From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 559 Sea of ​​Blood

Wait until Germaine and Angel's quarrel ends.

Gillan stood alone by the office window.

He stared at the night sky, lost in thought.

From the two July Apostles, Gilan learned the truth about Torina's "scapegoating" and found the culprit who caused it.

"Pal, Gabriel..."

Gillan murmured, his face solemn.

The target is two 9th-level apostles, but with his current strength, he is not able to compete with them.

But right now, the situation in our camp is very worrying.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to find help.

There is no need to talk about the "Our Lady of Sorrow". She was ambushed and is currently in a "scapegoat" state, unable to take any action at all. Meanwhile, "Ms. Snow" was seriously injured in the attack and her strength was greatly reduced.

Only the "Crippled King" and the "Flood" Si Chen are holding up the situation, but there are still four Si Chen on the Federation side!
Not to mention that the number of their apostles is far less than that of the enemy, and they have always been at a disadvantage of being suppressed.

The situation is getting worse.

"I'm afraid the higher-ups in the empire won't be able to help me with this matter. I can only rely on myself."

Jilan frowned and thought.

'Although Angel is willing to lend a hand, he can only restrain one of them at most. I have to deal with the remaining one by myself.'

"Is there any way to quickly improve my strength in a short period of time..."

He was lost in thought.

Jilan walked to the single sofa by the window and sat down, holding his chin with one hand and looking deep.

'Although I have a "string of law" in my body and have anchored my residence in the Black Castle, I can use Tolina's status to absorb a large amount of "ripple energy" at close range.'

'But even so, it will take at least two months to accumulate the "ripples" required to reach level 8.'

'Two months is too long. I can't wait...'

'The most crucial point is that I don't even have the knowledge of an 8th-order essence, so it's difficult for "Banlan" to deduce the next essence of "Cheating".'

Gillan felt a heavy pressure that made him a little breathless.

The Federation's back-up plan came suddenly and was extremely vicious and deadly, pushing the empire into a desperate situation.

Time is ticking.

Before I knew it, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Gillan was still sitting on the sofa, thinking about a solution.

Suddenly, his dilated pupils focused again and his expression shook, as if he had thought of something.

"Mysterious points..."

Gillan murmured.

The most special thing about him is the golden finger "Colorful" transformed by the authority of the outer gods.

With the help of "Banlan", he escaped danger time and time again, and made his own strength advance by leaps and bounds.

As long as the mysterious points are sufficient, he can not only travel through the secret history through "Bilan", but also let "Banlan" forcibly deduce the 8th level essence...

If all else fails, you can simply enable "attribute enhancement" to rudely raise your own attribute panel and narrow the gap with the apostles. This is also a solution!
"But the question is, how can I get a huge amount of mystery points?"

Jilan stood up suddenly.

He stood by the window, looking far away, his sight turned from the north to the south...

Suddenly, Jilan's eyes focused.

"Southern...Sea of ​​Blood!"

He suddenly remembered that when the gravedigger team was traveling in the bloody sea, they were unfortunately hit by the Federation's "final explosion". The horrific explosion shock wave pierced through the sea surface, raised huge waves hundreds of meters high, and revealed a corner of the seabed.

The pale corpse of the third-year "God of Love" is buried there, covered with countless "nightmare monuments".

To others, it is a forbidden place where there is no chance of survival, but to Jilan, it may be the key to breaking the impasse!
With Jilan Chenshi's invincible strength, no matter how thick the "nightmare spirit" that permeated the sea of ​​blood was, it could not break through his mental defenses and posed no threat.

However, he can corrupt and devour the "Nightmare Monument", turning it into mysterious points and brands, which serve as nourishment for his rapid growth.

"The number of those 'Nightmare Monuments' is huge. Once I can corrupt and devour them, I can obtain endless mysterious points!"

There was a gleam in Jilan's eyes.

...

...

Early the next morning.

Caesar urgently summoned Gillan again.

The two met in the open-air courtyard of the Sifang Palace.

"The speed of the collapse on the front line is far beyond my expectations. At present, the empire has lost both war zones and is tightening its defenses and continuously retreating into the territory..."

Caesar stood there, his hands behind his back, and spoke in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"Now the generals and senior officers in the military have lost confidence and their morale is very low. Facing an invincible enemy, they are at a loss."

"The one-sided decline is still intensifying. I'm afraid the Imperial Army won't be able to hold out for much longer... In a month at most, the Federation will be at the gates of the city and will march straight to the capital, Musciti."

