Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 595 Underworld Emperor Salinger

The members of the Tarot Club were all attracted by Derrick's description of the exploration of the former chief's tomb, and they heard him continue: "The result of the exploration was that the former chief had lost control, and his body was covered with pale yellow stains. There seems to be an illusory black thin tube behind the feathers that connects to the infinite distance.

“In the end, after the battle, the current Chief Colin and the others only obtained one sealed item and cut off those black thin tubes.

"In addition, the chief solemnly told me that at the end of the battle, Elder Lovia released a shadow, and its target seemed to be those black thin tubes.

"But the chief used the spell made by praying to Mr. Fool to make the shadow disappear into the darkness."

Everyone who knew about it felt that the description of "Little Sun" was very novel, and they felt that Chief Colin was wary of "Elder Shepherd".

The unknowing "Star" Leonard frowned and guessed the identity of "Little Sun": His dress is very simple, I have never seen such a dress, but judging from the height, he should be Fusak people. But what organization does he belong to? Why haven't I heard that there is any extraordinary organization in the Fusac Empire that has a chief and a "Six-person Council", and they seem to be dealing with events in the "God of Death" path.

Leonard made his judgment based on the "feathers stained with light yellow stains." In the files related to Red Gloves, the appearance of feathers with light yellow stains is usually accompanied by very dangerous "Reaper" path cases.

Klein recalled his experience when he first arrived in the Southern Continent. The copper whistle Mr. Azik gave him suddenly behaved strangely. At that time, the spiritual world of the Raging Sea seemed to be boiling, and even ordinary people noticed the abnormality.

It was precisely based on this clue that Klein invited Mr. Azik to come and explore, so Klein closed his eyes and "witnessed" the process of the goddess of the night seizing the uniqueness of the "God of Death" path.

Later, Klein thought that he might have been marked by the goddess of the night. When he encountered the feathered serpent hidden in the huge mausoleum of the violent sea, the goddess of the night was aware of it and quickly completed the process of divine descent based on the mark on her body. .

Klein felt that he had "led the way with merit", so he tried to pray to the goddess for strength, and he got a very advanced "bad luck charm". Ince Zangwill did not escape the state of bad luck until his death.

According to "Little Sun"'s speculation, when Azik's copper whistle experienced an abnormality, it was the day Silver City explored the tomb.

Klein wondered: Is there any connection between the two?

Derrick finally said: "I guess the chief told me this because he hopes that I can come and ask everyone what those black thin tubes are? Where do they lead to? He also hopes that I can be wary of Elder Lovia."

Hobert nodded lightly: "Little Sun" has made great progress after Alger's teachings during this period! They will all try to figure out what the chief means.

Cattleya was the first to guess: "Could those thin black tubes connect to the underworld? After all, your former chief was promoted to a 'ferryman'. It is said that their duty is to pass a quiet and far-reaching river to kill everything." The creatures are sent to the underworld.”

"I think this has something to do with the Eggers family's current 'artificial death' plan." Hobert said suddenly.

Leonard sat forward. He had heard about the "Artificial Death" plan, but he didn't know the specific content of the plan.

Audrey was a little strange: "Artificial Death"? The combination of the two words "artificial" and "death" gives people a strange feeling.

Klein behind the gray fog: Think of it with me.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Hobert continued: "I have this guess based on the 'light yellow stained feathers'.

"As far as I know, the image of the ancient God of Death is a phoenix, and the emblem of the Eggers family is the image of a feathered serpent. Some people even speculate that the Hades Emperor Salinger was once a feathered serpent?

"So after he became a god, he changed the status of the mythical creature in the 'God of Death' path?

"So I think the former chief of Silver City may have mutated due to the influence of the 'Artificial Death'.

"Otherwise, the extraordinary characteristics used for his promotion came from the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods'. If there was no external influence, even if he lost control, he would have turned into a monster that tended to take on the image of a phoenix."

Finally, he spread his hands and said, "Of course, this guess is a bit subjective. Maybe after Salinger becomes a god, he will be able to affect all the Beyonders on the same path.

"Even though this extraordinary characteristic is in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods', even though it has been affected by the ancient God of Death, it has never been affected by the Emperor of Hades."

Most of the other members did not know about the "Artificial Death" plan, so they could not comment on the emperor's speculation.

