He didn't know why, but when he saw this handwriting, he felt that it was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where at the moment.
"Ancient Endor … Black blood handwriting … It only appeared today, the Slaughtering Hand automatically activated …" He was sure that the explosion of the Slaughtering Hand just now was not controlled by him. He originally thought that it was an instinctive protective explosion of the Secret Technique, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.
He lowered his head and turned on the tap, splashing water on his face, and instantly felt much more awake.
"Could it be Black Sethe?" He felt that the tone of this line of words was very similar to that of Ancient Endor.
What destroyed Ancient Endor, was the unknown void …
"If you look at it this way, it makes sense. I practiced the Slaughtering Hand, so strictly speaking, I should be one of the inheritors of the Ancient Endor civilization, and Black Sethe might still have a trace of his soul left in this Secret Technique.
Garon recalled that after he defeated Black Sethe, the countless black gas that dissipated into the Secret Technique. It was very likely that Black Sethe's soul was mixed in with it.
If it was left behind by Black Sethe, then it was very likely.
The more Garon thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
He suddenly remembered that when he found the original copy of the Slaughtering Hand Secret Technique, the handwriting on it was exactly the same as the one just now!
"Black Sethe …" He muttered Black Sethe's name in the Ancient Endor language. He was sure that this line of words was left behind by Black Sethe, and the explosion just now was very likely because Black Sethe helped him.
He reached out his hand and touched the words on his right shoulder.
Suddenly, without any warning, the line of words became slightly blurry, and quickly transformed into brand new words.
'You guessed right, I am Black Sethe.'
Garon was shocked.
Black Sethe, one of the forty-two Demon Kings of Ancient Endor, had a supreme position in that era. He was one of the forty-two people at the peak of the entire civilization. His powerful strength was even called inhuman, and he was known as one of the forty-two Demon Kings.
"You're still alive?" Garon asked softly in the Ancient Endor language, suppressing the doubt and shock in his heart.
'This is just a remnant of my memory. The real me's soul has long decayed, and I died thousands of years ago. 'The black blood characters blurred and changed again. 'I need your power to support my normal conversation with you. Otherwise, I won't be able to last long …'
"No problem."
Garon did not hesitate. This was his first time coming into contact with an important figure of the Ancient Endor civilization. He had too many doubts and mysteries in his heart that he needed the other party to unravel.
Without hesitation, he gathered a trace of life force from his arms and moved it along his arms, quickly gathering at his right shoulder.
'Alright, that's enough.' Black Sethe's words appeared again. 'If you have any questions, just ask.'
"What do you mean by what you said just now?" Garon asked in Ancient Endor. "The destruction of Ancient Endor came from an unknown void? What does that mean? "
'Aren't you being targeted?'
"What is it? You mean the Blood Breed Death Apostles? "Garon asked.
'Death Apostle? What was that? No, no, no … The ones targeting you are the Void Creatures, not some Death Apostle. 'Black Sethe quickly answered, and the words changed again. 'The Void Creatures and the Warlocks had a great war in the past, fighting for the sovereignty of several worlds. In the end, they perished together. Both sides suffered unprecedented losses, and they are our archenemies.'
"Void Creatures?" Garon heard this term for the first time. "Are they creatures from the Underworld?"
'No, the Underworld is the Underworld. That is the theoretical world that we have been pursuing for our entire lives. Perhaps there is no such thing as the Underworld in this world. Our inherited culture believes that there is an eternal place in the universe, the source of the Mother Stream that never runs out of energy. That is the place we call the Underworld. That is the end of death, the purest source of life. We yearn for that place, but only those who take things too hard will want to enter the Underworld while they are still alive.'
It was Garon's first time hearing this explanation. He had always thought that the Underworld referred to the Underworld in the legends.
"Then what are the Void Creatures referring to? What was the great war that you mentioned earlier? Can you tell me more about it? "
'These were two unprecedentedly powerful wars.' Black Sethe paused. 'The Warlocks controlled everything, and treated any creatures that were not of the same race as their slaves, regardless of whether they were intelligent or not. They were supreme, their power was boundless, and their lives were long and vast. In their exploration of the essence of life, they went further and further, and finally broke through the barriers between the worlds, and invaded one new world after another. That period of history was indeed one of our greatest glories. But … '
"But what?"
