After successfully passing the "test" of the Bright Holy Mountain Covenant, Chen Rui's life returned to peace.
The sound of laughter came from time to time in the house. Chen Rui accompanied his beloved wives and baby daughters on weekdays, played with bad friends, and sometimes "traveled" to the Blood Fiend Empire and the Shadow Empire to act as the guardian of the two empresses. Special psychological (physiological) counselors.
Although there is still Satan's ten-year agreement, but with his current strength, especially after passing the test of the battle of the Holy Mountain of Light, there is no need to panic as before. The only thing that has not slacked off is cultivation.
Not only Chen Rui, but also the rest of the people. The previous tense atmosphere did have a certain relationship with the practice habits they developed, but it was more of an active and self-conscious behavior.
This time, the special training in the UFO land started again. Except for the pseudo-god-level Benxi and Lola, the three queens who couldn't spare time, the pregnant Athena and the non-combatants with them, almost all relatives and friends All members of the group participated in the practice.
For Chen Rui, the more gods there are in the super system "universe", and the purer and bigger the belief, the stronger his own power will be. This has been fully verified in the battle of the Holy Mountain of Light. Raphael, who is almost immortal, may not be able to receive the "Star God's Guide" that contains the power of eighteen gods.
Since the number of hyperlinks is not endless, and the objects of hyperlinks cannot be expanded indefinitely, Chen Rui must carefully screen, and the most important factor is that the factors are naturally reliable. A few reliable friends such as Tetniss and Ardas have become a new batch of people who have received one-star enhancements, and the two servants who originally received one-star enhancements are Celine and Sikari. In the spirit of ", Chen Rui still gave the two two-star enhancements. Whether these people can comprehend the mystery of the two-star enhancements depends on luck.
Only Guladam, Alice, Medilu, Joanna, and Ina who have received the two-star enhancement have failed. Compared with the other four, Guladam is particularly conspicuous.
This corpse witch is so talented that he can actually turn into a wandering soul in the UFO Land, devouring the "similar" to grow stronger, and the growth rate of his strength is the most astonishing. Not only that, Guladam is also proficient in dark magic, and has made unprecedented brilliant achievements in the field of undead magic derived from the dark system. In terms of strength and intelligence, he is no small feat—such a powerful person has never Did not complete the two-star enhancement!
According to Ben Xi, strength is only one of the factors for the success of two-star strengthening, but it is not the only one. The key is the perception of faith and life. For example, Adeline is not a fighting type, but she completed it earlier than Luo Meng and others. The two stars are strengthened and become the god of music. No matter which path you take, inner persistence is a necessary condition.
Inner persistence is directly proportional to the degree of loyalty or trust to a large extent. For example, Samuel, whose strength is far inferior to Guladam, but his loyalty to Chen Rui can be described as a fanatic, and he can serve him without hesitation. The Lord sacrificed his life. It is this kind of obsession that made Samuel grasp the true meaning of "loyalty" and became the god in charge of "loyalty" and "faith".
In contrast, Guladam was only willing to sign a master-slave contract back then. Although he made great contributions in the battle between Shia and Obsidian, he was only passively surrendering, not to mention loyalty.
This time the Lich entered the Realm of Chaos with everyone, relying on the "golden finger" of devouring wandering souls, he continued to devour enemies of the same level, and his strength reached the peak of the country in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Guladam found Chen Rui.
Chen Rui felt strange that this servant with almost marginal relationship suddenly asked for a private meeting, and what was even more strange was what Guladam proposed.
"The true meaning of 'Death Power'?" Chen Rui was a little surprised.
"Yes." Guladam nodded, "My lord's current strength has already stood at the pinnacle of the world, please give me your advice."
Chen Rui shook his head: "It's not that I kept it on purpose, but that my path of strength is different from that of ordinary people... As for 'death', my understanding is not as good as yours, so how can I answer your doubts?"
"This kind of situation actually happened before this special training. I once asked Lord Benxie for advice. Lord Benxie said that only the Lord can help me."
"Ben Xi?" Chen Rui frowned slightly. Ben Xi has always been dissatisfied with Guladam's loyalty and the progress of the two-star enhancement. Does this have any ulterior motives
"Actually," Guladam bowed his head and said, "It's not that I am eager to advance to the demigod level when I reached the peak of the country, but... this kind of realization is imminent for me. Before I became a wandering soul, I used tricks The method devoured the soul power of countless wandering souls, and my strength jumped from the early stage of the kingdom to the peak of the kingdom. But I didn't expect that what I devoured was only the superficial power, and the unconscious soul power of the dead was all smoldering in my soul. Not only can it not be absorbed, but my soul is also constantly being eroded and split. If this continues, my soul will be completely annihilated and become a real wandering soul that has lost its autonomy. The only way is to comprehend the true meaning of 'death' and swallow the soul Use all your strength for your own use, and completely solve my crisis."
"How could this happen!" Chen Rui frowned even tighter. Generally speaking, a corpse witch is an immortal body. As long as the soul essence in the phylactery is not damaged, it will not die even if the possessed body is wiped out. However, now the ancient Radam had a problem with his own soul, even if the phylactery was hidden in a hidden place, it would not help.
