Chapter 3561 A New Stage Ruler

Purified beings couldn't enter the palace of light at will. Otherwise, the giant lizard would have already hidden within the palace, when he found he stood no chance to defeat Zen.

The latter had just mastered the Great Sanskrit Light, but he couldn't create the circle of light—now, all he could do was wait for the next best opportunity.

Now that Yan was safe, there was no need for him to stay in the Dark Region.

When the four of them were ready to leave, some of the creatures hiding in the shadows surrounded Zen and knelt before him, kowtowing devoutly.

Otherwise known as the stage rulers, the purified beings had absolute strength, recognized as a spiritual symbol by many creatures.

Once the great lizard passed away, it meant new authority appeared in Stage Fourteen.

For a moment, Zen and the others paused. If they continued moving forward, the white light would annihilate all these creatures from the Dark Region.

"Get up, everyone. You can leave now," Zen simply said.

His words had all the creatures standing up and bowing to him respectfully before retreating in all directions.

But something returned to Zen's mind—he pointed at a one-eyed monster that happened to be nearby.

He had seen the one-eyed monsters in Stage Thirteen—they had even tried to snatch away the Civilization Artifact. They seemed to be widely distributed on the Other Shore, much like the Royal Monkey race.

As it turned out, the one-eyed monster Zen pointed at was the leader of his race.

The appearance of a new stage ruler wasn't something that the races on the Other Shore would be pleased to hear about, but that wasn't something for them to decide. They had to spend some time understanding the temper and preferences of the new stage ruler.

But the last one was ruthless and tyrannical. Because the Royal Monkey race fawned over him for so long, the stage ruler tended to favor them.

For the one-eyed monsters, at least, the shift in power was a good thing.

The leader came forward and cupped his hands toward Zen. "What can I do for you?"

"I have some friends in the Dark Region. Help me take care of them," Zen said flatly.

"

he stage ruler.

"Challenging the stage ruler means courting death…" another respected Insect Master shook his head disapprovingly.

"I'm afraid that the Royal Monkeys will blame our race soon after. We will…"

Mercer and Miller's news put an extremely grim atmosphere over the Insect Masters. They were now all imagining soon being slaughtered by the Royal Monkey race.

Just as the Insect Masters seemed down, a set of noisy footsteps resounded from afar.

Afraid that the Royal Monkey race was approaching, they stared nervously into the distance.

From the darkness, over a dozen figures emerged in succession. They were the one-eyed monsters.

These creatures could fight against the Royal Monkeys head-on. Naturally, the Insect Masters felt far inferior to them. As the two races were far from each other, they never had much interaction.

"Are you Insect Masters?" a one-eyed monster suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Yes!"

several of them answered automatically.

"You don't have to be so courteous," said the monster in a friendly tone. "The new stage ruler asked us to take good care of you. This place is too close to the Royal Monkeys' territory. Please follow us. We must lead you out."

"The new stage ruler?"

"We have a new stage ruler?"

"Who is it?"

All the Insect Masters were completely dumbfounded by the news.

Even Mercer and Miller were stunned. They both had a good guess about who it was.
