"Really...really?!"
"Really, the emperor feels that the source of power in this world is too thin, which makes the sublimation of human beings particularly difficult. If this situation does not change, human beings will only be in a protected position."
"So...you need the Wild Soul Armor?"
"Ha... Exile, you shouldn't treat humans as expendables. They are living beings with a brighter future than us. We should give humans some time. They may not do worse than us."
Shan Lan has experienced too many wars, and he knows the idea of exile. He believes that as long as he researches the Wild Soul Armor, and then tricks humans into relying on this power, he can continuously obtain qualified warriors.
The ultimate goal of the gods is to enter the real world and then devour this still living world. Many cold and dead ruin worlds are formed in this way.
And the Nine Prisons established by the emperor are blocking the front of the real world, facing directly the frontline of the gods' soldiers - the endless races of the gods.
But on the other side of the Nine Hells, the low-level wild souls have no intelligence. The hunger in their nature makes them kill each other and devour each other.
Therefore, the Wild Soul Army must be led by the Coffin Clan, and it also needs to be screened and trained before it can be established into an organization after a long time.
On the other hand, if humans wearing Aragama armor enter the army, they can control dozens to hundreds of Aragama, flexibly engage the enemy in the battlefield in the form of a small team, and be able to understand instructions.
Unlike now, the commander-in-chief of each legion can only give one order to make 10,000+ wild souls rush forward. No tactical instructions can be executed. It is so stupid that it makes people speechless.
"Exile, we protect humans, never for them, but for ourselves. Only life has death, and the evil devoured one world after another, which is breaking the balance of life and death. If we sit back and watch, we will eventually join in. Die.”
"But it's us who bleed and die all this time, and humans should provide enough value!"
When Exile was born, the Nine Hells had already taken shape, and it was a country he was proud of.He respects the emperor and loves his fellow humans, but he also thinks highly of himself and never treats humans as equals.
Shanlan has become accustomed to this question. In his long life, his fellow tribesmen have said this to him more than once. At that time, he always repeated the emperor's words, indicating that this was an unquestionable order.
But now, after Shanlan has experienced so many things, he gradually understands the emperor's meaning and has his own answer.
"Exile, what if, I mean what if, you... are also human?"
"I'm human too? What do you mean?"
He has been away from his hometown for too long, and he doesn't know much of the news, but he remembers the past rumors very clearly.
"Wait a minute! You mean...to transform from a coffin tribe into a human being? The emperor has already completed that ritual?"
"Yes, the Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice has been realized. So far, 320 eight coffins have chosen to give up everything and return to humanity.
Shan Lan has seen many reincarnation rituals, which are complex rituals for the coffin tribe to transform into human beings——
Once the ritual is completed, all memories will be erased, all power will disappear, and all cause and effect will be completely separated.
That was the birth of a brand new life, which had nothing to do with the Nine Hells and Hades. It only belonged to human beings in this world.
"Since the last millennium, most of the people of the same race who died in the war do not want to be resurrected. They choose to have a new life."
"Just... such a short 100 years?"
"It should be said that it is not yet. Human beings will grow old, get sick, and die. Their life is as short as a moment, and once they pass away, they will never come back."
"That's it, everyone...why do you want to become human?"
"Because I'm tired, when the age becomes measured in millennia, the wear and tear of the mind becomes the biggest enemy. There is never an eternity that is unchanged. We will not die, but it does not mean that we do not want to die."
The tone of Shan Lan's words was truly touching, because he himself was one of the things he was talking about.
They... have really existed for so long that their souls have become filled with twilight energy and their thinking has become rigid and numb.
"Exile, you are still young now. One day, you will understand."
"I……"
Exile wanted to refute Shan Lazy's words, but facing an old-timer, his answer was too vain.
"That's it, Exile, it's time for you to go. Another guest is already waiting."
Shan Lan had already said everything he wanted to say. He didn't know how he would choose to live in exile in the future. That was his business.
And now, he will fulfill his destiny and move from an immortal evil creature to a new reincarnation.
"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. You don't need to do anything today. Your wish will come true soon."
"what?!"
At first, Exiled thought he had heard wrongly, but when he looked at Shanlan's solemn look, he suddenly understood what he meant.
