This was because they had no understanding of the real Undead World, and were unable to grasp the true meaning of the Laws of the Undead World. If they had entered the Undead World earlier, perhaps they would have become Undead Lords of the Sanctuary-realm in just 1,300 years.
However, the legendary World of the Undead was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. The only rule of survival there was strength. The Undead creatures would devour each other's soul fire, and the Undead Lords would fight for territory. The loser would only have their soul fire devoured. Hence, not every Undead creature in Anril had the courage to enter the Undead World. Even the three Undead Lords of the Shadowglen might not be able to guarantee their smooth survival in the Undead World.
Furthermore, there was basically no possibility of returning to Anril after entering the Undead World. Even if there were Necromancers who could cast the Tide of Death and summon a large number of Undead creatures from the Undead World, it would be difficult for the Undead Lords to get out of the Whirlpool of Death. Perhaps only an existence like the Immortal King could summon Undead creatures of the Undead Lord level when he cast the Tide of Death.
However, Ujfalusi and Norfeller were fortunate enough to enter the Undead World created by the Immortal King, and obtain the true meaning of the Laws of the Undead World from there. This way, they did not have to go back to the Undead World. As long as they understood the true meaning of the Laws of the Undead World, they would have a high chance of successfully entering the Sanctuary-realm.
Just like Ujfalusi and Norfeller, Ujfalusi's Crimson Humerus Wyrm and Lin Li's Crimson Dragon also had the same understanding of the true meaning of the Laws of the Undead World when they obtained a large amount of soul fire. This meant that the door to the Sanctuary-realm was slowly opening for them, and was only waiting for them to walk to the door and step in.
Lin Li was well aware of the gains his subordinates had made, but his mind was not on this at the moment. Instead, he was thinking about the question he had in the Undead World. What was the relationship between the Undead Tree and the Tree of Eternity? Why was there a living Seed of Eternity left behind after the Undead Tree collapsed?
He thought of the Undead tree that supported the sky and the earth, the legend of the Tree of Eternity, the countless Undead creatures bred by the Undead tree, the legend of the Tree of Eternity breeding the High Elves, and the dead Seed of Eternity that he had obtained in the Central Tower. Lin Li connected all these things together in his mind, and gradually formed a relatively clear connection.
Perhaps the Immortal King had obtained two Seeds of Eternity, but both of them were already dead. The Immortal King created the Undead World and planted the Seed of Eternity, allowing the death of the Tree of Eternity to become life in the Undead World. In fact, it seemed to be the same for Undead creatures. The end of a life meant a new life in another form.
The death of an undead creature was the extinguishment of its soul fire. This clearly did not conform to the transition between life and death. However, the Tree of Eternity did not have a soul fire. In that case, did its death in the undead world signify a different kind of life compared to the undead rules? Perhaps the Immortal King's goal was to form a connection between life and death that reversed the cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, Lin Li could not understand the deeper mysteries of the Laws at his current level. However, on the surface, it seemed that the Immortal King had really achieved the reversal of life and death. The death of the Undead tree in the Undead World gave birth to another form of rebirth. That was the origin of the Seed of Eternity that had vitality.
However, Lin Li's eyes lit up at the thought of having two Trees of Eternity from now on. He suddenly thought of something else. He remembered that before he transmigrated to Anril, the legend in the game Endless World seemed to say that the High Elves were born from the twin Trees of Eternity. However, there was only one Tree of Eternity in the legend of Anril. What was the mystery behind this?
It seemed rather foolish to link Anril with the game Endless World. However, through the series of experiences in Anril, Lin Li could be sure that there had to be a certain connection between this world and the Endless World.
For example, why did the seven pieces of the debris of the stars appear in Anril, and why there were no legends of the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury in Anril? Also, why did the Whispering God of the Endless World appear in Prince Brahere's mausoleum? Also, why did he end up entering the Endless Labyrinth that he had designed when he first explored the Sky Castle?
These questions were enough to make Lin Li believe that there were at least many things in Anril that were related to the Endless World. In that case, Lin Li had to consider why the High Elves of Anril only had one Tree of Eternity, and not were born from the twin Trees of Eternity like in the legend of the Endless World.
