The matter of reviving the Demon God is of great importance, so Jiang Hou decided to notify Jiang Ruochan and the others after a brief contemplation.
However, with all the high-level combat forces deep into the ruins for tens of thousands of kilometers, even Jiang Hou can't contact them at will.
The wireless signals on the ruins side are contaminated, and wired transmissions constantly degrade, making long-distance communication very troublesome.
"I am the Marquis of Yidu Jiang, requesting contact with the frontline Demon Suppression General Jiang Ruochan."
Rising too quickly, Jiang Hou hasn't even visited the headquarters of Celestial Punishment Dragon City, let alone known the high-ranking inside Tian Fa, the only Demigod he's familiar with is Jiang Ruochan.
"Communication headquarters authorization granted, identity verification passed, establishing cross-realm Spirit Array, calling Demon Suppression General, estimated time two hours."
Two hours, that's doable.
Upon receiving the response, Jiang Hou hung up the communication on his smart watch.
Due to waiting for the 'call', Jiang Hou couldn't leave work early and could only open the computer to search detailed information about the Celestial Divine Race.
The so-called 'Outer World' refers to bubbles attached outside the edge of the real world boundary.
At the end of the cataclysm in the last Era, strong individuals developed these prototype worlds, sealing them through a secret sleep technique, thus avoiding disaster.
After countless millennia of evolution, these worlds developed their internal heavens and earth.
The rules inside differ from the real world, allowing cultivation, and the life within call themselves the Divine Race, continually growing through the legacy left by strong individuals of the last Era.
But these small worlds have limited resources, and the innate rule ceiling only reached Demigod.
In fact, some of the strongest in the broken Outer Worlds were only Tier Eight Legends.
Decades ago, when the real world connected with the ruins during a change in heaven and earth, some Outer Worlds opened fissures that allowed entry into the ruins.
However, to these Celestial Divine Race, ruin monsters are more bloodthirsty and frenzied than when they see humans, as if something crucial in them attracts those monsters.
Currently, humans know of seven Celestial Divine Races, three hostile to humans, two indifferent, and two Divine Races have secret contact with humans.
For example, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf clan.
Another Divine Race called Celestial Lion has contact with the Ancient God Research Institute.
Currently, the conflict between the Celestial Divine Race and humans is not strong, coupled with the Outer Worlds hidden deep in space crevices, with only the internal Divine Race possessing coordinates, there is temporary peace for now.
"Those starlights, they must be the coordinates." Jiang Hou's eyes twinkled, thinking of the master phantom who, upon gaining all the revival Demon God's authorization, opened the starry sky projection.
Who would have thought that the so-called Outer Worlds, Ancient Divine Races, are just food prepared by Ancient Demon Gods from the last Era for awakening themselves in the next Era.
After reading this, Jiang Hou saw it was still early, contemplating a bit before entering 'Dark Realm' in the search bar.
This is a force independent of the three Transcendent Powers; previously Jiang Ruochan was ambushed by this force upon breaking through to Demigod.
The current real world has deployed all high-level powers, internally weak, not only needing to prevent Ruins Evil God invasions but also guard against this force.
As Jiang Hou pressed search, numerous files regarding the Dark Realm appeared.
The so-called Dark Realm comprises mainly those half-controlled or those retaining some human awareness post-loss of control, bloodthirsty, inhumane Transcendents.
These individuals are powerful, roaming the depths of the ruins exploring relics, hunting monsters, or robbing and ambushing Transcendents deep in ruins.
Over decades the Dark Realm is known to have five Demigods, all wanted by the three major forces, rarely daring to show themselves.
One of them was killed by Jiang Ruochan not long after breakthrough.
Apart from those four Demigods, the organization known as 'Darkness' also has some Transcendents and partially conscious Evil Gods.
However, these people are scattered, dispersed throughout the depths of ruins, gathering only when some ancient relics emerge or profits entice them.
Under the deterrence of three True Gods, those Evil Gods haven't dared to approach human territories for decades, let alone return to the real world.
Of course, Jiang Hou knows nothing is absolute.
Not returning is merely because the benefits aren't great enough, such as the last interception of Jiang Ruochan.
Time slipped by as Jiang Hou explored various secret dossiers until the appointment time arrived, his watch on the wrist began ringing.
"Attention, connection established with Realm Abyss Royal City, projection will open in ten seconds."
Buzz!
Quickly, blue light shot from the watch's side hollow, forming a light screen several meters wide in mid-air, showing Jiang Ruochan's figure.
The black-haired girl, dressed in a luxurious black-gold armored skirt, stood at the edge of a ten-thousand-meter cliff, behind her a black-and-white light wheel several meters in diameter slowly rotated, the aura fierce.
She appeared to have just finished a great battle.
Jiang Ruochan inquired, "Jiang Hou, why did you suddenly contact me? Did something happen?"
Jiang Hou wasted no words, "Does the president remember what I mentioned earlier, about transforming into a giant beast encountering a revival Demon God in the ruins?"
The black-haired girl nodded, "Have those revival Demon Gods made movements?"
"Yes, just before my consciousness descended, I saw over a dozen Ancient Demon God figures..." Jiang Hou then relayed everything he knew to Jiang Ruochan in detail.
Those Ancient Demon Gods' existence concerns the Era's catastrophe, including human survival, nothing can be concealed.
When Jiang Hou finished, Jiang Ruochan's expression had turned extremely grave, "I never expected even master-level Ancient Demon Gods, these terrifying beings have revived."
"Indeed very terrifying." Even now, thinking about that terrifying entity, Jiang Hou felt a lingering fear.
More despairing is that such great beings, even in the face of Era catastrophe, must self-sever the true body, seal in sleep, gambling on hope for revival in the next Era.
Jiang Ruochan pondered, "This is indeed crucial, I'll inform the old fellows, as for the next steps, it's up to them."
"You needn't worry too much, if the sky falls the tall ones will hold it up, if they can't withstand it, we're done for too."
"But for now, their target is the Celestial Divine Race, not invading the real world." At this point, Jiang Ruochan advised.
"Regarding the harvest a few days later, I suggest you don't go, even if your consciousness projection can disguise with the Seal of the Kings, your true body would be seen through instantly by that master if drawn there."
"Such beings, even with strength only restored to the True God Realm, possess powers beyond our imagination."
Jiang Hou nodded, "Rest assured, president, even without your warning I wouldn't go; unless one day I step into Demigod's realm, then I'd consider contacting those Ancient Demon Gods with my true body."
"That's best."
After the matter, Jiang Hou couldn't help his curiosity, "President, how's your situation?"
Jiang Ruochan gravely replied, "Very troublesome, that Forbidden Giant Beast is stronger than expected, only three True Gods together can contend, currently still confronting."
"Other monsters..."
However, before Jiang Ruochan finished, the projection suddenly dissipated...
