Three days later.
On August 16, 1033 of the new calendar, the Undead Army and the Rhine People's Army escorted 80,000 prisoners of war from the Gordon Plains to the Port of Narasi.
The port of Narasi, which had just been trampled by the Undead army less than a week ago, had no will to resist. The Lord of Narasi, who was forced to sign a peace agreement, personally ordered people to open the city gates and let the enemy pass. Not only did he tolerate the enemy to repair in his own territory, he also "indulged" the Rhine People's Army to requisition Narasi Port's ships to transport prisoners.
It took four days to transport 80,000 prisoners of war by ships from Narashi Port and Moshi Port, and it was not until the 20th that all the prisoners were transported...
During this period, the whole of Kashmir... no, the whole federation remained strangely silent, and no army was sent to Narasi Port to attack, interfere with or prevent the Rhine people from transferring federal prisoners of war.
On the afternoon of August 20, the Rhine people transferred the last batch of prisoners of war; the next day, the Rhine people returned the requisitioned ship from Narasi Port and settled the fees, and all the personnel boarded the ship and left Kashmir.
The "Rhine Defensive Counterattack" that lasted for half a month came to an end.
The army of players who participated in the "continuous battlefield activity" for seven consecutive days (Earth time) returned with great satisfaction, and the Rhine people who gained more than 100,000 strong laborers were eager to start large-scale construction.
Kashmir lost nearly half of its elite troops, the royal family's prestige plummeted, King Basaro was stripped of his seat in the King's Council and was forced to abdicate.
Rebellions are raging in Kashmir, and the neighboring Principality of Lionel is also affected...
All the national and regional forces in the eastern part of the entire Nabarron continent have turned their attention to the Storm Church; they are waiting for the Storm Holy Land to respond with expectation, trepidation, or anxiety.
The usually powerful Church of Storms...didn't make any move this time.
It was not until late September, when news of the new pope's succession came out in the Holy Land of Storms, that people began to vaguely realize something...
The Rhine Kingdom, another focus of Easterners' attention, is much more lively than the Storm Church, which has always remained silent.
The Rhine Kingdom, which challenged the Norsk Federation with the strength of one country... no, with the strength of half a country and returned victorious, was not at peace in the month after the end of the war.
First, the two northern leaders bypassed the capital's central government and surrendered to the Undead regime. Then, a scandal of royal treason broke out. The Undead regime demanded that Prince Hood, who had attracted foreign enemies, be confiscated of his property and put in prison. The regime negotiated repeatedly with the capital. In early September, when people were still anxiously wondering whether the Church of the Storm would retaliate against the Rhine, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of the Rhine royal family rebelled and almost turned the entire capital into a battlefield. It was not until His Majesty the King summoned the Undead army that the rebels were suppressed.
At this point, the power of the Rhine Kingdom fell into the hands of His Majesty King Andrew the Younger - at least that's what it seemed to the outside world.
But what confused the people in the East was that... by the Winter Festival of 1033, the King of the Rhine, who had just sat on the throne for less than three months, publicly announced his abdication through the New Rhine State Radio.
No more successors will be chosen.
The countries of the Federation were shocked, and the people of the East were shocked. Even the people of Middle-earth and Sokri, who could receive the signal of the New Rhine National Radio, suspected that the Rhine King had a mental problem, or that he had offended the Nightmare Butcher he followed and was being taken advantage of...
In the capital of the Rhine, little Andre, who was finally able to move out of the cold palace with his mother, heard the criticism from outside and complained to his mother in private: "These people are really nosy. If they want to be king, can't they just do it themselves? Oh, no, I overestimated those idiots. People who say such stupid things can't even pass the exam to become ordinary operators."
Princess Harriet…no, Lady Harriet smiled with a forced smile.
Compared to her son who had long accepted the ruling philosophy of the Undead regime and was quite open-minded about power, Mrs. Harriet was actually quite unwilling in her heart, but she could also understand her son's situation and said disappointedly: "Times have changed... Who made us catch up with this time."
"Mother, haven't you figured it out yet?" Little Andre was a little confused. "The greater the power you enjoy, the greater the responsibility you must bear. You must be responsible not only for yourself but also for your subordinates. Even a cautious person like Mr. Barton has fallen. Do you still expect me to sit on the throne forever?"
