On the river, the battle between the Silver Knights and the army of the dead continues.

The army of the dead has an absolute numerical superiority, but most of them are not even extraordinary, and they are enough to be cannon fodder.

In contrast, the Silver Knight was not superior in numbers, even if it all added up, it was less than one-ten-thousandth of the army of the dead. But every Silver Knight has the strength equivalent to the demigod level, and every one of them has participated in the Dragon Hunting War and has at least thousands of years of rich combat experience!

This makes the battle of the Silver Knight against the army of the dead as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

It is true that there are still a large number of shadows left by the death of the 'undead' in the army of the dead, such as Azik Eggers alone, who has contributed more than thirty 'shadows', and each shadow has the strength of a demigod.

And these 'shadows' left by the death of the 'undead' add up to nearly 10,000 people, which is the same number as the Silver Knight.

However, these 'shadows' have the strength of the demigod level, but they do not have the self-consciousness of the ontology, they are just puppets controlled by the River of Eternal Darkness, and they can only use extraordinary abilities mechanically and stiffly, and they cannot effectively kill the Silver Knight at all, and the only effect is to slow down the pace of the Silver Knight in battle.

But on the other hand, isn't this the River of Eternal Darkness being held back by the Silver Knight?

Hundreds of millions of the dead were forced to fight against less than 10,000 Silver Knights, and Sallinger was also held back by Midier, who soared through the sky. This 'war' has reached a white-hot stage, and no one can get out of it in a short time.

In the process, a large number of the dead were mercilessly slaughtered by the Silver Knights.

But at the same time, many silver knights were drowned by the rising waves, swept into the depths of the river, and sank to the bottom of the river.

No one realized that something was wrong, not even the River of Eternal Darkness.

After all, with the army of the dead clearly falling into disadvantage, it wouldn't be too much for him to strike a balance himself, right?

Whatever the River of Eternal Darkness doesn't think is too much, the embers hidden in the Silver Knight, who have been swept up at the bottom of the river anyway, don't think it's too much.

On the contrary, he felt that the River of Eternal Darkness was very sensible.

It's really very sensible.

In fact, Ember's original purpose was simple - to fill a drop of the River of Eternal Darkness with the bird-shaped gold ornament that Irina had given her.

For the Goddess of the Night, who has begun to accommodate the uniqueness of the 'Grim Reaper' path and the 'God of War' path, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to directly contain essentia at this stage. So she didn't want the whole river of eternal darkness, but only a drop of the river of eternal darkness.

A mere drop of water certainly won't allow her to hold the River of Eternal Darkness, but it can be used as a medium to prepare for the essentia.

In fact, the Goddess of the Night's approach is actually somewhat inappropriate.

Not the way, but the order.

Because for sequence 0, there are three ways to accommodate essentia and become the old days:

The sequence 0 that first becomes a pathway, then controls and fuses essentia, and finally accommodates another uniqueness, which is the optimal order.

Becoming a dual-path true god, controlling the fusion essentia, and then accommodating the remaining uniqueness is neither good nor bad.

Fusion essentia until the last step is the worst option.

And now the choice of the goddess of the night is the third, the worst way.

But if you really want to count it, it makes no difference to the goddess of the night by taking any of these three paths.

Because although these three routes are not wrong, they were explored by the ancient sun god after all. Theoretically speaking, the idea put forward by the ancient sun god is also completely correct, only to first become sequence 0 and then fuse essentia, and finally accommodate the other uniqueness is the optimal order, so as to maximize self-awareness, in order to better antigen original will, increase the success rate of things.

But the problem is that the premise of this theory is that there is no interference from external forces!

For the native gods, this theory is entirely correct, as they cannot change the awakening of the original will by any means, so the order of inclusion is crucial to them.

But the goddess of the night is not native.

For Him, who has the First Fire, there is no essential difference between the options, because she does not need to worry about being 'taken away' by the Primordial.

In this case, it is better to accommodate the uniqueness of other pathways first.

Because these uniqueness can be directly transformed into the strength of the goddess of the night, and the process of accommodating essentia will be smoother than containing essentia. Moreover, when the goddess of the night fully grasps the three paths of night, death, and war, the process of containing essentia will be smoother in the future.