Leonard was a little surprised: "A place abandoned by God"? "The sun" comes from "the land abandoned by God"? That...that is a legendary continent!

Then he realized: It is not impossible, which can explain why I am very unfamiliar with the names such as the "Six-person Council" mentioned by "The Sun".

Leonard's laid-back personality and the fact that he heard a lot of secrets from the old man made him somewhat immune to any surprising information.

Derrick immediately asked: "Will this have any impact on Silver City?"

"Weren't all the black thin tubes cut off?" Hobert said, "It shouldn't have any impact."

He thought for a moment and then said: "As for the black shadow released by Elder Lovia, could it be that the 'True Creator' wants to confirm the status of the 'Artificial Death'? Or that he wants to affect the status of the 'Artificial Death'?"

Before the other members could start to think about it, Derrick immediately asked: "Is this the way for us to leave the 'Land Abandoned by Gods'? After all, those thin black tubes are connected to your world."

Hobert thought for a second or two before saying: "Probably not. Since it is the promotion of the 'God of Death' path and the connected black pipes, I speculate that these black pipes are nothing more than two ways to connect to the tomb of the former chief of Silver City.

“One is the underworld, and the other is the unknown path.

"The underworld is obviously impossible. It is part of the spiritual world. If the underworld can be used to connect to the 'Land Abandoned by Gods', then before today, there should be many extraordinary people of the 'God of Death' path visiting Silver City.

"As for the unknown path, I am like the Hermit Lady. I heard that in the realm that symbolizes the path of the 'God of Death', in addition to the underworld, there is also a quiet and deep river.

"But the specifics are not clear."

Not only the "River of Eternal Darkness", but also information related to the source of matter, Hobert plans to wait until the time is right to announce it.

Hobert continued: "If it is connected to Silver City in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods' through this unknown way, with the current strength of Silver City, there is no way to enter there.

"Even if you enter there, death may be the best outcome. Perhaps the bodies and souls of all those who enter there will forever become the puppets of death."

Derrick nodded: "Mr. Emperor, thank you for your answer. I will pay you a certain amount for these two questions."

Hobert did not refuse. Although his analysis was a bit hidden, the result was correct.

This is also a problem that Hobert encounters when he is currently doing intelligence trading. He knows the results, but does not know the process, so the process requires subjective guessing.

There were some parts that he felt didn't make sense, but he still had to "guess hard."

At this time, Audrey asked what Emlyn, Forsi and others were thinking: "Mr. Emperor, what is an 'artificial god of death'? Can the god of death still be created by humans?"

Hobert smiled and said: "This is a long story. Well, let me think about it. It has to start with Pluto. We have done a lot of information exchanges about the Fourth Age before, but we have never done any transactions. Information about the Hades Emperor!

"If you want to hear the whole story, there has to be a deal."

Audrey nodded immediately: "I am willing to join this deal."

Other members also expressed their willingness to join. Only the newcomer Leonard was a little hesitant because he also knew some secrets of the Fourth Age from the old man and was not sure whether the "Emperor"'s information was the same as what he knew.

At this time, Hobert said: "Well, every member who joins this transaction will still owe me a favor in the future, and the value of this 'help' will not exceed 800 pounds.

"Ms. Hermit and Mr. Moon, you can listen for free this time and you can ask questions."

Leonard raised his hand slightly like he did during a Red Glove meeting: "Sorry, I didn't quite understand this reward. What do you mean by 'owing a' help?"

Hobert replied: "It's similar to a bond, we can trade it first without paying me anything for the time being.

"But in the future, if I need it, I will ask you for help to repay the debt. Of course, the process of repaying the debt must be done voluntarily.

“In addition, in order to better distinguish the amount of debt, we simply converted it into gold pounds.

"But unlike bonds, I won't add interest."

Leonard recalled the deal between the "Emperor" and the "Hermit", and said happily: "In that case, I will also join this deal."

For Leonard, who likes to enjoy himself immediately, he never worries about debt, and a debt of 800 pounds is nothing to him.

After everyone has no problems, the transaction officially begins.

"In order to take care of the new members, let's briefly describe the first half of the 'War of the Four Emperors'." Hobert said: "With the resurrection of Solomon, the entire North and South Continent formed a situation where the Four Emperors were divided.

“The four emperors are the Black Emperor, the Blood Emperor, the Night Emperor and the Underworld Emperor.

