Chapter 442: The Beginning of Chaos, the Call of the Past
The Soul Binding Immortal Lord was really fast in running away.
After being forced back by Zhang Hai's needle, the Soul-Binding Immortal immediately went deep into the bottomless abyss and reunited with the Wang family members several days ahead of Xia Lin. Now he happened to appear in front of Xia Lin.
Xia Lin's new identity, Chu Chen, is an old acquaintance of the Soul-Binding Immortal Venerable - Chu Chen used to be an undercover agent for the Lord of Heaven's Path, and now he and the Soul-Binding Immortal Venerable have become Wang Laoba's men.
This relationship is probably good.
"Fellow Daoist Binding Spirit."
After bowing, Fu Ling walked forward with a big laugh and patted Xia Lin's shoulder heavily.
"Just as there was an order from above, Fellow Daoist Chu Chen arrived at the perfect time."
As he spoke, he pulled Xia Lin's hand and shot deeper into the cave.
This situation was exactly what Xia Lin wanted.
Because he didn't want to face Wang Laowu with a fake identity.
Wang Laowu, the lord of all armies.
The military leader’s professional purpose is control!
Especially the control over subordinates!
Xia Lin thought that even with Zhang Hai's help, his disguise would not be able to deceive Wang Laowu, so it would be best not to meet him.
But on the surface, Xia Lin showed a puzzled expression.
"Fellow Daoist Fuling, I've just arrived. Wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable for me not to go and see the Fifth Prince?"
The bound spirit did not explain, but just spoke mysteriously.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to see the Fifth Prince even if you go. He has more things to deal with right now than meeting servants like us."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at the huge crack below.
"Look over there, do you know what that is?"
Such a striking crack and the continuously gushing purple energy beams naturally attracted Xia Lin's attention a long time ago.
But to be honest... Xia Lin really didn't know what that thing was.
At this moment, the bound spirit asked this question. Xia Lin thought for a moment and gave his own guess: "A passage to a deeper level?"
The bound spirit stroked his beard and smiled: "You are right, that is the passage leading to a deeper level!"
After saying this, Binding Spirit restrained his smile: "But it's not comprehensive enough."
"The full name should be the passage leading to the location of the original dark side and the energy spillway!"
…
The entire dark world is roughly divided into three layers.
The first level: The past is reappeared, where the fake immortal and demon emperors fought to the death.
The second layer: the bottomless abyss, where the fragments of the subconscious are stored.
And the final third layer: the Origin of Darkness, where the original dark side is located!
Therefore, it is actually very simple to understand such a thing - as long as you pass through the rift that is like the sore of the world and the eye of the giant, you can see the original dark side...
As for how you should resist the power of the Original Dark Side after meeting it, and how you should plunder the six pillars of the Original Dark Side, that is your own business.
But no matter what, passing through this channel and seeing the original dark side is the prerequisite for everything.
"But right now, this passage is impassable..."
The Soul Binding Immortal pointed at the passage and said with a sigh.
The reason is actually obvious.
The continuously gushing purple energy column, like the magma flames ejected from a volcano, blocks all visitors!
"Actually, this energy has a lot to do with the birth of the Primordial Overlord."
Xia Lin understood immediately.
This is still a legacy issue from before.
When the Immortal Emperor's plan to usurp the throne failed, the Original Dark Side gained consciousness and cooperated with the Old Overlord, thus the Original Overlord was born.
The original dark side is born to prevent the birth of all wisdom - he spares no effort to hunt down the original master!
The pursuit was carried out in the form of long-range energy projection.
When in the Luotian Star Region, Xia Lin saw the sky above the Primordial Overlord's head shattered, and purple energy was pouring down at all times, intending to wipe out the Primordial Dark Will within the Primordial Overlord's body.
And here, this outpouring of energy was expressed by the purple beam of light in front of us... but it unexpectedly blocked the way for everyone to continue downward.
"So now, anyone who wants to go down, or you rush in with the power of the original dark side."
The difficulty of this... is something that neither Wumian nor Lu Zhao can bear.
Never, ever underestimate the power of the primordial dark side.
He just doesn't have brains, not that he is weak.
In terms of pure total energy, the original dark side may be the leader of the six pillars!
"Or, we have to think of other ways."
