"We've been awake ever since we entered the underground world." Sister Puppet indicated that she had been monitoring this place for a long time.
"The war here can be summed up in one sentence. Two guys, in pursuit of immortality, deliberately created this thousand-year war." Sister Puppet sent a message to Lin Dong, Yun Jiyu, Qianjun, and Ye Qianru.
"Two guys?" Yun Jiyu guessed that there must be a big boss behind the scenes in the Holy Land, but she didn't expect it to be two people.
"Two!" Qianjun and Ye Qianru were also a little surprised.
"After a few days of careful observation, we discovered the true secret of the Holy Land." Sister Puppet explained slowly, "The reason why the Holy Land is always bright is because of the existence of the Orb of Greed. We don't know when the Orb of Greed was sealed in the Holy Land, but I know that it's frantically collecting all kinds of energy in an attempt to break the ancient seal. "
"The bloody war between the angels and demons was caused by it? Ah, wait, this war is a blood sacrifice? "Ye Qianru immediately realized.
"No wonder the two sides are fighting so crazily!" Yun Jiyu nodded.
"No," Sister Puppet immediately denied. "It's not as simple as a blood sacrifice. It's preparing to use a large number of souls as sacrifices to break the ancient seal, and it's done this many times. Of course, it's not what we see on the surface. It's a very clever design, an irresistible temptation from the heart. "
"The Orb of Greed hypnotized the minds of the two leaders of the Holy Land, granting them great power, supreme power, and endless material desires. However, it set a time limit. As the targets, the two leaders of the Holy Land can live for a maximum of a thousand years, and after five hundred years, they will look very old. If the two leaders of the Holy Land can't provide it with a satisfactory gift, then they will face death and disintegration. The two leaders of the Holy Land who have everything, in pursuit of infinite immortality, made all kinds of crazy plans to fight. Angels and demons are just their respective races, and they were originally the same creatures of the Holy Land. In the name of justice or revenge, the two leaders of the Holy Land fought an endless war, especially when the two leaders of the Holy Land are about to reach the end of their lifespans. It's even crazier, like now! " The puppet sister said that all of this was caused by the Orb of Greed. Of course, the executioners were the two leaders of the Holy Land who pursued immortality.
"In that case, everything makes sense!" Qianjun nodded.
"Where is the Orb of Greed?" Lin Dong wanted to know the location of the Orb of Greed.
"The position of its main body is in the core of the City of Angels in the sky of the Holy Land, the Light Templar. However, it was cunning and did not place all of its spiritual consciousness there. Most of its spiritual consciousness was still buried deep in the Holy Land's core. Its main spiritual consciousness was still restricted by the ancient seal, so it was not possible for it to completely leave for the time being. Because of the ancient seal, we couldn't go deeper. We only know the approximate location of its main consciousness. "The puppet sister said that the Orb of Greed had been split into two.
"You weren't discovered by it, right?" Lin Dong asked again.
"We're not idiots who would be seen through by some cultivator with a spell!" The puppet sister did not hesitate to ridicule Lin Dong.
"Sigh, be careful not to let Fairy Listening Dreams hear you. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop her if she wants to punish us …" Lin Dong told the puppet sister not to involve Fairy Listening Dreams. She had a bad temper and might be even narrower than the tip of a needle.
"As a man, you're useless!" The puppet sister did not dare to ridicule Fairy Listening Dreams anymore.
"It's all your fault." Lin Dong put the blame on everyone.
"Alright, let's get back to the topic at hand!" Qianjun was speechless. We can understand that you two will feel uncomfortable if you don't bicker for a day, but this is not the right time!
"Hahaha!" Yun Jiyu was overjoyed.
She suddenly felt that this kind of life was actually more interesting.
If everyone lived together like Junior Sister Yun You You, practicing all day, it would be a little monotonous.
One or two days was fine.
It would not do if they lived like that for the rest of their lives.
Occasionally, some would bicker, some would act cute, some would be mischievous and get beaten up, and some would drag someone over to learn from them whenever they had the chance. This kind of life was more interesting!
"Tell me about the two leaders of the Holy Land!" Ye Qianru tried to be the peacemaker.
"The two leaders of the Holy Land, one of them controls the Holy Land, the other controls the Fallen Land. Usually, they have nothing to do with each other. Based on their own needs, they constantly adjust the combat power of the two camps. Then, they continuously exhaust each other and wage war under various pretexts to satisfy the demand of the Orb of Greed. After obtaining the power bestowed by the Orb of Greed, the two leaders of the Holy Land would find ways to cultivate a large number of seeds in their own camps. For example, the red-haired Osborn and the cuckold Barry were failed seeds in the cultivation process. "The puppet sister pointed out that Osborn and Barry were failed seeds.
"Then the successful seed is Lemaire?" Qianjun reacted quickly and immediately realized the successful example.
"Yes." The puppet sister confirmed.
"How many successful seeds like Lemaire are there?" Lin Dong asked.
"There shouldn't be more than a hundred in the entire Holy Land," the puppet sister replied. "We didn't count them carefully, but we estimate the number to be around eighty."
"Eighty is not a small number. Eighty Lemaire is a powerful force! And this is only the Holy Land. The Fallen Land should have the same number of successful seeds. "Ye Qianru felt that this number was already very impressive.
