The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 316: Meeting the Supreme at the End of the Road (8K words, monthly ticket requested)

In the extremely deep darkness, a hint of paleness slowly ripples.

Under the illumination of chaotic colors, four figures gradually emerged around the long bronze table, which seemed to have collapsed and then reassembled, and was full of obvious cracks.

A plump and round figure sat on a golden chair, producing oily green bubbles one after another and swallowing them into his mouth;
A figure stood upright, wearing a blood crown and wrapped in flames. As the nameless flame burned, a terrifying scream came from inside the armor.

There is also a human figure appearing and disappearing in the prison of the relief scroll, rising and falling, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, spreading joy, groans, and unbridled groans and screams of pain.

The three figures sat on chairs that symbolized their directions, and at the same time looked at the fourth figure with a hint of sarcasm.

The figure was tall and slender, flowing in the dark door, looming, as if it was there and not there.

Under the eerie and silent gaze, the dark door suddenly opened, and a pair of slender and sharp eyes opened.

It was emotionless yet full of anger, making chaotic tongue-clicking sounds and casting a suspicious and angry gaze towards the top of the long bronze table.

Then, the other three figures stopped laughing at it and, united against a common enemy, showed emotions of charm, anger, or greed, which spread forward.

Sitting at the head of the long bronze table was a ball of thick fog wrapped in pure darkness, which seemed not to belong here and was out of tune with the other three figures.

This darkness, even under the cover of chaotic colors, cannot fully reveal its true appearance.

pat, pat.

In the darkness, something swelled up like poisonous snakes, like flowing mucus, wrapping something and slowly falling onto the table, landing in front of the four figures.

It was an ordinary golden book.

The book opened automatically from back to front without any wind. On a certain page in the middle, the words were still extending, as if an invisible pen was writing in the void, and then flashed past quickly to the very beginning of the page.

At the top of the lines that seemed to be correcting, rewriting, reorganizing, and arranging themselves were two words that were extremely correct: "Diary". They seemed to be telling the four figures the meaning of the following words, which kept appearing:

"… September 9th, praise the great counselor of disaster, the lord of deceit, King Solomon! The broken wheels have rolled in, and we have successfully landed in the D15B8 area of ​​mankind."

"Under the leadership of Lord Agares, we were the first to arrive at our destination and have established preliminary contact with the believers in the city."

"They are called the Eagle Bear Society and the Human Snake Team. They are very strange names. Humans are really bad at naming. They are not like us."

"But we can't show our unhappiness yet. This is the western part of the wasteland, and it's extremely desolate. The blood food must be provided by them, otherwise, we won't be able to maintain our intact state."

"Lord Agares said that we should master the local language as quickly as possible."

"It's very simple to me, no one understands human beings better than me."

……

"September 9th. I finally met with Aphrodite. We had a friendly exchange and held a contract ceremony for the next plan. Lord Agares was very happy and hosted a banquet for everyone."

"She is worthy of the title of the Goddess of Beauty. She is beautiful, well-spoken, and has a beautiful appearance. The nectar from the jade bottle spit out by the Buddha statue on her back is also delicious. Just breathing the same air with her makes me feel very happy."

"Compared to Him, those insatiable bitches in the lower prison are like squirming rotten meat. They disgust me."

"It's a pity that the blood food tonight is a bit smelly. Three out of the five are not virgins. Ugh, what disgusting humans."

"But Margitel ate very happily. There was nothing we could do about it. After all, he was the last one born among us. As a fetus still in swaddling clothes, he had no choice, haha."

"The human body is a bit fragile. We have replaced him with three mothers, and it seems that we need to continue to replace him."

"I have to hold on tight too. My body is too fragile right now."

……

"On October 10, another group from the Salvation Army contacted us. They were flying a black flag and were called the Black Emperor Army."

"To show their sincerity, these humans took Magitel away, saying that they would be responsible for Magitel's birth."

"It's a good idea. I have no objection. After all, I'm just a recorder."