"The first one to fall was the Black Emperor Solomon. Zarathu, the two nobles of Solomon's Second Empire, were killed by Mr. Door and Antigonus.

"Another great nobleman, Zoroaster..."

Leonard took the bait as expected: "Sorry, interrupt you, who were you talking about just now?"

Hobert repeated: "Zorroaster!"

Although the old man told Leonard a lot about the history of the Fourth Age, he never told him which camp he belonged to at that time.

So Leonard only found out today that the old man was a great nobleman of the Solomon Empire.

Klein shook his head secretly again: I don’t even want to say anything.

"The Hanged Man" Alger looked at "The Star" meaningfully: Is this Mr. Star related to the Zoroastrian family? Or simply a member of this family? That's right, as a member of the Tarot Society, you must have some background.

Audrey also looked at "Xingxing": an official extraordinary person, and also related to the Angel family, Mr. Xingxing's identity is very complicated.

"Hermit" Cattleya also said to herself: If you have any questions or needs regarding the "Stealer" path in the future, you can contact this Mr. Star.

Hobert continued: "Without the help of the Black Emperor, Zoroastrian could only hide everywhere in the face of Amon's pursuit."

Leonard felt a change in the way other members looked at him, but he didn't take it seriously at all: "Can you tell me more about Zoroastrian's experience?"

For him, his identity in the real world has nothing to do with the Zoroastrian family, and he is not afraid of exposing anything.

Hobert said: "We will trade alone in a while. Let me think about it. The value of this information is 3000 pounds. It should not be excessive, because it involves a lot of information about the Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire.

"This information was only traded at previous Tarot meetings, and the total value exceeded 1 pounds. This price is considered a discount for newcomers.

"In addition, I also know some information about the Zoroastrian family. This information has never been disclosed in a Tarot meeting. The 3000 pounds is definitely worth the money."

Klein almost covered his face: For every new member, does the "Emperor" have to pluck out a layer of wool?

Leonard asked: "Is it also a payment of 3000 pounds in the form of future help?"

"Yes."

"make a deal!"

Seeing Leonard agreeing so happily, Hobert suddenly had the illusion that he might not get the money back.

Recalling Leonard's usual free and easy attitude, he smiled helplessly and did not get too entangled in this matter, but continued: "The second one to die was the Blood Emperor!

"We said before when we were trading information related to the Trunsoest Empire that the Blood Emperor should have been defeated by the Hades Emperor and the Night Emperor. The evidence for this speculation is that the Hades Emperor has the only way to 'Hunter' sex."

Leonard originally wanted to raise his hand and ask a question, but he thought that he could ask the question during a separate transaction for a while, so he did not continue to interrupt the "Emperor"'s narration.

At the same time, he realized that the history of the Fourth Age that he knew was very fragmented, while the information provided by the "Emperor" seemed to be very comprehensive and systematic.

Just listen to Hobert continue: "Shortly after the death of the Blood Emperor, the Night Emperor also fell under the siege of the Six Gods. In order to better control the secular political power, the Six Gods seem to have reached a consensus and will not support the rulers at the true god level for the time being.

"So they supported the four great nobles of the Trunsoest Empire and established four countries respectively, basically forming the current situation of confrontation between the four great powers in the Northern Continent.

"As for the small countries between the big countries, most of them were split from the 'War of Broken Oaths'. Of course, that is a story for another day."

Although they already had relevant understanding before, but listening to the description of the "Emperor" again, everyone can still feel the vicissitudes of history.

But Leonard felt that even just hearing this information, the 800 pounds was well spent.

At the same time, he couldn't help but frown, because the "Emperor" seemed to have no respect for the Six Gods.

Hobert paused for a second or two, and seemed to organize his words before continuing: "The full name of the Hades Emperor is Salinger Eggers.

"The earliest record I got about him appears in the description of the 'Destruction Demonic Wolf'. In the Second Age, he was the subordinate god of this ancient god: the god of the undead."

Leonard was once again surprised: This is information about the Second Age! Just tell everyone without reservation? No, it can be seen from everyone’s expressions that everyone knows about this! The "Emperor" is telling me specifically!

Then he seriously doubted his previous judgment: Is the "Emperor" really Hobert? If it was really him, where did he get such advanced information? Where is the ‘creator’?

