A few days later, Tianyang returned from the reverse world.
The city is basically under control.
The lord of the city, that devil-like creature is indeed difficult to deal with. If Tianyang had not used the "Misty Kingdom" to assist Lanhe, it would definitely not be an easy task to convert it into a believer.
But now, the demon lord has become a shallow believer of Lan He. Lan He still stays in the capital city to continue preaching. After a few days, he can convert the lord into a believer. As for the fanatic believer, it will take longer to do it.
The demon lord was intelligent and could communicate. Through Lan He's retelling, Tian Yang knew that this powerful lord was once a general of the 'Dark Dynasty'. He and thirteen other generals were collectively known as the 'Throne Generals'.
This demon lord is called 'Crimson Scar' Sargeras. Of course, the name Sargeras is a transliteration. As for its real name, Tianyang is not sure, and of course, he doesn't care too much.
Sargeras told some information about the 'Dark Dynasty'. This powerful dynasty was ruled by a 'Black King', but later human explorers and the dynasty fought a war with the 'Black King', which led to the fall of the dynasty. Their generals, armies, and subjects were torn apart and scattered.
Judging from the description of 'Crimson Scar' Sargeras, it was obviously the Silver Empire and 'Conqueror King' Silver City that broke out in war with the Dynasty at that time.
Sargeras told Lanhe with certainty that of the fourteen generals back then, only four "Throne Warlords" were still alive, including him.
The other three generals are 'Scorching Frost', 'Shadow Devourer', and 'Empathic Commander', but their whereabouts are now unknown. Even Sargeras doesn't know where these generals have gone.
However, Sargeras believed that the 'Black King' had not fallen, but was just sleeping, and would one day come back and rebuild the capital.
From Sargeras, Tianyang also learned the location of the Dark Dynasty's capital, the City of the End. However, this capital was quite far away from the city occupied by the Crimson Scar Sargeras.
So Tianyang ordered Lanhe to let Sargeras draw a specific route to the "End City" after he became a believer. If it is true as the throne warrior said, the Black King is just sleeping and has not fallen, I am afraid that we will have to organize an expedition against the world to defeat the Black King.
Otherwise, when the Black King wakes up and merges with the gods, he will become the 'Shadow of Eternal Darkness', which is likely to threaten the world outside the door.
In addition to obtaining the 'Crimson Scar' Sargeras, Blue River also gained its subjects, including those nuns who can assist the lord. They are called 'Withered Sisters', and in the Dark Dynasty era they were 'Dark Prayers'. They can cast the 'Blessing of Eternal Night' to allow their own dark subjects to gain improvements in all attributes and abilities.
They can use the "Blessing of Darkness" to transform the life form of a single dark citizen and evolve to a higher level.
They can also use "Light Retreat" to disperse the star essence in a certain area and suppress the power of the Ascendant. The ability of "Eternal Night" can distort and alienate all life and even matter in a large range into dark people, and make the dark people in this range more powerful.
Of course, this ability comes at a great cost, requiring the sacrifice of eleven nuns to achieve, and right now, the Crimson Scar Sargeras has only thirteen nuns under his command.
In addition to the nuns, there are also spider-like "Dark Strikers" in the city, and "Old City Fallen" who are several human bodies stitched together.
', there are dark creatures such as the small-sized 'Winged Demon'.
After transforming the black people of that city along with their lords, Lan He led those black people to a deeper part of the reverse world. Therefore, after returning to Lieyang Castle, Tian Yang informed Luden that he could take people into the city to explore.
However, in order to protect the interests of Sunhold, the city is not open to gold diggers or adventurers.
After a busy day at the municipal building, Tianyang returned to his residence and received a message that Xitong sensed that a powerful evil spirit was approaching.
Tianyang did not stop and immediately used the "Gap Door" to return to the War God's Castle.
Jinxi Manor.
Tianyang came out of the study and went straight to Xitong's bedroom. He knocked on the door gently, and the door opened. It turned out to be Hongxiu.
"Tian... Big Brother, you're back." Ever since Hongxiu saved Xitong, Tianyang asked her to change the way she addressed him and call him brother from now on. However, Hongxiu always unconsciously called Tianyang "Sir" until recently when she got used to calling him that.
Tianyang nodded with a smile: "Where's Xitong?"
“She’s painting.”
Hongxiu pointed to the room, where Xitong was sitting in front of an easel by the window, painting quickly on a piece of paper. Tianyang didn't interrupt her, but winked at Hongxiu, then stood by the door, watching a scene gradually take shape on the paper.
It seemed that there was a howling wind and dark clouds in the sky. Lightning flashed in the clouds, and the lightning vaguely illuminated a strange shadow.
