Chapter 1, Slaves and Remnants
"Congratulations to today's winner, gladiator-mage, defending his title once again! Let's cheer for the cruel mage!"
As the excitement of the high platform fell, the Cologne gladiatorial arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
Five years ago, the Colosseum, which was not famous, suddenly received a captive of a human spellcaster. Since then, this originally unknown gladiatorial arena has been declared.
As a newly occupied world of heaven ruled by the gods, the spellcasters who originally belonged to the arcanist camp were brutally oppressed. The obedient are sold to the gladiatorial arena, and the recalcitrant are thrown into dangerous resource fields, using their lives to gather all resources for the victors.
In the middle of the noisy gladiatorial arena, a young man with messy hair stood expressionlessly in a pool of blood, sighing softly in the face of the constant cheers around him.
"It's going to be over soon!" the young gladiator, codenamed Mage, whose real name was Balin, silently sensed a location in his body called a dantian. A strange force completely different from all power systems is coming to life. It's like a seed about to burst out of the ground.
Numbly stretched out his hands, his eyes without any emotional fluctuations, and watched as several believers and martial artists put on the shackles that imprisoned his extraordinary power again.
"Well behaved, lowly unbelievers. Eat for you today!and allow you to bathe!" The leading warrior grinned playfully, reaching out and tugging at the shackled chains.
With a bang, the chains brutally dragged the gladiator, who had seemed to enjoy endless glory a moment ago, towards the gloomy dungeon.
"Thank you for your generosity!" said Bahrain mechanically, repeating the words of sincerity. He was only the lowest level of the Awakened, and in the Arcanist system, a mortal like him who had just mastered supernatural powers was called the Awakened. Only when you have truly condensed your first lesson arcane heart suspended outside your body and connected to the source of power of the entire world can you be qualified to claim to be an arcane master.
Unfortunately, his path to arcanism was too difficult. Soon after embarking on this path, the whole world fell under the attack of Heaven. He was held captive by a chanter of heaven without any resistance.
Survival is the instinct of all living beings, and Balin is just an ordinary awakened person, a young man who has just stepped onto the arcane road. He didn't have the tenacity to die. Therefore, he chose to surrender, without any noble reason, all just to survive.
The world was already at the forefront of the war between the two camps, and with the exception of Bahrain, a rookie who missed the evacuation time, most of the spellcasters were Arcanist legions from Rome of Truth.
Perhaps it was because of the spellcaster who had seen too many hard bones, and in the face of Bahrain, a cowardly coward, the self-proclaimed victor chanter took Bahrain as a humiliation of the enemy with extreme malice.
So, Bahrain, a rookie who was just afraid of death and wanted to live, was brought into the city that had brought him humiliation by the singers. Yes, the chantor still remembers leading a group of Faithful knights in the city to fight another Arcanist, only to be severely humiliated by them. Had it not been for the friendly troops who arrived in time, he might have become a prisoner of war for some lowly untrustworthy himself.
Therefore, Bahrain, a special rookie who is only a rookie, but still belongs to the caster sequence, has become his concoction to make up for the wounded dignity in his heart.
"Rookie, you should be a gladiator in this city. I'm going to put my eternal mark on you. Trample on the faces of you lowly unbelievers. Therefore, you must not die too quickly, or I will imprison your soul and torture it for a hundred years. "After the chanter threw him to the owner of the Cologne Gladiatorial Arena, he deliberately and maliciously gave him the code name of Mage. Leave a bad word and then disappear.
From that day on, Bahrain resigned itself to its fate. A rookie who hasn't experienced any blood and fire. Missed the evacuation because of his own negligence. Eventually reduced to slavery, he faced the Holy Knight with divine powers, and in the face of imprisoned shackles, he asked himself that there was no chance to change his fate.
Until a dying human slave came into his life. It was a human with a strange name, Taiyi. Yes, the other introduced himself in broken Roman language.
From the words of the other party, he is a loser. Completely defeated in the internal struggle of an endless and distant world community, the soul was beaten to pieces, and a wisp of remnant soul wandered for endless years before inadvertently leading this world community and finally attaching itself to the body of an ordinary human.
Where is the endless and distant world community of which he speaks, Bahrain does not know. The power he spoke of as Heavenly Court was unheard of in Bahrain. Even the true meaning of the two pronunciations of Heavenly Court never understood. It's just a simple Roman pronunciation of this strange mouthful.
However, their world has always been an extremely open world community, and in his short career as an arcane in Bahrain, he has heard of many merchants from other worlds. As for the title of the Eastern Emperor, which he didn't understand the meaning of, and the other party had never explained to him, and a certain organization that seemed to be read as Heavenly Court, Balin had no interest in exploring it.
No matter who you are, now you are just a slave like yourself. And it is a humble remnant soul whose true spirit is about to dissipate.
But it seems that fate has played a bad joke on him.
This name is Taiyi, the title of the Eastern Emperor, and the remnant soul from the heavenly court left him a practice when he was dying.
Yes, unlike meditation, and unlike the belief in the gods, the blasphemy of the abyss, this is a completely new system of power, radically different from all known powers.
"Zhou Tian Xingdou Jue, feel the power of Zhou Tian Xingdou, absorb and refine the power of the stars. Mighty to yourself!"
Without giving Bahrain a chance to continue asking, after the remnant soul injected the exercises into his soul consciousness sea, this body, which had already died, but was only driven by the remnant soul, completely fell into death.
As if at the last moment, Bahrain faintly heard the remnant whispering something that seemed to be very wicked. It's just that he doesn't understand that language at all.
I tried to imitate this passage in Roman as it was written: "A human cultivates the exercises of my Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. Although it is only a part of the simple perception and absorption of Zhou Tian Xingdou, it is also the most authentic exercise of my demon clan. I really want to see what it will look like when you become successful in cultivation? A shemale? Or a demon? Hehe, Sanqing, I don't know if you will suppress a shemale after you see it, or will you maintain your Dao and pinch your nose to recognize it? Hahahaha.........
What does this paragraph mean, Bahrain can't translate, but it seems that the remnant soul is happy that his inheritance has found a successor, right?
But why is there a strange bad taste in the laughter?
But Bahrain has no chance to figure it out. Anyway, I've become a slave, so let's try this exercise.
As a result, a rookie arcanist, a young and ignorant human being, under the malicious instigation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the lord of the heavenly court from the desolate world community, embarked on a strange guy who cultivated the power of the demon clan stars with a human body and fed back his own arcane master path was born unconsciously.
