Dawnstar Palace.
Fangzheng had heard from Shana and the other Mist Warriors that it was the headquarters of the "Masquerade Party". Some Followers of the Red World had also told him that Dawnstar Palace was a floating fortress that could move and turn at any time in the air. Because of some special protection, it would hardly appear in front of anyone.
But then again, when Fangzheng walked into Dawnstar Palace, he found that this place was not the lair of a dark organization like he had imagined. Instead, it was more like a beautiful piece of art …. Well, it was like the Western fantasy world section in the main theme park.
But unlike the amusement park, the biggest problem here was ….
"It's so quiet."
Standing in the hall paved with black floors, Fangzheng looked at the girl in front of him and sighed helplessly.
"There are only the two of you here now?"
That's right, according to the girl, there was only her and a middle-aged man in a suit following behind her respectfully in the entire Dawnstar Palace.
"Yes, Leader."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the middle-aged man took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead and answered with a trembling voice.
"Lord 'Thousand Transformations' is still outside, and Lord Belepeol has her own mission. So right now, there's only me and the Grand Shaman in Dawnstar Palace …."
"I can see it from your face. If you keep staying up like this, you'll die of overwork, Uncle."
Fangzheng looked at the Follower of the Red World, known as' Rakshasa 'Ferkoru, sympathetically. It was strange. Every Follower of the Red World had learned human transformation techniques, but there was a huge difference in their looks. The girl in front of him and Tiria were both beauties. But this Follower of the Red World looked like he had worked overtime in the office for seven days and seven nights without going home. In the end, he found that there was a bug in the program that needed to be fixed. Uncle, your looks are really bad.
"Thank, thank you for your concern, Leader."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Fei Kelu revealed a wry smile, and then he wiped the sweat off his face once again.
"Let me make this clear, I'm not a leader."
However, Fangzheng obviously wouldn't follow his instructions. He waved his hand and continued to walk forward.
"You asked me to be the Alliance Leader? Actually, I refused. Because if you don't want me to be, then I will be. First of all, I need to know what kind of organization this is, because I don't want to join only to find out that I have boarded a pirate ship, so that everyone will come to find trouble with me. So I have to try it out first before making a decision. "
"But you're indeed our leader …"
Hearing Fangzheng's reply, Fei Kelu was about to cry. He didn't know why either. Logically speaking, the Alliance Master should be very familiar with them, but what was up with this human? To be honest, Fei Kelu was also very suspicious of this, but the girl in front of him insisted that the other party was her Alliance Master, so what could he do?
He was also in despair!
The white-robed girl didn't say anything, and neither did Fangzheng. He simply led Tiria and Nanoka forward. Not long after, the white-robed girl stopped in front of the stairs. She turned around respectfully and looked at Fangzheng without saying a word. Although the girl didn't finish her sentence, the others understood what she meant. Only Fangzheng could continue to move forward.
In other words, no one else had the right to do so.
Tiria showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but this time, she didn't stick to Fangzheng's side. She just looked at the white-robed girl meaningfully, then stood to the side. Nanoka and Sanya didn't dare to say anything. This was the lair of the Red World Apostles, and she was a Mist Warrior. The current situation was like a protagonist running into a villain's base alone. Nanoka didn't think that she was as capable as 007, so she just stood to the side and pretended to be obedient.
Fangzheng glanced at the white-robed girl and continued to move forward.
As soon as he stepped on the stairs, another set of stairs appeared in the empty space ahead of him. As Fangzheng continued to move forward, the stairs gradually extended upward. When Fangzheng reached the end of the stairs, a chair appeared before him.
This was far inferior to the Frozen Throne.
Fangzheng was speechless as he gazed at the pitch-black, unprepossessing chair. Is this Masquerade Ball organization that desperate for money? Not only do their employees look like they're about to die from overwork, but even the chair they prepared for their boss is so simple. It seems like this organization understands the meaning of hard work and plain living.
At this thought, Fangzheng lamented. Then, he turned around and sat down on the chair.
"…"
"…"
"Uhh … Should I tremble and release the aura of a bastard or something?"
Looking at the white-robed girl and the unlucky uncle below, Fangzheng suddenly felt that his current performance was rather disappointing to their expectations.
"This, this …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Fei Kelu broke out in cold sweat, not knowing what to say. Looking at him, Fangzheng shook his head.
"Alright, I'm done playing. After all, Uncle, you're already so old and can't take any stimulation. "
Although, to be honest, Fangzheng didn't really care about these things, Fekelu's image was too awkward. Every time he saw Fekelu, Fangzheng would think of the poor and cute programmers in his company's programming team. Every time they worked overtime and sat in front of the computer to eliminate bugs, they looked like this.
What made Fangzheng miss the most was that every time this happened, he would go up and give them a cup of steaming hot coffee, then look at them with a smile and say — — "I want to change my request …"
They're all good people, so don't make things difficult for them.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng casually opened the Codex, picked up the black Soul Stone, and put it in.
"Click."
The next moment, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed.
It's here!