Xia Lin's eyes swept around.
You can see that the flags here are of various shapes and colors, but after a careful count, you will find that the camps are much smaller than those in the first level of the Dark Realm.
It was still the Fuling who spoke: "Lu and Zhao, the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince... This is a new alliance."
Previously, when they were in the first level of the Dark Realm, Wang Laoer’s old alliance had collapsed. After entering the second level, everyone should fight on their own.
However, they were not aware of the situation here before, and did not know that this place had become a crater and could not enter at all.
Forced by the situation, a new alliance was passively formed - these were the forces that Fu Ling had just mentioned.
"According to the agreement, the five parties will work together to set up a peerless formation to suppress the power of the original dark side."
Xia Lin: “???”
"That's the power of the six pillars!"
Is this something you can suppress just because you want to?
The Soul Binding Immortal Venerable glanced at Xia Lin and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu Chen, who said that it was completely suppressed? Even if we had ten more Lords Lu and Zhao, we still couldn't do it."
"But we can always try to use the power of the formation to create a brief gap, and what the adults need is this brief gap."
After saying this, the Soul Binding Immortal Venerable put his arm around Xia Lin's shoulders and sighed, "To be frank, there won't be any place for us from now on. We servants are just destined to do odd jobs."
That brief interval was created for the adults, and the little Karamis like the Soul Binding Immortal Venerable were naturally not qualified to enjoy it.
Therefore, the time in this round is limited and the opportunity is rare. Xia Lin has absolutely no chance of entering the lower level with his true identity and will be directly squeezed out of the competition.
And now, I'm borrowing Chu Chen's identity...
This opportunity suddenly became huge... Although it doesn't seem very big, it is the difference between having it and not having it.
Xia Lin concealed his ambition and nodded heavily: "What do you need me to do?"
The bound spirit rolled his eyes: "Setting a trap, what else can I do with you?"
Say it again, Chu Chen, professional trap master...
Specializing in setting traps and laying mines.
Fu Ling waved his hand and said, "As the only two Immortal Venerables in the entire venue, Sheng Ru Zun has been called to lead that peerless formation."
"My family's level is far inferior to that of the Sage Confucian Immortal Venerable, but he is also a legitimate Immortal Venerable. The Fifth Prince has already instructed me to set up a defensive formation in the surrounding area to block external risks!"
He patted Xia Lin's chest and said, "This is the final line of defense! You and I, brothers, must work together to do this job perfectly and live up to the Fifth Prince's expectations."
Xia Lin started complaining, not knowing where to start.
Others may not know what you are, but how could I, Xia Lin, not know?
You've already voted for the Origin Overlord. Wang Laowu has entrusted you with such an important task. There must be something fishy going on in his family...
Looking at the Soul Binding Immortal Master, he could not see any other emotions in his eyes.
His eyes were quite clear, and contained a look of loyalty that would make him willing to sacrifice his life for the Fifth Prince...
Xia Lin bowed and said solemnly, "I will definitely live up to the Fifth Prince's trust!"
Xia Lin now understood the situation.
You don’t have to do anything yourself.
Some people willingly become the fuse that detonates landmines.
…
In the distant horizon, between dimensions.
Wang Yanshan and Wang Yangong live in the kingdom of God, monitoring the outside world.
The twelve levels of evil god transformations with different appearances and shapes, such as Hunger, Abyss, Degeneration, and Nothingness, stood scattered behind the two of them.
Poor Cheng Lin is no longer the only subordinate of the original master. He stands pitifully in an inconspicuous position, looking like a stray cat or dog abandoned by its owner.
Of course, this is just a joke... Cheng Lin himself has no awareness of this, and he will not do anything to fight for power and profit.
I just heard a heated discussion coming from the front.
"The situation at this moment is different from that of the Dark Realm. The two fake Immortal and Demon Emperors in the Dark Realm are living beings and cannot be controlled. But this formation is a man-made inanimate object and is completely controllable. In this case, with the abilities and caution of my brothers, I'm afraid there will be no room for trickery. Third brother, what are your thoughts on this situation?"
"Heh... no, big brother, I just want to know, you clearly arrived at the second floor earlier than the second and fifth brothers, so why did they take the lead?"
"You'll have to ask the guys behind me about that."
