Secret prison.

The Rejoicer described the source of the True God's power in a low voice.

"The so-called igniting of the divine fire is just a popular term. Its essence is to use the source material to create an eternal soul core."

"Once the divine fire is ignited, it will burn forever, continuously providing divine power to the true god. However, unless it is continuously replenished with source essence, the size of the divine fire will remain unchanged, and the speed of providing divine power will not increase."

"If you are the only true god in the world, this is enough for you to live comfortably until the Great Nirvana Day."

"But this world is not peaceful, and competition is everywhere."

"If you don't want to be a prey that is always on the run, or a weak person whose fate is arbitrarily controlled by the strong, you have to keep getting stronger."

Rosen was already accustomed to competition, so he didn't feel the slightest bit nervous. Instead, he felt an urge to give it a try.

A thought occurred to him: "I wonder what changes will happen to Lai Fu's functions after the divine fire is ignited?"

He was not worried at all that Lai Fu would be damaged in the process, and he was not even afraid even if it was damaged.

Because if Lai Fu is really composed of source substance or a lower-level substance than source substance, then after becoming a true god, he can naturally use source substance to recreate Lai Fu.

If Lai Fu is not generated by the source material, but a higher existence, then there is no need to worry about it being destroyed.

In addition, he also noticed a trap set for him by the Joy-seeker.

Because she only said to help him ignite the divine fire, but did not say how to establish a mortal church, let alone how to extract the source from the souls of mortal believers.

I believe that once he successfully ignites the divine fire and feels the need, this person of pleasure will definitely offer more trading conditions.

"Hehe, I will pretend I don't know, but study it secretly."

At this time, the voice of the rejoicer came again.

"Your Majesty, most mortals in the world cannot sense the existence of Essence. Only the strongest mortals of the 23rd ring can vaguely sense Essence."

"And perception is the basis of control."

"So, your majesty, what you need to do next is to obtain a soul with a strength of 23rd ring in the shortest possible time."

Rosen spread his hands: "Oh~~ This is not an easy matter. I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

According to Tilalilin, it took her 1,300 years of practice to reach the 22nd ring.

Adela also said that the Queen of Pain, Egdelyn, had the best training resources in the Eternal Empire, but it still took her 1,118 years to become an eternal powerful being.

The Joyful One smiled: "It is indeed difficult for others, but Your Majesty, there is a lot of source essence in the depths of your soul, and you also hold the scepter of light condensed from the source essence in your hand. As long as you can find a 23rd ring environment and practice seriously, you should be able to advance to the 23rd ring in 3 years at most."

Where is the 23rd ring environment? His natural empire could not do this in a short period of time, and the half plane of the Dawn Empire was also destroyed.

In the entire solar star realm, only the abyss has such an environment.

In other words, he had to go into the abyss.

He believed that since the Joy-seekers were planning to enter this world, they must have carefully understood the situation of this world.

So, he looked embarrassed: "The abyss was frozen by the plane stagnation spell, and I entered it"

Sure enough, the Happy One immediately took up the conversation.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As far as I know, most areas of the Abyss have gotten rid of the influence of the plane stagnation spell. As long as you pass through a thin layer of stagnation membrane, the inside will be a normal time zone."

"Also, for safety reasons, you should enter the Abyss of Pain or the Abyss of Withering, and never enter the Abyss of Nightmare where Antowanji is."

This is natural.

But Rosen still has a worry: "Liv said that Antoine is building the Sun Bridge."

"That is indeed the case, but please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Sun Bridge is not that easy to build. It will take at least 20 years to complete. You have plenty of time to prepare."

Rosen couldn't confirm the authenticity of the information about the Sun Bridge.

But logically speaking, this is absolutely possible, and once it happens, the consequences will be extremely serious.

He was temporarily unable to verify the authenticity of the Sun Bridge, so to be on the safe side, he would rather believe it.

He finally asked: "What should I do after I reach the 23rd ring?"

"You do this."

As he spoke, the Joyer lightly snapped his fingers, and a spell book appeared out of thin air in front of him.

There is no title on the cover, just a picture of a flame burning in the place of the brain.

The book is very thick.

After Rosen took it, he quickly browsed through it page by page. It took him more than ten minutes to enter all the contents into Lai Fu's database. Then he handed the spell book back to the Joyer: "Thank you very much."

The Joyful One smiled slightly and said, "Then I will patiently wait for the day when Your Majesty lights the divine fire."

After saying this, the pastel-colored glow in Liv's eyes gradually faded, but when the glow was about to fade, she added, "Liv is a good helper in gathering intelligence. Your Majesty, if you can use her, feel free to use her. She will definitely not let you down."

"Thank you again for your generosity, Joy-seeker."

He will use Liv, because she is not only extremely capable, but is also essentially a pair of eyes that the pleasure seeker keeps by his side to monitor him.

The purpose of using her is to reassure the person who is having fun, so that she won't misjudge the progress of the cooperation.

After all, he is also an apostle of the true God, with good fighting ability and knowledge. When needed, you can ask him for help.

