Chapter 189

Ye Bai looked around, but could not see a single person among the ruins. He had no idea where this ethereal song came from.

However, the moment she heard the content, she recalled the second time she came to the divine realm to look for cultists entering purgatory. When she found human habitation, she met the old man in a group of scattered shanties.

In the end, the other party shouted out an unclear song in madness, and it turned out that what was in front of him was the complete content.

Conquest, curse, true name... Is the king in the ballad referring to the God-King?

The King’s curse will never disappear. Does it mean that the God-King released the curse, or that the God-King encountered the curse?

It seems that both speculations make sense, because the Purgatory Demon can be confirmed through the memory of the Elf Queen. He was sealed by the God King after invading the Emerald Forest, and the cursed chain attached to it was seen by Ye Bai with his own eyes.

The second guess is very consistent with the paper man who is cursed and whose only goal is to open the treasure house of the God King.

He knew the entire quest line of the God King's Treasury too well. None of the processes seemed to be "cracked", but rather like a backup plan that had been arranged long ago. This could be seen from the Elf Queen's reaction. If they really wanted to invade the Treasury, the situation should be similar to that of the Lich King.

However, there are still many contradictions in the details of the information left by the God-King. For example, the most crucial point is that this ballad about the God-King can still be circulated in the God Realm - the Elf Queen said that the God-King suffered a great annihilation, so in theory, this ballad about Him should be like the empty throne in front, and should not be preserved.

However, these answers will be revealed once Ye Bai enters the treasure house.

The next moment, the branch of life with only the trunk remaining in Ye Bai's hand flew out automatically and flew towards the center of the square. In front of the throne, a familiar portal emerged from nothingness. The door was distorted and chaotic. No one knew what was inside or where it led to.

This gate is the one that appeared after the passage was opened before, but it is no longer out of reach, but really exists in this space.

It turns out that the treasure house is not hidden in the real royal city, but one needs to go through the historical corridor and come to this royal city of the past to truly enter it.

As the 'key' flew out, Ye Bai felt her whole body relax, and an invisible passage vaguely appeared in front of her. She felt that she was no longer restricted to choosing history as before, but could now move freely in this past space.

“It’s right here!”

As soon as Ye Bai took the scroll out of his backpack, he heard the paper man's uncontrollable excited voice.

"Ahhh!"

Even Ottophis, who was standing next to him and looking at the door in front of him, actually called out at this moment, and eagerly pulled Ye Bai's cloak, motioning her to go in.

This scene surprised Ye Bai. She had always thought that the God King's treasure house was what the paper man cared about most, and Ottophis did not show any special reaction. She did not expect that it actually cared about this matter too.

Considering how Ottoface and the paper man behaved when they first met, it seems like there's some kind of tacit understanding between them...

Thoughts were running rampant in her mind, but in reality, thinking that there was a Lich King behind her who would definitely catch up, Ye Bai did not delay at all. With an inexplicable nervousness that the answer was about to be revealed, she quickly rushed towards the treasure house door in front of her.

At this critical moment, people always worry about what accidents might happen.

As expected, an accident happened.

Just when Ye Bai was less than five meters away from the mysterious portal...

Light.

It seemed as if endless light appeared in front of Ye Bai's eyes, filling Ye Bai's vision.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the originally complete world before my eyes was torn apart like a canvas by the sudden strong light.

From the initial ethnic mutation to the subsequent impact on various ethnic groups, an all-out war began to sweep across the entire continent of the gods, forming an epic filled with war and destruction.

At this historic moment, in the residence of the Supreme Governor of the Principality of Gaowa, Governor Rory, who was sitting at his desk looking at the strategic map, suddenly trembled all over.

The dark brown eyes of this person, who is recognized by the human race as the strongest awakener of the light bloodline, suddenly changed, and two clusters of pale flames suddenly danced in his pupils.

The next moment, his temperament inexplicably changed drastically, becoming gloomy and resentful, accompanied by an inescapable smell of decay.

"Hehe, the Corridor of History... As a witness to history, once I enter here, I will be confined to my past self. Is this your backup plan?"

Rory's mouth twitched as he made a sound, opening and closing unnaturally as if he couldn't control it, and in the process gradually became smoother from stiffness.

Then, the expression of this Archon, who was revered as Saint Lori in the history of the human race in later generations, suddenly changed and he looked at the giant sword hanging on the side wall.

The giant sword looked heavy and majestic, without many patterns or decorations on it, but at first glance it made people inexplicably associate it with many meanings: supremacy, holiness, purification, judgment...

At the overlapping position of the giant swords, there was a figure wearing light armor floating in the air. It was Kodos who was brought into the passage by the Lich King before.

"Ancestor..."

When the person behind the desk looked over at him, Kodos suddenly realized who was in front of him.

He had seen the person in front of him many times in portraits. He was the first owner of Saint Rori Castle, the ancestor of Kodos before he became the Lich King, and the last supreme executive of the Principality of Gaowa, Rori.