"I discovered a characteristic. The inner lining of these humans of the Black Emperor Army is actually completely white. They are two-faced."

"When will Lady Aphrodite come again..."

……

"October 10th. We have initially located the coordinates of the evil spirit. You are truly worthy of being Lord Agares!"

"This place was occupied by a group of humans and used as a shelter. It was once a prison."

"There aren't many of them. I think we can just clear them all out, but Lord Agares told us not to make a big fuss and blend in."

"He said it too late. It's too late. I'm so hungry. Is it okay to eat a human child?"

"At least, she's still a virgin. She tastes really good, sweet and delicious."

"I had no choice but to eat her dad and mom as well. This kid has a lot of children's books, and I can use them to practice my calligraphy. What should I write? I'll just write "I love my dad, I love my mom". My handwriting is pretty good, hahahaha!"

"The moon is very round today. I heard that humans value reunion. I made it happen for them. I am truly a kind chosen one by God."

……

"October 10th. The plan is going quite smoothly. The Howling Deep has been dug to a depth of 28 meters."

"It turns out that Lady Aphrodite came once, but I was not there. Damn Nicholas, why did you ask me to go out hunting today?"

……

"On October 10, a group of scattered troops from my father came to me. They also wanted to join and offered me good benefits, but Lord Agares refused."

"I can't give back what I've gained, right? So I told them not to leave and let them build their nest next to the well. Haha, they didn't know it was a dead end."

"I'm really looking forward to my next meeting with Lady Aphrodite."

……

"On November 11, there was a small problem."

"A little princess of black widow noble descent broke in. She took over our prison and used it as a spider nest. She also imprisoned us with other humans and ate two people every day."

"Lord Agares thought this was a good cover, so he didn't kill her, but played along with the show."

"This black widow has to mate and eat with at least three human males every day. Damn it, she killed the few human women I reserved. Damn it! I wish I could eat her alive, but unfortunately, military orders are as strong as mountains, so I endured it."

……

"November 11."

"This little princess is very pretty, and she has a strong allure. I feel like she is not an ordinary aristocrat."

……

"On November 11, the Howling Well has been completely connected. We just need to wait for Lady Aphrodite to arrive tomorrow. After joining forces with Lady Agares, we can officially extract the holy relic."

"The clarion call for counterattack has been sounded. This time, I will be the pioneer and witness and record everything!"

"Oh, but why am I locked up in Room 208? Today the little princess only mates in Room 207, will it be my turn tomorrow?"

"I'm really looking forward to it. It would be great if I could have some fun before leaving, ahhhh."

……

"why why why?"

"What on earth happened? What did the Howling Wells collapse? What did the sacred object disappear? What on earth is going on?"

"Lord Agares seems to have also fallen into madness. No, he is completely crazy! Nicholas is crazy too! O'Neill is crazy too! They are all crazy, hahahahaha!"

"Today is November 11th. The darkest day."

"With my ability, I can no longer understand all this. The only thing I can do is record it. Yes, this is my job, record it, record everything!"

"This must be related to the princess of the Black Widow nobility. She is not as ignorant as she appears to be. It must be her. It must be her. She has been eyeing us for a long time!"

"Actually, I still have a chance. If Lady Aphrodite comes, she can still save me!"

"She finally came to take my essence today. I can only cooperate with her performance. I pretended to be dead. As long as she doesn't find out, I can live."

"Black Widow didn't notice my problem, she went to Room 209, but it doesn't matter, Lady Aphrodite is here!"

"..."

"Lady Aphrodite is crazy! She's crazy! It was the Black Widow who did it, it was the Black Widow who did it!"

"She brought back something..."

"What did she bring back?"

"She brought something back!"

……

……

There were large blank areas and bloody stains on the pages.

In the dark secret room, on both sides of the long bronze table, countless pairs of eyes were staring at everything displayed on the scroll.

The diary ends here. The chosen one who served as the recorder should have died.

The narrow eyes in the dark door were still filled with anger, but this anger was mixed with a hint of doubt, and a muddy, sharp but clear voice was emitted.

