The information of this man in green shocked Ling Chen and he cried out involuntarily, "You … you're the war god!!"
The person in front of him was actually the Forgotten Continent's peak legend who had died a thousand years ago, the only ultimate expert who was crowned with the title of war god! He was also publicly recognized as the strongest person in human history. Even though a thousand years had passed, the Forgotten Continent was still widely spread about him. At the same time, he was the bearer of the battle profession that Ling Chen had! Almost all of Ling Chen's battle skills in the game world came from the war god's inheritance. From this point of view, the war god could be said to be his master in the game world.
But no matter what, he could never have imagined that he would meet this person who had clearly died a thousand years ago!
At this time, Ling Chen also suddenly understood why the voice of the man in green had a vague sense of familiarity. Although there were no emotions mixed in, the tone of the voice was exactly the same as the soul voice of the war god he heard after passing the war god's trial!
After shouting out the title of "war god", the man in green's expression was still as calm as an ancient well. His answer, made Ling Chen even more shocked.
"I am the war god, you are also the war god."
The voice was extremely calm. When he spoke, other than the slight movement of his lips, the muscles on his face almost didn't move at all.
"How did you know?" Ling Chen blurted out.
"How could I not recognize my power." This was the war god's answer.
He was the war god and Ling Chen was the one who inherited his power. Being able to recognize the war god's power that Ling Chen possessed at a glance was not a strange thing at all. However, what made Ling Chen shocked was that after quietly guarding this place for a thousand years, he was as calm as a rock when he suddenly saw an outsider intrude. This was the bottom of the underworld and the intruder was a living being, but he was also unperturbed. Moreover, he recognized that he was the inheritor of his power at a glance. His expression, eyes, and body were still as calm as a pool of stagnant water. He didn't reveal even a trace of excitement, surprise, or any other slightly strange emotions.
Could it be that this War God's body and power had been awakened by the Eternal Flame, but his heart and emotions were completely dead?
However, what the War God said next directly denied this possibility. He said indifferently, "It's just that I never thought that the power I left behind would only be inherited after a thousand years."
The voice of the War God finally showed some emotional fluctuations. It was a kind of vicissitudes and melancholy that outsiders could not understand, as well as a hint of deeply hidden nostalgia. These slight fluctuations in his emotions proved that he had not lost his heart and emotions. The only explanation for why he had been so quiet all this while was that his state of mind had already reached an unimaginably high realm. Not to mention meeting the inheritor of his power a thousand years after his death, even if the heavens and earth were to collapse, his heart would still be as calm as still water, without the slightest ripple.
Wait … He knows that I'm a War God, and he can recognize the War God's power on me. He even remembers the "inheritance". Could it be …
"You still have your memories from when you were alive?" Ling Chen blurted out.
When he had just entered the Netherworld, the undead old man had told him that when a living being turned into an undead after death, if their power was extremely great and they were interfered with by other special factors, it was possible for them to awaken their memories from when they were alive. It was equivalent to being reborn. However, such an undead would only appear once in a thousand years. Furthermore, such memories could only be awakened in the Netherworld. Once they left the Netherworld, their consciousness would be no different from that of a zombie.
From the words of the War God, Chi Xuan Wu Hen, he clearly remembered before he turned into an undead.
"That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be staying here quietly. I would have become the Nether King's slave. I have my memories from when I was alive, but I can't leave this world of undead. You won't understand this kind of pain and helplessness. If I had a choice, I would rather become an undead without any memories from when I was alive. "
The War God's words confirmed Ling Chen's judgement, and there was a trace of sorrow in his voice. Ling Chen could understand the War God's sorrow … with his memories from when he was alive, he would have things that he wanted to do, but had not been able to do. No matter how much he wanted to do, he would not be able to leave this place. He would not be able to see the people he wanted to see, and he would not be able to know if they were alive or dead. Moreover, he would not be able to do anything that he wanted to do. This was a great mental torture, and he would rather forget about it.
However, at this moment, Ling Chen's mind relaxed, and he inwardly exclaimed, "The heavens are helping me!" As expected, with Little Gray by his side, super lucky things would happen no matter where he went. Although the War God in front of him was no longer the Forgotten Continent's War God, but the Underworld's Undead War God, his power had been completely awakened, which meant that he was more powerful than when he was alive. Facing the most powerful being in the history of the Forgotten Continent, did Ling Chen have a chance of defeating him? Absolutely not! As for killing the War God, that was even more impossible.
As such, if he had to kill the War God in order to pass through the Fire Purgatory, Ling Chen knew that he would not be able to do it.
