Chapter 576: Digesting the Soul (10,000)

No one can tell whether what Ron said is true or false.

After all, these contents are really too mysterious. Even though a long time has passed, the shock deep in everyone's hearts has shown no signs of subsiding from beginning to end.

But, at least there are some places that everyone at the scene can confirm.

That is, eight thousand years ago, the magic path was flourishing in the Dusk Continent, and there were countless top masters. There were many strong people in the realm of destruction, the realm of demigod, and even the realm of god. Even many beings who could stand shoulder to shoulder with gods could be found.

But eight thousand years later, the legendary realm has become an insurmountable chasm, and cultivation has become increasingly difficult.

Over the past eight thousand years, the corpses of geniuses who died in depression because they were unable to break through that barrier could have piled up into a mountain.

Also, the chain around the neck must not be fake.

There were also various disasters that occurred inexplicably on the Dusk Continent, and they couldn't help but believe it a little bit.

Ron has already told them what conditions are needed to break through the realm of destruction and what to do, which is purely against the will of heaven.

It is easy to say that we should go against the will of heaven.

But how much courage does it take to really do it?

Moreover, even if one could really change one's fate and successfully enter the realm of destruction, could one rest easy?

No, that's not it.

Entering the realm of destruction is only the first step in changing one's fate.

The real test comes after one has changed one's fate, as can be seen from the endings of the sage Partridge and the blasphemer Archibald.

How many people in the world could threaten a saint, a demigod? His life span was not thousands of years, but it could be hundreds or even thousands of years. However, he died suddenly when he was over a hundred years old.

A blasphemer, who could truly compete with the gods and was more powerful and terrifying than saints, was reduced to ashes under the bombardment of heavenly thunder.

It can be imagined that after truly stepping into the realm of destruction, one will inevitably suffer endless targeting, harassment, and even hunting by the heavens until the moment of death comes, and the storms in life will never subside.

This kind of life is definitely not what they want.

However, anyone who has achieved the current level of strength despite being restricted everywhere must be a proud and arrogant person.

Even if I am being hunted down or displaced all the time.

For people like Barumong and Balk, they might not care what the Twilight Continent will look like in the future. After all, even if what Ron said was true and the Twilight Continent was completely destroyed, that would be many years later. By then, they might have already died. No matter what the Twilight Continent looked like, it had nothing to do with them.

But the same thing goes, who is willing to live a humble life like a pet?

They also want to stand up straight and live a decent life.

"Everyone please go back."

"You can think carefully about what the future will be like. There is no need to come up with an answer so quickly."

"If you want to continue living like this, that's human nature. After all, not everyone has the courage to go against the will of heaven. But, if you're willing to give it a try, I don't mind giving you a little help."

Ron's voice rang out again, breaking the silence at the scene.

Everyone who was thinking raised their heads when they heard this, and there was still some confusion in their eyes. Just like Ron said, such a thing really cannot be decided casually.

But, for a moment, no one was willing to leave the room.

Just a few seconds later, Barumong, who usually behaved the most rudely, was the first to stand up: "Sir, I have made up my mind."

"If I don't give it a try, with my current strength and realm, I'm afraid that I'll be at the end of my rope in 20 to 30 years at most. In that case, instead of living in a muddle, I might as well give it a try. No matter what, at least there is still hope."

Barumong's words obviously brought a great shock to the others around him. The confusion in their eyes gradually dissipated, and what remained was a rebellious light.

Yes.

Who are they?

It was the previous king.

He is the head of the largest noble family.

He is the divine messenger of the largest secret sect.

How could they be the kind of people who are willing to live in mediocrity? They have been through a lot in their lives, and have experienced everything and gone through all kinds of hardships? They have gone through all kinds of risks, so at the end of their lives, do they want to shrink back like a turtle and live in mediocrity? To put it bluntly, they can't afford to lose face.

For a moment, although the remaining few people did not speak, their burning eyes showed their will. Even the temperature in the room seemed to rise inexplicably.

These few people are like this, not to mention the others.

Those women were either already favored by the gods or they could not avoid future conflicts no matter what, and the paths they could choose had already been determined.

Or it could be someone like the former Saint Kaya, who is naturally gentle and cares about the world, and it is impossible for her to stay out of it.

Ron was also somewhat relieved. He had thought that after he told everyone the truth about the world, some timid people would be scared away. However, he had never expected that their will was even stronger than he thought.

"In that case, these things will be given to you. How far you can achieve in the future depends on your luck." Ron was not a stingy person. With a wave of his hand, the room was suddenly filled with light.

All kinds of crystals sparkling with dazzling light instantly covered the ground.

