Chapter 820: Grave News



Vaan traveled five kilometers into the seven-kilometer-long passage before opening up a new inclined path that stretched for another thirty-four kilometers, connecting to a different rare metal deposit.

However, he didn't reach the second rare metal deposit before opening up another inclined pathway leading up to the next closest mineral deposit.

He repeated the same step until he linked up a few dozen mineral deposits and was five hundred kilometers closer to the surface. There, he finally discovered some soil among the endless layers of rocks.

Ding!

<Analyzing soil composition...>

<Soil composition analysis completed>

<Soil composition: 32.67% limestone powder, 29.51% carbon dust, 17.87% humus, 6.63%...>

'As expected, there's a fair bit of humus,' Vaan mused.

Even without confirming the soil composition, he had already guessed there would be a substantial amount of humus in the soil after scanning the soil-to-rock formation in the area. After all, the soil-to-rock formation somewhat resembled a neural network, which he figured was most likely created by plant roots.

Humus was the decomposed organic matter of plants.

However, considering the sheer size of the soil-to-rock formation, the roots of the plant life had to be equally enormous, and there was no such large plant in Vaan's knowledge.

Even the roots of the world tree that used to exist in the Verdant Wood Kingdom would have paled in comparison by at least a hundredfold.

If a plant with such enormous roots existed in Pangea, it would be easily seen from anywhere on the continent.

After all, such a colossal plant life would have been comparable to the fabled Tree of Origin that was said to pierce into the heavens. Such an enormous tree had only ever been recorded in stories and never seen or proven to exist at least, not in Pangea.

There wasn't a single existing plant in Pangea that could even come close to such size with its roots.

'The remnants of colossal plant... The Purpleflame Territory was said to be a once flourishing green planet filled with incredible magical plants before calamity descended on its land. Could this place be part of the Purpleflame Territory?' Vaan wondered.

Although it was too early to draw a conclusion with a single discovery, he was already leaning toward the Purpleflame Territory.

After all, the Darksea Abyss Territory was a toxic water planet like Pangea. It was hard to imagine any plant life thriving to unimaginable sizes in such a harsh environment, even if they most likely existed in that vast unknown sea.

Furthermore, Vaan learned that the magical plants that used to grow in the Purpleflame Territory even attracted the Skymagia Star Kingdom.

If the Purpleflame Territory possessed such pure mana within its soil, it would be easy to understand why its magical plants could grow so well.

'Purpleflame Territory, huh? I hope this subterranean region is part of the Purpleflame Territory,' Vaan desired.

Considering he intended to become the Great Devil of the Darksea Abyss Territory, all its resources practically already belonged to him.

On the other hand, the Purpleflame Territory was still ownerless.

Thus, if the subterranean region was connected to the Purpleflame Territory, he could continue to enjoy its valuable resources without the other Great Devils' knowledge.

Why wouldn't he want to enjoy the resources of two territories without competition?

If Fourth Dream was unwilling to take over her shift, so be it. After all, even if Fourth Dream didn't want it, Seventh Dream definitely did.

Nevertheless, Fourth Dream suddenly didn't know what to say when Ninth Dream challenged

her.

She remembered that her cultivation was one stage lower than hers. As such, she wouldn't be able to beat her.

If she didn't quickly increase her cultivation, wouldn't she be bullied by her younger sisters in the future? Where would her dignity as the fourth elder sister be?

Suddenly, Fourth Dream didn't find it so bad to take over Ninth Dream's shift.

Although she was still mad since Sir Vaan's whereabouts were currently unknown, she really should try this thing called masturbation and catch up on her cultivation.

"Never mind. I will look for Sir Vaan and guard him," Fourth Dream stated.

"There's no need to trouble you, Fourth Sister," Seventh Dream shook her head and

volunteered, "I can do it."

"I insist, Seventh Sister," Fourth Dream firmly stated.

"Eh? Alright then, if you insist..." Seventh Dream timidly conceded after seeing her fierce yet

determined gaze.

Shortly after, Seventh Dream and Ninth Dream watched Fourth Dream depart in search of

Vaan.

"Hmph, smelly Fourth Sister," Ninth Dream snorted with a resentful look, muttering, "I was going to share the grave news with you. But since you are so mean and scolded me, you can

suffer with us."

"Huh? What grave news are you talking about, Ninth Sister?" Seventh Dream quickly inquired

with astonishment.

Ninth Dream glanced left and right, confirming Fourth Dream was gone before she whispered

into Seventh Dream's ears.

The moment Seventh Dream heard the so-called grave news, her whole body instantly froze

in disbelief.

However, her expression soon twisted into shock and outrage.

"What did you just say?! Sir Vaan can really-Mmf!!"

"Shh! Don't let Fourth Sister hear you!"
