Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are neighbors, childhood friends, and classmates, but most importantly, they are sworn enemies who have been bickering since they could crawl. They both transmigrated into a...
Chapter 94 Two Updates Combined into One "Perhaps we will lose the new Lord of the Abyss..."
Xia Xifeng is a favored one of the gods who deliberately mocks the god of self.
Abyssal demons always like to take advantage of others. He started by taunting them, showing that he knew them well and didn't expect anything from them.
He also deliberately angered the God of Self.
The character of the God of Self should be that of a large-scale demon of the abyss, who is extremely arrogant and selfish.
Although protecting the Abyss was also His selfish choice, He certainly did not like others describing Him as a kind saint.
That's an insult! An insult!
Xia Xifeng just insulted Him, so what?
No matter who it is, their reputation after death is left to the living to smear. Not only is he spreading rumors now, but he will also publish "Memoirs of the God of Self" in the future, fabricating more saintly deeds for this God of Self.
He wanted to let everyone in the future know that this generation's God of Self was a kind saint who was betrayed and hurt by the demons of the abyss, and yet he sacrificed himself for the benefit of the abyss.
Look! Even His favored ones betrayed Him! What a pitiful God! ~
"Rosa, take me to visit the bedroom of the previous generation of vampire ancestor. I want to see if she left behind anything related to the evil god. You can come with us and learn more about the evil god." Xia Xifeng said.
After learning that the God of Self had secretly swallowed an Outer God, Xia Xifeng suspected that although the Blood Clan's True Ancestor "Nightingale" must have betrayed her god according to her own will, the God of Self should have also condoned "Nightingale's" behavior.
Who knows, the God of Self might even add fuel to the fire in order to paralyze the outer Gods.
This is a double betrayal by the gods and those favored by them.
But no matter what the truth is, Xia Xifeng will nail the god of himself to the cross of "poor little thing".
The God of Self faced his demise with a smile. They killed the God of Self in accordance with his wishes, which did not make them feel relieved at all and only made them feel more suffocated.
Xia Xifeng thought of Qin Lang's miserable appearance in the crystal wall. At the very least, he had to mentally hurt the God of Self before he died.
Although Xia Xifeng asked Rousa to lead the way, the destination was actually very clear.
Ever since he equipped himself with the divine power, the fog of the abyss map has been completely cleared, and the system map, except for the blackened areas, is extremely detailed.
The black areas on the map were probably where the Outer Gods controlled them. He only needed to go to the black areas.
There is such a blackened area in the Vampire Palace.
Rousa quickly caught up with Xia Xifeng.
He was crowned by Xia Xifeng. Even though he still only recognized his former self as the Lord in his heart, his position was inherently bound to Xia Xifeng, and of course he had to follow Xia Xifeng's pace.
The other five demon kings had just been ridiculed by Xia Xifeng and were feeling anxious.
Insisting on oneself is not necessarily bad, and dedicating one's loyalty to the gods is also a personal choice. Because "self" is the greatest persistence from the heart, the Abyss Demon will become the most paranoid when there is something he is obsessed with.
In other words, those favored by the God of Self should all be fanatical believers.
However, the gods haven't descended to the world for a long time, and the God of Self, the Lord of the Abyss, has become a mere symbol to be worshipped. The Abyss Lords have lived too long, and their loyalty has faded with time. Perhaps over the course of time, they've developed other attachments, and faith is no longer an option for them.
But, haven’t they betrayed me yet?
They didn't betray, so why should they be represented by that traitor?!
Abyssal demons hate it most when others deny their true nature, their persistence, and their paranoia. You are provoking!
However, Xia Xifeng was provocative.
He's invincible in the Abyss anyway. Not convinced? Come and test his invincibility.
Xia Xifeng walked in front, and the demon kings of the abyss followed behind. Their gazes seemed to want to pierce five holes in his back.
Rosa was stuck in the middle and was overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere soon disappeared.
Xia Xifeng came to the blackened area on the map.
The system marked that there was a door here, but he couldn't see it.
Xia Xifeng thought for a moment and took out the Sun Badge. The Sun Badge flipped over, revealing a silver moon imprint.