'The Warlocks encountered another group of pioneers like them when they were exploring a new world, and that was the Void Creatures.' Black Sethe used a lonely tone to describe. 'The Void Creatures were tyrannical and greedy. They had an endless desire to possess. Once both sides came into contact, they attacked each other without any prior agreement. This war lasted for tens of thousands of years. Until both sides suffered heavy losses, and even their inherited heritage was destroyed. That was the first war. '
'Then, a few thousand years later, we Ancient Endor slowly regained some of the glory of the Warlocks. This time, because we had the reverence and belief towards the Mother Stream and the Underworld, we were careful and cautious. And this time, the Void Creatures took the initiative to come to us. '
"Did you win or lose?" Garon asked.
'In order to destroy the world of the Void Creatures, we incited the wrath of the Mother Stream. In the end, no one expected that the wrath of the Mother Stream was too terrifying. The Void Creatures were completely destroyed, and we were swallowed by the enormous power. The entire civilization became history overnight. We merged into the Mother Stream and became a part of it. '
Black Sethe seemed to be a little tired.
'The Void Creatures saw us as their enemy, and they swore to hunt us down generation after generation until eternity. They used the name of the Mother Stream and swore an ancient oath. Any creature that inherited the Warlock civilization would become their torch in the darkness. They would follow closely behind you in the Dream World, and continuously attack you until you die. '
"What kind of existence are they?" Garon frowned. "In this world, the Blood Breed Death Apostle's attack style should be very similar to them."
'Blood Breed Death Apostle? I haven't seen it before. If you can find an example, maybe I can give you some suggestions. But I don't think they are Void Creatures. 'Black Sethe replied.
"Why?" Garon asked back.
'Because they are greedy and strong, but they don't exist in the normal world. They are creatures that exist in the gap between illusion and reality. The weak ones are at most similar to the average Secret Technique user, and the strong ones can even destroy the entire world. Can you describe what kind of life form the Blood Breed Death Apostle is? '
Garon told him everything he knew about the Blood Breed Death Apostle in the Ancient Endor language.
Black Sethe pondered for a while.
'It's somewhat similar, but not the same type. The Death Apostle's abilities are fundamentally different. They are two different systems.'
"What do you mean? They should be attacking creatures in the Dream World, right? "Garon frowned.
'No, it's not the same.' Black Sethe explained, 'The Death Apostle manipulates a creature's own Dream World, burrows into it, and controls the other party's thoughts. The Void Creatures, on the other hand, create illusions. It's not just a Dream World, they can forcefully drag creatures into the illusions they create. It could even be a product of mixing illusion and reality. '
'The main ability of the Void Creatures is to make you unable to distinguish whether it's real or fake, whether it's living in an illusion or reality. The two of them are different systems. '
With this explanation, Garon understood.
"Then, how can I determine if our conversation is real or an illusion?" He suddenly asked. "Yes, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.
'The Void Creatures' illusions have one biggest characteristic, and that is their fear of Life Force. You can try to circulate the Life Force in your arm throughout your entire body. This way, you can resist their attacks to a certain extent. '
Black Sethe did not stop and continued.
'Their methods are indeed similar to the Death Apostles in this world, but they're not the same. It's just that the effects are somewhat similar. I suspect that they must have noticed you when you entered the Mother Stream, and that's why they targeted you and followed you here. '
"Why do you say that?"
'Because they haven't completely entered this world yet. They've only sensed your Life Force and are still slowly invading this world. That's why their powers seem so weak. '
"This is weak …" Garon was speechless. "If what you said is true, then this thing was brought into this world by me, right?"
'That's indeed the case. They're now using you as a coordinate, and are constantly locating this world through the invasion of the Dream World. This connection is implicated through the Ancient Oath. You can also sense their location in reverse. '
"Then you should have targeted measures against the Void Creatures, right? And the complete inheritance of the Warlocks. "
'You want it?'
"Of course."
'Then you need to promise me a condition, or rather a promise. An Ancient Oath to the Mother Stream. Any Ancient Oath must be completed wholeheartedly, or else you'll be cursed by the Mother Stream forever. Answer me after you've thought it through. 'Black Sethe's words instantly faded.
"Ancient Oath …"
Wiping the water off his face, Garon walked out of the bathroom.
The Life Force in his arms slowly released and flowed through his entire body. He suddenly felt as if he was much more awake, and the sensory world around him seemed to be much clearer.
The information he received tonight was a little too much, and he needed some time to digest it. Black Sethe's remnant soul, or rather his memories, had actually recovered. The existence of the Void Creatures was actually not some Death Apostle, but an enemy that he brought into this world. All of this required him to verify and think about it himself.
Although the possibility of it being fake was very small, after all, even if the Death Apostles could control the Dream World, these things were not something he could know. Moreover, they could not learn the Ancient Endor language in an instant. Before this, Garon had never used this language in front of outsiders.