The other members all know this information, and have long been accustomed to this type of information, so there is no emotion like surprise.

Just like reviewing the previous story, listening to the "Emperor"'s description.

Hobert continued: "With the divine war that took place in the middle of the Second Age, the 'Destruction Wolf' fell. As for the conjecture about the death of this ancient god, we have already traded relevant information before."

When he said this, Klein glanced at Leonard: Fortunately, Hobert didn't plan to go into details, otherwise you would have had to explode!

"Salinger, who no longer had the protection of the ancient gods, quickly took refuge in the ancestor of the ancient god of death, the phoenix." Hobert said: "The image of the phoenix can still be seen on the ornaments of the Southern Continent. I won't go into details here. "

"During the battle between the ancient sun god and the ancient gods, the ancient death god Gregali fell.

“Because I don’t know much about this incident, I don’t know if Salinger made any contribution, but there were two things that were very intriguing later.

“The first thing is that Sallinger was only a Sequence 2 Servant God when he took refuge with Gray Carrie.

"By the time of the Third Age, he was already the King of Angels of the 'Death' path, so when Gray Carrie died, he should have obtained two Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics or at least one Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristic and The uniqueness of this approach.

"I don't have the specific time when Salinger became a god, but when he joined the Rose of Redemption, he probably wasn't a true god yet. I personally think that he became a god in the early Fourth Age, so he had corresponding strength. Established the Balam Empire, and once fought against each other with the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of God of War."

Everyone nodded slowly and agreed with the "Emperor's" guess. Now everyone has even become accustomed to such speculation. They also know that this may not be the truth, but it should be close to the truth.

Leonard had already unconsciously sat very upright: Such a detailed description! The knowledge that comes from mere conjecture is also very valuable!

Then the questions in his mind emerged like a spring: What does the King of Angels mean? I heard the old man talk about uniqueness, but what is its specific function? What is the organization "Redemption Rose"? Why did the "Emperor" emphasize that the Pluto Emperor's Balam Empire fought against the Church of the Goddess and the Church of the God of War? Finally, he realized by observing the expressions of other members: The "Emperor" often trades this level of intelligence, and the price is so affordable? Haha, is this the Tarot Society? No wonder Klein's promotion speed is so fast, it turns out this party is so special!

For now, most of the information mentioned by the "Emperor" has been released before, and even those that have not been released are not beyond the psychological tolerance of other members.

Moreover, the "Emperor" made it very clear, and there was basically no doubt in everyone's hearts.

Hobert continued to tell the intriguing first thing: "There are only two ways for Salinger to obtain these extraordinary characteristics. The first is to pick them up from the battlefield, and the second is to be given to him by the ancient sun god.

"The first way does not rule out Salinger's good luck, but if it is the second way, he must have provided some help for the ancient Sun God to defeat the ancient God of Death."

The venue, which looked like a hall of giants, was very quiet. Everyone basically had the same idea: that is to say, the way for the "Emperor of the Underworld" to get the chance to become a god was probably another dark history.

After experiencing the transactions related to the "Land of Darkness", even Audrey had a certain immunity to such a dark history at this time and did not think much about it.

Leonard frowned. Although he had no sympathy with the historical figure of the Hades Emperor, he also felt that this seemed a bit blasphemous.

"The second intriguing thing is that Salinger was invited to participate in the 'Redemption Rose'." Hobert said: "We have also made related transactions regarding the death of the ancient Sun God, the 'Dark Angel' and the Goddess of Night... …”

"Wait!" Leonard couldn't help but interrupt again: "Sorry, 'Redemption Rose' is related to the goddess of the night?"

This time, Klein really made the action of covering his face, but he shared the sense of "the world" at this time and made this action using the "world".

After hearing Leonard's question, Alger immediately understood: "Star" was probably an extraordinary person from the Church of the Night Goddess.

Cattleya is also a little surprised: The Church of the Goddess of the Night has never discovered that "Xingxing" is a member of the Zoroastrian family? Or did this family secretly seek refuge with the goddess of the night in order to avoid Amon's pursuit?

Audrey was even a little shocked: Mr. Star is actually an extraordinary person from the Church of the Goddess of Night? I wonder if it’s in Backlund?

Even "Moon" Emlyn realized: "Stars" wouldn't be like me and were forced to serve the Church of the Night Goddess, right?