The tone of Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao San became more and more intense, and there was some discord between them.
——The collapse of the alliance not only refers to Wang Laoer’s alliance, but also to Wang Laoda’s alliance.
The two discussed for a long time but could not reach a conclusion.
Because as Wang Yanshan said, the situation on the second floor is indeed different from that on the first floor, and it has become more difficult to fish in troubled waters.
"Why don't we wait for the two uncles and a few brothers to enter first, and then use their formation to follow them?"
"That's not right, absolutely not right... I don't believe the second brother and his men are so kind as to leave a way out for future competitors. The right thing to do is to destroy it after use."
"Then we have to act quickly..."
"It's not right, it's still not right. We are still not strong enough, and the best outcome of a fight would be a mutual loss. Don't forget that the Fourth and Eighth Brothers and outsiders are watching closely. If we are not careful, we might end up making things difficult for others..."
"So, neither this nor that is right?"
"Cough cough cough..." During the quarrel, Hungry suddenly coughed twice, successfully attracting the attention of Wang Yanshan and Wang Yangong.
He bowed and said slowly, "I do have a plan. However, this plan cannot isolate the primordial force. It is only enough to destroy the extraordinary formation set up by those people outside."
In other words, this is a plan that harms others and does not benefit ourselves, and if I can't do it, you can't do it either.
Boss Wang, however, became interested: "It's better to lose both than to win alone, so why not tell me more about it."
Hungry said slowly: "The Great Prince seems to have forgotten that our greatest ability lies not in reality, but in the dark."
"We will exert our power in the dark, which is enough to stir up internal strife and discord between the two princes' rivals."
"When the time is right, the two princes can strike at the right moment, and then we can even the disadvantage."
The two Wang brothers looked at each other, and after asking carefully, they both nodded: "Then let's go ahead and do it."
The figures of Hunger and other evil gods' transformed bodies gradually disappeared and soon merged into the dark dimension.
On the dark side, the hungry people met again, all of them were very proud.
On the dark side, their plan is gradually progressing.
But in reality, the Wang family dominates the overall situation.
This is exactly the emphasis of the two six pillars, the King of Kings and the Original Lord.
In reality, the slower the Wang family members move, the greater the advantage that Hungry and others in the dark can create.
Until the threshold is reached and the balance is finally overturned!
This is a race against time.
…
Undercurrents are surging beneath the calm surface of the lake.
"Chu Chen" in the dark was the first to notice the actions of Hungry and others.
Qinglin Investment Company, where Chu Chen works, is located in Kyoto, one of the three most famous capitals in the world and one of the three super first-tier cities in the world.
Recently, whether in the news or through Chu Chen's own channels, we can learn that the crime rate in Kyoto has skyrocketed and business wars have become frequent.
There were also problems within Qinglin Investment Company.
The two vice presidents of the company, who were said to be close associates of the fifth and seventh sons of the Wang Group, completely fell out with each other.
Vice President No. 1 Yin Pa returned home and caught Vice President No. 2 in bed with his wife.
None of the parties involved are good people, and this matter cannot be considered a criminal law issue. At most, it is a personal morality issue.
The investment circle is quite chaotic and this kind of thing is not uncommon, but there is no doubt that the feud between the two vice presidents has been formed.
There is a sense of tension in daily work.
And this is just a microcosm of the overall situation.
The whole company was filled with a weird atmosphere, and the messy trivial matters made everyone in Qinglin Company anxious.
And things were triggered by people, so in a very short period of time, the relationship between people plummeted into the abyss.
Xia Lin naturally knew what this situation meant.
The eight adopted sons of the Wang family and the generals are protected by the King of Kings. The connection between the two dimensions of reality and the dark side is not close - even if they have symbols in the dark side, they will only be like Zhang Hai, similar to each other but will not interfere with each other.
But their subordinates did not receive such treatment.
The distortion of relationships in the dark side will inevitably be synchronized with reality.
"And the Lord of Hosts, success is due to power, and failure is also due to power."
In the dark dimension, Hungry sat in the office with his men and said with a smile.
"The strength of a military leader lies in all aspects. This profession may seem to have no weaknesses, but it does have one weakness that can't really be considered a weakness. That is, their control over their subordinates is not perfect."
