"It's here…"
"According to the coordinates, this is the world described?"
"But this form… this shape of the world, I've never seen anything like it before."
"No wonder that fat guy was so interested in this world."
After five or six days of traversing the void, Chu Hao finally reached his destination.
Before him lay a secret world shaped like the number "8"!
A new world rising above the remnants of the old world's twilight.
The unique shape piqued Chu Hao's curiosity.
Beneath this secret world lay a world long dead.
He could tell because, to his eyes, everything in that world had thoroughly "decayed."
Its world rules and core formulas still existed, but the lifeforms and resources that once accompanied these rules had, over time, turned into ashes, settling at the bottom of the world.
Although this old world was dead, Chu Hao, as a deity, could still sense the immense potential it once possessed.
"A medium-strength divine realm world!"
Even from the remnants of ash, he could deduce enough information to roughly gauge its strength.
A world's power can largely be measured by the number of rules it can contain and its energy transformation formulas.
The stronger the world, the more complete its core rules and the greater the number of rules it can support.
But all of that had long since turned to dust.
Yet the death of this old world was not meaningless.
Above its "corpse" arose a new world, slowly taking in the resources of the old world and giving birth to new rules, new creatures, and a new environment!
Everything about this fascinated Chu Hao.
"Interesting."
Although he had witnessed dozens of secret worlds perish, he had never observed a world's "rebirth."
After observing for a long while, Chu Hao finally took action.
He hadn't come here to simply watch a divine world's rebirth—he had come to destroy it.
As Chu Hao's Divine Fire surged, a black-red vortex gradually appeared behind him.
The cries of beings, carrying the darkest thoughts and screams from within, began to manifest alongside the Endless Abyss.
"The power of the Endless Abyss has increased again… even the songs of the world can now be manifested…"
Chu Hao closed his eyes, speaking softly.
In the next moment, his figure transformed into pitch-black mist, merging into the black-red vortex.
Then, from the throne at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, Chu Hao's body reappeared.
This time, he did not analyze the crystalline rules of this divine world in the void.
He intended to test the strength of the "Demon Princes" this invasion war.
He wanted to see if these Demon Princes, forged by the Endless Abyss itself, could independently invade a world.
Although the secret realm area was undergoing the so-called "anomalies," time was limited.
This did not prevent Chu Hao from using the Demon Princes as experimental subjects.
The Endless Abyss itself was present; if necessary, it could directly intervene in the war.
But if that happened, it would mean the Demon Princes did not meet Chu Hao's requirements—they would have to be recalled and reshaped.
At Chu Hao's command from his throne, an invisible wave swept through the Endless Abyss.
Eyes full of cruelty and malice turned toward the bottom of the Abyss, sensing their master's call.
Moments later, dozens of Demon Princes appeared through their respective spatial portals.
"Ma… Ma… …"
The Demon Princes, each of different appearances and species, bowed respectfully before Chu Hao.
He wasted no words, issuing a simple command:
"You will soon participate in a war to invade a new world!"
At the words "invasion" and "war," the elite demons widened their eyes and growled lowly.
These demons, who saw suffering as pleasure and destruction as pursuit, were instantly thrilled.
They were eager to sharpen their teeth on the bones of the world's creatures!
"During the invasion, you must overcome several major challenges: dimensional crystalline walls, unfamiliar environments, and overwhelming numbers of enemies."
"Yum, Osiris, Jik, and others will not help you."
"The Eye Mother, Laktovia (the lustful creature), and Daimon will not participate either."
Chu Hao opened his eyes, calmly observing the Demon Princes.
"Besides the forces you can command in your own domains, the rest of the Endless Abyss will remain silent and stay within the Abyss!"
"Moreover, this invasion war has a time limit set by me…"
The Demon Princes, accustomed to commanding ordinary demons, immediately began to tremble at the gravity of his words.
"The worst-performing half of you will be replaced by other qualified, powerful demons!"
"A Demon Prince is a rank within the Abyss, not a lifetime 'throne'!"
Even the most foolish among them now understood the stakes.
Chu Hao then sent the Demon Princes out from the bottom of the Abyss to mobilize their own forces.
He remained seated at the Abyss's core, observing each Prince's invasion.
In his view, the invasion difficulty was minimal.
Each Demon Prince should already be capable of invading a world independently.
Now, dozens were invading the same world together—a test of their autonomy.
If they could not handle this, their fates were already sealed.
"Begin… the next invasion."
From the Endless Abyss itself, dozens of black tentacles shot out from the vortex, wrapping around the "8"-shaped secret world.
Each tentacle carried the armies led by the Demon Princes.
This would be their first battle as holders of the Endless Abyss' authority.