"Actually, that's not how it is calculated." The puppet sister explained. "There are very few successful seeds like Lemaire who are less than two hundred years old. At most, there are ten of them. After all, the probability of creating a successful seed is very low, and the conditions required are very high. The Orb of Greed won't easily let this number grow. The other successful seeds are some of the older ones. They were created in earlier batches. The youngest is three to four hundred years old, and there are also five to six hundred years old. These people are all old men who are about to reach the end of their lifespan. The leader of the Holy Land usually relies on these people to run the Holy Land and let them form a group of elders to govern the Holy Land. However, he will never invest too many resources into these people because they are all outdated seeds. "
"I understand. You mean that the leader of the Holy Land needs young seeds like Lemaire. That means the leader of the Holy Land needs a new body every thousand years? So a young seed like Lemaire is one of their candidates? "Qianjun completely understood.
"That's right." The puppet sister confirmed. "Lemaire is one of the candidates. However, the leader of the Holy Land is very smart. He won't let anyone see through his disguise. If he takes over Lemaire's body, he will focus on nurturing Lemaire. This will give people the illusion that Lemaire will be the successor of the previous leader of the Holy Land. Once Lemaire is taken over by him, the leader of the Holy Land will use Lemaire's body to take office. This way, all the leaders of the Holy Land will be him. On the other hand, the leader of the Holy Land who controls the Land of the Fallen is doing the same thing. "
"The Thousand Year War was to prepare for this kind of parasite? I mean, to nurture a seed like Lemaire? " Ye Qianru felt that the two leaders of the Holy Land were actually very scheming. They played the Holy Land and the Land of the Fallen in circles. Unfortunately, they would never know that the real source of motivation was the Greed Orb's hint.
"Did the two leaders of the Holy Land not notice the Greed Orb's intentions?" Yun Jiyu asked.
"The Greed Orb has always been playing dumb. Everything it shows is unconscious. No matter how the two leaders try to probe it, it won't respond. It will only grant them power and lifespan after a sacrifice." The puppet sister expressed that the Greed Orb was even more cunning.
"That's too scary!" Qianjun felt that if the higher-ups wanted to play tricks, the lower-ups could only foolishly treat them as pawns that could be discarded at any time.
The worst part was that there was always a mountain higher than the mountain.
The two leaders of the Holy Land thought that they could play the Holy Land and the Land of the Fallen in the palm of their hands. But they didn't know that they were just pawns.
No wonder even the puppet sisters needed a few days to find out the truth.
The truth.
To be honest.
It was a bit crazy.
Lin Dong thought for a bit and quickly made a decision. "We'll think of a way to dig out the Greed Orb. The main consciousness is sealed too deeply, so we can't dig it out. We have to find a way to take its body."
"I knew you wouldn't let go of any treasure!" The puppet sister snorted. "Be careful of the Greed Orb's curse!"
"There's a curse on it?" Lin Dong hesitated for a second.
"What do you think?" The puppet sister asked.
"What's the curse?" Lin Dong felt that curses were something that needed to be dealt with carefully. But that wasn't a reason to give up.
"It makes people endlessly greedy and magnifies every hidden desire in humans. At the same time, it will make people crazy!" The puppet sister suddenly smiled mischievously. "But I think this curse is ineffective on master because master's greed for treasures can't be magnified anymore!"
"Well said!" The puppet sister couldn't help but give the puppet sister a thumbs up.
"After you've been repaired, you've learned how to complain." Lin Dong was a little dizzy. The puppet sister had become more intelligent. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
"We'll talk about the treasures when we have the chance. For now, let's find a way to enter the Griffon Castle!" Ye Qianru advised Lin Dong to pay attention to the changes in the real world.
The door to the Griffon Castle opened.
The Guardians of Light came out with their weapons again. It seemed that they were going to cover for the human exploration team.
Their attitude surprised the human expedition members who had been hostile to them before. Even Big Ivan felt a little guilty for blaming them wrongly.
"Let's stay until the end!" Griffon said to Jonathan. "We have to win back some dignity for the human team!"
"Okay!" Jonathan nodded in agreement.
"Little chief, we'll stay too?" Fang Yizhi wanted to show the demeanor of a Selese nation. The problem was that his main responsibility was to protect Lin Dong. Without Lin Dong's permission, he didn't dare to make any arrangements.
"Then you guys stay and cover for everyone to enter the castle!" Lin Dong felt that even if these fellows were to be sold, they would only help to count the money, so he couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
"Yes!" Fang Yizhi didn't notice that Lin Dong was speechless. He was proud of being able to show the demeanor of a great nation to outsiders.
On the side of the demon camp.
They seemed to have noticed the unusual movements of the human exploration team.
The Phantom Vultures howled again. They swooped down densely, guiding the attack target.
Countless monsters rushed up. They didn't know if it was because the Guards of Light were careless, or because there were too many monsters and they were too fierce.
A group of monsters broke through the defense line and rushed into the team. They were extremely fast. Among them, a strong Devouring Demon rushed at the front. In a few seconds, it had already charged in front of Lin Dong. No matter how hard Fang Yizhi and the others tried to stop it, it was unstoppable. It was determined to meet Lin Dong face to face …
When it opened its huge mouth, it revealed a mouthful of fangs.
Lin Dong ignored it and turned around.
He walked toward the castle.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru had the same reaction.
Only Yun Jiyu flew up. With a shout, her fist flew across the sky like lightning and landed on the Devouring Demon's forehead.
In the next second, a bloody hole bigger than a basin appeared on the back of the Devouring Demon's head. Countless broken bones, brain matter, fascia, and blood spurted out from the huge bloody hole …
The Devouring Demon didn't even have time to scream before it fell to the ground.
Everyone was silent.
