Chapter 535: The Heirs

The sun shines through the window, leaving two glaring red spots on the bed.

The weather in April has become hot.

Lu Yao was eating a doll head ice cream, slumped in his chair.

He listened to light music while looking at the pixel world on the screen.

In the early days, he was a god who took care of everything himself. He was afraid that the pixel people would die if they were not careful, so he kept an eye on them all the time and sent some rain and sunshine from time to time to help them increase their harvests and reduce natural risks.

Not needed now.

Lu Yao mostly just watched and played the role of a joker. He would only personally handle important projects.

Although the connection was accidentally disconnected for half a month, the Yao civilization is still doing well.

This strengthened Lu Yao's determination to transform.

People like Liu Bei once said, after fighting wars all your life, can't you just enjoy yourself?

Lu Yao has recently been paying attention to a secret society called the "Old God Society".

Since the establishment of the museum, the Old Gods Showroom has received great attention from pixel people. The combination of curiosity and gods always attracts many fans.

When Lu Yao searched for relevant entries in the background, he also found an organization called "Dark Sun Church".

According to historical records, this was the first secret society with a clear name and organizational purpose established in the history of the Yao civilization, and it was founded before the Yao calendar.

The "Church of Dark Sun" originated from the Dark Night Gatherings. The church members all worship the power of Dark Sun and want to build around the Dark Sun faith.

However, this church was disbanded after the fall of the Dark Sun and has become a historical mystery.

Even the god Lu Yao only knew about the existence of such a group of people at this time.

After the "Church of the Dark Sun", the most famous secret organization is the "Flame Society".

The Flame Society was founded by the legendary prophet Medicine Spoon. The members of the group are all scholars, including the later leader of the Temple, Chubirol. The purpose of the group is to secretly study potions.

In that era, potions were still a monstrous force that was feared and resisted by the world.

This ancient organization continues to this day. Today, the Flame Society has absorbed elites from various industries, and its research projects are no longer limited to potions, but it still focuses on the cutting-edge field of extraordinary power.

Now let’s talk about the present.

The nature of the "Old God Society" is different from these predecessors. This organization was founded in the "Secret Society Workshop" of the Abyss "Miniature Empire", but it is a enthusiasts club that studies the beliefs and related deeds of the Old Gods.

This reminded Lu Yao of the interesting memories of his childhood when he and other children discussed aliens and monsters all day long and searched for UFOs everywhere.

At this time, the "Old God Association" was holding a regular meeting in a private house in Yaocheng.

There were nine participants in total.

They sat around a long table and began to talk about their discoveries.

A little man named [Wheat Wave] said: "I worked as a farmer in the farm of the Resurrection Kingdom for many years. Last autumn, one day a very strange phenomenon occurred in the wheat field. The dense wheat there was separated, forming a long passage across the wheat field."

"The long road appeared out of nowhere in the field, then stretched all the way to the distance and disappeared in a certain area."

"The monsters in the Resurrection Kingdom had long been cleared out. There was no way such a huge monster could have walked through the wheat fields. At the time, many farmers suspected that the old gods had resurrected and awakened from underground."

A frightened and sweaty expression appeared on Mailang's head. "But the Kingdom repeatedly ordered that no secrets should be leaked. I only dared to tell you after I left there and came to Yaocheng. I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to go near the wheat field at all."

"It's probably the Old God!"

"The Resurrection Kingdom must be conducting a secret investigation!"

This secret aroused heated discussion among everyone.

But in Lu Yao's eyes, it always felt a bit subtle when the skeleton man Mailang said something like "scared to death".

He checked on the backend of World Encyclopedia and found that there really was something strange happening in the wheat field.

So Lu Yao asked about cat grass.

"It is like this, sir. At that time, the Resurrection Kingdom was conducting the first joint test flight of the flying boat with the Yao Kingdom. They chose to do it at night to avoid being seen. The wind element crystal structure of the flying boat generated strong winds when it was flying, and it climbed low over the wheat fields, so it left some traces."

This answer made Lu Yao feel regretful.

Sure enough, the old gods did not crawl back from hell.

Lu Yao turned his gaze back to the "Old Gods Association".

It was another member, Kenshin, who spoke.

This swordsman is a young descendant of the intermarriage between the Sword Bearers and an ordinary person. He has white hair and black clothes, and the traditional wooden sword on his back has been replaced by a sword case that holds elemental magic swords.

"I met an old god outside the Sand City."

As soon as these words were spoken, shocked faces and exclamation marks appeared above everyone's heads.

"real?"

"Where exactly is it?"

"Did you see the appearance of the old gods?"

…

"The gods cannot look directly at it."

Kenshin said, "That old god is invisible and intangible, but he is in the desert and I cannot get close to him. If I force my way in, I will be blown away by the divine power."

"I tried to use the elemental sword, but even a sword as sharp as the ice sword could not penetrate that area. The power of the old gods lingers there. I have the ability of [Theology] and can sense traces of miracles."

Traces of miracles?

Then it should not be the wind element channel.

Lu Yao called Slymode.

"My Lord God, it's Lord King Uji."

Master Slime explained: "During the construction of the wind element channel between Sand City and Eternal City, the engineers of the Wuji tribe discovered the Wu element underground. So I prayed and asked Lord King Wuji to come here. Thanks to the miracle of Lord King Wuji, these Wu elements were well collected and hundreds of new Wuji people were born."

It turns out that it is not the old gods, but the gods of the past.

Lu Yao was just about to continue reading gossip and weird stories when a prompt appeared on the screen.

【Apostle Isabel prays to you. 】

Lu Yao double-clicked the reminder bar.

The scene jumps to a small town in the desert, the main body of which is a square fortress.