Feeling the scene in front of him begin to shake, Fangzheng closed his eyes. This was the reaction he should have when activating the Soul Stone for the first time. Every time he activated the Soul Stone, Fangzheng would go through the identity and experience of the soul in the Soul Stone like watching the opening animation. But this did not happen when he first got the Soul Stone, but Fangzheng knew that it was because the Soul Stone was sealed. And now … he finally activated the Soul Stone.
As for Fangzheng, he finally knew the true identity of the Soul Stone.
One of the three great demons of the Red World – the God of Creation, the Snake of Sacrifice.
Through these memories, Fangzheng finally understood what kind of place the world called the "Red World" was.
It was a chaotic alien world. Not only were the laws of physics completely different from those on Earth, there were also no so-called "five senses". It was a dimension that could be interfered and influenced through consciousness. Based on this, it was a world where the "existence of the mixture of power itself" continued to extend. At the same time, it was a world with an extremely harsh living environment. It was very difficult to maintain one's own existence. Because of this, the inhabitants of that world had given up everything in order to survive, so there was no "material" in that world, let alone a "culture" that relied on "material" to exist.
To describe it in terms that Earthlings could understand, the Red World was more like an illusory world like the Netherworld or the Spirit World. It was a world without physical characteristics in a strict sense. The disciples of the Red World were "spirits" who only had self-awareness but no physical body.
In this way, the whole process of the disciples of the Red World coming to this world became clear.
First of all, in the "Red World", as "spirits", they needed to cast a spell to create a bridge connecting the Red World and Earth. Then they would pass through that channel and come to this world.
After coming to this world, the "disciples of the Red World" with only their spiritual bodies first needed to attach themselves to something. It could be a living thing, an inanimate object, or even a piece of clothing. In this way, they could have a fixed form in this world.
But this was just the beginning. A fixed form was the key to staying in this world. But this was not enough. They needed to devour more power of existence. Only when their power increased could these disciples of the Red World use the Humanization Spell and turn from "things that had become spirits" into humans.
This was the case for Faliagni, Tiria, and even Rami. Even taking a step back, the contractors of the Mist Warriors such as Alastor and Sanya were the same. Just like the necklace that Alastor resided in, the bracelet that Sanya resided in, and Marjolin's book, these were the first "material carriers" that the disciples of the Red World needed after coming to this world.
From this point of view, there was no difference between them and the disciples of the Red World. And it was after this that there would be differences. The disciples of the Red World would devour enough power to transform themselves into a human form that could move at will.
The kings of the Red World would sign contracts with humans and use their bodies as "carriers" to inject the power of existence into themselves so that they could exist in this world and become the Mist Warriors.
In this way, the behavior of the disciples of the Red World in this world could be understood.
Their original world was a world where even food and power were scarce. In order to survive, these disciples of the Red World had even erased the existence of "matter". It was like a person who could only survive by eating grass roots every day, and then suddenly came to a world full of rich food without danger or natural enemies. There was delicious food everywhere, and beautiful things that they had never seen before. For the disciples of the Red World, this was like heaven!
In addition, when the disciples of the Red World came to Earth, there were only a few city-state civilizations on Earth that could be examined. It was like astronauts who were forced to leave Earth in the 23rd century because of a lack of resources and found a new continent full of fertile land and mineral resources — and there were only natives waving spears and shouting!
Even the Avatars could only deal with private development companies. If a group of Celestials came, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
Not to mention, the people on Earth three thousand years ago were probably much more backward than the Avatars.
When the disciples of the Red World, who had combat power comparable to that of Celestials, came to such a place, there was no need to ask what would happen next.
They were attracted by this new world full of beautiful things and rich resources, but unfortunately, the levels of the two worlds were different. So even if the disciples of the Red World wanted to move, they had to face a problem — they needed enough power of existence to survive in this world.
Therefore, under the prayers of the disciples of the Red World, the God of Creation appeared. He created the "Great Binding Lock" in an attempt to fulfill the wishes of his compatriots.
From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with the Snake of Sacrifice. He was the Devil of the Red World, a god who was responsible for affirming desire and creation. Was it wrong for him to be loyal to his duty? As a God, he came all the way to Earth because of the call of his people, and even worked hard to fulfill their wishes until the last moment …. No wonder the followers of the Red World respected the God of Creation so much. In today's materialistic society, it was rare to see a leader who was willing to take the lead and fight on the frontline like him.
Fangzheng felt that if he was a disciple of the Red World, he would definitely be moved by such a responsible leader.
In contrast, the so-called God of Divine Punishment and the God of Guidance were not as interesting ….
Not only that, Fangzheng also learned a secret from the soul stone.
"I see …."
He slowly opened his eyes and looked in front of him. In the hall, the white-robed girl was kneeling respectfully in front of him. Fei Kelu was also half-kneeling behind him, trembling with fear. As for Tiria and Nanoka, they were still standing at the side, but no one cared about them. After all, there were only a few people here.
But for Fangzheng, he did not care about that. What was important was the secret he learned from the soul stone of the Snake of Sacrifice.