Forsi is already imagining the image of a bishop of the Church of the Night Goddess who is both good and evil.

The only one who didn't care much about this was "Little Sun" Derrick, but he also made a certain conclusion in his heart: Mr. Star is related to the Goddess of Night and the Zoroastrian family.

After Leonard asked this question, he realized that he seemed to have exposed something, but compared to the information he had exposed, he wanted to get the information about the goddess more.

"Yes." Hobert answered in the affirmative.

Leonard then asked: "Can you tell me more about the information about the 'Redemption Rose'?"

"The value of this information is very high." Hobert said: "Other members spent 8000 pounds to obtain this information, and spent 18000 pounds to obtain complete information.

"Just pretend that you participated in the crowdfunding at that time, and I will give you a preferential price, which is still 3000 pounds."

Leonard was silent. If he added this transaction, his "liability" would be as high as 6800 pounds. Even if he didn't plan to repay the debt properly, he would still have a certain psychological burden.

Then he thought that the use of this information was not very urgent, and he could also ask the old man or write to Klein.

So he said: "I'll think about it again."

Hobert nodded and continued the topic: "The Dark Angel and the Goddess of Night, the initiators of the Rose of Redemption, will not invite gods who have hatred against the ancient sun god.

“I believe that Salinger’s power at that time should be similar to that of the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the God of War, and other forces. In the Third Age, it was the power of the ancient Sun God who defaulted to a certain area or could develop to a certain extent.

"So I say that the relationship between the ancient Sun God and Salinger is very intriguing."

Leonard couldn't help but scratch his head: The "Emperor's" information seems to be different from the history of the Third Age in my concept!

Finally, Hobert said: "I have such a conjecture, but it is purely a conjecture without any evidence to support it.

"As I said before, let me say it and everyone should listen. It should not affect everyone's search for the truth about the relevant information."

This was not the first time that everyone heard Hobert's words. Instead of relaxing, they all listened attentively to his next conjecture.

"Could this be the case?" Hobert asked: "Salinger helped the ancient Sun God defeat the ancient Death God Gregory, so he obtained the uniqueness of this path from the Ancient Sun God, as well as a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics.

“Later, in the early Fourth Age, the ‘True Creator’ camp gave two other Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics to Salinger in order to balance the Goddess of Night and the God of War.

"So Salinger had the opportunity to become a god, and he did indeed fight against the Goddess of Night and the God of War in the early Fourth Age.

“It was only after the forces of the ‘True Creator’ were completely driven to the ‘Land Abandoned by the Gods’ that the Pluto Emperor cooperated with the Night Emperor to a certain extent, and the Six Gods also acquiesced to their cooperation.

"Obviously the relationship between the two parties had eased a lot at that time."

Leonard wanted to ask Pales Zoroaster at this time: Old man, is the history of the Fourth Age you told me false? Why have you never said that the forces of the "True Creator" also appeared in the northern and southern continents in the early Fourth Age?

Then he understood why the "Emperor" mentioned specifically the Pluto Emperor's crusade against the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of God of War.

Leonard knew the relevant information about "adjacent paths can be interchanged", but as an official Beyonder, he never thought that the related contradictions based on "path exchanges" still existed at the divine level!

To be more precise, in his eyes, the gods are more like abstract symbols. He only needs respect and obedience, and there is no need to consider other things.

The other members all agreed with the emperor's guess because it had a certain logic to it.

As the "Emperor" said, before the truth is found, this information can be used to fill in the gaps in that period of history.

They had no other thoughts. First of all, the "Emperor" had analyzed the situation of the Fourth Age before, and this was already a very clear message.

Except Klein once again lamented: Fire prevention, theft prevention and cunning.

The other members now feel that it is not normal for the gods to have a dark history.

Seeing that everyone accepted his guess, Hobert continued: "The time has come to the Fourth Age. According to the exact information I got from the great 'Creator', the Hades Emperor Salinger was in the process of obtaining the 'Hunter' path. After finding the uniqueness, we used certain conditions to forcibly accommodate the uniqueness!”

The members of the Tarot Club were finally moved. Audrey first asked: "Mr. Emperor, the Emperor of Hades is going to jump to... No, even if he jumps to the 'Hunter' path, he is still a true god!"

However, Cattleya already had some ideas: "What Mr. Emperor means is that Salinger forcibly accommodates the uniqueness of the 'Hunter' path on the basis of the 'God of Death'!"

