He had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his youth. That was truly a golden age. At that time, he was still strong and had outstanding martial strength. In the entire wasteland, he was invincible. At that time, there was no Bone King Zasuo or White Devil Luci. That was his era, the era of the Black Death God Gelis.
In his era, only one other person could stand at the same height as him. However, that person was able to stand so high not because he had powerful combat strength, nor because he had many territories and subordinates. It was because he came back from a place, the Lost Realm.
That person was called Rodo. Before he joined the expedition, he was just an unknown person. He was a bug hiding in the dark, but when he returned from the Lost Land and brought back some information about the Forgotten Realm, he became a legend. In fact, Lodo was even more talked about than him. Oh, that's right, that stinky bug even wrote a book, which he called "The Book of Lodo".
At that time, he only thought it was funny. However, his fate changed because of this book.
Once, he read the Book of Rodo and read the "she" that Rodo wrote about. In that book, Rodo described such a woman as "crueler than death, more beautiful than the galaxy". This aroused his interest, so he decided to complete the great task that Rodo's team had not completed.
He set off alone.
After that, there was no more Black Death in the wasteland. People thought that he was dead, dead in that mysterious land. But he was still alive. Even though countless days and nights had passed, he still remembered the day he met her.
When he followed the route that Rodo's team had taken, he visited the Rodo Mountains and passed through the Rodo Pass. He passed through the gloomy hills and finally arrived at the Gate of Sighs. The first thing he did at that time was to announce his arrival to the dark world.
Not long after, some powerful and intelligent life forms attacked him. Among them, there was no lack of life forms that were as strong as him, or even stronger than him. At that time, he did not know that those were her generals, her most loyal and powerful subordinates.
Now, he had also become one of these lives. The only difference was that he did not become her general, but her butler.
His job changed from fighting to taking care of everything in the castle for her while she slept. In this ancient and serene castle, he spent the most brilliant years of his life. Now, he was beginning to grow old, but she was still young, and she would always be so.
The singing woke him up from his dream.
In his dreams, he was still reliving the bloody but incomparably beautiful scene when he first met her. Then the song entered his dreams, and he woke up. When he woke up, the first thing he did was open his eyes, but he couldn't see anything. Then, he let out a self-deprecating laugh. Earlier, when he saw her awaken from the iron coffin, the shock of seeing her return from a skeleton to her beautiful appearance made him dig out his own eyes without any regrets.
Now that she had seen the most beautiful thing in the universe, it made no difference whether she had these eyes or not.
Although he was old, his deep Origin Energy allowed him to move as usual. He followed the sound of the song, using his perception to check the position and route of the castle. He knew that he was leaving the residential area and walking towards the castle's Hall of Time through a winding outer corridor.
She was there.
She was indeed here. In this place known as the Hall of Time, both the dome and the pillars were built with Abyss Crystals that glowed with a faint purple brilliance. The magnificence and bearing of this hall were not inferior to the Dark Castle, which was said to be made of Abyss Crystals. At the very least, every inch of the Hall of Time was covered in Abyss Crystals, as if the hall had been dug out of a complete and enormous crystal. In the Black Emperor's Dark Castle, there was only one hall that used Abyss Crystals. The other places were replaced by Black Demon Crystals of similar color and material.
In the center of the Hall of Time, there was a circular pool. The pool was filled with the Water of Elendi. Elendi was a waterfall in the valley that flowed endlessly all year round. The castle drew in its water and used it, filling the pool all year round. Every day, the water in the pool would be changed automatically, so the water in the pool was clean every day. Even during the countless days that she had been asleep, the water in the pool had never stopped changing.
At this moment, she was soaking naked in the pool. The pool reflected the purple light of the Abyss Crystals, transforming into colorful halos, as if there were gems all over the pool. She leaned against the edge of the pool and softly sang a song that Ge Li didn't understand. When they were about a hundred steps away from the pool, Ge Li stopped and respectfully said, "You're back."
"Yes, I'm back."
"Did you see the people you wanted to see?"
"Yes, but you can also say that you didn't." There was a smile on her face. She didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
"Where are my generals?" she asked again.
"I've already woken them up. I guess …" Ge Li raised his head and looked at the narrow window outside the hall with his empty eye sockets. He then smiled and said, "It seems that they're here."