After a pause, Little Andre added, "If the times hadn't changed, I wouldn't even be able to be king for half a year. Who in the Rhine clan would tolerate me sitting on the throne? I never know when I'll be beheaded by my elder brother."
"Don't say such unlucky and stupid things!" Mrs. Harriet scolded her son, calmed down, and sighed, "Okay, I'm not that stubborn person, let's not talk about this anymore."
The king voluntarily abdicated, and the royal palace was recovered as state property and converted into the administrative center of the kingdom, but the "family property" of the Rhine clan still belonged to the old royal family - well, only the legal part. For example, the traitorous Prince Hood and the rebellious eldest prince could not keep their family property at all.
Mrs. Harriet and her son did not originally have much private property, but... after settling the guilty third prince and hanging the rebellious eldest prince, the only inheritance left by the old king was the second prince and the three heirs, mother and son...
According to the new Rhine Constitution, as a widow, Mrs. Harriet can get half of the old king's inheritance, and little Andrew and the second princess will share the other half. Although it can't be compared with owning the entire kingdom, the mother and son are not poor at the moment - they have several residences in the inner city of the capital, several luxurious villas in the eastern part of King's Harbor, and a holiday estate in the suburbs of the capital...
After settling his family belongings in a luxurious villa in the eastern part of King's Harbor and becoming neighbors with the chief court wizard Needham, little Andre returned to the palace excitedly.
At this time, a new plaque had been hung in the royal palace - the State Administration Headquarters of the Kingdom of the Rhine.
The State Council, which is a bit difficult to pronounce in the common language of this world, is now the place with the largest number of undead wise men... There is the Gallows Organization, which almost collapsed internally after two months of "autonomy", and the Odysseus Family, which envied the development trend of the Rhine after occupying the entire Rose Kingdom, and the Undead Archons who they frequently wrote letters and sent telegrams but still could not get . There are as many as six undead archons in the State Council.
As for the Principality of Shiga... Brother Lowell, an old friend of the Tarantan Undead, does not need to beg for help, as the Undead Archon there has already been arranged, and various cooperation projects have been completed in one go; the Territory of Saint Turis has only been in operation for more than a year and has developed quite well, comparable to the Territory of Adler.
After the Storm Church became sluggish, the Prosperity Church, which had been secretly competing with Lord Saint Turis, even bowed to Brother Lowell, probably because they were afraid that the Nightmare Butcher would come to their place to "drop by" someday - after trampling on the holy sites of two major orthodox sects and remaining unscathed, the Prosperity Church was really afraid of this lawless black magician.
In short...the six Undead Archons that the outside world envied were actually not that easy to deal with.
As soon as little Andre entered the former main hall of the royal palace, now office building No. 1, he heard the voice of an undead archon sternly questioning the Lord of Adler, Coulson O'Neill.
Count O'Neill, who came to the capital to report on this year's work summary, saw little Andre passing by and looked at him for help.
Little Andre did not dare to respond to the count, with whom he had once had a pleasant experience on the same ship, and walked past him without even looking away.
After entering his own office and putting down his personal belongings, Andrei the Younger came over to him as an operator who had a good relationship with him.
"Prince, are you really not going to compete for Lord Tachia?"
"Don't call me prince, I'm not one anymore." Little Andre said casually while sorting his personal belongings, "I don't have the ability of Rex, so forget it."
"If you don't go, there will be even fewer people to be selected." The operator said regretfully.
"What about you? Why don't you go?" Little Andre asked curiously, "With your qualifications, you should have been qualified for the election, Sam."
The lords and city lords in the Rhine now adopt a system of internal voting and nomination in parallel - the former is voluntary, while the latter has no choice and whoever is nominated will be elected; for example, Anthony, a Kenyan who was thrown into the northern territory to be a lord, was escorted away by Mr. Yang in person with a pale face, and even Tattle Joe did not dare to plead for him.
Operator Sam Hank laughed dryly and said expressionlessly, "Do you think I'm a fool? How much money has Tachia invested in developing the mountain mineral resources? As soon as I took office, I had to bear the regional government debt of several million gold coins, and I can't pay off the interest every year. So many people pretended to be sick to avoid this matter, and ran away. I won't get involved."
