……

"You're sharp."

"Worthy of being in the top 50 human beings in the "Pillars of Destiny......"

Osedro expressed his heartfelt emotion.

"Pillar of Destiny?"

Matthew looked inquisitive.

Osedro explained:

"The Pillar of Destiny is a totem pillar extending from the Mother Abyss, engraved with many names that may pose a threat to the Abyss."

"We found your name at the bottom of the Pillar of Destiny about a year ago, when you were ten thousand miles away, just a few centimeters from the surface of the Mother Abyss."

"But Ling's growth rate is amazing, and now you are in the top fifty, and you are the third youngest among the humans in the Aindor Continent......"

Is there such a thing in the abyss?

Matthew looked surprised:

"Who are those two people younger than me?"

Osidero said without thinking:

"The second youngest is a mage named Hibbert, a student of the Guardian of the West, Yuruo, who is suspected to be related to the goddess of magic, Yeli."

"The first youngest is a person who should have died, and that death reset her age, so put her ahead of you."

"As far as I know, her resurrection from the dead has something to do with you, and her name is Margaret......"

Matthew looked stunned.

Why are they all old acquaintances?

But what surprised Matthew even more than this was that in terms of the threat index to the abyss, Margaret, who had come back from the dead, was still in front of himself and Hibbert?

Didn't she die at the hands of the devil?

"But death can reset the age is a bug, right?"

"It seems that the algorithm of the Abyss Mother is not so humane."

Matthew thought to himself.

Then he confronted Osidero:

"So most of the demons in the abyss know about our existence?"

Osedro shook his head:

"No, the truth is quite the opposite, only the higher status of the demons are qualified to observe the contents of the Pillar of Destiny."

"And if you want to observe and record for a long time, only abyss mages are qualified, which is the privilege of the Tru Demon Race."

"As for the names on the Pillar of Destiny, the Abyss Mages can't directly relay them to the lords they work for, but they can reveal these targets that may pose a threat to the Abyss by knocking on the side."

"What's more embarrassing is that in the history of the Abyss, there have been many Abyss Mages who have used this to gain additional support from their own lords, in fact, what they did was not to eliminate the threat outside the Abyss, but to enrich themselves."

"Over time, a considerable number of Abyss Lords have become prejudiced against the Tru Demon group, and even the Pillar of Destiny is regarded as a lie concocted by the Abyss Mage, just to deceive more resources from the major lords......"

Matthew nodded slightly.

There are no glaring holes in Ocedro's description.

For the Trumo group.

Matthew also has a certain understanding.

As everyone knows.

The Abyssal Demons are a group of people who are hated by the Aether.

They are also in the camp of evil.

Devils can use spells with ease.

But the demons can't.

However, over the course of their long evolution and adaptation, the demons have developed spell-like abilities derived from the Mother Abyss.

Unlike spells, you need to learn them from scratch.

Spell-like abilities can spread through the bloodline, or they can be shared through master-servant contracts.

It really is more suitable for the realities of the abyss.

In the abyss.

There is only one group of people who can use magic, and they are called Trumo.

In the beginning.

Trumo isn't all mages.

However, due to the harsh environment of the abyss and the strong adaptability that demons naturally have.

Within a few generations, the Abyss Mage had become synonymous with the Trumo race.

Because they control the scarce spell resources in the abyss, they are offered as guests by the major demon lords.

But ordinary demons have a very bad impression of the Trumo race.

Many demons are even very hostile to the Tru Demon.

The specific reasons are varied, none other than the superior social status of the Tru Demon, the possession of scarce spell resources, and so on.

But there is a theory that may better explain the hatred of the demons at the bottom for the Tru demon race.

They believe that the Trumo is a demon transformed from the devil!

Here's the point.

This statement is not a simple chase, and there are many indications that point to it.

Matthew had seen this in a spellbook based on the history of the Abyss and Purgatory.

The nature of that book is biased towards heroic biographies or anecdotes, and most of the content is absurd and sensational, except for the one that tells the origin of the Trumo race.

Even Matthew believed seven or eight points.

It is said that Bato, the original lord of the Nine Prisons, fell in love with a demon daughter who came out of the abyss.

