After successfully passing the "test" of the Holy Light Mountain appointment, Chen Rui's life returned to peace.
From time to time, there were sounds of laughter in the house. Chen Rui usually accompanied his beloved wives and precious daughters and fought with his bad friends. Sometimes, he would "travel" to the Bloody Empire and the Shadow Empire to serve as a special psychological (physiological) consultant for the 2 empresses.
Although there was still the 10-year appointment with Satan, with his current strength, especially after the test of the battle of the Holy Light Mountain, there was definitely no need to panic as before. The only thing that he didn't slack off was training.
Not only Chen Rui, but the rest were also the same. The previous tense atmosphere was indeed related to the developed training habits, but it was more of an active and conscious behavior.
This time, the special training in the UFO was launched again. Except for the Pseudo-God Ben Hong and Rolla, the 3 empresses who couldn't spare time, the pregnant Athena and her non-combatants, almost all the royal family members participated in this training.
For Chen Rui, the more gods in the Super System "universe", the purer and larger the faith, the stronger his own power. This had been fully verified in the battle of the Holy Light Mountain. Even Raphael, who had the [Body of Light Healing] and was almost immortal, might not be able to withstand the "Celestial Star God Mirror" that contained the power of 18 gods.
Since the quota of the Super Link was not endless, and the objects of the Super Link could not be expanded indefinitely, Chen Rui must screen carefully. The most important factor was naturally reliability. Several reliable friends such as Tetenis and Aldas had become the new batch of people who received 1-star strengthening. The 2 servants, Celine and Sicali, who originally received 1-star strengthening, also received it. In the spirit of "not wasting", Chen Rui still gave them 2-star strengthening. Whether these people could understand the mystery of 2-star strengthening depended on their luck.
Only 5 people who had received 2-star strengthening, Guradam, Alice, Medelu, Joanna, and Ina had not succeeded. Compared with the other 4 people, Guradam was particularly conspicuous.
This Corpse Necromancer was extremely talented, actually being able to transform into a wandering soul in the Floating Land, devouring its own kind to strengthen itself. Its growth rate was the most shocking. Not only that, Guradam is also proficient in dark magic, and he has made unprecedented brilliant achievements in the undead magic domain derived from dark magic. He is extraordinary in terms of strength and wisdom. Such a powerful person has not completed 2-star strengthening until now!
According to Ben Hong, strength was only one of the factors for successful two-star strengthening, but it wasn't the only one. The key was the perception of faith and life. For example, Adeline wasn't a combat type, but she completed two-star strengthening earlier than Lomont and the others and became a god of music. No matter which path it was, a strong determination was a necessary condition.
The persistence in one's heart was largely proportional to the degree of loyalty or trust. For example, Samuel's strength was far inferior to Guradam's, but his loyalty to Chen Rui could be described as a fanatic. He could sacrifice his life for this master without hesitation. It was this obsession that allowed Samuel to master the true meaning of faith of "loyalty" and become a god in charge of "loyalty" and "faith".
In contrast, Guradam was only willing to sign a master-slave contract back then. Although he made great contributions in the battle between Jía and Obsidian, he was only passively surrendering after all. There was no loyalty to speak of.
This time, the Corpse Necromancer followed everyone into the Chaos Realm. Relying on the "golden finger" of devouring wandering souls, he continuously devoured enemies of the same level. His strength actually reached the peak of the kingdom in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Guradam found Chen Rui.
Chen Rui was baffled by the servant whose relationship was almost marginalized suddenly asking to see him in private. What was even more baffling was the matter proposed by Guradam.
"The true meaning of 'death power'?" Chen Rui was a little surprised.
"Yes." Guradam nodded, "Master's strength is now at the peak of the world. Please give me some pointers."
Chen Rui shook his head, "It's not that I deliberately reserved it, but my path of power is different from ordinary people … My understanding of 'death' is not as good as yours. How can I answer your doubts?"
"This kind of situation has actually appeared before this special training. I once asked Lord Benhong, and Lord Benhong said that only His Lordship can help me."
"Ben Hong?" Chen Rui frowned slightly. Ben Hong has always been very dissatisfied with Guradam's loyalty and the progress of 2-star strengthening. Is there any other intention in doing this?
"In fact," Guradam bowed his head and said, "It's not that I'm eager to promote to Demi-God after reaching the peak of the kingdom, but … this kind of understanding is urgent for me. Previously, I turned into a wandering soul and used a trick to devour the soul power of countless wandering souls. My strength jumped from the early stage of the kingdom to the peak of the kingdom in one fell swoop. However, I didn't expect that what I devoured was only the power on the surface. The unconscious soul power of the dead is all accumulated in my soul. Not only can I not absorb it, but my soul is also constantly being eroded and split. If this continues, my soul will be completely annihilated and become a real wandering soul that loses its consciousness. The only way is to understand the true meaning of 'death' and turn all the devoured soul power into my own to completely solve my crisis. "
"How could this be!" Chen Rui frowned even tighter. Generally speaking, the corpse necromancer is immortal. As long as the soul essence in the phylactery is not damaged, he will not die even if the possessed body is destroyed. However, Guradam's soul has a problem now. Even if the phylactery is hidden in a secret place, it doesn't help.