Little Andre was shocked: "Then why did you encourage me to run?!" After a pause, the former king reacted, "Okay, you are afraid that if no one runs for election, Mr. Yang will send someone, right?! You are worried that you will be selected, right?!"
Sam Hank, who has extensive experience, has worked in various positions and even participated in the defensive counterattack, denied it righteously: "How could it be!"
"Look into my eyes when you speak!!"
Shortly after the Winter Festival, Andre Jr. received his election certificate and voting card for internal voting.
On the list of candidates who volunteered to run for election, his mother, Mrs. Harriet, was named...
"--mom!"
The debt-ridden Tachia County was so bad that even Hal Maxwell, who was eager to show off, pretended to be dead and kept silent. Mrs. Harriet, who volunteered to run for the election, was elected without any suspense.
Tuttle, who had escaped to the north to visit Anthony, was also relieved when he heard this.
"If you ask me, you can just pick a small city and be the lord. There won't be so much work that will make you want to die, and the treatment is not much worse than that of a big lord. Right, Anthony?" Tattle said happily.
"...Get out of here!" The Kenyan man was furious.
"Hahaha, get out of here, get out of here." Tuttle stood up with a smile, "Westham doesn't need me anymore. I have to run for the position of city lord, so as not to be caught off guard and tricked like you."
After playing tricks on his companions, Tattle went to visit his hometown city before returning to the royal capital.
Tattle, who was born in the Northern Territory, still has a lot of feelings for his hometown. He went back to his hometown to meet with old friends. Then, Tattle returned to the capital to participate in the next round of local lord elections and filled in the name of his hometown city on the election form.
If he is elected as the Lord of the Northern Territory, he will become Anthony's subordinate; if he makes a mistake at work, Anthony will have to clean up his mess and take the blame for him... It feels very pleasant.
When Anthony learned of Tuttle's plan, he sent several telegrams to the State Council in the capital to protest...
Jerome, who had been diligently expanding the army and training soldiers, heard about the "love and hate" of his former comrades, smiled and shook his head, and continued to devote himself to his training - the Rhine People's Army exposed many problems during the defensive counterattack, and he had to try his best to make up for all the shortcomings before the next Eastern Expedition.
Hal did not participate in this round of local lord election; this former bandit leader with the most violent temper originally wanted to run for election, but he changed his mind after Yang Qiu gave him a suggestion.
Ji Tang, who had just returned from the Principality of Shiga, heard about Hal's "career plan" and laughed so hard that he slammed the table: "No way, Hal is going to the capital to study law and become a chief justice?"
"Don't underestimate him. Hal is really good at dealing with villains. In the three years he has been in charge of the prisoner road repair team, few of the people released have committed repeated crimes. Even Yang agrees with his talent." Rex said with a smile, "It's not easy for someone with a guilty conscience to deceive Hal. As long as he can correct his character, he is still very suitable to be the chief judge of the kingdom."
Ji Tang said "uh", there is really nothing wrong with this statement...
Since the people of this world are willing to place their trust in Hal, Ji Tang naturally wouldn't have too much objection, and said, "I remember you are from the North. Don't you plan to go back and run your hometown like Tuttle did?"
"To be honest, I did think about this before the Winter Celebration." Rex sighed and smiled, "But I still can't let go of Innadri...at least not now. Let's talk about it in a few years."
"That's fine, you're still young anyway." Ji Tang said indifferently, "I heard from Sister Zhao that the State Council called for aid to build the Northern Territory. Innadeli Territory has issued a lot of compulsory tasks. Can you handle it?"
Speaking of this, Rex sighed even louder, complaining: "I'm not saying that those undead wise men are too harsh. Although Inadelli started a little earlier, he can't catch us all -"
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it!"
Ms. Shirley, who was assigned to study at the Royal Capital State Administration Headquarters, also raised the same question: "Isn't this a bit too bad for Innadri? Rex already sent a lot of people last year, and it won't be that fast to train new people..."
