"Does this still need guessing? Xiao Mo, the great overlord, is so smart, he'll definitely know!"
This group of fanatical fans idolized Xiao Mo to an infinite degree, treating him like a god.
It was just like chasing stars in modern times, reaching the level of mindless adoration.
If Xiao Mo were to know this, it would be enough to make his toes curl with embarrassment.
He never expected to receive star treatment even after arriving in this world.
"I really want to meet Xiao Mo!"
"Right! Didn't Kuang Tie, the Lord of the Territory, Shi Tianqi, say in the [World Chat Channel] that he met the great overlord Xiao Mo just now?"
"And he was saved by him?"
"Heavens, I haven't been watching the [World Chat Channel]! This is too fortunate, to have actually met the real person!"
"If I were to fall into danger, and the great overlord Xiao Mo could come to save me, I would surely faint with happiness!"
"So, sisters, we must work hard!"
"Only by staying longer in the [Alien Realm Exorcism Event] and ranking higher on the [Exorcism Hegemony Leaderboard] can we have a chance to meet the great overlord Xiao Mo!"
"Mm!"
"Yes!"
Under the motivation of meeting Xiao Mo, the girls' fighting spirit for exorcism surged.
They were even able to temporarily suppress the demonic beasts.
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Mo, far underground, was unaware that a group of girls was working hard to meet him.
However, if he did know, he would probably just smile it off.
While reaching the pinnacle was his goal, he wasn't doing it to receive everyone's attention.
He simply wanted to reach the pinnacle, not for anything else.
Feeling the increasingly dense demonic aura around him, Xiao Mo closed the [Exorcism Hegemony Leaderboard] and began to focus on observing his surroundings.
He no longer needed to pay attention to his ranking on the [Exorcism Hegemony Leaderboard].
Because he knew that he would undoubtedly remain in first place.
Not only that, but the gap in points between him and other lords of territories and rangers would continue to widen.
So much so that they would never be able to catch up.
Therefore, he didn't need to worry about this matter at all; he just needed to complete the mission.
Perhaps he might even receive some hidden rewards at the end.
They continued to move inwards, clearing monsters as they went.
Xian'er extended her divine sense, probed for a while, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that there seem to be four layers underground, and each layer is vastly different."
"Oh?"
Xiao Mo was a little surprised and asked, "Then what are the specific differences, and have you found any trace of the demon race?"
He hadn't expected there to be so many layers beneath this pit.
Xian'er respectfully replied:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are indeed four layers below."
"The first layer consists of ordinary demonic beasts, exactly like what we see on the surface."
"They are numerous, and there are many demon nests here. They lack intelligence and only think of killing, feeding on humans. However, they are not very difficult to deal with."
"It's just that their numbers are too great, making it almost impossible to eliminate them all, which makes it quite troublesome."
Xiao Mo nodded, then asked, "So the first layer is just cannon fodder. What about the second layer? What is it like?"
Xian'er continued:
"The demons on the second layer are weaker than those on the first layer."
Xiao Mo was even more surprised.
"They're weaker than the demons on the first layer? What's the reason for that?"
Why was the first layer cannon fodder, but the second layer even weaker than the first? It felt a bit strange.
Xian'er explained:
"That's because the main task of the demons on the second layer is to create nests and enhance the demons' abilities."
"Oh, I see!" Xiao Mo finally understood the reason; it was because of this.
The demons on the second layer had the ability to provide buffs, so they were protected by the demons on the first layer.
Xian'er went on: "The demons on the third layer are of the highest bloodline, the most powerful, and they control the central area of all the demons."
At this moment, Xiao Mo became doubtful again. "The demons on the third layer control the central area, so what about the fourth layer..."
At this point, Xiao Mo paused, and then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he instantly understood why.
He exclaimed in realization, "The fourth layer is the heart of the earth?!"
Xian'er looked at Xiao Mo with great admiration and praised:
"My Lord is wise. Indeed, it is so. The fourth layer is that most important heart of the earth."
"The reason the demons of noble bloodline have stationed their lair there is to cultivate more demonic energy and pollute the heart of the earth as quickly as possible."
"Once the heart of the earth is completely contaminated by demonic energy, the world's laws will eventually collapse, and this world will completely become their stronghold."
"At that time, they will be able to break through the barrier between the two worlds and arrive at the Origin World without using spatial teleportation arrays!"
Upon saying this, Xian'er paused, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and then she said:
"However, the reason those demons cannot enter the fourth layer is not because it's impossible to enter, but because there are other creatures there."
"You mean to say that there are other beings in the fourth layer?"
Xiao Mo looked extremely surprised. He had always thought that this world had already been occupied by demons, but he didn't expect that there were still other beings in the fourth layer desperately holding on.
However, it made sense. If it weren't for the defense of these beings, the world's laws would have been polluted long ago with so many demons lurking here.
Xian'er nodded, then showed a worried expression.
"However, the aura of the beings in the center of the underground is already very weak and continues to diminish. It's estimated that they will all die before long."
"It seems the situation is very urgent now!"
Xiao Mo greatly admired the beings underground. He did not want them to hold their land until their final moments, only to fail just before his arrival.
If so, they would die in vain. Did they know that their group of lords had arrived precisely to eliminate these demons and save this alien world?
