Seeing Guan Feng ask this, Tian Yang didn't hesitate. He leaned back, made himself more comfortable, and then spoke slowly.
"I need a team of Silver Crown Knights, about six to eight people. I hope Yin Meng and Ye Xiao can be among them. They have cooperated with me before, so it will be easier for us to get along with each other."
Guan Feng's face twitched immediately. The Silver Crown Knights were the backbone of the Cardinal Academy and even the church. After all, it was not so easy to cultivate the Heavenly Rank, but strong men of Rank 6 could still be produced with resources. However, there were only a few dozen Silver Crown Knights in the Cardinal Academy.
During the expedition to Qingtian Castle and the subsequent pursuit of Tianyang, nearly ten people had been lost. Although the number was increased to 24 after the New Year, it was still a lie to Guan Feng to say that he didn't feel bad about giving away seven or eight people at once.
However, the old man was still calm and smiled without changing his expression: "Is that all?"
He regretted it after asking.
Because Tianyang continued, "Since the Archbishop is so generous, I will not be polite. In addition, I hope to get a group of mid-level sublimators from level 5 to level 4. About fifty people will be enough."
"Among them, I hope there will be more than 10 to 20 Level 5 Ascendants. This number of people should not be a problem for the Cardinals."
"In addition, I also want a team of about 500 church warriors and a batch of equipment to equip this team."
Guan Feng's hand, which was placed on the armrest, had veins bulging slightly and he almost broke the armrest. He really didn't expect that after having already sent a batch of supplies to Lieyang Castle, Tianyang actually still wanted such a group of personnel.
The rest is fine, 500 church warriors and about 50 ascenders can be provided, but if you add seven or eight silver crown knights, that would take out at least a quarter of the Cardinal's assets.
But thinking of the information on the Dusk Slate, and the changes it would bring to him and the College of Cardinals, the old man laughed again: "I thought about it, and there is no problem with the rest, but as for the Silver Crown Knights, sending out seven or eight people at once is really too many."
"Four. I'll give you four Silver Crown Knights. What do you think?"
Tian Yang shook his head without hesitation: "Too few, at least six, I think our Cardinals' Academy will not be short of this number of people."
Damn...
Guan Feng thought for a moment before forcing a smile and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. I'll give you six Silver Crown Knights, fifteen mid-level Ascendants, and thirty-five Ascendants of other ranks, plus a team of church warriors of about 500 people, equipped with the corresponding equipment."
"So, the information on the Dusk Slate, you see..."
Tianyang preparedly took out a communicator, placed it on the table and said, "I left the slate in the West Continent. When I return, I will check the information immediately and then contact His Excellency the Archbishop."
"Please rest assured, Archbishop. As long as the Cardinals can firmly support me, I will continue to provide you with the information on the stone tablet."
Crafty stuff!
Guan Feng cursed in his heart, but laughed on the surface: "Brother Tianyang is a member of the Cardinals, of course we will stick with you. Don't worry, as long as you can continue to provide information, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Then thank you, Your Excellency the Archbishop."
Tianyang tapped the armrests regularly.
, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Guan Feng naturally couldn't ask him to leave, so he could only wait for the next step.
After a moment, Tian Yang finally spoke: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, I wonder how much you know about the Mad King?"
As the archbishop of the church, Guan Feng naturally has extremely high authority and should know a lot of secrets.
However, Guan Feng was stunned by Tianyang's question, and then he said, "Brother Tianyang, you also know the 'Mad King'?"
Tian Yang smiled and said, "I know a lot of people, so I naturally know a little bit, but I'm sure I don't know as much as the Archbishop does, so I want to ask you humbly."
Seeing that Tianyang was still polite, Guan Feng felt better about being 'blackmailed'. He smiled faintly and said, "The Mad King, the founder of the 'Silver Empire', is a man from Silver Dragon Castle. His name is Yincheng."
"At the same time, he is also the world's first ultimate, the end of conquerors, the King of Conquerors!"
Well, I know that the end point of the Hunter is the 'Bow God', and the end point of the Heart of Elements is the 'Glorious One'.
It turns out that the conqueror's end point is 'the conqueror king'.
In order to hide something, Tian Yang deliberately asked in surprise: "What is an Ultimate?"
Guan Feng was not surprised by his surprise, and did not doubt it. He smiled and explained: "The Ultimate is the end point of every sublimation rank. When you reach the end of your rank, you will become the Ultimate."
"However, not everyone can become an Ultimate. Even now, we still don't know the conditions for becoming an Ultimate. I only know that from the appearance of the Ascendants to the present, at least three Ultimates have appeared in history."
"And the Mad King Yincheng is one of them."