The retired veteran cadre of the national team who controlled the bodies of the dead slapped Ms. Shirley on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiaoxue, you can't be biased just because you have special feelings for Innadri. Innadri is the territory of Rhine, but the Northern Territory is not? Innadri wants to develop, so the Northern Territory should not develop?"
"Let the advanced lead the backward, and common development is the fundamental, and other ideas are unacceptable. What we should consider is how to mobilize the advanced Innade Li Territory to more effectively and reasonably lead the backward northern territories, rather than internal division, separatism, occupying land for the sake of kingship, and factionalism. What kind of talk is that!"
Ms. Shirley had a cold sweat on her forehead and listened obediently to the lecture.
After finishing a day of advanced studies and returning to the dormitory, which was originally a side hall of the royal palace, Ms. Shirley murmured to her roommate Ms. Sibel with lingering fear: "I thought it was strange that Ms. Zhao arranged for me to come for advanced studies, and I was thinking about how to avoid it... Fortunately, I didn't do anything stupid."
"That's right." Ms. Sibel, whose worldview had also been refreshed by the national team for several days, said with emotion, "Shirley, I'm glad I didn't run for the Tachia Lord on impulse. If I hadn't come to the capital, how would I know that I'd be so bad?"
The two ladies chatted for a while, and then someone from the dormitory next door came to visit.
The one who came to visit was Mrs. Hank. This lady who was also arranged to come for further studies closed the door as soon as she came in and said mysteriously: "Have you heard that the Department of Justice is going to be reformed? I heard that it will be divided into two departments, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Procuratorate. The Logistics Department will also be reorganized, and the previously abolished Municipal Police Department will also be restored. Many positions will be added in city halls ..."
Ms. Shirley frowned when she heard this: "Will the heavily indebted city hall be financially unable to support the addition of so many departments?"
Ms. Hibel said pleasantly: "This is great. There are more jobs that children can apply for."
The two ladies were stunned at the same time and looked at each other.
"You can't just think about solving your students' employment problems. A highly indebted local government like Creek City simply can't afford so many new departments. Apart from anything else, where will the funds come from?" Ms. Shirley said disapprovingly.
"But this way there will be more people who can do things, and many problems that can be solved with manpower will not have to be piled up until the end of the month or quarter for emergency processing. Isn't it a good thing that the efficiency of city hall operations will be improved?" Ms. Hibel also disagreed with the other party's opinion.
Mrs. Hank just wanted to gossip and ask which department her family was suitable for, but in the blink of an eye, she was completely unable to get a word in...
In Nadeli, Ji Tang gave the high-quality seeds he brought back to Rex and prepared to return to the Principality of Shiga. As soon as he came out of the municipal building, he saw Wagner Peter walking into the municipal compound with a young man who looked somewhat similar to him.
"Wagner? When did you come from New Town?" Rex asked in surprise.
Ji Tang also raised his hand and greeted this old brother whom he hadn't seen for many days.
"The public school in the city is about to start, so I brought this brat to register." Wagner looked unhappy and slapped the young man he had brought over, causing him to stagger. "I've been too busy in the new town these past two years and didn't have time to take care of this brat. He almost pissed me off to death!"
The young man glared at his father angrily, then smiled at Rex in a servile manner: "Uncle Rex."
"What did he do to make you so angry?" Ji Tang said with a smile.
"I can tell at a glance. Look, you only look happy when you see Rex!" Wagner's face turned even uglier. He pointed at his son and cursed, "Listen to me, stay here and study honestly from this year on. I won't give you a penny, and your uncle Rex will not indulge you!"
Rex could tell that the usually good-tempered Wagner was really angry, so he stepped forward and advised, "Calm down, man, and talk slowly if you have anything to say."
"I don't know where this little bastard learned this bad habit, but he's acting like the eldest son of a lord!" Wagner said bitterly, "Not long ago, Walton told me that this brat actually wanted to put anyone who had a conflict with him in jail. Walton, maybe, he even dared to get angry at Walton!"
Rex and Ji Tang, who were as good-tempered as Wagner, looked at this "young master" Pete with a strange look in their eyes...
“It has come to this. I guess the school alone can’t cure it.” Ji Tang shook his head.
"I think so too. Let's send him to Tarantan for training before Hal is transferred away." Rex nodded.
