This was a world of flames.
Raging flames sprayed out, and pillars of fire rose from the ground into the air, sprinkling down countless rain of fire like trees of flames. The pillars of fire were the trunks, and the rain of fire was the canopy. Such fire trees covered the entire land. Liu Huang's aura was everywhere, and suffocating poisonous gas could be seen everywhere. This place was clearly not suitable for ordinary creatures to live in, so the earth was deathly silent.
A pair of iron boots stepped on the blazing ground, and the flames retreated in front of his eyes. The man in armor had an ancient expression. Him? Looking into the distance, the earth stretched endlessly forward. The figure of a giant could be seen on the west side of the sky, and the mountains to the east. The sky was forever bathed in dim yellow light, as if dusk had frozen in this world. In the distance, there was a high mountain piercing into the clouds, and the peak of the mountain was hidden in the thick clouds.
That was his end. That mountain was also the center of this world.
This world was called Eboynes, and as for the mountain, it was called Twilight Hill. Although it didn't look like a small hill at all, it had been called that since Eboynes appeared. All the kings of Eboynes knew about Twilight Hill. It was the center of Eboynes, the birthplace, the starting point of everything.
On Twilight Hill was the palace of the Son of Dusk. That palace was called the Withered Hall.
He picked up his steps and walked forward. He didn't walk fast, but the earth quickly retreated beneath his feet. As a result, the Twilight Hill continued to enlarge in his eyes. Only when one truly approached the Twilight Hill would they know how huge this mountain, known as the "hill", was. It was too close to be contained in one's field of vision. It was like a huge barrier, completely isolating the sky and the earth.
At the foot of the mountain, he stopped.
Walking through a gap, a stream of magma flowed through the front. Across the river of fire was a deep valley. In the depths of the valley was a dilapidated temple. One side of the temple had collapsed, and rocks were piled up randomly. He raised his hand and gradually emitted a dim yellow light. Something in the ruins resonated with his Origin Energy, so the earth trembled. The rocks on the ground floated into the air and assembled themselves according to a certain pattern. Soon, the temple returned to normal. He walked in, and a brazier in the temple lit up, followed by circles of symbols on the ground. They were all in the Eboynes language. It was the civilization of the Creator's universe, and it was also the most ancient civilization. Each symbol contained almost endless information, and when the symbols were combined, they formed a spatial door that led to the Withered Hall.
He walked over and stood among the runes. The radiance rising from the runes enveloped him. The temple lit up and he had already disappeared.
When he walked out of the light, he was already standing in the withered hall.
This hall had existed since ancient times, and its floor was paved with an unknown material. It was not made of gold, jade, stone, or crystal. In fact, it came from the Creator's universe, and it paved the entire ground. With every step he took, a corresponding symbol would light up on the ground. When he was far away, the symbol would disappear. Thus, he went on his way, the symbols appearing and disappearing. The hall was vast, and there was a circle of pillars at the edge. From behind the pillars, one could see the boundless land and burning sky of Eboynes. As for the dome of the hall, there were nebula-like halos floating in it. They moved according to a certain pattern, and if one observed carefully, they would discover that some of the rules of the universe were hidden within.
The Zero Hall was the palace of the Son of Dusk, and it was also the coordinates of the Creator's descent into Eboynes. When a cosmic dusk ended, the Creator would visit his "farm", plunder energy, and leave.
At this moment, a high platform appeared in front of him. On the platform was a dignified throne. The gap between the platform and the ground was ten meters. As he approached, the bricks on the ground began to rise one by one, gradually rising, forming a staircase leading to the platform. He walked up the last step, stepped onto the platform, and sat down on the majestic and gorgeous throne. There was a small silver bell on the armrest on the left side of the throne. He bent his finger and gently flicked the silver bell. A melodious bell instantly spread throughout Eboynes, announcing his arrival to all the monarchs.
Soon, the monarchs would come for an audience. Before that, he still had some time.
He opened his hand, and a ball of warm light rose from his palm. This ball of light floated out and wanted to jump off the platform, but it seemed to hit something invisible and bounced back. After a few fruitless attempts, the ball of light landed on the ground of the platform, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
It was a handsome man. His eyes were slender, and there was a hint of coldness between his brows. His purple hair was tied up high, and he wore a vermilion crown on his head. He wore silver-purple armor that was the same color as his hair, and his entire body exuded an aura that was as cold as the abyss.
"I recognize you." The man on the throne held his cheek with one hand and looked at the man who appeared in the light. "Your name is Russell, a despicable opportunist."