When he obtains the Sun Fragment and the Moon Fragment, the Sun and Moon Fragments fuse together to form the Sun and Moon Badge. The fused Badge can be disassembled into Sun and Moon Fragments, or it can be transformed into Sun and Moon Badges individually.
The Sun and Moon Badges open the copy. If you want to extract divine crafting materials, it is better to disassemble the Sun and Moon fragments.
After the sun's condition improves, the divinity must be molded into a sacred artifact, and the sun and moon badges must be disassembled first, otherwise the powers of the sun and moon will interfere with each other.
"Nightingale" follows the Blood Moon and does things. The Blood Moon wants to devour the Silver Moon, and similarly, the Silver Moon can also devour the Blood Moon.
The moon fragments glowed in Xia Xifeng's hands, and the moonlight turned into a dagger.
Xia Xifeng, holding the Silver Moon Dagger, slashed the seemingly flawless wall. Black mud, filled with an unpleasant aura, oozed out from the scratch.
The six demon kings all took a step back. The black mud gave them a very dangerous feeling.
They had lived for a long time and had seen many evil gods, but none of them had ever made them feel so dangerous.
The moonlight stuck to the black mud, separating it like a curtain.
Xia Xifeng walked into the gap in the curtain.
The six demon kings hesitated for a moment, then followed in despite their instinctive warning. The evil god had declared war on the abyss, and sooner or later they would face his minions. They could not retreat.
Behind the curtain is a staircase leading down.
When Xia Xifeng stepped onto the stairs, candles lit on both sides, illuminating the way ahead.
The stairs were intricately carved with magic circles. When Xia Xifeng stepped onto the magic circle, the moonlight in his hand enveloped him, and the magic circle shattered into pieces, pouring out the same black mud that had pierced the wall with moonlight.
Rosa frowned.
Blood races all love cleanliness. How could our ancestors tolerate such filth and stench?
The other demon kings also knew the character of the blood clan and could not believe that this was the place where the blood clan's true ancestor would come.
As Xia Xifeng walked along, the black areas on the system decreased, and the underground structure appeared on the map.
The structure under the stairs is not complicated. There is only a large room under the stairs.
Xia Xifeng came to the underground room. The underground room was like a large palace, with luxurious bedroom furniture and a large bathtub.
Next to the bath, there are many transparent cylinders.
In the strange space at the bottom of the Silver Moon Church that Leo and Pereira photographed for Xia Xifeng, there was such a transparent cylinder, which contained people who had been liberated by Leo and Pereira and were qualified to become Silver Moon followers.
The transparent cylinders here also contained people. Most of them had Abyssal traits, with the most common being vampires and infernal demons.
Unlike the imprisoned people photographed by Leo and Pereira, the faces of these people are blurred.
This is strange.
Their facial features are not damaged, but they give people a blurry feeling, as if the "pixels are too low".
When the Lord of Purgatory saw that there was one of his kind in the transparent cylinder, he suddenly turned his head to look at Rosa.
Rosa stared at the transparent cylinder in disbelief: "Brother?!"
Xia Xifeng turned around and looked at Rousa: "Which one?"
Rosa's lips trembled for a long time and she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Rousa's intense agitation, Xia Xifeng said to the other demon kings, "Go and claim them and give me the list."
The Lord of Purgatory pounced on the imprisoned person first.
Just like Leo and Pereira when they first arrived at the bottom of the Silver Moon Church, they were also overcome by despair when they approached the imprisoned people.
However, no matter how weak the person present is, he is still a legendary class and has a high resistance to mental pollution. As long as he does not open his mind to feel despair, he will not be harmed.
Perhaps because she had not yet recovered from her serious injuries and had just been crowned, Rosa suffered the most severe mental erosion.
He walked towards a prisoner, placed his hands against the crystal wall, and wept bitterly. It was obvious that he had a deep affection for the prisoner.
After Xia Xifeng came to the abyss, he has been debugging the communication magic device.
Perhaps stimulated by the desperate memories here, the communication magic device was not debugged successfully. The system has a new function that can pull friends with a favorability of four stars into a special group chat, and the effect is the same as when forming a team.