However, what made him let out a sigh of relief was that even though the War God was in front of him, he was the War God's sole inheritor, and he could even be said to be the War God's sole successor. From the War God's words, Ling Chen could tell that not only did the War God retain all of his memories, but his emotions were also not completely dormant, and he still had many things that he wanted to do to the Forgotten Continent. In that case, since he still had emotions, he shouldn't be able to kill him, his' successor ', right? Since he had something to worry about, if he could use this "worry" as an opportunity, perhaps …
As such, Ling Chen said seriously, "Senior War God, I completely understand how you feel. I was fortunate enough to inherit the power that you left behind, and I've always been grateful to you. However, I never thought that you would exist in another form in this world. Since I've received your kindness, I should do some things for you. As such, if senior War God has any unfulfilled wishes in the Forgotten Continent, please tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill them for senior War God. "
"In that case, what do you want?" The War God asked expressionlessly.
Ling Chen stared for a moment before replying, "I hope that after I fulfill senior War God's wish, senior War God will allow me to pass through the Fire Purgatory. The reason why I risked so much danger to come to the Underworld was to find the Underworld Blood Lake. Within the Underworld Blood Lake, there is something that I must obtain no matter what. As such, I hope that senior War God can fulfill my wish. "
Ling Chen spoke incredibly sincerely, and he specifically said that he would not immediately let him pass through the Fire Purgatory. Instead, he would only let him pass after he fulfilled his wish. It was impossible for him to defeat the War God, and this was his only hope.
The War God did not move, and when he spoke, his voice became low as the pressure on Ling Chen became even heavier. "Let me ask you, what is the true meaning of the War God?"
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows as he replied, "Fighting and power."
"That's right, fighting and power." The War God nodded slightly. This was the only movement that Ling Chen had seen him make so far. "The War God's power needs to be increased through endless battles. The obstacles in front of him need to be swept away with power. The things that the War God desires need to be pursued with power, not with schemes and requests. Otherwise, he is not worthy of the War God's power, nor is he worthy of being called the War God."
Ling Chen's heart trembled.
The Sword God's hand moved. As he stretched out his arm, the pitch-black greatsword was slowly pulled out of the ground. When the sword completely left the ground, formless sword qi swept through the entire Fire Purgatory like a gale, causing Ling Chen's body to go cold and his face to ache. The Twilight Spear and Chilling Star in Ling Chen's hands were like subjects that had seen their emperor. They trembled in Ling Chen's hands, and even their light dimmed.
The Twilight Spear and Chilling Star were genuine Heaven's End grade weapons! It was easy to imagine how terrifying the War God's pitch-black greatsword was.
The pitch-black greatsword was pointed at Ling Chen, and the War God's voice became emotionless again. "If you want to pass through here, the only way is to kill me. Otherwise, I'll be the one to kill you. Today, either I die, or you die. There is no other way! "
Either I die, or you die. This was the War God's answer to Ling Chen. What inheritance? What transaction? None of it moved him at all.
The War God was a fanatic who pursued extreme power. His entire life, he pursued even greater power. What he said was also the most basic principle of survival when he was alive. However, although Ling Chen had inherited the War God's power, he was not a pure War God, nor was he a madman who only pursued power. He wanted to achieve his goals. As for the methods and methods, as long as they did not touch his bottom line and dignity, they were not important.
Facing the War God's greatsword, Ling Chen frowned and continued to ask, "Senior War God, do you think that I have a chance of defeating you?"
"No." The War God's reply was simple and direct, "As such, today, only you can die."
"I am the only inheritor of your power. If I die, the War God's power will disappear from the Forgotten Continent forever. Is this what you want to see? " Ling Chen asked as he deeply breathed in … hopefully, this Undead War God did not know that players could revive after death.
"Since fate has arranged for me to personally kill the inheritor of my power, I will obey. As a War God, why should I fear death? Dying in battle is the best ending for a War God. I will use all of my power to protect this place. No matter who it is, only by killing me can they pass. Otherwise, they will be killed by me. This is my mission, as well as the War God's pride and dignity. " The pitch-black greatsword slightly tilted upwards. This slight movement caused the air to flow in this space to change, "Raise your weapon, release all of your power, and fight! No matter if you live or die, do not throw away your pride and dignity as a War God! "
The War God's reply caused all of the hope in Ling Chen's heart to be destroyed. He did not say anything else because no matter what he said, it would be useless. He slowly raised his heavy arm and crossed the Twilight Spear and Chilling Star in front of him … if he wanted to pass through the Fire Purgatory, he had to kill the War God, the most powerful legend in the Forgotten Continent's history. Apart from this, there was no other choice!
