Upon seeing the three Crystal Skulls, they immediately began asking Su Yang what had happened, as they were utterly shocked.

Su Yang didn’t have much time to explain these matters to them. In fact, after what had happened before, he didn’t dare speak carelessly within this main trunk area.

According to the Heavenly Warrior inside the wormhole, there were many spies sent by the Guardian Gods within this main trunk. These spies were all Beast Tamers, whose strength had reached the level of a Saint Emperor, yet they had defected to the side of the Guardian Gods, working for them.

These people infiltrated the main trunk, all as members of the Human Clan, making it impossible for anyone to discern whether they were Human Clan or Beast Tamer. Their role in gathering information for the Guardian Gods was to keep a close eye on the situation within the trunk, allowing the Guardian Gods to clearly monitor everything happening inside.

Su Yang didn’t dare to speak recklessly. He didn’t know if he might encounter a Beast Tamer or two. The information he now possessed was crucial for the Human Clan’s survival. If these details were exposed, then the Human Clan would likely be doomed!

With the three Crystal Skulls in tow, Su Yang retraced his steps back along the original route.

According to his mother’s plan, their task was to transform their piece of the Great World into the Human Clan’s final sanctuary.

The other Great Worlds were all under the control of the Guardian Gods. Their Great World was the only one yet to be controlled by them. If the Human Clan could seize this Great World, they would at least have one of their own and a chance to turn the tide!

As Su Yang and his companions returned along the same path, they encountered quite a few individuals. Nevertheless, by now, Su Yang and his group were quite seasoned within this main trunk and had a rough understanding of the situation here. So, even when running into people, they were not the least bit afraid, projecting an air of confidence. With few Spiritual Sources on them, they passed through safely without anyone causing trouble.

Upon reaching the territory of the Demon Beast Clan, Su Yang and his group disguised themselves as members of the Demon Beast Clan, finally entering their territory.

Here, they didn’t encounter much trouble either and easily found their way back to the node they initially entered through. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Of course, this was all thanks to the guidance of the three Crystal Skulls. Su Yang alone wouldn’t have been able to find his way back at all. It’s not that Su Yang couldn’t remember the way—his memory was quite good, actually. The issue was that within this main trunk, all the node exits were identical, so no amount of memory would help.

Only the three Crystal Skulls, with their almost innate sensitivity, could find the way out. Otherwise, relying solely on Su Yang, the chances of finding his way out were indeed slim.

Upon exiting the main trunk and returning to the branch, Su Yang and his companions felt much more at ease. In these areas, their combat power wasn’t weak, so there was no need to worry about danger.

For safety’s sake, Su Yang also summoned Lin Ke and Lin Yuan, who had previously been following him. These two individuals were strong, and having spent thousands of years in the branch, they were very familiar with the environment here.

After Su Yang entered the main trunk, Lin Ke and Lin Yuan had been inside Su Yang’s Personal Space, unaware of what had occurred outside.

Yet, in truth, the two were very anxious. After all, Su Yang had gone to hunt down the Guardian Gods, and the main trunk was extremely perilous. To them, Su Yang and his group entering the main trunk to pursue the Guardian Gods seemed like an act of suicide.

Unexpectedly, Su Yang not only survived but also emerged unscathed, filling the two with immense joy.

With Su Yang emerging, he could take them to his Great World, freeing them from the torment of the Land of Chaos.

"Brother Tianxiang, have you...have you already killed those Guardian Gods?" Lin Ke asked cautiously, harboring doubts. After all, some of those Guardian Gods were Main Gods. The power of a Main God was beyond Su Yang’s ability to contend with.

"They are already dead!" Su Yang replied calmly.

Lin Ke’s eyes widened, full of shock. Had Su Yang actually killed those Guardian Gods?

Yet he didn’t notice the nuance in Su Yang’s words. Su Yang said those Guardian Gods were already dead but hadn’t said he killed them. Indeed, Su Yang didn’t lie; those Guardian Gods were indeed dead, but they were killed by the individuals led by the Heavenly Warrior.

"Congratulations, Brother Tianxiang!" Lin Yuan quickly bowed.

Su Yang smiled, not dwelling on the matter. He needed to maintain an air of mystery in front of these two to ensure they would obediently work for him.

The Heavenly Warrior had asked him to gather some Human Clan members here to deal with the Guardian Gods. However, Su Yang was very conscious that even if he could gather some Saint Emperors, who had become nothing but skeletons, would they willingly serve him?

After all, to become a Saint Emperor, one had to emerge victorious among billions of beings. These individuals, though temporarily trapped in the Land of Chaos, were still proud and lofty.

Even if Su Yang led them out of the Land of Chaos, would they willingly submit to him? If Su Yang couldn’t control them, taking them out wouldn’t necessarily aid in dealing with the Guardian Gods and might only bring more trouble for Su Yang.

Therefore, selecting two thousand people to leave wasn’t the difficult part. The critical issue was how to make these two thousand people willingly work for him.

Su Yang pondered momentarily and then looked at Lin Ke and Lin Yuan. "Isn’t there talk about many Saint Emperors who have lost their power within this branch? Where do these Saint Emperors usually reside?"

"Huh?" The two glanced at Su Yang in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question.

Nonetheless, they didn’t question further. Lin Yuan directly replied, "In this branch, there are a few passages specifically designated to house those Saint Emperors ejected from the main trunk. The branches with the most powerless Saint Emperors are within those passages."

"Do you know where these passages are?" Su Yang asked quickly, knowing it was most suitable to find the Saint Emperors in these locations.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Yes, we’ve passed through those places a few times before."

"Take me there!" Su Yang stated directly.

"Huh?" Lin Yuan was taken aback, looking at Su Yang in surprise. "Brother Tianxiang, are you...are you really going? Those places can be...quite dangerous..."
