Chapter 1956: Chapter 1956: King
Li Yao sneered: “If the Titan is a Titan that has not been corrupted, as for how many times this Titan’s consciousness and form have been destroyed, they don’t care. Since you know the Ulduar furnace can reshape the Star Soul, then do you know that the Uldum furnace can destroy the world? Once activated, all life in the Old God Plane will be exterminated, including elements. This world will be reshaped, restoring the unknown element era from tens of thousands of years ago. This is the Titans’ two-pronged approach, even the Guardians are divided into several factions, Guardians, Overseers, Executors, and even Guardian Dragons, all to ensure the will of the Temple of a Thousand Gods can be carried out.”
“Wrong, still wrong.” The enchantress shook her head: “If it’s really as you say, Titans would just reshape the Star Soul, why create two sources to nourish the Star Soul and planet instead?”
Li Yao sneered: “That’s because the Ancient God World, this main plane, is one of the topmost planes of the main plane. They were overjoyed to discover it because if the Star Soul achieves Titanhood, it would once again birth a Divine King level, greatly boosting the strength of the Temple of a Thousand Gods.”
“The universe is too vast, even for Titans returning to a place, it’s measured in tens of thousands of years. Even for places they care about, wanting to return repeatedly is somewhat beyond their abilities. When they arrived the second time, they found the Star Soul was already corrupted, and the Titans of the Temple of a Thousand Gods were furious.”
“Thus, the war between the Old God Legion and Titan Legion erupted, and what made the Temple of a Thousand Gods even more infuriated was that their Guardian Legion couldn’t achieve victory. The Divine King went mad and crushed the most rampant Old God Y’Shaarj with one hand.”
“This issue has a catch. Think about it, the Temple of a Thousand Gods and the Void have probably been fighting for billions of years. Would they not know that the parasitic Old God would integrate with the planetary entity? Would they not know the Old God is essentially a corrupted Star Soul from another plane? So the question remains, since they know this, why crush Y’Shaarj? It seems like killing an Old God, but in reality, the corrupted originating Star Soul was severely wounded, even causing immeasurable damage to this plane.”
“Since they already knew, why do such a thing? Because they wanted to obliterate the corrupted Star Soul. To compensate for such damage, they built two sources to heal the damage, replenish the Star Soul, and accelerate the growth of the Star Soul. Moreover, they constructed two furnaces to correct the development of the Ancient God World and prepared for its extinction.”
“They just didn’t anticipate the Moon God being exceptional, her consciousness not entirely obliterated, and quickly transforming relying on the two sources. She refused corruption, surpassing the Star Soul, manifesting the moon, and even severed herself to separate the Blue Boy, achieving True Deity in the Ancient God World’s pinnacle main plane’s intact Law. Although she would not be corrupted, she also didn’t want to align with the Temple of a Thousand God’s Titans.”
The enchantress was enlightened: “If what you say is true, then what is the Star Soul now?”
“The current Star Soul can only remain as a Star Soul, estimated to be a pure Law body, probably unable to generate consciousness. However, this is unclear, maybe it will birth some new Titans in the distant future.”
Li Yao said uncertainly.
“You speak of things too distant, let’s continue exploring below.” The enchantress sighed, the Ancient God World is too real, it’s inevitable that one gets immersed, even she herself sometimes gets confused whether she is a person in reality or truly an assassin.
Descending to the lower levels, they discovered it was full of tombs. The two had become numb, witnessing the terrifying might of the powerhouses within these Great Tombs, neither of them could tomb raid successfully. In these layers, they hadn’t really gained anything.
As they descended to the sixteenth level, the scene shifted, and they found themselves in a peculiar setting.
The setting sun, fiery clouds burned across the horizon, appearing extraordinarily beautiful.
The ground was covered in various flowers, the air full of floral fragrance, a gentle breeze lightly blowing, petals falling like rain, resembling a dream-like world.
Their feet crushed the ground with a rustling sound, seemingly not on an adventure, but like a couple on a romantic outing.
“What’s going on?” the enchantress said in surprise.
“Hard to say. Based on the structure of this Great Tomb Pyramid, the deeper, the higher the status. Initially, hundreds share a tomb chamber, then exquisite coffins, then a single person with a tomb chamber and sarcophagus, followed by individual tombs and even cosmic mimicry. At this point, resembling a real world, it must be a tomb too, but this tomb’s status is higher.
“Higher than the Pope’s status, what would that be?” The enchantress frowned: “Kings of various races, but wouldn’t this be unrelated to this church?”
Li Yao chuckled: “In the previous levels, you see the titles of these tomb owners, Firebearers, Soul essence, Fire adders, but don’t you think there’s a missing title?”
The enchantress seemed enlightened: “Genesis Furnace, or Origin Furnace is maintained and spread by the Firebearers, is it possible?”
“Hehehe, smart little beings from a Different Dimension, your guesses are correct, we are Firebearers, more precisely revered as Salary Kings by all people. Each generation only has one Salary King, and Salary Kings cannot be inherited, though there are ages without one.”
A graceful voice appeared in their ears, then a figure in tight leather clothing, shrouded in a layer of gauze, came elegantly towards them, her appearance seemed hazy, with a veil covering her face.
But those eyes were enchanting and captivating, no one would doubt the unparalleled beauty under the veil, unconsciously drawing people’s gaze, making them intoxicated.
Li Yao sighed: “The fifth generation Firebearer, also known as the Dancer Salary King, truly exceptionally seductive.”
“Oh? Little ones aren’t bad, recognizing me at first sight.” The Dancer laughed lightly.
“It’s not surprising, the cathedral hall has a throne for each generation Salary King, totaling eight, six being male. Female Salary Kings are only the third and fifth generation, the third generation Salary King should be the Great Witch, depicted as mysterious Mage holding amulets and Magic Books. Considering the setting, guessing your identity isn’t difficult,” Li Yao said.
The enchantress also added: “This big sister is also clever, meeting us and recognizing we’re not from this Sub-dimension.”
“A small dimension, is that what we’re termed by guests from the main dimension?” The Dancer sighed.
“More accurately, a small dimension within the Sub-dimension.” Li Yao corrected.
“I’m curious, how did big sister know we don’t belong to this dimension at first sight?” The enchantress asked.
The Dancer slightly shook her head: “You have no flame aura despite carrying torches. In our world, everyone possesses a flame aura, we are all firewood, willing or not, but you are different.”…