“That’s not all.”

"I want to know why!"

Amid the commotion behind the dark door, a drop of extremely pure blood flowed out, flowed onto the top of the long bronze table, and was completely swallowed up.

Wow!

At the top of the long bronze table, the dark fog continued to stir, and then spit out a large pool of thick black blood, which fell onto the scroll.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
All the black blood was swallowed by the book.

The pages of the book began to turn, and after turning dozens of pages that were completely covered in blood and blurred, it came to a relatively clear place.

The word "Diary" disappeared, and the tone became relatively neat and official:
"On November 11, for some unknown reason, Agares' mission failed and he paid the price with his death."

"For the same reason, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite also encountered some kind of horrific attack. She was lucky enough not to die completely, but the other half she plundered, the being from Lingshan, turned against her. They merged into one, and their forms changed drastically. They hid their tracks and disappeared without a trace."

"This is the end of the diary of Trist, the record officer of the Second Solomon Army."

"The Second Army was no longer trusted by King Tzeentch of Solomon, but the short-term failure did not make him give up. He re-selected candidates and sent his capable general, Paimon of the Ninth Army, to continue this mission."

"After learning from the bloody lessons of his colleagues' failure, Paimon chose another relatively tortuous path - he chose to use the incarnation method and descended into the fragments of cosmic light in the D8B3 safe zone."

"Serges Paimon and Edric Paimon, the two incarnations of Paimon, each began their own rather tortuous journey to divine descent."

"Selkis found the Human Heroic Association left by Agares, contacted the Cao Gang, and successfully found a fragment of the Cosmic Light. He then selected a girl from the family of his followers who looked like a dissolute woman but was actually a virgin, and continued to hold the sacrificial ceremony to prepare for the arrival of Paimon's true body."

"And Edric went one step further. He possessed a stronger affinity with the gods and successfully found a fragment of cosmic light that had a certain connection with the terrifying existence that caused Agares's defeat. It was located in the ancestral land of the Gu family, one of the three heads of the Hunter Association in the safe zone."

"Through his parasitic ability, he successfully replaced Gu Jingyun, a member of the Gu family who was stranded outside, and began to approach the fragment of the universe light step by step."

"During the Paimon Corps' historic breakthrough, the special forces of the Solomon Second Army were not completely wiped out in a corner that no one cared about."

"The chosen one named Magitel managed to escape the disaster by chance, and on November 11, he successfully landed in the eastern wasteland of D27B8 area."

"Magitel learned through the divine space that the mission had failed, but was unwilling to give up. Instead, he decided to use his own means to do his part for the coming of Tzeentch, the King of Solomon, in order to restore the Second Army's position in front of the great being."

"This was actually Agares's backup plan. It was a copy of the Buddha's root 'Body Worry' provided by Aphrodite, which was used as a bribe to form an alliance. This important task was handed over to Magitel silently, and no one knew about it. It was quite secretive."

"The target they want to bribe is Arthas, the former pale god of death, who holds the title of 'Infinite King'!"

"Arthas possesses a very special ability. If he can help Agares, he will die with honor and even have a chance to be reborn from the chaos of the abyss."

"Magitel held a sacrifice through the Infinite King Sect that passed by here, and successfully contacted the Death God Arthas who had been reluctant to express his position. He used the Buddha's root 'body worry' to convince him to cooperate with him."

“It’s been going pretty smoothly so far.”

"But what Maggietel didn't expect was that Arthas was actually a real villain! He pretended to be an ally, but in fact he didn't fulfill the contract. Instead, he reneged on the spot and took away 'Shen Benyou' when Maggietel was not prepared, and fled the scene."

"Magitel was born not long ago, and he only recovered to the second level of strength. He was unable to fight against Arthas who was well prepared. In anger, he decided to kill all the humans at the scene to improve himself."

"With his strength, he could have successfully accomplished this, because he had a backup plan in 'Body Worry'. At this time, Arthas had been severely injured, and the residual soul from Lingshan contained in his body took the opportunity to wake up!"