It is the settlement of the Bailing tribe, now called Bailing Village.

Isabel stood beside the man in black.

She knelt on one knee: "My Lord God, I have a piece of news about the [God of Darkness]..."

Fu recounted his own experiences and how the [Obsidian Butterfly Goddess] obtained the [Black Scepter].

Lu Yao became interested.

I didn't expect that the [God of Darkness] also left his footprints at the Aztec mythological tree, and this legacy alone caused an uproar.

The identity of this main god has always been confusing.

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

Lu Yao opened the database of the committee’s official website and entered [God of Darkness].

He had long wanted to check this person's background.

I hold His [Black Abyss] and can be considered the heir to His legacy, but I still don't know who He is or which mythology system He comes from.

However, the information provided by the database disappointed Lu Yao.

There are a lot of relevant information under the term [God of Darkness], but they are all articles and discussions from various parties. There is no official definition or description, as if it does not exist.

I can only find Song Shiyi.

Lu Yao summoned Isabel over and turned on the phone to call her.

"Ms. Mary, you guys haven't replied to my messages. I thought something happened. I'm glad you're okay. Well, it's not a big deal. Wei Yingxue insisted on treating you to a meal to thank you for saving her last time. Even if only Miss Mary comes, it's fine."

So this is the reason for treating me to milk tea.

After hearing Isabel's question, there was a typing sound from the other end of the phone.

After a while, Song Shiyi said, "I used my authority to check. There are many records of the Dark God appearing, but there are almost no records of the Dark God still alive after the Sailors have had direct dealings with Him... He is very aggressive and his behavior is also eccentric and strange. As long as he attacks, he will destroy the sun of the world he touches."

"The God of Darkness is a powerful and dangerous main god, with unpredictable moods. If he were to be rated, he would be ranked X, the highest."

"He has appeared in some ancient records and destroyed many virtual civilizations. It is known that He has had contact with Norse mythology and Aztec mythology, but there are no detailed information."

"Every world he passes through will fall into darkness. Even if it can naturally return to normal, it will take many epochs."

Song Shiyi took a breath and continued, "There is a saying that the Dark God is a Forgotten One. Everything He does is based on instinct, which is why although He appears in the Void periodically, no one knows anything about Him because He has long lost his past."

"There is also a view that the God of Darkness is not a certain main god, but a group of initiators who took over in different eras. There is a certain continuity, almost like a powerful group title."

"Scholars who hold this view speculate that every dark god will deliberately leave some legacy before disappearing, such as props, wonders or even a world, in order to select the next dark god. In other words, the next successor is customized through these legacies."

"The more the Dark God's legacy is collected, the stronger the cumulative effect will be, so these heirs will eventually fight and hunt each other... The winner will become the next Dark God."

"Because his subordinates rarely reveal their identities to avoid being besieged or retaliated. There are actually many rumors about the Dark God, but a lot of information sources are difficult to verify themselves and cannot be archived as conclusions. This is a regrettable gap in the committee's database."

The forgotten one or the vest.

The committee did not reach a conclusion.

However, the heir's inference gave Lu Yao a new perspective.

It doesn’t matter. You guys can fight as much as you want. I’ll just eat the minimum living allowance from the Black Abyss and won’t get involved in the infighting among the rich.

Finally, Lu Yao asked Isabel to agree to have dinner together tomorrow night.

As for the matter of the Great Qin Empire, I also need to communicate with Song Shiyi.

…

The most important thing about Fu's news is that the [Black Abyss] and the [Black Scepter] are somehow linked, and the sun drained by the latter will fall into the abyss.

In other words, there are the remains of the sun in the abyss.

Lu Yao switched perspective and came to the abyss again after many days.

In the fifth layer, the Sifang Kingdom has completed the construction of four medium-sized cities. The cities are connected by roads and are completely integrated with the Sifang City in the fourth layer.

The local advantages and characteristics are still being vigorously developed here, such as the breeding of bighorn sheep and native chickens, and the various academic groups formed based on the [Miniature Empire].

Surrounding this treasure of civilization left behind by the Crystal Empire, pixel people come and go, creating and experimenting with various crystal derivatives.

The White God who was in charge of the place felt the call and immediately said, "Master Zhengshen, I have followed your oracle and have made further attempts on the abyss with several apostles over the past few hundred years."

"In fact, after the little god opened the seal, our advance team not only broke through the sixth floor, but also set foot on the seventh floor."

Lu Yao was delighted.

The progress is quite fast.

"The situation on the sixth floor is different from the previous ones. This floor is full of various special creatures, between living and dead things. Each of them has its own power rules and characteristics. If you want to completely conquer this floor, you may need to start a war that lasts for hundreds of years. I think it is unnecessary."

"After trying, I found that the needs of the special creatures are basically the same. They can all eat the Omnipotent Stone. As long as they enter the eating and digesting state, they can safely bypass it. It's just that the consumption of the Omnipotent Stone is a bit high. Fortunately, the production of King Wuji is very high."

Baishen’s path is simple, just pay to pass.

Lu Yao appreciated this very much.

What is needed in exploration is efficiency. Compared with large-scale and long-term wars, it is certainly a very cost-effective deal to complete the exploration by feeding the omnipotent stone.

"The situation on the sixth floor is relatively stable, but the situation on the seventh floor is rather strange."

Bai Shen said: "The structure of the seventh layer of the abyss is not complicated. There are treasure chests made of exquisite materials everywhere... but these treasure chests cannot be opened at all. No matter various powers and abilities, or miracles, they cannot be taken away. I have been trying carefully and want to report to you when there is substantial progress."

Open a treasure chest?

This kind of thing is something I have to work hard on myself.

Lu Yao suddenly became energetic.