The maximum level of favorability is five stars. Two stars is a friend, three is a close friend, and only Soul, Pereira, Leo, and Damon have reached four stars. Taylor and Rijo are both three stars, while Singer and Egg, who doesn't seem to have any connection with them, are two stars.
Amuruo's favorability is the strangest, jumping back and forth between three stars and four stars, and no one knows why it is jumping.
Xia Xifeng checked the favorability rules. The favorability of gods cannot be detected, and Qin Lang's favorability is also locked. Don't try to see his mood through the favorability.
I guess it’s the same with Qin Lang.
This is great, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
Xia Xifeng immediately formed a group, first reported safety to Teacher Suer, then asked Perilla and Leo how to save the souls of those sealed by the blood moon.
Soul responded gently, and then the group became chaotic.
Leo created the lively effect of a hundred people by himself and asked a hundred thousand questions.
[Xia Xifeng: Perilla, give him a stick and make him shut up.
Pereira: I already gave it to you. What happened there?
Xia Xifeng: It's a long story. First, let me do you a favor (photo).
Leo: Pereira, you're so ruthless! It's a mess! Wow, exactly like what we saw. Using the power of the Silver Moon and the Sun, Pereira and I shouldered their despair and awakened their sanity. Where are you? Pereira and I are here to help you.
Xia Xifeng: Turn into a mummy again? Forget it, I'll figure it out myself.]
The power of the sun and the moon?
Xia Xifeng looked down at the Silver Moon Dagger in his hand.
Leo and Pereira were still chattering in the group, describing in detail their battle with the Blood Moon.
Damon would pop out from time to time to report on the situation in Hope City, and asked Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang if they could work remotely to help him reduce his workload.
After Xia Xifeng silenced Damon, he continued to think.
The blood moon imprisons death, so can we just ask the God of Death for help in this matter?
After wearing his own divine nature, Xia Xifeng could come and go freely on the map in the abyss that was not blacked out by the system.
After entering here, the blackened map has already lit up. Xia Xifeng left a divine mark on the ground and prepared to go back.
"Don't touch the imprisoned people for now. I'll ask other gods if there is any way to free their souls." Xia Xifeng said.
After Xia Xifeng finished speaking, he activated the teleportation crystal without waiting for others to respond.
Even if Rousa was weaker, the Six Demon Kings were still the top power in the Abyss. Even if there were other pawns of the Outer Gods in the Abyss, they were already prepared and could not fail to protect this place.
Cruel acts of demons are not uncommon, but when these cruel acts are committed against the people they protect, it is not a pleasant experience.
What's more, what is happening in front of us is not only cruel, but also weird.
"Death is inevitable" is one of the core rules of the dream world. Even the most cruel and cunning contracts made by demons cannot prevent the other party from dying. Therefore, demonic contracts involving the exchange of souls are all "equal" contracts that are mutually informed and voluntary. Demons have a strong sense of contract.
Because demons always like to make deals, the God of Self has a very righteous subordinate god, the God of Contract.
I really don’t know whether it is more unbelievable that behind the God of Conspiracy is the God of Wisdom, or it is more unbelievable that behind the God of Contract is the Lord of the Abyss.
The evil god can actually imprison death. The demon kings are knowledgeable and have become suspicious of the nature of the "evil god".
Rosa lowered her head and pressed her forehead against the transparent crystal wall.
The direct descendants of the deceased vampire ancestor are called "vampire princes" within the vampire clan. Rosa is one of the crimson princes.
Because he is a hybrid of a succubus and a vampire, he ranks last among the vampire princes.
In the Abyss, pure-blood princes all follow the side of the vampire ancestor and rarely appear in the world. Those who hold power in the vampire clan are half-blood princes.
The last time Rosa contacted her brother was over a hundred years ago.
Legendary vampires have a long lifespan, and although Rosa missed her brother terribly over the past hundred years, she never imagined that her brother would be killed.
My brother is just serving the ancestor, how could something happen to him?
Rousa remembered that when the ancestor attacked Xia Xifeng, her flesh and blood exploded and became the ancestor's power.