Shocked by the Demon Daughter's appearance and appearance, Bartow captures her and returns her to purgatory, where she is courteous and pursues her.

The demonic woman had a fierce personality and an unyielding attitude.

Bartow suddenly became even more energetic.

He frantically pampered the demon's daughter for a while, and within half a year, she conceived and gave birth to hundreds of cursed babies—

The union of the devil and the devil is definitely the most miserable newborn.

They are born to be damned.

Most newborns do not live past the age of three.

Barto, of course, had no feelings for the newborns, and he threw the half-demon, half-devil and half-devil beside the demon daughter in order to torture her emotions and try to make her completely surrender mentally.

However, the Demon Daughter is also well aware.

She knew that she was alive precisely because she didn't give in.

So she put up a stubborn resistance.

Bartow didn't use brainwashing or similar distraction spells.

He was just attacking like crazy.

Follow the normal script.

The mighty Lord of the Nine Prisons will one day get tired of playing, and then it will be the end of the Demon Daughter and the hundreds of newborns.

Unfortunately, at this time.

Purgatory has been hit by an unprecedented attack -

The Scourge Mage is here.

She killed Bartow and sealed him under the Bridge of Beings.

When the Scourge mage broke into Bato's palace, he stumbled upon the newborns.

So she rescued the dying demon daughter and sent the newborns back to the abyss with their mothers.

After that.

The Scourge Mage broke into the forbidden land of the Abyss three times in a row and began negotiations with the Abyss Mother.

The end result is an abyss with more demons who can do magic.

This is where the Trumo comes from.

Judging by the timeline.

The Tru Demon is indeed a new type of demon that has only appeared in the past few hundred years, and it coincides with the time when the Scourge Mage beat Bato, the Lord of the Nine Hells.

Therefore, this version of the rumor has been prevalent.

The book that Matthew read was written by the alliance mage, and most of it described the power of the Scourge mage from the side, and the authenticity of the story was naturally impossible to verify.

But if the story is true.

Then it makes sense that the Trumo group is not popular in the abyss.

Think of it.

Matthew asked bluntly:

"The so-called pillar of fate, is it only valued by you Trumo?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Osedero's face.

He instinctively explained two sentences, and then seemed to remember the current situation, so he said quite helplessly:

"That's true."

"Including your lord Eisner?"

Matthew asked again.

Osidero nodded slightly, his expression a little embarrassed.

Matthew knew it.

It seems that this pillar of destiny is a new thing in the abyss, just like the Tru Demon Race, and is not accepted by the broad demon group.

Ocedero said that it grew out of the abyssal matrix—

Maybe it was their Trumo who secretly erected a pole on the Abyss Mother, and then insisted that it grew by himself......

This kind of thing is not new.

After going through so many people and things.

Matthew is already well aware of a common sense -

Everyone adds their own subjective whitewash when portraying an objective fact.

Trying to get to the bottom of things is often a tough one.

You have to put aside all the subjective parts.

Look only at objective facts.

It is possible to piece together the real context!

"Only the Turu Demon is qualified to observe the record up close", in fact, the other demons don't dick that pillar at all, right?

Matthew was amused, and then asked with a straight face:

"Let's get down to business, what is Eisner doing in the Jade Garden?"

"Don't worry, the Soul Cage is an independent world, it is protected by the secret enchantment of my half-plane, and no one can know what you said to me!"

Oscedero looked terrified:

"I can't say!"

"He'll know!"

"I'm going to die a terrible death!"

Matthew sneered:

"If you don't say it, I can make you die a miserable death right now!"

"Need I remind you? I'm a necromancer. ”

When Osedro heard this, his face turned terribly pale—spirits were already prone to whiteness, and he was almost white now!

"I have 10,000 ways to torture your soul, you really don't want to open your mouth, I have my own way."

Matthew said coldly:

"The Banshee King just now is just playing with you, as long as I give an order, she will let you experience more extreme pain at any time."

"Also, I have a friend in the underworld, his name is Viscount Fan, and I heard that he is the best at dealing with ghosts and spirits...... I'm wondering if you're worth it for me to ask him for this face......"