"The military leader's control over his subordinates isn't brainwashing, but rather a form of surrender, a form of personal charisma, and an exchange of interests. In short, it's soft control."
"This also means that the Lord of Hosts' subordinates are not absolutely obedient puppets. They have their own thoughts and ideas, their own loves and hates, and their own cognitive logic."
"And the dark side is best at distorting other people's cognitive logic and changing their interpersonal relationships."
At the side, Slaanesh's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Boss, you can directly dissolve the subordinate relationship between the military leader and his subordinates?"
Hungry shook his head: "The Origin Lord can do it, but I can't... But there's no need to be so troublesome to deal with these Wang family members."
As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and puffed out the smoke.
“The affiliation is mutual.”
"Your subordinates are working for you, the military commander. You, the military commander, must help your subordinates. This is why I say that a military commander's success or failure depends on power."
My younger brother is in trouble, so as his elder brother, you have to express your opinion, right?
The Lord of Hosts who only knows how to take but not give will never reach level twelfth.
Because this kind of military leader has long lost the support of the people.
When people are united, they can move mountains.
The military leader’s power comes from only one source – numbers!
Most of the powerful military leader's skills depend on his subordinates.
If people are not united, they are useless!
"This means that the military commander's decisions will be coerced and influenced by his subordinates."
Hungry, cigarette in hand, walked to the French window, looked out at the street scene, and said faintly, "The Wang family members are unaffected by the Dark Dimension... but so what? Their power ultimately comes from their military commanders, their military advisors, their commanders! And as long as these people appear in reality, they will be absorbed into the Dark Dimension, forming a symbol here."
"Then, we only need to stir up trouble, for example, by encouraging the generals under Wang Laoer to develop hatred with the commanders under Wang Laowu... Maybe Wang Laoer and his men can suppress it once or twice, but I don't believe they can do it a hundred or a thousand times!"
"It's like a spring. The harder you compress it, the stronger it bounces back."
"And now..."
Hungry stubbed out the cigarette and slowly raised his hands.
“It’s time to bounce back.”
Just as he finished speaking, a loud explosion suddenly sounded in an office building in the distance!
The floor-to-ceiling window was destroyed by the shock wave, and a burning, twisted figure fell from the broken window. It free fell from the 35th floor and hit the ground, leaving a large bloody spot.
Hungry but looking at the thirty-fifth floor.
Then he could clearly see, at the broken window, a man with his whole body seething with white flames, breathing heavily, his eyes gleaming with the pleasure of revenge.
The murderer was Chen An, the top general under Wang Yanlin, the bachelor.
The deceased was Zhuge Ling, the top counselor under Wang Laoqi Wang Yanqing.
…
Xia Lin sensed the turbulent situation in the dark and felt the development of events in reality, but he remained unmoved.
He really just wanted to be a spectator...
Be it Wang Laoer's gang or Wang Lao Da and the hungry gang, they have nothing to do with Xia Lin.
In the current situation, Xia Lin can just watch and wait for an opportunity. There is really no reason for him to get involved in the open and secret struggles of these people.
In reality, a week has passed.
"Seventh Prince! Chen An killed Zhuge Ling! He killed my eldest brother! You have to stand up for us!!"
When angry shouts were heard from outside, Xia Lin ignored them. In a deserted place, Xia Lin collected the six-pillar power refined by the Spirit World Book, and then looked at the item description of the Spirit World Book.
As time goes by, the overlapping field of illusions continues to expand, and the original dark side power absorbed in reverse has successfully pushed the completion rate of the old dark side of the Spirit World Book to 60.3%!
The third stage ability of the Dark Side of the Old Ones: Call of the Old Ones, has already been activated.
[The third stage ability of the Dark Side of the Old Ones has been activated: Call of the Old Ones!
Call of the Ancients: In the Dark Side dimension, the skill cap you can master increases by two levels, allowing you to master up to S-level skills! At the same time, you can consume 10% of your Dark Side completion to summon projections from both the real world and the Dark Side.
In reality, when you summon a projection from the Dark Side, your Dark Side projection will transform into a replica with the same strength as you, assisting you in battle! The replica possesses all your abilities, but lacks your gadgets, and cannot stray too far from your original form.
In the Dark Side, when you summon a projection of reality, your projection will merge with you, giving you doubled attributes and temporarily raising all your skills by one level (the highest racial heritage level).