“Is the situation already so bad?”

Ji Lan frowned.

Caesar shook his head and sighed:
"This is still a conservative estimate. It may not take a month... After all, the collapse of the battle line is like dominoes. Once the accumulated fear explodes, it will spread from one point to another, and in a short period of time, the entire battle will be lost and the war will be completely defeated."

"Of course, if I have to, I will send out the superiors to forcibly increase the intensity of the war... This is also based on the result of your previous attack on the Federation and the elimination of several apostles of the other side. I have gained a glimmer of hope."

Caesar said to Gillan.

"But this is not a long-term solution. At most, it can only delay the situation for a while, but the final defeat cannot be reversed."

"Also, I know about Torina's matter."

As he spoke, Caesar lowered his eyes with a gloomy expression.

He was silent for a while.

There was a barely perceptible flash of pain and self-blame in his eyes, but it was caught by Gillan.

"This matter is my fault."

Caesar said in a deep voice.

"At the beginning, I was eager to achieve success. After I joined forces with Xiadia to suppress the 'Sulphur Lord', I took advantage of the situation and used Omer's body, which was born in response to my wish, as a container for the birth of my daughter... In this way, not only can the principle of 'equivalent exchange' be met, but with its huge four elements and status in the universe, it can pry open the 'enlightenment fire' and bypass the ascension ceremony to directly let Tolina ascend to godhood."

"But I didn't expect that this would also lay the foundation for hidden dangers."

"Not only did Tolina have a congenital illness that made her afraid of cold and dark, but even the 'Law of Darkness' she mastered was deeply affected by the 'Law of Order', so much so that it is now backlashing."

Caesar closed his eyes, expressionless.

He raised his head, the morning light fell on his face, but it seemed extremely dim.

"I'm not a good father, Gillan."

Caesar said with a desolate tone, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"For that dream, I sacrificed everything. My healthy body, my freedom, my desires, my comrades, my lover... Now, I can't even protect my own daughter."

"But the dream is getting farther and farther away."

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Jilan took a deep breath and said:

"You want to reverse the trend of the times and create a peaceful and beautiful world for the world, which is not an easy task."

"That's why you will become the god of resistance and change, and the one and only 'Crippled King'."

"I believe that you will not give up easily until the last moment."

"Ah."

Caesar suddenly laughed.

He looked at Jilan meaningfully and said:
"Wrong. Even at the last moment, even if I am doomed to fail, I will not give up... Because as long as I am alive, no one can make me fail!"

Caesar paced to the center of the courtyard.

Looking at the dark clouds slowly gathering in the sky. "You know, Jilan... my ascension was made possible by the power of the 'Spark of Enlightenment', the legacy of the 'God of Love'."

"I am different from 'Blind General' and others who ascended to godhood through their own efforts. I took a shortcut... and for this, I paid the price."

"My left eye was given to 'Noon Dawn' to thank him for his 'Path of the Fire Sword'. My right arm was returned to 'Gladiator' to repay the reward for borrowing the law. My internal organs were taken away by 'Blind General'. This is the punishment I deserve."

"My body is broken, but my will is intact."

Caesar turned and looked at Gillan.

His expression was complicated and his tone was low:
"I can still hold on with my remaining body until I die, but Tolina..."

"Lord Caesar, leave it to me."

Gillan took off his hat, touched his chest and bowed.

"I promised Miss Torina that I would help him get rid of his pain completely... and I will personally kill the two apostles Pal and Gabriel who are the culprits of this incident."

"..."

Caesar's eyes narrowed.

He was moved by Gillan's resolute tone.

"What are you going to do?"

Caesar said in a deep voice.

"I can't help you for now, you have to rely on yourself for everything..."

"I know." Gillan said softly.

He slowly raised his head and looked into Caesar's eyes.

"Please give me ten days."

"Ten days..."

Caesar was stunned.

What can be done in ten days?
Gilan Ilos had just ascended to the 7th level. Could it be possible that in ten days he would be able to completely transform himself and possess the strength to compete with a 9th-level apostle?

Caesar didn't know.

"I will set off immediately to the southern blood sea."

Jilan said solemnly.

"Return in ten days and start hunting down Pal and Gabriel... If we can kill them, Miss Torina's situation will be reversed, and the Federation Army's immortality will also be lifted. This is the only way to break the impasse."