Ocedro's body trembled violently in fright.

But he still said with a bitter face:

"I ...... I can't...... I don't dare ......."

"You don't understand His terrible ......"

Matthew saw that the intimidation was almost there, and immediately threw out a king bomb:

"The reason why you don't dare to betray Eisner is just because you are afraid of his methods and revenge."

"But what if I could provide you with a perfectly safe road?"

Osidero shook his head and said:

"I don't believe it."

Matthew snorted coldly:

"I can make you a Void Creature!"

Osedro is still shaking his head:

"I don't believe it...... What?! ”

Immediately, he showed an expression of disbelief:

"What did you say?"

"Void creatures? Did I hear me right? That's the most powerful and noble race in the multiverse......"

His spirit suddenly became condensed, and his eyes became very sharp!

Matthew didn't talk nonsense to him.

Directly show your Void bloodline!

"You, you, you ......"

After sensing the void breath in Matthew's body, Osedro stammered for a long time before he sighed:

"You're the Lord of the Void!?"

"No wonder your strength has improved so quickly, no wonder you have been able to squeeze into the top fifty of the Pillar of Destiny in more than a year!"

Matthew laughed but didn't say a word.

Oscedro looked at him with complicated eyes, still babbling:

"I've always been wary of you."

"Ever since I learned that you destroyed the Sampan Plane and topped the Pillars of Destiny, I've been careful not to confront you head-on."

"But I still lost, inexplicably lost......"

"Just now, I was still unwillingly thinking - if the battle between us takes place in the abyss, it must be me who wins!"

"The material environment is too friendly for you, but it is full of oppression for me, this is not a fair mage showdown......"

"But now it seems that my idea just now was a little too naïve, Your Excellency turned out to be the spokesperson of the Void Lord Eucruz......"

"The people of the Scourgeon Cult have actually lurked at the top of the Seven Saints Alliance...... Unbelievable! ”

Matthew smiled lightly.

In fact, he also felt that he had taken advantage of the home advantage by successfully winning, and for high-level mages, not being able to use the domain was a disadvantage.

It's a pity that Matthew now has the Abyss Realm in hand.

Even if he goes to the abyss and fights Ocedro again, the latter will not be his opponent.

"Now that you know who I am, you should know that you only have two paths left."

Matthew said in a tough tone:

"Be me, or be gone!"

Osedero's eyes became extremely hot, and he first bowed deeply to Matthew, and then said sincerely:

"I'm willing to be your follower!"

"As long as you will guide me on the way to the void, I will tell you all the facts I know, without reservation!"

The rapid change in this guy's attitude before and after is really staggering.

Although Matthew had long expected that the Void Bloodline might be quite tempting for these people, he didn't expect its effect to be so immediate!

"Open the door of your soul and put it up without any resistance, remember, my patience is limited."

Matthew ordered.

Osetero hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and relaxed all resistance at the soul level.

Matthew detached a wisp of consciousness and successfully infiltrated Osedero's spirit, and his eyes quickly flashed with images randomly displayed in Ocedro's sea of memories.

The next second.

A seed from the Void Brand managed to enter Osedero's spirit—

These small seeds are the product of Matthew's use of the spell Parasitic Skull to fill the Brand Void.

At first, he didn't pay much attention.

Later, I paid attention to it and deliberately studied it, only to find that I could actually distribute these small seeds to other people and use them to create a weakened Void Bloodline, and then develop power for myself!

These people with the Weakened Void bloodline will also enter the Void World after death, and will become Matthew's subordinates in the future-

If one day he will enter the Void World.

And under Matthew's meticulous care.

The tiny seed was successfully planted, and Ocedero's spirit body had a different aura than before.

That's a power that approximates ashes.

That's the ticket to the Void!

"It's really the Void Bloodline!"

"I'm sublimated!"

"I'm sublimated!"

A few minutes later.

Osedro made a sound of ecstasy.

He even got on his knees and kowtowed to Matthew frantically!

Matthew found it a little funny, but he also experienced the allure of the Void Bloodline for many creatures for the first time!

However, compared to the bloodline that the Lord of the Void gave to Matthew.

