“There’s a moment when it becomes calm, it can be explored then.” The Old man explained, “Everytime this thing appears, there is always an unexplored area inside. It always attracts a lot of people.”

“News of this one hasn’t spread out, hence the current peace. The second news of it circulates, people will flock over.” 

“Of course, it’s just as dangerous as the opportunities it presents. Only on a few occasions has the place been safe. Well, not really safe, it was just that the strength of the creatures there was too weak. Even the little girl with you can dominate the entire realm.” 

“Oh, so it’s like that.” Grey nodded in understanding. 

It was unknown what’s inside these realms since they were unexplored, but one thing is certain from what the Old man had said so far, there’s always treasures inside. Natural treasures made without any human interference. 

Void was a greedy little cat and wanted everything for himself, so even with the vast amount of treasures he had hoarded, he wasn’t satisfied. 

Between him and Grey, he had at least double of the treasures Grey owned, and they were more valuable than what Grey gets. There have been occasions he ventured into places and took a lot of treasures without Grey’s knowledge. 

“We should wait, it will settle down in a few hours.” The Old man said. 

Grey nodded and settled down by the side, while he was waiting, he sensed something and looked to the north. He saw some people rushing over, all were in the Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

When the group saw Grey and the Old man, they paid their respects to the Old man and went to the side to wait. It was clear that their intention of coming here was to get into the new realm. 

“They got the news quickly. More people will arrive since this group has caught wind of it.” The Old man whispered to Grey. 

Grey closed his eyes and didn’t pay any attention to the group that just arrived. The group consisted of four people, but the strongest was only in the Third stage. With his current strength, only those at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane could catch his attention. 

A few hours later. 

Two more groups had arrived, the strongest being in the Seventh stage. 

The fissure had started to calm down. 

Grey opened his eyes to look at it. 

‘Why do you keep closing your eyes when you’re with people?’ Void asked in disdain. 

Grey didn’t reply to him, he had been in the chaos space, studying it. To be honest, it had been a long time since he entered the chaos space. When he first entered the Chaos Battlefield, he had the thought of entering the chaos space due to feeling there might be some connection between them. 

He was caught up by a lot of things and forgot to enter. When he came here, waiting, he decided to check it out. The change shocked him to the core. What was more shocking was the small sun that appeared in the chaos space. 

The chaos space had always been lit, but there wasn’t any sun that was lighting up the place. 

The sun that appeared was not only lighting up the place, but he could sense some energy from it. It was a shocking sight to him. 

‘What’s this place? Who is the Chaos God?’ 

Questions rang in his head, but he didn’t have the answers, nor did he know who could provide him with any answers. He could only slowly explore it and find out the answers to his questions. 

The fissure soon stopped and a portal appeared in the middle of it.

Grey looked at it and stood up, taking a step forward. 

“Kid, don’t you know your elders should go in before you.” A man’s voice came from behind him. 

Grey didn’t turn to look at who was talking. He had already heard this person speaking all this while. Although he wasn’t too interested in them, he made some investigations. This man was in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, but he was accompanied by the man who was in the Seventh stage. This made the man speak down on others around. 

For some reason, the man in the Seventh stage didn’t reprimand him for his behavior, so Grey guessed he was the one encouraging it. 

Grey kept his cultivation stage hidden, so no one knew how strong he was, but they didn’t think he would be stronger than the man in the Seventh stage. 

“Are you coming?” He asked the Old man. 

The Old man thought about it for a while and nodded. 

“Let’s go.” Grey took a step forward and the Old man followed behind him. 

The man in the First stage was about to speak up when the man in the Seventh stage stopped him, he looked at Grey with serious eyes. 

The Old man was in the Third stage, yet he followed behind Grey like a servant, he didn’t need any explanations. Grey was definitely stronger than someone in the Third stage, and not by a single level at that. 

The man in the First stage didn’t speak any more and followed behind the man in the Seventh stage as they walked into the portal. 

The rest of the people in the place followed behind them, entering by their strength level.

After they entered the place, another group appeared, and if Grey were here, he would’ve been shocked. The group that appeared were Gnomes. 

The Chaos Battlefield was a place that had portals to different places, and the Gnome race’s realm wasn’t an exception. 

“Are you sure he’s here?” One of them asked. 

“Yes, the track leads here. He must’ve entered that place.” Another one replied. 

“Fine, let’s go. We’ll kill him there.”