But you must keep a few tricks up your sleeve as a bargaining chip for self-protection.

The pleasure seeker then completely left, and Liv regained consciousness.

"How did your conversation with my master go, sire?"

"We have reached a cooperation. From now on, you are my Abyss Intelligence Officer. You will follow me into the Abyss and help me gather intelligence."

Liv nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to serve you."

Liv shook her head slowly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't know much about the abyss plane of this world for now."

Rosen was not disappointed because he had a more reliable source of information.

"Then you should have a good rest first. I will inform you before we leave."

As Rosen spoke, his mind moved, and the secret prison continued to expand and deform, quickly becoming the shape of a room.

Then, Rosen stepped back, activated the secret passage technique, and came to the room where the Adela sisters were resting.

When we arrived at the end of the field, we saw one of the sisters reading a book quietly, while the other was chewing snacks like a hamster.

After hearing the noise, Patnaros, who had been chewing non-stop, turned to look at Rosen: "Your Majesty, I have to say, these cookies are really delicious."

"Eat as much as you like, there's plenty."

He strolled over to sit in front of Adela, who had already put down her spell book and was waiting.

"Adela, I'm going to the Abyss of Pain."

Adela looked a little surprised: "Your Majesty, I think you can just send your men. There is no need to go in person."

Rosen shook his head and insisted: "I have to go in person."

After a pause, he asked again: "Why, is there any danger in the Abyss of Pain?"

Patnaros' voice came from the side: "Of course it is dangerous, and much more dangerous than the Dawn Demiplane."

Rosen asked curiously: "Tell me in detail."

"Antoine's idea of ​​destroying civilization did not remain on paper. He put it into many concrete actions."

As she spoke, Patnaros walked over to the bench where Rosen was sitting and sat down beside him.

"The process of the Queen sealing the three planes was not smooth sailing. There were many twists and turns, and huge sacrifices were made."

"Before the blockade, an extremely brutal high-energy war had already broken out within the three planes."

"Among them, there were more than 18 wars in which the death toll exceeded one million."

"As a result of the war, except for the Imperial Palace and the core area of ​​the Empire, which retained high power and imperial order, the rest of the area became a chaotic ruin."

Rosen spread his hands and said, "We humans are really good at killing."

He is good at killing other races, and he is also a top-notch master at killing his own race.

Patnaros sighed: "Who said it wasn't?"

Adela continued, "In fact, the situation in the Abyss is not much better than the current situation in the Lost Plane."

A look of emotion appeared on her face: "In addition, the class structure of the Eternal Empire has almost completely solidified."

"The upper class living in the core area of ​​the empire has no communication with the lower class living in the ruins."

"In the eyes of the lower classes, the core area of ​​the empire is the most beautiful paradise, and they try their best to squeeze into it."

"But in the eyes of the upper class, the core area is already crowded enough. Most of them hope that the former will never disturb them, and it would be best if they all rot to death in the high-energy ruins."

Rosen has a cyberpunk feel to it.

But he still caught a word.

"You said the vast majority? Does that mean there are still a few people who hold different opinions?"

Patnaros took over the conversation.

"Her Majesty the Queen wishes to restore the glory of the Eternal Empire. To achieve this, she needs talents, as many hardworking and limited-desire magicians as possible."

“But there are too few people in the core area, making talented people even fewer.”

"Even if they are talented, their temperaments are so comfortable that they are almost lazy, their vision is so short-sighted that they are almost stupid, and they don't really obey the Queen's orders."

"The Queen has always hoped to spread magic to the refugees in the ruins and provide various magic equipment, but a series of proposals have always been obstructed by the Eternal Empire, resulting in little success."

Rosen shrugged and said, "If you don't obey orders, why keep it? Why don't you clean it up?"

The two sisters' faces turned pale, knowing that if it were Rosen, the core area would definitely be cleansed by him.

But they all knew that the Queen did not have enough courage and ability to do this.

Adela shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, it's not that simple. The empire's intelligent steward protects the interests of every member of the core area. Even the emperor has to follow the rules."

Patnaros was much more direct: "Sister, although I am loyal to the Queen, the fact is that Her Majesty is incompetent in this matter."

After hearing this, Rosen had a general understanding of the situation in the Abyss of Pain.

Simply put, it is a pile of excrement crawling with maggots left behind by a mortal empire that was once extremely powerful and then weakened.

If we want to rebuild civilization from such filth, gentle means will be useless; we must have the most thorough cleansing.

But this has nothing to do with his goal, and he is too lazy to meddle unless it is necessary.

He insisted: "So, you can take me into the abyss of pain, right?"

The two sisters nodded at the same time, but then shook their heads.

Adela said, "Your Majesty, it's easy to get in but hard to get out."

Patnaros said: "Your Majesty, I will not stop you, but I suggest you send someone to explore the way first."

Rosen nodded: "I have received your advice. I will do my best to prepare myself and enter the abyss of pain with the most cautious attitude."