Therefore, the Goddess of the Night does not need the entire river of eternal darkness for the time being, she can wait for the future to come and collect it herself.

Now she only needs a drop of river water.

However, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the goddess of the night.

The goddess of the night felt that she only needed a drop of the water of the River of Eternal Darkness, and the River of Eternal Darkness thought so.

Therefore, when the embers reached the end of the stairs, the river of eternal darkness took the initiative to roll up a wave to drown it, which seemed to be a warning and attack, but in fact, it was not a kind of subduation. If Ember's purpose was only for a drop of the River of Eternal Darkness, he could have taken a drop of water from the 'Tide' at that time and walked away in style.

As for Salinger, the Grim Reaper, as long as Ember does not try to step into the River of Eternal Darkness, then his obstruction is meaningless, because this Grim Reaper cannot escape the River of Eternal Darkness at all.

It's a pity that Ember's thoughts are more 'pure' and more 'greedy' than the River of Eternal Darkness imagined.

Because in Ember's opinion, it is not easy for him to travel all the way, so why not just solve all the problems at once?

Anyway, it's all here, it's not easy for everyone, it's good for everyone to end it early! - Do you say yes, River of Eternal Darkness?

With this in mind, Ember voluntarily sank to the bottom of the river, into the depths of the river of eternal darkness, in search of the river's 'source'.

Any river has a source, and essentia is no exception.

For example, the 'Source Fort' is like this, above the gray fog that the Tarot will hold is only the divine kingdom that comes with the 'Source Fort', and the strange light gate above the gray white cloud qi is the core, and it is the 'Source Fort' in the true sense!

And the same is true of the River of Eternal Darkness, the 'river' it reveals is only its own kingdom of God, and its core is hidden in the depths of the river.

Ember periligently sank to the bottom of the river in order to swim upstream and find the 'source' of the river!

The River of Eternal Darkness obviously didn't expect Ember to be so crazy, and although his activation level was already very high, he still couldn't understand something overly complicated, such as now-

For the living, no living person can enter the River of Eternal Darkness, which is the underlying rule of this world.

And once the deceased gets close to the River of Eternal Darkness, they will automatically become the puppet of the River of Eternal Darkness, which is also the underlying rule of the world.

So no matter how you calculate it, the River of Eternal Darkness is actually invincible.

The living cannot enter, and the dead are not threatened.

He wins both horizontally and vertically.

But there are exceptions to everything.

For example, other essentia is on the same level as the river of eternal darkness, which means that these essentia can resist this rule to a certain extent.

Therefore, if Crane or the true Creator were here, they could have entered the River of Eternal Darkness for a short time with the power of the 'Source Castle' or the 'Sea of Chaos', and they would not be turned into dead people who lingered on the banks of the River forever.

Ember is the same exception.

He is immortal, he is alive.

He is also an ember, a dead man.

He is the first fire, the first life, the first death, and the end of immortality.

Above all, this is a system of power that is completely different from this world.

This has two consequences -

As the dead, he can dive into the River of Eternal Darkness without being discovered, as he is only one of the totally dead to the River of Eternal Darkness.

But as a dead person who does not belong to this world, he will not be accepted by the river of eternal darkness, and he will not be controlled by the river of eternal darkness.

That's why he can continue to swim upstream in this river, looking for the 'source' of the river.

But the River of Eternal Darkness is a living essentia after all, not a completely dead thing.

So, he soon discovered that the Silver Knights who had been swept to the bottom of the river were still 'alive', and that they were still alive and not melting like frost like the rest of the dead, despite their agony at the bottom of the river.

And among these silver knights who were swept up at the bottom of the river, there was even an inconspicuous silver knight who was swimming against the current!

Even though the River of Eternal Darkness thought that the Silver Knights were just scurrying like headless flies, the direction the Silver Knight was heading was unsettling for the Activated Essentia, because that was where His 'core' was!

Even though he didn't think a normal Silver Knight could threaten him, he had to stop them from moving on!

The illusory river suddenly shook violently, and the surface of the river set off waves, wave after wave, like a rushing river, to wash the silver knight at the bottom of the river to the end of the river.

