Chapter 423 "Dark Side"
Wang Yanqing finally left in disgrace. Even though he had two goals, namely, to take Tiangong and kill Xia Lin, he failed to achieve either one.
He had too many concerns.
Not being able to offend the original ruler, while maintaining a pure and innocent personality, and abandoning personal emotions and considering only the pros and cons, this forces Wang Yanqing to make only "rational" choices.
It is better to seek stability than to take risks.
Don't seek to be meritorious, but seek to avoid mistakes.
Looking at Wang Yanqing's departing back, the Origin Lord snorted coldly.
Standing at his level, his evaluation of people like Wang Yanqing is completely opposite to Zhou Xinglin's.
"He's a piece of shit that can't amount to anything."
Wang Yanqing's natural nobility and official habits have smoothed out his edges.
Favorable circumstances and the support of his parents made Wang Yanqing lack the courage to fight to the death.
However, the positions of the six pillars are fixed. If you want to fight for them, you will have to risk your life and fight fiercely.
The Lord of Heaven, who is known by the world as the most shrewd and scheming, has fought a long war of destruction with the Demon Emperor.
After all, everything in this world will eventually have to be dealt with by force!
Conspiracies and calculations cannot solve all problems.
"If all the people under the King of Kings were of this character, then there would be no need to worry."
As he muttered this in his heart, Xia Lin below had already destroyed the last node of the formation.
At this point, the entire Heavenly Palace was no longer on guard against the Original Ruler.
It became a white and tender chicken, at the mercy of the original master.
There was a sudden roar.
The entire Heavenly Palace began to tremble violently.
The Primordial Overlord stepped up its efforts, intending to completely remove the old planets from the Heavenly Palace.
Another voice rang in Xia Lin's ears.
"Come meet me on the thirty-sixth floor."
The task of destroying the center of the formation is only for emergencies.
Now the Primordial Lord summoned Xia Lin in order to solidify the eternity in Xia Lin.
Xia Lin nodded slightly.
But he turned and looked at Zhou Xinglin beside him.
At this moment, Zhou Xinglin's brows were furrowed, and his martial arts intuition was warning him that the danger in the Heavenly Palace was skyrocketing.
Xia Lin spoke at the right time: "Brother Zhou, I just received news that the remains of the Soul Devouring Immortal Venerable were found on the eleventh floor of the Heavenly Palace by my servants."
"If you are interested, you can go over there and take a look. Take my servant away from the Heavenly Palace. I'm afraid something big is going to happen here."
There is no need to think about when Scarlett will report the latest situation to Xia Lin.
Xia Lin remembered Zhou Xinglin's help just now and now he is repaying the favor.
And the person who knows you best may not be yourself, but may also be your archenemy.
As a warrior at the Guiyi realm, whose goal is to hunt down the Immortal Lord, Zhou Xinglin's knowledge of the immortal ways is not necessarily much weaker than that of the Immortal Lord.
For Scarlett, Zhou Xinglin might be a good teacher.
Zhou Xinglin nodded slightly, wanting to leave the cave with Xia Lin.
Before Xia Lin and the other two could walk away, screams suddenly rang out from the depths of the cave.
The colorful elements condensed and collapsed, like a supernova explosion, but disappeared in a flash.
This made Zhou Xinglin laugh, "Ibira has taken action. Long Xiang and Moros are probably dead."
Ibira appeared at the right time to finish the job and killed the two remaining level twelves, Long Xiang and Moros.
But this is only the obvious part.
And what he did in secret, no one knows.
All we know is that when Xia Lin and others had just left the cave and said goodbye to each other, Yaki Ibira flew out of the cave a little later.
He flapped his wings and flew away immediately, making strange but good-humored chirping sounds along the way, as if he had reaped a great harvest.
Maybe it was the tomb of some immortal that was dug up.
The original master doesn't care about these messes.
Because Zhou Xinglin, Ibira, Wang Yanqing and other level twelfth people are really just juniors, and their life or death is of no concern at all.
After a short wait, Xia Lin finally appeared on the 36th floor of the Heavenly Palace, in front of the original master's body.
"Find the right opportunity and use your skills."
