Chapter 180: Choice
Northland, the land of permafrost.
This is the Northlands farther north than the Silvermoon Federation, Mythril Castle, and the Moon Forest. This is the most marginal area on the continent, and it is also a frontier area of human power. There is no warm climate, no humid air, no fertile land, no vast grasslands, only a never-ending frozen land.
Compared to the rest of the continent, the living conditions here are extremely harsh. It is covered with thick ice and snow all year round, the land is frozen all year round, and the temperature difference is also very severe, and the coldest places can even reach more than minus 40 degrees. If I had to draw an analogy, this is a vast permafrost similar to the earth's Siberia.
Blackstone Castle, also known as the Ice Castle, was established hundreds of years ago by humans in the Northland to explore the Frozen Lands. Although it is difficult to survive in the vast wasteland, some precious furs and minerals have made brave adventurers come here one after another.
There was even a discovery of a vein of gold and mythril here, which once made it extremely prosperous.
Driven by profits, countless adventurers and sold slaves flocked here to dig desperately. Over the course of fifteen years, they hollowed out an entire cavern in the city's ground and built the Black Stone Fort out of the excavated black stone scraps. However, all this came to an end five years ago, and with the depletion of the ore veins, after losing the support of minerals, the originally prosperous Blackstone Fort was quickly squeezed out of water like dried grapefruit, and the population of nearly 50,000 people quickly plummeted to less than 20,000.
And this situation changed completely until fifteen years ago, when a young mage came here.
Because life in the tundra is very difficult, frequent attacks by native monsters such as orcs and goblins make the immigrants here very troublesome. So this mage with a powerful spell-casting ability quickly gained the approval of the people of the frozen land and became the lord of this frozen land.
This young mage not only has a powerful spell casting ability, he is also an expert in management, under his management, the Blackstone Castle opened up the trade route from the frozen soil to the Northlands, and the rare specialties from the frozen land ice fields have been continuously transported to the Northlands, and the entire Blackstone Castle has flourished again.
The Black Stone Fort is like a beautiful gem set in the frozen ground and ice field, brilliant and crystalline. The black stone walls of his walls hung from the skulls of countless rotting skeletons, the gigantic skulls of orcs, goblins, swamp dragons, and even ice giants.
For hundreds of years, the Blackstone Fort has been nailed like a nail to this far northern land, a fortress made entirely of incomparably hard black iron and rock, which has been attacked by countless indigenous people, and every inch of the stone of the city wall here is soaked in blood.
It is a strong city, and it is also a city forged by iron and blood.
In the middle of the city, stands a four-story mage tower, which looks unremarkable and seems to be very commensurate with the size of the city. But in fact, in the underground where no one can see, this mage tower extends out of a massive body of nine floors.
At this moment, on a stargazing platform behind a gate carved out of a monolith, a man was standing quietly, looking up at the starry sky.
The wide stargazing platform is completely made of black stone to shape the sky and round the place, and the connection between the earth and the sky is so natural that there is no trace of the connection.
Everything here is black, with black floors, black walls, and a dark glow cast by the black reliefs. Only the faint light cast by the starry sky reflects the man's back, which is not a tall back, but it has a majestic momentum, which is a long-term high position, life and death can only form the coercion.
In the dark wind, Karles stood silently. Dugu Feng's vast movement of igniting the divine fire, as well as the strange resonance from the killing divinity, directly swept across the continent, making every awakened person of the killing divinity, every competitor of the killing throne instantly understand that among their competitors, there are already people who have taken the lead and walked in front of everyone.
Kareth is also a traverser, and the welfare of the traverser and the divinity of killing have made him go through a lot of hardships, but the path of the mage is unimpeded, and he has been successfully promoted to the legendary realm all the way.
He is now a twenty-eighth-level spellcaster, a twentieth-level mage, and an eighth-level great* mage, which is almost the limit that mortals can reach, once he exceeds this level, even if he removes the influence of divinity, he can officially enter the immortal Heavenly Mandate realm.
However, as a true truth-seeking mage, a truly rational powerhouse, he was not ignorant of his situation. The fate of the Sons of Baal spreads throughout the continent, and with the exception of Aberdell, who is really deliberately blinded, almost every Child of Destiny knows his own destiny.
