Chapter 199 The First Great One to Fall

"I know you'll forgive me, right?"

Outside of reality, outside of the nine dimensions, there is an isolated island deep in chaos and nothingness.

An island that belongs exclusively to the Lord of Death.

"They saw me standing with you. I am being hunted. I beg for your forgiveness. I am still your child. I will help you take back your lost throne. I will never betray you."

In the palace on the island of nothingness, the true body of the Lord of Death prostrated himself in front of Chen Xiang, pious and respectful.

Chen Xiang sat upright on the throne, closed his eyes, and listened quietly.

for a long time.

He opened his eyes and stared at the Lord of Death, his tone calm and indifferent:
"Is this why you secretly invited me to this floating island?"

"Yes, Great Father."

The Lord of Death begged for mercy:

"Brother, brother said, please forgive me. I know my crime is unforgivable, but please do it for your sake."

Chen Xiang stared at the Lord of Death indifferently, his tone was very calm:

"I always thought that I was not prepared enough to regain my former throne and climb to the top again."

He did not directly answer the Lord of Death, but simply said:
"Since 1518, % of all the information I have come into contact with came from unknown people and traitors. I have been fooled many times. I trust others too easily, but it turns out that trust is fragile."

The Lord of Death crawls:

"You can trust me. I will be absolutely loyal. Even if you doubt my loyalty, you can trust my heart to avenge my brother."

He spoke in agony:
"Mang is the one who cares for me the most and loves me the most. I have never thought of killing him. Those outer gods, they deserve to die, every one of them deserves to die. I will be your sharpest sword, I will charge ahead, I swear to you!"

"is it?"

Chen Xiang sighed:
"I was actually very angry too - a moment ago, but I just thought of something, something extremely crucial."

The Lord of Death prostrated himself, respectfully:
"I am listening to you."

Chen Xiang looked down at Him, sizing up the palace, his eyes passing through the palace and scanning the floating island hidden deep in the chaos and nothingness.

The island is not very big, but it is lush and green, with many powerful supernatural lives, but there are no humans.

For a long time, Chen Xiang stared at the Lord of Death with a half-smile:

"You were taking a huge gamble, and you almost succeeded—I'm sure I almost wanted to forgive you."

The Lord of Death suddenly raised his head.

He said in confusion:

"Father, I don't understand what you mean. I really don't understand."

Chen Xiang spoke gently:
"Hongyue, your brother, He has long been dead - but even if he is truly dead, he will definitely leave behind a trace of regret. In fact, I have almost communicated with the regret several times, and I am sure that the regret once existed in Hongyue."

"Zeng?" The Lord of Death said blankly: "Father, that is indeed my brother. I can smell that very familiar message."

A look of misery appeared on His face.

Chen Xiang smiled:
"Yes, it has the same aura, but the regret of Hong Yue has long gone, don't you know?"

The Lord of Death's scalp exploded slightly.

Chen Xiang stood up from the throne and walked down the long steps step by step:

"Unfortunately, your other brother, Dai, the Lord of Taboo, had already injected Red Moon with a strong soul poison through fraudulent means, causing the last bit of Red Moon's remnant to dissipate."

"And when you and I stepped on the red moon, by sheer coincidence, the nine Outer Gods worked together to pull the red moon out of reality."

"It is a coincidence that the regret of the Red Moon has revived - and, let me forgive you."

Chen Xiang stared at the Lord of Death, whose pupils suddenly shrank. He had no idea how Dai could possibly give Hong Yue soul poison. His face was filled with confusion:

"Great father, I don't understand why you misunderstood me. You must have misunderstood something. I was indeed hunted by the Outer Gods and almost died! This is my last hiding place and my backup."

"is it?"

Chen Xiang sighed softly:

"Then why have you been on guard? Why have you been accumulating strength?"

The Lord of Death's expression changed slightly:

"Because I am afraid of you, my father."

"Yes, indeed, you are afraid of me."

Chen Xiang squatted down and looked into the eyes of the Lord of Death:
"I can sense from the truth that you are indeed being hunted by the Outer Gods sincerely. This is indeed a good proof, but you overlooked two points."

"First, although the Red Moon Remnant is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, it can indeed be explained that a trace of the Red Moon Remnant still remains under the soul poison, but the problem is..."

"The question is, since the Red Moon Remnant has briefly awakened, why didn't He tell me my real name?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Death was stunned:
"Your real name? Titan, the Great Father, the Pillar of Reality, the Foundation of All Worlds. What happened to you?"