After the Origin Lord said this, Xia Lin nodded heavily.
"Please rest assured, sir."
"Oh, by the way, the follow-up reward for the mission just now."
After saying this, the Primordial Overlord stretched out his hand and pointed, and a huge amount of Primordial Dark Side power was drawn in. After being purified by the Primordial Overlord, it flowed into the Book of the Spirit World.
The power of the six pillars increased by 563 strands.
The completion rate of the Old Dark Side of the Spirit World Book has skyrocketed to 41.94%!
Not only did it make up for the consumption just now, but there was also some left over.
He is such a good boss...
"Then let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the hands of the Original Overlord reached its peak.
The purple light penetrated the entire Heavenly Palace along the original formation of the Heavenly Palace.
The power of the original master is using the array patterns as a path to reversely dismantle the essence of the Heavenly Palace.
And now, with Xia Lin destroying three formation nodes, just a few seconds later, the entire Heavenly Palace was under the control of the Original Master.
The fact is, even without Xia Lin's sudden mission, the Origin Overlord could have achieved the current steps by spending a certain amount of time.
——When there is only this Six Pillars in the entire Luotian Star Region, the outcome of the matter will inevitably be determined by the Six Pillars. There will be no other possibilities. The only variable is the matter of time.
And the original master couldn't wait any longer.
In Yu Xialin's eyes, light flashed continuously.
That light seemed to contain all the paths to immortality, the essence of heaven, the mysteries of the universe, and the patterns of rules.
One of the Six Pillars: The Original Lord, who showed the secret of the power of the six pillars to Xia Lin without reservation!
Unfortunately, Xia Lin couldn't witness much before he felt his soul aching and his brain about to explode.
This was a grandeur that he was unable to witness.
Even so, the permanent foundation talent was also stimulated.
[Your talent, a permanent foundation, your level will rise! ]
[Upgraded from SS level to SSS level! ]
[The permanent skill bar has been expanded to 10! ]
Xia Lin firmly believed that if he could witness more and more detailed things, he would be able to naturally upgrade the eternal foundation to the racial foundation level and thus break through to the eleventh level.
However, the original master refused to cooperate.
He won't cooperate either.
Compared to what he is doing now, Xia Lin’s talent upgrade is obviously not within the consideration of the Original Lord.
The infinite light exploded for more than ten minutes.
Xia Lin had already closed his eyes to rest, not daring to look again.
Until the voice of the Original Lord sounded again and fell into Xia Lin's ears.
“Now!”
Xia Lin suddenly opened his eyes and pointed.
One-time skill: Eternal Solidification flew out of his hand and hit the bull's eye with the fine-tuning intervention of the Primal Overlord.
It was not until this moment that Xia Lin saw that what appeared not far away from him was a crystal clear yet ethereal water-blue planet.
It is floating in front of the original master, constantly rotating, but there is a risk of collapse at any time!
The risk of a collapse appears to stem from two sources.
First, its own state is not stable enough.
Theoretically, this planet had already been refined into the Heavenly Palace and had long ceased to exist. It was the Primordial Overlord who, using the power of the Six Pillars, reversely extracted it—even Xia Lin felt that this planet was a fabrication constructed by the Primordial Overlord.
Of course, the falsehood of the six pillars is not necessarily true...
Second, there is a conflict between the new and old cosmic rules.
Just like a heartless remnant soul, the old soul will be rejected by the new universe, and only the six pillars can withstand this rejection.
This planet certainly cannot be called a six-pillar planet - it is just an ordinary life-bearing planet.
The exclusion of rules has put this planet under great pressure, like a piece of porcelain being hit by a forging press. Only the original master can withstand the pressure of the forging press and allow this object to survive for a short time.
And when Xia Lin pointed his finger, Eternal Solidification took effect.
This caused the state of the planet to solidify, transforming from fragile porcelain into an indestructible alloy. It was able to withstand the wild impact of unstable state and conflicting rules without even the need for the original master to exert any force.
The transaction was successfully completed.
Neither Xia Lin nor the original master broke their promise, and everything went according to the agreement.
