Chapter 42
At the same time, on the other side of the southern region, across the distant land, on the other side of the abyss.
A beast-like alien from the Northern Territory was crawling tremblingly in front of two humanoids.
Beast-like alien: "The troublemakers from other regions have been subdued as of yesterday. They demand to be under the command of our Northern Territory."
"It's over before I even made a move." The humanoid being who spoke had the demonic signature handsomeness, pointed ears, and a crimson tint like eyeshadow smeared around the corners of his eyes. He said in a cynical tone, "How boring! The Northern Territory has been so peaceful lately. When did this start..."
He pretended to think, and then inevitably thought of a silver figure - ah, right, it started after that person appeared...
The crimson demon's expression paused, and after a while he let out a low click of his tongue, seeming to become even less interested for some reason.
The beast-like creature looked at the demon that was visibly withering, almost thinking it was looking at a wilted plant, which was now clamoring in grievance: "No one has watered me for a month, and you still ignore me! If you ignore me, I will die. Pay attention to me! Pay attention to me!"
The beast-like alien shuddered at his own imagination—Oh no, how could the great demon species look so pitiful?! There must be something wrong with him. If he was caught with such a disrespectful imagination, he would definitely be killed!
The silent crimson demon did not pay attention to the reaction of the beast-type alien. Instead, another blue-eyed demon with a more extroverted aura looked down at the beast-type alien.
The blue-eyed demon possessed a towering physique, rare even among demons. He folded his arms, revealing his gnarled chest. He said in a deep voice, "Then let's arrange them the same way we arranged for the previous groups of surrenderers. If there are others who are interested, they should be incorporated into their ranks first."
Others... the beast-type aliens reacted, oh, you are talking about the other demon-like adults.
The demons in the Northern Territory have been forming an alliance for a long time, but for the beast-like species that lived in the extremely chaotic era in the past, they still haven't gotten used to it.
Not to mention that almost everyone in the Northern Territory now knows that these demons serve the same master. In the past, some low-level alien species with a weak presence had the privilege of meeting that master, but now that master seems to be away carrying out some extraordinary plan... at least that's what Master Aronforth said.
The legendary adult is too far away for the beast-like alien, but it does not prevent it from yearning for him like a surging river!
I wonder when that lord will return, at least... so that the creatures of the Northern Territory can officially recognize their uncrowned king...
"Huh?" At this moment, two demons suddenly raised their heads.
The crimson demon suddenly moved his lips, "Do you feel..." His words were full of incredible and unbelievable feelings.
It was as if one was suddenly hit by a billion-dollar lottery ticket while walking on the road, and the tail tone was as erratic as soft footsteps.
The blue-eyed demon beside him was also stunned, but he quickly recovered and took an involuntary step forward. "It can't be wrong! The contract's induction is very distant but also very clear!"
The crimson demon suddenly chuckled softly, and in the eyes of the beast-like aliens who looked at him like a madman, his laughter instantly turned into a hearty and wild laugh. "Aronforth has disappeared for so long, I don't believe a word he said! I just know that man must still be in the abyss!"
"The south... could it be the territory separated by the Dead River?" The Blue-Eyed Demon analyzed the situation quickly and calmly, even planning how many blind monsters he would fight along the way. "Can demons cross the Dead River?"
Suddenly a long howl was heard in the strong wind.
The beast-like creature looked up in horror and saw a giant red snake over a kilometer long flying over the abyss.
A giant crimson snake, shrouded in crimson smoke and wings sprouting from its back, its scales ablaze like fire. In an instant, the abyss's dark crimson sky seemed to be ignited by a raging, unbridled blaze. The scene was truly magnificent.
"Giant red smoke snake!" The beast-like creature immediately recognized it as the mount of another high-ranking demon lord in the Northern Territory!
It stared intently and saw a figure standing on the giant snake's head.
"That guy is really quick!" The Crimson Devil pressed his eyelids. "He hasn't left the house lately. He really seems to be acting a bit arrogant."
Unfortunately, it only takes a moment to fail.
Normally, the trouble-making Crimson Demon would have stopped him and laughed at him. However, his emotions were so turbulent right now that they weren't much better than his, so he decided not to put on a spectacle.
Then, the next second, the crimson demon waved his hand and suddenly disappeared from where he was. "Go ahead."
The echo of the voice dissipated in the wind, leaving only the beast-like alien and the blue-eyed demon staring at each other in bewilderment.
The blue-eyed demon gave the beast-like creature an encouraging smile, nodded calmly and reliably, and then ran away in an instant...
