Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye and the others felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time.

The Ark of the Covenant is the ultimate goal of their journey and is also something of vital importance to Daxia. If they cannot bring the Ark of the Covenant back, not only will their trip be in vain, but they will also have a hard time explaining to Tianzun.

"Gone? How could it be gone?" Lin Qiye asked in confusion, "Could it be that you remembered the wrong place?"

Michael shook his head. "Impossible. The Ark of the Covenant is too important. It has always been stored beside the Holy Lord. Even after the Holy Lord turned into the moon, it has never been moved. It is here."

He raised his head and looked around at the shattered palace. His furnace-like eyes narrowed slightly:

"This palace shouldn't be like this... Someone has been here before."

"Wasn't this palace destroyed by your battle between heaven and hell?"

"No, although the war between gods was brutal, the flames of war did not spread to the Holy Lord's residence. It was still intact before I went to the moon to watch over the human world."

An Qingyu on the side frowned slightly, squatted down in the corner of the palace, picked up a few broken bricks, and a gray light flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly stood up and nodded, "Yes, these fracture marks are very recent, they should have been left within the past week."

One week...

Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the broken palace. After pondering for a moment, he stretched out his hand and pressed lightly in the void.

A gorgeous magic circle opened in front of him.

The moment the magic circle appeared, Michael's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at the magic circle, his eyes seemed to trace the spatial changes of the summoning magic, looking for something.

The next moment, a black shadow walked out of the magic circle, and between its eyebrows, a red eye slowly opened.

"I'm Nurse No. 007 Heitong. I'm willing to serve the dean at his whim." Heitong bowed slightly and spoke politely.

"Use your ability to spy on the past and see who has been here in the past week." Lin Qiye said calmly.

Black Eye's [Eye of Prying Eyes] can detect the past and future of inanimate objects within a week. It is most effective in finding people and objects.

"yes."

The red eye between the black eyebrows looked at the broken palace in front of it. A mysterious light flickered between the black pupils. In its vision, the time of this palace began to rapidly reverse.

One day, two days, three days…six days, seven days.

In the first few days of recall, the palace was still a ruin, without any changes. But when Hei Tong's [Eye of Peering into the Mysteries] began to spy on the past seven days, something strange happened!

In the reversed shadow of the palace, Hei Tong vaguely saw a figure standing on the ruins. He seemed to have noticed something and turned his head, his eyes penetrating endless time and space and looking at him.

Bang--!!

Hei Tong's body was like being hit by an invisible sledgehammer. He flew backwards dozens of meters and fell heavily on the ground outside the palace ruins.

"Black pupil?!"

This sudden change shocked Lin Qiye. He rushed forward quickly and helped Heitong up. Strands of black blood were flowing out of that red eye.

"Hmm?" Michael seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at the nothingness beside the platform. His eyes, like a furnace, narrowed slightly. "This aura..."

"Heitong, are you okay?" Lin Qiye looked at Heitong's painfully twisted shadow with a frown on his face.

"I'm fine... I just suffered some backlash." Hei Tong closed his red eye and said in a weak voice, "He saw me."

"who?"

"Seven days ago, the man standing here... No, that was definitely not a human, that was a god." Hei Tong said confidently, "Although I didn't see his appearance clearly, from the aura I could tell, that was definitely not a power that an ordinary god could possess... That was a supreme god! And he had a disgusting evil aura on him."

The Supreme God?

When Lin Qiye heard these three words, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He turned to look at Michael, only to see the latter standing at the edge of the platform, looking thoughtfully at the nothingness in front of him.

"He's right." Michael said slowly, "The breath just now could only have come from the Supreme..."

"But how can other supreme gods enter the kingdom of heaven?" Lin Qiye's eyes were filled with more doubt. "Hei Tong said that he carries an evil aura. Can he also enter the kingdom of heaven through the Pure Land of the Soul?"

Michael pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"The evil god cannot enter heaven. He can enter here because he must have passed through another place..."

Michael's gaze fell on the end of the horizon, on the crack in the giant sword where crimson lava was surging.

"Did he enter heaven from hell?" An Qingyu seemed to realize something.

"The boundary between heaven and hell was broken in the war between gods countless years ago. As long as he finds the entrance to hell first, he can pass through hell and reach heaven. This is the only possibility."

"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Er asked while floating in the air.

Michael narrowed his eyes slightly, and the six wings behind him were all stretched out, almost completely covering the dim sky. His figure floated up from the earth, and his golden eyes burst out with divine power as bright and hot as the sun!

A brilliant golden field spread out rapidly with Him as the center like a storm, rushing towards the sky in an instant!

The terrifying divine power surged out from the six-winged figure in the sky like a tide. Lin Qiye and the other two were so shocked that they could only hold on to their bodies. Even though Michael's target was not them, the aftermath alone was enough to push them to the limit.

"What is he doing?" An Qingyu asked with clenched teeth while resisting the power of the Seraph.

“It’s the [Mortal God Realm].” Under this golden domain, Lin Qiye, the agent, couldn’t help but ignite golden light in his eyes, “He is looking for the Supreme God…”

After a moment, Michael, who was hanging in the air, seemed to sense something. He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the void and fall into the deepest part of hell.

"How dare you hide here..."

Michael's eyes, which were full of passion and majesty, flashed with murderous intent.

The six pure white wings that covered the sky and the sun shook lightly in the air, and His figure flashed through the void in an instant and disappeared into the heaven.

The terrifying feeling of oppression disappeared with the disappearance of Michael. Only a few remaining golden rays of light diffused in the air, and Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief.

An Qingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the sky with lingering fear, "Where did he go?"

"We should go after the Supreme God who stole the Ark of the Covenant." Lin Qiye thought thoughtfully, "But which Supreme God would ascend from hell to heaven to steal the Ark of the Covenant..."

Before Lin Qiye finished speaking, the heavenly land beneath his feet suddenly shook violently!