In the eyes of the ancestor, are these bloodline descendants all food?
ha.
"You vampires actually harmed my people. You will pay the price!" said the Lord of Purgatory angrily.
"Is there still internal strife at this time?" Rosa raised her head. He smoothed his white silk gloves, hid the sadness in his eyes, and raised his chin arrogantly.
He had no time to grieve.
All the pure-blood princes were imprisoned by the ancestor, and the blood clan's power was greatly reduced. Even more terrifying, when the ancestor defected to the evil god, countless blood clan members had been sacrificed to the evil god. The blood clan was facing the disaster of genocide.
Even if he betrays his faith, he will still follow the new God of Self and devote all his loyalty in exchange for the protection of the new Lord of the Abyss.
"The vampires have been corrupted by the evil god, suffering heavy losses. But at the same time, we understand the evil god best and harbor the deepest hatred for him." Rosa raised her lips. "The vampires have decided to believe in the new Lord of the Abyss and ally themselves with the followers of the earthly gods. You can try to attack the vampires, but you might lose the new Lord of the Abyss's protection."
The Lord of Purgatory was seething with rage.
Rosa confronted him fearlessly.
Behind Rosa, the faceless blood prince's fingers trembled slightly.
The movement was so slight that it seemed like an illusion.
…
"You're back so soon?" The God of Death was still standing there watching the battle, like a statue.
Xia Xifeng didn't waste any time and showed the God of Death the video of the people imprisoned at the bottom of the vampire palace.
The God of Death frowned, and his stiff statue-like face showed obvious disgust.
Xia Xifeng said, "They are different from those imprisoned underground in the Silver Moon Church. Those imprisoned underground in the Silver Moon Church are already dead, but are imprisoned at the moment before death. Leo and Pereira only let them fight and then face the death that should have happened long ago. Some people here are not dead yet."
In the dream world, all intelligent beings that have not yet ascended to godhood can be called "humans." "Humans" is just one of the races. Demons are naturally considered "humans" as well.
If someone is not dead yet and can overcome despair and does not want to die, Xia Xifeng would like to save him if he can.
"I only know how to kill people, not how to keep them alive," said the God of Death. "Calming souls is the power of the Silver Moon. The Silver Moon has granted you this power, and I will grant you the power to guide souls. First, use the power of the Silver Moon to expel the power of the foreign gods from their souls, and then you can send them to the realm of death."
Xia Xifeng thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible to temporarily separate their souls from their bodies to prevent their bodies from quickly collapsing? Back then, Leo and Pereira took on the despair themselves, preventing the imprisoned people's bodies from immediately collapsing, giving them time to seek revenge."
The God of Death pondered Xia Xifeng's words for a moment, then said, "The God of Self can extract a person's 'self,' which is equivalent to extracting their soul. You can try using your self-divinity. Do you want Him to teach you?"
Xia Xifeng turned his gaze to the battlefield and glanced at Qin Lang's panel again.
Qin Lang and the God of Self were fighting fiercely.
"No, I have an idea. Let me try it myself." Xia Xifeng said, "The most important thing in this matter is the other party's desire to survive. Separating the soul is just a little troublesome. There is no need to waste His time."
The God of Death nodded and turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
Preventing death was a huge matter, and it made Him very angry. But after He entrusted the matter to Xia Xifeng, He actually stopped caring about it.
Xia Xifeng thought the God of Death would say a few more words.
After taking another look at Qin Lang's status bar, he put a defensive buff on Qin Lang's avatar to show that he had come back before teleporting back to the abyss again.
When he returned to the basement again, Xia Xifeng found that the atmosphere was not right and there was a sense of tension.
He thought about it and threw Qin Lang's clone that was attached to his wrist away again.
Qin Lang's clone transformed into a gray figure as usual, following Xia Xifeng as a guard.
"For those who have died, I will send their souls back to their resting place. I will try to save those who are still alive. If they are determined to live, they may survive." Xia Xifeng paused and said, "They may also die. If you know anyone who is still alive and you want to save them, please encourage them more. It may be helpful."
