Legend has it that there is no end to the endless sea.
At the end of the world, there is a field full of black rocks.
Black is always associated with something ominous.
The endless sea is not endless.
But at the end is a forbidden place where no one dares to set foot.
Because here, there is a towering dark dead tree.
If Lu Mingfei and others were here, they would definitely feel very familiar with this dead tree, because it is the same as the half-decayed World Tree on their school emblem.
The answer is almost there.
Naturally, the only one who is qualified to live here is the dark monarch.
In this world, this is an existence that even cultivators have to look up to.
Because he is the closest thing to an 'immortal' since the path to immortality was cut off, he is hailed as a 'god' by his tribe.
He has many names.
The Supreme, the King of Darkness, the Black King.
Yes, he is Nidhogg!
"He...entered the city."
A majestic voice sounded from the dim royal palace.
"Yeah, we've still come this far."
It seems that the Black King is not alone in this royal city.
To be precise, there is no Black King among the people talking at this moment.
They are the monarchs who gathered here after feeling that the world was about to undergo a change. Moreover, even they were not present in person, but appeared here through some secret technique to hold a meeting.
"Where's God?"
someone asked.
"Still sleeping. God will not wake up easily until then. This world cannot bear his power."
Someone answered.
The god mentioned in their conversation is naturally the Black King Nidhogg. Considering that the world cannot bear his power, it can be judged that the Black King may have had power beyond this world, and 'at that time' refers to It's about the time when 'Xian Road' is restarted.
"Soon, that time will come sooner or later."
"Yes, from the moment he set foot in that city, the gears of fate have started turning. The chess game has begun, and now we are all the pawns on the chessboard who have no choice but to be on it."
"It's time to make a choice," someone said.
Hearing this, someone just asked: "Choice? Besides fighting for God, what other choice do we have? Do you want...to betray?"
"Be careful, this is the royal city."
Someone stopped the conversation between the two.
If the gods knew that they were talking about this kind of thing openly in the royal palace, they would probably be furious, right?
But alas, God seems to be in a deep sleep.
As they say, there will be no waking up until 'that time'.
"Okay, okay~"
"So... what should we do now? We have to do something, right? Should we just sit back and do nothing?"
"What are you doing... Do you really want to start a war between gods again, go to a higher level, and pick those illusory stars?"
"..."
There was silence.
They all understood what the ethereal stars represented.
Only true immortals are qualified to hold the sun and moon and pick the stars.
But the last divine war prevented them from making such a choice easily.
After finally surviving that terrible divine battle, who would want to experience the feeling of wandering between life and death again?
"There is no need to discuss it... I think this is not something that we can control at all."
Someone sighed.
"Yes, instead of worrying about this, it's better to think about how to face it when the time comes."
"Yes, we do need to make some preparations."
"Then... do you want to send someone to Fulong City?"
"No need, there are many people who are more anxious than us. We are not the only ones who are afraid of that person..."
"That's right, let's just wait with peace of mind. His entry into the city is just the beginning. When he looks down at God, that's when we really enter the game."
············
"Well……"
Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples and slowly woke up from his dream.
He dreamed of Lu Mingze.
The boy kept telling him, 'The time has come' and 'Come quickly', which made him confused.
Because he didn't even understand why he fainted.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that in order to counter the power of King Bai's law, I buffed the two senior brothers and because King Bai's mental power kept suppressing them, they fainted as soon as they relaxed.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked around.
I found myself lying in a strange room. It must have been the room arranged by Angers, or a single room. The treatment was quite good.
He got up from the bed, shook his groggy head, and opened the door.
Outside the door is a courtyard.
At this moment, three people were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and basking in the sun.
"you're awake?"
Sun Haoran didn't look back and asked while drinking tea.
Chu Zihang and Caesar on the side also sensed Lu Mingfei's appearance and greeted him with a smile, beckoning him to come over quickly.
"Is this... so leisurely? Why do I feel like I'm not used to it?"