"Under this clamp, Magitel only needs to recover her strength to the third stage to catch up with Arthas in time and recover the treasure."

"However, things never go as planned. What Magitel could not have imagined was that the massacre, which was supposed to go smoothly, encountered setbacks."

"In this barren safe zone wasteland, in a small shelter, there is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There is a powerful human transcendent who has held him back for two hours."

"Because of the two-hour delay, a third-level peak Dawn Church bishop happened to pass by and killed Magitel. From this, he inferred the Tzeentch sect's plan, albeit initially, but keenly and fatally, and decided to report it to his superiors." "If the Astronomical Society's top leaders get to know the news, the entire plan will fail."

"So, King Tzeentch of Solomon, a forbidden existence, personally attacked a third-level human without any hesitation and activated his backup plan."

"The traitor of the Solomon Legion, Suki Herrera, the founder of the Solomon 18th Army who had been hiding for hundreds of years, has been found."

"By converting to the Dark XXX, Suki Herrera finally managed to escape from King Solomon's surveillance, but she was still contaminated. Unconsciously, she seduced several human transcendents and successfully passed the contamination from XXX to the Bishop of the Dawn Church, Yu Mingluan, who was in the safe zone."

Under the gaze of the four figures, many lines of handwriting seemed to be unable to be displayed due to the special purpose of the target, but this did not affect the overall viewing, and the book was still turning pages:
"Surprisingly, Yu Mingluan is actually a believer of the Holy Temple. With the help of the Lord of the Holy Temple, he once resisted the pollution of XXX."

"However, under the constant reminders from Ning Baishou, who was cooperating with the Tzeentch sect, Yu Mingluan, who struggled to resist, ultimately failed to overcome his obsession. He was contaminated and began to cooperate with Selkis. He began to help Tzeentch preach in one of the fragments of the Cosmic Light and held blood sacrifices, which greatly accelerated the arrival of Paimon."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Paimon will arrive perfectly on December 12th!"

"..."

At this moment, large sections of bloody blur appeared on the scroll, covering everything.

Countless gazes from the four figures were once again fixed on the top of the long bronze table.

Especially the one behind the dark door, his eyes were filled with anger:
"None of this matters!"

"I want to know why it finally escaped!"

Faced with doubts, the dark fog was not in a hurry.

Finally, a gnashing sound came from the dark door, and a tiny blood snake flowed out again and was swallowed by the thick fog.

This time, the book responded a little faster, and seemed to skip a lot and come directly to the end:
"...Alas, there are too many unexpected events in the world!"

"Paimon, who was supposed to arrive perfectly on December 12, failed to arrive because Edric's mission failed unexpectedly."

"After he entered the Cosmic Light Fragment, he never came out again. The Cosmic Light Fragment was isolated from observation, and no one knew what happened."

"It's also a pity that something unexpected happened to the fragments of the cosmic light that Serkis was in charge of, and the last batch of blood food was not delivered to Paimon's birth mother in time."

"The two Paimon clones failed to complete their missions, which directly caused Paimon's arrival date to be delayed by four days."

"But the great King Solomon still has victory in his grasp. He has countless backup plans. With the help of XXX's power, he successfully sealed the Star Tower in Area D8B3 and began to descend by force!"

"But at this most critical moment, the Star Tower suddenly exploded, and its origin disappeared, causing King Solomon to no longer be able to use the Star Tower as an anchor."

"But now King Solomon's will has already begun to arrive. Even if we fail this time, we only need to hold on for a little longer to leave some power behind and completely infiltrate the surface, leaving room for the next plan."

"As expected of you, the Lord of Tricksterism, the embodiment of wisdom!"

"But unfortunately, XXX saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled the scene on his own initiative. His whereabouts are unknown."

"King Solomon lost both of his two major supports, which ultimately led to the complete failure of his plan."

"This is not important. You must know that no one is undefeated when the Eastern Emperor falls, and it is unknown whether he can make a comeback! Perhaps in the near future, the counterattack of King Solomon will start again!"

