Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 106 The Empire’s Past

"Sir, please take a look."

Werner Huangwu held a book in his hand and came to Karen respectfully.

Karen took the book in his hand. The book had obviously been processed with special magical means, and it did not feel like it was thousands of years old.

This is a fairly common application of magic. As long as books are maintained regularly, they can be kept from rotting.

Of course, it was expensive to maintain, and “common” was only for the nobility.

It is said that tens of thousands of ancient books are preserved in the library of the White Tower of Dolf in the "City of Mages" Talara.

However, the White Tower of Dofu has a certain function of stopping time. Books placed in it will decay very slowly, and there may be no need for any book maintenance for thousands of years.

Karen flipped through the book in her hand. The cover of this notebook was very ordinary, with just the words "Notes" written on it. It was signed by Joa Desolate, the first ancestor of the Desolate family.

The surname "Huangwu" should have been changed after he became a captain. This is also normal. Civilians do not have surnames, and slaves do not have them either. Joa Huangwu also got a surname after he became a regular.

Nobles usually use their fiefdoms and things with important symbolic meaning as their surnames. For example, the Duke of Drum in the province of Magrath, his family's surname is Magrath.

As the captain of the Desolation and the first captain of this ship, it is understandable that Joa Desolation uses this surname.

Karen opened the book and saw that the first chapter was written by Joa Desolate. The previous part was filled with random things and some magic learning experiences. He quickly flipped through the pages and came to the key content, which was the eve of the empire's demise.

Joa desolate records his mental journey during the fall of his empire.

News has arrived from the south: the invincible Blood King has been defeated by the rebels. His whereabouts remain unknown, and the entire nation is in shock. I find it unbelievable, even for the Empire's undefeated war god! What's going on with the rebels in the south?!

After just watching the beginning, Karen's expression was a little unbearable. My goodness, the empire's demise started with me, right?

However, Karen could understand this. Before he encountered trouble in the south, although the empire was mired in war, this was normal and was far from a critical moment of life and death.

The powerful empire often fights against its neighbors, and this is not the first time it has fought against many enemies alone. The only surprising thing is that a rebellion suddenly broke out in the south of the empire, but with Karen going to quell the rebellion, no one thought there would be any accidents.

It was probably not until Karen's defeat at the hands of the Lord of the Dawn in the South that the top leaders of the empire truly realized the coming crisis.

It's not anyone else's fault. Karen himself only realized at that time that things were not simple, but he did not anticipate the subsequent developments.

The war situation has deteriorated. The South Bay Fleet has been urgently mobilized and ordered to harass the rebels' rear. The rebels have no navy, and we are making good progress. The Blood King should have waited for us.

After seeing the following content, Karen couldn't hold it anymore. In fact, when he set out, the Empire didn't mobilize the navy at all. Everyone thought that as long as he defeated the rebels directly, it would be fine. It was obvious that he had an accident, so the navy was mobilized.

Karen couldn't argue with a dead man who obviously had only a vague understanding of the matter, so he could only continue reading. What followed was a long section about the South Bay Fleet's harassment operations in the rebel rear waters. It seemed that the progress was indeed smooth.

It wasn't until a dozen days later that the big one came.

【!!! The Imperial Capital Has Fallen!】

The writing was simple, yet it expressed Joa Desolate's shock. The handwriting was sloppy, clearly no longer in the mood for joking. 'That's certainly fast.'
Karen didn't expect that the imperial capital would fall less than half a month after he was seriously injured. This was much faster than he thought.

[God! God! God! The earth suddenly crumbles! A power beyond comprehension! Darkness envelops the world, and the light of dawn shines. Various visions and gods clash! Cataclysm!]

And after the fall of the imperial capital, even more explosive content followed.

God war!

Karen narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, in the end, the gods had to give up. The result of the battle was the death of Lady of the Night, and the empire was divided into three. The Blood Clan Empire was completely at its end.

This was obviously not an ordinary battle between incarnations of gods. Just relying on incarnations to fight could not create such power, and Lady of the Dark Night would not have fallen. It was obvious that the real fire had been ignited, and it was likely that the real bodies would appear in the world to fight.

The incarnation of God is a way for God to appear in the main interface of Torres.

The essence of gods is completely different from that of humans. They have transcended material existence and transformed into a spiritual life form composed of divine power, divine nature, and divinity.

This form is extremely powerful, and even the most powerful mortal legend cannot contend with it. However, this form cannot be maintained in any interface, especially Torres as the main interface.

Even once the divine fire is ignited and one transforms into a god, one will be rejected by the Torres interface and ascend to the outer interface.

And if something happens and the gods want to come back and enter the Torres interface, they need to use the method of incarnation and create a material body.

Although believers and the church are able to handle most things, gods do not need to enter the Torres main interface frequently.

But in fact, there are many gods who like to play around in the human world, so the appearance of gods' incarnations is not surprising.

In a major religious ceremony, if the god of worship can come in person and perform miracles, this will undoubtedly bring the atmosphere to a climax and greatly enhance the cohesion of the believers.

As we all know, performing miracles has always been a good way to develop disciples.

However, this incarnation of the god is obviously not as suppressive as the original body.

If the plan is good, it is not impossible to kill the incarnation of God.

In fact, the incarnation of Lady Light had encountered assassination attempts more than once. The assassins were of course sent by her eternal rival, Lady Night. The two goddesses of creation had been fighting each other, and once one gained the upper hand, the other would naturally suffer a heavy blow.

Karen absolutely didn't believe that the Lady of Light had no hand in the war of gods that represented the end of the empire.

"The gods fought a great battle at Torres. This was a complete breakdown, and the price paid was enormous for all the gods."
Karen felt emotional. He knew quite a bit about this knowledge. After all, he often met the incarnation of Lady of the Night.

If the gods themselves come to the world and start a fight, they will definitely be strongly rejected by the Torres interface. The gods may not be able to influence the Torres world for a long time in the future, and even the priests' prayers may not be responded to, making the priests useless.

But this also makes Sgema's ascension to the god reasonable. Sgema, who was originally just a wage earner, successfully ascended to the godhood in the chaotic post-war era. Even if the gods returned later, the Lord of Dawn could only recognize and accept this subordinate god who seized the opportunity.