Chen Xiang laughed:

"See, this should be called information asymmetry."

The Lord of Death, like the Outer Gods, has a disordered cognition, thinking that his real name is Emperor Tan, and that they are still his loyal children.
The Lord of Death didn't know that the reason Hongyue died was because he knew his real name, and those guys were afraid that Hongyue would tell them his real name.

Chen Xiang's eyes were extremely cold, and he continued:

"And secondly, unfortunately, I have discovered some truth. How about I tell you?"

He spoke calmly:
"It's a real gamble. I saw from the past that the Outer God asked you to locate the coordinates so as to drag the Red Moon out of reality and use it to weaken my curse."

The Lord of Death suddenly jumped up, revealing his true form, transforming into a huge Titan, surrounded by a heavy breath of death!
Chen Xiang looked up at the huge Titan that had broken through the palace and continued:
"And the first moment you saw me in the ancient hall, you made a plan. You quietly gave out the coordinates of the Red Moon, forged the Red Moon's remnant, and even pretended to be on my side, allowing the Outer Gods to hunt you down after the Red Moon fell."

"You are afraid and want to turn from darkness to light, but you are also afraid that I won't agree, so you created this situation. Is that right?"

The Death Titan was still expanding. To it, the entire floating island in the depths of chaos and nothingness was only the size of a palm.
He opened his mouth, and a roar with a huge background noise came out:

"Yes! Yes! But father, I have done so much because I really want to be loyal again. I stand by you!"

"I'm very relieved."

Chen Xiang looked at the huge Death Titan and felt its explosive power:

"but."

"How can I continue to trust you? After your betrayal?"

Death Titan color change:

"Father! I have cut off my retreat. I have completely torn my relationship with the Outer Gods. You can believe me. I just want to atone for my sins!"

After a pause, He said in a shocking voice:
"You are so weak now, you need my help, I am willing to be the hero, I am willing!"

Chen Xiang looked at the thick breath of death surging behind the Death Titan and smiled silently:

"You think that, facing me who has fallen to the level of a great being, as long as you overcome your inner fear and cowardice, I may not even be your opponent, right?"

The Lord of Death did not answer directly. The breath of death around him surged even more violently. He said softly:
"Father, I really want to be loyal again. Please give me a chance."

The implication was that Chen Xiang must give Him a chance - otherwise both sides would suffer losses, and even now Chen Xiang would most likely not be able to kill Him.

In fact, this is normally the case.

"Yes, that's right."

Chen Xiang smiled and said:
"Even though you have deceived me again, I am still willing to forgive you. After all, you are my child - and as you said, you are too weak now and need help."

The Death Titan was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long breath. He shrank and became smaller, then he prostrated himself in front of Chen Xiang again and kissed his boots.

"Great Father, I will be your most loyal warrior."

Chen Xiang changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, kid, don't you want to know how I discovered all that you did?"

The Lord of Death was stunned:
"That is your great power, how can I peek at it?"

"No, no, no, it's not my great power. After the red moon fell, I noticed something was wrong, so I went straight to find an old friend."

"Who?" The Lord of Death asked subconsciously.

"Silly girl. Well, you can also call her the Book of All-Knowing, and with her is a very powerful guy."

The moment the words fell, the Lord of Death's scalp suddenly tingled, his spiritual power frantically warned him, and he suddenly glanced to the side, and saw a middle-aged noble standing by his side! !

The Lord of Death had a very bad premonition in his heart and mobilized his own power. An endless abyss of death erupted, covering the entire palace and even the entire floating island!
Chen Xiang coughed slightly, and began to fall towards death. As he got closer and closer to death, even his great body began to decay!
"end."

The middle-aged nobleman flashed in an instant and appeared in front of the Lord of Death. A hand was pressed on His head at some point, suppressing Him completely and sealing Him tightly!

"Now!" He growled at Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang took difficult steps, breaking through layer after layer of the abyss of death, and suddenly arrived in front of the Lord of Death. He stared at his child, his voice extremely low!

"you are the first."

“But it won’t be the last.”

"Blood must be repaid with blood."

The words fell.

A broken sword blade appeared in his palm.

'laugh! ’

The broken blade sank into the head of the Lord of Death, who froze in place, uttered two hoarse sounds, and the abyss of death that enveloped the entire floating island began to slowly dissipate like smoke and dust.
At the same time, the soul of a great man also dissipated.