"Gilan, how sure are you?"

Caesar asked.

Gillan shook his head.

"Not sure."

"Ha." Caesar laughed. "You dare to bet your life and be buried with the empire even if you are not sure?"

"If you make a promise, you must fulfill it. If you owe a debt, you must repay it."

Gillan also laughed and said softly.

"This is the creed a man should have."

Caesar looked at him deeply, and his expression gradually became solemn and serious.

"I wasn't wrong about you... neither were Pala and Torina."

He nodded and said:

"You go ahead. Ten days is too short. I will buy you a month. By then, even if the empire is destroyed and the land of God is in turmoil, my remaining body will still wait for your return."

Hearing this, Jilan said nothing more, but bowed deeply.

Immediately, there was a whoosh sound.

His figure disappeared instantly.

Caesar stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the place where Gilan disappeared, and murmured:
“I hope you can create another miracle.”

...

...

The southern border of the empire.

The ancient "Abu Barika Desert" was located here. Later, a pale meteor fell and broke the continental plates, forming the "Deciduous Mediterranean".

It is now known as the "Inland Sea of ​​Blood".

A figure suddenly appeared above the sea of ​​blood.

Jilan was suspended in the air, overlooking the endless scarlet ocean below, and took a deep breath.

He opened his spiritual vision and saw that the sea was filled with an extremely thick "nightmare spirit".

Turning his head, he saw a black volcano standing in the distance on the sea level... That was where the teacher Para had sealed it in the past, and it was also the remains of the "God of Love", the back of the pale giant whale.

The purpose of Para Celsus's alchemical seal is to block the jets of the pale whale and prevent the endless miasma from filling the world.

whoosh-

Jilan mobilized his own strength and teleported again, crossing more than ten miles and landing on the edge of the volcano.

Instead of landing, he chose to dive into the sea. Because the "Nightmare Monuments" growing like barnacles on the pale whale were all under the sea.

thump!
Gilan pierced into the sea like a black spear.

With a muffled sound, he had already dived into the seabed.

With his strong physique, Jilan doesn't even need to breathe, as he can convert oxygen in seawater through his skin.

He used his spiritual vision as his eyes to sense the dark and cold seabed and swam towards the bottom of the volcano.

As he gradually approached the "volcano", Gilan intuitively felt how big the corpse of the pale giant whale was...

This is a huge monster buried deep in a sea of ​​blood.

His body is at least hundreds of miles long, and the part that is above the sea is just the tip of the iceberg.

"As expected, this is the body of the third-year "Love Goddess" Alice manifested in the material world..."

Gillan's heart trembled.

As he got closer, invisible mysterious magnetic fields radiated from the giant creature and swept across his body.

The intensity of this magnetic field is so terrifying that it can even affect matter and drive undercurrents on the seabed... Gilan speculated that even a 6th-level Jiushi would not be able to stay in this magnetic field for a long time, otherwise it would leave irreversible and permanent sequelae.

In the perception of spiritual vision, the sea area in front of Jilan seemed to be blocked by a "black wall" that cut off the ocean. The edge of this "black wall" was invisible, and square stone tablets of various sizes were inserted across its surface.

The number of these stone tablets, at just a glance, is no less than 100,000.

"Hundreds of thousands, even millions of Kyushu..."

Jilan was shocked.

He found it incredible again.

Let’s not talk about whether there is such a number of people in human history from ancient times to the present. Even if there is, why would they die together and in the arms of the "God of Love"?
Jilan swam like a sea fish, and in an instant he rushed hundreds of meters and came to the "black wall".

He used his spiritual vision to carefully examine the group of "Nightmare Monuments", but the result surprised him.

The words engraved on these "nightmare monuments" were not the names and life stories of the deceased as Jilan remembered, but patterns of various species.

There are dragons, apes, snakes, lions, tigers, lizards, fish and shrimps from ancient times, and even some strange plants.

'These are the "nightmare monuments" of the species?!'

Ji Lan was startled.

'But why do they leave behind "nightmare monuments" after death like the long-lived ones?'

He raised his hand and colorful light emanated from between his fingers.

When it touched a "nightmare monument" engraved with toothed fern leaves, it was immediately corrupted by Jilan and turned into stone chips that sank to the bottom of the sea.

A mysterious number "200" immediately appeared on Jilan's panel, along with a strange leaf-shaped mark.

There are some more memories in his mind...