……

Deathly silence again.

The rage within the dark door seemed to be unstoppable.

"I told you, I want to know more than just this!"

A stream of blood as thick as a child's arm spurted out and shot directly into the dark fog, surging and turbulent, unable to calm down for a long time.

The thick fog seemed to be unaffected, but slowly drove the book to turn another page.

This page only has a few short lines:

"XXX escaped. It ran away. After escaping from the dark prison and seeing the light of day again, it was overjoyed, but also terrified."

"At the last moment before leaving, XXX sent a message to the sky, saying -"

“It heard the voice of the Beginning!”

Wow!
The invisible pen seemed to suddenly break, and the pages of the book rolled closed.

Under the gaze of the five "people" around the long bronze table, the scroll was closed, revealing three large characters that were clearly human, but ancient and obscure, yet could be understood by all beings:

The Supreme Sutra!
……

……

The darkness is far away, and the light is approaching.

The light flickers, and darkness approaches.

In the flickering candlelight, Xu Shu, with his sister sitting on his neck and his left and right arms holding his parents, walked forward with difficulty on a strange and indescribable road.

In front of him was his own shadow, illuminated by the candlelight behind him.

His eyes were fixed on a soybean-sized flame in front of him, which was the "remaining candle" at the target location!
At this moment, after entering Xilu, Xu Shu finally understood why Wu Xin said "Xielu is rugged and there is a 70% chance of death."

First of all, the road illuminated by the candlelight at the starting point behind me is really too small!

The huge light gate that seemed to be more than a hundred feet wide when I first came in was completely deceptive.

In fact, after entering, the road illuminated by the light is less than one meter wide, and it is winding and twisting, moving back and forth. Except for this one meter wide, the rest is a deep and despairing darkness.

Secondly, in the surrounding darkness, there were terrifying hoarse roars from time to time, which made people's scalps tingle, and there were often pulling forces.

In other words, Xu Shu is very powerful and can continue to move forward as still as a mountain.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have staggered and been pulled into the darkness, and would have been dead!

In such a situation, how many people can stay in the light and strive to move forward?

Xu Shu saw countless unclear figures in front of him. These were the refugees from D8B3 area who had rushed into "Xie Lu" almost at the same time as him.

But no matter how hard Xu Shu chased, he could not catch up. It seemed that on the dead end road, everyone's forward speed was constant.

Behind me... I can't look back, but I guess the scene behind me is the same.

From time to time, someone would suddenly fall off the road because of trying to look back; some people would stop for a moment, seem to hesitate, and instantly fall to the bottom of the valley - this is falling off the road, falling into an unknown place in the wilderness, falling into a devil's cave somewhere unknown, and becoming someone's food.

As for the number of people who were pulled in by the strange force in the darkness on both sides, they were countless.

As we walked along the way, we could hear screams from both sides without stopping for a moment.

The screams continued, but Xu Shu did not dare to stop. He did not hesitate for a moment, remembering the two warnings - do not look back! Do not be shrouded by darkness!
The further he went, the thicker the darkness became. He gritted his teeth and persisted, moving forward without stopping for a moment, not daring to retreat even for a moment.

But he had already discovered the problem, that is, if the whole family walked in a pyramid-like manner like him, the road under their feet that was covered by candlelight would become more rugged and changeable!
He was now walking with four people stacked as one, but the light under his feet was moving more than four times faster!
This damn blocked road doesn't seem to allow anyone to rely on others to pass through in this way, it will actively increase its intensity.

But, let Xu Shu put his family down and let them go on their own?
Xu Shu really didn't dare.

And if we separate, we will definitely not be able to catch up.

The three people in the family were all ordinary people. Not only did they not have any cultivation, they were not even "physically strong". Xu Shu didn't think they could pass the road smoothly on their own.

In other words, people like Zhou Junjie, Zhou Shiyu, and Li Guoying, who are on the road to extinction, are destined to be eliminated.