Matthew has a stronger, more direct control over the lives of these small seeds that have been splintered from him.

He can kill them at any time, causing them to enter the Void World;

It is also possible to strip the small seeds of their true death before this command is executed.

This power has always been in Matthew's hands.

This gives him near-absolute control over these developed "Void Downlines".

From this point of view.

The Void Lord did give himself a great gift.

Even if it's toxic.

He had imagined before that there were many creatures in this world who would not be rejected as void beings.

Vasnov, the god of war, is an example of this.

Ordinary people may be afraid of this because of poor information.

And the top enemies are likely to have the opposite emotion.

Ocedro's performance made Matthew realize that his conjecture was not wrong, but he was too conservative!

"Assuming that this news leaks out secretly, I'm afraid that the people in Tianlun Palace will come to me one by one!"

"It's even possible...... Even the mages of the alliance will be tempted! ”

Come to think of it.

Matthew also had a moment of fear in his heart.

If that happens, there's a good chance you'll be coerced into a machine that constantly sends life to the void!

No wonder the Patronus keeps his own secrets!

This is not only for their own safety reasons, but is more likely to cause a wider impact.

"However, these small seeds did not appear at first, and were slowly born after using the parasitic skull recommended by Ekmond."

"He didn't tell me in advance because my bloodline was more advanced? Or is the old fox still hiding something? ”

Matthew had a lot of doubts in his mind.

But right now.

He must get the full truth about Eisner's actions from Osedero.

So he focused his attention and locked his eyes on Osedro.

Didn't wait for Matthew to speak.

Osedro replied earnestly:

"He told me that the Jade Court holds the opportunity to become a god."

"The reason why he went to great lengths to go out of his way was to get everyone's attention."

"He wants to plunge all of Ayndor into the flames of war, leaving the city-states and alliances at their mercy."

"Only in this case will He have a chance to achieve his goal, which is to become an Old God of War!"

Speaking of which.

Osetero paused for a moment and explained carefully:

"The part of becoming an ancient god of war is my own speculation, and he didn't say it explicitly, but I think my guess is true nine times out of ten."

"Project Reincarnation of the Old Gods - that's what they called this operation, Eisner has been preparing for this project for a long time, and there are many powerful beings involved in this project, as far as I know, they include the Demon Lord Omadoki, the Dragon Lich Stephanie, the Twin Serpents of the World, some members of the Cult of the Underworld, an elven old man named Terlast, and an ancient illusionist who calls himself the Sioux Emperor."

"There should be others, but that's all I know."

Ancient Gods Remastered Project?

Matthew frowned:

"By the ancient gods, do you mean the gods of law?"

"They plan to become the gods of law in the Jade Garden? Through what channels and in what way? ”

He didn't know much about the gods, let alone the ancient gods.

He only vaguely knew that the law gods did not eat faith so much, and would lose most of their humanity.

Osedro muttered:

"Do you know about Twin Heavens?"

"There is the earliest Tianlun Palace, in the original era of ancient gods, the ancient gods ruled the original heaven, the two most powerful of which are the twin gods of light and darkness, so that heaven is also called the twin heavens."

"The Twin Heavens fell before the Dark Ages, for unknown reasons, presumably related to the Twilight Creation or an older alien invader.

But the core of the twin paradises remained, an artifact called "Paradise Lost".

Legend has it that if someone can fully unleash the power of Paradise Lost, they will be able to obtain the inheritance of the twin ancient gods, return to that era of bright stars, and become the supreme god of law. ”

Matthew asks:

"Eisner found the heart of the twin heavens?"

Osedro shook his head:

"Not yet, the core of the twin heavens was worshiped as a treasure by the troll royal family, and after the fall of the troll empire, that core was hidden by the desperate troll prince in the blood drinking mountain of the troll holy land."

"The Blood-Drinking Mountain is a sacred place for trolls and an ancient refuge for the trolls, and what I learned at first was that only the legendary artifact, the Crown of Sins, could open the entrance to the Blood-Drinking Mountain.