The shadow looked like many human arms piled together. Some of these arms were thick, some were thin, some were tall, some were short, some had seven or eight fingers, some had only one or two, some looked like humans, and some were like animal claws.
This shadow is composed of countless arms, each of which holds a head. Some of these heads are humans, while others are other creatures. If you look closely, you will find that a small shadow is reflected in the eyes of these heads.
The silhouette of a little girl.
Xitong’s figure!
After drawing the last stroke, Xitong paused and only then did she open her eyes.
It turned out that she had been painting with her eyes closed.
Xitong's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She let out a long breath, wiped her forehead and stood up.
When he turned around, he saw Tianyang. The little thing cheered and threw himself into Tianyang's arms.
Tianyang picked her up, rubbed her hair, tickled her, and after playing for a while, he let her ride on his neck and walked to the canvas.
“Is this what you saw?”
Lying on Tianyang's head, Xitong hummed: "I sensed its existence not long ago, and I thought of drawing it so that Dad can identify it."
"You're doing great, do you know roughly which direction it is?"
Xitong raised her hand: "I know."
She pointed to the south. "That thing is coming from that direction. At its speed, it will reach the fortress by midnight."
Tianyang smiled and said, "I won't let it bother us."
After putting Xitong down, Tianyang scratched her nose and said, "After dinner, stay at home and don't run around. Do you hear me?"
Xitong straightened her small body and shouted, "Yes, sir."
Then he started to giggle again.
Tian Yang then looked at Hong Xiu and said, "Take her to dinner.
Bar."
"Brother, what about you?" Hongxiu asked, holding the little guy's hand.
Tianyang smiled and said, "I'm going to go take care of the trouble and will be back soon. No need to wait for me."
After seeing them off, Tianyang released his breath slightly, and Wang Lingjun rushed over. Tianyang told him to take care of the manor, and then left the War God Castle.
After dinner, Xitong returned to the house and obediently took out the homework assigned by the teacher today.
Tonight's homework was math problems. The little guy wrote out the equations while counting on his fingers. When his fingers were not enough, he even used his toes. Hongxiu, who was standing next to him, covered her eyes with her hands and shook her head.
Xitong answered the questions seriously and reached the last one in a blink of an eye. Just as she put pen to paper, she felt dazed. When she came to her senses, she found herself in the city that had an invisible connection with the evil gods again.
It seemed to be always night here. Every time he came here, Xitong could see a huge moon hanging in the sky. The majestic mountains on that celestial body were clearly visible. The cold moonlight sprinkled on this city with almost no visible borders, casting shadows on the towering spires and asymmetrical buildings.
Xitong, who already had experience in dealing with this, waved her little hand, and an inky scent filled the air. The thick darkness surrounded her, making her feel as if she was looking at the city through a window, as if she were separated from the city.
In this way, it would be difficult for Xitong to be discovered by the evil spirits in the city. She was in a relatively safe state, which also allowed her to feel at ease and sense carefully to see if there was a second evil spirit coming.
After a moment, Xitong indeed felt a vague gaze falling on her, but because she was now separated from the city, the gaze only moved around the surface of the dark aura near her, as if it was uncertain.
Xitong used the reverse line of sight skillfully, and after a moment, she "saw" a portrait of a young and handsome man wearing a double-breasted trench coat and an exquisite bow tie, looking very elegant.
Xitong was just wondering why she was seeing a portrait when she saw the man in the portrait's eyes move. Then the bow tie on the portrait dispersed into strange, glowing beards. The man in the portrait then rose up, left the portrait, and fell to the ground, but he was only covered in a thin layer, like a paper man.
Xitong suddenly got goose bumps on her arms, and felt that the evil spirit was so weird. At this moment, in her "sight", the paper evil spirit seemed to be searching for something, and after a moment, its sight met Xitong's.
Then the evil god actually bent down slightly, bowed to Xitong, and spoke a language that Xitong had never heard before but could understand its meaning.
The evil spirit said, "Good evening, Your Highness."
... ... ..
Silver light emerged, outlining the archway. Tianyang walked out from the 'Gate of the Crack' and stepped onto the top of a high peak, where the wind was howling and the sky was filled with stars.
Tianyang raised his hand and snapped his fingers, closing the 'Gate of the Crack'. Then a symbol lit up in the Eye of Replica, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Xitong.
Not long after Xitong's time projection appeared, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky. Dim electric light kept flashing in the cloud, reflecting a number of strange arms.
PS: Today I finally outlined the 'Dark Dynasty' designed by Brother Heiwang. Of course, I made some adjustments and added some things.
PS2: Applause to Brother Heiwang and other enthusiastic readers who designed monsters for Laochen. Thank you all for your support!
