A few months later, in the Ender Kingdom.
More than ten giant white hot air balloons floated in the blue sky, pulling banners with congratulatory messages for the King of Totems Finals.
In the center of the Kingdom, in the War God Square, the elite contestants from each country were lined up in their own teams, waiting quietly in the square.
There was a sea of people around, nobles, commoners, craftsmen, merchants, and more than half of the population in the Kingdom were gathered here. Looking around, there was a sea of black heads everywhere. Everyone was just whispering and exchanging information, but it still created a clear buzzing sound.
In the center of the square, there was a diamond-shaped railing carved in silver, encircling an area, where the totem users of the finals stood. They all had different styles, some were calm, some were sinister, and some were gentle, polite, and expressionless.
Every one of them had their most trusted subordinates behind them.
The Ender Kingdom had organized all kinds of competitions before, and had always had a good reputation. If not for this, the elites of each country would not have rashly believed that he would use such a large amount of resources as a reward for entering the finals.
In the center, there was a hollow white altar carved with countless patterns. At the feet of the golden War God statue, there were two spike-like platinum-colored platforms, with two thick books on them. Behind the books stood two priests, flipping through the books and loudly reciting the prayers for the finals.
On the side, more than ten beautiful girls were holding water bottles, gently sprinkling the water with flower petals on the heads of all the contestants.
Then, the contestant representatives went forward to greet them, and naturally, rings of different spirit lights were released from their bodies, recorded by specialized scribes, to prevent imposters.
Finally, the prosecutor went forward to check the permitted items that the contestants brought.
Only then did the deep black door of the Eternal Night Palace slowly open.
"The finals! Begin now!! "
An old voice was set up through the loudspeaker, echoing through the entire sky of the Ender Kingdom.
Boom boom boom!!
Suddenly, platinum-colored fireworks bloomed in the sky, and then, platinum-colored light spots fell slowly like raindrops.
A heavy bell rang from afar. The female priests loudly sang the eternal hymn of the Giant God statue, and their voices actually turned into solid silver transparent notes, floating in the sky.
The Holy Sons stood at the top of the three Holy Pillars in the capital and unleashed all of their power together. With three crackling sounds, three pillars of platinum light pierced into the sky, and in the clear sky of the fence, it seemed to extend into the endless universe.
Only then did the finalists enter the Eternal Night Palace under the guidance of the guide.
At this moment, the leaders of countless places in the world were paying close attention to the movements of the Ender Kingdom. Analysis reports and predictions were placed on the desks of the leaders.
The radio reported all the happenings at the scene in real time.
Among the group that entered, a figure in a black robe raised his head slightly, and the corners of his metallic gray lips curled up slightly.

On a grey cliff somewhere between the three realms
The Black Prince sat quietly on a piece of greyish-white rock on the cliff. His entire body was covered in pitch-black armor, and his face could not be seen. Only his eyes, which were glowing with a faint red light, gave off the impression of a wild beast.
There were two other people on the cliff. One of them was a tall man with long black hair that draped over his shoulders. Beside him stood a huge black horse. But no matter if it was the man or the horse, thick black smoke was constantly emitting from their bodies.
The other woman was dressed to the nines. She wore a gorgeous and exquisite red dress with a long skirt that dragged behind her. She wore a silver and black fan-shaped crown on her head. Her fair and beautiful face would occasionally reveal a devilish smile.
"The Divine God Palace Master and the King of Ender have trapped Hellgate for more than a year. Now it seems that Hellgate could not find the Divine God Palace Master, so he went straight to the Ender Kingdom's Eternal Night Palace. I wonder who will win this time. "The woman in the red dress said softly, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was asking the other two.
"The Ender Kingdom's chances of winning are less than thirty percent." The knight leading the black horse replied in a low voice.
The Black Prince raised his head and looked at the black knight. "If the situation really comes to the worst, I will not back down." His voice was hoarse and dry, like the low growl of a wild beast.
"With the core of the three territories as the foundation, countless heirlooms as the bones, and the three of us as the blood, we will not let Hellgate or the Eternal Night Palace leave!" The woman in the red dress gently lifted the hair on her shoulder, but there was not a hint of worry or anxiety on her face. "I wonder how much protection the three territories will have left after this."
The three people of the three territories all had their own ideals and will. The Obscuro Society and Hellgate would prosper if they obeyed, and die if they disobeyed. After killing Phiroth, if the Ender Kingdom fell, it would be their turn.
At the moment of life and death, the masters of the three territories finally met again.
The three of them fell into a tacit silence. No one spoke again, as if they were waiting for something.
After an unknown amount of time, three thin white light pillars suddenly lit up in the sky far away, shooting straight into the clouds.
"It has begun … That is the Eternal Night Palace's Moon Scar Light …" The woman in the red dress looked at the light beam from afar.
