The Dragon Lizard Canyon is located 500 kilometers southwest of the Shuowang Empire. It is composed of a giant trench that is approximately 3,000 meters wide and 780 miles long.
Countless high-level Warcraft creatures inhabit the canyon, making it a highly dangerous zone in the Divinity and Demon's Continent. Therefore, unless one possesses great strength, they dare not easily step into the Dragon Lizard Canyon.
Rumors have it that seven members of the Dragon clan's royal family perished here. Their bodies were devoured by the Dragon Lizard population, causing them to evolve into Dragon Lizards.
Therefore, this unnamed canyon is known as the Dragon Lizard Canyon.
At the deepest part of the Dragon Lizard Canyon, there is an open area that serves as the holy land for the Dragon Lizards. Only the Dragon Lizard race is allowed to set foot on this sacred land, while all other creatures are forbidden from entering even half a step.
The vampire's detection device detected strong fluctuations of magic power in the Dragon Lizard Canyon. This intense magic power continuously emanated from there.
"It's a secret realm! And it's a huge secret realm!" exclaimed Captain Leck, the vampire.
"In about fifteen days, this large secret realm is going to open," another vampire soldier said.
"In that case, we must quickly return to the Shuowang Empire and report this. This secret realm will undoubtedly greatly enhance our vampire nation's power," Leck stated.
"We should retreat as soon as possible to avoid any Warcraft entering and causing chaos," urged Leck's comrade.
Leck launched a magic signal flare into the sky and then signaled for the detection team to gather and return to the Shuowang Empire.
Shortly after the detection team left, a man with black skin and dressed in a magnificent robe arrived at the Dragon Lizard Canyon.
A sphere of magic in his hand emitted a faint blue light, which became brighter as he delved further into the canyon.
"The Divinity and Demon's Continent is indeed a good place. This secret realm must contain many rare treasures. If we can take these things, the power of our brothers and sisters will undoubtedly greatly increase. At that time, the Night Demon can confront the Martial Angel and step out of the shadows," the black mage said with a cold, low voice. His lips curved into a sinister smile as he lightly tapped his toe and swiftly rushed towards the deepest part of the Dragon Lizard Canyon.
The black mage arrived at the Dragon Lizard Holy Land, where he saw seven dragon skulls hanging high in the air, with an altar beneath them and various Warcraft corpses placed as offerings.
A twitch formed at the corner of the black mage's mouth as he thought to himself, "These Dragon Lizards actually believe in this superstition. Quite interesting. It's no wonder it's a dangerous zone in the Divinity and Demon's Continent; these Warcraft creatures are intelligent."
Closing his eyes, the black mage used a crystal ball to estimate how many days were left until this secret realm revealed itself.
After a moment, the crystal ball displayed the number fifteen in black. Upon receiving the answer, he returned to the White Stork Empire.
In the distance, the elven team saw a man in a magnificent robe flying through the air.
"This human is very dangerous," said the elven team leader, Airet, solemnly.
"Captain, I feel like that person is not human. He is flying towards the human's White Stork Empire, which has already been occupied by the Ruined Land Alliance army. He must be a high-ranking officer of the alliance," one of the elven team members said.
"Do not discuss this, we should return to the Silent Valley Forest and report this matter to Her Majesty, which is related to whether our Elven race can rise." Eridus said seriously, raising his right hand and ordering everyone to return immediately.
Exploration teams from various countries on the Divinity and Demon's Continent have come to the Dragon Lizard Gorge for exploration, and they all know that a secret realm will appear in the Dragon Lizard Gorge.
Since the Ruined Land Alliance Army came to the Divinity and Demon's Continent through the Interdimensional Gate, the Orc Empire has always been closed off and does not communicate with the outside world. Now, a secret realm is about to appear, and they have also sent a team to explore, it seems that they want to seize this secret realm in the Dragon Lizard Gorge.
...
"Lanzu, do you think Iri likes to eat snacks?" Lilia looked at the various snacks and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Well..." Lanzu paused and then said, "I don't think so. Iri is now the Empress of the Shuowang Empire. She probably wouldn't eat snacks or anything like that. Besides, there are pastry chefs in the palace who can make them."
"That's right!" Lilia suddenly realized, "Lanzu, what do you think Iri wants?"
"Well... I'm not sure about that," Lanzu shrugged and said, "Actually, I think Iris doesn't need anything. She's the Empress, she can get anything she wants. How about buying a peace sachet for Iris?"
"A peace sachet takes up little space, it can be hung in the room or carried around, isn't that great?"
"Hmm, good idea." Lilia's eyes lit up, "Take me to buy a peace sachet and then hang it in Iri's room, to keep her safe for the rest of her life."
So, Lanzu took Lilia to buy a peace sachet and then returned to the palace.
With Lanzu's help, Lilia sneaked into Iris's bedroom through the window.
She hung the peace sachet on the wall and tied it with a red string.
"Perfect!" Lilia clapped her hands, smiling as she looked at the peace sachet hanging on the wall, "This way, Iri can have a peaceful life forever."
After saying that, Lilia turned and left through the window.
"Sister, maybe you can try making the peace sachet yourself, it will be more meaningful." Lanzu suggested.
"But who in the palace knows how to make it? Do I have to go out and learn? And you're not comfortable with me leaving the palace, won't that be troublesome for you, Lanzu?" Lilia spoke up.
"Who says no one in the palace knows how to make it?" Lanzu smiled.
"Lanzu, do you know how to make it?" Lilia asked in surprise.
"Of course." Lanzu said confidently, "You taught me how to make this peace sachet."
Then she took out a faded peace sachet from her pocket and showed it to Lilia. It was clear that it was made a long time ago.
