Re-live your life and start speedrunning

At the end, Renata seemed to take a deep breath and continued: "To be honest, I haven't felt this feeling of being alive for a long time..."

“From the tone of your voice, it seems that your previous behavior was not intentional?” Li Re raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm...did I let something slip again?"

Renata paused and raised her red lips: "Well, there's nothing bad to say."

"I said before, I have killed an angel - and there is a price to pay for killing an angel."

"Besides having to enter the primeval forest in the southern part of the Ariel Continent and leave the world, this is actually one of the costs I have to pay."

"I was cursed by the 'Angel'——"

"No longer accepted by life and death, no longer contained by 'Love', and no longer permitted by the Kingdom and Justice, I will have to walk in the abyss, unable to reproduce like a normal creature."

Life, Death, Love, Kingdom, Justice, Abyss, Reproduction.

"You have been cursed by the seven next-generation angels!" Li Re also said with understanding: "No wonder you have to stay away from the world!"

After all, even if we exclude the 'Angel of Wisdom' who rarely pays attention to the world, the remaining seven second-generation angels, to a certain extent, are enough to represent everything in the world!

"Why not?"

Renata herself didn't care at all. Perhaps it was because of the long years that she could deal with many past events calmly, so she didn't care about winning or losing, nor did she care about many things in the world. She just said, "But to some extent, it can be considered a blessing in disguise for me."

"Although I also mastered the 'domain' back then, as a 'living person', I couldn't take the domain into my body - let alone merge with the 'domain'."

"When I killed the angel that time, it took me a lot of effort to bring one of the saints of that generation who possessed the art of divine descent into my 'Iron Domain'."

"If it were now..."

"Hey hey hey!"

This beautiful, silver-haired, heroic woman let out a laugh that sounded lewd.

"If it were now, you would be surrounded by two angels." Li Re said calmly, but complacently, "Just like me."

"Ok."

Renata came back to her senses and shrugged, causing her chest to shake and the iron sword on her back to tilt a little: "My strength is indeed far inferior to yours - 'Spirit King' Li Re."

"You are worthy of being the only one who dared to break the 'Abraham Covenant' in the past thousand years!"

"You can destroy the Duchy of Kent if you want. There's nothing to say if you're not as skilled as us!" The 'Iron King' just spread his hands and threatened to destroy it.

"But I guess you are not here for the 'Principality of Kent'?" Li Re suddenly said.

He mercilessly exposed the real purpose of the person in front of him: "You want to tell me about the situation in the primeval forest. Right?"

"what?!"

Renata was stunned: "I haven't said anything yet."

"Then don't say anything yet. Let me guess." Li Re pointed at the map in Alisa's hand behind him and said, "You have been saying that you have killed an 'angel' before, which proves that you also disdain the Covenant of Abraham itself. You can't come to fight me for the order of the world. You can choose to surrender so easily, which means that you don't have the self-esteem and pride of ordinary magic nobles - so it is unlikely that you really came here for the people of the Kent family."

"Apart from all the above, the only thing left is the primeval forest where you have been for the past three hundred years. And you took out the map you have been drawing for three hundred years from the very beginning."

"Your purpose has been clear from the beginning, isn't it?"

"Ah? You've thought so much...Necromancers are really sensitive to the point of being abnormal!" Renata couldn't help scratching her hair after hearing what Li Re said.

She exhaled and had to admit, "Okay."

"Your guess is correct."

"I really don't care about the bullshit Abraham Covenant or leaving the world for three hundred years. I don't even know who the Kent family is now, let alone risk my life for them."

"Actually, I came here just for you!"

"Are you coming for me?" Li Re raised his eyebrows again.

"Yes, I want to see if you are strong enough for me to take care of the situation in the primeval forest—" Renata said frankly.

"What if I can't?"

"If you can't, I will kill you." Renata said more calmly: "Because if you are not strong enough, then continuing will only make the world worse."

"I didn't hold back at all in my previous attack!"

"Not bad." Li Re couldn't help but nodded when he heard that.

"It's really okay..." Renata agreed. She thought to herself that it was okay. Fortunately, the strength of this 'Spiritual King' Li Re was enough...

Li Re suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, I held back."

"I didn't kill you when you started to make a move, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to know what you entrusted to me!" He looked relieved.

Renata: "..."

Arisa, who was standing behind Li Re, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this.

The only person in this world who can make a 'king' who has lived for hundreds of years show such an expression...Isn't it probably Li Re?

"You...if I could beat you, I would really want to kill you!" After a moment of silence, Renata couldn't help but mutter, and then she said seriously: "In short, your strength is superior to mine, and I will say what I need to say."

"Do you know Eternal Night?" She continued without waiting for Li Re to react.

"I think you should know...you have enslaved so many angels' projections."

"You should also know that the eternal night has actually begun now."

Li Re did know these things.

More than knowing.

And it's clear.

The "eternal night" that comes every thousand years on the Ariel Continent,

'Destruction' and 'creation' occur every thousand years.

He really knows everything——

"But do you know that the Eternal Night begins further south of the Ariel Continent, at the end of this world's ocean?"

Renata's words made Li Re couldn't help but blink his eyes.

This...he really doesn't know!

"Hehe, finally there's something you can't guess!" Renata couldn't help but feel proud when she saw this.

"I'm not a 'god', how can I know so much?" Li Re didn't care: "If I knew, I would have killed you just now!"

Renata choked again and couldn't feel proud anymore.

