In the first year of FT (Dawn Era), the eternal Holy War between Order and Chaos met with a new challenge. When the River Styx's reincarnation water flowed into an unknown territory, the entire world's cycle of reincarnation was broken.
This wasn't an adjective used to describe the destruction of the old order. Instead, it was a literal meaning. The flow of the River Styx was the binding of souls. And when that binding was broken, countless souls obtained freedom.
Those who died in battle from the first year of the Dawn Era to the fourth year of FT were the lucky ones. The old cycle of reincarnation was broken, and the new cycle of reincarnation hadn't matured yet. They broke free of the River Styx's binding, and many souls directly reincarnated, skipping the so-called mystery of being in the womb. The lucky ones who successfully reincarnated with their memories and the experience of two lives stood at the peak of all other lives.
But those who died in battle in those years were the unluckiest. Although the River Styx was the binding of souls, it was also a protective mechanism for weak souls who had lost their physical bodies and lives. Without the protection of the River Styx, even the strongest and luckiest souls would be able to successfully reincarnate. Although it was impossible to calculate the survival rate, when considering the tremendous number of people who died in battle, the later generations would calculate the success rate of reincarnation to be less than 1%.
In the end, the lucky ones who successfully reincarnated would have too much contact with other memory fragments in the Cycle of Reincarnation. They would also have to face the splitting of their souls and multiple personalities caused by their mixed memories. In the end, only less than one out of ten "heaven-blessed" individuals would be able to obtain their "true self."
And since there was a bug in the system, there would be those lucky or unlucky "beneficiaries" of the bug. Naturally, there would also be cheaters who would take advantage of the bug.
The fastest and most ruthless were the Aillé Faction … or perhaps it should be called the Hades Faction now. After all, they were the ones who actively created this bug. With Roland's usual style, how could he possibly miss such a good opportunity? Everything had been planned from the very beginning.
Along with the fall of the Divine Kingdom, the Valkyrie Palace and God's Envoys, these powerful souls of heroes also had to make a choice. After all, the Valkyrie Palace itself was a product of the Order Faction's Origin of Order. Without the Order Faction's support, it would be even more difficult for ordinary Gods to support Valkyrie.
"They have two choices. One is to perish together with the Divine Kingdom in the Underworld and become a member of the Underworld as the dead. However, it's easy to enter, but difficult to leave. The other choice is to take advantage of the fact that the hole in the Cycle of Reincarnation has yet to be mended and reincarnate."
Yes, this was the loophole that Roland and the others exploited. This loophole. This loophole that Roland and Roland Roland Roland and the "special" form of undead. From a Soul, Valkyrie could choose to reincarnate.
Unlike those who reincarnated naturally, who had an extremely low probability of retaining the memories of two lives, the souls of heroes weren't so fragile. The Valkyrie body created for heroic souls would also allow them to maintain the integrity of their souls in the Cycle of Reincarnation. The success rate of their reincarnation was one hundred percent.
And these newborns who were destined to grow up in the Holy War would possess the experiences, memories, and techniques of heroes, as well as a complete physical body with the ability to evolve. As long as they didn't die on the path of growth, they were destined to go even further in their previous lives.
Of course, entering the Cycle of Reincarnation would mean starting all over again. The conflict between the new personality and the original personality would be unavoidable. Before they "awakened" to become "heroes," they still had a long way to go. But after these seeds of heroes were scattered all over the world, they were destined to sprout and grow in the Holy War.
"… Perhaps this can make up for the lack of players … of the lack of backup combat strength in the mortal plane. You see, for mortals who are suffering, perhaps your neighbor is a famous Emperor in history, or a great Dragonslayer who vanquished demons. Since these heroes have become mortals once again, they will naturally fight for the mortals' future. A single hero can protect an entire town, turn the tide of a battle, and can even lead a team. They're far more useful than Valkyrie, who can only act as a hired thug and whose strength has stagnated. "
Roland used such words to convince the Gods of the Hades to give his Valkyrie and God Envoys the right to choose, allowing these seeds of heroes … who would later be known as the "Heavenly Bestowers" to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation.