Once Guradam's own soul disappears, the phylactery will automatically be destroyed, leaving only the unconscious body of the Peak Kingdom. It will be no different from other wandering souls in the UFO Land.
Therefore, after getting Ben Hong's hint, Guradam immediately took the initiative to find Chen Rui to ask for advice.
"To be honest, the way of death is a strange field for me. What I have mastered is only the power of destruction." A faint light appeared in Chen Rui's hand. Guradam clearly felt the chilling pure power of destruction, "However, Guradam, you should be very clear that from the perspective of a corpse necromancer who has mastered the power of the undead, 'destruction' and 'death' are two completely different concepts."
"Master's guidance back then gave me a lot of inspiration." Guradam shook his head, "Besides, Sir Ben Hong said that even she has no way. Only Master has a way to let me understand the true meaning of 'death'."
Chen Rui was silent. No matter what Ben Hong's purpose was, this really gave him a big problem.
Guradam's true value was not his own power, but his special talent. As the most outstanding undead magician and immortal corpse necromancer, Guradam could control a large number of undead legions, which played an important role in the future plan. Even if he didn't consider the issue of loyalty, he was a servant that couldn't be easily given up.
Guradam's current situation was a bit similar to his own realm and soul power couldn't keep up with the skyrocketing power. The most important thing was that the power of the wandering souls that he devoured might make Guradam's soul "explode" at any time. It was just like an ordinary person in a martial arts novel who had no internal power was suddenly instilled with decades of internal power, and he didn't have the corresponding mental method to guide and cast it, so it wasn't surprising that he would explode one day.
Therefore, Guradam's most urgent need was the "mental method" that matched his current power. If he could understand the so-called "true meaning of death", not only could he absorb those unconscious soul power, but his strength was also likely to rise to a higher level.
The problem was that Chen Rui himself didn't know anything about the undead power. The "ancient inheritance" that fooled Guradam back then was actually plagiarized from some games.
Seeing Chen Rui's contemplative expression, Guradam didn't make a sound and stood aside respectfully.
After a long time, Chen Rui said, "There is only one way I can think of to make you understand the power of death."
Guradam was overjoyed, and he quickly asked, "What method?"
"I not only have the power of the origin of destruction, but I also have the power of the origin of creation." A cluster of power breath that was completely different from the origin of destruction appeared in Chen Rui's hand, "The comprehension of the origin of creation is much more difficult for me than the origin of destruction. Especially in the initial stage, I was almost annihilated. However, I took a different path and took a key step, which was to comprehend the origin of creation with the completely opposite origin of destruction! In fact, I'm not the only one who did this. Satan, who is known as the closest to God, also tried this kind of reverse comprehension. He comprehended the origin of destruction through the origin of creation. "
Guradam had lived for thousands of years, so he naturally understood, "Master means to comprehend the power of death from the power of 'life'?"
"I can't give you more if you take the path of 'death' directly, but 'life' … I do have some means." The origin of creation and origin of destruction in Chen Rui's hands disappeared in an instant and were replaced by a cluster of black flames full of vitality. This vitality gave Guradam a strong sense of crisis. The power of Nirvana was the nemesis of the undead.
At the same time, a crystal clear white crown appeared on Chen Rui's head. The sacred breath it emitted made Guradam's soul tremble.
Divine Healing Technique, the most powerful healing technique, can treat all kinds of serious injuries. It can almost bring the dead back to life, but for the undead, it is tantamount to a deadly blade. If I use Divine Healing Technique on Guradam …
"Guradam, these 2 powers will bring life-threatening danger without exception. It can be described as a slim chance of survival. Have you thought about it clearly?"
The corpse necromancer was silent for a while, then he said, "Instead of losing my soul and becoming an unconscious wandering soul, it's better to choose a way to die while I'm conscious. Besides, although this path is slim, there is still a way to survive after all. Before that … please keep something for me, master. "
Chen Rui looked at a box handed over by the corpse necromancer and felt the soul fluctuation in it. His heart moved, "This is …"
"My phylactery."
The corpse necromancer had no flesh and blood; it was a temporary body. They generally stored their soul essence in some kind of container. As long as the soul essence did not die, they could use the body to resurrect indefinitely. This soul container was also called the phylactery.
If the phylactery was not destroyed, the corpse necromancer would never be truly annihilated unless he encountered a soul crisis like now.
Guradam asked Chen Rui to keep the phylactery, which was undoubtedly handing over his lifeline.
"Actually handing it over at this time … has nothing to do with loyalty." Guradam sighed, which was rare. "Anyway, this box may become a waste at any time."
Once Guradam couldn't understand the true meaning of the power of death, then his soul would be devoured by the wandering souls. He would completely lose himself, and the phylactery would lose its meaning.
"I understand. The 'loyalty' that you recognize is actually just because of strength. Surrender to the strong." Chen Rui smiled slightly, and the phylactery disappeared from his hand. Although the phylactery had a certain amount of soul power, it was not a real life after all, so the storage warehouse could store it. "However, I appreciate your honesty. I'll accept the phylactery. When you are ready, I will help you understand the power of death. If you really can't bear it and are annihilated by then, or lose yourself and become a wandering soul, I will personally bury you or your phylactery. "
"Thank you, master." The corpse necromancer showed respect and bowed deeply. It was not a passive behavior caused by the "emperor's prestige" on the Star Sealing Platform, but it was true respect.
