Chapter 423: Chapter 214: Cooling Down, the War Begins!
Time flows, and the battlefield stirs.
At the top of a mountain shaped like a Waning Moon, the strongest Grand Marshal of the Nether Race stood with arms crossed, gazing at the battlefield ablaze with smoke in the distance. The frequent flashing of light and darkness on the battlefield surprised him.
He did not know how the Humans possessed such special Power, but it was strong, strong enough to directly suppress the Divine Race.
"Grand Marshal, what do you think of the strength of our Human Race?" Wu Geng stood beside him, a proud and confident smile on his face as he asked.
"Very strong, stronger than I imagined. It seems the fall of King of Shang didn’t crush your will to resist, but instead further ignited it, driving you to fight even more valiantly."
The Grand Marshal of the Nether Race turned his head, looking at the Nether generals and the warriors of the Human Race standing behind him. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "I thought this rebellion would take more time to brew, but to my surprise, you gave me a huge surprise."
"This is the Power of our Human Race."
Wu Geng replied with a smile.
The other Humans, along with the generals of the Nether Race, also laughed along because they understood the Power possessed by this Human, and they were willing to believe in him, believing their rebellion could succeed.
Soon after, Wu Geng suddenly asked, "Grand Marshal, do you know if there exists anything in this world that simultaneously governs the Attributes of Light and Dark, Yin and Yang?"
The Humans’ faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow supports their rebellion, but they also feel that the Lord of Light and Shadow doesn’t seem like the entity’s true name, but more of a Title. They long to understand the existence that grants them the Power to rebel.
"Governing Yin and Yang?"
The Grand Marshal paused, falling into brief contemplation. After some thought, he said, "In this world, there does exist an entity that can govern Yin and Yang. In ancient texts, there is a being known as the [Candle Dragon]."
"The Candle Dragon, its gaze means day, when it closes its eyes, it is night. Opening its eyes signifies daylight, closing its eyes means darkness. Its breath can alter the seasons of cold and heat; to some extent, it can be considered a controller of Yin and Yang, but its existence is too mysterious, even I am not sure if it exists."
"The Candle Dragon?"
Wu Geng frowned slightly. The identity of the Lord of Light and Shadow shouldn’t be the Candle Dragon because the Candle Dragon seems to appear in the form of a dragon rather than a human form.
So, he continued to ask, "Besides the Candle Dragon, are there any other Signs?"
The Grand Marshal shook his head without speaking.
"You won’t find it."
Suddenly, a young girl slowly walked out of the crowd. She had a head of silver hair that flowed with a golden shine, eyes as bright as liquid Gold, dressed in simple white clothes with golden patterns, exuding a naturally gentle yet strong aura.
Her name is Yuan Chu. She appeared a few days ago, joined the rebellion Sequence of the Human Race, leading the Human rebels out of despair time and again, even once defeating a Divine Race warrior on her own.
"Why?"
Wu Geng asked in confusion.
"You only see the trees but not the forest. This great world is like an endless sandy beach, and our current world is just an insignificant grain of sand on that beach. The sand may reflect the image of the lord on the shore, but it cannot pursue His roots, for He does not belong to the sand but is a great entity above the beach."
Yuan Chu replied with a smile.
"Have you seen other worlds?"
The Grand Marshal suddenly asked.
As the Marshal of the Nether Race, his lifelong dream is to let the Nether Race people leave the Hell Realm and enjoy the warmth and fertile land of the human world, live blissfully with the sound of birds and fragrant flowers.
Yuan Chu’s words undoubtedly gave him a huge shock. If the world was indeed so large, why could they only reside in a corner?
"It’s fake, probably just deceitful words. She always likes to say some inexplicable things. I don’t believe it," said a tall general of the Nether Race with disdain.
In fact, it wasn’t the first time he expressed disbelief. Previously, he even directly said to Yuan Chu’s face, "The Lord of Light and Shadow isn’t actually that powerful, it’s just a big exaggeration," such words.
Then he discovered that the eyes of those Human rebels towards him changed, and after a righteous group beating, they hung him on a tree for three days and nights.
During this period, other generals of the Nether Race came to investigate the specific situation, but found that the fool only suffered a little external injury, nothing serious, so they left.
After all, their Grand Marshal had long said that the faith of those Human rebels was extremely extreme, and they should never speak recklessly about the lord supporting their rebellion in front of them, or any problems arising would be borne by the offender themselves.
After all, they are truly extreme!
And this time, facing the lack of trust from the general of the Nether Race, Yuan Chu just smiled, but the smile was full of contempt, as if mocking the other’s ignorance.
Now no one can prove she is right, nor can anyone prove she is wrong.
...
At night, Yuan Chu was engraving an Array on the ground, an Array taught to her by the Short-tailed Cat, requiring special summoning materials. After completing the inscription, it could summon her to the other party’s world through a token.
But the cost would consume a progress of an advanced sequence, if there is no progress, the summoning would fail, so early communication is crucial.
Shortly after, the patterns on the ground emitted a brilliant azure-blue light, and the mysterious ritual Awakened the Spirit Realm, summoning the Spiritualist - Short-tailed Cat from another world through the power of the contract.
Dark Shadows rolled, and a slightly immature figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
