Chapter 0424: Return to the Hengyuan Dimension

“Saxton, what exactly happened?!” In the central hall of the Beikal Family’s mountain peak, Woodlow asked his son, who had just been rescued, his brows furrowed.
Had the Land of Forgetfulness closed early this time? Didn’t it usually take a year? It had only been four months so far!
“Father, I don’t know either. While flying in search of the Heavenly Fruit and the Nether Pearl, suddenly a repulsive force emerged from the entire space of the Land of Forgetfulness, blasting me away. When I woke up, I was already outside it!” Saxton recounted the situation.
“A mysterious force? The Land of Forgetfulness closed early?! What’s even stranger is that none of our descendants found the Heavenly Fruit or the Nether Pearl this time—not even one!” Wifley, the eldest elder of the Beikal Family, murmured thoughtfully.
In the hall, the other elders also fell into deep thought.
This was far too strange.
Even though the Land of Forgetfulness closed early, all the descendants from the six major families had been inside for over four months, yet none of them had obtained the Heavenly Fruit or the Nether Pearl!
“Elder, although the Land of Forgetfulness closed early this time, we can’t be sure that no one obtained the Heavenly Fruit or the Nether Pearl,” Wifley suddenly said after a while.
“Oh?!” Woodlow and the other elders turned to look at him.
“Elder, hasn’t any descendant from the six major families been reported to have obtained the Heavenly Fruit or the Nether Pearl?” asked one of the elders. If someone had gotten them, it would surely not remain hidden—everyone would know.
“You’ve forgotten about one more person!” Wifley said.
Woodlow’s mind flashed: “Are you referring to Yellow Dragon?!”
The Land of Forgetfulness closed early, and the disciples were sent out by the repulsive force, but no trace of Yellow Dragon was seen.
Wifley nodded.
In the hall, the elders exchanged glances.
“Yellow Dragon’s whereabouts are unknown, but it’s now confirmed that Feid from the Runing Family and Sid from the Gibran Family have been killed in the Land of Forgetfulness,” Wifley continued.
These key descendants all had their life essence seals engraved at their respective family headquarters. If they died, the higher-ups of their families would naturally know, so Feid and Sid’s deaths were not a secret.
However, this time, aside from Feid and Sid dying, the other disciples were unharmed.
“Feid and Sid were quite strong. Only a few people could kill them. Are you saying they were killed by Yellow Dragon?” Woodlow pondered.

Wifley nodded. “It’s just my guess.”
Though it was merely a guess, everyone in the grand hall understood it was most likely the work of the Yellow Dragon.
“By then, Bishop will probably go mad. I heard he gave those three top-grade ninth-tier divine artifacts to Fei De to take into the Land of Forgetfulness. Hah, trying to seize the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth and the Abyssal Pearl? This time he’s lost both his wife and his soldiers,” Woodlow said with a laugh.
The people in the grand hall laughed as well.
“Since the Land of Forgetfulness is closing early this time, and we can’t get the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth or the Abyssal Pearl, we’ll have to wait until next time,” Woodlow said resignedly. “The family already has almost used up its supply of the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth. I was hoping to get a few more this time to craft a Heavenly and Earth Pill. It seems we’ll have to find another way.”
But what would Woodlow and the others think if they knew that the Land of Forgetfulness would never open again, or perhaps never open at all in the future?
The high-ranking members of the Beikal family were discussing it, as were the other five major families of Runing.
In the central grand hall of Runing, Kennedy, Bishop, and others were also asking each of the youths who entered the Land of Forgetfulness questions.
Of course, Bishop’s expression was dark, not looking good at all. His proud grandson was dead, and those three top-grade ninth-tier divine artifacts—just thinking about them made him feel pain. He had paid a huge price to obtain those artifacts from his friend.
“Yellow Dragon!” Bishop was filled with rage, his murderous intent intense.
Like Woodlow and the others, Bishop naturally guessed that his grandson Fei De had been killed by the Yellow Dragon.
“Elder Bishop,” Kennedy suddenly turned to Bishop and spoke up.
“Yes, clan leader,” Bishop replied quickly, trying to control his emotions.
“We’re also very sad about Fei De’s death. The family will surely send people to investigate this matter. We won’t let our core family members die without a clear reason,” Kennedy said.
Hearing this, Bishop sneered inwardly. Who hadn’t guessed it was the Yellow Dragon’s doing? Now you speak so grandly—nothing but shielding that Yellow Dragon. Investigate it? Maybe in a million years, ten million years, or a hundred million years.
But though that was what he thought, he replied verbally, “Thank you, clan leader.”
Kennedy nodded.
“However, Bishop has a question,” he said suddenly, changing his tone.
Kennedy frowned. “Go ahead.”
“I wonder why, while other youths were sent to the Land of Forgetfulness and were struck back by some unknown force, Chester wasn’t affected?” After saying that, Bishop turned to look at Chester among the youths below in the grand hall, a cold glint in his eyes.