Lu Mingfei came to the tea table and sat down with some hesitation.
He had forgotten the last time he was so free.
After coming to this world, they had a troublesome journey all the way to Fulong City. They didn't rest when they arrived at Fulong City because they realized that their strength was too weak. They didn't know when they would GG if they continued, so they started again. Break into the White Tower.
Both the time in Fulong City and the time flow rate in the White Tower are completely different from the outside world.
His sense of time was completely confused, and he even forgot how much time had passed.
"Why, do you want to go see the Dragon King and try his sword right after you get out of seclusion? I don't mind."
Listening to Lu Mingfei's words, Sun Haoran rolled his eyes and asked teasingly.
Lu Mingfei felt ashamed when he heard this: "Well... let's forget it..."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that they really have nothing to do now.
After all, I have no idea how to return to the original world.
"Enjoy your leisure time, we will leave here soon."
Caesar also smiled and joked.
"Yeah." Chu Zihang just nodded.
"Um...how long have I been sleeping? You didn't discuss anything while I was sleeping, right?" Lu Mingfei was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Clever." Caesar praised.
"One week." Chu Zihang answered his question, "We compiled the information while you were unconscious and thought about how to return to the original world."
"So... what was the result of the discussion?" Lu Mingfei asked with a twitching corner of his mouth. Because he heard Caesar just say that they would leave here soon.
"We won't repeat the process. In short, the result is that we have to meet the Black King of this world." Caesar chuckled.
"Holy shit!"
Lu Mingfei felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, "Brothers, have you made a mistake? We were just taught a lesson by King Bai!"
"Wait a minute, it's you who are being taught a lesson, not me." Sun Haoran raised his hand.
"Did you hear that? You have a big boss flying with you, are you scared?" Caesar shrugged slightly, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"..."
Lu Mingfei was speechless for a while.
Caesar, you have changed. You were not like this before. You now look like a golden retriever.
Oh...well, it seems like it was the same before.
After recalling Caesar's appearance in front of Nono, Lu Mingfei automatically made up a picture of a young lady walking in a park with her golden retriever, and it suddenly seemed reasonable.
Ruined.
Lu Mingfei felt as if they were hopeless.
Because after listening to Caesar's words, he actually felt inexplicably at ease.
Depend on.
Didn't you agree in the tower before that you would become stronger and surpass Sun Haoran? Two senior brothers, why have you surrendered? ?
"So...whose idea was this?"
Asking this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look at Sun Haoran.
There is no doubt that this man must be the one who asked for a solution from the Black King.
"Don't look at me, it's really not me this time."
Sun Haoran shook his head innocently, "It's that guy Anger. He said that this is the only way to lure that guy Lu Mingze out."
"Wait...what is this?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.
"Let me explain."
Chu Zihang said calmly.
After several days of communication, he and Caesar had roughly learned from Sun Haoran the culprit who sent them to this world. After all, as people who were involved in this world, they had the right to know.
However, Sun Haoran did not explain to them what kind of existence Lu Mingze was. He just asked them to understand him as a mysterious guy with great powers who liked to play pranks and had his eye on Lu Mingfei.
"First of all, we were sent to a certain period of history by Lu Mingze."
"I know that..." Lu Mingfei nodded slightly.
Speaking of which, he felt a little sorry for the two senior brothers, because Lu Mingze was targeting him and Sun Haoran, and he did not expect that the other two people would be involved.
I don’t know what kind of script this guy is writing.
"Secondly. In this period of history, immortal cultivators did exist, but the immortal cultivators in this world can only cultivate to the stage of transcending tribulation, and the path to immortality was cut off for some reason."
Chu Zihang glanced at Sun Haoran and continued to explain.
These are the conclusions they drew based on Ange's rhetoric in the past few days and the soft intelligence Sun Haoran learned.
"According to Ange, Lu Mingze was being watched by the Black King, so he chose to hide. And if we want Lu Mingze to show up, the best way is to attract the Black King's attention."
