Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 60 Returning Home, Conquering the Eternal Tower!
Long Haochen's body jolted violently, his pupils contracting sharply: "Separate?" His voice trembled with disbelief.

“That’s right.” Moonlight gazed at him calmly. “Each of the moon’s heads possesses an independent soul, right?”

Long Haochen's eyes suddenly widened, a terrifying thought flashing through his mind: "The commander is saying that the God of Divine Punishment is one of Haoyue's souls?"

His voice trembled slightly with urgency.

The thought of freeing Haoyue from the fate of being condemned by the god of divine punishment made his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Moonbeam shook her head slightly: "I can't be sure. But the God of Divine Punishment is a nine-headed chimera, but what if we prevent Bright Moon from evolving into a nine-headed one?"

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his palm.

Moonlight's gaze was piercing, and his voice was steady and powerful: "Power itself has no distinction between good and evil; good and evil reside only in the human heart."

He stepped forward and looked directly into Long Haochen's eyes: "Even if you refuse this inheritance, you should still step into the Tower of Eternity with dignity and stand in front of Ilex to refuse it in person!"

A night breeze rustled through the trees and grass in the distance.

“I could sense that he meant no harm,” Moonbeam’s tone softened. “Otherwise, we would never have been able to leave that tower alive.”

"Furthermore," he paused meaningfully, "Electra himself said that you, like him, are children of light. Why would someone favored by the God of Light fall into the path of the dead? And why would they hate the Glorious Church?"

Moonlight's voice gradually lowered: "Aren't these questions worth your investigation to uncover the truth?"

The fog in Long Haochen's eyes suddenly dissipated, he straightened his back, and his voice was firm and powerful:
"I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Commander!"

Yuehui looked at Long Haochen, whom she had successfully CPUed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

(Little Haochen, it's not that I'm heartless, it's just that Cai'er still needs to rely on Electrolux to remove the side effects of the Reincarnation Furnace, so I can only ask you to make do for now.)
……

Yuehui and Long Haochen walked back to the crevice side by side, and five pairs of eyes turned to them at once.

Moonlight coughed lightly, the sound echoing clearly between the stone walls:

"The exploration mission of the Cave of Fear and Howl is complete, and the target for hunting demons has been met." He looked around at everyone, "Now we only need seven seventh-tier demons."

“Now we have two choices,” Moonbeam held up two fingers, “one is to fight a guerrilla war in the Demon Province and complete the remaining hunting missions; the other is to return to the Holy Alliance immediately to rest and recuperate.”

His gaze swept over the tired yet determined faces of each team member. "Let's vote."

Wang Yuanyuan was the first to jump up, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her eyes burning with fighting spirit: "We must kill them all before we return!"

Lu Xi slumped onto the rock, feeling like his body was falling apart. He weakly raised his hand and said, "I'm voting to return to the city... My bones are about to fall apart."

"I...I also agree to go back," Chen Ying'er said softly, clutching half a piece of dry food in her hand, her voice barely audible.

Cai'er stood quietly in the shadows, her gaze following the moonlight, saying nothing, yet her silence spoke volumes about her stance.

"Han Yu, Hao Chen, what about you?" Yuehui looked around at everyone and asked.

Long Haochen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I... I also think we should go back. We've been through a lot on this trip, and we've made quite a bit of contribution. Perhaps we should go back and reflect, work towards the sixth rank, and then..."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but Yuehui understood what he meant—

All characters are at Tier 6, let's conquer the Tower of Eternity!
"And what about you, Commander? What were your original ideas?" Wang Yuanyuan asked, still clenching her fists tightly, somewhat unwilling to give up.

Moonlight smiled slightly, her tone steady: "Me? I naturally also plan to return to the Holy City. After all, there are no time limits or penalties for failure in the hunting missions; I can do them whenever I want."

He looked around at everyone and continued, "Moreover, as Hao Chen said, we've experienced a lot on this trip, which has greatly benefited our cultivation. With the merits and the demon corpses, we can exchange them for a batch of cultivation pills." "Most of you have around 3,600 spiritual power. Go back and focus on your cultivation. Once you break through to the sixth rank, we can even apply to advance to the commander-level demon hunter team. At that time, the merits will come even faster."

At this point, his gaze hardened, and he met Long Haochen's eyes, solemnly saying:
"Furthermore, Hao Chen and I have discussed it—we have unanimously decided to enter the Tower of Eternity for training!"

Moonbeam's words were like a thunderclap, instantly igniting the entire Demon Hunter team.

Lu Xi sprang to his feet: "Captain, are you crazy?! That's..." His voice trembled, "...the necromancer's lair!"

“He’s a Necromancer.” Moonlight corrected, raising her index finger, her gaze sweeping over each shocked face. “I know how infamous that name is in the Holy Alliance. But—”

He suddenly raised his voice:
"First, the fact that Electrolux has chosen Haochen as its successor cannot be changed!"

“Secondly,” he held up his second finger, “as a powerful figure from a glorious era, would the Tower not possess the legacy of that time? Even if it only brings out a few skills, that would be a qualitative leap for the Holy Alliance!”

“The most crucial point is the third one!” Moonlight raised her third finger. “Electra himself guaranteed—the tower is absolutely safe!”

He spread his hands: "A cultivation paradise that can improve your strength with zero risk." A smile appeared on his lips. "What more could you ask for?"

Han Yu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! Even if we don't need the inheritance, just using it as a training ground is a huge win!"

Moonlight surveyed the crowd and made the final decision: "We will depart for the Holy Alliance tomorrow evening!"

"Yes!"

……

A chilling wind howled at the entrance of the cave.

The fourth pillar demon god, Samigina, stood respectfully to one side, next to a handsome man as beautiful as an immortal – none other than the first pillar demon god, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Emperor Fengxiu.

“Your Majesty, this is the place,” Samigina said, bowing. “I humbly request Your Majesty to explore the secrets of the cave.”

Feng Xiu nodded slightly, and dark purple demonic light burst forth from her eyes, instantly enveloping the entire mountain range. Wherever the demonic light passed, the texture of the rocks became clearly visible.

After a moment, Feng Xiu frowned slightly: "It's just a natural cave, nothing special."

"This is impossible!" Samigina exclaimed. "I have already lost over a hundred elite soldiers here, including a lord and two commanders!"

Feng Xiu frowned slightly, her voice as cold as a frozen pool: "Are you questioning my perception?"

Samigina immediately knelt on one knee, his armored knee striking the ground with a dull thud: "Your Majesty, I dare not! But Your Majesty, there is definitely something wrong here."

"It's just some tricks from the Demon Hunters." Feng Xiu casually opened his palm, and dark purple spiritual energy flowed through his palm as if it were alive.

"The power of thunder?" He frowned slightly, and the demonic energy continued to probe deeper.

besides--"

Suddenly, the dragon emperor's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

His hand clenched tightly, and his spiritual energy instantly dissipated.

For the first time, an undisguised look of fear appeared on that perpetually composed and handsome face.
