The Dark Forest, the place of extreme fire where the Emperor of Flames had once stayed, Mountain Tanai.
After so many years, the rocks in this valley that had been the site of a volcanic eruption were forever the same reddish-brown. In the center of the valley, one couldn't feel the shade of the Dark Forest, nor could one see any lush and verdant plants. There was only dry and barren red earth and an abnormally high temperature.
The traces of the great battle from a few years ago were still there. The broken rock walls and torn ravines seemed to indicate that something had happened here.
Today, Mountain Tanai was no longer peaceful. Rumbling sounds came from the depths of the earth, as if some ancient beast was about to break out of the earth. The ravines grew larger and larger as if they were being torn apart by invisible hands. The fire elemental energy in the place of extreme fire below seemed to be ignited as the temperature of Mountain Tanai gradually soared.
A blurry silhouette swept through the valley at high speed. Rays of dazzling light shot out from his body, shattering the rocks that were as hard as iron and stone and leaving marks on the ground.
The silhouette was like an artist drawing a blueprint. As he swept through the valley at high speed, the valley had unknowingly undergone astonishing changes. If someone were to look down from midair, they would discover that the ravines and rocks of Mountain Tanai had shockingly formed a giant picture with a profound meaning – the picture of a soaring dragon!
Amidst the lightning, some unknown substances became the materials to fill up the giant picture and fell into the picture of a soaring dragon in the center of the valley.
The rumbling of the earth continued. After a series of steps, the blurry silhouette shuttling through the valley finally stepped heavily on a boulder in the center of the valley.
"Rumble …" A rumbling sound like the eruption of a mountain torrent resounded throughout the valley.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a white dragon skeleton slowly emerged from the ravine that had been torn apart in the valley. The dragon's head, body, and tail were all reflected in the Soaring Dragon Diagram that had existed for a long time. As the giant dragon's skeleton floated up, an even louder rumbling sound came from the depths of the earth. The place of extreme fire that could nurture treasures of the fire attribute and had existed for an unknown number of years suddenly boiled. Scalding lava overflowed and soaked the giant dragon's skeleton in it.
All of a sudden, the figure standing proudly in the air above the valley dropped all kinds of materials into the lava. Among them were colorful bright stones, thick liquid with a pungent smell, and rays of light that contained strange energy.
The bubbling magma in the place of extreme fire was extremely hot. It melted the various materials and the giant dragon together. The giant dragon skeleton in the middle of the valley actually shone with a dazzling luster, as if the bones of different thicknesses were as hard as diamonds.
Buckets of fresh blood poured down from the hands of the figure standing proudly in midair. As soon as the pungent blood landed on the dragon skeleton, it immediately sizzled and gave off thick smoke.
A bizarre change suddenly occurred at this moment. As the buckets of fresh blood poured down, Tanai's dragon skeleton underwent an incredible change. Blood lines that seemed to be alive entrenched on the dragon skeleton, wriggling as if the blood vessels were reconnected.
After an unknown number of buckets of fresh blood poured down, the figure suddenly flew above the dragon's head and forcibly punched a misty ball of strange air into the dragon's brain.
In an instant, the originally lifeless skeleton's body that was as hard as a diamond was suddenly wrapped in a blood-red light. Then, it began to move bit by bit!
After a while, the gradually moving dragon skeleton stopped wriggling. The wriggling blood lines also stopped growing. A huge blood cocoon completely wrapped the dragon skeleton, as if waiting for nirvana rebirth.
Only at this moment did the busy figure let out a long sigh of relief. Threads of blood shot out from his fingers and landed on the blood cocoon.
As soon as the blood fell, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea, without a single ripple. As for the dragon skeleton wrapped in the blood cocoon, the aura of life became stronger and stronger. Then, it sank into the depths of the earth bit by bit and quietly lay dormant.
…
After all the steps were completed, Han Shuo did not relax. He calmly watched the transformation of Tanai Gilbert's body. His consciousness secretly moved, trying to communicate with Gilbert's soul through the connection between the two.
"Gilbert, have you woken up?" Han Shuo transmitted. His consciousness firmly locked onto the soul in the middle of the skeleton.
"…" After a long time, a weak response came from the soul. It was a little tentative and a little surprised, "Master, is that you?"
Han Shuo grinned. As soon as he sensed the response from Gilbert's soul, he could not help but heave a genuine sigh of relief. As long as there was a response from the soul, it meant that everything was under Han Shuo's control. It proved that Gilbert's soul had established a connection with that incomplete body. Once this was confirmed, the following matters would be much easier.
"It's me! Fortunately, fortunately, my efforts were not in vain. It seems that there are no problems on the whole. "Han Shuo's heart was gratified. However, his consciousness did not relax at all.
"Wahaha … I'm alive … I'm alive again … That's great!" The message was still weak, but Gilbert's excitement was transmitted very clearly. "Master, what should I do next?"
