Everyone was shocked.
The others did not understand what Ma Wen was saying. After all, only a few people knew the secret of the Lich's apotheosis.
However, his words were clearly filled with suspicion and aggression.
Would this powerful-looking guy go berserk?
Everyone gripped their weapons and prepared for battle. They did not blame Ma Wen. After all, they were here to fight.
…
However, the man's eyes were still gentle.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Ma Wen and said, "Looks like you've heard a lot of stories."
"But no matter what they say, I don't think I did anything wrong."
"I can't just watch him become a subordinate god of the God of Massacre. That would make the world even more chaotic."
"So I stopped him."
"But he's still my favorite brother."
"So I have to protect him."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
He looked at Ma Wen quietly. "Do you have a brother?"
To his surprise, Marvin actually nodded. "There's one. He's nine this year. "
The man nodded. "Then you should understand what I'm doing."
"I don't want to know what you people want to do. Maybe you want to get rid of those evil creatures? Then you've achieved your goal. You can leave now. "
"If you want to take another step forward, that's impossible."
"I owe him once, so I'll make it up to him for the rest of my life."
Everyone fell silent.
Although the guy in front of them spoke calmly and had a calm expression, his words were filled with stubbornness.
He was a complete madman!
"The one who stopped the Lich from apotheosis was his brother?"
"The Astral Sword Saint and the Demigod Lich are actually brothers."
The knights were all shocked and began to discuss among themselves.
Even Madeline and Collins revealed looks of surprise.
It was obvious that Marvin was the only one who knew about all of this.
…
This was the story of a pair of brothers who turned against each other.
In the third era, the Astral Sword Saint was already quite famous. His younger brother was a wizard who lived in his brother's shadow.
Later, due to some unknown conflicts, the two sides had a serious disagreement, and the younger brother went south, leaving the north where he had lived for generations.
His personality became evil. Under the guidance of a force, he transformed himself into a Lich and established a force in the north of River Beach City.
Of course, at that time, River Beach City had not yet been established.
The Scarlet Monastery was the core of these forces. It was an innocent monastery that the Lich had converted.
At that time, the Universe Devil Pool hadn't been built yet. The second Fate Slate had been split into many pieces and obtained by many people. Many Legends chose to become gods.
By chance, the Lich had also obtained a small Fate Tablet. However, the Divine Domain on this Fate Tablet was a subsidiary domain of the God of Massacre. Once they succeeded in apotheosizing, they would receive the protection of the God of Massacre and become a weak god.
At that time, weak gods could still travel between the heavens and the human world. Therefore, many powerful Gods were very keen on expanding their Pantheon.
This way, it would be easier for them to establish their influence in Fernand.
Just like that, the Lich and the others embarked on the path to godhood. He had made all the preparations. With the help of the Fate Slate, he had condensed his Quintessence and obtained divinity and divine power.
The only thing he lacked was to integrate into the God of Massacre's Divine System and obtain an official Divine Title.
The Slaughter God had given him a mission. As long as he completed the mission and proved himself, he would become his representative in the human world.
The mission was to slaughter a city. At that time, every city would be guarded by at least one powerful Legend or someone on the verge of apotheosizing. Massacring a city would not be an easy task.
Eager to prove himself, the Lich began to make his move.
However, the Astral Sword Saint had arrived while he was still preparing for the massacre.
He understood his brother's intentions — he just wanted to prove that he was not worse than his brother.
He wanted to prove this point by becoming a god.
However, the Astral Sword Saint did not agree with him. He loved life and peace, and killing was what he hated the most.
Thus, he gave the two Fate Tablets he had obtained to his younger brother.
"You want to become a god? Sure. "
"Please find another Divine Title."
That was what he said at the time.
Unfortunately, his younger brother did not appreciate it and threw the two Fate Tablets into the Astral Plane.
If Ma Wen remembered correctly, one of the Fate Tablets recorded the Divine Title of Luck!
Thus, when he saw Kate's Spirit of Luck, he recalled this historical event.
If the Lich had not thrown the Fate Tablet fragment away, the Spirit of Luck would not have been born.
Everything was so coincidental.
In the end, the two sides fought.
The younger brother, who had become a god, was still no match for his elder brother, who had been famous for many years.
In Feynan's eyes, God was just another form of life. Perhaps they were generally more powerful, but humans were the race with the most potential!
There was no upper limit to human power. Becoming a Legend was not the end.
