"Lord Protector-General! This subordinate is incompetent. We can only ask the army masters or the God's Blessing to take action! "
The coroner carefully examined the corpse of the Xiyi man. He opened his eyelids and looked at the whites, "This person's soul was probably scattered when he died. Even if we use a secret technique, it will be very difficult to get him to reveal anything …"
"Yes, Mister Yin, you do it!"
Protector-General Fufeng took a step back. From behind him, a black-robed, dark-skinned, skeleton-like old man walked out.
"Yellow Swamp Hades, heed my call. Return the soul …"
Although this Mister Yin looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, at this moment, he gave Zhuo Tie an extremely demonic feeling. Listening to the incantation he was chanting in a strange tone and the morgue that immediately became chilly, Zhuo Tie could not help but shiver. He immediately thought of something and his entire body began to tremble.
Because this Mister Yin that appeared in front of Zhuo Tie was a 'Lunar God Priest'!
What was a Lunar God Priest? To put it simply, it was a fellow similar to the Western Necromancers!
Of course, they had more integrity than their Western counterparts. It was said that they had been influenced by the Supreme God of Yin. Although they could use all kinds of methods to control the dead, they still maintained a certain degree of restraint. They even took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the soul. At least they weren't as useless as the West.
And the technique that Mister Yin was using wasn't some soul soothing technique. It was the legendary Soul Capture Technique!
It was said that as long as the soul hadn't reincarnated and was completely destroyed, it could be stolen no matter where it was!
Because of this special technique, the Lunar God Priest and the Necromancers were regarded as enemies by all the gods for a period of time. Because if this secret technique was developed, they could eventually become the 'Soul Stealer'! A type of evil demon that specialized in stealing souls from the Divine Kingdom and the Netherworld!
If the Lunar God Priest was considered to have turned over a new leaf and the Necromancers were hated by all the gods, then the 'Soul Stealer' was regarded as a malignant tumor by all the gods. They were existences that would be hunted down the moment they met!
Woo woo!
A cold wind blew and the faint sound of ghosts wailing could be heard.
Zhuo Tie couldn't help but shrink his neck. He held his breath as he looked at the corpses that seemed like they would come back to life in the next moment.
Not only could these Great Yin Zhu Masters capture souls, even if the target's body and soul were destroyed, they could forcefully gather the three souls and seven spirits within the body to obtain the information they wanted.
"Pu!"
However, in the next moment, Mister Yin's expression changed drastically.
A thick layer of black Qi emerged from the corpse and turned into the shape of a black snake, pouncing directly at him.
Hiss! Bang!
In a flash of black light, several of Protector-General Fufeng's bodyguards rushed forward to protect him.
"I'm fine!"
Protector-General Fufeng waved his hand. "Mister Yin?"
"Milord, not only has that man's soul been destroyed, but even his body has been tampered with by someone, such that there's no trace of his soul at all.
Mister Yin cupped his hands and said. However, his current state was definitely not good.
Not only was there a pool of blood on his chest, but his eyes had also turned into bloody holes.
"This … hurry and have the best healers come!"
Zhuo Tie's voice trembled as he watched Mister Yin turn into this after being bitten by the black snake.
"There's no need!"
Although Mister Yin had lost his eyes, he was actually quite happy at this moment. "Lord Protector-General saved this old man's life back then, and this old man was determined to return the favor by damaging his eyes. I didn't think that it would be this time. This old man is useless, so I must bid Milord farewell today!"
After saying this, he ignored everyone else and walked out of the door.
Although he was blind, he seemed to be able to see more clearly than a normal person, and his figure vanished into the darkness.
"Even Mister Yin was powerless …"
Protector-General Fufeng made no attempt to stop him, but he gave a long sigh. "It seems that this incident involves a Highness, perhaps even one that controls the realm of the dead …"
"A Highness? A True God? "
Zhuo Tie's eyes went round as he felt a headache coming on.
Anything that was related to the Gods would immediately become a hundred times more complicated.
"Where is that cultivator who completed the mission?"
Protector-General Fufeng suddenly asked.
"Oh, this lowly official remembers. This lowly official remembers that this mission was completed by a newly formed team. There were only two members. One was a resident of Hong Kong, a student of Flowery Academy, and the other was a foreign mercenary."
Zhuo Tie hurriedly answered.
"Flowery Academy?"
Protector-General Fufeng shook his head. "Even if the Palace Lord personally came, he might not be able to capture these people unscathed … That foreign mercenary, what is his name? Do you have any detailed documents?"
"This …"
Zhuo Tie immediately revealed a troubled expression.
After all, there were simply too many people in New Territories Port every day. As long as one didn't leave the port or stayed for a long time, there wouldn't be too much detailed information left behind.
