A Void Corridor.
The news of its existence was far more valuable than what was originally taking place in the Blood-Drenched Wilderness. Within a single day, all forces within several hundreds of millions of miles were made aware of it.
Somewhere 300 million or so kilometers from the Blood-Drenched Wilderness was a territory known as the Misty Wildlands. The forces here were far stronger than those in the Blood-Drenched Wilderness. Several 9th Revolution experts headed the top forces, and even a few Demigod Avatars were present.
Demigod Avatars were extremely rare. They were the product of universe denizens observing and deconstructing the Nox technique of Avatar creation and attempting to replicate it.
Sadly, Nox techniques were almost exclusive to the Nox. Those Demigods who'd succeeded in creating Avatars were rarer than colored people at a Klan meeting!
Nevertheless, the strength of forces congregated in the Misty Wildlands was evident. Among these forces, one of the strongest was Arcadia, a small guild consisting of only 20 members.
However, every member was an extreme peak powerhouse, and the weakest was a 4th revolution master.
Currently, in the guild headquarters, a commotion was taking place.
"Void Corridor?! Are you certain?!" A woman shouted unwittingly before covering her mouth.
The girl in front of her nodded her head profusely. "Right! I heard that there was a big war going on and the collision caused a Void Corridor to open! Big sister, are we going over?"
"Go, go! Of course, we'll go! How could we miss such an event?!"
The woman immediately jumped out of her chair and sent a talisman to inform the rest of the guild of her movements.
They would surely catch up to her once they received the transmission.
'To think I'd be lucky enough to experience a Void Corridor in my lifetime.'
The thought she had was shared by countless people, almost everyone who heard the news.
After all, the existence of a Void Corridor was too rare,
It was common knowledge that Eien was a place lacking in opportunities. Due to its closeness to the Abyss, it was impossible for secret realms or other alternate spaces to exist, and it was even less likely for resources to naturally appear in Eien's terrible climate.
Void Corridors were a concept that completely went against this reasoning.
Void Corridors could be considered top 10 on a list of the rarest phenomena in the universe.
In essence, they were secret realms, but in reality, they were far greater than just that.
Void Corridors were strange portals that led to even stranger and more mystical realms completely outside of the universe's jurisdiction. The treasures found within were nonexistent elsewhere, and the opportunities were even greater.
There were even records of Void Corridors opening the way to God-level Inheritances.
The cause behind their existence had yet to be realized after countless years. In the past few hundred thousand years, only 3 Void Corridor openings had been recorded.
It was obvious how important the current opening was.
The two women from Arcadia were both powerful experts, with the stronger of the two being at the 6th revolution, but they were only small characters in the grand scheme of things.
Forces were gathering towards the Blood-Drenched Wilderness at a rapid pace, and the mass migration raised questions in territories further from the source of information, which eventually led to their involvement as well.
Eien's ring spanned the entirety of Grand Heavens Boundary. It was possible to walk its length and make it from Soul World to Hephaestus, one side of the universe to the complete opposite, and back by merely walking forward.
And the forces moving towards the Void Corridor…
…consisted of those from an entire half of this ring.

"Sister, we're finally here! This is the edge of the Blood-Drenched Wilderness!" A feminine voice rang out in the void, followed by the appearance of a mature woman.
She looked in her late 20s with short brown hair and green eyes. Her figure wasn't amazingly proportioned, but she had a toned body that was built from countless years of battle.
The beauty she held was undeniable.
This woman was named Alexandra, a 6th revolution expert from Arcadia.
The woman who traveled with her was her younger sister, Alice, a 5th Revolution master.
Both were several thousand years old already, but it seemed like Alice would never mature. Even after all this time, she still clung to her big sister like a child.
Alexandra smiled wryly as she spread her awareness.
"It looks like we're a bit late."
3 days had passed since the news originally spread. Even with the fastest personal teleportation devices in hand, it still took them this long to arrive.
And now that they had, it was clear that they were many steps too late.
The numbers were easily in the millions. From the most common foot soldier to Eien's top experts, anyone who was close enough to reach this place before 3 days passed was present.
As for the rest, they had no chance at all.
Alexandra's eyes narrowed as she further inspected.
'There are at least 6 Holy Land level influences present, and an even greater number of those that are just below that level. It seems that we won't be lacking extreme peak experts within the rift.'
Her attention shifted past the denizen forces, into the blackness of the Abyss.
'They've arrived too.'
With the number of forces convening in the area, it was impossible for the Nox to not realize the situation, but their response was fast…almost too fast.
'There are several High Commander and Executioner auras in their ranks. If it's a Supreme…then I am not yet qualified to feel their presence. I can only hope that too many haven't appeared.'
Alexandra could sense the chaos that the current event would stir, and her feeling only became stronger as she got closer to the crowd.
With so many Heaven's Army and Nox forces in one place, was peace even an option…?
It was a laughable thought.
Anyone with sense understood that the importance of this Void Corridor didn't merely lie in its benefits.
No, the true importance of this Void Corridor was the "opportunity" it created.
How long had it been since the denizens and Nox met with such gusto?
How long had it been since the two sides clashed without worry about tactics or consequences?
The Void Corridor was a pathway to an unknown land, a land separate from the universe.
It was the perfect location…
For a purge, that is.
The atmosphere alone was enough to prove it. The two sides didn't even need to meet.
Only one would be exiting.
If the other side wasn't completely purged, leaving the y known realm was pointless.
Alexandra and Alice reached the Heaven's Army base camp and walked in, saying their greetings to the familiar experts within.
While Alice trailed off halfway through the walk to take care of her own business, Alexandra continued until she arrived at the largest tent in the vicinity.
Walking in, she was immediately struck by the disorientation of entering a spatial expansion, but it didn't take any time at all for her to readjust with her level.
Finally, her eyes caught sight of what she came for.
The sources of the strongest auras in the camp, the leaders of the strongest forces that'd congregated in the Blood-Drenched Wilderness…
This was where they gathered to discuss their plan on how to proceed.
