Lilia was surprised. In just a few minutes, Liran Day's cultivation had far surpassed her own, which was incredible to Lilia.

Although Lilia didn't understand how Liran Day did it, she understood that it had something to do with the stone tablet in front of her.

Suddenly, a golden text appeared on the stone tablet. The text looked ancient and filled with the weight of history.

"What kind of text is this?" Lilia furrowed her brows and muttered softly.

Liran Day unexpectedly recited the words, "The Tomb of the Martial Archangel - Unrestrained, in the history of Gods and Demons."

Upon hearing Liran Day's words, Lilia widened her eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

"How did you understand this text, Ranzhou?" Lilia asked in astonishment.

Lilia was filled with shock.

You see, Lilia had read many books, but it was the first time she had seen this text.

"Because this is my former resting place." Liran Day said calmly.

Lilia was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Former resting place? Are you saying that you're an angel? Don't joke around, Ranzhou."

"Hehe..." Liran Day smiled, "Sister, I'm not kidding. I am an angel, an angel named Unrestrained, the third-ranked Martial Archangel."

After hearing this, Lilia took a long time to recover. She knew that Ranzhou wouldn't lie to her, because there was no need to, and she was not someone who liked to joke.

"How is that possible?"

Liran Day didn't explain much and directly revealed her angelic body. Six wings extended from her celestial form, each feather emitting a holy light, and strands of divine aura filled the air.

Within this aura was also a chilling sense of killing intent, giving people a shiver down their spines.

Lilia, Dugu, and the Shadow Guards were all shocked, unable to believe their eyes.

"So, this is an angel?" Lilia murmured to herself.

"Mhmm." Liran Day nodded.

"If the legend of demons and angels is true, the creatures with horns that Li Xi and Xue Youyue encountered should be demons. Daniella paid with her life to tell me that a demon claiming to be Shizhi saved Iris and called her your Majesty.

Nai Zhou publicly claimed that Iris was her sister and took various measures to protect her, even going to war with the vampire clan. I guess she should also be a demon."The other person didn't need to guess, it should be so, then Iris must be the Demon King, no wonder she dares to say such things as capturing me alive." Lilia said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing Lilia's words, Liran Day crossed her arms and said, "With me here, sister and the Crimson Empire will never be in trouble. Sister can rest assured."

Lilia smiled and didn't answer Liran Day's words, but changed the topic and said, "Should I call you Ziran Day or Siyi?"

Liran Day heard this and a slight smile curved at the corners of her mouth as she said, "Of course it's Ziran Day, even though I am a warrior angel, you will always be my sister."

"Ziran Day, you said this is your gravesite, how did you die before? Was it the work of the demons?" Lilia asked curiously.

Liran Day shook her head, "At that time, angels and demons fought together against the invasion of the wild land. The battle was extremely brutal, with angels being destroyed and demons losing more than half their forces. I and a demon named Suiliang Feng were seriously injured and withdrew to this place. In the end, I fell because of my severe injuries, but Suiliang Feng should have survived. This gravesite should have been erected by him for me."

"I see," Lilia nodded. She was still thinking about Iris.

No matter how much she thought about it, Lilia couldn't understand why Iris became the Demon King. It was really unbelievable.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have removed Iris's control mark, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