Lin Li had no clue as to the reason behind this, and naturally could not get the real answer. However, he remembered that in the legend of the Endless World, the High Elves that were born from the twin Trees of Eternity were much more glorious than the High Elves of Anril. Not only did they rule the world for a longer period of time, but they also developed much more vigorously. Although they were of the same race, there was such a huge difference. The only difference could be the Tree of Eternity.
At the thought of this, Lin Li couldn't help but feel more expectant. The Tower of Dusk had already planted a Tree of Eternity, and if they were to plant this new tree, how far would the Tower of Dusk develop with two Trees of Eternity?
"Master Felic, do you have time?" Archbishop Martin walked towards Lin Li with a smile on his face, but his tone was a little strange. It was as if he was trying his best to hold back his laughter after being tickled.
Lin Li had always respected the elderly and loved the young. Although he had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he still maintained his usual respect for elders like Archbishop Martin. He gestured for Archbishop Martin to sit on a chair beside him before asking, "Archbishop, please take a seat. Do you have any thoughts on the next exploration plan?"
The most important thing now was to explore the Sky Castle. Hence, when Archbishop Martin took the initiative to look for him, Lin Li naturally thought of that. After all, the previous few times that Archbishop Martin had looked for him, it seemed to be for the sake of the exploration. He would either ask about the plan or act as a mediator on behalf of the Rotterdam Kingdom.
However, this time, after hearing Lin Li's question, Archbishop Martin suddenly seemed a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Master Felic, ever since you helped Pope Rosario get rid of the Viper's poison, it's been a long time since you've visited the Brilliance Shrine."
Archbishop Martin knew that Lin Li did not approve of his identity as the Son of The Holy Light, so he did not mention it at first. Instead, he used the fact that he had helped Pope Rosario get rid of the poison in order to get closer to him.
However, Lin Li was stunned to hear that. Archbishop Martin's words seemed to be out of the blue. The most important thing now was to explore the Sky Castle. Why did he bring up the past? This was not the time to reminisce about the past.
Seeing Lin Li's puzzled expression, Archbishop Martin felt a little awkward. It did not seem right to invite Lin Li to be a guest because he had a use for him. However, at the thought of how the Power of Holy Light could directly increase the strength of his subordinates by one or two levels, Archbishop Martin gritted his teeth and made up his mind to get the matter done no matter how awkward he felt.
"Master Felic, here's the thing. I was thinking of inviting you to the Brilliance Shrine as a guest if you have the time after this exploration. You've already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and I'm sure Pope Rosario would love to see you again. " In order to invite Lin Li to the Brilliance Shrine, Archbishop Martin dragged Pope Rosario out again. In his opinion, Lin Li should have just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm not long ago. Hence, he would definitely want to find someone to talk to about many things in the Sanctuary-realm.
Although Archbishop Martin's invitation seemed to be a little inappropriate, Lin Li did not think too much about it. Besides, he also felt that it would be a good thing to have a chat with Pope Rosario, since he had mainly stepped into the Sanctuary-realm with the Laws of Light and Darkness as his foundation.
Hence, Lin Li did not reject the invitation, and instead readily said, "Archbishop Martin, you're being too polite. I've indeed wanted to ask Pope Rosario some questions for a long time. If the exploration is completed safely this time, I'll visit the Brilliance Shrine."
There was initially nothing much, but when Archbishop Martin heard Lin Li's agreement, he couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. His eyes glistened with joy, and he said, "Okay, Master Felic, it's a deal then."
Lin Li was initially a little puzzled as to why Archbishop Martin was so excited when he agreed to go to the Brilliance Shrine as a guest. However, when he glanced at the team of the Brilliance Shrine, he saw that many people seemed to be paying attention to them too. He finally figured it out. However, Lin Li was not worried that the Brilliance Shrine would covet the Holy Light in his hands. If it were in the past, he would definitely be worried, but now that he was also in the Sanctuary-realm, Rosario might not fall out with him for the sake of the Holy Light.
While Lin Li and Archbishop Martin were chatting amiably, Donald from the Rotterdam Kingdom couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the scene of the conversation between the two. When the three forces first met, Donald felt that the Tower of Dusk was just there to make up the numbers, and that only the Brilliance Shrine could contend with his team. However, he never thought that the Tower of Dusk, a force that he had never heard of, would actually produce a Sanctuary powerhouse that he could only look up to.
