"Speak. If it was some ordinary matter, you wouldn't have taken the risk of entering the hidden domain. Quickly, tell us what you know." Blade Overlord's eyes narrowed as he waved his hand at the man.

"Reporting to domain masters. Yesterday, Battle God personally took the initiative to lead War God Temple, Barbarian Shrine, and Ocean Temple to Divine Religion's faction territory and launched peace talks. In less than a day, they agreed to peace without any conditions," the informer quickly reported the news.

"What? Battle God initiated for peace? Don't tell me War God Shrine and Central Continent lost the battle?"

The five of fluxers were shocked and began to look at each other in astonishment.

Battle God's fierce and intense style was deeply etched into their hearts. Earth's most formidable, strongest, decisive, and uncompromising person was the image of Battle God in the hearts of people. This also didn't mean just fluxers like Blade Overlord and the others, but every single person in the Central Continent.

Yet Battle God had taken the initiative to ask for peace. If that didn't mean that he had lost, then what else could it be? What could be the reason which forced him to cross his bottomline and take such an action which was thought to be unimaginable for him.

For a while, the five people considered the guess that Battle God's faction of three had been defeated and that the three continents behind them had also lost. Moreover, they lad lost so thoroughly that they had no chance of making a comeback.

"It's not like that. Everyone thought that at first, but it was quickly investigated and found to be false. Battle God's faction hadn't lost the war, but..."

The black clothed informant slightly hesitated and paused.

"Continue. Since it is a matter related to the people standing at the top of Earth's power pyramid, I will allow you to speak your mind even if you're just grasping for straws."

After learning that Battle God hadn't been defeated and the Central Continent hadn't lost, Blade Overlord's group breathed a sigh of relief.

Whatever happened to Battle God or the Central Continent had no relation to the five of them, but given that it involved the safety of their master's parents, they had no option but to treat the matter with the great importance.

"Some unverified information has been circulating among the top powerhouses. According to rumor, there was a sudden burst of sinister energy from Black Dragon Island the day before. Because of it, all the six continents decided to quickly make peace."

The black-clothed man quickly delivered all the information collected by the domain walkers.

After Blade Overlord and the other four heard it, they were left speechless for a long time.

They couldn't imagine how terrifying the energy which erupted from Black Dragon Island had to be to force the six monsters on Earth to reach a compromise without any disputes in a single day.

"Alright, you go now and tell the leader of domain walkers to spare some effort and pay attention to Barbarian Niu's whereabouts… In addition, keep your eyes on the situation of master's relatives in Vega City. If there are any changes, immediately carry out emergency measures," Blade Overlord instructed before commanding the black-robed man to retreat.

In the last two and a half years, the five had strictly followed Li Yunmu's instructions and hadn't stepped out of Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain.

But it wasn't like they had lost all eyes and ears in the outside world. Because of the great increase in their strength, the five of them had formed a small but powerful faction of their own.

It easily became one of the top three factions which shouldn't be provoked. Naturally, this was only in the Fifth Dimension, but there were still many benefits to leading a faction. One of them was 'domain walkers'. They were the members of the faction which had a base in all the steel castles of the Fifth Dimension. Moreover, their feelers had also secretly sneaked into the real world.

The domain walkers mainly constituted of people who belonged to the private powers of Blade Overlord, Nangong Gongzi, and other six halted fluxers. In the two years, the people under Li Qinghong, Demon, and Barbarian Niu had also been integrated into the underground organization controlled by Blade Overlord.

Their main task was to collect information about the real world and act as the eyes and ears of their leaders. Domain walkers had spread quickly throughout the Fifth Dimension because they were composed of people who came from the private powers of the eight halted fluxers and because the five followers of Li Yunmu had become formidable to the extent that they couldn't be neglected in the Fifth Dimension.

Blade Overlord and other four had been given the titles of domain masters by the people of the Fifth Dimension. It was based on the fact that the five of them occupied the entire Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain.

But everyone clearly understood that they weren't supreme existences, but also had a master named Li Yunmu. But he had descended to the Origin World and whether he was able to return or not was something which no one could tell.

Some people completely ignored him, believing that no one from the last generation of descenders would return.

But some people still held some hope. Some powerhouses, organizations, and clans had already began to collect silk before it rained 1 . They took the initiative to establish good relations with the factions under those who had descended.

No one could guarantee that there would never come a day when the descenders would establish a passage between the two worlds and return to the Origin World. Even if the chances of it happening were one in ten thousand, it might still happen!

After the descenders had entered the Origin World and stayed there for a long time before returning to Earth, their future strength and potential would increase greatly. Those with a foresight could see this and were quick in making relations with them.

Thus, although Blade Overlord and his people had remained extremely low key, many powers and clans had still established temporary friendship with him.

As a matter of fact, even without Li Yunmu's influence, the five of them had already matured enough to become one of the overlords of the Fifth Dimension.

Because of that, Blade Overlord and the others had great influence and possessed concealed power. After the black-clothed man had withdrawn, the five of them instantly looked at each other with fright in their eyes.

What sort of existence could force the six behemoths to become so concerned?

They didn't know much about it, but one thing was certain—they didn't need to continue arguing over the matter of whether to go out to rescue their master's relatives or not.

Since the six powers had negotiated peace, their master's relatives in Vega City would remain safe and sound.

"Seems like we need to increase our strength quickly. Earth's situation is changing every day, and heavenly transformation is coming increasingly closer. We all must make preparations before master returns," Nangong Gongzi said.

With nothing else to discuss, the five of them quickly began to cultivate again, after making an appointment to meet up a month from then once more. Although Li Yunmu wasn't on Earth, they still had a vague connection with him because of being his followers. Even if they were separated by the energy barrier between the two worlds, their link wasn't completely severed off. Their soul imprint was still bound to Li Yunmu's heavenly world.
