Marta and Larkin both seemed able to navigate the endless dark territory as they walked ahead steadily.

“Marta, does the Vestigial Tribe know the secret of the dark territory?” Merlin, who was following behind Marta, asked suddenly.

“How would we know all the secrets of the dark territory? But we do know a few things. This dark territory is probably more extensive than the entire Void Zone but it is covered by the power of the natural order, so most likely, it belongs to the Void Zone. As to what is inside, no one knows. Back then, the Vestigial Tribe conquered the entire Void Zone but we never set foot in the dark territory.”

Merlin nodded. The dark territory was indeed mysterious. However, he had never even traveled across the Void Zone, what more the dark territory?

Merlin observed Marta and Larkin carefully. They were indeed flying toward a specific direction. Most probably via some unique positioning method, they were able to know Myron’s general vicinity.

“By the way, when both of you escaped, Marta had a watchman. How come there was no watchman when Larkin escaped?”

Merlin thought of a detail. Rightfully, these watchmen were supposed to guard over the Vestigial Tribe’s Golden Ray Warriors Marta and Larkin, so they would not disappear for no reason.

“That watchman left a long time ago,” Larkin replied coldly.

Merlin was taken aback as a possibility struck him.

“Does this mean that the ancient Thirty-six Emperors know that you’ve escaped?”

Merlin knew that behind the watchmen were the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Until now, Merlin had never met any of the real Thirty-six Emperors. Back then, the Purple Emperor and the Flare Emperor merely left behind some items.

It was only when the Honorable God Blackfrost released some of the Darkness God Emperor’s power that Merlin got some exposure.

“Of course they know. But again, so what if the ancient Thirty-six Emperors know?”

Though they had been imprisoned by the Thirty-six Emperors in the first place, Larkin and Marta seemed unafraid of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors.

“Back then, the Thirty-six Emperors outnumbered us. Although they managed to imprison us, they were unable to kill us. Now, many of them have died and are injured. What is there to be afraid of? Furthermore, they’re not stupid. They wouldn’t care unless we start another massacre,” Marta replied solemnly, as if in deep thought.

Merlin frowned. He did not understand what Marta meant, but the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were indeed peculiar. It was impossible that they did not know Marta and Larkin had escaped after such a long time.

However, they had not appeared. Most likely, it was not that they did not know, but instead, were unwilling to show up.

Merlin’s knowledge of what happened in the past was extremely limited, plus he had never met the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Hence, it was normal for him to be doubtful.

Merlin followed Marta and Larkin doubtfully. Soon, they arrived at the last white halo and everything looked peaceful. Merlin scanned the surroundings with his Mind Power and did not find any watchman.

“It seems like the ancient Thirty-six Emperors have indeed found out. Even the watchman has been recalled.”

A trace of suspicion arose in Merlin’s heart. The relationship between these three Vestigial Tribe’s Golden Ray Warriors and the Thirty-six Emperors was definitely not as simple as common enemies.

The calmness inside the white halo was soon torn apart by Marta. He shouted, “Myron, wake up!”

Subsequently, Larkin threw a fist in the direction of the white halo. Just like how he initially escaped, the white halo cracked and shattered.

“Boom”.

The mist inside the white halo was released and the entire dark territory seemed to be quaking.

“How many years have passed, I’ve finally broken free… Marta, Larkin, have you come to rescue me?”

A low, hoarse voice sounded. From the heart of the quake, a burly figure emerged. His body also exuded a terrifying aura.

“Myron, we’ve come to rescue you!”

This burly figure was none other than the last of the three great warriors, Myron. The energy on his body seemed adequate and he was the calmest of the lot. He was not at all as violent as Larkin.

“I knew you were coming. The watchman already told me.”

Myron’s words startled Larkin and Marta.

After a while, Marta calmed down and said, “They made the right decision. In the war back then, both the Vestigial Tribe and the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were mere sacrifices. Sacrifices to restore balance to the Void Zone!”

Despite his indifferent tone, there was a hint of frigidness.

“Anyway, since they don’t want to cause any trouble, we don’t have to pay any attention to them either. Now that the three of us are free, what’s our plan?” Myron seemed composed as he asked.

“Plan?”

Larkin shook his head helplessly. If it was a slaughter, he would stand at the foremost, but making plans and strategizing was not his forte. He simply looked at Marta.

Moreover, Marta seemed to be the unofficial leader of the three of them.