When Master Pete heard the words Hal and Tarantan, he panicked. He couldn't believe that these words were actually said by Uncle Rex, who had given him a red envelope before: "What on earth are you talking about?! Don't scare me, I'm not afraid of you!"
What shocked Master Pete even more was that his father, the New Town Lord Wagner Pete, thought about it seriously for a while and actually nodded: "You have considered it comprehensively. I didn't think of this method."
As he said that, the warrior took a half step forward, picked up his son and walked out: "Then I'll take him over and meet Ji Tang, Rex, and I'll come and have a drink with you later."
Master Pete struggled desperately, howling and shouting: "I won't go! I did nothing wrong! I'm your son, why can't I deal with those who look down on me?! Not only did you not help me, but you tortured me! Are you my father?"
Veins popped out on Wagner Pete's forehead. He didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not. He grabbed his son and spanked him on the spot: "Shut up! You want to decide other people's fate based on your likes and dislikes. I, your father, also have the power to decide your fate based on my likes and dislikes!"
"Do you know that your father even risked his life to prevent others from deciding the fate of our family based on their likes and dislikes?! You look down on the life your father risked, don't you?!"
When Wagner thought about the time when he had tried his best for the Bartles family but was still helpless, his eyes began to redden and he beat his son even harder.
Rex stroked his chin and "admired" Wagner who was beating his son, and said to Ji Tang: "It's a pity that Wagner didn't go to the capital to study."
"I think so too. The lord of Adler can't be relied upon. Why don't you recommend him to Sister Zhao?" Ji Tang also said, touching his chin.
Adler leads a new town in the south, and Walton Ben Ham, who helps his partner Wagner look after the house, welcomes a new colleague.
"welcome."
After seeing the visitor's appearance clearly, Walton remained calm and extended his hand very naturally.
Ross Jonathan Mansfield, the former head of the Kenyan investigation team, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Walton with a complicated expression.
The two old acquaintances, who also came from the Kenyan Empire's Fiery Sun Church, stared at each other for a few seconds before letting go of each other's hands.
"I know you are not really willing to work for the Undead Regime." Walton was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly, "The Storm Church was suspected to have been seriously damaged by Yang's attack. The Holy Land of the Fiery Sun recalled Bishop Harris who had been stationed in Innadri for many years. You have given up hope that the Holy Land will rescue you, so you can only choose to pretend to be submissive in order to escape... Am I right?"
Without waiting for Ross to open his mouth to defend himself, Walton continued, "I don't care about your thoughts, and no one here will care either. With your talents, it should be more than enough to handle the work in the new town. As long as you can complete the work assigned to you conscientiously, no one will care whether you are loyal or not. You will definitely be able to gain your freedom on your own. Come on."
After that, Walton immediately hired someone to arrange work for Rhodes without any delay...
Ross: “……???”
When Walton walked out of the Newtown Town Hall, Rhodes finally realized what was happening and ran out of the door, shouting, "Walton! What on earth are you planning?!"
Walton turned around unhappily and said, "What the hell is it to you? I don't care what you are up to. Why do you care what I do? Just do your job well and don't let me cover for you!"
Ross was so angry that smoke came out of his head: "Don't underestimate me - do I need you to help me out?!"
"That would be great." Walton waved his hand perfunctorily and walked away.
In February of the new calendar year 1034 in the alien world, spring ploughing began and the entire Rhineland entered a peak period of labor shortage.
In just half a month, the State Administration Headquarters in the Rhine Capital received urgent telegrams from the Second Northern Territory, the Territory of Odysseus, and the Territory of Tachia.
The two northern territories are carrying out large-scale development, the Odysseus Territory is carrying out road and bridge projects, and the southern Territory of Tachia has discovered several mineral deposits that need to be mined quickly to alleviate financial pressure... Each side is extremely urgent and no side can be put on hold, especially the spring ploughing season cannot be delayed.
"Let's go borrow some people from our neighbors! If they're quick, we should be able to make it in time for the spring ploughing. Bring back anyone who's willing to join us!"
The Undead Archon of the State Council waved his hand, and the entire Rhine immediately entered a state of preparation for war.