"Make the most of your time. During this period of time, you need to quickly familiarize yourself with your soul and your new body's senses, senses, and tacit understanding. Before the blood cocoon is torn, you need to understand the power contained in each of your bones according to the memories I left for you. Most importantly, you have to use all your wisdom to try to dissipate the divine power of the divine crystal of darkness left in your bones. If you can do this, your body will contain the divine power of darkness. Although it is only a little, as long as you carefully comprehend it, you will understand the existence of that divine power and how to obtain it. This will lay a solid foundation for you to become the God of Darkness! "Han Shuo commanded calmly.
"Master, I understand. For the sake of becoming stronger, I, Gilbert, will definitely make good use of this opportunity!"
"Very good. I've forcefully inserted that small piece of the divine crystal of darkness into your body. This is an ingenious method that I've come up with after studying it for a long time. I hope you won't let me down. As long as you can grasp this opportunity and comprehend the existence of divine power and how to use it, you will not be far from becoming a god! "Han Shuo encouraged.
"I'll try it immediately." Gilbert clearly understood that this was an extremely rare opportunity. After Han Shuo finished speaking, Gilbert took the initiative to cut off any further communication with Han Shuo. As his body slowly sank into the depths of the earth, he focused all his energy on his new body.
Seeing Gilbert working so hard, Han Shuo was very gratified. He also understood that Gilbert truly understood the importance of strength. In the past, in order to save his grandfather and the Dark Dragon Race, Gilbert and Han Shuo had rushed all the way to this place. They thirsted for the power of fire in the place of extreme fire. However, Gilbert's strength back then wasn't enough. He could only burn his life force as the price to forcibly raise his speed to the limit that his body couldn't bear. In the end, he died in the valley of fire.
In these few years, Gilbert, who only had his soul left, had truly tasted the pain of loneliness and helplessness. Within the Soul Ring that was eternally without light, he had continuously tempered his soul using the method taught by Han Shuo. With tenacious willpower, he had cultivated his soul to the point where it could possess a body.
It was precisely because of this that he understood what strength meant to him. He abandoned his impetuous and superficial temperament and began to pursue the path of strength with indomitable will!
This was the most crucial moment for Gilbert. Han Shuo didn't dare to leave Gilbert's side. His main body found a boulder in the distance and sat cross-legged on it with a cold and detached expression. While regulating his breathing and recovering the demonic yuan he had consumed, he silently guarded Gilbert.
…
On the other side, Han Shuo's avatar of destruction had used the transportation matrix in Brettel City to descend into Lancelot Empire's Ossen City.
In the past five years, the scenery of Ossen City hadn't changed much. The only thing that had changed was the people coming and going. Whether it was the poor or the soldiers, they seemed to have lost much of their former relaxed and contented manner. Their faces were heavy and solemn.
Lancelot Empire's situation wasn't good. The ferocious Orc Empire was recklessly attacking the southern border while Kasi Empire, supported by the Shrine of Ice, was constantly pressuring the empire in the west. There had been many big and small battles in the past few years. All the citizens of Lancelot Empire had come to realize the cruelty of war. In addition, Lancelot Empire hadn't been on the winning side for the past few years. Naturally, the citizens were even more terrified.
In the past five years, Han Shuo's three women had become the most eye-catching women in Lancelot Empire due to their extraordinary backgrounds and the fact that they stood on the right side in the palace war.
Emily, the leader of the Dark Mantle's upper echelon, controlled the dark forces of Lancelot Empire and was the youngest dark sacred magus in Lancelot Empire.
Phoebe, similarly, was the youngest sacred swordmaster and the owner of the Boozt Merchant Guild in Lancelot Empire. She held the most wealth in the empire.
Fanny, the director of the necromancy major of Babylon Academy, was also a necromancy grand magus and had a terrifying father behind her.
The three women had always been dazzling on the stage of Lancelot Empire. In the past five years, because Han Shuo hadn't appeared for a long time, countless young and talented men had pursued them. Those people clearly knew that they were Han Shuo's women, but they didn't mind at all. They used Han Shuo's death as an excuse to pester the three women with all kinds of power.
All of this was because of the three women's current strength and status, as well as their unusually friendly relationship with Lancelot Empire's King Lawrence!
Sigh, it's a problem with my girlfriend's work. I can't help it, but I have to take care of it. There's no helping it. In life, there are always some things that don't go your way.
Also, since I've talked it over with my brothers, I should inform them in advance that the Qidian authors' gathering will be held on the eleventh to the fourteenth of this month. The location is in Guilin. I'll probably be quite busy these few days and will probably only be able to update at night. Little Ni might not be able to release two chapters a day as usual again. I'm very ashamed, so I'm informing you in advance.
However, Little Ni will definitely make up for it after she's done with her work. This has always been my attitude. I'll remember the chapters that I owe and will slowly make up for it in the second half of the month.
Including today, I already owe two chapters this month. I'll remember every chapter that I owe in the future and make up for it afterwards!
I'll apologize again. I don't have the face to ask for monthly votes for the time being. Please forgive me, Little Ni rarely asks for leave so frequently. It's indeed because things happen to gather together. I'm very helpless and embarrassed. Everyone, please forgive me.