In the end, the only one left was the beast-like alien. It blinked in confusion and moved its hooves again.
It didn't know if it was just an illusion, but it felt as if the entire northern region's ground was shaking slightly. It felt as if countless behemoths were driving their armies towards the other side of the world...
So peace is just an illusion!
…
Southern Abyss.
For those who don't know what is happening, this is still a serious battlefield.
The giant covered the wound on his chest and gasped for breath, "You can't... You can't be here..."
Before he could finish his words, a surging tide suddenly surged in the Dead River.
The faint smell of death in the air increased instantly, and even the dark death energy could be seen with the naked eye.
These deathly auras intertwine and entangle the purest humans here, just like death instinctively embraces life, longing for fresh and fiery vitality.
The reaction was so intense and rapid.
The giants couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, as if their wills that had been shattered by the silver-eyed young man's thunderous blow could now be barely put together again.
"As expected, life from another world cannot survive here!"
Lu Mi, standing in the air, was surrounded by swirling black mist. From a distance, it looked as if the chains of the Dead River were stretching out to drag him into the embrace of the river.
The ghost-faced boy had seen countless corpses of people who tried to cross the Death River with their bodies but were completely devoured. Now, seeing this extremely similar scene, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Once again, a living being was about to be taken away by this river... This person was obviously the one with the most hope, but because of such a ridiculous reason... This would probably become the regret and nightmare of the young man for the rest of his life.
However, the silver-eyed young man, who was being quietly devoured by everyone, remained calm.
"Is it okay?" Lu Mi suddenly looked at the fairy beside him.
The fairy with gold and silver eyes nodded, as quiet and peaceful as a believer praying devoutly in a temple, "I am willing to dedicate everything to you."
"Wow!" Zuofa and Youfa suddenly covered their eyes, leaving only a tiny gap, "I dare not look!"
Of course, Lu Mi was not unprepared when he entered the Southern Territory. Even before he stepped through the door, that is, when the giants had been waiting for a long time without a reply -
He was actually exchanging names with the fairy.
"I don't expect you to take back our homeland for us, I just hope you can save my compatriots on the ship." The fairy with heterochromatic eyes knelt in front of him, and the gold jewelry stained with blood swayed gently on her ankles, with an almost holy and incomplete beauty.
He looked at the human youth in front of him, but it was like a believer looking up at the statue of God.
They don't expect a response, but simply speaking out feels like salvation. But this is actually a rather pathological attachment.
"My partners were there... that was my duty."
However, in reality, he had no playmates since he was a child. All the people he knew had died in the massacre, and those who remained were strangers.
But these are just insignificant embellishments. No one would be interested in the past of a fairy race that was wiped out. Moreover, in terms of the outcome, it is absolutely correct that "the young master of the fairy race should save his people."
But he hoped that in the eyes of the person in front of him, he could be an eternally pure fairy - just like the stories he accidentally heard in the human world, a fairy in fairy tales that represented love and light.
The fairy with gold and silver eyes had long been suffocated by despair in the confusion of these years, and the silver-blue light that broke through the enemy's palm was the only bright light he could grasp - please save me.
The silver-eyed young man looked at the out-of-focus, heterochromatic eyes in front of him and suddenly sighed silently. The aftereffects of war and years of confinement made him a typical problem child.
But he has come into contact with quite a few difficult types over the years, so he'll take it slow.
Lu Mi reached out and gently patted the other's head. The fairy narrowed its eyes harmlessly and rubbed against his palm like a kitten seeking a familiar scent.
Youfa blushed and covered his face shyly.
Kano lowered his folded arms and one of his eyebrows twitched.
"Alright, enough chit-chat!" The demon made the sign of an X with his hands, a cheerful expression on his face as everyone looked at him. "Compared to that, can his purifying power really be obtained through a contract?" He spread his hands. "Fairies seem to be fundamentally different from us demons you contracted before."
"Indeed." Lu Mi put down his hand and pondered, "The power of the demon species comes from their mental strength, while the power of the fairy species comes from their bloodline."
"Then using power would be like... um..." Youfa struggled to keep up with the other two. "Extracting blood... extracting blood? Those Shuras are using our blood to coat the ship. Eh! Will we die if we do that?!"
However, before they could even put it to the test, Youfa sensed the twins' crisis telepathically and stepped through the door.
*
So, by the Dead River, Lu Mi nodded after receiving a positive response from the fairy race, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will save your people."
Although he has not tried it, he is confident that he can control any risks that may arise.