This made the Primordial Lord turn around and smile at Xia Lin.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you…”
Xia Lin sighed softly: "Is it just a pleasant cooperation?"
The Primordial Overlord stopped smiling and nodded calmly to Xia Lin: "It's just a pleasure to work with you."
This means that from the very beginning, He never considered Xia Lin as one of His true friends.
He only regarded Xia Lin as a mercenary who was paid to do things...
"This is the final reward."
Just as the Primordial Lord finished speaking, the entire Heavenly Palace suddenly shrank and eventually turned into a palm-sized crystal pagoda, standing in the palm of the Primordial Lord.
The Original Lord didn't take this half-ruined heavenly palace seriously at all.
He does not need and cannot use this thing.
So I just threw it to Xia Lin.
"It's for you."
Tiangong was sent to Xia Lin by the Original Lord.
Xia Lin hesitated briefly, but took it without hesitation.
This action not only means that Xia Lin has obtained the treasure, but also means that Xia Lin has taken the initiative to take over the cause and effect between the Lord of Heaven and some people who covet the Heavenly Palace!
But unlike Wang Yanqing, Xia Lin has never been afraid of this.
This scene made the Original Lord smile slightly.
"Now, let's go, get out of here as quickly as possible."
"Because the next time we meet, we'll be enemies."
The last thing he looked at was not Xia Lin, but the spiritual world book on Xia Lin's chest and the 48,068 soul lights in Xia Lin's body.
The position of the six pillars of the original dark side is still the easiest to fight for.
This is the next target of the Original Overlord, or the Original Dark Side Main Consciousness, and it should have been His thing... but it is also the target of the people on the side of the King of Kings, and it is also Xia Lin's target.
Thinking from this perspective, it is impossible for the original master to trust Xia Lin.
Before, there was no one available... but soon, He had plenty of available subordinates.
What is even more strange is that the original master did not get rid of Xia Lin, but killed him with just one finger.
In my mind, the Old Ones were roaring, as if recalling bad memories.
"Kill him! Just fucking kill him!"
"Why give him a treasure? Why let him leave? Wasn't my lesson profound enough?"
To lift a rock and drop it on your feet is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
The Old Master has a lot to say about this matter.
The original dark side main consciousness remained unmoved.
Just a soft sigh.
“I am not you, nor am I Him…”
You, I mean the Old Ones.
He refers to the original dark side.
Reason restrains emotions, and emotions interfere with reason.
The newly born original dark side main consciousness is not pure and flawless, but it has a bottom line.
He might be the most upright and moral one among the six pillars...
In my mind, the old master suddenly laughed wildly.
"The garbage can of the old and new universes, the most filthy of collections, could actually give birth to a soul like you! It's simply ridiculous!"
Everything has its limits?
"It's not that exaggerated... I just made a choice that I thought was right."
The original dark side main consciousness said this.
Then, He opened His mouth and swallowed the old planet in one gulp.
The turbid light bloomed.
…
This turbid light spread neither fast nor slow, but quite firmly.
It seems to be spreading and covering the entire universe with the original ruler as the core.
Before the light spread, Xia Lin had already walked a long way and even appeared next to Zhou Xinglin and Scarlett.
After the three of them reunited, Xia Lin turned around to look at the spreading turbid light and sighed deeply.
By now, he had understood what the Primordial Overlord was doing...
"I sense danger." Zhou Xinglin, standing aside, said gravely, "It's a danger on the level of facing the enemy six pillars..."
Xia Lin smiled and said, "You are indeed facing six pillars, or even two six pillars, so your premonition is correct."
The three of them didn't talk much about anything else, but flew in the opposite direction of the turbid light.
The goal is clear: the channel between the two worlds of the Flashing Blue Star.
As your perception spreads, you will find that everything covered by the turbid light has not changed.
This light was like a joke, not causing any changes to anything.
Zhou Xinglin sensed extreme danger and was under so much pressure that he didn't want to speak.
Xia Lin knew what the Primordial Overlord was doing, and that he himself had played a key role in it. He didn't know if his line of work was good or bad, but it had certainly caused a major mess, and he was mentally reviewing it.
Instead, Scarlett was the first to be unable to suppress her confusion as she looked at the unusual turbid light.
