Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the dark stone room, Tangning was quickly flipping through the books piled on the desk. Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching, so he put down the book and formed a seal in his hand. His figure quickly turned into reality.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.

After the stone door opened, an undead skeleton with a body as black as ink strode in. He walked to the bottom of the steps and bowed down, with flames in his eyes: "Greetings to King Zhixin. Here comes the leader Qianxuan of King Chengu's subordinate. , waiting outside now, saying that there is an order from King Chengu."

The ghost general's eyes flashed red: "Invite him!"

"Yes." The undead skeleton responded.

Of course, the ghost general's answer was controlled by Tang Ning. Since Chen Gu had sent his cronies to pass on his orders, if he avoided seeing him, it would only arouse suspicion. It would be better to meet him openly so that he could know why he came here.

After waiting for a while, footsteps sounded outside, and a skeleton soldier leader led a tall ghost general in from the outside.

"Zhixin, I came here on the orders of King Chengu. King Chengu asked me to ask you, how did you do with the investigation you were asked to investigate last time?" The ghost general under the stone steps did not salute, but held his head high. , looked directly at Zhixin, with red light flashing in his eyes, and asked unceremoniously.

No one in the hall responded and fell into silence for a while, pointing out that Xin Duan was sitting on the throne like a stone statue, while Tang Ning, who was using the shadow ghost technique to hide away, was dumbfounded and stared at the ghost general at the bottom of the stone steps in disbelief.

He never expected that he would meet his lost second Nascent Soul here and on this occasion.

He was completely stunned, his mind went blank at first, and then thoughts came flooding in.

Although this second Yuanying had completely changed its appearance and was no longer even human, when his consciousness swept over it, the familiar feeling did not change. The ghost general in front of him was his split second Yuanying.

How could it appear in the realm of the dead? How did it get here? How did it become like this?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Zhi Xin, I ask you a question from King Chengu." The words were ignored, and the ghost general under the stone steps seemed a little angry.

Only then did Tangning recover from the shock and surge of thoughts. He controlled Zixin and replied, "I have tried my best to handle the instructions given by King Dustbone, but so far, I haven't found anything."

"The King of Dust Bones sent me here this time to assist you in this matter."

"Okay! Since you were sent by the King of Dust Bones and you have been tired all the way, you should go and rest first!" Tangning had no idea what the King of Dust Bones was telling him, so she could only fool him first.

"There's no need to take a rest. Find the person investigating this matter. I want to know the progress immediately."

"The person in charge of this person is out and cannot be contacted for the time being. When he comes back, let him report the progress to you." After Zhi Xin said this, he said to the skeleton soldier below: "Take Leader Qianxuan to rest."

"Yes." The skeleton responded, and then stood next to the ghost general.

The ghost general at the bottom of the stone steps seemed a little dissatisfied, but he didn't insist anymore and turned around to leave.

Tang Ning kept watching his back disappear from the end of her field of vision, her mind filled with thoughts.

Let's not think about how Jintang became like this. The top priority is to figure out how he came to the world of the dead.

He was transferred from the Artifact World to the Dead Spirit World, but Jintang could not take this route. The space passage from the Tianyuan World to the Artifact World was in the hands of the Merchant Alliance, and it was impossible for him to sneak in quietly.

His appearance here today at least shows that there is another channel in the Tianyuan world that can reach the world of the dead, and it is very likely to be directly accessible.

Could it be that there is an unknown space channel directly existing in the world of the dead and the world of Tianyuan? If this is the case, then he can return directly to the Tianyuan Realm, and there is no need to detour to the Artifact Realm.

Tangning's eyes flickered and she thought about it for a while, then she controlled her fingers and left.

………

Under the iceberg, Aguda is kneeling next to the girl in white, constantly chanting prayers. This is its daily compulsory course. Ever since it rescued the sealed girl in white, it has set this rule for itself. , pray at least nine times a day, for no less than half an hour each time, to express respect for the supreme god of death.

In the distance, a ray of light shot out, revealing Tangning's figure.

"Lord Messenger, you are back." Aguda saluted him respectfully.

"I found the location of the space channel node. Come with me." After Tangning said that, her spiritual power wrapped around the girl in white and flew away. Aguda quickly followed. From the southern glacier bordering the area under the jurisdiction of the fort, you can already faintly see the lush mountain forests in the distance.