"How to attract him?" Lu Mingfei was confused, "Is it possible that we really want to fight with him?"
As he said that, he looked at Sun Haoran: "Boss, are you sure?"
"No."
Sun Haoran shook his head slightly.
If the White King was not in a state of no self-will, he felt that it would be very difficult for him to deal with it, let alone the Black King who was said to be more powerful than the White King.
He is indeed confident in his own strength, but he is not blindly confident.
In the past few days, he had also asked Angers about where there might be a 'source of truth', thinking about whether he could improve his cultivation level, but unfortunately Angers didn't know what he was referring to.
So I could only give up on it.
In other words, his realm is probably stuck in the foundation building stage, and it is unrealistic to improve his strength by improving his realm.
But even if he only has the foundation building stage, he is confident that he will not lose to the strong man at the peak of the tribulation stage in this world, and with the blessing of the law of power, plus Lu Mingfei's law of life, they will definitely have no problem in protecting themselves when they encounter the Black King. of.
So you can think about leaving this world.
"In fact, attracting the Black King's attention does not require us to face the Black King directly."
"How do you say that?" Lu Mingfei became even more confused.
"Do you know where the Black King is at this moment?" Sun Haoran asked.
"How did I know..." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.
"world Tree."
Caesar replied.
"World Tree? Holy crap! Is there really a World Tree in this world?"
Lu Mingfei was surprised when he heard this, but soon fell into doubt again, "But does this have anything to do with what we are discussing now?"
"Yes." Sun Haoran replied, "According to Ange, the World Tree is the foundation of this world. It was originally connected with the immortal path that countless people long for."
"original?"
"Yes, but now it has withered." Chu Zihang added.
"No...it's only half withered, right?" The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.
"Clever~" Caesar praised again, "There may be some deviations from the history in school textbooks. The withering of the World Tree actually has nothing to do with the Black King, and it is entrenched in the World Tree not to gnaw at it. According to the words here Hot's statement... is exactly the opposite, it is protecting the World Tree and preventing it from withering completely."
"Why...oh! That's it." Lu Mingfei seemed to understand, "The Black King wants to become an immortal?"
"Nonsense. Who in this world doesn't want to become an immortal?" Caesar spread his hands, "In short, the matter is probably as you understand it. Now the focus of the problem has shifted from the Black King to the World Tree."
"In other words, we don't actually have to face the Black King directly. If we want to attract its attention, we can start with the World Tree." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.
"Wait... you... aren't going to... destroy the world, are you?"
Lu Mingfei asked this question a little confused.
When he saw the curves appearing on the faces of Caesar and Sun Haoran, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.
Well, Chu Zihang seemed to agree with this plan, but he didn't laugh like the other two.
Lu Mingfei was speechless for a while.
"In short, as long as we attack the World Tree, whether it results in the complete severance of the Immortal Road or the real destruction of the world, we can attract the attention of the Black King. Then Lu Mingze will have a chance to show up." Sun Haoran took it for granted. said.
"Yes, this is the best way." Caesar smiled.
"What's so good about it?" Lu Mingfei couldn't understand.
"Fortunately, this world itself is just a projection of the past," Chu Zihang explained seriously, "The trajectory of history will not change because of what we do here, so..."
"Even if the world is really destroyed, it doesn't matter?" Lu Mingfei covered his face and looked at the three people in front of him through his fingers with an expression that looked like a lunatic.
These guys... are more dangerous than the lunatics in the equipment department.
"Looking at the bright side, maybe this is the original trajectory of the world?"
Sun Haoran chuckled, "Think about it, has our spiritual power been exhausted in our era? This means that the World Tree has indeed experienced something and become weaker. Since it is inevitable to escape, why can't the people who caused all this cannot Is it us?"
"Ah this...6."
Lu Mingfei walked alone amidst the laughter and laughter, and was speechless for a moment.