"What kind of method is this? It doesn't seem very powerful..."
Xia Lin came back to his senses from reviewing the game and whispered, "The Old Ones' Arrival? The Dark Side of the Old Ones? Or perhaps, the Old Ones' Reappearance? I don't know what this core skill of the original Dark Side should be called, but I know its power and the impact it can cause."
This sentence attracted Zhou Xinglin's attention.
"Tell me."
The original dark side had only power, no soul, and no will.
Even if He has skills, He doesn't know how to use them or express them.
This means that this current situation can even be said to be the first time in the creation of the main universe, so Zhou Xinglin is naturally very curious.
Just as the three of them quickly arrived at the passage between the two worlds of the Flashing Blue Star.
He simply went in, and then Xia Lin looked at Zhou Xinglin.
"Brother Zhou, please do me another favor and help me destroy the battlefield between the two worlds. Completely destroy it."
Zhou Xinglin was slightly stunned, but soon understood.
Xia Lin was afraid that the turbid light would penetrate into the shining blue star along the passage between the two worlds.
In an instant, the wind began to rise and the clouds surged, and the martial spirit of a golden dragon rose into the sky.
Zhou Xinglin punched the passage between the two worlds, first destroying the gate between the two worlds on the Luotian 985 planet, and then he heard Xia Lin's voice sounding faintly.
"The Primordial Overlord is using his core abilities to create a plane."
"I would like to call this world He created: The Dark Side of the Universe."
…
Creating a plane is not a very rare or difficult thing for higher beings.
Therefore, Xia Lin's two sentences did not cause any waves in Scarlett and Zhou Xinglin's hearts.
"However, the operating principle of the core skills of the original dark side is different from the general ability to create planes."
The reason why Xia Lin knew this clearly was because the method that the Primordial Overlord was currently using was exactly the same as the Old Ones Coming in the Spirit World Book, which was equivalent to an enhanced version of the Spirit World Book!
"The plane He created lies in the darkness of the universe, so I call it the dark side of the universe."
"This isn't an ordinary plane, but a special plane with a strong causal connection to the main universe."
Ordinary planes are independent, but the dark side of the universe is different.
Zhou Xinglin asked doubtfully, "What's the connection?"
Xia Lin phrased it simply, then said, "It's a symbolic connection."
Before Xia Lin released the Old Ones, Zhou Xinglin didn't notice anything unusual and was completely deceived by the power of the Old Ones.
At this moment, Xia Lin thought about it and told everything that happened in the Advent of the Old Ones and the cause of Zhu Xing's death.
"Take my Advent of the Old Ones as an example. The main universe is tentatively defined as the positive side, and the false world created by the Advent of the Old Ones is the dark side."
"Everything in the positive universe has a corresponding symbol in the dark side of the universe."
Xialin symbolizes Xialin.
Zhuxing symbolizes the driver.
Zhu Xing's power symbolizes the driver's physique and pistol.
Zhou Xinglin's two helping hands symbolize the briefcase that helped Xia Lin block bullets twice.
“And no matter whether it’s the positive or the dark side, any change will be synchronized with the symbol on the opposite side.”
If Zhu Xing died in the positive universe, the driver in the false dark side would also die on the spot - perhaps in a car accident or from a sudden illness.
If the driver in the false dark side dies, Zhu Xing in the positive universe will also die mysteriously - just like what happened before.
"Except for special individuals, no one can sense this symbol of strong connection. The memories of both parties are not synchronized, and there is no connection between them. They are just two independent individuals."
The so-called special person is the caster: Xia Lin in the advent of the old days, and the original master now!
Zhou Xinglin suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
"So what you're saying is, if I had walked slower and been covered by that light, I would have connected with the dark side of the universe, and a false symbol of me would have been born in the dark side of the universe."
Xia Lin nodded: "Yes."
"Then, if my false symbol in the dark side of the universe dies, I myself will die immediately."
Xia Lin nodded again: "That's right."
“It might not even be just that.”
"The dark side of the universe operates according to its own rules. Your unified martial arts might symbolize power, wealth, status, and so on."
