Chapter 280, Section 277: [The Abyss of Desire]

...

[Identities: 'Divine Servant Lv1', Spirit Awakener, 'Lord of Desire', 'Ankai of the Divine Realm'.]

……

……

The identity of "Lord of Desire" has replaced the identity of "Abyss of Wealth: Grand Lord".

This is also a testament to Ankai's strength.

However, he didn't like that title.

The name "Lord of Desire" sounds like a villain.

Furthermore, in his previous life, he had never heard of the title "Lord of Desire".

Therefore, it is evident that the "Lord of Desire" might be a minor figure.

Think about it.

If Ankai hadn't intervened, the future Lord of Desire would most likely have been the Great Lord of the Gold-Devouring Bone Man.

Based on his strength alone, what else could he be but a nobody?

In that era when gods were the main force, the strength of the [Gold-Swallowing Bone Man] was probably not even as good as that of a small fry.

Previously, this was because he had not accepted the inheritance of the [Abyss of Wealth] Grand Lord.

As a result, Ankai is now essentially a name without substance.

Although he is the Lord of Desire, he did not inherit the Grand Lord Token of the Abyss of Desire.

The gold coin tokens that were once valuable have undergone a complete transformation in Ankai's hands.

It is designed as a shield and a longsword.

[Token of the Lord of Desire]

[Bound Person: Ankai (Progress 10%)]

[Description: This token symbolizes the Great Lord of the 'Abyss of Desire.' Once fully bound, it will have additional effects!]

The [Token of the Lord of Desire] in Ankai's hand is currently equivalent to an "unidentified" quality piece of equipment.

Once he is bound, the "Lord of Desire" token will reveal his true appearance.

After playing with it for a while, I intended to store it in the mage tower.

To everyone's surprise, the mage tower was unable to hold the [Lord of Desire Token], which was not fully bound.

Ankai then tried to put it into his storage ring.

The result is the same.

Unable to store the [Lord of Desire Token] inside.

After a brief moment of thought.

An Kai took out a necklace made from the sinews and bones of a demonic beast at the Nirvana realm.

Then he strung the "shield and sword" in his hand onto it.

Wear it around your neck, tucked under your neck.

Ankai believes it's best to keep important tokens close to your body.

The research concluded, and he emerged from the secluded hall where the "Gold-Swallowing Bone Man" had once secluded himself.

The current Abyss of Desire is a fusion of the Abyss of Barrenness and the Abyss of Wealth, which Ankai has ravaged into desolation.

However, it has already escaped the desolation.

The scene of abundance has returned.

A rich energy flowed through every part of the [Abyss of Desire].

Although the energy concentration of the [Abyss of Desire] is not as high as that of the God Realm because it has just appeared, Ankai thinks that it will not be long before it reaches the level of the God Realm, judging from the current rate of development.

More than that.

With the appearance of the Abyss of Desire, Ankai's power has increased once again.

Originally, he could only appoint or dismiss 18 lords of the [Abyss of Wealth].

Currently, he can appoint and dismiss a total of 36 lords within the Abyss of Desire!

The same rights as those of the Barren Abyss were also bestowed upon Ankai.

After a brief moment of thought, Ankai finalized the appointment of the new lord of the [Abyss of Desire].

The original 18 lords of the [Abyss of Wealth] remain unchanged.

Later, creatures that had once followed Ankai, such as Malken, Milton, Polpi, Reed, Jinlong, and Gou Dan, were added.

This time, Ankai also made an unprecedented move by selecting the twenty-eighth orc prince, Gulaier, who had impersonated him multiple times and yet survived, as the lord of the [Abyss of Desire].

There's also Andon, a leading figure in the Good House Forging Association, an early detector merchant in Chaos City, and the fat man chosen as the lord of the [Abyss of Desire].

An Kai's appointments and removals this time were completely unfair, and were based on nothing but "behind-the-scenes manipulation".

His mounts, pets, scapegoat henchmen, and henchmen all transformed into lords of the [Abyss of Desire].

In other words, there is no second voice in the "Abyss of Desire".

Otherwise, An Kai's "favoritism and corruption" would have drawn countless criticisms...

...

"Look at our great lord! Even his dog has become our lord in the [Abyss of Desire]!"

"Don't even mention his pet dog; his mount has become the lord of our [Abyss of Desire]!"

...

What does it mean when one person attains enlightenment and even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven?

Perhaps Ankai's current state can be considered as a person attaining enlightenment.

This time, he appointed and dismissed so many of the beings who had followed him in the early days, making them lords of the [Abyss of Desire].

This is precisely an expression of Ankai's "humanity".

—Nostalgia.

...

Ten days later.

Ankai is preparing to lead his men back to the realm of the gods.

[Abyss of Desire] It can develop independently even without him as its great lord.

It took Ankai 10 days to figure out how the [Abyss of Desire] worked.

They also understood why the Abyss and the God Realm were constantly at war.

Logically speaking, the two worlds shouldn't have much interaction...

The Abyss of Desire appeared the moment it appeared.

His name has already resounded in the hearts of gods, insects, and creatures of the abyss.