Tian Yang frowned and said, "As far as I know, Yin Cheng... is also known as the Mad King. The reason why he was given this title is because he was parasitized by the Alien God and became the Alien God's skin, so he became crazy."
"But if he is the Ultimate, why is he still parasitized?"
Guan Feng laughed and said, "Brother Tianyang, you really surprised me. I didn't expect you to know even such a secret thing."
"That's right. The king went crazy after being parasitized. However, first of all, you have to understand that the 'Immortal Evil Snake' is the most powerful Esgod in recorded history. If you are parasitized by it, if you are not an Ultimate, let alone a stalemate with it for many years, I am afraid that even a Heavenly Rank will not be able to resist it for long."
"Perhaps within a week, or even three to five days, the body will be completely taken over by it, and there will be no chance for it to go 'crazy' at all."
After a pause, Guan Feng continued, "In addition, it is said that after becoming an ultimate person, one will gain a lot of knowledge. These are also the capital that Yincheng can use to fight for himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold on for that long."
"Unfortunately, he eventually fell, and was taken over by the Undead Snake, becoming a shell. Just imagine how terrifying it is to have the shell of an Ultimate Being. This was also the reason why the first Alien God War caused the continent to collapse."
Tian Yang thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, you said that Yin Cheng was the first Ultimate in history. If I am not mistaken, there should not have been a second Ultimate after Yin Cheng, right?"
"Then how come the 'Undead Evil Snake', which possessed the skin of the Ultimate, was destroyed later, and its cells combined with other organisms to give birth to a divine evil creature?"
Guan Feng laughed and shook his head, saying, "You are right. The EsGod plus the Ultimate
The body cannot be destroyed at all."
"So, the 'Mad King' at that time was not destroyed by humans, but he collapsed on his own."
Tian Yang was stunned. This answer was beyond his expectation: "You collapsed by yourself?"
"right."
Guan Feng nodded, and said as he recalled: "According to the internal records of the church, after Yin Cheng was completely parasitized by the 'Undead Evil Snake', he went to the 'Niguang Cult' which was then the state religion of the Silver Empire. He wanted to seize a piece of dusk stone tablet held by the Niguang Cult at that time."
"As a foreign god, the Undead Snake seemed to be interested in the Twilight Slate, but after killing a large number of priests and about to obtain the Twilight Slate, his body began to collapse. For this reason, he escaped from the Reverse Light Cult and the capital of the Silver Empire, which was the capital that had sunk to the bottom of the sea."
"After that, the Silver Empire sent out a large army to encircle and suppress the EsGod, but he slaughtered a large number of soldiers. In the end, he was not killed, but his body completely collapsed. This ended the first EsGod war in human history."
"As for whether it was because Ginjo's body was incompatible with the 'Immortal Snake', or whether the Ultimate's body instinctively rejected the alien god, leading to its collapse, there is no way of knowing."
"In short, humans were lucky enough to survive, and from then on, people knew that there were alien gods in the world of opposites. The alien gods would use human bodies as their shells and cross the Krav Gate to enter our world."
"Because the alien gods are also interested in the Dusk Slate, the four major churches and the Super Fortress have been working hard to collect it until now, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the Reverse Realm and those alien gods to prevent any accidents."
Tianyang nodded. Through today's communication with Guan Feng, he finally pieced together a complete historical puzzle and learned the true ending of the "Mad King".
It turns out that he was not destroyed, but collapsed on his own. However, the disaster he brought did not end there, but continued to this day in the form of a divine evil species.
... ... ...
Central China, Emerald Castle.
In the Reverse Realm No. 51, a figure went deep into the Demonic Valley. The valley was still filled with mist, and the figures of black people appeared from time to time. However, even if the black people passed by the figure, they did not notice anything.
The figure was wearing a silver-white robe with a long scarf of the same color tied around his neck. He had flying black hair and a handsome appearance. He was the saint of the 'Emerald Crown', Wuhua!
After applying for a vacation from the church, he deliberately left the Emerald Castle, pretending to be on a long journey, and spent nearly two months before secretly returning to the Emerald Castle.
Then he sneaked into the Clave Gate and came to the valley alone. His destination was naturally the stone house deep in the underground ruins, which might lead to the 'tomb'.
Due to Wuhua's concealment and misleading, the Church of the God of Nature had no idea that such important things existed in the Demon Valley. Therefore, when Wuhua came to the ruins of that day, there was no one there.
Wuhua passed through the gate unhindered and entered the underground city. He brushed past countless strange and twisted figures in the darkness and arrived at the depths of the pit without causing any commotion, and came to the door of the lonely stone house.
He took a deep breath and checked the items he was carrying. After confirming that they were correct, Wuhua strode forward and walked into the door of the stone house.
As soon as he entered, Wuhua's figure disappeared immediately, as if he had entered another space.