For a while, Eisner and his friends searched for the whereabouts of the Guilty Crown, and then had a clue, but for some reason it was interrupted. ”

"But it didn't take long for them to discover another way to enter the Blood Drinking Mountain, and that was through the teleportation array of the Secret Light Jungle, which was also an ancient refuge!"

"It's a simple and crude method, but in order to do so, you have to take full control of the Mystic Light Jungle.

Eisner and the others argued several times about this before they stopped and slowed down.

There is probably some kind of consensus between them, and I don't know the specifics of what it is. ”

"Oh, by the way, I still know one thing - to open the place where Paradise Lost is sealed, you need the blood of the descendants of the troll prince back then, this matter should have been done, Eisner and his temporary allies have a clear division of labor, his task is to make Aindor chaotic, and by the way, to brush up a few new layers of chips in his war field......"

Matthew's expression changed slightly after listening to it-

Dragon Lich, Guilty Crown, Cult of Hades, Dragon's Ring, Senr, Terlast, Phantom Dragon, Mystic Light Jungle, Omadoki, Blooddrinking Mountain, Troll Royalty, and Eisner and the Twin Serpents!

These terms floated wildly in his mind.

If what Osetero said was true.

If all this is not a coincidence.

Then Eisner and the others' plans are crazy too!

"If what you're saying is true, there's no way the Seven Holy Alliances are unguarded against it."

That being said, though.

But Matthew doesn't really have that much confidence in the league.

Really.

Osidero replied:

"The mages may be in the know, but for them, there is something more important to fight for."

Matthew suddenly:

"The world of vanishing history?"

Osedro nodded:

"It's the Vault of Time and the Vault of Destiny."

"The Six Secrets of the Universe – Life, Death, Love, Phase, Destiny, and Time."

"Except for the Vault of Love, the other five Vaults have all been brought back to their original positions by the Scourge Mage, and they need to be opened at a certain moment in a long time, and ordinary people can't find their place at all."

"Only the Secret Vault of Fate and the Secret Vault of Time were swallowed up by the former god of luck Luoa and the later mad second hand, so Luoa has a sense of the hiding place of these two great vaults."

"This time the return of the disappeared historical world to the material world is the handiwork of Luoa, I'm not sure if the crazy second hand is involved in the revival of the old gods, but this return to the disappeared world is indeed promoted by him."

"He himself crept into that world of history."

"The mages generally believe that there is a complete time treasure and destiny treasure hidden in that historical world, and Eisner thinks so too, if their strength allows, they may compete with the mages, but in the current situation, this is the perfect time for them to avoid the edge of the Seven Saints Alliance......"

Speaking of which.

Osedro still added quite objectively:

"For the mages of the Seven Holy Alliance, allowing the mad second hand to get all the time vaults and fate vaults could have devastating consequences, and everyone knows that guy is a complete lunatic......"

"Eisner's idea is simple, as long as they become an ancient god before the return of the god mage, they will have bargaining chips with them."

"There is no doubt that the influence of the Law God far exceeds that of the Belief God of Tianlun Palace."

"What's more, once the Twin Heavens are restarted, coupled with the fall of Tianlun Palace, there will inevitably be many new vacancies."

"Eisner, they can use these divine positions to tempt the undetermined in the Seven Holy Alliance."

"They believe that mages as a group certainly have rifts inside, except for the Seven Saints, everyone can be tempted and bought, even including the Seven Saints!"

"No one can resist the temptation to become a god, not even a powerful mage."

"The reason why the Seven Saints are fighting against the powerful beings of the outer plane is to protect their own interests, and secondly, to habitually abide by the mission left by the Scourge Mage."

"But the mission is illusory after all, and the interest is the most real."

"If someone can provide their greater good, then the change of position is only a matter of moments."

"What do you think?"

Osedro looked at Matthew rather flatteringly.

Matthew smiled:

"Are you making excuses for betraying Eisner?"

Ocedro's positive color road:

"I'm just telling the truth."

"If I didn't know that you had a great Void bloodline, I would also tempt you with a replica of the Twin Heavens."

"Then again......"

"If someone is willing to use the position of the Old God to exchange some benefits with you, will you refuse?"

"Even if you don't want to become an ancient god, what about the people around you?"
