Chapter 630 -421 Preparation Before Action_2
After a moment of silence, Chen Lun opened the last diary that Mr. Bales had left for him.
“This is the record of Mr. Bales’s journey to the Dark World, originally intended to consolidate the mythical power of the Saint… it may help me in my next actions,” he thought.
He had only skimmed the diary before, roughly knowing it contained some descriptions of the environment in the Dark World.
A moment later.
Chen Lun stopped on one of the pages, his brows slightly furrowed.
“Almost completely devoid of light, the environment is extremely harsh, and it’s filled with countless hybrid insect-contaminated creatures…”

He remembered his own experience in the Immortal Realm, at the very edge of darkness, which was just as described in the diary. The creatures he had encountered were powerful Insect People, offspring of an Ancient God named Didak.
As he read on, his shock deepened.
“The Dark World is also divided into several spatial layers. Mr. Bales found a massive door, a marvel, that led to deeper spaces… The deeper he went, the stronger the contamination and the more ferocious the monsters became, and ancient relics from the Ancient Era were also visible there.”
Chen Lun looked at the diary, Mr. Bales had indicated that he only explored up to the fourth layer of space in the Dark World and did not know how deep it actually was. But Chen Lun knew it ultimately led to the very end of darkness, the region where Arno was.
However, the real end of darkness was not like the replica in the Immortal Realm… Arno had told him that perhaps the true him had already died at the end of darkness.
“There’s also the Underworld that Mr. Bales mentioned in the diary, somewhere in the Dark World, a special area from where one could return directly to the present world, but it leads underground of the continent…”
Chen Lun flipped to the last page of the diary, and was surprised to find that Mr. Bales had encountered living humans in the Underworld, people with whom one could communicate normally!
But the following content was blank, as if Mr. Bales had not had time to write it down…
‘It seems that Mr. Bales, upon hearing the news of his arch-enemy Terence, hurried back to the present world to embark on his revenge plan, leaving the diary incomplete,’ thought Chen Lun.
‘But this information has already been of great help to me…’

The next morning.
After washing up and having breakfast, Chen Lun had Golov drive him in the carriage to the headquarters building of the Imperial Judiciary.
This place was not far from the Sun Palace, located near the long steps, right next to the headquarters building of the Shelter. Both buildings were symmetrically placed, surrounded by tall walls, invisible to ordinary people.
This place was also a crucial official site, and any resident coming within a hundred meters would be driven away by patrolling guards.
Golov showed his identity card to the guard and they reached the Judiciary building without any obstruction.
“You can go back, no need to wait for me,” Chen Lun instructed Golov.
“Yes, Leader,” Golov saluted and then agilely leaped back into the carriage, calling to the horses and turning the carriage around to leave.
Chen Lun turned around and walked through the main entrance.
The ground floor of the Judiciary building was somewhat similar to a bank, except for rows of seats, there were service windows separated by glass. Chen Lun didn’t stay here and directly went up to the third floor, where the senior offices were.
As soon as he arrived, he saw some members of the Imperial Judiciary sitting in the corner of a spacious lobby resting area, sitting on sofas, drinking coffee and tea, casually chatting. His own first team squadron had already arrived early, sitting around a coffee table.
The squad consisted of seven members, four men and three women, all Sequence Five Transcendents.
When they saw Chen Lun approaching, one of the young men greeted him with a smile:
“Captain Jack, good morning.”
“Good morning, Lane,” Chen Lun nodded slightly in response.
His superiors, McCollin, had already shown him the files of these members, and the young man named Lane was easy to get along with, had a mild temperament, and was quite capable, having spent a few years in the Executioner squad.
“Jack, being late as a captain isn’t really acceptable, you know? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” another middle-aged man spoke softly.
“Madison, this really isn’t a big deal, no need to fuss,” Lane smiled and waved his hand, trying to ease the tension.
Chen Lun glanced at Madison, knowing this man was quite opposed to his leadership, and his attitude was similar to another man and woman in the team, Rocky and Meris, the three seemed to form a small group.
“There was no specific time discussed for yesterday’s appointment, so there’s no issue of being late, but since everyone arrived before me, I admit, I was a bit lax, my apologies,” Chen Lun said with a light chuckle.
Madison was about to say something when Chen Lun raised his hand first.
“I’ll go talk to the receptionist soon, leave a backup of the mission, and also pick up some equipment for the trip… If you need anything, take advantage of now to prepare, and then we’ll have a brief meeting.”
“Alright, Captain,” Lane and another female member nodded their heads and stood up, heading towards a service window, seemingly to request the exchange of some equipment.
The remaining five people still sat on the sofas.
“Captain, I don’t need to prepare anything,”