In the great hall, all the elders and disciples were staring at Chester. Although they had been puzzled earlier, they hadn’t voiced their doubts. Now, after Bishop mentioned it, they all focused their attention on Chester.
Chester’s expression remained calm. “As for the reason, I don’t know either. Like the other disciples, I woke up outside the Land of Forgetfulness after being sent there.”
“Is that really the case?” Bishop sneered.
“What do you think, Elder Bishop?” Chester countered.
“Hmph!” Bishop snorted coldly. “I think you knew there was something wrong with the Land of Forgetfulness in advance and left through the teleportation array at its center, didn’t you?!” He emphasized his words. “Chester, you have great audacity to deceive your elders!”
Deceiving elders was a serious crime under the Runnin family’s laws!
Yet Chester remained calm, staring coldly at Bishop. “If you want to frame me, there’s always a way. Then I ask Elder Bishop—is this just a guess, or do you have solid evidence? Did someone see me come out of the teleportation array?”
Bishop’s throat tightened.
But Chester didn’t stop, continuing, “Does Elder Bishop always impose punishments based on guesses?”
“You dare!” Bishop’s face changed as he shouted.
“Could it be that I’ve hit the nail on the head, which is why you’re so angry?!” Chester sneered. With Kennedy and the others present, he wasn’t afraid of what Bishop might do to him. Moreover, after learning that Fied was the killer of his younger brother, Chester harbored deep hatred for Bishop, who had covered up the truth.
Of course, Chester dared to challenge Bishop because he had his great-grandfather, Rodri, the fifth elder of the Runnin family, backing him. Although Bishop was the top elder, each of the top ten elders in the Runnin family held a status not much lower than his.
Bishop was filled with anger. Many elders and disciples, seeing him flustered, secretly clapped their hands, rejoicing at his misfortune.
Bishop held authority over the punishment hall, but there were also many disciples who resented him.
“Enough, Elder Bishop. It doesn’t matter whether Chester came out of the teleportation array or not. There’s no need to argue further,” Kennedy interjected.
“Yes, clan leader,” Bishop replied, filled with resentment.
The discussions among the six major families about the incident in the Land of Forgetfulness, as well as the fact that Huang Long had won first place in the competition among the six families at the Corner of Forgetfulness and revealed his identity, spread to every corner of the Netherworld as the trillions of godly warriors left.

“Is Huang Hai, the one from the Runing family who challenged Elder Bi Shap of the Runing family, none other than Huang Long?!”
“Who else could it be?! Moreover, during the duel, Huang Long revealed himself to be a high-level Soul Master, a high-level Array Master, and a high-level Beast Tamer. Even more terrifying is that he possesses twelve divine avatars!”
“Heavens, twelve divine avatars?! How is it possible that Huang Long has developed twelve divine avatars?! Could it be just a rumor?!”
“Trillions of god-level warriors who went to the Forgotten Corner saw it with their own eyes—how could there be any doubt? Back then, twelve divine avatars appeared in the Sea of Wind and Thunder. Now it’s confirmed that this person is Huang Long. He has a strange ability to change his appearance!”
“Change his appearance?!”
“That’s right. I heard that Huang Long collected ten Wind and Thunder Beads to complete the task assigned by the Runing family. Later, he consumed the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth. I think that special ability came from consuming that fruit!”
“Hm? That can’t be right. Didn’t Huang Long still not have consumed the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth when he was in the Sea of Wind and Thunder?”
Thus, that god-level warrior who guessed that Huang Long’s special ability came from consuming the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth was left speechless, not knowing how to respond.
After a while, the god-level warrior stammered, “I’m not sure about that. But Huang Long has already admitted he isn’t from the Runing family. Back then, several clan leaders from the Terrence family fought fiercely to get Huang Long to join their clan. It’s said even the great Marshall, who has reached the highest level, offered to take Huang Long as his disciple!” At this, the god-level warrior said excitedly and with reverence, “In the end, even the three great Supreme Gods came!”
“The Supreme Gods came?! Could it be that the three great Supreme Gods also wanted to take Huang Long as their disciple?!”
“That’s right. But Huang Long not only rejected the requests from those major families and Lord Marshall but also rejected the great Supreme Gods!”
Thus, endless exclamations arose!
As the gods discussed, Huang Long, along with Greg, Brad, Bog, and others, emerged from the Land of Forgetfulness and arrived at the edge of the Onda Continent, near the Sea of Darkness.
“Master, shall I return to the Sea of Darkness first?” Greg asked respectfully.
Huang Long nodded.
Greg hesitated for a moment before asking, “I heard that Master will challenge Bi Shap in a war between realms in ten thousand years.”
Huang Long understood Greg’s concern and said, “Don’t worry. Bi Shap can’t kill me yet. After the war between realms, I’ll return to the Sea of Darkness.”
Although Greg was puzzled by Huang Long’s confidence, he didn’t bring it up again. Instead, he asked, “So, what will Master do next?”
“Return to the Hengyuan Realm!” Huang Long replied slowly.
