While the Queen Of Thorns was facing off against the bandits of Riddle world.
On another side.
The Wilderness of Death world.
The entire world was covered in endless wilderness. There were no living beings in the wilderness, other than the ancient spell formation of Death, there was only a single black structure.
A towering black divine temple stood at the center of this world.
— — the Holy Church of Death.
At the center of the divine temple was the Holy Church of Death.
The Holy Church of Death was a place that only the servants of the God of Death could enter.
Even the Pope wasn't qualified to enter this place.
The door was tightly shut.
Inside the Holy Church, the Black Crow of Death had already brought Anna and Lin in, while the Death Herald Dog had also returned.
Black Dog carefully examined the statue of the God of Death that Black Crow gave him, then sighed and said: "It's the real deal, this statue is indeed the proof to open the underground passage"
"If that's the case, that person should be a friend, not an enemy" Black Crow commented.
The two servant gods turned to look at Lin.
"Do you really want to enter the God of Death's secret passage?" Black Dog tried asking.
"The person who gave you the proof of the God of Death, he ordered me to protect the heir of the God of Death" Lin casually replied without any emotions.
She casually took out a set of golden armor and lightly tapped it with her hand.
The entire set of battle armor spread out and attached itself to her body at an extremely fast speed.
After putting on the helmet and the golden mask, no one could see Lin's expression anymore.
Lin then took out a pair of crimson gauntlets and put them on.
Both the armor and gauntlets were chosen by Lola, so even with Lola's eyes, they were top-notch equipment.
The two attendants looked at each other in dismay.
From the looks of it, this woman was already prepared to become Anna's guard.
Black Dog hesitated for a bit, then carefully asked: "Pardon me for asking, but who exactly is that person …"
Lin didn't say anything.
She reached her hand forward. Elemental Fire instantly manifested on the gauntlets, dancing along with her slender fingers.
Her fingers moved.
The flames formed a line that formed a pattern.
— — -on top of a cluster of sparks that looked like stars in the sky, a crown that gave off a blinding light.
Anna's expression changed as she saw this.
This woman was too amazing. She was able to draw such a complicated and profound pattern with just a little bit of fire elemental energy.
Her control over the elements had already reached the pinnacle of perfection.
However, the two attendants were even more shocked than Anna.
"This symbol … looks familiar …"
Black Dog fell into a distant memory.
Black Crow, on the other hand, remembered the existence that the mark represented.
"The exiled apostle, the First Above the Star Crown … it's him."
The black crow retracted its feathers and spoke in a quiet and fearful voice.
Black Dog suddenly understood.
"It's him! I see. "
Black Dog lowered his head and couldn't help but express his respect.
The two servants respectfully bowed to Lin.
"No need for formalities, I'm only following orders — — do you have any other questions?" Lin asked.
"No more."
The two attendants spoke in unison.
"Anna, I'll leave the rest to you," Black Crow said.
Anna was startled and asked, "Leave it to me? What do you mean? "
"There's no time to lose, Anna, and your esteemed protector, the two of you can enter the passage now" Black Dog said.
"Wait a minute, you're not coming with me?" Anna asked.
"We are servants of the Deities, we can't enter that place — — - only the person who inherited the power of Death and their protector can enter" Black Dog replied.
"I never knew I had any power of Death" Anna was confused.
Black Crow explained: "In truth, every member of the Holy Church of Death would undergo the awakening ritual without their knowledge, awakening the power of Death within their body by touching the Awakened Soul Artifact"
"For the last 10,000 years, no one had managed to awaken the power of Death, we all thought that there was no hope, but you appeared, Anna, you've awakened that power" Black Dog said.
Anna raised her hand. Black flames began to surge from her palm.
"This is clearly my God's Chosen power" she was confused.
Black Dog explained: "This is a disguise, Anna, when you awakened, your God's Chosen weapon changed, do you still remember?"
Anna carefully thought about it.
Indeed, at the time, I felt that everyone else received something good from the ritual, while I …
Then, the Scythe of Death changed.
Black Dog continued: "Anna, fate and time have coincided at this very moment, you are the true inheritor. If you want to see the truth of the world, you must accept the God of Death's inheritance"
Anna hesitated, then turned to look at Lin.