And when the other True Gods understood what the Gods of the Hades were doing and began to follow suit, the new Cycle of Reincarnation had already begun to mend its loopholes. Not many followed the previous Cycle of Reincarnation. This casual action of the Gods of the Hades was destined to have far-reaching effects.
After all, compared to the "player heroes" in the game's history that needed to grow, these existences that had already been proven to have great achievements in history had the ability to start all over again. No matter if it was in terms of willpower or personal ability, these existences were far more skilled at cheating than the players who "reincarnated to play games."
For example, if someone like Longtu were to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation again, perhaps in just a few decades, the dragons would be in deep trouble. A single hero would represent an entire generation. When the generations that followed had countless heroes, it would seem that some things were destined to change.
More than ten Divine Kingdoms fell into the Plane of Hades, but not all of them entered the Plane of Hades. Instead, they wandered around the plane. After all, the Plane of Hades was a country of the dead. How could there be a place for the living?
When that plane fully matured, existences that weren't powerful enough to break free from the dimensional laws of the plane would also become the dead. This included Gods that were below the level of Main Gods. If these Gods left their Divine Kingdoms in the Hell of Hades, the corrosive dimensional laws of death would transform them into a part of the Plane of Hades.
"The Gods of the Kingdom of the Dead can only be Gods that are already dead."
Of course, there were those who avoided the impending change of life and death, and there were also those who chose to accept the change and become the Gods of Hades.
The God of Fate's Divine Kingdom had already seeped into the earth. As one of the top-ranked Gods of Hades, he had already chosen to become a member and the backbone of the Hades.
The God of Dwarves Mary's Divine Kingdom was also docked in this territory. She also had to fulfill her promise with Aillé and become the protector of the Hades.
The other three Gods who had made the same choice as them were also about to "take their jobs" as promised.
But even those who didn't bring their Divine Kingdoms to the Hades would become members of the entire Hades Pantheon. However, their belonging would not be limited to the Hell of Hades.
At the top of the Hell of Hades, the Gods' Divine Kingdoms were merging together. A paradise was taking shape in the void. This new Divine Kingdom would be built according to the "Paradise for the Sinners" of the Divine Law. These Gods would also become the embryonic form of the Heaven of Hades.
Between the newly formed "Heaven" and "Hell" was more than just the void. With a part of the Ghostwind Plains as the core, the original Titans and Supreme Immemorial Dragons were busy working. Since they were able to survive across dimensions, they were naturally the strongest existences in the world. But right now, they were nothing more than hardworking construction workers.
Some of them were busy marking the shattered earth with new dimensional markings so that it would be easier for them to migrate. Some were helping to reassemble the shattered pieces of the new world. Some were traveling back and forth, drawing dimensional coordinates. Some were providing protection for the fragile ordinary lives. For the future of themselves and their people, they were incredibly busy.
And when the Gods of Heaven stabilized, they would also provide them with helpers.
In Roland's blueprint, the Hell of Hades was a three-level design. The topmost Heaven of Hades would become the residence of the Gods and the Sinners. The middle "Land of Spring" would become a world for mortals and animals. The Titans and dragons would become its guardians. And the bottom would naturally be the most important part, the Hell of Hades.
With the help of the Four Elemental Towers, the Hell of Hades and the Hell of Hades would receive at least "one" amount of nourishment and supply, while the Hell of Hades would receive at least "one" amount.
After all, the other two Hell Planes were only temporary supporting Hell of Hades. They were only temporary facilities to allow Hell of Hades to function normally. The true supporting world for Hell of Hades would only be the entire world of Aichy. In that case, the Hell of Hades would naturally be more than one hundred times larger and more powerful than the other two Hell Planes.
Now, a large amount of the River Styx was bringing souls into the Hades. A new Cycle of Reincarnation needed to be activated. The Hell of Hades needed to be officially activated. We no longer had any path of retreat.
