About ten thousand meters under the ground of the Dead City.

This place was practically a huge plaza where one could not see where it began or ended.

This square was filled with various types of bodies that were innumerable. If one were to sweep the glance around, this place resembled a dark colored sea where one could not see the border. The number of bodies here was simply too much to be counted!

These bodies had no consciousness and no soul, so they were just moving around aimlessly. The undying insect inside their brain was still in the process of growing, so these bodies looked just like zombies ambling around!

A dark air permeated the air, and the aura of death reached every nook and cranny.

There were constantly ghostly wails here because these walking dead were suffering from painful torment. This pain and suffering were worse than death!

Rumours were floating about that, below this plaza was actually hell!

However, this plaza was even more brutal than hell. One could not live or die if one wanted to! This was basically a purgatory for the living, and people have given this place another name: Earth's Purgatory!

This was the corpse sea.

This was Ferris's munitions factory, a place that constantly supplied him with his undying guards!

Inside a house at a corner of the plaza.

"Old man, there's a lot of commotion going on up there. Do you think that child has really come?"

"Impossible. Even if he did come, he's basically coming to his own death."

"Sigh! I shouldn't have told him those things; it would have been best for him if he hadn't known anything. Old man, that child is definitely not ordinary because his body exudes a perseverance not seen in regular people. He is also very decisive in his actions, and the most important thing of all, his heart is very kind. I'm afraid that once he sees the Gnome race being wiped out, he would rush towards the Dead City. If that really happened, then I've truly harmed him. Sigh! I really hope he doesn't come back to see what happened to our race, and not see the scenes of carnage, and never to step into the Dead City."

"A strong perseverance, decisive, and kind at the same time. Perhaps, he is the person mentioned in the prophecy."

"You damn old man, why did you suddenly become so superstitious? Prophecies are only there to comfort the living and to give them a bit of hope."

"This prophecy is different because it might be real!"

The old granny's expression looked stunned.

After a short while, she merely faintly smiled, which showed her satisfaction.

The only wish in her life was to see this old man one more time. After this, she could finally die in peace.

Now that she has seen him, she is just like a girl who has fallen in love for the first time. She was extremely happy and cherished every second with the old man. She didn't bother thinking of other thoughts. The Gnome race was close to being wiped out, so what other matters were there to look forward to?

After a while, the old granny asked, "Old man, are you really going to teach that bastard Ferris the way to dispel the undying poison?"

The old man gently tucked the old granny's white hair behind her ear as he faintly smiled: "How would I have gotten to see you if I didn't say such a thing? All these years, I have been helping him craft undying insects and harming a lot of our clansmen. I have sinned greatly. All these years, the only wish I had was to see you one more time. Now that I have seen you, I can die in peace. As for the ability to dispel the undying poison, he can forget about it for the rest of his life! Humph!"

"Are you two whispering sweet words to each other?"

"Master, Mistress, the feelings between you two have remained unchanged for several centuries, hahaha..."

Suddenly, Ferris started laughing after taunting them. A dark cloud filled with a thick aura of death then started descending to the ground. Once the cloud dispersed, Ferris's freakish-looking mouth curved into an extremely smug smile.

"Ferris, you damn mixed-breed dog! You're even lower than a damn beast!"

"Ferris, you will get what's coming to you one day!"

The couple was filled with agitation, rage, and incomparable hatred in their eyes. This type of hatred was similar to wanting to rip Ferris into pieces on the spot.

"Hahaha... You two damn undying old fogeys! If it weren't for me, how could the Gnome race possess such powerful strength now? If you two old, stubborn mules had passed to me the rest of the Undying Crafting Technique early on, I would've brought our race to conquer a territory already. The Gnome race would have returned to our most prosperous era by then. Why else should we hide in a deep hole like this, where one cannot tell day from night?" Ferris appeared quite agitated while saying this, and the big insect on his head started moving about because of it. This image of him was disgusting beyond words could describe.

Afterwards, Ferris started coldly laughing once again before saying: "But it's not a big deal because it won't be long before my wish will be fulfilled, hahaha..."

Ferris waved his right hand.

Three bodies fell from high up in the air before landing stably on the ground.

It was the Prince, Lilith, and Maxwell whose foreheads had a green glow!

The white browed elder noticed the green glow on Maxwell's forehead and became shocked. He then shouted: "Ferris, you managed to craft a Diamond rank undying insect? You even placed it inside a living person's body? What exactly are you planning on doing? You damn bastard, you damn lunatic..."

His last two curses almost turned into a roar.

The old granny's heart sank when she saw Maxwell. When she saw how painful Maxwell's expression was, her heart started aching as she blamed herself: "Child, this old granny has harmed you. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Ferris started madly laughing in a ferocious manner. "Master, your old esteemed self never expected this, right? You never expected that I could actually refine a diamond rank green divine undying insect, huh? In order to craft this insect, I had exhausted all of my efforts. I remembered back then, you said that crafting a diamond rank undying insect required the world's most Spiritual attribute. I finally found out that a virgin girl's blood was considered something of extreme spirituality. Those women of the Gnome race were rather pitiful; if it weren't for their virgin blood, I really wouldn't have succeeded in crafting it."

"But I have to thank your old esteemed self for all of this, hahaha..."

Laughter. He was laughing in a smug manner!

Ferris looked at his master's painful expression and couldn't help laughing complacently. His right hand moved, and a mass of black aura shot out to bind the old granny. Ferris's face turned grim as he shouted: "Old undying, I want you to help me stimulate the strongest hidden potential out of these three; I want to see their most perfect form. If you don't do as I say, I think you should know what the consequences are."

The black aura flames looked like they had turned into a devil as they curled around the old granny's neck and started tightening themselves.

The old granny seemed out of breath as she desperately pleaded: "Old man, don't do it, don't do it!"

"Slap!"

Ferris had swung his hand out and slapped the old granny to the point of seeing stars. He then coldly shouted: "You damn old crappy woman, you better persuade master to do what I've said or else I'll make you experience so much pain that you can neither live nor die!"

The white browed elder started frowning as his rage rose to the heavens. But there was nothing he could do. Seeing how blood was seeping out of the mouth of his wife, and her face was filled with bruises, it felt like his heart was being cut into pieces. Looking at his wife's eyes again, he wanted to make a tough decision, but then his expression turned painful. He then said, "Fine, I will agree to it. But you have to guarantee her safety!"

"Hahaha... I knew you would eventually compromise! It seems that not killing the Mistress all these years was the right choice, hahaha..." Ferris complacently laughed and continued: "As long as you can stimulate and bring out their strongest hidden potential, I will guarantee the mistress's safety."

After saying that, Ferris brought the old granny away with him while laughing the entire time. The entire corpse sea returned to its original atmosphere, filled with corpse aura, cold, damp, and a prevalent stench in the air.

The white browed elder walked over to Maxwell and whispered, "You can open your eyes now."