She's Gu Qing Shan's older sister …
Anna asked Lin: "I still don't know your name?"
"My name is Lin"
"— — Lin, if you don't want to take any risks, please wait for me in the Holy Church of Death, I'll come out to find you after I'm done here, then we'll return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom"
"No need, you're not strong enough to take that path, I'll go with you and protect you" Lin casually replied.
Anna was surprised.
Together with Gu Qing Shan's older sister …
Why do I feel a bit uneasy?
Anna couldn't help but look at the two servants of the Deities.
The two servants of the Deities both nodded.
"It is indeed dangerous" Black Crow said.
"You will need her protection, even in the Age of Old prophecy, the inheritor of the God of Death would always travel together with her bodyguard"
"Alright then"
Anna had no choice but to say that.
At this point, the air around them suddenly changed.
The earth, the void, all living things gave off a faint but tangible tremor.
Wind began to appear.
This was an indiscernible gust of wind, but it caused the expressions of the two servants of the Deities to change.
"The Era of [Chaos] has descended" Black Dog muttered in a low voice.
"That's right, it's clearly an era of destruction, but [Order] and [Chaos] are still at war" Black Crow sighed.
Lin sensed the changes in the world and remained completely still.
No one could see the expression hidden behind her golden mask.
Black Dog looked at Anna and sincerely told her: "Little Anna, I know you have a lot of wishes, but for the sake of survival, for the sake of helping the people you care about receive powerful help, you must witness the truth of the world and inherit the power of Death — — only power can change the situation — — - this world has always been this realistic"
Anna nodded and cheered herself on. "Okay! This is the most motivating thing I've heard today "
Seeing that they were all prepared, Black Crow flew to the end of the secret room and landed in front of a mural.
It was a gloomy mural, depicting an entity wielding a long-handled scythe with his back to the mural, silently hovering above the endless darkness.
This mural stretched across the entire wall, giving off a grand and historical feeling.
As Black Crow looked at the mural, his eyes showed endless emotions.
Black Dog explained to Anna and Lin: "Under normal circumstances, I would store the power of Death and be responsible for any unexpected battles"
"Black Crow isn't like me, his power of Death has never been used for anything"
"Why is that?" Anna couldn't help but ask.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she indeed had never seen Sir Black Crow fight before.
"Because Black Crow's power was personally inherited by the God of Death from the Age of Old. For the sake of his successor, Black Crow was responsible for preserving this power until a certain moment comes"
Black Crow replied: "That's right, it is this moment"
He reached out his long beak and lightly pecked the mural.
The mural silently split apart to reveal what was inside.
It was a huge bronze door that was five meters tall.
This gate was completely bare without anything on it, but anyone who stood in front of it couldn't help but feel small and insignificant.
Black Crow stepped forward and began to chant an incantation:
"Eternal God of Death, I have come from the end of the endless years to report to you"
"A Saintess born with the power of the God of Death has spread your majesty across the infinite worlds, following your path, no different from when you were still alive"
"And now, I shall use the divine power you left behind to guide her into the underground passage"
Black Crow's body released countless strands of deep darkness that entered the bronze gate.
A moment of silence.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
The heavy noise sounded like a sigh filled with endless vicissitudes of life.
The bronze gate slowly opened.
Black Crow heaved a sigh of relief and stepped aside.
Behind the bronze gate, a deep, dark abyss extended downwards without an end in sight.
Only a single stone slab hovered in front of the gate, waiting for anyone to enter.
Black Dog reminded her: "Even with all of Black Crow's power, he can only open this gate once. Anna, you must treasure this chance, because this is your only chance, as well as the Holy Church of Death's only chance"
Anna gritted her teeth and nodded.
Black Dog then turned to Lin: "Please take good care of her"
Lin replied: "Don't worry, I will"
Black Dog also stepped aside.
Anna and Lin went through the bronze gate and stood on the floating stone slab.
Their bodies were slowly swallowed by the darkness.
It was time to part.
Black Dog still couldn't help but whisper: "Little Anna, if you can't do it, just stay alive and come back alive"
Anna looked at the concerned expression on the other party's face and felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded silently.
The bronze gate slowly closed.
