"Spacetime was torn apart, and a swarm of dark beasts descended from the darkness. The warriors were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses."
"Yao issued a call for troops from millions of civilizations to support and build a defense line relying on the River of Life."
"Every day's casualties are counted in trillions, countless strong men fall in the darkness, and the days of brilliant stars are ended in the haze."
"The defense line is full of loopholes. The Lord of Darkness led the Sky Patrol Clan to travel all over the place, barely maintaining the stability of the defense line."
"Heroes emerge in troubled times. Many civilizations have stepped forward to stabilize the defenses in times of crisis, paying a heavy price. To recognize these civilizations, Yao has established the honorary title of 'Immortal'."
"The dark universe has been repelled, and the divine realm has returned to peace and tranquility."
The content of the second stone tablet ends here.
[Mainly tells the story of the first divine realm war and explains the origin of the immortal race]
Chen An noticed a word.
"Who is the Lord of Darkness? Have we encountered similar information along the way?"
The Lord of Darkness is likely the leader of the Sky Patrol Clan, playing a steward-like role in the Divine Realm. His power is at least that of a Great Emperor. There are other stone tablets ahead. Do you want to continue examining them?
"Of course I want to see what happens next."
Chen An traveled forward and soon arrived at the third stone tablet.
He could read clearly on his own without Fuyao doing it for him.
"The Dark Universe has made a comeback, but we are fully prepared. We will face the Dark Beast with a heavy blow and gain a lot of advantages."
"The River of Life has become a solid and unshakable line of defense. The Sacred Tree provides us with ample resources. We will surely win this war."
"However, no one expected that there would be a traitor among us. Those civilizations had long been eroded by the dark universe and were wreaking havoc in the rear, turning the tide of the war."
"Dark beasts invaded the main universe, and all-out war broke out. This war lasted for seven million years, causing the main universe to undergo irreversible decline and countless civilizations to be wiped out."
"Humans, silicon-based creatures, mimics, voids, Zerg, etc. all joined the battle, but they still couldn't do anything to the Dark Beast."
"Yao finally took action. With a single word, he killed billions of dark beasts and, with a flick of his finger, destroyed all the enemies in the universe. However, his appearance attracted even more powerful enemies."
"The gods have fallen, and the divine realm has collapsed. The dark universe continues to invade. Civilization must either surrender or be destroyed. There is no way out."
"At a critical moment, the mysterious man repaired the rift in time and space, blocking the main force of the dark universe from entering, thus ensuring the survival of the main universe."
…
The above is the entire content of the stone tablet. After reading it, Chen An just sighed twice and didn’t know what to say.
[It's reasonable to speculate that the god Yao didn't dare to appear because the other gods were looking for him. In the end, he had no choice but to come out to solve the urgent problem, but he was besieged by the gods and fell.]
Chen An said in a deep voice: "They may not want the emergence of new gods. Yao is a special case, so he must be suppressed. Is there any stone tablet?"
【There is another one behind】
The fourth stone tablet is very rich in content, but it shows how powerful the dark universe is.
"The number of Dark Beasts can be calculated in Jing, and there are countless powerful emperors. Even the Lord of Darkness has joined them. It can be said that they accept everyone who comes."
Chen An was too lazy to look at it carefully, so he asked Fu Yao to write down the information, as it would definitely be useful in the future.
He continued to explore beyond the stone tablet, but suddenly felt a strange vibration.
Then I saw stars lighting up in all directions, and millions of lights dispelling the darkness.
"Is that... an eye?"
The points of light are not stars, they are all eyes.
People with trypophobia will die instantly when they see this scene.
"Chen An, your ability to come here is beyond my imagination."
The sound was clear and high-pitched, coming from all directions, and its specific location could not be detected.
Chen An looked around for a while and asked loudly, "Who are you?"
"I am the Lord of Dark Night, or Dark Night for short."
Chen An's heart was shaken, but his expression remained calm.
"Hello, Senior An Ye. May I ask where this place is?" He tried to be as friendly as possible.
"You can enter my body, but you don't know where this is? Haha, it doesn't matter. We'll know everything once we get to know each other."
It turns out that they are in his body, which means that those eyes are his.
Chen An asked, "Are you leading me here?"
"No, I was trying to stop you from coming, but I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve. You could even easily break through my plan. I'm going to give you an opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
Dark Night said something shocking.
"Become a great emperor and rule over the universe. The starry sky you see and hear is all yours, even the divine realm can be yours."
"So what's the price?" Chen An asked calmly.
The Lord of Darkness replied: "The price is submission to darkness, and sharing the throne with me."
This made Chen An feel relieved. There is indeed no free lunch, and the price must be huge.
According to An Ye, if he wants everything, he must be a traitor and betray the human race.
No, it is to betray the entire main universe.
"Why me?"
Dark Night said: "The master chose you, I don't know why."
"What if I refuse?"
After a moment of silence, An Ye said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. We can offer you even more benefits. We will satisfy all your desires, even if you want to become the supreme emperor of the main universe."
Chen An chuckled: "If I want to become a god and live forever, can you help me?"
"I can't make a decision on this matter. Please wait."
While waiting, Chen An and Fu Yao communicated in their minds.
The master behind the Lord of Darkness is called Darkness. He should be the ruler of the dark universe and is on the same level as the Eternity we first saw.
"Do you remember that we were recruited by the gods during our previous trials? Could it be a similar existence?"
[It's very likely that your presence makes some gods uncomfortable, so they spare no effort to recruit you.]
"Or destroyed."
"Master, if darkness can truly satisfy all your desires, will you agree? Submission to darkness means accepting the transformation of dark energy. This is another form of strengthening, completely different from transcendence."
"It's just talk. I can't possibly betray Chaofan. Suddenly, I thought of the Civilization Screening Program. Li Chunfeng had put all his efforts into fighting against the dark energy. But they were too powerful. Although I've only seen a small part of it, I feel a heavy pressure."
Just as he was saying this, the voice of the Lord of Darkness came from outside: "The master promises that as long as you submit, he can help you become a god within 300 million years and achieve eternal immortality."
Chen An chuckled twice.
"That's bullshit! You want to trick me into accepting dark energy transformation, and then go back on your word when I don't have a chance to resist. Do you really think I don't know? Let me tell you about the darkness behind this. I, Chen An, have brains and I'm not some fool who can be easily transformed."
As soon as he finished speaking, eyes in all directions flashed wildly, showing the Lord of Darkness's violent mood.
"Well, since you won't surrender, I'll have no choice but to enforce it."
Countless beams of light shot towards Chen An.
Upon closer inspection, I found that the beam of light was actually light black.