She nodded. "Then let's go and see them."
She stood up from the pool. Water droplets rolled over her body and fell into the pool, creating the most beautiful sound in the world. The maid who had been waiting for a long time quickly put on new clothes for her, tied up her noble hairstyle, and gently inserted a crown studded with crystals and diamonds into her hair. Thus, the queen of the castle walked out of the hall with her long skirt trailing behind her, glowing with a noble light.
The meeting place for the generals was in another hall.
This hall was not as gorgeous and elegant as the Hall of Time, but it fit the atmosphere of the castle perfectly. The hall was solemn and dim. The three giant chandeliers hanging from the dome illuminated the hall, each of which had hundreds of densely arranged lampstands. Even so, the lights still couldn't illuminate the entire hall. Many places were still in the shadows.
When the tens of meters high gate of the hall was pushed open, a figure walked in. This general was tall and strong. He was wrapped in heavy armor, and on the chest of the armor was a demon-like head. The eyes and mouth of the head constantly spurted out green flames. The tall general dragged a dark giant weapon, the blade shaped like an axe and a sickle. Lines full of power appeared on the axe and sickle. These lines flickered with green light and seemed to resonate with the green flames in the head on his chest. The axe and sickle dragged a series of sparks on the ground, and the general, who was like a steel statue, silently walked into the depths of the hall.
The second general who came in from outside the door was much thinner. He hid himself in a thick cloak, and this cloak was decorated with countless crystals and jewels as necklaces. When he walked, the chains collided with each other, making a pleasant jingling sound. The large and wide hat covered the general's face, and from time to time, a faint blue light shone from the shadow under the hat, as if there was a blue flame hidden under the hat. The two arms that stretched out from under the cloak had dark blue transparent skin. Through the skin, one could see the pale golden blood vessels, nerves, and pitch-black bones. Just these arms alone showed that this general was not a Barbarian.
After the two generals quietly entered the hall, a loud laughter sounded from outside the door. This was, without a doubt, a woman's laughter. It was sharp and slender, ostentatious. Then, a charming face made its way in from outside the door. She had a proud and beautiful appearance, and one could tell that this general was extremely fond of black and red. Otherwise, she wouldn't have applied bright red eyeshadow and pitch-black lip gloss.
Then, she walked into the hall, her head of red hair tied up high into a bright red ponytail, swaying about behind her head like a burning flame. She wore black and red leather armor, the armor outlining her fiery curves. Only, the area this leather armor protected was just too little, so most of the dark red skin was exposed to the air. Four slender curved sickles were carried on her back, the sickles spread out like a spider baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Those who were familiar with her all knew that this was a female spider that was difficult to deal with. After all, the title of Spider Empress was one of the best among her many generals.
When the fourth general walked into the hall, the entire hall's temperature dropped, even the lights in the hall seemingly becoming much dimmer. The general who walked in after the Spider Empress had a strange appearance of an eagle head and human body, to the extent where he even had a pair of wings, but right now, these wings were tightly folded behind his back like a cape. What was even more strange was that from head to toe, every feather on this general's body, including his wings, was covered in light blue ice crystals. He was like a moving ice sculpture. Wherever he walked, he would leave a pale blue trail of ice, emitting wisps of cold air.
Even more generals walked into the hall, but these generals clearly didn't dare get close to the four at the front, maintaining a clear distance from them. Only when the hall's doors closed did she walk out. When she appeared, the hall's lights immediately lost their brilliance, and all of the generals knelt down before her.
She happily swept her eyes over the generals below, saying indifferently, "I am very happy to be able to see you all again, my generals. Since all of you have arrived, then the curtain of time can be opened again. "
When they heard the number 'curtain of time', all of the generals' bodies trembled. This was especially the case with the Spider Empress, she even raised her head, excitedly reaching out her red tongue to lick her pitch-black lips. "Who is the target this time? Great one, is it those idiots from the border regions? "
"No, it's a human." She shook her head.
"Human?" The Spider Empress' expression seemed to be a bit disappointed. "You are referring to those creatures from the distant stellar region beyond? Weaklings that are ordered around like slaves, not bad, they are quite rare, but they only summoned us to deal with a trifling human. Great one, isn't this making a big fuss over a minor issue? "