Then she asked: "What is the purpose of doing this? Is it to use the corresponding power of the 'Hunter' path?"

"On this point, the 'Creator' has given a brief explanation." Hobert said: "The 'Creator' said: Although the abilities of each extraordinary path are different, there is no strong or weak distinction. The key depends on how to use it. my ability.

“So every path, in theory, there is no distinction between good and bad.

"But there are a few paths that are a bit special, such as the 'Monster' path that has no adjacent paths. There are also a few more special paths including the 'Sleepless One', 'Warrior', 'Corpse Collector' path, and 'Hunter' path. ', 'Assassin' path.

"Although the first three and the latter two are not adjacent pathways, after being promoted to a certain sequence, the pathways of the first three and the latter two are interchangeable, and the effect of interchange is similar to that of adjacent pathways. .

"But there are hidden dangers in such an exchange. The 'Creator' said that such hidden dangers can only appear at the level of the True God."

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, thought: This reminds me of the five paths owned by the ancient Sun God. These are also five paths. Do you need to have the uniqueness and certain extraordinary characteristics of these five paths to become an old man? In that case, the goddess has collected two fifths.

Cattleya sighed: This is obviously more advanced information than the "adjacent route". I wonder what contribution the emperor has made? Only then did we get such high-level information.

Leonard's surprise never stopped: What? Can the witch and I exchange paths?

Alger asked: "In other words, by forcibly accommodating Hades, is he trying to become the old man?"

"He does have such a purpose." Hobert said: "But what I want to tell you is that the first three and the last two of these five paths, after reaching the level of the true god, are not as interconnected as the adjacent paths. accommodate."

Although Leonard didn't quite understand, he also heard the key point: after reaching the level of True God, can the extraordinary characteristics of other adjacent pathways be accommodated? This, this kind of information feels blasphemous just thinking about it. The point is, this kind of information is terrible for an old man to know, right?

Hobert continued: "It is said that Pluto is trying to open up a new way to become the old one.

"It can't be said that he succeeded, nor can it be said that he failed, but what is certain is that he basically fell into a state of madness. But he did become stronger."

Klein suddenly thought of the description in Russell's diary: He (referring to Salinger) is crazy, but he has also become stronger.

Then he thought: According to the operation of Hades Emperor Salinger, the way to become the past is to accommodate the uniqueness of plural levels? Is it just that simple?

Alger suddenly smiled: Another guy who would rather be crazy than become strong!

Although Leonard didn't know what "old days" meant, theoretically, this should be very, very confidential information.

He finally couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get this information?"

Hobert smiled and said: "Among the saints loyal to the 'creator', there is one who was once a guard of the ancient god of death. He has some ways to know some of Salinger's situation."

Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization, and Klein among them thought of the strange saint with the "spiritual thread" whom he met in the "Misty Town".

Others lamented: They didn’t expect the “creator” to accept such a saint.

Among them, Fors thought: Not only are they the guards of the ancient Death God, I also know that the "Creator" has just accepted some members of the Gnosis Society who were once loyal to the original witch.

Leonard was slightly startled by the "Emperor's" answer: This once again refreshed my view of the "Creator".

Hobert continued to describe: "But let's talk about Salinger's ally: the original witch.

“According to some scattered information, He became a god in the middle of the Fourth Age, and later chose to support the Underworld Emperor Salinger in the ‘War of the Four Emperors’.

"He actually doesn't have many choices. First of all, as long as he still has some sense, he will not choose to support the Solomon Empire. It is even less likely that he will choose to support the Blood Emperor because they are adjacent paths.

"The original witch can also choose to support the Trunsoest Empire, but this empire is already supported by the Six Gods, and it is unlikely to give it much benefit.

"Rather than being squeezed out by the loose Six Gods Alliance, it is better to go to the Southern Continent to find Salinger's cooperation."

Except for "Little Sun", the other members basically know the evil god, the Original Witch.

Emlyn asked curiously: "During the Fourth Age, was the Witch Sect also the Righteous Church?"

"That's right." Hobert said.

For a moment, Leonard felt that this result was very strange: The Witch Sect was actually the Righteous God Church? This is simply slandering the term Orthodox Church.

Other members probably guessed that Salinger and the original witch failed later, so one became a secret family of extraordinary people in the southern continent, and the other became an evil secret organization.

