The old man glanced at the young man and said with a chuckle, "They all think you are a beast that only knows how to devour, but they overlooked one point."
"Even if it is a beast, after devouring enough gods, it will have knowledge and wisdom that matches that of a god."
The man with violet eyes smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. I know this is not the complete 'ritual', but only a part of it."
"But one thing is for sure, you are not complete yet."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here chatting with me, but making me part of your 'knowledge'."
The old man neither denied nor admitted it. He used a branch to turn the charcoal over to allow air to enter and make the fire burn more vigorously.
"What about you, what do you want to do next?"
"I guess you're thinking about cleaning up this planet?"
The young man did not deny it: "Isn't it obvious?"
"Clean up the place and wait for those old friends to arrive."
He raised his head and glanced towards the sky: "In fact, one of them has already awakened, but he is very careful. He must be trying to accumulate strength and recover before appearing, right?"
The old man nodded: "He has always been very cautious."
He glanced at the young man and said, "So, you're going to do it yourself?"
The young man shook his head: "No, no, no, although I am out, I have not yet fully recovered."
"This skin is no good either. Let alone letting me exert my full strength, even if I only exert one third of it, it will be destroyed immediately."
“So I can’t do it myself yet.”
"Also, you should know that the rules of the universe are like a chorus with clear division of labor and harmonious melody."
"If I were to do it myself now, there would soon be a discordant note in this chorus."
"When that happens, the will of this universe will notice me and will try to wipe me out."
"Unfortunately, I am currently unable to fight against the will of the universe, even though this universe is still young and its will is still immature."
The old man sighed: "You don't have to tell me so much. I don't want to know too many of your secrets."
The young man laughed and patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't devour you, at least not now."
"So, you don't have to do this on purpose."
"Don't you think you're being too serious?"
"I know your real 'body' is not here. The one talking to me now is not the real you at all."
"If I remember correctly, this smell should be from an 'undead' from the Undead Country."
"After all, I have devoured one of their 'angels', so I remember their taste."
"You have accepted an 'immortal' as your 'student'. Unfortunately, that student probably doesn't know that once he studies with you and learns certain 'knowledge', he will become your puppet."
Standing up, the young man clapped his hands and said, "Well, it's time for me to go too. After all, there is still a lot to do."
"One last piece of advice to you."
"Don't interfere with me."
"Leave me now before I am fully recovered. The universe is vast. Even if I want to find you, it will take me countless hours."
"So, leave, recorder."
After saying that, he walked towards the edge of the cliff and then took a step into the void.
As soon as he stepped down, a huge head stretched out and provided space for him to step on.
call!
A strong wind blew up from the mountain, causing the fire in front of the old man to flicker. The old man looked up and saw a tail as huge as a mountain and covered with bone spurs, which had drilled into the clouds.
The old man sighed and said, "This guy is getting smarter and smarter."
"I was thinking of sacrificing a student to see if I could try to kill the god while he was not in full condition."
"Sure enough, I still underestimated Him."
The old man looked in another direction again, towards the direction of Lieyang Castle in the western continent. His eyes reflected a darkness and the image of a convoy moving in the darkness.
"He chose the perfect time. It happened just when the elite of humanity entered the world of adversity and started the expedition."
“When those people come back, even if He doesn’t take action personally, I’m afraid the world will be flooded by the black people.”
"It's really troublesome. In the end, do I, an old man, have to do it myself?"
The old man snorted, "He actually wants to intimidate me to leave. I'm afraid if I really leave this planet, I will be swallowed by Him in the next second, right?"
"After all, in deep space, there are too many things for Him to hide."
"For example, black holes..."
"By then, I might just leave this planet and crash into a black hole, and the universe will just think that a small accident happened here."
As he spoke, the old man's eyeballs rolled around, as if he was looking for something.
After a moment, a figure of the dark people was reflected in his eyes.
At the same time, two vehicles from Lieyang Castle entered the opposite world.
A black man wandering in the wilderness suddenly stopped. This kind of red-skinned and hunchbacked black man is quite common in this world. This is the Red Kui, the lowest class of black man.
This red kui had no idea what had happened and his expression became dull.
After a moment, its body suddenly twitched, its bones shifted, and its muscles squirmed.
In the blink of an eye, an old man appeared in the world.
His height, build and appearance were exactly that of the old man known as the 'Recorder'.
He snorted and casually caught another red turtle that was passing by.
The old man shook his hand.
The red turtle immediately changed its shape. Its body swelled like a balloon, its mouth opened continuously, and its bones stretched and expanded.
