Chapter 43: Secret Talks
Fire is the primordial oneness of the elemental realm under spirituality. Therefore, the new consciousness of the necromancers is also preserved in the soul fire.
Although the necromancers have the word 'spirit', most of them are not spirits, but essentially exist in the material world.
It's just that the bodies of normal life are 'alive', they are 'dead'. But from another point of view, perhaps in the eyes of the undead, the bodies of the earthly life are 'dead', and theirs may be 'alive'.
Over time, the number of undead increased. Not only the corpses of life, but also some places with dense negative energy will also give birth to life under the light of the dark moon.
A handful of intelligent beings bask in the moonlight, and they regard the Stygian Moon as the source of life. The undead called it the Primordial Moon, because in their vague memories there was a moon on the earth, but it was born later than in the underworld.
And most importantly, only the Primordial Moon can reverse life and death and bring them back to life.
The initial celestial worship began to spread, and the meager power of faith flowed to the Stygian Moon. Ryan had noticed the changes in the outside world, but like humans, before the Third Age, it was not the time for these mortals to appear.
What's more, although the Underworld has lost the ownership of souls due to the existence of the spirit realm, it is close to the source of Kaos [Darkness], and it is naturally the home of the undead life.
Previously, they had not been able to truly 'come to life' due to the lack of power in the moonlight of the Stygian Moon. But now, with the participation of magic, spirits can easily influence matter with the help of it, and necromancy is born.
It's just that when Ryan was arranging the affairs of the spiritual realm that he had accumulated for seven hundred years, a secret conversation was going on in a place he didn't know, in some lightless realm.
In the past, relying on the 'foresight' of the trajectory of the myth, everything seemed to be expected by Lane.
He is like a player standing outside the world, gently plucking the thread of fate, and the gods are swinging by him like puppets. But as the spirit world became more and more powerful, the interference of [uncertain fate] on [fate] became stronger and stronger, and even he didn't know how much of the trajectory of fate had already changed.
He saw some, such as changes in the starry sky, such as the changes of the god king, but in Ryan's eyes, this was all something he expected after all. But obviously, there are some things that are beyond his expectations, and they have been foreshadowed as early as the day when the spirit world was opened.
Not all gods do what they think. Some are because of simple emotions, and some are because of the desire to go further.
······
The Lightless Domain, as its name suggests, is where everything is 'nothing'.
Without sufficient power, mortal things can no longer even maintain their 'existence' here, because pure darkness would have devoured all things.
It's just that for the two of them who are talking at the moment, the danger of the Lightless Domain is just a joke.
"Gaia, you saw it."
At the edge of the realm, on the side of the emerald green figure, a gentle and magnetic middle-aged male voice slowly came.
If you just listen to the sound, I am afraid that everyone will think that this is a scholar with poetry and books.
"Yes, Erebos, he has created another god, and he has snatched it from the world."
"Spiritual ...... With this interface, he can do a lot more than you can imagine. ”
Looking at the sudden change of moonlight in the sky, the woman in the green dress did not hide her emotions, or she was never a person who was good at concealing them.
She didn't like Ryan, she always took. And thousands of years ago, when the [Life Vase], which had lost most of its origin, returned to his hand, this dislike turned into anger. At the first moment, Gaia wanted to take revenge.
As long as she wanted, the earth and the underworld would move with it, and all life with a spirit breath would be targeted by a part of this world, and this was only the beginning.
She's going to imprison Ryan in the depths of the earth and make him pay for his actions after he's surrendered half of his life's authority.
However, Erebos dissuaded her at the time. The Lord of Darkness tells Gaia that when the spirit realm opens up, Ryan can't be imprisoned.
He is one with the spiritual realm, or rather, he is the 'personification' of the spiritual realm, but he is not like the primordial god, and he is no longer the same as his own 'essence'. For Ryan, even if his outer body is destroyed, he can be reborn in the interface at any time.
The same is true of the lost part of the Vial, which has probably long since become a part of the spirit realm and will never be able to regain it.
Thus, Gaia's anger that had nowhere to vent hung over the earth for three years. But she didn't give up revenge, but brewed her anger in her heart.
"You persuaded me, Erebos, but you called me again today."
"If you have any ideas, just say it. You have what you want, but I just want him to know that the earth is not so easy to deceive. ”
The voice was a little cold, and Gaia knew that Erebos was not a good man.
Most of the other party wants her to do something, something that only she can do.
Gaia didn't care, though.
In the afterlife, she can help Zeus for the giants, or she can turn against Zeus because of the Titans who were imprisoned in the abyss. During the whole process, she seems to have gained nothing and has instead lost a lot of strength. But this is Mother Earth, she rarely cares about interests in doing things, and only cares about momentary emotions.
As long as she can breathe, she is willing to pay some extra price.
"Hehe, don't say that, my good sister, maybe I just want to help you?"
On the side, listening to Gaia's words, Erebos smiled, he seemed to be in a good mood today.
But Mother Earth's face was still cold. If the other party really cared about it, he could have done it long ago when Ouranos was still around.
But he sat back and watched himself face the pain. The so-called concern is simply a joke.
On the other hand, seeing that Gaia didn't pay attention, Erebos didn't care. As the other party said, the reason why he found the other party was naturally because there were things he couldn't do on his own.
In the realm of Life, although Mother Earth only uses the power of companion artifacts, it is by no means within the reach of the Lord of Darkness.
"You know Gaia, thousands of years ago, on the earth, the gods created life."
His right hand swept across the darkness in front of him, and the life of the underworld appeared in front of the two ancient gods. They were all made on that day and brought here. But the irony is that by this time they are long dead, and what is active is the new life born from the corpse.
"They gave mortal bodies with your Vials of Life, and Ryan gave mortal souls with well water. Not surprisingly, the well that sowed the soul was an artifact shaped with the power of life source, and it was one with the [Life Bottle]. ”
"Yes," said Gaia, "I don't need you to remind me how he gave my soul before me with what was rightfully mine." ”
"You misunderstood, I'm not laughing at you, in fact, I'm just emphasizing that in the realm of life, the body and the soul of mortal things actually intersect."
Shaking his head, Erebos explained. But how Gaia listens and feels, he's just describing his failures in a different way.
"So, what did you find?"
Gaia was already a little impatient, she had never known that her brother had such a bad personality
"Don't worry, my sister."
With a chuckle, Erebos looked at the wandering dead spirits in the picture and said slowly:
"I just discovered some secrets about life through the artifact of bipartite."