The six demon kings immediately stopped glaring at each other and went to look for those in their own tribe who were still alive.
The vampire ancestor had a huge appetite, and she had captured some people from every tribe.
Rosa said excitedly: "My Lord..."
Xia Xifeng interrupted: "Don't waste time."
Rosa quickly shut up and turned to look at his half-brother, muttering something to himself.
He probed his mental power into the cylinder, intending to share his despair with the people in the cylinder.
Xia Xifeng took a closer look at Rousa's brother.
He saw Rosa's brother's fingers flex and his eyelids twitch.
Well, this one might survive.
He observed the remaining survivors. Most were already consumed with the thought of death, consumed by despair. Although the other five demon kings tried their best to call out to them, they lacked Rosa's close relationship with the people in the column, so their efforts were not very effective.
After Xia Xifeng checked the status of all the imprisoned people, he found that Rousa had withdrawn her mental power from the cylinder and began to call other vampires.
His condition was already not very good, and he even penetrated his mental power into the cylinders of several other vampire princes.
"You have a good relationship with them too?" Xia Xifeng was curious.
Rosa shook her head. "Most of the vampires were destroyed by our ancestors. I want to do my best to save more people. And...and my brother asked me to do it."
"Oh? Is he conscious enough to talk to you?" Xia Xifeng was surprised.
Rosa smiled proudly, surprisingly not looking like a vampire. "Brother is naturally the most powerful."
Xia Xifeng retorted: "You are the most powerful now. You are the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan. He can even call you the Ancestor."
Rosa: “…”
Xia Xifeng walked away slowly.
[Xia Xifeng: It’s so fun to tease the little succubus.]
Pereira: Who are you bullying again?
Leo: Remember to record it!
Damon: Are you sick for silencing me? Believe it or not, I won’t work anymore!
Sur from Green Sand City smiled kindly and kicked Amuruo who was unable to enter the chat group.
Qin Lang glanced at the group chat, and his cold eyes warmed slightly.
Even if the God of Self is stripped of his divinity, he can still sense the great events of the abyss.
He sighed, "The prophet is truly a saint. Aren't you afraid he'll get hurt if he saves an ungrateful person? You don't have to worry about that in the abyss. If anyone doesn't know how to be grateful, you can just kill them. There aren't so many rules on Earth. You should like that."
"I like it very much." Qin Lang agreed.
Although as long as there is no actual harm, Xia Xifeng will not be hurt by the other party's bad attitude.
When Xia Xifeng does good deeds, he is very clear that kindness does not necessarily mean flowers and applause.
It was precisely because of this that he couldn't stand Xia Xifeng's behavior.
This world is really good and very suitable for me.
In the basement of the abyss, Xia Xifeng has already started rescuing people.
The god of death bestowed divinity upon the staff, and the fragments of the silver moon transformed into the gems upon it. Xia Xifeng held the staff in his hand and tapped it lightly against the cylinder containing the deceased prisoner.
The cylinder and the body of the imprisoned person turned into ashes, leaving only a translucent soul floating.
The light of the silver moon covered the soul like a veil, and the soul's distorted expression gradually calmed. Black mud flowed out from the seven orifices of the soul, turned into black smoke and dissipated.
The soul's blurry features became clearer, but its spirit became fainter.
The true ancestor of the blood clan not only devoured flesh and blood, but also consumed a lot of soul power.
However, the rules of death are activated, and even if the soul is broken, it can enter the place of rest and sleep.
It's just that originally they had the possibility to recall their previous life and inherit their previous life's talents in their next life. Now, they can only become mediocre people in their next life.
The purified soul bowed to Xia Xifeng, turned into a ball of light and flew into the staff.
No matter how much the demon kings disapproved of Xia Xifeng, the Lord of the Abyss, they stood solemnly aside at this moment, lowered their heads and bent their waists to Xia Xifeng.
They respected and appreciated the help Xia Xifeng extended.
Rosa, whose face was already pale and she had to use a cane to support herself to stand, looked agitated.
Demons are all selfish, so they hope that the gods they follow will be kind to their followers.
As long as the vampires can show enough loyalty, this young god will definitely protect them!