The Earth players who were on winter vacation had nothing to do, so they happily devoted themselves to the great cause of "helping the friendly NPCs to borrow people" and "helping the friendly NPCs to expand their sphere of influence"...
Yang Qiu did not participate in this Eastern Expedition.
When the undead army set out for the second invasion of the Principality of Lionel, Yang Qiu made several trips back and forth to the tenth floor of the main plane of the dimensional demon world, and finally caught up with an opportunity when the Demon King was free to receive outsiders.
Under the dark red moon, in the giant steel city built against the giant mountain, Yang Qiu, who was brought into the Demon King's Palace, met the Lord of the Tenth Level Demon Realm, the Lord of Fear, Dilias, who was a familiar face.
His Majesty the Demon King, whose true form is the giant demon plant Greedy Hell Flower and whose human form is a model face with white hair and heterochromatic eyes, is just extending his hand to have his demon servant put on his armor. When he sees the human black magician stepping into the hall, he casts his pair of heterochromatic eyes, one blue on the left and one gold on the right, over to him.
"Human, what's going on?"
Although his tone was cold, the Demon King's attitude was still quite polite - the black magicians were keen on coming to the tenth level of the demon world to collect summons, and Yang Qiu once secretly set up a "monster battlefield" on other people's territory. There was a reason for that.
"Are you preparing to go to war?" Yang Qiu said in surprise.
"That's right." His Majesty the Demon King said concisely.
Without having to guess, Yang Qiu knew that the Lord of Fear was going to fight the Lord of Disaster again... Every black magician knew the grudge between these two.
Yang Qiu immediately stopped wasting time and said quickly: "I would like to ask you something, Your Majesty, the righteous gods of the material plane were exiled to the void. Is this a punishment for the losers, or is it the only way to get rid of it?"
During the short period of time before the expedition, Dilias took the time to meet with the legendary black magician of mankind. Before Yang Qiu asked for advice, most of his attention was still focused on the upcoming war against the Demon World of Disaster.
It was only after Yang Qiu asked this unusual question that the Lord of Fear unexpectedly regained his composure and turned his attention back to this human black magician.
"You raised an interesting question, human." Dilias said with a hint of curiosity, "I am also interested in this question, but I cannot answer it for you. I have never set foot in the human plane, nor have I ever heard of this hypothesis."
Yang Qiu let out a sigh of regret.
He was mentally prepared for this reply. After all, the Lord of Terror was still very "young"; and those demon kings who had lived long enough were not as friendly to humans as the Lord of Terror, who was still full of curiosity (compared to other demon kings) - let alone asking for advice, it was rare to even see him.
"Then, please allow me to ask you one more question." Yang Qiu said solemnly, "Have you ever heard of... a powerful being who controls the laws of time and space, or who may be called the 'Lord of Eternity'?"
"Of course." Dilias said strangely, "Isn't the Lord of the first level of the Demon Realm the Lord of Eternity? How could you human black magicians not know this?"
Yang Qiu stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
The Lord of the First Level Demon Realm——The Lord of Eternity? !
Not the ancient god who sank into the void, but the Demon King of the first main plane of the ten-layer Demon Realm? !
Just like a blinding leaf falling, through the layers of fog, Yang Qiu seemed to see the looming truth from afar.
The black magicians should be familiar with the ten demon kings in the ten layers of the demon world - but all the black magicians, including himself, have never doubted the fact that they only knew the existence of nine demon kings and ignored the lord of the first layer of the demon world.
Dilias seemed unable to understand the overly surprised reaction of this human black magician. After thinking for a while, he said, "You are the strongest among all the human black magicians I have ever seen. If even you know nothing about it, perhaps it is because humans cannot enter the first level of the demon world, and the Lord of Eternity has not appeared for a long time."
"What does this mean?" Yang Qiu shuddered and asked quickly.
"The first level of the demon world almost merged with the void many years ago. Not only humans, but also the demons like us cannot set foot there." Dilias said, "The Lord of Eternity has not appeared for thousands of years, but we can still feel his breath occasionally, so he should not have fallen."
This explanation once again plunged Yang Qiu into the fog, and the vague truth became unclear again.
The Lord of Fear, who had finished putting on his armor, took the weapon from the demon servant and nodded slightly to Yang Qiu: "You seem to be exploring some interesting secrets. When I come back after eliminating the disaster, you can come and visit me again."
