The titan slowly disappeared, consumed by the golden flames. King Elbas had achieved something incredible by destroying a divine item while being in the heroic ranks, but Chasing Demon had the last say in the matter.
The flames dispersed and the ashes spread in the dark world to reveal a perfectly intact void. The crack had disappeared. The structure of that separate reality had reformed, and King Elbas didn't manage to cross the liquid blackness before it was too late.
"Quickly!" Elder Julia suddenly shouted as she looked toward Flying Demon. "Freeze his ashes. We might be able to bring him back!"
Her statement didn't reveal that the Hive had secured spots in the Second-life Formation, but the experts from the other organizations still shot suspicious glances at her.
The Hive members didn't answer, and God's Left Hand lowered her head to avoid revealing any clue about their secret cooperation.
The fact that Flying Demon didn't act made Elder Julia understand that her idea wasn't feasible. His reaction forced her to review the situation, and she eventually reached the same conclusion as her panions.
The group was in a separate reality where laws worked differently. The Second-life formation required the connection with the cultivators to be active when they died, and Chasing Demon had turned into ashes while part of his consciousness had fused with the titan.
The journey back to the surface would take them years, especially now that they didn't have a guide. That period was enough to make any connection dissipate unless someone had access to particular methods.
Moreover, Chasing Demon had poured his entire existence in the titan to fuel its abilities. Even if his connection with the formation were still active when they returned to the surface, it would find no cultivator to resurrect.
Chasing Demon was gone, and there was nothing that his panions could do to resurrect him.
Dreaming Demon and Flying Demon neared Elder Julia and placed a hand on her shoulders. They knew her pain far too well. They had both felt the same unwillingness that had filled her mind.
"You know his story," Dreaming Demon said. "Don't you think that he deserves some rest?"
Elder Julia struggled to accept that oute, but she ultimately nodded and lifted her head to look toward Noah.
"Did you really see death?" Elder Julia asked, and Noah could only show her a sad smile as an answer.
"Where is he now?" Elder Julia still asked.
Noah looked toward the void above him as if searching for the rulers of the world. He knew the answer, and he didn't mind giving it to her. "Heaven and Earth collect dead souls from countless worlds. They dismantle and purify them before creating new ones to insert in living beings."
Elder Julia lowered her eyes, but her expression soon relaxed. She accepted that there was nothing in their power to revert that oute. Chasing Demon's soul had probably left that world already.
The other experts didn't investigate the topic discussed at that moment out of respect for the Hive's loss. Still, they didn't forget where they were, and awkward expressions appeared on their faces as they looked around them.
Noah retracted his dark matter as soon as he noticed their gestures. He had kept the dark world active until then, but the fight was over now.
The experts began to look for raw laws when the entirety of the void reappeared in their eyes, but they felt disappointed when they saw only darkness around them.
Noah had absorbed every raw law in the area. He had given the only ones that he had spared to Chasing Demon, so the experts could only venture through the void again if they wanted to find more of them.
During their inspection, they noticed that something was off. The experts had seen Noah killing First Prince and First Princess, but Second Prince was still alive.
Yet, he wasn't anywhere near them, and he didn't even leave a trace to follow. Second Prince had abandoned the battlefield, and his destination was unknown.
Noah and the other cultivators from the Hive remained silent as they reviewed Chasing Demon's last moments in their minds. They didn't seem interested in the void anymore, so the other experts could only exchange glances to understand each other's intentions.
Truth be told, Noah, the Demons, and even Elder Julia had already understood that they couldn't remain inside the void any longer.
The battle against King Elbas had depleted most of their "Breath
