Lin Jianping woke up in a room that was not spacious but warmly decorated. As the lord of Guanghui Castle and one of the few people in the world who had reached the pinnacle, his residence should have been more luxurious and extravagant, but at his level, worldly desires could hardly arouse his interest.
Therefore, for him, as for daily life, food, clothing and other expenses, it is enough to have enough, without being extravagant, but he also does not try to save money deliberately.
Sitting on a cushioned bed, the first thing Lin Jianping saw was a woman in white dressing herself in front of a mirror.
The woman in the mirror is so beautiful, with white clothes as white as snow and black hair like a waterfall.
The woman in the mirror keenly noticed Lin Jianping's abnormality and smiled gently: "Don't tell me, you had a nightmare?"
Lin Jianping raised his head, his eyes deep, like a lake without waves in a primeval forest: "It's not a nightmare, Li Yi, it's a revelation... I got a revelation."
The woman named Li Yi froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up, she stood up and turned around, unable to hide her joy, she said, "Really? So, you are already the Ultimate?"
"Not yet, but soon..."
Lin Jianping's face was expressionless, and it was hard to tell what his mood was at the moment: "According to the information we have obtained, he will become the Ultimate soon after receiving the revelation."
"Now, I know. The end point of the War God class is 'Destroyer'."
Li Yi came to the bed and sat next to Lin Jianping: "More than three hundred years ago, the first Ultimate appeared. It was the end point of the Heart of Elements, named 'The Brilliant One'."
"Two hundred years later, the second ultimate being, 'Bow God', was born in the Church of the God of Nature. Now, 'The Destroyer' has appeared. And that person is you. But why can't I see any joy in your eyes? Isn't this the end you have been pursuing?"
Lin Jianping gently held her hand and said, "Yes, before I received the revelation, I had been working hard for this end. But now, now..."
"Now I feel a little scared."
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Hate it, are you kidding me? Our City Lord Lin is actually afraid. If even you are afraid, then there are probably no real warriors in this world."
"I'm not kidding."
Lin Jianping tapped his forehead gently: "I received some knowledge and some information. You also know that we Ascenders will get some information after being promoted."
"This time, I got more and more profound information than ever before. Some of it is even incomprehensible and undecipherable."
"It's like... that's not knowledge meant for humans."
Li Yi's smile faded: "What do you mean?"
Lin Jianping left the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the tall buildings outside the window: "In fact, I have always wondered why the Ascendants appeared. We all know that the Ascendants awakened after touching the Star Marrow Pillar in the Reverse Realm."
"However, the Reverse Realm is a dark, corrupt, and rotten place. How could a thing like the Pillar of Star Marrow, which is full of infinite light, be born in such a place? And it can also give us humans outside the gate power, allowing us to walk in the Reverse Realm and explore the secrets of another universe."
"I have always had a feeling that there seems to be some other force pushing us and consciously cultivating us. Before receiving the revelation, I thought that the force was to enable the humans behind the door to have the power to fight against the ancient existence and the alien gods.
Let us become sublimators, and then we will walk on the path of sublimation. "
A trace of gloom flashed across Li Yi's beautiful eyes: "But you don't think so now?"
"That's right."
"That doesn't seem like knowledge prepared for humans. It feels like it's preparing for something." Lin Jianping squinted his eyes and said, "Data backup... That's right, it's like backing up data, backing up some knowledge, materials, and information that will be used to a new terminal in advance."
"If that's the case, is the training of the Ascendants also a preparation for using this terminal?"
"After becoming the Ultimate, is the Ascendant still himself? Or has it been replaced by another consciousness?"
Li Yi stood up with a whoosh: "This is impossible, isn't this the same as EsGod? But the star essence and dark particles repel each other, so the Ascendants, the Black People, and the EsGod are enemies, right?"
Lin Jianping turned around and looked at the woman and said, "Perhaps the Ultimates and the Alien Gods are still in a hostile relationship, but in their eyes, humans may not be much different from how the Alien Gods view us."
“The results are the same, just in a different form.”
"In short, the Ultimate must be hiding a huge secret. Otherwise, why are the two Ultimates who appeared in history missing?"
Li Yi asked worriedly, "So what are you going to do?"
Lin Jianping narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Glorious Church has the information about the first Ultimate. If I can get it, I should be able to learn more about the Ultimate and be more fully prepared."
