They did not find out what the Blood Evil Emperor said. When they came out from the Heaven Path Realm, they found themselves above a sea area with surging cold tides in it.
Qi Dingdong and Xiang Linglong were overjoyed. For them, this sea area was like their backyard. They were home again.
Lu Li was relieved to have a look. If they were at the cold waters, they could arrive at the Space City quickly and teleport to the place where the Abyss of Demons army was invading.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Wherever they were, the first thing they had to do was to find a place to gather information.
After all, the information the Blood Evil Emperor had was not accurate or comprehensive. They must find out everything as soon as possible.
"This way. I remember there is an island over there. It belongs to the Ram Family."
Xiang Linglong didn't fly away. She pointed to the east and said.
Lu Li followed Xiang Linglong. They flew as fast as they could and arrived at an island in four hours.
Lu Li disguised himself as a middle-aged man using the Transformation Mask. Xiang Linglong and Qi Dingdong were famous in the Cold Waters. He would be exposed if he didn't change his appearance.
Their arrival at the island caused a sensation. The owner of the island was only at the middle stage of the Fifth Tribulation. He welcomed them in with respect. Soon, they learned about the situation outside.
The situation was bad. There were bloody battles every day at the Northern Plains. Many warriors died every day.
The situation at the Chilly Winter Continent was stabilized because of the reinforcement from Emperor Candle Heaven.
But the Abyss of Demons was building many Demonic Puppets. The Abyss of Demons army swarmed in. Nobody could tell how many warriors there were at the Abyss of Demons.
The only piece of good news was that almost all the major families had taken actions and offered a large number of treasures. Many warriors of the Third Tribulation and Fourth Tribulation were teleported to the Northern Plains and the Chilly Winter Continent. Conservatively speaking, the number of warriors had reached 100 billion.
Many of these people would not be going to the battlefield for the time being. They were all given pills, given secret manuals of divine incantations, and sent to some treasured lands to cultivate. Once they succeeded in their cultivation, they would be given treasures and sent to the battlefield to fight against the Demon Abyss Army.
In other words, the two battlefields had hundreds of billions of reserve warriors. The Abyss of Demons could not have hundreds of billions of warriors.
The Third Tribulation could use the advantage of numbers to wear down the Abyss of Demons.
A protracted war!
This was a temporary strategy. At the same time, they began to investigate the specific number of experts in the Demonic Abyss. The most important thing was to investigate whether there were experts of the Demonic Ancestor level. If there were experts of this level, how should they deal with them?
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
If he didn't even have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation, how could he defeat the enemy?
The Reincarnation Heavenly Monarch and the others were all top-notch figures, and there were also many extraordinary people in the third heaven. In front of a great enemy, it was time for all the races to display their abilities.
With the arrival of the Third Heaven's World-Ending Calamity, it was destined to give birth to some heroes or formidable characters. Of course … the prerequisite was for the human race to emerge victorious. If they failed, they would all be reduced to dust.
After some discussion, Lu Li and the other two decided to go to the Ram Island of the Ram Family first and then take the Teleportation Formation to the Spatial City. Finally, they would take the Spatial Gate in the Spatial City to the Northern Plains Continent.
Lu Li was worried about the situation at the Chilly Winter Continent. After all, the Yin Family was there and so were his two brothers, Qin Zhan. But the Northern Plains Continent was closer to the Chilly Winter Continent. Also, Xiang Linglong and Ling Long would not go to the Chilly Winter Continent. All the powerful warriors of their families were at the Northern Plains Continent.
What was more, there were many powerful warriors at the Chilly Winter Continent, including several of Lu Li's sworn enemies.
Phoenix Queen, Sunlight Emperor and the others had gone to the Chilly Winter Continent with Emperor Candle Heaven. Lu Li didn't want to court his own death. If he went there and his identity was discovered, he might be killed.
Actually, there was another important reason, which was that Lu Ling was at the Northern Plains Continent.
Lu Ling didn't know him yet, but he wanted to be closer to her. If anything happened, he could be of help.
After the discussion, the three of them began to teleport. Lu Li wasn't worried about whether the Qi Family would come after him.
The Qi Family had locked Qi Tianyu in the Netherworld Realm for 10,000 years. Lu Li believed that the Qi Family wouldn't come after him. He could just return the Sovereign Weapon.
In two days, they were back at the Spatial City. Qi Dingdong promised that if anything happened to Lu Li, she would commit suicide as an apology.
In the Ram City, Qi Dingdong made some inquiries and found a secret agent of the Qi Family to understand the situation. She took Lu Li to the Space City with ease.
Qi Dingdong and Xiang Linglong's appearance caused quite a stir at the Spatial City. Many people of the Qi Family knew that Qi Dingdong and Xiang Linglong were still in the Heaven Path Universe.
Patriarchs of the family were alarmed. Two patriarchs came out at once to welcome Lu Li, Xiang Linglong and Xiang Linglong.
Lu Li noticed that the two patriarchs were looking at him with mixed feelings. There was a touch of hostility and envy. But on the surface, they were warm and friendly.
Lu Li was relieved. No matter what, the Qi Family would not kill him.
The two patriarchs welcomed Lu Li in and told him about the decree from the Reincarnation Emperor. Lu Li was taken aback — the Reincarnation Emperor really gave him the Sovereign Weapon and the position of patriarch.
Qi Dingdong was so excited that she was beaming. She was delighted by the Qi Family's attitude toward Lu Li. The Qi Family had acknowledged her lover. She wouldn't be in a dilemma anymore.
At this juncture, Lu Li could not join the Qi Family and become a patriarch.
Fighting against the Abyss of Demons was the priority. Everything else should be put aside.
Lu Li declined politely. He said he would think about it after the Abyss of Demons was defeated.
It was pointless to say anything now. If the Third Heaven was destroyed, the Qi Family would cease to exist. What was the point of joining the Qi Family?
The patriarchs of the Qi Family didn't give up. They continued to persuade Lu Li to become an honorary patriarch.
With this title, at least at the Northern Plains, nobody would dare to do anything to him secretly. After all, the Reincarnation Emperor was still there.
Lu Li thought it made sense. The most important thing was that the title of honorary patriarch was a nominal position. Lu Li didn't have to work for the Qi Family. Instead, he could enjoy the treatment of a patriarch of the Qi Family. All he had to do was to lend a helping hand when the Qi Family was in trouble.
The Reincarnation Emperor was one of the most powerful emperors at the Third Heaven. Unless the Reincarnation Emperor died in battle, the Qi Family would be fine.
Therefore, the title of honorary patriarch only had benefits and nothing to do.
It was said that this was a decree from the Reincarnation Emperor. This was a great honor.
If Lu Li were to refuse again, he would be too pretentious and unappreciative.
Lu Li nodded in agreement. The two patriarchs of the Qi Family were overjoyed. Since most of the patriarchs of the Qi Family were not here, the two patriarchs said they would send out a notice in the name of the Hall of Patriarchs. When there was a chance, they would gather all the patriarchs of the Qi Family and hold a grand ceremony for Lu Li.
