The pale yellow fla with the wind Not too far away in the hall, the singing of bards could be heard The wind brings along with it the sweet and fragrant scent of alcohol, the sound of the snoring of drunkards and the sound of chattering This atmosphere really ood place to re out an enchanted gold coin out, it for
Sos had to be accounted for Then, where should I start from?
Then let’s start with the usual bomb, the accursed Chaos and the heartless Order which threw all races and lifeforms into its Eternal War
Just like as said before, this war has no end Then, why does it have no end? Going by logic, a thing like war should stop when both parties suffer losses beyond a certain acceptable range
To explain that, we have to start fro reincarnation
I also mentioned before that every life, after their departure, if they believe in the Gods of Order, their soul would be guided to the Pillar of Heaven and follow it all the way up to the Heavenly Realm where the Gods of Order dwell They would then become a Devotee who serves as a source of faith for the Gods or beco theels
Basically, when you believe in a certain God, you become a member of his Heavenly Realm Devotees are the lowest-tier existence in the Heavenly Realm, their only job is to pray continuously to provide the power of faith of the Gods Then, when a Devotee is unable to provide any more faith, they would be abandoned to send back into the cycle of transration
As for the Chaos faction, it is technically the sa the honor and euide the pure souls into Heaven that is free of worries’, the means of the Chaos Abyss are much h countless di the words of the Order faction, ‘the cursed souls of the sinners will suffer the pain of the corrosion of their souls for eternity’ In reality, the nature of souls tends towards Chaos and any souls that don’t believe in the Gods of Order would fall into the River Styx after their death However, because souls that tend towards chaos are nor the as well
To continue on, the souls of those who died in the Chaos faction would follow the flow of River Styx through countless worlds and dimensions If the soul is attracted by the world’s laws, then it would cli back to life
For example, if they were to climb onto the shore of the main battlefield of the Eternal War, the Ten Thousand Abyss Plains, then, the evolution of the new soul would most probably be a bloodthirsty battle Deefire Scorched Plains full of Black Chaos Inferno, then the new soul would most probably become a fire-elemental Demon and the ter Fire De
Of course, there are also worlds and diood Quite a lot of swindlers, i) reincarnate into the cunning and evil but pro Devils On the other hand, the souls of serial killers, burglars and different type of violent criminals reincarnate into Demons who are said to be the incarnation of Chaos itself
In reality, before cli to shore, the River Styx would have already coration between life and death The Demons and Devils who climb onto shore are a brand-new life which requires the consu The survival of the fittest is the only rule and evolving to becoer before a predator beyond their means appear is their only means of survival
The Demons and Devils who climb up from the River Styx have already lost theiron their empty brain is the primitive consume and evolve Every Demon who have evolved to a certain level would have already consu to the for survival is equal to talking to a cri to beco others is a joy Isn’t that basically denying the value of their entire existence?
Even if the De their true naain the memories when they are a mortal, but they already have an entire new set of values for the world and their previous memories would probably be like how mortals view themselves as the main character of a certain novel or movie It won’t have much of an effect on their personality and the new experience and knowledge could insteadand difficult to deal with
Even the stronger Fire Deon individually, are only a normal member of the Demons A Demon nobility, even if it is the weakest Baron, is still an existence that is able to suppress a Fire Dele hand It is said that their nobility is granted by the Goddess of Chaos and the Chaos Abyss itself For exaher-ranked than a De much but in actuality, it is almost equal to the Godson of the Goddess of Chaos and is an existence equal to the Main God of the Order faction…
Fortunately, the Deth, are unable to head to the Eich continent normally Even if they were to send an incarnation down, it would normally be surrounded and destroyed by the God Envoys and incarnations of the Order Gods
Of course, not every soul that tends towards Chaos would becoe portion of souls would find the unable to climb to shore and only when the River Styx reaches the very end of the Chaos Abyss can they be reincarnated
Alright, since if there is life, there will be death The souls of the dead are constantly reincarnated to become new soldiers for both faction Naturally, the Eternal War would then be never-ending These are all laws of the world, si to rise, the seawater is salty’ kind of coo, a man tried to break this rule
He tried todie and build a country for the dead He tried to ye, yes, the h, since it is a dark history, so I will speak less about it No matter how I try to refute it, Lisa did die from my ars, Bone Dragon Queen GraySin, which is equivalent to dying in my hands I, as at my pinnacle then, couldn’t accept the fact that I accidentally killed one of e the common sense of the world and alter life and death
To theso the act less If I were to want to revive someone, then it must be a revival true to the word
The souls of the dead will lose theirelse in the River Styx But this requires tih the water of River Styx is fatal poison to any life, but for it to take effect swiftly, it must be drunk into the body
So, if I were to use Divination Magic to look for Lisa’s soul and pull her out of River Styx before the its water started taking effect and recreate a physical body for her…
This isn’t a theory that I caes This is because that despite being feasible theoretically, but the River Styx can corrode any soul that it comes into contact with Since it can’t be touched, so how can one pull a soul away from it?