Note: No matter which dimension you activate this ability in, it will consume 10% of the dark side completion at once, and as the projection exists longer, you will consume more dark side completion! 】
[Note: When you raise the completion of the Dark Side of the Old Ones to 100%, you will activate the final stage ability of the Dark Side of the Old Ones: Two Sides in One!]
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Activating this ability in reality is equivalent to summoning another self.
Activating this ability in the dark side can greatly enhance one's combat effectiveness.
Whether in the real dimension or in the dark dimension, this ability is considered powerful, and Xia Lin has no complaints.
Of course, compared with the improvement in the completion of the Old Dark Side, the benefits of the power of the six pillars are the biggest - this place is too close to the original Dark Side body, and the Spirit World Book has suffered a huge blow.
However, in order to hide his true identity, Xia Lin only dared to let the Spirit World Book eat when no one was around, and did not dare to do anything when there were people around.
The one he was talking about was the Soul Binding Immortal.
This kid is really in the way.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Immortal power was swirling in the distance, and a bound spirit came from the air and landed beside Xia Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Chen, is the work here completed?"
Xia Lin nodded: "It's done."
Isn't it just setting a trap... Although Xia Lin doesn't have Chu Chen's skill set, it is more than enough to fool an outsider by picking a few similar skills from the recipe book and combining them randomly.
Hearing this, Fu Ling grabbed Xia Lin's hand and said with a smile.
"Let's go to the next place."
Xia Lin didn't suspect anything and followed Fu Ling away from here.
…
When Xia Lin followed the Soul Binding Immortal Venerable and left this formation dimension, the chaos in the outside world continued.
"Seventh Prince! Seventh Prince, you have to make the decision for us!"
Chen An and Zhuge Ling were actually just one of a series of events, but their identities were relatively higher.
Seven days in reality means several months in the dark side!
Such a long time is enough for the hungry group to do a lot of things.
The incident between Chen An and Zhuge Ling became the first fuse that ignited the powder keg.
Wang Yanqing's helpless voice echoed in the air.
"I will definitely give the Zhuge family an explanation for this matter, but for now, Second Brother Zhuge, please calm down. Believe me, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Whether to do something or not is another matter. But you have to make a promise first to reassure people.
The pure and innocent Wang Yanqing has always been thorough in her work, but to some extent, thoroughness can also be seen as indecisiveness.
Zhuge Ling's younger brother Zhuge Dan had tears and blood in his eyes, and his teeth were broken by his biting, but in the end, loyalty was the most important thing for him. He wiped his tears and obeyed the orders of his lord.
Just then, Xia Lin and Fu Ling arrived at the target location.
Standing at the entrance to the dimension, the bound spirit suddenly looked back, and an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next second, a light flashed.
One of Wang Laowu Wang Yanlin's main battleships suddenly turned its gun barrel and fired a shot at Zhuge Dan.
This was an execution in full view of the public! It also tore apart the situation that Wang Laoqi had carefully maintained!
Before Wang Laowu and Wang Laoqi could say anything more, countless energy fluctuations had already unfolded from all directions!
In the dark dimension, provoking relationships among Wang Jiazi's subordinates is just one of them.
There are many guys like the Bound Spirit who are secretly starved, lured and controlled!
With both hands ready to exert force, the chaos came unexpectedly.
Before Xia Lin could take any other action, the bound spirit had already pulled Xia Lin's hand and entered the dimensional barrier.
As the light and shadow suddenly changed, several figures appeared in front of Xia Lin.
"Is it cooked?"
The cold laughter of the bound spirit rang in my ears.
Xia Lin squinted his eyes and sighed deeply.
“Ripe…”
These are all the twelve-level abandoned generals of the Lord of Heaven.
Blue Witch, Fist Demon, Soul Singer, and Flame Demon.
The bound spirit gently stroked Xia Lin's shoulder and said calmly: "I need a level 12 sacrifice for this formation. After much thought, I think you, Chu Chen, are the most suitable."
"Although our failure has little to do with you, it is also a fact that you are a spy."
"You've broken our loyalty. You must compensate us. Paying with your life is a fair price. What do you think?"
Xia Lin thought about it and shook his head: "I don't think this is a good idea..."