The fairy with gold and silver eyes did not answer. In fact, the other party's attention was not on his own safety. Instead, he was madly fascinated by the reliable attitude displayed by the silver-eyed young man at the moment.
He was about to become part of this man's power.
The silver-eyed young man slightly raised his right hand, as if calling for something.
The other giants at the scene keenly sensed something was amiss. The Black Horned Giant immediately roared in anger, "We can't let him succeed in stopping him!!"
"Enchantment—" However, the silver-eyed young man continued unmoved.
"We can't let you disturb our king." Kano flashed in front of the crowd, looking fresh. "Give us, the subjects, some sense of presence. At least your king has to show up to be qualified, right?"
If Lu Mi was determined to save the fairy race, the nature of this matter would be different.
It was no longer just a personal conflict, but a conflict between two ethnic groups. Especially the people behind these two ethnic groups - one was the king of the Shura race who dominated the southern region, and the other was the master of the demon race who dominated the northern region.
Judging from the Shuras' current attitude, they will definitely not give up this only hope of "crossing the River of Death", which means -
"Let's have a big fight after a long time." Kano let out a faintly crazy smile, which was just a corner of the gradually intensifying storm. "I don't care what happens. Is this okay, Lord of the Abyss Demons?"
It might even lead to a war between the two major domains.
"What...?!" The giants were all shocked by the name the devil called them.
Even the relatively closed environment of the Southern Territory over the years was enough to make them understand the meaning behind these titles.
Just as the black-horned giant was shocked and hesitant, the silver-eyed young man had already flipped through the book of keys.
The newly entered name gleamed on the page. He began to read: "Shi Guang."
——!
Light.
In this abyss that is dark all day long, such a brilliant and dazzling light appeared for the first time.
It was as if all the glimmers of light between heaven and earth gathered together, dyeing the sky an incredible golden color like the rising sun.
It was a power befitting the name of this fairy species. Yet, for the first time, in the hands of a young human, it shone with unprecedented brilliance.
Zuo Fa reached out his hand blankly to catch the fireflies spreading in the air, "I can indeed feel a little bit of the power of the fairy species, but..."
Right: "But it's never been this exaggerated! No, this is completely beyond the realm of fairy species. How did they do it, and..."
The two of them stared blankly at the figure surrounded by light in the air.
—I don’t know why, but it feels so familiar, like a long, long time ago, so long ago that they were not even born yet… The longing and yearning that remains in the deepest part of my blood…
Then the two of them reacted and quickly looked at their young master, only to see the fairy named Shi Guang with his beautiful heterochromatic eyes wide open.
The two were about to ask, but were shocked by the crystal that suddenly fell from the corner of each other's eyes, and all the words were choked in an instant.
As if completely unaware that he was crying, Shi Guang faced the overly dazzling light and murmured, "God of Extradition..."
In an instant, even Zuo Fa and You Fa were shocked. They shuddered all over and looked up at the sky again. When they finally saw the figure in the light, their eight extraordinary meridians were opened.
In the slightly faded light, the young man with silver eyes had completely changed his attitude.
It’s not that the appearance has changed, but the completely different clothes, strength, temperament... brings a sense of distance and strangeness.
Those silver eyes were spotless, and the postures of all beings looking up at them were clearly reflected in them. However, people inexplicably felt a sense of guilt and panic.
Because those pupils were too clear, they were filled with an inhuman quality, as if...divinity.
At the same time, the young man's clothes changed, and ring-shaped halos were worn on his wrists and ankles, with abundant power flowing through them.
Dazzling gold ornaments were dotted everywhere, and the headdress hanging from the forehead swayed gently in the wind. The crisp sound should have been easily drowned out by the noisy tide of the Dead River, but it was so clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
For some reason, everyone suddenly remembered the legend that they rarely mentioned, but everyone knew and would never forget.
Extradition God.
[The martyr lost in the river,]
He hovered above the Dead River, with a pair of faintly visible wings of light behind him slightly spread out, and the deathly aura that had originally wrapped around his body was instantly swept away as if it had seen its natural enemy.
[If you call sincerely,]
[The golden god will descend from the sky.]
[He reaches out to you,]
People saw him raise his hand slightly and look curiously at the fluorescent light dancing on his fingertips, as if he was adapting to this new power.
[Ferry you from the Dead Sea, and fly you from hell to heaven.]
For a moment, there was complete silence along the Dead River.
The author has something to say: As we all know, the ability of "purification" is like a bug in any work.
Lu Mi: There’s even a new skin.
