Must I be lost forever?
Sara was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
In his opinion, the virtual and real identities, and the method of stealing authority are the most important parts. In comparison, the authority of light should not be as obscure and profound as the authority of space.
But what no one expected was that what really attracted the attention of Lord Hantian was the seemingly insignificant authority of light.
"Do you know how long Daxu has existed?"
The Lord of Frost Sky sensed Salo's doubts and asked a question.
"How long has it existed..."
Salo was stunned for a moment, and said, "For us, the concept of time is not important. I don't even remember how long I was born, let alone before I was born."
"Indeed."
Lord Frost Sky agreed with this statement and said, "But if we really want to count, the existence of Great Ruins must be earlier than nothingness and reality. In such a long time, nothingness and reality have always maintained a state of equal strength. The only time nothingness overwhelmed reality was because the ring sky was broken... Do you know why?"
“Could it be…”
An incredible thought occurred to Salo, "Is it because of the loss of the authority of light?"
"That's right."
The Lord of Frost Sky confirmed Salo's guess, "Have you ever thought about this question? We, the Void, have no lifespan. Even if we are limited by our fruition and cannot be promoted to the first level, we can still become stronger endlessly."
"In comparison, no matter how powerful the real individuals are, they will eventually die of old age."
"In this case, theoretically speaking, our nothingness should be much stronger than reality. How come we have been held back by reality for so many years ?"
"because……"
The Lord of Frost Sky's thoughts suddenly sank, "The authority of light can curb the proliferation of nothingness."
"Suppress reproduction?"
Salo was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked: "It seems to be true! My body was only burned by him for one thousandth, but the speed of breeding the Seed of Nothingness decreased by one percent!"
"You are already very lucky. No, I should say that we are all very lucky."
The Frost Sky Lord's thoughts were extremely serious. "He is very weak now, and he has not stolen much authority of light. If he had the complete authority of light, even the entire wasteland would be illuminated. At that time, the pace of nothingness would be completely slowed down."
"……I see."
Salo no longer had any contempt, and said: "Then please, great Lord, immediately wipe out that illusion!"
"certainly."
The exchange between the two came to an end.
The huge purple mouth opened wide, continuously spewing out gray mist.
The gray mist did not spread out like Saro's body, but gathered together tightly, slowly growing from a tiny dot.
After a long time, the huge mouth closed and disappeared, and the gray fog condensed into an irregular sphere with a diameter of about an inch. It was pointed at the top and round at the bottom, with a purple leaf-like background at the bottom. The whole looked like a gray fruit.
"If you don't want to be degraded by this, just stand back."
The thoughts of the Lord of Frost were transmitted from the small fruit.
Without thinking, Salo quickly rolled back with his gray mist body, and did not stop until he could hardly be sensed.
At this moment, the purple leaves shook violently.
A circle of ripples visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with the leaves as the center.
In just a moment, it passed by Salo who had retreated far enough.
“This is it!!”
The fear in Salo's heart suddenly magnified, accompanied by waves of pleasure.
There is more than one Lord of Nothingness, so why would he spend so much effort, inquiring, traveling, and taking risks to find the Lord of Frost Sky?
It was because all he knew about that 'reality' was a name.
No other master has the ability to find or kill the other with just a name.
But the Lord of Frost can.
Because of an authority, a strange and powerful authority.
--curse.
"He's dead!"
Salo recalled one legend after another about the Lord of Frost Sky. The fear in his heart gradually subsided and he began to rejoice. "The Lord of Frost Sky was able to curse and kill the Emperor of Lianhuantian directly, let alone a third-class person? As for me... I will get huge benefits by helping the Will of Nothingness to kill the threat!"
After waiting for a while, the purple leaves finally stopped vibrating.
"Great Lord of Frost Sky, your power truly shocks Salo..."
Saro complimented as he moved closer in the rolling grey mist.
However, before he could finish his flattery, Lord Han Tian interrupted him.
"The real name you provided is false."
The Lord of Frost maintained the shape of the fruit, his mind filled with anger, "I activated the power of curse ten times, but did not get any feedback. This shows that in the entire wasteland, there is no one named 'Jiang Wang' who possesses both virtual and real status."
"this……"
Salo was completely stunned. "This is impossible. He himself told me the name Jiang Wang..."
"It's obvious that you've been deceived."
The Lord of Frost Sky's thoughts locked onto Salo, "You clearly knew that the other party was extremely cunning, yet you still believed him so easily that I wasted a lot of energy in vain."
“…”
Almost instantly, Salo reacted and cursed Xu Chong, whose name he didn't even know, in his heart.
Yes, that illusion retains the true cunningness, how could I forget this?
Damn it!
"You caused me to lose strength and greatly slowed down my speed of breeding the Seed of Nothingness. Even if I kill you completely, I will not go against the will of Nothingness."
The Frost Lord became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. His mind lock turned into mind suppression, suppressing Salo's gray mist body to the point of almost stagnation. "Of course, even if I have a reason, killing you will weaken the entire void. So, I suggest you give up all resistance and actively let me devour you. In this way, my lost strength can be replenished."
“…”
Salo was in tears.
He knew that even if the name 'Jiang Wang' was fake, Lord Hantian would not lose too much power because of it. The reason why he wanted to devour him was, firstly, he was angry about being fooled, and secondly, he relied on Youjue Chenji and he no longer had the protection of the Lord level.
But no matter what, we can't really let the Lord of Frost swallow us, right?
After thinking hard for a while, Salo finally came up with a solution.
"Great Lord Frost Sky, it is indeed because of my mistake that you have lost face, but I think that compared to pursuing my fault, the most important thing now is to kill that Xu Shi."
Salo's thoughts fluctuated continuously, fearing that he would be swallowed if he was slow for a moment.