After giving his instructions, the Demon King, who was determined to kill his nemesis, strode away.
"With my pleasure." Yang Qiu could only bow slightly to the Lord of Fear's back to express his gratitude.
Yang Qiu, unaware that the Demon King had set a flag for himself, returned to the material plane in a daze.
Next... Yang Qiu spent nearly half a year traveling (flying) all over the continent of Nabarron.
During this period, he encountered several carriers of the Eternal Lord's "divine favor" who called themselves "competitors".
Yang Qiu, who already knew that the Lord of Eternity was a black hole-level tiankeng, did not hesitate to stuff these fools who tried to devour him, along with their "divine followers", back into the void...
A year later, Yang Qiu, who had even traveled to the outer continent and could no longer find any "competitors", and had traveled back and forth to the tenth level of the demon world many times without ever feeling any unknown gaze, finally confirmed a fact.
The Eternal Lord, who had deceived him twice three hundred years ago and three hundred years later, is no longer in this plane.
"The Lord of Eternity was once one of the true gods of the material plane, there is no doubt about that."
"He has somehow taken the initiative to escape from the material plane and the control of the cosmic laws of this plane. He has escaped from the situation of being a puppet controlled by the laws, like the Storm Lord, who seems powerful but actually has very limited influence on the material plane... and escaped from the void by becoming the Lord of the First Layer of the Demon Realm."
“He used the entire first layer of the demon world as an anchor point to anchor himself, and sliced ​​out countless consciousnesses to project into the material plane. This was not to find a divine messenger, but... to try to anchor another cosmic plane!”
"I was dragged away from the earth because of this."
After returning to the Earth plane, Yang Qiu began to feel mentally unstable after deducing this level. He watched a half-hour mixed-cut video before he recovered...
Yang Qiu gulped down half a can of Coke to recharge himself, cheered himself up, and continued to deduce with full concentration.
"Let's not talk about me who devoured His consciousness in reverse. The rest of the people who accepted the Eternal Lord's consciousness were actually confused by the outrageous idea that 'devouring each other can replace God'... Obviously, He has found a plane suitable for Him to transfer to, and no longer needs these useless 'consciousness parasites'."
"Because after He escaped from the material plane, He first anchored in the entire main demon world. He is still connected to this alien plane, so the demon kings can occasionally sense His presence."
"When the Earth players entered the alien plane and resonated with the alien natives for the first time, the unknown gaze from a very far distance... must have come from Him. It was only because we were too far apart, separated by one or more planes, that I made a misjudgment."
“He no longer cares about this material plane of the Otherworld. He just took a casual look at the place he once abandoned—that’s all.”
After analyzing to himself at this point, Yang Qiu fell silent.
A few seconds later, Yang Qiu, who was already an adult of more than 300 years old, suddenly went berserk and crushed a half-empty can of Coke.
"They've already found a new buyer - and they didn't even bother cleaning up the shit!"
"You have deceived me for three hundred years! You will continue to deceive me after three hundred years!!"
“XXXX (silent words)——!”
“[Beep——][Beep——][Beep——]——!!”
A quarter of an hour later, when the neighbors were almost unable to help but call the police, Yang Qiu finally calmed down...
The grumpy black magician, panting heavily and with red eyes, clutched the can of Coke in his hand, which had already lost its shape. His face was distorted, he gnashed his teeth, and swore fiercely like a madman: "You have found a new plane, right... You can rest easy, right——"
"Pooh!"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you even if I have to cross over to another dimension! Clean your neck and wait for death!"
The legendary black magician, who had planned to return to Earth to retire after dealing with the hidden danger, threw the remains of the can into the trash can, put on his robes, and returned to the other world.
Next... he would frantically go back and forth between the dimensional demon world to grab the skeleton of the demon king, release countless magician's hands and simultaneously install alchemical puppet runes...
After preparing a million "player characters" in one go, Yang Qiu returned to Earth, opened the official website of "Alien World", and issued a notice announcing the opening of the fifth test and the entry of a million players...
The legendary black magician who decided to search the heavens and the worlds for revenge on God is no longer going to retire!