"In the positive universe, your power is entirely your own, but in the dark universe, the symbol of your power may be something external to you."
"Considering that as a caster, you can share the memories of the positive universe while in the dark side of the universe, the Primordial Overlord can easily do this: plunder the symbol of your power in the dark side of the universe, thereby stripping you of all your strength."
Zhou Xinglin was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke.
"There's no way to defend against this..."
"Yes, there's no way to prevent that."
If the positive universe cannot solve the problem, I can change track and go to the dark side of the universe to solve the corresponding symbol!
This provides the owner of this power with a completely different solution to the problem - this is the method Xia Lin used to deal with Zhu Xing.
In fact, it was Xia Lin who did not immediately understand the operating logic of the dark side of the universe.
Otherwise, even without the help of the cheat in the Spirit World Book, he would have a hundred ways to kill Zhu Xing... Zhu Xing would not even know how he died.
The dump truck Iai asks you if you are afraid!
Yes, under this skill logic, a level 12 expert can be hit and killed by a car!
Zhou Xinglin and Scarlett suddenly turned around and looked at the destroyed passage between the two worlds.
Even though they couldn't see it, the two knew that the dark side of the universe created by the original master was expanding and spreading outward at a slow but steady pace.
“He wants to…”
"I want to incorporate everything in the main universe into the dark side and create a primordial dark side that covers the entire main universe."
At this moment, Xia Lin did not use the term "dark side of the universe" to describe it, but used the name of the six pillars: the original dark side.
In a trance, Xia Lin sighed deeply.
Liuzhu, I'm afraid he already knew what kind of power the original dark side possessed.
Even the name of the original dark side comes from this!
But before, the Original Dark Side was not a threat... He couldn't even use his skills.
Things are changing suddenly, and I don’t know if the six pillars are prepared.
Clearing his mind of distractions, Xia Lin continued, "Once the Primordial Overlord accomplishes this, I don't know if the Six Pillars can withstand this power. But at least everything beneath the Six Pillars, including life itself, is at the mercy of the Primordial Overlord."
This is the true authority that dominates everything.
The original ruler is creating a new cosmic rule that reveres Him!
And his big move just happened to coincide with the time when the war between immortals and demons broke out again.
Xia Lin suddenly turned to look at Zhou Xinglin: "Brother Zhou, do you think Chaoxing will focus more on the battle between immortals and demons, or will he turn his attention to dealing with the issue of the Origin Overlord?"
Zhou Xinglin thought for a moment and suddenly sighed.
"former."
"If Lu Ming is confident that he can withstand the invasion of the dark side of the universe, then he will only focus on the battle between immortals and demons."
"Because this involves Lu Ming's own interests."
Chao Xing is really greedy for the body of the Heavenly Dao Creator...
"So the key is whether the other pillars can block the invasion of the dark side of the universe."
"If they can stop them, the Primordial Overlord's actions will be of no concern to them. If they can't, the Primordial Overlord will probably be targeted."
Just as Xia Lin said this, he suddenly laughed.
Reaching out and touching the spiritual book around his neck, Xia Lin already had the answer in his mind.
"Probably, it's not a big problem."
Zhou Xinglin suddenly stopped, as if listening to instructions from afar.
Soon, he turned and looked at Xia Lin.
"You guessed it..."
"Superstar's personal order: All members of the Three Phases Gang, immediately evacuate the territory originally occupied by the Heavenly Dao Creator."
Xia Lin thought about it briefly and immediately understood.
"So, there's no need for us to overthink things. The six pillars may have already had a tacit understanding."
——The Demon Emperor Super Star blocked the Lord of Heaven.
——The original master plundered all the forces under the Lord of Heaven, and using this as a foundation, he officially stepped onto the stage of the main universe.
This also indicates that the dark side of the universe dominated by the original master will only spread to the entire territory of the forces under the command of the Lord of Heaven, and will not continue to spread for the time being.
The usurpation plan does not end with the birth of the original overlord.
Instead, it ends with the birth of the dark side of the universe.
The new ones laugh and the old ones cry.
Immortal Emperor, your wings are broken and you are left alone. This is the end of this game.
