"The Mausoleum of Kuronipus?"

Ron frowned, chewed on the name, and then said with some uncertainty:

"You mean it's something to do with the vanished dragon Reaper?"

————————

【Kuronips】

The Silencer, the Observer

Weak divine power

Faction: Neutral

————————

Kuronipus is an extremely old name, and it is not even recorded in the ordinary dragon lineage.

And in the inheritance memory of Ron's iridescent dragon, the origin of this ancient dragon god can even be traced back to the primordial gods that began at the beginning of the astral plane!

It is well known that the Endless Void existed before the Astral Plane appeared.

And the ancient gods, in fact, were born much earlier than the astral boundary.

It was an ancient time when time had not even been recorded.

In that chaotic space where time and space are not divided, life and death have no boundaries, and heaven and earth are blended together, countless terrifying dark ancient gods and desolate gods are wandering in the void.

Where is like a game world, no matter how weak or strong the life in it is, it is an immortal player.

This kind of world is boring, but it is also harmonious - after all, no matter how you fight, everyone will not die, so there are few disputes.

Some of the original beings developed alternative concepts of "death", and even contributed to the creation of spirit-polluting old gods like Cthulhu.

But all of this is still within the rules of the void.

But as if it was fate, after an unknown amount of time in this chaotic era, a god who far surpassed the strength of other ancient gods and absurdity gods was finally born.

The name of this god was AO, which was later known as the god Io.

Io wielded the power of runes like never before, and his power was unrivalled by even the oldest demon gods.

This almost crushing situation was not alleviated until he cut himself to create the astral plane, and it was only after this that the Lord of Terror found an opportunity to successfully split Io's body, which indirectly led to the birth of the dragon gods of good and evil: Tiamat and Bahamut.

Ahem, it's a bit of a stretch.

In short, Io's twelve runes are the source of his power and the original cornerstone of the creation of the astral plane.

And the strange living space of the void has also undergone great changes after the creation of the astral boundary by this god Io.

You must know that before Io, there was no concept of life and death in the world, and all the Aragami and the Old Gods were eternal beings, and even if they were physically and mentally worn out, they would be resurrected again after countless years.

And the first thing this god did when he created the astral plane was to give life and death to all things.

Among them, there are also ancient gods and arajin!

And this move also succeeded in angering almost all the Aragami and Demon Gods, how could the ancient gods who were accustomed to immortality allow themselves to be defined by others like a blank sheet of paper?

And so this unprecedented battle for creation began.

And this is almost the result of the "tragic" level of divine warfare, which ends with nine out of nine old gods being crushed to pieces by Io's rune power.

The Old Gods of Death have become nourishment for the new astral plane, helping to further refine its rules.

And the lucky few of the ancient gods who survived the battle were also forced to enter the astral realm under the majesty of this god and "take the initiative to contribute" their own strength.

Kuronipus is one of the surviving ancient gods in this context.

Unlike other ancient gods who passively entered the astral plane, Kuronipus, who is well-versed in the power of fate and time, saw the inevitable fall of the old gods as early as the birth of the astral plane.

So he took the initiative to find Io to offer cooperation, and entered the game as a person, becoming one of the very few "surrenderers" in the camp of the old gods who took the initiative to dedicate themselves to entering the astral plane.

And it turned out to be a wise choice.

As we all know, the ancient gods do not have a specific form, they are more like a combination of concepts, which is one of the reasons why they are immortal.

However, this situation is not recognized by Io, and therefore, after every ancient god enters the astral plane, whether voluntarily or forced, he must reveal his image under Io's rules, which is what the world calls [physiognomy].

And as an absolute "Io fanatic"

After entering the astral plane, Kuronippus did not hesitate to choose the image of the true dragon, the life closest to Io's face, as his face.

His outward form is a colorless dragon with no luster on it, signaling his outliership from the struggle between the colored dragon and the metal dragon (and all dragon species).

(According to the records of a certain iridescent dragon ancestor, the power dragon, which is also transparent in its body, actually has the color of its body, and it is also of different colors, but this dragon god is absolutely colorless)

As a result, He obtained the three priesthoods of Destiny, Planning, and Time (the only one at that time), as well as countless branches of the priesthood (not the only one), including Destiny, Death, and Judgment.

Because of this, Kuronipus, who held the priesthood of death, became the undisputed god of death of the dragon clan at that time, and also received the title of "Dragon Reaper".

Kuronips is a sober observer of the world, and He evaluates all true dragons when they die, deciding where their souls should go after death.

Unlike Randis, another dragon god who administers the priesthood, Curonippus is not interested in justice: he only observes what is and is not, and uses this as a boundary to fulfill his mission as a dragon reaper. (Sounds like a ruthless worker!) ）

He also incomprehensibly does not participate in the activities of any living beings, and is committed to keeping it that way. (The master (crossed out) Io's quest)

Although on the surface, he only has a faint divine power.

But there is no doubt that Kuronipus, who has so many transcendent priesthoods, is enough to rank among the top three in the entire history of the dragon god in terms of real combat power!

In fact, this dragon god doesn't care about faith, nor does he care about developing believers, he doesn't even care about the deceit between the gods and his calculations, he just does his part silently for tens of thousands of years.

But it is such a powerful dragon god with such an extraordinary status that even the dragon god of good and evil has to be called "senior" with respect, but now it is like a flower in a mirror, and has long disappeared in the waves of history.

No one knows where Kouronipus has gone.

All it is known is that 100,000 years after Io's death and the birth of the dragon god of good and evil, the hermit dragon god suddenly disappeared into his kingdom.

According to the rules set by Io, there is no doubt that the ancient dragon god, who has lost all faith, is dead, but no one in the know would think that the wise dragon god would die so easily.

People prefer to believe that the old god, who has never been injured since the Void Age, has broken free from the shackles of the astral plane and re-entered the void to enjoy the serenity of freedom.

As far as Ron knew, in the current dragon clan, the priesthood of death has long been another master.

Its new owner, another dragon god, Farazur, also replaced Kuronippus early on as the new dragon god of death.

However, compared to the indisputable Hidden Dragon Kuronippus, Farazur, the new dragon god of death, is not a peaceful master.

And his most famous event in the astral plane is that he actively participated in the creation of the original undead dragons as a neutral dragon god, such as the dragon lich, vampire dragon, and ghost dragon, which were expelled from the dragon by ordinary dragons, and also had an unclear relationship with the five-colored dragon mother Tiamat.

But those things were too far away from Ron.

He just wanted to know urgently how the strange space he was in now had to do with the vanished dragon Reaper.
