Fei Yujing found that it was ignited with fresh blood. It was the darkest flame in the world, darker than darkness and colder than extreme cold.
When she gently rubbed the black flame with her hand, her entire soul seemed to be imprisoned in the Eternal Frozen Ice Field, and she had to endure the erosion of the ice stream every minute and every second. However, the body that she touched felt as if she had been placed in volcanic magma, and the air that came into contact with it began to burn and spread.
The temperature here was close to absolute zero, so what kind of flame could burn in this space?
Fortunately, the Lord of Deep Space and Starry Sea was the ruler of the wind. She used the rootless wind to blow at her burning fingers, gently blowing away the black flame attached to the surface of her skin.
The flame danced all the way, completely unaffected by the low temperature, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
It was unknown which unlucky person would encounter this flowing black flame. Only after devouring enough soul power would it dissipate into the air.
In the blink of an eye, the broken limb, together with the flesh and the bones inside, melted into ashes. That was the body of an A-Class Disaster. In terms of physique alone, it was one of the top species in the world. Even those magic weapons that humans were proud of had difficulty penetrating its skin, but it was directly melted by this small cluster of black flame.
The layer of frost that Fei Yujing had pierced through had disappeared, and in its place were several black flames that crawled out. They flowed on the surface of the Frost Millet King's white fur, each the size of a palm. Very quickly, a new layer of frost covered them, swallowing the black flowers.
"After being tortured by such a strange black flame for so many years, it's no wonder that the Frost King would rather fall into eternal slumber than wake up." Fei Yujing looked at the huge white bear monster in the nest and sneered, "If I'm not wrong, this black flame comes from an ancient player called Lighthouse."
"Lighthouse?" Atrak vaguely remembered that it had lived for a long time. From the very beginning, it was an unconscious mutant that evolved step by step into an F-class Calamity. At that time, it was just an ordinary Human-Faced Arachnid. Thousands of years ago, during the last human era, it had been hiding in the human world, disguising itself as a God.
It wasn't until it continued to devour humans and devour the power of faith that it finally self-anthropomorphized. At that time, Atrak had already evolved into a B-grade Calamity. The day it truly transformed was more than three hundred years ago, when the Goddess of Calamity descended. In this era, players appeared among the humans. At that time, the players hadn't been able to grasp the true power of Source Substances and were slaughtered by them.
It was during that period that Atlas truly awakened and grew into a terrifying Class-A Calamity.
Therefore, it was extremely eager to once again incite the Final Holy War between the humans and the Calamities. Only then would it have the opportunity to touch the threshold of the Monarch rank. Otherwise, with this long and boring self-evolution, who knew when it would become a Monarch rank Calamity?
The name Lighthouse was very familiar, but it had been so long that he couldn't recall it.
"More than three hundred years ago, among the first batch of human players, there was a player called Lighthouse. He controlled the most important Lighthouse resource in the human camp, guiding them forward as well as the return of the souls of the dead." Fei Yujing spoke slowly, as if she was narrating a long history, but also as if she was opening up a legendary experience. "It was said that he had mastered the power of the dead and was a Magician who could control the souls of the dead."
Of course, this wasn't just hearsay.
The biggest difference between Fei Yujing and these Calamities was that she was once a human, so she had a human's unique thirst for knowledge. She crazily absorbed all kinds of knowledge, and before she was determined to fall into the Calamity camp, she had snuck into the Chronometer Tower Consortium's Central Library and read many forbidden books that had long been sealed.
The reason why the Lighthouse player could still be talked about so enthusiastically a hundred years later was not only because of the old Lighthouse buildings that were left behind and could no longer be activated, but also because of his powerful ability to control the souls of the dead.
He was a Level-9 Magician who had switched to the path of the dead, so it would be difficult to find someone who understood the souls of the dead better than him.
There were not many legitimate successors to the Undead Magic that he had created, and the most famous of them was the Level-8 player, First Lady Dong Ling's Love.
The Forgotten Town that she had created to imprison her daughter's soul was later destroyed by Li Xiang by accident, but Fei Yujing was surprised.
When Fei Yujing tried to share her Origin Fire with those who had given her body and strength, she had thought about whether she could further expand her influence by manipulating the souls of the dead.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find any spells related to the souls of the dead, and it was impossible for her to become a Magician again. However, this idea was buried deep in her heart at that time.
When she searched for information related to the Lighthouse player, she occasionally caught a glimpse of this story.
"Those damn shining Lighthouses were actually made by him?" When she said this, Atlas reacted.