And, our enemies also had no path of retreat!
The Hell of Hades had already been torn apart. Leaving this Hell would be equivalent to voluntarily jumping into the Void. The survival rate would probably start from three decimal places. And once the Hell of Hades was formed, the entire world would be affected by the Law of Death. Even if Main God existences were able to survive in any Hell Plane, including the Hades, it would be inevitable that their power levels would be affected by the Law of Death. Meanwhile, the subordinates and armies that they summoned would definitely have to stay in the Hades forever.
From their perspective, the best outcome for them would naturally be to destroy us and then occupy this broken Hell Plane. They would then wait for the two major factions to rediscover the coordinates of this broken Hell Plane and bring them back. Then, they would ask for rewards from the two major factions.
But, since they were willing to take the risk to come here, they would definitely have considered such a difficult situation. The final result was obvious — when enemies met on a narrow path, only the courageous would emerge victorious!
The horn to charge sounded. Numerous Dimensional Doors opened. However, this time, it wasn't our enemies who came out.
One by one, Valkyrie walked out from the Dimensional Doors. The Night Tower and the White Tower both shone brilliantly. The aura of the Netherworld gave these "undead" even greater power, while the power of ice gave them powerful physical bodies.
That's right, the Valkyrie of the Hades Gods now had two major choices. The first choice was to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation and start all over again. The second choice was to become a member of the Hades and fight for the mortal world's Heaven and Hell.
At this point, the Hades Gods wouldn't hold back at all. If it wasn't for the fact that they needed to first stabilize the Heaven Plane, it was likely that their incarnations, which had placed most of their divine power, would have personally entered the fray as well, even if it was impossible to take back their divine power.
"It seems that this will be a difficult and drawn-out battle."
Looking at the three lit up Hell Towers, even though the Black Tower and White Tower had already played an important role in this battle, I still wasn't satisfied.
In front of a Main God, the Valkyrie Gods would only need a single slash to kill them. Even if they could revive … would an infinitely revived ant be able to kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
As for the golden tower represented by Holy Light, it was actually the same as "Time". It was the most critical coordinate system, representing the order in which all things existed … To put it in simpler terms, it represented a type of direction, the direction in which things constantly advanced.
Humans would grow old, machines would age, and it would be impossible to reverse time. This was how "Time" felt to mortals. No matter if they were happy or sad, mortals would indeed advance in time. And in the Hell of Hades, Holy Light also represented a type of direction.
"Our Holy Light is now completely different from the God of Holy Light. Our Holy Light represents' Salvation. '"
That's right, this was the direction of the Hell of Hades. Sinners would be punished in Hell, while criminals would be punished in prison. Being punished and suffering wasn't the ultimate goal. Instead, the ultimate goal was to atone for one's sins and be punished in Hell for the sins they had committed while they were still alive. Only then would they be able to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation cleanly. This would also serve as a warning to mortals to do good in the mortal world and not commit so many sins.
And the direction in which the Hell of Hades operated would naturally result in the salvation of both mortals and Hell's souls. This was doubtlessly an important part of the Hell of Hades. After the Hell of Hades took shape, it would be even more effective and wondrous. But now …
"No matter how bright you are, it won't be of any use."
But on the battlefield right now, the Light of Salvation itself was basically useless against the Main God level existences! In fact, it wasn't even as effective as the Holy Light of Purification from the large light bulb not far away.
"It would seem that I'll have to depend on the Tower of Law in the end."
The silver Holy Tower was still silent as if it was accumulating power. Only I knew that if "Salvation" was the direction and goal of the Hell of Hades, then "Law" would be the method to achieve this goal. It could be said that every corner of the future Hell of Hades would become a land of Law.
And the Tower of Law that was currently being lit would become the true core of the entire Hell of Hades.
Wumianzhe, who was at the top of the tower, had finished his final preparations. The Hell of Hades was about to welcome a new chapter.