Exile wanted to say something more, but Shanlan didn't give him a chance. He just pushed forward silently, and Exile flew out like duckweed. In just a few breaths, he was pushed out. boundary……
Outside the Death Barrier, Nangong Nayue, who had been trying hard for a long time, finally got a response from Shanlan. She stroked her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. She looked up and saw the exile who was driven out.
"This feels like...he is the apostle of Hades?"
Nangong was also a little unsure about his exile status that month. If it were normal times, she would definitely go forward to investigate, but now she has more important things to do and can no longer care about so much.
Shanlan seemed to be deliberately avoiding the conflict between Nangong Nayue and Exile. His invitation came at the right time, and Nangong Nayue had no time to explore his suspicions.
——Still in the same pavilion, using the same body, Shan Lan met Nangong Nayue.
"Witch of the gap, I didn't expect... you are just like you were when we first met you."
"This is my false body. The real me is sleeping in the gap between the two worlds. I have grown up."
Nangong heard that Shanlan knew her that month, but she didn't know him. Although she had met many coffin tribesmen, she didn't seem to have many opportunities when she was young.
"Where have we met before?"
"Haha~ When the emperor took you to hang out in the Nine Prisons. That day, the emperor suddenly brought a child around, which scared many people."
Shan Lan recalled the distant past and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really a beautiful era. The emperor was in good health at that time, and he was not as lingering as he is now.
"Nangong Nayue, for you, that should have been a thousand years ago. Another thousand years, for humans, it is really a long time."
"Yes, in 1000, I saw the fall of dynasties, the birth of new kings, and the rapid development of science and technology, which is almost incredible."
Nangong Nayue never told anyone her age. She has lived for 1000 years and will continue to live forever.
Because she is the 'Witch of the Gap', the Lord of the Underworld and the Lord of the Nine Hells: the contractor of Emperor Huangquan, and she was also the only apostle of the Underworld at first.
For thousands of years, she has never slackened on her responsibilities. As the "Guardian of the Gate" who protects the passage between the two worlds, she sleeps forever in the gap between the two worlds. Her time has been suspended.
"I used to think that immortality would be a wonderful thing, but after so long, I'm tired."
"Haha~ Are you tired now? We old bones have lived dozens of times longer than you, so we are really tired."
Shan Lan knows the importance of the 'Witch of the Gap' better than most of the Coffin Clan. She is the emperor's only representative. Any Coffin Clan who enters the real world must obtain her permission unless they are sneaking across.
In the present world, she has the qualifications to judge the Coffin Clan. Although she has to pay a high price, she is the only one other than the Emperor who can banish and remove the Coffin Clan.
For the Coffin Clan, that is the punishment second only to annihilation. In the eyes of many people, it may even be more cruel than disappearing forever.
It is precisely because of Nangong Nayue's existence that the Lingcoff clan is so honest in the real world, so many Lingcoff clan dare not come to the real world and can only find an apostle to walk on their behalf.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is Nangong Nayue who protects the balance between the two worlds. She has restrained the god-like Coffin Clan in a human body for thousands of years.
Even the so-called Thirteen Gatekeepers in the present world were the result of her dividing the authority in her hands into thirteen parts and giving them to thirteen humans. Shan Lan did not approve of her behavior, but he accepted it. Her choice.
Because no one understands better than Shan Lan the weight and pressure of shouldering responsibilities. That feeling is enough to make the strongest person collapse, and he suffers severe suffering every moment.
——The secret he carried and the fate he shouldered have overwhelmed him. For this reason, this general who has conquered for 25 thousand years chose to sleep in eternal sleep.
"Nangong Nayue, I feel your fatigue. Has a thousand years of wear and tear already made you want to sleep forever?"
"Ha... After living for so long, every time I see people passing by on the street, I feel like an alien."
Nangong Nayue concealed her identity. She silently guarded mankind, never interfered in mankind's own affairs, and followed their development and progress.
This is what the Emperor taught her. He actually rarely interferes in the development of the Coffin Clan, because the future of a race should not be determined by one individual.
Especially if that person is not yet able to shoulder that responsibility.