The black knight rode on the giant horse and shook the reins. The black smoke giant horse immediately walked slowly towards that direction. The crisp sound of hooves seemed to be unaffected by any noise, directly entering the depths of one's heart. Not long after, the giant horse stepped out of the cliff and directly stepped on the air, as if it was walking on flat ground.
The red light in the black prince's eyes suddenly lit up. He straightened his body, and his whole body gradually became transparent.
A green light flashed beside the woman in the red dress, and a handsome swordsman with a cold face appeared. He held the woman's waist with one hand, and a sword chime sounded under their feet. A green light screen flashed in the air, and carried the two of them quickly towards the light beam.

"It has begun …"
In a secluded mountain forest in the East Continent, in front of a small wooden house, stood an old man with white hair and a white beard.
He raised his head and looked at the continuous drizzle in the sky. His gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds, and saw the invisible changes after that.
Behind the old man stood two young men in the same white clothes. One of them had silver-white eyes, and was carefully tidying the wrinkles on the old man's long robe.
"It's been so long since we came out to bask in the sun. Mr. Nova, what are you going to say this time?" It was obviously not the first time the young man heard the old man speak like this.
The other person was an even younger man, and he only smiled slightly when he heard this.
"I'm not joking this time, Stone." The old man's expression was very serious.
"Haven't you said that every time?" Beckstone was speechless.
The old man turned around, and suddenly grabbed Beckstone's wrist.
"Don't worry about me, go do what you need to do. It's not worth it to spend time on a dying old man like me. "The old man's expression was unusually serious.
Beckstone and the other young man seemed to have finally realized that the old man seemed to be serious this time.
He stopped what he was doing, and met the old man's gaze.
"Mr. Nova, are you serious?"
The old man let go of his hand, and was silent for a while.
"The Moon Scar Light has appeared. The things that the two presidents and us old fellows have prepared for you, it's time to put them to good use …"
Beckstone's heart skipped a beat. The president of the Terraflor Society had died at the hands of Hellgate, and all the participating elders had also been wiped out. Only this old man in front of him was left of the Terraflor Society. He was severely injured, and had less than a few months to live.
Hellgate had indeed kept his promise to let the Terraflor Society go, but the commanders under him would not let go so easily.
Beckstone did not have a good relationship with these old men. This time, he came back to accompany the previous Thunder God, Hannet, to find a place to recuperate. He did not expect to save Mr. Nova by accident. After spending some time together, Nova had completely entrusted all his knowledge and assets to Beckstone. And because of his relationship with Teacher Beckstone, Beckstone had also truly acknowledged this wise old man.
Now that he heard that the president and elders had already predicted this outcome, and had even prepared beforehand, Beckstone's heart felt heavy.
"Take everything from the Terraflor Society, go, go to the Eternal Night Palace … Stop Hellgate." Nova said in a low voice. Unknowingly, a red gemstone that looked like a spiked ball was gently placed in Beckstone's hand.
"Hellgate's target is the Door to Heaven, we don't have to take the initiative to block him." Another young man suddenly said. "The activation of the Door to Heaven will come with a huge price. As long as we wait for the right time, it will be our chance to work together and kill Hellgate!"
"That's right, Mr. Nova, why must we stop the Door to Heaven from appearing?" Beckstone also did not agree with this timing to make a move. Their strength was too weak. If they were to fight head-on, they would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Obscuro Society.
Nova let out a long sigh.
"Hellgate did not even want to use his own strength to activate the Door to Heaven. His real goal was to use the strength of the Eternal Night Palace! Phiroth is dead, if the people who came to take Ender are also dead, then no one will be able to stop Hellgate's desire! "
Beckstone and Nova's hearts sank. Regarding the president's death and the elder's death, they were actually not affected. After all, they were too far away. But after hearing Nova talk about this situation, the two of them had a clear judgment of the overall situation.
"Since Hellgate has already agreed to let the Terraflor Society go, why should we continue to participate?" Beckstone asked his biggest question.
"Let the Terraflor Society go?" A mocking smile appeared on Nova's face. "What he wants is an obedient Terraflor Society, a secret society that is controlled by his people, and not a future threat like us, which was originally an enemy organization. Moreover, it's not that we want to find trouble with them, it's that they won't let us go … "Nova suddenly smiled mysteriously." Listen … They're coming … "
At the same time, faint footsteps could be heard from the surrounding forest. It was densely packed, and there were faint beastly roars from time to time.
The entire sky was suddenly covered by a thin layer of grey film.
Whoosh!
The sound of chains could be heard in mid-air.
God Cloud's figure slowly appeared in front of the small house. His head was bald, and his body was wrapped in countless fine black chains. His hawk-like gaze instantly focused on Old Man Nova.
"I didn't expect that there would still be remnants that haven't been completely eliminated, Nova Kottman."