Even though the strength of everyone present was quite good, they all felt a stinging pain in their eyes for a moment.

After they got used to the dazzling light, they looked again and immediately heard a sound of people gasping for air. Because the cool air was absorbed, the temperature in the room rose by several degrees.

Boy, what did they see?

Those crystal stones... bullshit, they are not stones at all, they are all dragon crystals.

This is too exaggerated.

Even though everyone present was well-informed, their eyes widened at this moment. Simmons and Balke were even drooling.

Balk considers himself the patriarch of the Copperfield family, the largest noble family in the Kingdom of Spang. With the ancestor not intervening, he has the final say on everything in the family. He has always believed that the Copperfield family's treasure house may be the richest place in the world. The wealth accumulated by the family for thousands of years is probably greater than that of the kingdom's treasury.

But when he saw the dragon crystals that Ron took out, Balk realized that he was actually a pauper.

This... this is dragon crystal. The value of any piece of dragon crystal can empty out an entire room in my treasure house.

But look at the dragon crystals on the ground in front of you, there are at least eighty of them if not a thousand.

Where did Ron get so many dragon crystals? Could it be that this guy went to the Dragon Valley and emptied out all the dragon treasures?

Barumong's heart almost stopped. You know, he was once a king, and the entire country's wealth belonged to him. The number was even more exaggerated than Balke's. But now Barumong felt like a poor guy who had never seen the world. After all, dragon crystal was something that could not be bought with money.

Except for those who already knew about it or even participated in the division of the spoils, even Philomena and Kaya were deeply shocked by Ron's generosity.

For a moment, the hall was silent.

"Everyone, share it. Dragon crystals can help you quickly improve your strength. When your strength is improved, you can collect some high-grade equipment and send it to me. I will help you strengthen it."

"As for potions, I'm not very good at this, so it all depends on your own abilities."

Even though Ron had said this, everyone around him remained motionless. They seemed to find it hard to believe that Ron was so generous as to distribute so many dragon crystals to them.

It was only after several seconds that everyone reacted, and soon, all the dragon crystals on the ground were divided up.

Of course, even if you have dragon crystal in your hand, it is not an easy task to transform the energy in the dragon crystal into your own power.

Barumonger, Balke, Simmons and Westdennis were the first to leave.

After Ron and Kaya talked briefly for a while, they also stood up and said goodbye.

After all, Kaya's place was too small to accommodate so many people, so Lydia brought Ron and others to the palace. After a period of cleaning, there were quite a few rooms in the palace.

The five hundred fox girls stationed in the Spang Theocracy have also been selected and handed over to Lydia for arrangement. I believe that Lydia should be able to maximize the value of these fox girls.

Bai Lan and Bai Yuan have also begun preparing to attack the level of destruction.

The strength of these two sisters was already good, and after accepting the inheritance of the God of Wilderness, their strength was further improved.

Perhaps these two sisters are unable to exert the combat power of the Destruction Realm for the time being, but in the Legend Realm, apart from Ifrit and Irelia, no one is probably their opponent, even the Valkyrie Arianna is much inferior to them.

For beings of the same level, fighting ten alone might be stressful, but fighting seven or eight shouldn't be a big problem.

Irelia and Ifrit also began to prepare to impact the realm of destruction.

After going through so much, they all knew very well that in future conflicts, the so-called legendary masters would be cannon fodder at best, and only those with strength above the realm of destruction might have some ability to protect themselves in future wars.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The task of protecting the four girls as they pass the level was given to Niafu.

If any accidents occur when the four girls are attacking a level, Niafu can intervene in time to wake them up and avoid irreversible damage.

Although she has fallen, Niafu is a six-winged angel after all. She is powerful enough, with the strength of a demigod, so it is not too difficult for her to interrupt the process of breaking through.

As for Agnes, Carol, Cecilia, and Mirabelle, they were also not idle. They were all digesting the gifts they had received from the gods.

On the contrary, Lydia and Isabel, one is the newly crowned queen, and the other is the newly crowned great saint. Although they hold great power, it is not stable. There are too many things to deal with right now, and they have no chance to calm down and practice.

And Charlene is busy every day because she has to assist Lydia.

Thankfully, this busyness doesn’t last long.

Barumonger, Balke, Simmons and Westdennis moved quickly.

Although they got the dragon crystal, they did not wait to practice in seclusion. They had to do what they promised to Ron no matter what.

After they separated that night, they had no intention of resting at all and started to act directly in the early morning. With a super master like Ron and a six-winged angel like Niafu as their backup, they were worried that killing too many people might cause chaos in the Spang Theocracy, but now there is no need to worry at all.