Legend had it that many old Legends of the Third Era did not choose the path of becoming a god. Instead, they chose another path of continuous cultivation and strengthening themselves. They might not be active in Fernand anymore, but they still existed. Their strength was not any weaker than those gods.
Someone like Inheim was not considered one. Among the Legends that Ma Wen had met so far, only Elven King Nicholas could be counted as one.
He was a man who could face a powerful god.
Thus, it was not surprising that the Astral Sword Saint defeated his brother.
In the end, he stabbed his Legendary sword, Starry Sky, into the Lich's chest.
Gods did not die. They would only sleep.
Before he closed his eyes, the Lich saw his future. He said:
"You can't kill me, brother."
"When the real Cataclysm comes, you and I will meet again."
The man just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Thus, he waited in this cold hall for more than a thousand years.
During these years, with the establishment of the Universal Magic Pool, the order of the entire Fernand became stable.
No one cared that there was a man powerful enough to kill a God sitting quietly in a monastery.
Only in some remote taverns on the continent, when bards sang about the glory of the Third Age, would the man who shattered the Starry Sky be mentioned.
Most people would only make a fuss.
Everything was just an exaggerated rumor. How could anyone really shatter the Starry Sky?
…
"Anyway, since we're here, we have to try."
Madeline stepped forward.
The Astral Sword Saint nodded. The next second, countless blue and green light spots floated from the surface of his body.
The light spots eventually condensed into dazzling swords.
A total of twelve swords floated quietly around him, spinning slowly.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene.
Even Ma Wen was shocked by the twelve swords, even though it was not his first time witnessing the Astral Sword Saint's power.
What he saw in the game was different from what he saw in real life!
The man had indeed displayed his swordsmanship to the extreme. Those light spots were the legendary items that he had built with the abandoned Star Hearts he had collected.
In other words, each of the swords was a Legendary weapon!
In his past life, the Astral Sword Saint had been ridiculed countless times by the players.
"This isn't a world of swords and magic. It's a world of flying swords …"
…
"Three chances," he said simply.
He simply said, "I will sit right here. If you can break through my defenses, I can let you go to the underground floor and take away an item."
His swords were not used to kill, but to protect.
Ma Wen shook his head.
It was impossible to break through.
Madeline refused to give up. She joined forces with Collins. Immediately, a large amount of arcane energy and divine power filled the hall!
…
The battle between a Legendary and a Legendary was doomed from the start.
Twenty minutes later. Madeline's face was ashen. She had used up almost all her spells, but she could not hurt the Astral Sword Saint at all!
White-robed Collins chuckled bitterly.
Unless he used God's Arrival, he would not be able to fight this guy.
The knights of River Beach did not know what to say.
The Vampires and the others felt the same way.
Wasn't Madeline strong?
Wasn't Collins strong?
They were both very strong!
Below the Legendary rank, the two of them were at the top.
However, the man in front of them just sat there. No matter how many spells or divine spells they used, they could not break through the barrier formed by his sword!
"Let's go."
His eyes were still as gentle as jade.
"None of you are a match for me."
His tone was calm, but his words were arrogant. However, no one dared to deny him!
That was the truth.
Madeline bit her lips tightly.
She knew there was an old monster guarding the Fourth Hall.
However, she would not give up until she saw it with her own eyes.
After all, it was a Legendary rank … The Book of Naru was right in front of her.
As long as she could get through this, she would be able to live an almost eternal life!
A Legendary rank could live for at least a thousand years. It was rare to hear of a Legendary rank dying of old age.
This was a reward given by the laws of the plane to those who worked hard to improve their cultivation.
…
Was there really no way to get through this?
A dejected atmosphere spread among the people of River Beach.
Madeline released a sigh, silently turning around.
She was about to give the order to retreat.
However, at this moment, a somewhat thin and small person walked past her.
"You're giving up?"
He said, "Let me try."
Madeline looked at Ma Wen in surprise.
The latter walked quickly to the Sword Sage of Stars and looked at him seriously. "Master Star, I know you're a Legendary rank. I've heard many rumors about you.
Most of them are about your swordsmanship. "
The Sword Sage of Stars smiled. "Young man, what are you trying to say?"
Marvin drew his sabers and twirled them in a relaxed manner.
"Nothing."
"I want to compete with you in pure skills."
"I wonder if you dare to accept my challenge?"