Even the Great Deather the water from River Styx to create medicine dare not touch the River Styx directly They definitely have no wish to start evolving fro into the River Styx is also considered one of the most cruel curses in the world of Demons
However, this concept would have to be corrected River Styx is the river of souls in this world and also the creator of all living beings Indeed, she can make any souls from this world sink within its depths, but what if the soul doesn’t belong to her and comes fron world
Back then, I was also dripping with cold sweat Fortunately, uesses were correct But, reality has also proven that this drop of fortune is the start of greaterthe Order which all of the Gods have acknowledged, you are provoking the dignity of both the Malevolent Gods of Chaos and the Gods of Order!!”
The gigantic dragon’s shock and roar was just besidemy head bitterly
“Yes, now that I recall it, I was rather crazy back then I must really beand the dead Hehe, if it happens once, then it can happen again If the dead aren’t reincarnated successfully, then what can the Order and Chaos continue fighting with? Both parties definitely won’t allowanye mouthful of alcohol
“Who did you meet? The descend of a true God? If it is just an incarnation, then you should be able to escape even if you can’t defeat him”
“Death God Ayer, the very first Undead, the most ancient God”
“Pa da!” The alcohol bottle irance of the alcohol leaks out Ancient Red Dragon Einz Mezus widens herthe alcohol to flow freely down from her mouth That kind of idiotic look is really rarely seen
“Hey hey, ie If this silly look of yours were to be leaked, then hoill you marry in the future?”
I tried to warn her kindly but I ended getting pulled up by her and she stares directly at my eyes
“YOU STOP JOKING In the on Tribe, that man has only made a move thrice and his opponents were all true Gods! Do you think that you are really a? You are only a SemiGod Undead Emperor of recent times, there are much more of those in ancient times You totally lack the qualifications towords coon eyes were filled with disbelief and suspicion
“I A It really is Ayer, the most ancient God The super old senior who once followed the Goddess of Chaos and Goddess of Order, the oldest king of the ancestors of Devils, the Mountainous Huence to all Undead”
“Then why are you still here prancing about? I don’t think that a SemiGod like you would be able to escape from his hands The true Gods who he has set his eyes upon have all fallen and you, who is just a SemiGod Undead Emperor, what do you have for you to still be here”
Reure that represents death itself, the blood rose-colored ring on that pale white finger, I couldn’t help but shi+ver I also felt that it was a rated yet
“…Now that I recall, Death God Ayer never returns the prayers of the undead Perhaps, he is a representation of Death itself Or ation is toas nothing interferes with the River Styx and the souls of Order fro to their Gods, then he would definitely not make a move Back then, I tried to interfere with the River Styx, which was as good as stepping on his boundaries It was really a suicidal ation -> Actually means his job as a God All Gods of Order has a specific role eg Moon Goddess, the Moon would be her Concept of Existence and the Obligation would be everything related to the Moon This word is going to appear quite many times further in the novel
I unconsciously sipped afrustrated at the alcohol dripping down fro my shi+rt I shake my head and smiles helplessly It was my worst defeat in this world
“He only used an incarnation, which only struck once, and hewithfrantically Ever since then, I ter a true God, because he would have to defeat Death God Ayer For countless years, the seat of Death God has never changed, showing that this was an iaret could defeat you back then He had been taking it to heart and he suspects that you secretly went easy on it I never expected that you were badly injured then”
“Hehe, since an Undead E is destined for failure, so why not pass on the glory of defeating the De to my brother However, as my rank dropped frantically, flaws appeared in huess it could be considered the only accident”
“You haven’t told me how you escaped fro why the Undead Empire cannot be built? It is actually pretty simple From Ayer, I found out that the Gods of Order couldn’t possibly allow the undead to replace all of the living If so, the cycle of life and death would be broken An Undead Kingdom which doesn’t extend beyond half of the world is already the limits of what is acceptable to them…”
An irresistible brute force strikes on my brain and Little Red’s word by word question thunders in my eardrum
“I AM ASKING YOU HOW DID YOU ESCAPE FROM AYER? STOP CHANGING THE TOPIC! AND STOP TALKING crap”
The Soulfire in my eye flickers and finally, I helplessly said the truth
“I can’t say it I really am unable to say it This is all for your sake”
The dragon girl’s head tilts and she pouts her uess it all the same even if you don’t say it out loud Itbullshi+t Ayer, who doesn’t belong to any faction of Gods is a well-known rebel He is probably like you, unhappy with the current world, so you ht have conspired soreement, such as to overthrow the current order…Wuuuuuuuu”
The words that come afterwards won’t be said out anyht into herassaulted suddenly, her black eyes were full of rage Then, after seeed into shock before turning into panic and fear
“I, I, I… I couldn’t have hit the jackpot?? Tell me that this isn’t real Lord Ayer, please spareand unwed yet I haven’t raised any sons and I don’t want to be silenced!!!”