Once the soul of Guladam's ego is gone, the phylactery will automatically destroy itself, leaving only the unconscious body of the pinnacle, like other wandering spirits in UFO.
Therefore, after receiving the reminder from Ben Xie, Guladam approached Chen Rui immediately for advice.
"To be honest, the way of death is an unfamiliar field for me. All I have mastered is to destroy the original power." A faint light appeared in Chen Rui's hand, and Guladam clearly felt that exciting power. The power of pure destruction is frightening, "However, Guladam, you should be very clear that from the perspective of a lich who has the power of the undead, 'destruction' and 'death' are two completely different concepts. "
"My lord's advice gave me a lot of inspiration back then," Guladam shook his head, "And Master Benxi said that even she can't help it, only the lord can help me understand the meaning of 'death' Truth."
Chen Rui groaned silently, no matter what the purpose of Benxie was, this really gave him a big problem.
The real value of Guladam is not its own strength, but its special talents. As the most outstanding necromancer and undead lich, Guladam can control a large number of undead legions, and occupies an important position in the future plan. Even without considering the issue of loyalty, he is a servant who cannot be easily given up.
Guladam's current situation is a bit similar to his own realm and soul power not keeping up with the soaring power. The most important thing is that the power of those wandering souls swallowed by him may make Guladam's soul "explode" at any time. It's like an ordinary person with no inner strength in a martial arts novel, who was suddenly instilled with decades of inner strength, but he didn't have the corresponding mentality to guide and display it, so it's not surprising that he exploded and died one day.
Therefore, what Guladam needs most is the "mental method" that matches the current power. If he can comprehend the so-called "truth of death", not only can he absorb the power of those unconscious souls, but his strength will probably increase even more. Go up a floor.
The problem is that Chen Rui himself doesn't know anything about the power of the undead. The "ancient inheritance" that fooled Guladam back then was actually plagiarized from some games.
Seeing Chen Rui's pensive expression, Guladam stood aside respectfully without making a sound.
After a long time, Chen Rui said, "There is only one way I can think of, which will allow you to comprehend the power of death."
Guladam was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What method."
"I not only have the power to destroy the source, but also the power to create it." A breath of power that was completely different from the source of destruction appeared in Chen Rui's hands, "The comprehension of creating the source is much more difficult for me than destroying the source Many, especially in the initial stage, I was almost wiped out. However, I found another way and took a crucial step, that is, to comprehend and create in reverse with the completely opposite source of destruction! In fact, not only I have done this, but the person who is known as the most Satan, who is close to God, has also tried this kind of reverse comprehension, comprehending the origin of destruction through the origin of creation."
Guladam has lived for thousands of years, so he naturally understood: "What does the lord mean, to comprehend the power of 'death' from the power of 'life'?"
"I can't give you more if you go directly to the way of 'death', but 'life'... I have some means." The source of creation and source of destruction in Chen Rui's hands disappeared instantly, replaced by a black flame, Full of vitality, this kind of vitality makes Guladam feel a strong sense of crisis. The power of Nirvana is exactly the nemesis of the undead.
At the same time, a crystal-clear white crown appeared on Chen Rui's head, and the sacred aura emanating from it made Guladam's soul tremble even more.
Divine healing, the most powerful healing technique, can treat all kinds of serious injuries, and can almost bring the dead back to life, but for the undead, it is nothing more than a deadly sharp blade. If you use the divine healing on Guladam...
"Guladam, these two kinds of power will bring danger to life without exception. It can be said that they are close to death. Have you considered it clearly?"
The Lich was silent for a while, and said: "Instead of losing the soul and becoming an unconscious wandering soul, it is better to choose a way to die while conscious. Besides, although this road is close to death, there is still a way to survive. Before... Please the Lord keep one thing for me."
Chen Rui looked at a box handed over by the Lich, felt the fluctuation of the soul in it, and his heart moved: "This is..."
"My phylactery."
Corpse witches have no flesh and blood, and they have temporary bodies. They usually store their soul essence in some kind of container. As long as the soul essence does not die, they can use their bodies to resurrect infinitely. This soul container is also called a phylactery.
If the phylactery is not destroyed, the Lich will never be truly annihilated, unless it encounters the current soul crisis.
Guladam let Chen Rui keep the phylactery, no doubt he really handed over his lifeline.
"Actually, handing it over at this time... has nothing to do with loyalty." Guladam sighed rarely, "Anyway, this box may become a waste product at any time."
Once Guladam can't comprehend the true meaning of the power of death, then the soul will be swallowed by the wandering spirits, completely losing himself, and the phylactery will also lose its meaning.
"Understood, the 'loyalty' you recognize is actually only because of strength, surrender to the strong." Chen Rui smiled slightly and the phylactery disappeared in his hand. Although the phylactery possessed a certain amount of soul power, it was not a real life after all. , so the storage warehouse can be stored, "However, I appreciate your confession, I accept the phylactery. When you prepare everything, I will help you comprehend the power of death. If you really can't bear it by then and annihilate, or If you lose yourself and become a wandering spirit, I will bury you or your phylactery with my own hands."
"Thank you, my lord." The corpse witch showed respect, and bowed deeply, not because of the passive behavior caused by Feng Xingtai's "Emperor Prestige", but genuine respect.