"If the prediction is correct, the entrance to the space passage should be nearby." Tangning turned around, waved his hand, and pulled out the long sword on the girl's back. Dark matter poured out of his body and wrapped around the sword.

At the same time, his consciousness also entered the inside of the magic sword. The thunderous and heavy snoring sound was still there. The evil ghost opened its two red eyes and without any hesitation, it raised the long sword in its hand.

The boundless darkness surged in again, and Tangning's consciousness was completely plunged into darkness at this moment. It took him a long time to wake up from his coma.

"Messenger, are you okay?" Aguda asked cautiously when he saw that he was in such a sluggish state again.

"It's okay. It seems it won't be easy for us to go back." Tangning replied absently.

According to the records in the book, it is correct that this should be the entrance to the space passage. However, this time the evil ghost still did not summon the space door, so there is only one possibility left.

The space channel controlled by the evil ghost has some special characteristics, and the space channel in the spirit world of this world connector is not under the control of the evil ghost, so it cannot be summoned.

Since there is no way to leave this world through the evil ghost stone gate, the only way is to build a formation. The passage space connecting the two interfaces cannot be opened by one person, at least he and A Guda cannot.

"Aguda, from now on, we have to collect a lot of formation materials. The only way to leave here is to rely on formations to open the space channel."

"What are your orders, Master Messenger?"

"The efficiency of just the two of us is too slow. Fortunately, I can use the summoning of the undead to control the undead creatures. As long as we control Chen Gu, the leader of Qinglinyuan, we can get a lot of manpower and material resources for our use, so our next goal must be On it, but before that, I have one more thing to figure out.”

Tangning's eyes flickered as she pulled out the plan from her mind. The two finalized the details and left the place immediately.

………

In the dark room of Jiaozhi Fort, a ghost general was sitting with his eyes closed. It was covered with black smoke. Every time it breathed out, the smoke was absorbed into the body and then spit out again. This went on and on for an unknown amount of time. Footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

The ghost general inhaled the surrounding black mist into his body, opened his eyes, and waved his hand to open the door. A skeleton soldier came in and saluted it, with flames in his eyes: "Chief Qianxuan, King Xin invites you to go See it."

The ghost general got up and followed him to the central hall of the castle. Sitting in the main seat above the stone steps was Zhi Xin.

Before it could ask, Zhi Xin took the lead and said, "There are already clues to what King Chen Gu told me."

"How's it going? What did you find?"

"I sent a subordinate to investigate. I just received news that its body was found outside. It was killed by someone. I think it must have found some important clues, so it was targeted."

The ghost general's eyes flashed red under the stone steps: "Where was it killed? Who killed it?"

"You don't know yet, but the place where it was killed is at the border with the Ice Age. I'm about to go to the place where it was killed to check if there are any clues. Will you go?"

"King Dustbone sent me to assist you in investigating this matter. Of course I will go."

"Let's go!" Zhi Xin stood up and walked out.

The two of them left the castle and headed north to a remote mountainous area. Zhi Xin suddenly stopped, turned around expressionlessly, and stared straight at the ghost general following behind.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you stop suddenly?" Seeing it suddenly stop, it had a vague premonition.

Before it finished speaking, it felt an irresistible huge force coming from it. Before it could react, its body flew out like a cannonball involuntarily. During the fall, it saw a vague shadow emerging.

With a loud bang, its body fell to the ground, collapsing a rock below. In a flash of light and shadow, an unidentified person wearing a black robe and bamboo hat, whose face was covered, had arrived and pinched it with one hand. Its neck lifted it into the air.

"Who are you?" Sensing the power of the opponent's aura, its heart was filled with fear and its eyes glowed red.

"This is the messenger of the great god of death. As long as you are honest and obedient, we will not make things difficult for you." Zhi Xin came to him at some point and responded to him.

"What do you want me to do?" The thick and powerful hand holding its neck has burst into dazzling red light, covering its entire body. It understands that as long as the other party has a thought, it will die immediately. At this critical moment of life and death, It has no time to think about anything else.

Who is the messenger of the God of Death? Why did Zhi Xin rebel? It has forgotten all these things. Now it just wants to live.