"This is the peace sachet you made for me, sister. At the time, you were the vampire Empress, and I was your loyal subject. You were in command, and I led the vampire soldiers into battle. You were worried about my safety, so you made this peace sachet for me." Lanzu explained softly.
"I can't remember..." Lilia struggled to recall the images in her mind.
"It's okay, there's no need to dwell on what you can't remember. Just focus on living each day peacefully and happily," Lanzu reassured her.
"Okay!" Lilia nodded, "When can you teach me?"
"We can start anytime."
With that said, Lanzu and Lilia began making protective sachets in their bedroom.
...
Blackfa's speed was extremely fast, coupled with spatial teleportation magic. In just three hours, he arrived at the imperial city of the White Stork Empire - Shazi.
Upon arriving at Shazi, numerous guards saluted Blackfa.
"Greetings, Lord Blackfa!"
"You may all step back!" Blackfa said in a calm tone.
"Yes!" The guards dispersed.
The streets of Shazi were filled with various human slave trades. The large square had been transformed into an arena, every corner filled with the scent of slaughter and death.
The audience seats in the arena were filled with Ruined Land warriors, who had come to watch the spectacle. Two humans were engaged in a brutal fight below, the surrounding Ruined Land warriors cheering excitedly.
"Hahaha! This is exhilarating!"
"Kill him!"
"..."
A well-built, muscular man forcefully pinned down another human and snapped his neck. He was a warrior of the White Stork Empire, killing a defenseless civilian in order to survive.
The audience became more excited, raising their fists and cheering wildly.
"Hahaha, that was satisfying!"
"Congratulations to our number seventeen gladiator for his three consecutive victories! He will be rewarded with a feast of fish, meat, eggs, and milk." A soldier from the witch tribe cheered, raising the hand of the conquered human.
A rough and bold voice sounded as a tall, dark-skinned man stood on the stage, coldly overlooking the slaves below. "Let the next gladiatorial battle commence!"
Soon, another round of gladiators entered the stage, and the duel began.
...
Blackfa arrived at another entertainment venue, which was even bloodier and more brutal than the dueling arena. The rewards for the victors, or rather, survivors, were generous, while the losers faced only death.
A total of sixty humans entered the alternate dimension created by Blackfa, which was an island. As time passed, poisonous mist would spread from the outskirts of the island towards the center, until only one survivor remained.
The alternate dimension was filled with countless surveillance devices, showing magical projections of the events unfolding before the Ruined Land warriors.
In this alternate dimension, humans were allowed to do whatever it took to survive, without any limitations on their abilities.
This place brought out the darkest aspects of human nature, where there were no moral boundaries.
Betrayal, ambush, scheming, drugging, cursing, assassination, sowing discord - even acts too depraved to mention.
Blackfa was not only a mage but also a scholar, studying the essence of human nature and searching for good and evil within it.
When faced with danger, these humans would instinctively abandon their teammates and strive to survive alone, or they might selflessly sacrifice themselves for others.
Therefore, the worst aspects of human nature were magnified a thousandfold, with no shame or morality, only the measure of self-interest.
Blackfa established a unique rule in the alternate dimension: any human who could sacrifice themselves for others would be automatically teleported to a prison cell, which would be seen as death in the eyes of the humans in the alternate dimension.
The Black Law will go to the prison to discuss humanity with these humans and give them the respect they deserve, eventually arranging them in a retirement home-like place.
They will be able to watch matches in the alternate space and arena and occasionally discuss humanity, while providing them with necessary living supplies.
The prerequisite is that these people must follow the Order, and those who dare to escape will be executed on the spot.
The Black Law is quite obsessed with studying human nature. In multiple experiments, he believes that the essence of human nature is greed.
In order to satisfy their strong desires, they will not hesitate to abandon their companions. They can abandon even some former friends without any mercy as long as there is a little benefit to gain.
Human beings are like this, and so are the people of the Ruined Land. Otherwise, they would not have come to the Divinity and Demon's Continent through the Door of Interaction.
The Black Law arrived at the conference room, where Blood Howl and Faceless were already waiting.
"Black Law, why did you only come now?" greeted Blood Howl.
"Engaging in some philosophical research," Black Law replied and then sat down at the table.
"It's those boring things again," Blood Howl sneered. "How did it go this time? Did you gain anything?"
"Mmm," Black Law replied curtly, then said seriously, "There's a secret realm opening in the Divinity and Demon's Continent. The energy fluctuations are very intense. It will open in fifteen days, and the location is the Dragon Lizard Canyon."
"Lucky us, we've only been in the Divinity and Demon's Continent for less than a year and already encountered such a secret realm," Faceless said excitedly, then frowned, "But none of us have entered the Divinity and Demon's Continent's secret realm before. We don't know if there's any danger inside."
"It doesn't matter, I will take action," Blood Howl perked up as soon as fighting was mentioned, cracking his knuckles.
"Just capture a few human warriors for questioning. There's nothing to be afraid of," Black Law played with the crystal ball in his hand.
"The Night Demon is like she has autism now, she won't leave her room no matter what," Faceless sighed.
"Just tell the Night Demon that the secret realm is going to open, and it will contain treasures that can enhance her strength and help her defeat the Martial Angel," Black Law calmly said, "After hearing this news, the Night Demon will naturally come out. She wants to defeat the Martial Angel more than anyone."
"What if she doesn't?" Blood Howl blurted out.
"If she doesn't, then she doesn't. She can continue to be withdrawn," Black Law heartlessly uttered these words.
Faceless and Blood Howl rolled their eyes. It seemed like you were teasing the Night Demon.
"I'm going to rest first. You guys can inform the Night Demon about this matter," Black Law calmly stood up and left.