"But no matter what, there is one thing that must be prepared in advance. In case Lin Jianping is no longer Lin Jianping, I must find a way to kill myself."
"Lin's sword will never be swung at relatives and compatriots!"
... ... ..
East Land.
Deep in a rolling mountain range, on a towering peak, there is a red tent. Its pointed red roof sways constantly in the mountain breeze.
Outside the tent, there was an easy chair and a table with a lot of food on it.
There was an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face sitting in an armchair. He would snap his fingers from time to time, and the food would fall into his hands one by one.
At this time, the old man was taking a piece of bread, taking a bite and chewing slowly.
Suddenly he showed an expression of listening attentively, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Another..."
"The third Ultimate is about to be born. I wonder which old friend it will be."
"But then again, humans are surprisingly cautious. The two Ultimates above haven't fully awakened yet. They probably don't show their 'Ultimate Posture' that much."
After finishing the bread in a few bites, the old man took out a pipe, lit it, took a puff, and then blew out a smoke ring.
"Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, I was able to obtain such a body in the 'Land of the Immortal'. Otherwise, it would have turned into dust long ago."
"I hope humans can move faster and get the remaining pieces of Dusk Slabs as soon as possible and bring them to the door. Then..."
The old man smiled and blew out another smoke ring.
... ... ..
Scarlet Rift, Hellburg.
Today, the transfer platform was filled with guards wearing full body armor with a pure black base and red patterns. They were arranged in two long lines.
The team bowed their heads to a magnetic car as it passed by.
The magnetic energy vehicle finally stopped in front of the Clave gate. The door opened and the owner of the fortress, Luo Wu, got out of the car.
He raised his head and looked up at the black archway in front of him. After a moment, he strode into the door.
After crossing the Clave Gate, Luo Wu saw a base. This was the forward base located at the Clave Gate. It was a barrier built to ensure that the gate would not be crossed by the black people.
Luo Wu did not stop and went straight to the command center.
The command center received news early in the morning that the city lord would be coming today, and the base supervisor and relevant personnel were waiting in the command hall early.
When the automatic door of the hall opened, everyone shouted loudly: "Hello, Lord Luo Wu!"
The sounds came one after another and lasted for a long time.
Luo Wu walked in indifferently, stood in the middle of the hall, looked around at the people around him, and swept his eyes over one face after another.
The base supervisor was a rather tall man. He stepped forward and said, "Lord Luo Wu, according to your instructions, all personnel in the base have been gathered together."
"very good."
Luo Wu put his hands behind his back, looked at everyone and said, "Then, let's evacuate this place."
For a moment, everyone was in a daze, and the base supervisor even thought he had heard it wrong: "Lord Luo Wu, what did you say?"
Luo Wu looked him straight in the eye and said, "I said evacuate this place and leave the base. I won't say it again."
The base supervisor was stunned and asked, "Why, Lord Luo Wu, did we do something wrong?"
“Why do you want to replace us?”
"It's not a replacement." Luo Wu said indifferently, "Rather, this base will be officially closed from today."
The base supervisor was shocked: "Lord Luo Wu, if we close the base, what will happen if the black people show up?"
Luo Wu said coldly: "You don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements. All you have to do is obey my orders."
"If anyone still has objections, don't blame me for being rude!"
"This...this..." The base supervisor never dreamed that Luo Wu would actually close the base. This came too suddenly, and he couldn't help but wonder whether the city lord in front of him was really Luo Wu himself.
In the end, no one dared to question Luo Wu's order, so the base broadcast sounded, requiring all personnel in the base to leave in an orderly manner and close the forward base one by one.
Standing in the command hall, watching the screen showing the evacuation of personnel from various areas of the base, Luo Wu's mouth stretched a little bit. Suddenly, his whole body twitched, his eyes were bloodshot, and then he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "Get out of my body!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you want to ruin my hard work?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Wu raised his head again. This time, his left eyeball gradually rolled up, revealing a blood-red pupil covered with spiral lines.
"Don't you want to take revenge on the Golden Council? To avenge them for driving your grandfather out of the Council? So now, I am helping you."
"You resent the Golden Council and hate humans. As a reward for inviting me to live in this body, let me help you destroy the Golden Council and kill every human on earth. What do you think?"
"Of course, I am very fair, so I won't let go even if they are people you are close to."
"You have no objection?"