“The Vestigial Tribe has been wiped out, there’s just the three of us left. What can we do? We can’t even call ourselves a true Vestigial Creature anymore. We’ve completely fused with the Golden Ray Armor, producing an heir is practically impossible…”

Marta’s words turned the atmosphere gloomy. The once incredibly glorious Vestigial Tribe had been wiped out, leaving only the three of them. Even then, they could not revive the entire Vestigial Tribe civilization.

“So what do we do? Do we just live forever surrounded by loneliness?”

Larkin’s temper was a little violent. If he had to live the rest of his live alone, he might as well stay imprisoned. Sometimes, a long aimless life was a terrible prospect.

“Of course now. Although we cannot revive the Vestigial Tribe, we must still fulfill the Vestigial Tribe’s unfinished goal, which was to overcome the constraints of the Void Zone!”

A look of determination appeared on Marta’s face. Larkin and Myron turned their gaze towards Marta.

“Marta, tell us, we’ll follow you as our leader!” Larkin replied instantly.

“Great, then, let’s go to the origin of the natural order!”

“The origin of the natural order?”

Larkin’s eyes sparkled, but Merlin’s brows were wrinkled. Merlin could feel the omnipresent origin of the natural order everywhere in the Void Zone. How could it be found in a specific place?

“Marta, you can find the origin of the natural order?”

Merlin’s heart skipped a beat as he asked. If they could locate the origin of the natural order, he would certainly follow. That was the source of the entire Void Zone’s power; the real core of the Void Zone.

No matter what, Merlin must go there and understand the mechanisms of a Latitude Cosmos. If he could unearth the secrets of a true Latitude Cosmos, then surely if would help him turn the Illusory World from an illusion into reality. Maybe, it could also give him some inspiration.

“The origin of the natural order, of course we can find it. Actually back then, the Vestigial Tribe already discovered the origin of the natural order. We wanted to enter it but were involved in the massive war against the other civilizations. Unfortunately, all three of us were trapped by some other Emperor-level existences. Hence, despite knowing how to enter the origin of the natural order, we did not manage to accomplish it. Otherwise, based on our 100% compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor, perhaps we could have turned the situation around…”

Merlin shook his head. If the Vestigial Tribe managed to turn the situation around, then the entire Void Zone would fall apart. How could a Latitude Cosmos filled with destruction continue to survive?

Perhaps the three great warriors understood this concept or perhaps they did not understand. Regardless, they did not want to delve in further and simply perceived matters from a different vantage point.

“If you can enter the origin of the natural order, bring me along!” Merlin said in a deep voice, his expression serious.

“You? Merlin, although you’ve been rejected by the Void Zone, you’re not like us. With your ability, even the Thirty-six Emperors cannot defeat you easily. You just have to be more cautious and the Void Zone will remain relatively safe. On the other hand, the origin of the natural order is the core of the entire Void Zone. Anyone who dares to enter it would encounter a furious attack from the entire Void Zone. You have to think about this clearly,” Marta said gravely.

“Furious attack? I’ve already gotten a taste of a portion of the origin of the natural order’s powers. How can I possibly miss the opportunity to examine the core of the Void Zone close-up?”

Merlin did not hesitate and would not retreat. He had a premonition that, unless he saw the operation of a Latitude Cosmos and understood its true secret, his Illusory World would never be turned into reality.

“Haha, alright, then we’ll go together. However this time, those Thirty-six Emperors would probably stop us at all costs. You better be prepared.”

Once Marta finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the dark territory towards the depth of the Void Zone.

“What? You said they’re actually going to search for the origin of the natural order?”

The nine Emperor-level existences revealed faces of disbelief. They, of course, knew the significance of the natural order’s origin. It would definitely shake the whole Void Zone.

If there was any damage to the origin of the natural order, the Void Zone might even collapse entirely. The origin of the natural order was the power source of the Void Zone; its heart and its core.

Back then, the Vestigial Tribe discovered the origin of the natural order, which forced the ancient Thirty-six Emperors to face the most brutal war. Even thinking about it now, it was incredibly vicious. They did not want to experience another war like that ever again.

Nevertheless, now that Marta and the others were searching for the origin of the natural order, they had no other choice.

“The Void Zone is already beginning to affect us… I’m afraid more Emperor-level existences will become part of the new Thirty-six Emperors. Let’s go first. No matter what, we cannot allow then to breach the origin of the natural order.”

The Blue Emperor stared at the depths of the Void Zone and sighed silently. The three Golden Ray Warriors had not given up, so they had no choice but to fight. Still, how many of the nine Emperor-level existences would remain after this?

Subsequently, the nine Emperor-level existences triggered the power of the natural order and disappeared into the depths of the Void Zone.