"Kill? Are you mocking me?"
The Lord of Frost Sky became even more angry. "Even I, who has the power of curse, can't kill him when the information is wrong. How can I kill him? Please ask the Will of Nothingness to descend?"
"Master, please forgive me for my misunderstanding. Salo did not mean to mock you."
Salo quickly explained, "It's because the threat, real or fake, is too great. If we leave it alone, no one knows how far he will go in the future."
"You mean... you have a way to find him?"
The Lord of Frost Sky slightly suppressed his anger.
Compared to venting anger, it is definitely more important to nip this threat in the bud.
“No, the wasteland is too big, and he has the authority over space. Unless you are a master of the first-class status like you, you won’t be able to stop him even if you find him, let alone kill him.”
Salo responded cautiously, and seeing that Lord Frost was showing signs of getting angry again, he hastily added, "The best way is to find a way to allow you to have more power over curses."
"More curse authority?"
The Lord of Frost's heart was pounding.
"May I ask, Lord, how much curse power do you have now?"
Sarao asked, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Thirty percent.”
The Lord of Frost replied.
“Thirty percent…”
While being shocked by Han Tian's strength, Salo continued to convey his thoughts: "It's only 30%. You still need a name to cast the curse. If it's 50%, or even more, can only one virtual or real person be enough to cast the curse?"
"This... I'm not sure, but it's not impossible."
There was a hint of inexplicable meaning in the thoughts of Lord Hantian, as if he was actively cooperating with Salo.
"That's easy then."
Saro patiently said, "As far as I know, in the entire void, only the curse you stole has formed authority, but there are also many other individuals who have stolen the fur of the curse."
"In the past, without a reasonable reason, you could not attack the beings who were also void, and you could only let these cursed furs be occupied by them, but now it is different."
"As long as the real and fake threats are made public at the Feast of Nothingness..."
At this point, Salo paused deliberately, and then said meaningfully: "Do you think the Supreme Will of Nothingness will support you?"
The Lord of Frost was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, a huge mouth opened from the fruit and burst into anthropomorphic laughter.
“Hahahahahaha!”
“Good, very good!”
"Saro, your wisdom astounds even a person of the first rank like me."
…
…
Big ruins.
"It's worthy of being called Daxu, it's worthy of being called desolate, there's really nothing missing..."
Xu Chong switched to his true form and complained in frustration.
Ever since he escaped from Salo's hands, he has been moving in a fixed direction.
After all, there is no such thing as east, south, west or north in Daxu, nor is there any reference object to determine the direction. If you want to avoid going in circles, the only way is to just keep walking without turning.
Unfortunately, nearly a year had passed, and he hadn't even encountered the 'divine essence', or the gray fog, let alone the fragments of the sky ring.
Fortunately, Bai Yujing is here, so he can enter the place with his phantom body at any time to change his mood. Otherwise, if he continues to wander around in the ruins, Xu Chong suspects that he will go crazy sooner or later.
"or……"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Just use the power of space to move it?"
In fact, he had thought about this before.
But the problem is that this is Daxu, not Tianxuan Realm.
Although the distance span and speed of movement are greatly improved when the spatial authority is used for teleportation, it is limited by the barrenness of the Great Ruins. It is impossible to sense the general situation on the opposite side across a long distance like Zi Shou Po Tian in the Tian Xuan Realm, such as whether there are people there and how many people there are.
The consequence of blindly using the authority of space to move is likely to be crashing into the territory of some powerful being.
Taking this into consideration, Xu Chong never did so.
But during this year, he had moved the distance that he had used to the maximum extent of space teleportation nearly a hundred times, but in the end, he didn't see a single hair.
This made his mind start to wander.
“If the Great Ruins is really as huge as I can’t imagine, and I’m still so slow, it’s very likely that I won’t be able to touch the gray fog for a hundred years, let alone hunt and harvest divine essence… Never mind, at worst I can shorten the distance I move to within my sight. Even if I really encounter danger, I should have enough time to react.”
After careful consideration, Xu Chong decided to use his spatial authority.
However, just as he was about to open the crack, a vague and empty will, so weak as to be almost non-existent, suddenly descended and penetrated directly into his mind.
Xu Chong's whole body stiffened suddenly, but he quickly relaxed .
He couldn't explain why, but he just understood it naturally.
This is the true will.
"Could it be that because I devoured a portion of Salo's power, which was equivalent to weakening the void, the True Will came to reward me?"
A thought flashed through Xu Chong's mind, and then he tried to sense that will with interest.
However, after just a moment, he realized that he was overthinking.
This will was extremely weak and insignificant. Not to mention rewarding him, he could even actively expel it if he had the slightest thought about it.
The content expressed by the entire will has only one direction.
A direction that deviated greatly from his original path, probably diagonally upward on the left side.
"Are there any surviving humans over there?"
Xu Chong raised his head slightly, then looked straight again, looking at the direction he had originally intended to move to, "Or is there any danger ahead?"
If it is the former, then he can continue with his previous choice.
After all, he can no longer be considered a member of the pure real camp. If he really meets the survivors of Huantian, it is still unknown what attitude the other party will have towards him .
But if it's the latter...
The danger that the true will of labor can bring to remind him is definitely a danger that he cannot deal with at the moment.
Even death.
"Well, choose the lesser of two evils, which means I have no choice."
Xu Chong made a quick decision and changed the direction of progress.
If there is any existence that can raise the field of vision to the extreme and stand above the entire Daxu to observe, it can easily find that the Lord of Hantian is ahead of Xu Chong's previous path.
As for the direction pointed out by the true will, there is a door that is so dark that it almost merges with the ruins.
With the portal as the center, countless densely packed and extremely tiny particles, as tiny as dust, are scattered around. They are connected to each other and form a sphere, completely covering the portal.