Soon, the black people had turned into a red tent, which was propped up in the wilderness of the opposite world.
The old man walked into the tent, which seemed to be another space. He disappeared as soon as he entered. When he came out, he had pulled a chair and sat down in front of the tent.
I don’t know how long it took.
A light appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
Then the light became more and more, and brighter and brighter.
A convoy was coming towards this side in a mighty manner. It was the expedition team to the capital of the Dark Empire.
In the expedition base vehicle.
Tianyang was sitting in the conference room. The "Guanghui" who was specifically looking after Lin Jianping had just finished his report.
At present, Lin Jianping's condition is relatively stable, but there is no telling when it will suddenly deteriorate like last time.
"What happened to City Lord Lin?"
"Are you sick?"
"You must be joking. I've never heard of an Ascendant getting sick after reaching level 4."
"Besides, City Lord Lin is at rank 10. Have you ever seen a Heavenly Rank Lord fall ill?"
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
Sudden.
Someone knocked on the door of the conference room and reported to Tu Ge, who was currently serving as the commander: "Sir, there is a situation."
Tu Ge looked over in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Someone is blocking our way."
"People?" Tu Ge looked at Tian Yang, "Could it be a gold digger?"
Tianyang shook his head: "Impossible, this place is very far away from the forward base, it is impossible for gold diggers to come to such a far place to explore."
Finally, the scene in front of the convoy appeared on the big screen.
Then everyone saw a red tent and an old man sitting on a chair in the wilderness ahead of the convoy.
The old man even built a fire and warmed himself.
If this scene happened in the wilderness outside the door, it would be normal.
But in the world of adversity, it is definitely abnormal.
However, when they saw the old man, many people exclaimed "Huh".
"Well, it seems to be the 'Undead Merchant', right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I remember him. Legend has it that you can bump into him in all three continents, and you can buy some incredible items from him."
Tianyang also recognized the 'Immortal Merchant'.
He didn't expect to run into this old man in the adverse world.
The last time I saw it was a long time ago.
At that time, my father Su Lie had his star essence and a part of the heavenly power stolen by the Lord of Chizhou Fort using the "Heaven-stealing Bottle", causing my father to go berserk and almost unable to turn back.
Eventually, he learned the secret of the "Heaven-stealing Bottle" from the old man, which allowed his father to return to normal, but he still owed the old man a debt.
"Could it be that he is here to 'collect a debt'?"
Thinking of this, Tianyang stood up: "I'll go take a look."
Afterwards, Tu Ge, Gao Xinghu and others followed Tian Yang out of the car and came to the front of the convoy.
When they were some distance apart, Tian Yang turned around and said, "Everyone, wait here for a moment. I'll go take a look."
After the battle in the royal city, no one doubted Tianyang's ability anymore. They all regarded him as the 'second Lin Jianping'. After hearing this, they all nodded in agreement.
Tianyang walked forward alone, and when he came to a place not far in front of the old man, he said, "Old man, it's been a long time."
The old man chuckled and said, "It's you. I didn't expect to see you here."
Tian Yang was stunned: "Aren't you here to see me?"
"of course not."
The old man coughed dryly and said, "Do you know that the situation outside the door is in chaos now?"
Tianyang nodded.
The old man said unhappily: "Why are you still dawdling here? Why don't you hurry back?"
Tian Yang said awkwardly: "Of course we want to return quickly, but the speed of the convoy is only this fast, we..."
"Alright alright, I'm here to help you with this situation."
The old man walked into the tent with his hands behind his back, and when he came back, he had two more things in his hands.
One is a door, like some kind of handicraft.
The other one is a puppet, and if you look closely, it actually looks somewhat similar to Lin Jianping.
The old man explained: "This door can achieve a similar effect to the Clave Gate, but it can't directly take you back to the outside. The most it can do is shorten the distance between you and the forward base."
"If I'm not mistaken, if you use it, you can reach the forward base in two days at most."
Tianyang was delighted when he heard this.
He was worried that when the expeditionary force returned to the forward base and walked out of the Clough Gate, the world outside would have been flooded by the black people.
Now with the item 'Immortal Merchant', the journey has been greatly shortened, so it can be said that we have arrived just in time.
"besides."
The old man shook the puppet again and asked, "Is your city lord surnamed Lin unconscious?"
"This thing can temporarily replace his will to fight against the 'God of Destruction', allowing him to become the Ultimate and maintain it for a period of time."
"Until the 'God of Destruction' realizes that he is dealing with a heartless puppet."
At this point, the old man smiled, as if recalling something he had done before.