In the Holy War between them and the players, there was endless blood and corpses everywhere. It was said that those shining Lighthouses in the human world were buildings used to guide the souls of the dead back to their hometowns, and they contained very terrifying magic arrays. Those souls of the dead returned to their hometowns and became new Undead Warriors, once again participating in the Holy War.
It was by relying on this terrible momentum of bloody battles when alive and continuing to kill until ashes scattered in the wind after death that humans expelled the disaster from the Great Wall of Disaster and established the order of the seven continents.
It told this matter to Fei Yujing.
Fei Yujing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, then the story I saw is true."
"What story? Is it related to this black fire? Is it related to the Ice Grain King? " Atlas was a little impatient. From the outside of the Ice Grain Valley to here, Fei Yujing had never said anything about her purpose of coming here, which made it anxious and curious.
"It's a rumor about why the Lighthouse can light up those Spirit Summoning Towers." Fei Yujing glanced at the inextinguishable black fire and said with a smile, "It's said that there was a small episode when he got the Player Carrier. It was a very special Player Carrier, not like the other Player Carriers that came from the Book of Creation, but a black flame that jumped out from the Eternal River."
"Black flame, could it be this?" Atlas looked at the Ice Grain King and asked doubtfully, "That's impossible, I heard that the Player Carrier is a substance very close to the origin of Source Form, it's the rune writing on the Book of Creation. Since he could become a player, how could he …"
"Why is it impossible?" Fei Yujing impatiently interrupted its words. This kind of anthropomorphic disaster was like this, their thinking was childish and laughable, and before they completely evolved into human form, they did not have the ability to think independently of humans.
It was probably because of this that Lancelot dared to make use of these guys without worry.
"If the source of the Eternal River is an existence on the same level as the Creator, then why can't the black fire it bestowed create a player like the Player Carrier?"
"An existence on the same level as the Creator …" This touched on Atlas's knowledge blind spot.
No matter if it was the disaster or the human, they were all species in this world. The source of the disaster was the sea of stars, and the source of the human was the seven continents. In the last era, it was the Blue Planet and the universe outside of the Blue Planet.
This meant that they were created by the same hands.
It was just two completely opposite evolution models.
Since the Master of Creation existed, why wasn't there an existence that was on equal footing with it?
Atlas's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the world at the end of the sea of stars.
Even deeper, the sea of stars had even more beautiful scenery.
However, they needed to cross the legendary Eternal River that had no end, and then come to that mysterious Eternal Door. Only by passing through the door could they reach that world.
The closer they got to that place, the more dangerous it was.
Even monsters like the Dominators who followed their instincts did not dare to enter the Eternal River, let alone go deeper.
That was the place where their instincts repelled fear.
Without getting close to that area, they could see countless Dominators fighting, and there were even existences stronger than the Dominators killing wantonly there. To pass through these terrifying beings, enter the Eternal River, and reach the Eternal Door, it was simply unimaginable.
However, there were indeed people who had been there.
Atlas also knew about this, and it was still fresh in his memory. That group of humans had left their footprints in the Eternal River, and even reached the other side of the river, and entered the Eternal Door!
Fei Yujing didn't feel much fear or reverence as he listened to Atlas speak of these matters while trembling with fear.
She just had a new understanding of the strength of the White King and the others.
The Five Kings, the Polar night magician, the Night King, Bai Lili, Lancelot, and Duke Silo, these ten people were the only ones in the human camp who had been to the Eternal Door.
Just reaching the so-called Eternal River was so difficult, and one had to be at least Level-9 strength to enter the river where so many Dominators were fighting. Of course, Level-9 strength alone was probably far from enough.
These ten people were either above Level-9 or at the peak of Level-9, which was why they could successfully enter the Eternal River, reach the end, and reach the Eternal Door on the other side of the river.
"You mean to say that this existence on the same level as the Creator is inside the Eternal Door?" Fei Yujing looked at Atlas. The poor Human-Faced Spider God was scared out of its wits. It did not dare to casually talk about topics related to the Eternal Door.
If even disasters had fear, then the only thing that could make them feel fear was this illusory door that they yearned for.
"I … I didn't say that. It's … it's what you thought."
Fei Yujing sneered. She had not considered this level, and had only speculated a corner of this mysterious and powerful existence from a few words in the ancient books.
What moved her was not these old stories, but the peerless power that could be obtained behind this.
The ancient books mentioned that the Lighthouse player used that mysterious black fire to light up those Spirit Summoning Towers. After his death, the Lighthouses all went dark, and no one could light them up again. The Spirit Summoning Towers lost their meaning, and there must be a very important reason for this.