The man named Russell sneered and said, "I call that wisdom of being one step ahead of others."
"If that is called wisdom, then why did someone as wise as you fall into my hands?"
"Then how do you know that I didn't calculate this?"
"Calculate?"
The Son of Dusk on the throne nodded. "That's right. You have been good at scheming all your life, so you have almost always been successful. Speaking of which, you used the power of the fifth generation of the Dusk species to set up this trap, and it started with you. You are indeed very good at scheming, and you did a good job. You were very smart to set up the treasury before I woke up, and then extracted the relevant memories and part of the power, forming an independent will to wait for the start of the Daybreak Plan. "
"Thank you for the compliment." Russell smiled.
"But don't be too happy too early. Your plan has failed at the last moment. Your will has fallen into my hands, so don't even think about the Son of Dawn successfully retrieving the five wills. "
"Who said that I have to retrieve five wills to defeat you? According to my calculations, being able to retrieve two or three wills is about right. If that still doesn't work, then we can only say that we were wrong about you. That's all, "Russell said indifferently.
"If that's the case, why did you set up five treasure vaults?" The man on the throne narrowed his eyes.
"It's very simple. Firstly, it was to deceive people, and secondly, it was an additional layer of insurance to prevent this kind of situation." Russell put his hands behind his back and walked to the other side of the high platform. "That's why I said just now, how do you know that I didn't calculate this? In fact, I have already calculated it. "
"Interesting. But I also know that you are the beginning, not the end. The fifth treasure vault is the key, and even now, I don't know where it is. Although you left behind the Origin Slate, I think that the final coordinates should have been set up with many security measures just to be safe. It will take some time to decipher them. Why don't we take a guess, will the Dusk of the Universe arrive first, or will your Son of Dawn find the fifth treasure vault first? "
The man on the throne waved his hand, and a ball of dim yellow light appeared in front of the high platform. The light reflected the land of a certain planet. Wildfire spread everywhere, and screams filled the sky. The pitch-black army advanced silently, silently but firmly destroying every obstacle on the ground. Cities, armies, and experts were buried under their feet one by one. In the end, only a burning wilderness was left.
As more and more balls of light appeared, scenes like this kept appearing before Russell's eyes. Every ball of light reflected the scene of a certain planet in the universe. On some planets, the Burning Legion encountered resistance, but most of them were powerless to stop the advance of that black army.
The entire universe was burning.
That was the song of dusk!
"Every wise man knows that we can precisely calculate every part of the entire plan, no matter how small it is. But whether this plan will succeed in the end is not within our control. " Russell turned his head and smiled at the man on the throne. "It's the same for me. I started this plan, but the details need to be filled in by others. The conclusion will need to be aided by a certain descendant after a long period of time. "I don't know if it will succeed in the end, nor do I care."
"Compared to this, don't you intend to give it a try?"
"Try what?"
Russell pointed at him and said, "Try absorbing me. This way, you should be able to leap to the pinnacle of this universe's power."
"Sovereign?" The man on the throne laughed. "I'm not interested. Right now, my power is only a step away from becoming a Sovereign. As for the rules, the Creator gave me the rules to kill Sovereigns. So, you see, advancing to Sovereign is something that doesn't matter to me. "But you, you've already fallen into my hands, yet you still haven't forgotten to scheme. Don't tell me I don't know that you intend to fight with me for this body. After all, the fusion of wills is a two-way process. If you don't willingly open up your own will, then the fusion will evolve into a spiritual battle. Although I don't think I'll lose to an incomplete will, why should I take this risk? "
"Then you're really cautious. But I have to remind you. To destroy a will, ordinary methods won't be effective. You can only pull me into the spiritual world. Won't that bring about the same result? " Russell smiled. "In the end, we still have to fight in the spiritual world. Why don't we do it quickly?"
"There's no need to rush. I'll destroy you as soon as possible. But not now. Right now, you're a bait, and I'm going to catch a big fish. "
"Fishing?" Russell said. "So you have such an interest."
"Originally, there wasn't." He patted his chest. "But the owner of this body is even more cunning than you. I know that he's hiding somewhere in this world. Without bait, this big fish won't take the bait so easily. "
"Right now, I just want to know if he knows that there's a Dusk Will in the Withering Hall."
Russell smiled. "If that's the case, then he doesn't deserve to be called cunning."
"Because he wants to win this battle. After all, if he loses, his son will suffer." The man on the throne laughed. "So, you see, even the most cunning person has a weakness. Russell, what is your weakness? "