Before, Koddos and the Lich King traveled through the corridors of history together and witnessed the history of many ethnic groups, but he had always followed each other as a bystander. But now, he realized that as a person who once existed in this period of history, his ancestor from the future was no longer a bystander, but had become Rory in this world.

In other words, due to some rules of the Corridor of History, the Lich King was temporarily trapped in the body of Archon Rory.

But as Rory's burning gaze fell on him, Kodos subconsciously lowered his head to look at himself at this moment.

The next moment, Kodos' pupils dilated and he fell into a state of shock unprecedented in his life.

I, who should have had nothing to do with this past history, am no longer a bystander. Instead, like my ancestors, I am trapped in a "body" belonging to this era.

But Kodos's body in this era is a giant sword.

"The Holy Artifact of Light combined with flesh and blood magic condensed the power of hundreds of generations of awakened Light-Awakeners... When you cursed me and transformed me into the undead who feared the power of light the most, you never imagined that one day I would be able to pick it up in this way—"

"Hanging sword, cut it off here!"

“Ah ...

Following Rory's order, all of Kodos's existence was condensed, and in the endless light, he let out the last silent scream of his life.

Afterwards, the bright bloodline of the Rory family that had been contained in Kodos' body since birth, the power activated by his own training for many years, and the power absorbed from other colleagues before, were all sublimated and integrated at this time, and merged into this mythical giant sword.

The next moment, this seemingly simple and steady giant sword, obeying its master's command, burst into pure and absolute light... No, it should be said that it itself is the light.

The law of light occupied the entire historical world, and with the most penetrating power, it slashed into the corridor of history.

“Bang, bang…bang!”

Under the sweeping light, Ye Bai heard the sound of something collapsing and breaking.

Just like the dream of the Emerald Forest collapsed, the basic rules of the past space in front of him were also being destroyed by the light.

Ye Bai rode on Ottophis, and was swiftly moved left and right by it. Even though he had avoided a lot of damage, he still had to upgrade in time and withstand the damage from the light itself.

"This power comes from the artifact..."

The paper man recognized the source of the power.

"It's the artifact of the Law of Light." Ye Bai also reacted.

The power of light can cause such damage to her with scattered attacks, and combined with the human race traveling with the Lich King, the answer is naturally not difficult to guess.

"Ahhh!"

Ottophis cried out, and its gaze passed through the space torn apart by the law of light and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the entire space was torn apart by the power of light. The world before their eyes looked like a complete painting torn into several pieces. Between the part where Ye Bai was and the area where the final treasure house portal was located was the power of the law of light that was most repellent to other forces. It was a piece of pure white that they, as the "people in the painting", could not cross at this moment.

Various methods of crossing the time limit quickly flashed through Ye Bai's mind, such as using the breakpoints of time to jump, using the shadow steps... but he found that none of them worked.

"Oh……"

At this moment, accompanied by a cold snort, a chilling breath came.

In the largest shattered space where he was standing, Ye Bai saw a thick black shadow rapidly spreading from afar to near.

The Lich King is coming!

Ye Bai quickly switched to the Code of Death, and the next moment two clusters of soul flames lit up in his eyes, and he turned into the Undead Lord.

However, Ye Bai's level is two levels lower than the god-level Lich King, and this monarch effect cannot force the other party to give orders, otherwise she would have used it as early as when they first met.

"-50, -50..."

As soon as he transformed, Ye Bai suffered damage from the surrounding environment. Among all the laws, light magic is the most restraining against undead magic, and this place is full of the power of the law of light.

Taking the damage, Ye Bai threw a death ray at the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the Lich King did not dodge or evade, but directly took on this high-level undead magic head-on, without even causing any damage.

After this encounter, Ye Bai knew that the opponent's immunity level to undead magic had reached a high level. The legendary magic of Skeleton Realm might be of some use, but not much.

As for Petrifying Gaze and Sky-shattering Tide... The Lich King is now in an incorporeal form, and is not surrounded by an ocean environment, so he cannot effectively defeat the enemy.

Tricky!

Ye Bai is a third-level professional holding an undead artifact, while the opponent is a real god-level lich, and most of his strongest methods are immune to the opponent.

No wonder the Lich King coveted the Code of Death in her hand so much. Ye Bai didn't even dare to imagine how powerful he would be if he were a god-level lich and obtained the Code of Death.

"Don't worry about him, let's go first!"

At this moment, Ye Bai heard the paper man's labored and hurried voice.

At the same time, before Ye Bai could react to what the paper man meant, Ottophis under her had already moved, taking her and jumping into the pure white light in front.

"What?!"

Ye Bai was caught off guard, and his pupils suddenly shrank after seeing the scene in front of him clearly.

In a land of light that could not be set foot on, Ottophis landed his four hooves on a line that kept appearing and disappearing.

The lines are like temporary graffiti on white paper, appearing quickly and being "erased" just as quickly.

These lines... are made of paper people?

Ottophis didn't know how his hooves grew, but he stepped on the line that appeared briefly, and rushed towards the space opposite which contained the gate with Ye Bai without stopping!

Ye Bai could only hug Ottophis's neck in amazement - there was such a thing!
