Lu Li and all the others could already tell that Bai Qiuxue did learn the Enchantment before the queen made the verification.
For the Hag Race, there was nothing that could compete with this Enchantment, which was evident by the scene before them—all the hags were on their knees.
As a matter of fact, anyone that could learn and master the Enchantment were regarded as the god of the Hag Race and could have absolute power. As far as the hags were concerned, those that could make this accomplishment were no different than gods.
The Hag Race had been in existence since the ancient times for tens of millions of years, enjoying a history longer than that of the Cyan Phoenix Race.
Throughout their history, there were only three that learned the Enchantment. The first one was the hag that established the race, the second one was one of the Hag Race's ancient gods, and the third one was also a human girl.
Therefore, the Hag Race had no doubt about Bai Qiuxue learning the Enchantment and they regarded Bai Qiuxue as their goddess right away and all the Hags would listen to her.
This was what Lu Li took away from the conversation between Bai Qiuxue and the queen. He was overjoyed to see the silver lining. He was on the verge of giving the Hag Race up and little did he expect that Bai Qiuxue could help him out.
"Let's go!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Li planned to leave right away.
Of course, he wouldn't just run. He asked Bai Qiuxue to order the Hag Race to conquer the territory of the Yellow Goblin Race. Lu Li wanted to keep the tunnel connecting the world of Green Dwarfs in his own hands.
The queen didn't refuse. The Yellow Goblin Race was one of the least powerful ones among the 18 races in the world. The Hag Race could destroy the Yellow Goblin Race let alone control their territory.
Under the queen's order, the Hag Race armies moved out. She called upon 100,000 Hags to march towards the Yellow Goblins' territory.
The queen was injured and she lost one of her breasts. That being said, this was just skin trauma. She wouldn't die from this. It was just not pretty…
The queen traveled with the army and she wanted to occupy those mountains in person. For her, Bai Qiuxue's orders were a holy decree that she couldn't disobey.
Lu Li was relieved to see that the queen didn't have anything up in her sleeves after he observed her for a while. Lu Li was not afraid per se. Bai Qiuxue could immobilize them with her Enchantment and Lu Li was not afraid of soul attacks. If the queen was up to no good, then Lu Li would have to be the bad cop and kill her.
There were so many hags so they could not travel quickly. Lu Li started to ask Bai Qiuxue to pose some questions to the queen to gather information about this world.
The queen told everything Bai Qiuxue wanted to know without any concern. Bai Qiuxue had gathered enough information about this world in just half a day.
The 18 races called the world the Deserted World. They didn't start here. More than 200,000 years ago, they fled to this world. Before that, they were all once famous at the Central Plains.
In the ancient times, pure humans were actually very weak. Back then, there were 10,000 races with different skills, controlling the entire world. Humans, on the other hand, could only steal some life in a corner.
Then there came three wars involving the 10,000 races. The entire world was in a foul wind and rain of blood. Many powerful races were killed and some declined. In the end, some races had to go to small worlds to avoid being destroyed…
While the 10,000 races were fighting, the once weak humans rose up. Many talented humans learned cultivation and Profound Meaning and they could be as powerful as leaders of some big races.
More than 200,000 years ago…
The third war broke out when the human race rose sharply and killed and destroyed many races. Humans took control of the most prosperous lands in the world, looted many resources and became the master of the world.
The 18 races were driven away from the Central Plains and sought shelter in this Deserted World. In order to hide from humans, the 18 races sealed off all the tunnels to the outside.
When they first came here, there were 70 or 80 races, but then more than a dozen of them were destroyed over the fight for resources. Right now, there were only 5 powerful races and the rest of the races didn't have too many powerful ones.
As time passed by, there came other tunnels to the outside world. There were 6 that had been found. Even… there was one connecting the Central Plains. But that one was closed right away. A race sent someone out to have a look. When they found Central Plains were still in the hands of humans, none dared to go out again…
The most powerful races, the Titan Race and the Stellar Race, had said that they would kill everyone in a race if anyone dared to go out and anger the powerful warriors at the Central Plains.
Therefore…
After the Yellow Goblin Race found the tunnel, they didn't send over an army. Instead, they just sent some scouts to look into the world of Green Dwarfs.
"Speed up!"
Learning this, Lu Li asked the queen to travel faster. If the Yellow Goblin Race destroyed the tunnel, they would have to stay here for the rest of their lives.
"I must take control of this world!"
Lu Li made up his mind. For one thing, there were many Mystical Materials here, and for another, there were powerful races. If he could make all the races surrender to him, he would become so much more powerful.
There were many Mystical Materials but the Deserted World must be lacking some rare ones, just like the small world the Cyan Phoenix Race was in. If Lu Li could make the races here surrender and then buy them some Mystical Materials so they could make breakthroughs, there would be more and more powerful warriors serving him.
Maybe after dozens of years, he could have some warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm working for him!
By then, he could establish a new Lu Family at the Northern Desert that could compete with the one at the Central Plains with similar powers. He could become the 13th Royal Family.
Of course, those were just in Lu Li's head. Nobody could tell what would happen later.
Maybe the Mammoth Race couldn't give orders to the Titan Race, then Lu Li's ideas would not be practical. Or it was possible that information of this Deserted World would get out, and families from the Central Plains would be involved and not only wouldn't Lu Li gain any profits, he might end up being killed…
Anything could happen. Lu Li could never be too careful. One wrong move might be the end of his life and he could not have another chance to rise up again.
What he needed to do was to take control of the exit and return to the Northern Desert safely.
…
After days of traveling, Lu Li finally arrived at the mountain where the exit was. This was the territory of the Yellow Goblin Race and there were many Yellow Goblins living in caves.
The queen ordered her army to attack without any pause. She told the army to kill all the Yellow Goblins in sight and then inform the Yellow Goblins that the mountains would belong to the Hag Race from now on.
The Hag Race relied on the Titan Race but the Yellow Goblin Race relied on the Stellar Race. The two races, the Hag Race and the Yellow Goblin Race, had a feud that broke out this time. The Yellow Goblin Race mobilized many armies, ready to put up a desperate fight.
"What?"
Lu Li was fuming with anger when he learned that the Hag Race and the Yellow Goblin Race each had an army of 10,000 and were ready to fight. He shouted, "Bai Qiuxue, tell the queen to occupy the surrounding areas of the exit now. If it is destroyed, we will be here forever and be savages."