In recent years, only the Polar night magician had lit up the first Lighthouse, but that did not have the ability to summon souls. It only allowed Lighthouse Academy to not be disturbed by the souls of the dead and the Gates of the Abyss in the pitch-black Dead Sea.
But it was indeed the effect of the first Lighthouse.
After the Polar night magician died, the first Lighthouse, which was the most important spiritual symbol, collapsed. It was regarded as the end of a legend, and the new Polar night player Li Xiang slowly shifted everyone's attention from the Lighthouse to the new Polar night.
But Fei Yujing did not shift her gaze.
The Polar night magician obviously did not obtain the true inheritance of the Lighthouse, and he did not tell this secret to Li Xiang. Otherwise, he would not have immediately destroyed the first Lighthouse under the cover of his own death.
After his death, there was no guarantee that the first Lighthouse could still be well protected. Li Xiang's power was not enough. If the first Lighthouse fell into the hands of someone and was studied, and if its ability to summon souls was discovered, it would definitely not be a good thing for the human camp.
That was why he did not say anything. That was why he destroyed the first Lighthouse, and that was why Fei Yujing's desire was even more aroused.
The Lighthouse player had relied on this black fire to light up the Spirit Summoning Towers and guide the souls of the dead back. Now that he was dead, the inheritance of the black fire was broken, but there were still remnants of the black fire here!
Another ancient book mentioned that the Lighthouse player had once fought with the Dominator, the Frost King. The records were very vague, but as long as there was such a clue, Fei Yujing had the motivation to explore.
The Frost Millet King must have entered eternal slumber because it was severely injured. Then what could cause a Ruler to be so severely injured?
The answer was obvious.
Atlas did not know that she had so many thoughts in her mind. He was more concerned about the source of the black fire. If it was really a mysterious existence in the Gate of Eternity, then they could not touch it.
That was an existence on the same level as the Creator!
"Actually, I've been looking for a long time, and I've roughly understood some rumors about that mysterious existence," Fei Yujing said faintly.
Atlas was scared half to death. "What?! Are you crazy? Spying on those mysterious existences might attract their attention. "
Was this woman really not afraid of death?
The lifespan of the calamities was almost infinite. There was enough time for them to continue to evolve and become stronger. If they could not defeat the humans, they would waste time until the Lighthouse players were all dead. In the end, wouldn't they be the ones to win?
The Frost King lost to the Lighthouse, but after a hundred years, wouldn't it be the final winner?
Of course, Fei Yujing would not tell it that she planned to take an even more dangerous path. She would not allow the Master of the Deep Space and the Starry Sea in her body to devour her in advance.
"In short, this black fire is just a part of that mysterious existence's incarnation." Fei Yujing spoke her speculation without hesitation. If this existence really noticed her two little ants, then she could only blame herself for being unlucky. However, she estimated that the other party would not care about the two little ants mentioning its existence at all.
This was the final conclusion she came to after repeated speculations and many ancient books that reflected each other.
"The reason why the black fire cannot be extinguished and has such terrifying power is because that existence controls the world's darkness. What is the darkest thing? It's chaos, and this black fire is just a part of chaos, inheriting the darkness of chaos. "
"Since it's a part of it, it means that it deliberately placed its Authority in the Seven Continents. Perhaps the Lighthouse players were only lucky enough to obtain a part of its Authority. Perhaps it still has more Authority scattered all over the place, even the Dark Chaos!"
Fei Yujing was extremely excited.
"Since that's the case, it means that it doesn't care who gets these authorities. It only cares if the person who gets them can do what it wants them to do. No matter what its purpose is, I have a chance to get it! Even without the darkness and chaos, with the black fire, I can still deal with the Master of the Deep Space and the Starry Sea. "
"You actually want to get this! Are you crazy?! " Atlas was really stupid if he still did not understand at this point. He took a few steps back. In order to get the black fire, he had to melt the layer of frost of the Ice Millet Monarch.
The frost was used to seal the black fire and prevent it from spreading to other parts of its body. If the frost was gone, it would definitely be forced to wake up from its eternal slumber!
If an angry dominator was forced to wake up from its eternal slumber, what would it do? It would definitely kill all the creatures in front of it!
This woman, this Shared Eater, had gone crazy!
Atrak retreated out of the lair and looked at her as if she was a monster. "I will definitely report this to Joker. You are indeed the lowliest species. All you think about is how to obtain power. You can even do such things for power!"
"No, you won't tell Joker."
Fei Yujing smiled.
"Hmm?"
"Because dead people can't talk."
