Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1133 - 1072: First World

The King of Hell gazed into the far reaches of the Tulunfa Galaxy and said softly, "Ever since that Ancestral Mother from the Insect Race fell into slumber, the three queens of the Insect Race have been openly and secretly contending with each other, each wanting to unify the entire Insect Race. After the Queen of Agony left the Tulunfa Galaxy to join us, her control over the Bee Insect Clan weakened. This extended period has given the two other queens enough time to infiltrate the Bee Insect Clan. This incident with the Queen of Agony is most likely orchestrated by those two queens, either the Ant Queen or the Spider Queen, or perhaps they are working together. Otherwise, how could mere Zhuó Yèhuá dare to betray the Queen of Agony? The Insect Race and the Nagas have already colluded, and Zhuó Yèhuá is merely a pawn!"

The other Demon Kings fell silent. If it were merely the Nagas, revenge wouldn’t be too difficult. But if the Insect Race is involved as well, it becomes much harder to address.

The Insect Race is one of the top-level races in the universe, with their power spanning multiple galaxies. The strength of those two queens is unfathomable, rivaling that of the Queen of Agony, and they could ascend to divine status at any time if they wished.

More daunting is the slumbering Ancestral Mother of the Insect Race! She was one of the first Creator Ancestral Spirits born at the universe’s inception, the ancestor of the entire Insect Race, with strength on par with a Deity!

Among The Seven Archdemons, only the King of Hell could contend with her in the Mortal Realm. The other Demon Kings could not, unless they relinquished their Mortal Realm status to ascend to the Heaven Realm and become Deities, then they might be able to fight that "Ancestral Mother"!

In addition, there are several demigod lords within the Insect Race, including some at the Void God Level.

Though the power of The Seven Archdemons is formidable, dealing with the Insect Race would demand a considerable price!

The King of Hell turned his head, and the black hole under the hood faced the First World once more, solemnly stating, "No matter what, the great revenge for the Queen of Agony must be exacted! I declare, the plan for invading The Second World is temporarily on hold. We must make preparations as soon as possible to head to the First World and eradicate the Naga tribe. If the Insect Race dares to support the Nagas, we will wipe out the Insect Race as well!"

The other Demon Kings also gazed in the direction of the First World, their eyes blazing with immense fury.

...

Meanwhile, Zhuó Yèhuá was oblivious to what had happened with the Queen of Agony. He had been following the trail of secretions, traveling through several hidden interstellar teleportation arrays, and had finally traversed the vast void to arrive on a satellite of the First World.

This is the planet closest to the First World, one of the three "moons" of the First World, offering a clear view of the First World’s terrain.

The First World is vastly different from the Second World. This planet is slightly larger, with land covering more area than the ocean. The land is dotted with flourishing cities, and even some colossal architectural wonders can be seen clearly from orbit. The ocean’s water is a beautiful deep blue, with islands dotting it like green gemstones. Additionally, a massive Sky City floats at an altitude of ten thousand meters, sustained by mystic formations for operation.

The entire First World exudes a strong sense of civilization, with both magic and technology highly advanced, far surpassing that of the Second World.

After some tracking, Zhuó Yèhuá arrived at the base of an arid ring mountain on this planet and entered a concealed cave.

Proceeding further in, he found a massive underground chamber, its floor engraved with intricate patterns, revealing yet another interstellar teleportation array!

He had already tracked several such interstellar teleportation arrays. They were all constructed in desolate corners of various planets, undetectable by ordinary beings. Presumably, someone had secretly built them, and he relied on the trail of secretions to discover these teleportation arrays, allowing him to travel quickly. Otherwise, traversing the void manually would have taken an incalculable amount of time to reach the First World.

As before, he stepped directly onto the interstellar teleportation array, and with a flash of light, he disappeared from sight.

When Zhuó Yèhuá opened his eyes again, he found himself in a different place, a vibrant island, standing on a teleportation array on the beach. Behind him, towering trees covered the island, abundant and green, with the calls of unknown birds and beasts echoing in the distance. The ocean ahead teemed with life, with whales drawing water, seagulls soaring, and schools of fish swimming together. The dense spiritual energy rushed to meet him, invigorating his spirit.

"To think the Queen of Agony could be hiding in the First World to heal; this place, rich in spiritual energy, is indeed perfect for healing!" Zhuó Yèhuá took a deep breath and murmured to himself.

Then, he continued following the trail of secretions into the vast ocean.

After flying for a while, the trail of secretions suddenly began to fade rapidly, leaving only a faint trace!

Zhuó Yèhuá glanced around, seeing nothing but a boundless ocean, with no signs of anything unusual.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed upon the depths of the ocean below!

The rapid fading of the secretions indicates they might have submerged to the ocean floor!

Zhuó Yèhuá immediately changed his course and dove into the water, heading for the seabed.

Along the way, the trail of secretions was as thin as a thread but never ceased, confirming that he was on the right path, with the secretions on the ocean floor!

As the depth of his dive increased, the light grew dimmer, and the pressure of the water greater. Below remained an unfathomable depth, only immense darkness, with the faint silhouettes of deep-sea giant beasts roaming in the shadows, concealing unknown dangers.

Zhuó Yèhuá pressed on without fear, continuing to dive deeper, with his figure gradually vanishing into the depths of darkness.

...

Right beneath Zhuó Yèhuá, at the deepest part of the seabed, stood a massive altar!

The leader of the Naga tribe, Medusa the Gorgon, sat coiled with her snake tail, eyes closed, in the center of the altar.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, but her hair was terribly fearsome, comprised of living snakes intermittently flicking their tongues, though they were all listless at the moment. Additionally, there were partially severed dead snakes, victims of a previous battle where Medusa the Gorgon’s snake hair was shattered.

Surrounding the altar were eighteen demigod powerhouses, seated in a mystic formation, forming a complex pattern.

At this moment, they all extended their palms, continuously emitting beams of red light, linking with Medusa the Gorgon, to channel divine power for healing her injuries.

The healing had been ongoing for several days, but with meager results. The stronger the individual, the harder it is to recover from injuries. Medusa the Gorgon, being a Void God Level powerhouse, suffered consequences from her wounds far more severe than those of ordinary demigods.

Just then, the water above surged, and a Naga with red scales descended, landing outside the altar.