She snorted and continued, "It was because I accidentally learned about the existence of Eternal Night from a saint at the highest level of the church that I gradually embarked on the path of 'rebellion' -"

"The cause of the matter also has to start with my father, the founder of the Principality of Kent, the great adventurer 'Kent'."

"Unlike the founders of many countries on the Ariel Continent today, my father did not like fighting or power. He just liked exploring the world. He had traveled all over the Ariel Continent before I was born. After I was born, he turned his attention to overseas, where few people had ever visited. The reason he founded a country was just to have a suitable 'shipbuilding site' that could support his long voyages."

"And in the entire Ariel Continent, there is no place more suitable than the current Principality of Kent. Although Atlan in the north is also close to the sea, it is covered by ice and snow. There are also cliffs tens of thousands of feet high in the east that isolate the sea. Not to mention the 'primitive forest' in the south. Although the Ariel Continent in the creation myth floats on the 'primitive sea', the only place in the world that can go out to sea is the west."

"After the founding of the country, my father was excited every day and looked forward to every experience of going out to sea."

"However, when I was seven years old, he died suddenly during a long sea voyage, and all he brought back was a corpse."

"——But at that time, he was already a 'king' who could create a powerful principality on his own and last for generations. How could such a person suddenly die?"

"I was suspicious and traced the cause of my father's death. I found the church at that time. I heard the discussion of the 'saints'. They said that my father had crossed the line and touched the 'eternal night' that had not yet ended. My father died in the eternal night!"

"When I was seven, I secretly memorized the word 'Eternal Night'. At that time, I didn't have the strength to track it down... So I started to work hard. It wasn't until I was seventeen, when I entered the legendary realm and became a legendary knight, that I officially started to track down this word."

"So, you have been an enemy of the Church since you were seventeen?" Li Re knew that the Eternal Night was a secret known only to the church's top brass and could never be announced to the public. He smacked his lips and said, "You were one year later than me."

"I don't want to compete with you! And the focus is on the Eternal Night!" Renata rolled her eyes as she recalled the past. No matter how open-minded a person is, they can't stand being "stepped on" again and again.

Of course, Li Re couldn't fail to understand: "What you mean is that the eternal night has always existed, but it will end at a certain time period?"

"That's it!"

Renata was speechless and said, "And actually I didn't want to be an enemy of the church at the beginning. It's just that when I broke into the church and asked the saint who knew about 'Eternal Night' in person in the name of the princess of the principality, the response I got was-"

"'Those who know the eternal night shall be killed.'"

"So I escaped from the church and even from the Principality of Kent. I built my own forces, and I fled and explored along the way. Finally, I led the 'Saint' who originally issued the killing order into the 'Iron Realm' that I accidentally found and controlled."

"But I didn't kill him directly. Instead, I let him perform the 'divine descent technique'..."

"You should be able to guess what happens next."

"You killed the 'Angel', were cursed by seven angels, learned the secret of eternal night, but had to leave the world and enter the primeval forest?" Li Re said.

"Yes."

Renata exhaled, "Thinking about it carefully, I really lost a lot - in fact, at the end, I still don't know what the Eternal Night is. The angel only has the time and consequences of the 'Eternal Night' in his mind, but no process. I only know that the Eternal Night will always exist, but it will end at a certain time, and the world will be plunged into the night of Eternal Night. Everything will be destroyed, but I don't know what will bring about the destruction."

“But entering the primeval forest was a blessing in disguise for me!”

"Of course I'm not referring to my fusion of the 'Iron Realm'."

"Instead - I saw the outline of 'Eternal Night' in the southernmost part of the primeval forest, which is also the southernmost part of the Ariel Continent!"

The silhouette of eternal night...

Li Re suddenly thought of the real 'Zhang Ju'.

The hometown of 'Zhang Ju' seemed to be destroyed in the eternal night!

Calculate according to time.

Around this time——

"It seems that eternal night is not a state that is achieved suddenly, but a slow process." He understood.

"That's what I said before."

Renata said: "It's just that, although I did see 'Eternal Night', I can't get over it."

"At the end of the primeval forest, there is a 'mountain'. It is said that if you climb over it, you can reach the end of the world. However, even I cannot climb over that mountain."

"It is said that a 'god' is buried on that mountain!"

The mountain where the gods are buried...

"interesting."

Li Re subconsciously glanced sideways at Arisa behind him - Arisa, who was holding the map, also looked very solemn.

After hearing so many secrets, she couldn't help but feel solemn, nervous and excited!

"It seems that I need to take a trip to the primeval forest!" said Li Re.

This is Renata’s purpose!

She needs someone stronger than herself to get over that mountain.

Go witness the real eternal night!

Li Re's purpose coincides with this.

No matter what, 'Eternal Night' is a major secret in this world that cannot be avoided - and it is also an important proof for Li Re to verify his guess!

of course.

That would have to wait until Li Re conquered all the countries and reunited with Qu Shenyin in the "Sky City".

Just right——

The sky city is very close to the primeval forest!

“Then again, after doing so many things, you were still crowned king…” Li Re turned his gaze back to the present: “You have a powerful background!”

"It's not because I have a strong background, but because the guy from 'Sky Castle' had a strong background at that time."

Castle in the Sky...

Li Re understood instantly.

"'King of Heaven'?"

That was the third person to be crowned king in the mortal world.

He is also the lord of the Sky City.

He is the pinnacle of all magicians in the world.

But it's not just one person, but a "lineage".