Absolute strength is enough to suppress everything.

The four of them spent the entire day in blood.

The four men visited the nobles and clergy who had previously attempted to assassinate Lydia one by one.

As long as these four people appeared at the doorstep of any family, the entire family would be immediately killed.

For a time, the huge royal city was flooded with blood, and the strong smell of blood lingered for a long time.

Barumong was extremely ruthless and did not even spare some members of the royal family. All of his brothers and sons who had tried to attack Lydia had all their skills destroyed by Barumong himself.

Although he was not killed directly, he would never have the chance to ascend the throne again in this life.

Lydia also took the opportunity to replace all the bribed maids and guards in the palace with her own confidants, and her own safety was finally guaranteed to a certain extent.

There was no need for Ron and Niafu to take action, and the mass killing did not cause the chaos and resistance as imagined.

The common people had no resentment at all about the death of the noble clergy, and they even applauded. Although the nobles were furious, they said with red faces and thick necks that this was a shameless trampling on the power and glory of the nobility, and they vowed to defend the dignity of the nobility to the death.

But just two shouts will do. Could it be that they are really going to start a rebellion? Didn't you see that several grand dukes, dukes, and most of the marquises were cleaned up in one day? If anyone dares to stand up and be the first to do it, it would be the same as seeking death. Although many clergymen in the church severely reprimanded Lydia for being too overbearing, without the leader, the unrest in the church was easily suppressed and did not cause much trouble.

Lydia also acted very quickly, signing more than a dozen queen's decrees within one day.

First, the titles of the deceased nobles were reclaimed and their property was confiscated.

Then he quickly nationalized the lands held by these nobles. These dead nobles alone controlled nearly one-fifth of the fertile land in the Spang Theocracy. Then he quickly issued a new decree to recount the land in the country, and then distribute all the land to the civilians of the Spang Theocracy for cultivation.

Civilians only need to pay 20% of grain as tax every year and do not need to bear any other levies and taxes.

This alone quickly won Lydia the hearts of the people of the Spang Theocracy.

Then, he quickly announced that all nobles would be removed from the army, talented soldiers would be promoted to generals, the treatment of all soldiers would be improved, and the long-overdue military pay would be paid.

A series of thundering measures allowed Lydia to win the hearts of the soldiers in a very short time.

In addition, most of the royal family members were deposed and turned into ordinary people.

Nowadays, anyone who is not an idiot can clearly see that Lydia's position in the Spang Theocracy has been completely consolidated and no one can shake it anymore.

Of course, nowadays there are just some simple decrees, and detailed changes cannot be completed overnight. Just like the Kingdom of Granville, several years have passed and changes in all aspects have not yet been completed.

But no matter what, the Theocracy of Spang is developing in a better direction.

After confirming that there would be no problem, Ron finally felt relieved.

Together with Philomena, he began to digest the remaining soul of the God of Death Benavid that had been captured earlier.

This is the residual soul of a god. If it can be refined, the benefits gained will be immeasurable.

In the spiritual space, Ron's soul gradually dispersed, revealing the gray-black substance wrapped in the middle. As soon as the suppression was released, Benavid's residual soul immediately began to rampage in Ron's spiritual space.

The vast spiritual space was stirred up by waves caused by the residual soul of Benavid.

Benavid's soul was partially destroyed and then completely torn apart, and his soul was not as strong as Zhou Yang's. Now the remaining soul had completely lost any intelligence, like a mad beast.

Ron didn't care at all about the fluctuations in the spiritual space.

Watching the constantly squirming residual soul, Ron's soul gradually stretched, became thin and sharp, like a sharp knife.

laugh.

Seeing the opportunity, Ron's soul flew over instantly.

The soul-transformed sharp knife instantly tore off a small piece from Benavid's remaining soul.

The pain of having his soul torn apart caused the remaining soul of Benavid to suddenly let out a sharp wail, and as if it was pure instinct, it quickly fled to a farther corner of the spiritual space. As for the small piece that was cut off, it no longer cared about it at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ron's soul instantly evolved into countless thin silk threads. These strange silk threads quickly sank into the small piece of remnant soul.

Digestion begins!

Gurgle, gurgle.

Ron was greedily absorbing the power of the remnant soul. In the dark, he could feel some threads filled with the breath of death floating in front of him.

He knew that it was the law of death controlled by the god of death Benavid.

Perhaps because his soul was torn apart, the laws were intermittent and incoherent, but Ron didn't care so much. His soul greedily wrapped up everything.

And the small piece of Benavid's soul was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