The road was turned directly into the west road!

But continuing like this didn't seem to be a solution. Xi Lu had obviously triggered some mechanism, actively making things difficult for Xu Shu. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to take every step in the light.

How to do?
If this continues, the whole family will eventually be ruined.

But can they walk on their own?

Xu Shu glanced at the three family members who were so frightened by the roars in the darkness around them that they hardly dared to look up, and sighed.

With their level, they will probably fall down as soon as they land on the ground.

"There is a way, we can only try it..."

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and changed the title above his head—The Light Chaser!

In this darkness, it was hard for him not to try to use his own light to fight it.

Bell~~~
Xu Shu's eyes began to shine, and his gaze gradually became filled with joy, because it was effective.

The road in front of him was illuminated, and the darkness was driven dozens of meters away, even covering many people in front and behind, and even benefiting hundreds of people nearby!
This directly caused those things in the darkness to scream like crazy, and one could vaguely hear the language of some creature, as if it was loudly accusing Xu Shu.

Many people were ecstatic and quickened their pace.

There was also a person who was almost swallowed by the darkness. He turned around and kowtowed to Xu Shu to thank him, but as soon as he turned around, he fell off the road.

Some people did not look back, but felt relieved and stopped to rest, and they also fell down.

"It works! But don't relax!"

Xu Shu's heart tightened.

Although the problem of darkness pulling has been solved, this is only half of the problem. The other half is to be determined enough.

I saw people falling continuously, felt my family members trembling, and even felt a little warmth about to burst out on my neck.

Xu Shu felt his family's fear.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and sang as he walked:
"Forward! Forward! Hand in hand, forward!"

His singing was a little out of tune. It was more like a roar than a singing, powerful and inspiring.

All the people around were gradually infected, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

forward!

forward!!
forward!!!

The infinite darkness was crushed.

At a certain moment when time seemed almost lost, the bean-sized candle in front of me suddenly lit up.

Xu Shu's feet sank suddenly and he felt like he was stepping on solid ground.

In an instant, he found that the darkness around him was inadvertently moving away.

What appears before our eyes is a vast yellow plain.

Looking back at this moment, you can no longer see the dead road, but only see the mountains under the moon and the vast plains, and the stars sinking into the river into the wilderness. What a magnificent scene.

——Of course, we have to ignore the occasional screams and howls of ghosts and wolves.

"What about the rest?"

Xu Shu looked around and didn't see any large troops, but he saw a strong man appear out of nowhere about fifty meters away.

If you think about it this way, most people's landing points will be slightly different after they come out.

He didn't have time to think about it. After determining the direction based on a full moon in the west, he immediately led his family to the east.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the direction, because there are bright lights in the east, and it seems to be the entrance to a small town.

After walking less than a hundred meters, Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he saw a huge plaque building at the entrance of the town not far ahead, which was just within an ordinary line.

We finally arrived at the border.

Wu Xin was not lying. After tossing and turning for most of the night, although it was difficult, they finally managed to break through the barrier of the wilderness and arrived at the border of another safe zone.

When Xu Shu set out, he chose the east, so if nothing unexpected happens, this place belongs to the safe zone of the eastern front, D9B3 area.

Xu Shu also considered the reasons for choosing this direction.

D8B3区周边，往西D7B3和往北D8B4乃是二等安全区，但是后者即将掉段；往南是同为三等安全区的D8B2区。

Only in the east, the D9B3 area, the frontline safety zone, nicknamed "the hometown of Confucian sages", is a first-class safety zone!

Xu Shu's idea was that if he really couldn't hold on any longer after walking halfway, he would fall off the road and land on the wasteland.

Then, if you are closest to the first-class safety zone, your chances of survival will be greater.

Of course, it seems that this record is not necessary at the moment, because he relied on his own strength to force his way through the dead road and reached his destination.

However, on the plaque at the entrance of the town at the border of D9B3 area, there was a line of words clearly written that made people's hearts burn:

"Hospitable Penglai welcomes you!"