In the name of the Lord of Desire, I invite all beings to join the Abyss of Desire.

Build a better future in the "Abyss of Desire".

Some beings even heard the seductive words of the Abyss of Desire, claiming that we are currently in the early stages of its development.

Join the Abyss of Desire, and you will reap rich rewards as the Abyss of Desire develops in the future.

In the words of the "Lord of Desire," what is this called "initial public offering (IPO) investment?"

And all this.

Ankai was unaware of this.

He was unaware that [Abyss of Desire] was using his name to swindle and deceive the outside world.

Even if An Kai knew, there was nothing he could do.

"Bewitching" living beings into depravity and leading them into the "Abyss of Desire" is itself a rule governing the operation of the "Abyss of Desire".

This is an operating rule that Ankai cannot currently control.

According to the rules of the Abyss of Desire, it doesn't end with just seduction.

Instead, the moment the seed of "bewitchment" is planted in the heart of a living being, a channel for guidance will be sent to that being.

The other party can directly enter the [Abyss of Desire] through the access channel.

Thus, they succumb to their insatiable desires, gradually sinking into the abyss of desire, becoming its puppets.

This is the true operating rule of the "Abyss of Desire".

This is also the real reason why the [Divine Realm] and the [Abyss] are enemies!

This is because thousands of years ago, all the Abysses operated in the same way as the Abyss of Desire!

Unrestricted deployment of "guidance" channels to non-Abyssal beings.

This caused great harm to both the divine realm and the insect realm!

Once a being falls into the Abyss, then no matter what your relationship was before...

The next time we meet, there will only be one relationship: enemies!

Even if you were once family, lovers, close friends, teachers and students, it won't help.

For living beings, sinking into the abyss is a "rebirth".

A "rebirth" that involves giving up oneself.

In all his sight, there were no relatives, lovers, close friends, teachers, or students!

For the sake of the Abyss, they would not hesitate to kill without hesitation.

Brothers turning against each other, relatives betraying each other, betraying one's master and ancestors...

These are all effects brought about by the beings who have fallen into the Abyss.

This also had an impact on the beings of the former divine and insect realms.

As for the native creatures of the Abyss, they mostly play the roles of "commanders" and "monitors."

Thousands of years ago.

Before becoming the "18th Abyss", the battles between them and the "God Realm" and the "Insect Realm" were mostly fought using the native creatures of the "God Realm" and the "Insect Realm".

If one's mind is not firm, and one is seduced by the Abyss, one will become an enemy who attacks one's own "home".

This is the real reason why the "God Realm" and the "Abyss" have a life-and-death feud.

If the Abyss remains at "18th floor".

Why would the divine realm engage in such a thankless and arduous task as attacking the abyss?

Even if the beings of the Abyss are active in the God Realm, the God Realm doesn't care.

But the moment the [Abyss of Desire] appeared.

The peaceful situation between the Divine Realm and the Abyss has been shattered.

The two forces have once again become mortal enemies.

Perhaps knowing that the [Divine Realm] did not welcome him, the passage to the [Abyss of Desire] did not appear in the nameless town of the [Divine Realm].

As a result, Ankai could only return through the channel connecting him to the Divine Court.

Unable to retrace their steps, they returned disguised.

but…

Ankai was unable to retrace his steps.

However, the passage between his [Divine Court] and the original [Abyss of Wealth], now the [Abyss of Desire], was left by Ankai at the location of the [Chaos Sea: Nameless Town]...

Hidden among numerous insect world passages.

They played a trick of hiding the truth from the light.

night.

Ankai left behind the [Gold-Swallowing Bone People] tribe.

He led the Great Lord of the [Gold-Swallowing Bone People], along with 18 former lords of the [Barren Abyss], and some members of the Good House Mage Association, on their journey back to the [Divine Realm].

This time, Ankai has many things to do.

First, collect [Boundary Cores] to quickly upgrade your spell level.

Secondly, they wanted to find out the progress of the five major forces in the fourth level of the Divine Court.

Third, they searched for the beings that appeared in the eleventh layer of the abyss in the divine realm.

He learned from the side quests that the creatures of the eleventh level of the abyss were incredibly fierce.

One force is suppressing the five major forces of the [God Realm], causing them considerable trouble.

In addition, Ankai had one last objective.

That is to find out whether the beings outside the Abyss of Desire know that the Abyss of Desire is a fusion of the Abyss of Barrenness and the Abyss of Wealth.

After all, the Abyss of Desire has only been around for a little over ten days, yet it has already become a "great terror" in the hearts of beings in the divine and insect realms.

Incidentally, this "Lord of Desire" can see other living beings cursing and hurling insults at him every day in the "side quests".

Some powerful figures are even discussing a plan to "behead" the Lord of Desire.

In their minds, it seemed as if the death of the Lord of Desire would cause the Abyss of Desire to disappear...

Ankai was very troubled by this.

Although he is the Lord of Desire, he receives attribute bonuses whenever a living being falls into the Abyss of Desire.

But what does it matter to him if those damned creatures fall into ruin?!

Isn't it because those beings lacked a firm will?!

Isn't this a completely undeserved disaster?!