"During the War of the Four Emperors, the God of Steam and Machinery also ascended to the throne, but at that time He was still called the God of Craftsmen." Hobert said:

"The God of Artisans made a completely different choice from the original Witch. He chose to support the Trunsoest Empire, so the Seven Gods we are familiar with now came together."

Klein was stunned: Why did I think of Dragon Balls?

Hobert continued: "After the death of the Night Emperor, the Seven Gods have already begun to divide the fruits of victory in the 'War of the Four Emperors'." Hobert said: "I have said this before, and I am only giving a rough outline here.

“The Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms supported the Augustus family in establishing the Kingdom of Loen, and the Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom supported the Castile family in establishing the Kingdom of Fenebaud.

“The God of Eternal Sun and Craftsman supports the Sauron family in establishing the Kingdom of Intis, and the God of War supports the Einhorn family in establishing the Fusac Empire.

"I want to explain here that the situation of the God of Artisans is similar to what the original witch expected. In the process of dividing the fruits of victory, he did not gain much benefit.

"It is said that during the Kingdom of Intis, for every three churches of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, only one church of the Church of the God of Artisans was allowed to be built. I don't know what the situation is now."

He paused and continued: "Then the seven gods roughly became four different camps according to the four countries. At the same time, even the three pairs of allies had different attitudes towards different gods.

“For example, when facing the Night Goddess of the Loen Kingdom, the God of War is hostile, the Eternal Sun, the Mother Goddess of Earth, and the God of Craftsmen are neutral, and the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom are allies.

"Facing the Lord of Storms in the Kingdom of Loen, the Eternal Blazing Sun is hostile to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Mother Goddess of the Earth is neutral to the God of War and the God of Craftsmen, and the Goddess of Night is an ally."

The other members had to listen carefully to follow the "Emperor"'s description, and lamented that the situation among the gods at that time was really chaotic.

Klein thought: In fact, until now, the attitude of the gods has hardly changed from that time. The only change may be that in the fifth era, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery can also preach in the Kingdom of Loen. Of course, this is inseparable from Russell's contribution. Perhaps this means that the God of Steam and Machinery is an ally with the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms?

Thinking of this, he shook his head: it might just be that the Kingdom of Loen needs the power of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Leonard was stunned for a second or two before he realized: Am I the only one who thinks this is a blasphemy against the gods? That's a god, shouldn't he be aloof? Why are there still such and such camps?

But then he thought of the church's hostility towards the Church of God of War, and this idea seemed acceptable.

Hobert said: "From the perspective of Salinger and the Original Witch in the Southern Continent, the Seven Gods are full of conflicts after dividing the fruits of victory, which is a good opportunity to attack the Northern Continent.

"Although there is no clear record, according to my assumptions, there should have been some conflicts among the seven gods at that time. The entire northern continent was filled with clouds of war, so the two people in the southern continent had such an idea.

“Even if the Emperor of Hades tolerates the uniqueness of the ‘hunter’ who likes to provoke wars, and even if he is in a crazy state most of the time, if he makes an irrational decision, I believe the original witch will stop him.

"So after believing that there was an opportunity, the Bailang Empire began to attack the Northern Continent with all its strength. This was the 'Pale Age' in history. I believe everyone knows the final result. After all, the current ruler of the Northern Continent is not the 'God of Death' , there is no Witch Church among the True God Church.

"But at first when I got the relevant information, I thought their attack was quickly defeated. But then I realized that this period of history uses the word 'era', which means that this battle should continue. long time."

This is indeed something he only thought of when he was on Shipyard Island some time ago: "I looked back at the information and found that the relevant description was: They caused the Pale Disaster in the Northern Continent.

“In other words, they once successfully invaded the Northern Continent and caused huge disasters.

"At this time, the seven gods who were in a state of dispute felt threatened, so they joined forces to defeat their offensive. It was also after this battle that the God of Craftsman was recognized by the other six gods as the orthodox god."

Hobert said meaningfully: "As for why, the relevant records in the Bibles of the seven Orthodox Churches try their best to downplay the 'age' of the 'Pale Age', you can think about it yourself."

Alger, who had no strong feelings for the Church of Storms, was the first to think: Why else? Of course it was to cover up the Seven Gods' inaction in this disaster.