"I only know that the mister's name is' Wu Ming ', and he seems to be very interested in books and records. This lowly official has already given him a New Territories jade pendant …"
"Given a jade pendant? Very good! "
Protector-General Fufeng nodded, a shrewd light appearing in his eyes.
…
At the same time, in the library of the Union.
It looked like a huge library. The walls were very thick, and the windows were very small, airtight. The lighting in the room was dim, and in such an environment, one had to light candles and oil lamps to read books in the day.
Wu Ming sat in front of a huge table. In front of him were all sorts of scrolls and books.
Some of them he had already read were placed to the side, forming a thick mountain of books.
"So … the Great Chang Empire isn't a native of this world … Or should I say, this world was originally pieced together from many elevated continents?"
Wu Ming put down the scroll and sighed. The present world was filled with all sorts of laws that left him baffled.
"Even the original coordinates of the Thel World have changed …"
The universe contained the world, and the world contained the continents.
The Thel Universe was strange enough to begin with. It only had one Thel world and one Thel continent.
As for this world, it seemed to be pieced together from many elevated continents! There was only one world, but it surpassed the previous state of the universe.
"Or should I say … Are all universes at this level after their advancement?"
Wu Ming quickly pondered.
He had a premonition that this world might exist in a higher dimension, one that was closer to eternity!
"According to the history books, the Great Chang Empire was originally a native dynasty of a lower plane. It was only due to a fortuitous encounter that the world advanced. Even the founding ancestor of the dynasty obtained enough benefits to become a true god!
"Following that was the era of geographical discovery. The western countries and the wilderness, as well as more civilized countries, were discovered one by one. It was as though they had appeared out of thin air …
"In fact, it wasn't that they 'discovered' this country, but that the entire Great Chang Empire had already integrated into the new world. It's just like the Thel continent. Although it had completed a transition, the farmers at the lowest level did not notice it at all …"
Wu Ming pondered. "That founding ancestor of the Great Chang Empire had in fact become a Celestial Thearch. And because the upper limit of this world is very high, he obtained sufficient resources and made a breakthrough …"
The highest the Celestial Thearch could reach was level seven. That was the limit of the world.
The Dao of the Zenith Heaven was to transcend the world!
But in this higher dimension world, some common sense had clearly been broken.
Of course, whether or not this world could be called a "world" was obviously uncertain in Wu Ming's heart.
"Although the eight Lords don't have a clear physical form, the common belief is that after the Great Chang Emperor broke through, he completely abandoned his personality. He fused his godhood with the Great Dao laws and became an embodiment of the Heavenly Lord …"
Wu Ming shook his head. "What's the fun in becoming a Zenith Heaven with such a lack of humanity?"
Compared to ordinary true gods, the eight Lords represented a certain Great Dao. They were products of highly condensed laws and did not need the power of faith to replenish themselves.
They appeared to be extremely carefree, but after becoming such existences, they lost even the most basic of humanity. Even though the opportunity was right in front of him, Wu Ming would not take it.
"However, their Dao of the Zenith Heaven is still worth learning from!"
Wu Ming pondered as he looked at the black ring on his finger.
The statue of the Ouroboros was vivid and lifelike. Every scale on it could be seen clearly.
"I've already checked all the religious books in the East and the West. There's no mention of the worship and totems of the Ouroboros. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility of other races …"
This world was not dominated by humans alone. Other than the two great powers of the East and the West, there were many non-human races who had created civilizations that were not inferior to humans.
In their kingdom, there were naturally gods as well.
However, from the looks of the believers of the Western Continent, there was a high possibility that the Ouroboros Clan was a token of a prince in the West.
"I've picked up yet another trouble …"
Wu Ming stood up and stretched. He casually threw the jade token of honorary citizenship on the table.
"Eh? Customer, you dropped something! "
An old administrator rubbed his eyes and reminded him loudly.
"I don't need that anymore. You can have it!"
After giving a perfunctory reply, Wu Ming once again arrived at the Union's main hall.
The bustling crowd did not decrease for even a moment. A large number of people's eyes were glued to the huge screen and the constantly refreshed content.
The Protectorate mission, which was originally the most popular, had already disappeared. At the top of the list, it was impressively an exploration mission.
"Exploration of the sea?"
A practitioner beside Wu Ming immediately cried out in disbelief, "Just drawing a clear map of the sea and the reward is so incredible?"
"I heard from the Temple that it's the intersection of the new world. Who knows, we might be able to discover a new continent!"
"With Brother Wang's cultivation of the Sea Stomping Technique, wouldn't this trivial matter be a piece of cake?"
"Haha, don't tease me, my good brother!"
…
The crowd was bustling. A large number of practitioners gathered and discussed enthusiastically.
As for Wu Ming, his eyes flashed as he looked at the marked location.