"Shanlan, the emperor... always says that he just has more ideas and is incapable of guiding the direction of the two worlds. What do you think?"
"Humility is one of the thousands of virtues of an emperor. I call his rule over the Nine Hells 'inaction'. This is a governance method that transcends the concept of 'king'."
Shanlan's respect for the emperor has reached an all-time high. It is precisely because the emperor trusts him and regards him as his right-hand man that he becomes even more trembling and stressed.
"Nangong Nayue, what you did in the real world is the same way. Knowing that you can't do it and doing it is a brave man. But you can do it but not doing it, which is the real hero."
"Ha...are you praising the emperor with these words, or are you flattering me from the side?"
"I'm just telling the truth. In this millennium of humankind, you have done nothing to achieve such prosperous development."
"is that so?"
"Of course, the emperor once said that an individual's vision and experience are ultimately limited. If he wants to achieve the ultimate in a certain aspect, he must focus."
"So, the emperor only cares about the military and delegates other powers to others?"
Nangong Nayue was quite curious about the composition of the Nine Hells. Although she knew its specific operation mode, she still didn't understand the secrets of each joint.
The extraordinary emperor changed her destiny, and when the two communicated, he looked after the empire he built as if he were taking care of his own child.
Chapter 184: This chapter contains a lot of foreshadowing
"That's right. The Council of Crowns of the Coffin Clan is in charge of all the powers delegated by the emperor. They are the makers of many rules and the executors of various matters. And all of this is supervised by the emperor and has never changed. "
Shan Lan's tone was very determined, because this was the part of his hometown that he was most proud of.The Coffin Clan are all contractors of the Emperor, but the Emperor holds power but does not love power, and is extremely powerful but not indiscriminate. This is particularly respectable.
——All the coffins believe that the emperor watches everything, and his gaze will always exist with the Nine Hells.
Shan Lan once believed so deeply, yes... once.
"Nangong Nayue, I have no right to question you, but some things are too important to me, so I must confirm again."
"You tell me, I absolutely know everything."
Nangong Nayue was a little confused about Shanlan's solemn attitude, but she didn't mind talking about some secrets with him.
She came here to resolve the current turmoil. If Shan Lan owes a favor, the rest of the matter may be settled peacefully.
Shan Lan saw what Nangong was thinking that month, and he was happy to see the outcome. He controlled the body of the social animal and took off his glasses, and took a long breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
"Nangong Nayue, when was the last time you contacted the emperor?"
"About...four months ago?"
Nangong Nayue would not contact his contractor frequently. After all, as the Lord of Hades, he had to deal with many things and did not have so much free time.
Normally, the communication between the two of them consisted of the emperor occasionally sending her messages, using the daily chat software used by humans, and also using various emoticons.
——I can only say that he is worthy of being an emperor, and he is very close to the people.
"Since that exchange, I haven't heard from him again, but I haven't taken the initiative to contact him. What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. Can you tell me the last thing you talked about?"
Shan Lan has been sleeping here for who knows how many years, but what happened when he asked Nangong that month was very baffling.
Shan Lan should have no way of knowing what was happening in the outside world, but when he woke up, he was convinced that the emperor had not contacted his contractor for a long time.
Nangong did not immediately answer Shan Lan's words that month. She was also thinking about the conversation between the two. Of course she could hear that Shan Lan was worried about the emperor's movements.
However, he is the Lord of the Underworld, the Lord of the Nine Hells, the most powerful desolate soul in the Ruins Realm, and the king of all Coffin Tribes. How could something happen to him inexplicably?
"I...the last topic the Emperor and I talked about was that he found a very qualified young man."
"Boys and girls?"
"boy."
"How big?"
"16 is old."
"what is his name?"
"Lin Qingluo."
"Is he handsome or not?"
"Quite...handsome."
Nangong Nayue answered very hesitantly. Facing Shanlan, she didn't want to make any mistakes or cause any problems.
Shan Lan smiled for the first time at this time. He patted his thigh with his hand and laughed so hard that his body was shaking.
"He... actually wants to have a No. 2 contractor?"
"Yes, the emperor said so."
"Where is that child from?"
"Looking at the accent, he's from China."
