A soldier immediately ran through the crowd to report.

Black Feather raised his head and saw the towering City Lord's Hall in the distance. The tall hall door at the top of a long staircase was slowly opening.

Suddenly, he spread his wings, and a strong wind swept through the crowd, and he flew high into the air, heading towards the castle.

The white and light feathers were vibrated down, and the pieces fell down, emitting a faint light.

People exclaimed in amazement and opened their mouths wide, stretched out their palms to catch the feathers fluttering in the sky, and watched the gods fly away, everything was like a dream.

The Chiyan City Lord, whose armor never left his body, had just walked to the slowly opening gate, only to see a golden light gradually radiating from the crack in the door, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop, and his eyes widened in shock.

The door slowly opened, and outside the door, a god waving white wings was slowly descending from the night sky, exuding an incomparable dazzling light, and his feet gently landed in the open space in front of the door.

"Heavenly ...... Celestial!"

The Red Flame City Lord's voice trembled.

He fell to his knees with a "poof", his hands and forehead pressed flat on the ground.

The ministers behind him were even more stunned. They had never seen the legendary god located in the West Sea God Domain, and it took them a long time to recover from their shock, their legs weakened, and they knelt on the ground with their five bodies thrown to the ground.

"You are the Red Flame City Lord?" asked Black Feather, "The ruler of the Eastern Continent?"

The Red Flame City Lord said ashamedly:

"I'm Chiyan City Lord Yi Hao. Now that the East Earth has become like this, what face do I have to call myself a ruler......"

From his tone, Black Feather heard sincerity and deep remorse.

He waved his hand, letting a wisp of divine power as light as the wind support the city lord's body and stand up from the ground.

"Don't be too restrictive. This is your territory, and I'm just here to help. ”

Black Feather folded her wings and turned her back to the red carpet of steps in front of her, and above the steps was the throne.

And he said:

"Tell me what you know, where did this disaster begin?"

The Red Flame City Lord hurriedly turned around, saluted respectfully and said:

"The continent was prosperous, and farmers, merchants, and aristocrats lived and worked in peace. The catastrophe began during the reign of my younger brother, who endlessly mined into the ground.

I had stopped him...... Miners continue to be infected by the aura of darkness and degenerate into demons...... However, he hid all these things from him, for fear of causing panic among people.

I repeatedly persuaded him to stop mining immediately. But greed has blinded him, and he does not listen to my advice at all......"

The city lord said this, shaking his head slightly, full of remorse.

"If he had listened to me, none of this would have happened...... Alas, in fact, from that time on, there were already signs of disaster. The number of demons is increasing, and they are running out of the ground. There are also beasts in the nearby forests that have been alienated.

Moreover, these demons have even wandered to other neighboring continents...... If mining can be stopped at that time, maybe...... Maybe this disaster won't be ......"

Black Feather also felt sorry and asked:

"So, the dark is coming from underground?"

"Yes, Tenjin-sama. The Red Flame City Lord replied truthfully, "The earth has collapsed, and the darkness beneath has poured out, forming an abyss, which is the source of dark power. ”

Thinking of those apocalyptic sights, his eyes were filled with fear.

"Dark power, underground, reduced to ......demons," Black Feather pondered, "How can there be a dark force in this world that I don't even know about......"

"After the disaster, I gathered the survivors in this only remaining castle. The number of demons outside is still increasing, and it won't be safe here soon......"

At this time, the cavalry outside the gate also came. The general Yiyang ran sweating profusely, for fear that he would be too late and would snub the gods.

He took off his helmet and stepped into the temple first, then fell on one knee and saluted the gods and the lord of the city.

"Lord of the Castle!"

"General Yiyang, have all the soldiers returned safely, and are they injured?" the city lord asked eagerly.

"Peace, all peace. Only a few soldiers were slightly injured, but they were fine. ”

The Chiyan City Lord breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

The castle lord was about to inquire about the trip, but suddenly he was surprised that the Celestial God was still around, and immediately stopped what he was about to say, looked up at the Celestial God, and asked for his permission.

"It doesn't matter, since I've arrived in Dongtu, I'm a resident of Dongtu, just treat me as a member here. ”

Black Feather said kindly, and walked to the side of the main hall.

"How's this expedition going?"

Yiyang continued to report to the city lord:

"Lord of the City, our cavalry squad has entered the royal city, where ...... It is in ruins, and not a single person has survived, or has become a demon, and the king ......."

He paused painfully as he said this, "Your Excellency the King too...... However, we found this next to the King's bones. ”

He neatly untied the black cloth bag he was carrying behind him and opened it carefully.

Black Feather also looked at it curiously, and it seemed that it was something very important inside.

Until the black cloth was lifted layer by layer, what caught my eye was a pitch-black long sword and a golden crown.

He held it in both hands, offered the long sword and the crown, and held it up in front of the Red Flame City Lord.

After the Chiyan City Lord took it, he put the long sword on his waist, and then turned around and placed the crown on the stone platform beside him.

"Alas, I can't imagine that the once illustrious Red Gold Empire no longer exists......"

General Yiyang and a column of cavalry behind him immediately knelt down and said in unison:

"Lord of the City, Dongtu awaits your leadership, please wear this crown and lead us to rebuild our homeland!"

The leader of the Night Clan and the others also knelt down in unison and said:

"Lord of the Castle, please wear the crown!"

The Chiyan City Lord's expression was complicated, he sighed and stroked the Chiyan family crest carved on his crown. But did not pick up.

He sighed:

"Now that the Eastern Earth Continent has become like this, what qualifications do I have to be king?...... I, the Chiyan City Lord, swear today that if the Eastern Land is not recovered one day, my Chiyan family will never be king!"

When Yiyang and the others heard this, they both felt their blood boiling, and they all looked sad. They lowered their heads silently, remembering their lost homes, dead relatives and brothers, and a few iron-clad men, whose eyes were red, and their fists were quietly clenched.

Black Feather spoke:

"I have a rough idea of what is happening here. It seems that the dark forces from the earth seem to have existed in the first place, and it is not your fault. ”。

He thought for a moment, and then said:

"It's just that the dark energy at the mouth of that abyss cave is too huge for me to seal alone. I have decided to return to the Celestial Realm for the time being, report the situation here, and I will do my best to get the help of the Celestial Realm for the human realm. ”
