After flying over the deep pit created by the hybrid demigod, and traveling a distance through the darkness, Yann and Lu Ning were getting closer and closer to the golden crack, and could already see its outline.

As the outline of the golden crack became clearer, Lu Ning and Ya En's expressions grew increasingly solemn.

The golden crack stretched from the sky to the ground, stretching for hundreds of meters in length and several meters in width.

Most importantly, a huge body was crawling on the edge of this golden crack.

The body has bronze hourglass-shaped scales on its back, and gear-like patterns on its belly and front. Its head is ferocious, with a row of compound eyes that are deep black and devoid of any signs of life.

At the tail of the body is a semi-transparent tentacle that connects to the depths of the void.

A wisp of bronze light flowed within the tentacle, seemingly containing some kind of power of time.

"Is this the body of that evil god?" Yann asked, frowning.

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, the body of the disordered time worm."

Lu Ning's mental sea still contained the source of pollution from the disordered time worms, whose phantom images were very similar to the body before him.

The only difference is that the disordered time worm phantom in Lu Ning's spiritual sea has hourglass and gear patterns flashing in its eyes, while the body in front of him seems to have no patterns because it has no vitality.

In addition, the tail of the insect in the out-of-order time is also different.

The tail of the disordered time worm phantom in Lu Ning's spiritual sea has dense, semi-transparent tentacles, which are connected to disordered time worms from different timelines.

However, the body before them had only one tentacle, and the tentacle extended deep into the void, making it impossible to see what it was connected to.

Looking at the body in front of him, especially the translucent tentacles that seemed to connect to nowhere, Lu Ning felt that this body was more than just a body.

However, he didn't know what the purpose of this disordered insect's body was.

While Lu Ning was pondering, Ya'en glanced around and said, "There don't seem to be any other cultists here. I'm afraid that hybrid was the last guardian."

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Possibly."

To be honest, it would be quite normal for that hybrid demigod to be the last guardian.

That's a demigod!

Just then, Lu Ning saw the ground beneath the disordered time worm. It was a bronze metal surface engraved with various complex runes.

What is that?

Yaen also saw the rune and asked about it.

Lu Ning shook his head: "I don't know, but it looks a bit like the rune array I saw at that pyramid before."

Yaen frowned; the rune array from before had left a deep impression on him.

What is the purpose of this thing?

Lu Ning looked at the rune thoughtfully, then said, "Do you remember what the Eternal Corridor Saint said before? They seemed to be carrying out some kind of plan, but because of Yan Bing's sudden appearance, their plan was put on hold."

"You mean, these runes are related to their plans?"

Lu Ning nodded: "I guess so. This plan is probably related to the crack behind it."

Ya'en said thoughtfully, "According to what Yan Bing said before, the cracks in the wall here are very large, which may also be related to this body and the runes."

Lu Ning thought the same thing.

He now realizes that whether it's the Hand of the Underworld, the Moon, or this time-disordered worm, their goal is very clear: to destroy the defensive barriers outside of Earth.

According to Yan Bing's previous statement, the defensive barrier prevented the fog from completely engulfing the earth.

Once the defensive barrier collapses, these evil gods will likely descend immediately, and Earth will be completely destroyed.

Lu Ning then thought of the spiritual phantom projected by the Hand of the Underworld through that small crack.

Perhaps the defensive barrier doesn't need to completely collapse.

Since evil gods can project their power through small cracks, they might be able to descend directly in their true form if there are large cracks.

The mist may not descend so quickly, but once the evil god arrives, it will be a catastrophe for Earth.

This is probably why each of these evil gods wants to destroy the barrier.

They may not be in cahoots, but their goal is to devour the Earth.

As for why they insisted on devouring the Earth, Lu Ning wasn't quite sure.

Perhaps they could gain some kind of power after devouring the Earth?

He wasn't an evil god, so he didn't know much about this.

Thinking about this, Lu Ning's heart gradually grew heavy.

According to the previous divine decree from the Hand of the Underworld, this defensive barrier is getting weaker and weaker.

The previous Hand of the Underworld, the Moon, and now the Disordered Time Worm can all tear through barriers and interfere with Earth in their own ways.

In the future, there will only be more and more evil gods capable of doing this, and the Earth will become increasingly dangerous.

Lu Ning pulled himself out of his tangled thoughts; the most important thing now was the situation at hand.

Lu Ning looked at the golden crack, which resembled a hideous scar in the sky.

Inside the scar, you can see swirling white mist.

Lu Ning could even vaguely see some of the distorted figures.

White mist continued to seep out through the cracks.

Then Lu Ning noticed something was wrong.

Despite so much white mist gushing out of the cracks, why isn't the level of mental pollution here as high as I imagined?

Lu Ning looked thoughtfully at the disordered time insect's body below.

He frowned and said, "This body may be absorbing the white mist."

Ya'en was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I suspect that after absorbing the white mist, this body may have a chance to be resurrected, or through some special channel, the true form of the Time-Disordered Worm in the mist may descend onto this body to achieve the purpose of descent."

Upon hearing this, Yann remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "The Time-Disordered Worms have descended directly? This is insane."

Although Yann knew he was shocked and even somewhat terrified, he found himself completely unmoved.

It was as if I were completely detached from the matter.

This feeling made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was no longer himself.

But he is powerless to do anything about it now.

However, Yann soon stopped thinking about this issue.

He frowned and said, "In that case, we need to close this crack first."

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "I'll give it a try."

Yann did not object.

After all, according to Qinglan's previous report, cracks appeared in the walls of the No. 233 fog, which Lu Ning had closed.

Of course, the previous crack was completely different from the current one.

Ya'en doesn't have similar abilities, so he can only pin his hopes on Lu Ning and hope that he can succeed.

Lu Ning flapped his fleshy wings and flew toward the location of the golden crack.