But the silver knight remained unaffected, slowly but surely facing the surging tide upstream.

Until, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.

It was a giant bird that had been completely submerged in the River of Eternal Darkness and suspended in the water.

The giant bird's body was covered in feathers woven from pale flames and mystical patterns, but had been melted away much by the River of Eternal Darkness, revealing parts of its dark, decaying, yellowish pus-covered skin.

The eyes of the giant bird seem to be cast in bronze, and there are layers of illusory doors hidden inside.

It is none other than the creator of Calderón, the ancient god of death who opened up the underworld, the ancestor of the immortal birds, Gregaret!

Gregaret's eyes burst with bronze light, enveloping the Silver Knight, who was determined to go backwards, to drag him in.

Clearly, the River of Eternal Darkness does not allow anyone to continue near His core!

But just as the figure of the silver knight was about to disappear, a loud dragon roar resounded in the sky.

The dragon hovered in the sky, but its massive body was already covered in bruises.

His wings were broken, and the wings that should have obscured the sky and the sun were so shattered that it even made people wonder if he could continue to fly with these broken wings, and that he would fall from the sky in the next moment.

His body was also broken, and his skin was stuck in a cuff of scars, with no flat spots. Traces of brown and gold were all over his body, whether it was his dried blood, or the moss that had been parasitic on his body for countless years of sleep.

His two heads were raised haughtily and roared into the sky. But when the two heads are on the same side, they look a little unbalanced, extremely incongruous, and lack beauty.

But if you look closely, you will see that there are two other shocking scars on the other side - those are his other two heads, he once had four heads, and he was the undisputed king of the dragon clan, until his two heads were cut off by the barbarian king.

His tail was broken, and the flat wound at the end indicated that He had been severed. The Barbarian King of the Severed Tail did not want to obtain the weapon of the Dragon's Severed Tail, but only used it as a humiliating symbol of the Dragon's defeat.

But no matter what, he is still the dragon king, the dragon king 'Platon Sankes' who hovers in the sky and controls the storm and thunder!

Roar!

In the roar of the dragon, scarlet lightning pierced the sky, instantly piercing the river of eternal darkness, trying to pierce the undead ancestor hidden in the river's waters.

While this didn't make a real difference, it did manage to distract Gregarie, the Ancestor of the Immortals.

And when the 'Ancestor of the Immortal Bird' Gregaret raised the bronze giant eyes with layers of illusory doors and looked at the enemies in the sky, she suddenly found that the ruined dragon king in the sky was long gone!

Until the bottom of the River of Eternal Darkness, under the calm current, there are sudden fluctuations!

The broken dragon king had already escaped into the gap between time and space, and suddenly rushed out at the bottom of the river, hooking the head and body of the immortal bird with the sharp claws wrapped around the thunderclouds, and in the loud roar of the dragon king, the immortal bird was pulled out of the bottom of the river!

Below the river is the home of the River of Eternal Darkness, the home of the ancestors of the undead birds.

But the sky has always been the home of the Dragon King!

Although Platon Sanks can't beat the barbarian king, can't kill the gods, can't kill the golden tree, and can't help the supreme will, can he still beat you as a bird?

Platon Sankx bit Gregarry's neck with one bite, and the other head opened its huge mouth and spat out a golden dragon breath that pierced the sky, completely engulfing the head of the undead ancestor!

At the bottom of the river, the Silver Knight returned to normal, and he continued to move towards his set goal.

Elsewhere, the Silver Knight, who had been scurrying around like a headless fly in other directions, reversed course - they would follow the Silver Knight upstream, until they found their central position.

Roar!

The River of Eternal Darkness sensed threatened, and Sallinger the Reaper let out a low roar that sent the river's waters soaring.

The originally calm bottom of the river suddenly became an undercurrent, and the illusory river suddenly became sharper than a knife. He is not just trying to stop these Silver Knights, but to kill them!

Only by crushing these Silver Knights can he avoid a threat to his core!

However.

Just as the 'Grim Reaper' Sallinger let out a low roar, a giant with flames all over his body fell from the sky and pressed his head down!