Kareth didn't have much desire to become a god, and as a truly sane mage, after learning of his identity as the son of Baal, he immediately stayed away from the core of the continent, hiding in this remote place, and silently farming and climbing the level in a safe place.
Reality is not a game, and the upgrade of a mage does not require combat and adventure, and in his previous life, as an excellent scientist and scholar, with the help of divinity and a certain golden finger, his path to mage is not bottlenecked.
However, although he has no intention of becoming a god, out of the spirit of exploration of scientists and mages, he has conducted several in-depth studies of divinity and divine power. Over the years, he has collected countless detailed information about the gods, and in the battles of the native tribes such as the people of the tundra and the orcs and goblins, he has personally charged into battle, constantly experiencing the mysteries of the assimilated divinity in the midst of the killing, and discovering the realm of the divinity of the god of killing.
In addition to the murderous divinity possessed by the Sons of Baal, Kareth was also fortunate to have the divine powers of a fallen god of punishment, and based on this, he delved into the realm of gods. He even secretly spreads his faith in his territory, trying to establish a virtual godhead.
However, the impact brought by Dugu Feng taking the lead in igniting the divine fire made the killing force unprecedentedly high, and the killing force in the dark excitedly urged all the chosen ones, so that the progress of this killing game was sharply accelerated.
The impulse from divinity told Kareth that he had amassed enough power to ignite the divine fire and storm the realm of the gods at any time. However, the mage's sanity made him wary of this inexplicable impulse.
Now, it's time for him to make a decision.
After a long period of thought, Carres made up his mind.
"You've already made your decision?"
Carres's spirit was linked to a powerful being, a divine yet soft voice delivered to his mind purple.
This is a void world between the surface and time, and the multicolored light flickering in the void, enveloping a world of tranquility and silence.
The small world floats in the void between the planes, and if you look from far away from the space, you can only see a small bright light undulating, like the tiny stars, although they are inconspicuous, but they have their own brilliance.
This is a half-plane with the nature of the kingdom of gods, although it is small, but it is the world of the gods that belongs to the gods like the kingdom of the gods that is exalted in the sky like the stars.
A goddess from an alternate plane, this is Kares's biggest add-on besides killing divinity. With the help and teaching of the goddess of sympathy, he gained knowledge and secrets coveted by countless mortals, and grew at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
"As you can see, at my current level, although there are difficulties, as long as I do it step by step, even if I don't devour the fragments of the divine power of the other sons of Baal, it is very possible to ignite the divine fire and become a god."
"As long as it takes another ten or twenty years of operation, it will not be a problem for us to secretly cultivate 50,000 believers, such a number is enough to help me ignite the divine fire, but ......."
Saying this, Kares raised his hand slightly, and a light and thin stone chip appeared in his hand, but he was also light, watching the stone fall freely, and said: "Once you really start to become a god, I can't choose the way forward!" ”
"Although the path of becoming a god is good, it is not my pursuit in the end!"
"So, all these divinities and beliefs will be given to you."
Kareth said this, but suddenly turned around, slowly grabbing a dazzling halo from his body, and in extreme pain, he severed the connection with his soul and threw it violently......
……
Fate is always impermanent, before the final battle, the reclusive Northland Kareth suddenly tore his soul, and threw the little soul containing the killing divinity into the infinite plane, leaving only half of the soul to complete his legendary destiny, becoming a Heavenly Destiny Great * Mage who has crossed the threshold of the thirty profession, which can be regarded as completely beyond this killing game of the children of Baal.
And almost at the same time, the pirate king of the south, Sauron, after collecting enough blood and faith in the continuous campaign, directly ignited the divine fire, seized the godhead of the god of wanderers, became the god of wanderers and pirates, and also jumped out of the chessboard, away from the whirlpool of fate of the son of Baal.
After two children of slaughter jumped off the chessboard in succession, the pace of fate was suddenly accelerated, Mephis's divinity was usurped by the hidden Sebasta, and Aberdale was also killed in the final battle with Sebasta.
In the end, all the remaining Baal divinity was concentrated on Sebasta, and the gamble of the final game of fate finally began. The Killing Force is boiling like never before, urging all qualified beings to compete for it.
