Chapter 182: The Road of Experience, Controlling World Consciousness
"Ah!" Hearing this, Axe was shocked and puzzled: "After leaving Saint Saan Kingdom, where did he go?"
Axe has lived here all his life, never leaving the royal city of Bordoli, let alone going to other kingdoms. So he felt very unfamiliar with what Sebastian said about leaving the Kingdom of Saint Sanan, and he lacked the corresponding concept.
"You have lived with us for such a long time, and the master has not intentionally concealed it. You should have noticed that the master and I are not citizens of the Kingdom of Saint Sanan." Sebastian looked at him and said.
"Yeah." Ax nodded. Su Xingyu did not mention that he was not a citizen of the Kingdom of Saint Saan, but he did not hide it from him either.
Although Axel didn't take the initiative to ask or investigate, he could still notice the difference from some daily living habits.
So when Sebastian said that they were not citizens of the kingdom, Axe was not surprised at all.
However, Sebastian's next words shocked him completely.
"We are not from the Northern Continent either."
Ignoring Axe, whose jaw was about to drop, Sebastian said slowly, "We are from the Eternal Night Empire in the East Continent, which is the force currently at war with the Hundred Nations Alliance."
"The Eternal Night Empire, the super powerful barbarian empire that has conquered more than a dozen kingdoms? I didn't expect that you are from that empire. I thought that you and Brother Yu were nobles of the kingdom, and had to run here for refuge after the kingdom was conquered!" After a while, Ax, who had a strong ability to accept things, quickly returned to normal and said with a chuckle.
"..."
Sebastian glanced at him, "Your reaction was a little small, not what I expected."
"Master Butler, how do you think I would react? Anger, hatred, or fear?"
Axe said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter to me where you come from. I just need to know that you helped me, turning me from an ordinary person with a hard time making ends meet into a superhuman who can control his own destiny. You have done me a great favor, and that's enough."
"Although I was born in the Kingdom of Saint Saan, to be honest, I don't have a very good impression of this country. I lost my parents early and wandered the streets. If I hadn't been lucky enough, I would have starved to death long ago."
Axel was very smart. When Sebastian revealed his identity to him, he immediately made his position clear.
Sebastian stared at him for a while and couldn't help laughing: "You are very interesting and smart."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Axe chuckled, and then his expression became a little more serious. "So, what should we do next? I heard that people from our Eternal Night Cult have infiltrated us. Should we go and join them?"
"..."
Sebastian was silent for a while. Even though he had met many people, he was still speechless when he saw Axe change his identity so quickly.
"No, since you have followed the master, you don't need to pay attention to them. Just practice steadily according to the plan made by the master before he left." Sebastian shook his head and replied.
"What's the difference from before? It's boring." Axe was a little disappointed.
As his strength grew and his life became better, he gradually began to feel a little bored.
I used to think that Bordeaux was so huge that I could never finish visiting it in a lifetime.
Now, it’s just a city, it’s really too small.
He wanted to travel to a wider land, a more prosperous city, to see more things, to record more beautiful scenery, and to experience more interesting things.
"Pack up your things, it's time to go." said Sebastian.
"Departure? Where are we going?" Axe asked in surprise.
Sebastian replied: "Return to the East Continent, to the Eternal Night Empire."
Axe looked at the butler: "..." He had never been to school before, but he had learned some knowledge in the past few years and understood some common geographical information.
The Kingdom of Saint Saan is located in the central region of the Northern Continent, while the Eternal Night Empire is located in the southern part of the Eastern Continent. The straight-line distance between the two places is nearly ten thousand miles.
"How to get there?" Ax still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Sebastian looked at him and grinned, "Walk over there with your feet. This is specially arranged by the master..."
Oh no, it’s over!
Now I really want to travel.
……
The void, in a half plane.
A great battle is breaking out here. A huge black dragon is soaring in the sky, fighting with three equally huge beasts. Fighting one against three, it is not only not at a disadvantage, but is also firmly in the upper hand.
The roar of the black dragon echoed in the sky, shaking the entire battlefield. Its inky black scales shone with a cold luster in the sun, as if it was condensed from countless stars, beautiful and full of majesty.
The black dragon spread its huge wings, and every flap brought up a gust of wind, blowing the enemies below toppling over.
Not far below, there was a three-headed dog demon as huge as a mountain. Its body was covered with dark red stripes and was constantly squirming. Its body seemed to be made up of rocks, bulging in blocks, and looked extremely beautiful and powerful.
Each of its three heads looked like a burning boulder of lava, emitting a breath of destruction.
The three-headed dog demon was fighting one against two, suppressing the enemies on the opposite side, with a headless corpse lying under his feet. They were all super creatures of the ninth level of the Holy Domain, which showed how fierce it was.
These two terrifying monsters are naturally the black dragon Nidhogg of the Eternal Night Empire and the dog demon leader Harper.
They did not break through to become demigods, and are still at the ninth level. However, after fighting in this demiplane for nearly ten years, their strength has increased a lot compared to before.
Even though they were outnumbered, facing multiple monsters of the same level, they still had an absolute advantage in this battle.
The dragon warriors and dog demon warriors below were also fighting with the army of ferocious beasts, and the fight between the two sides was extremely brutal.
If Nidhogg and Harper have only become slightly stronger, then these two legions have been greatly enhanced.
The abundant blood and energy resources, as well as the bloody and brutal battles, made the transformation of the two legions much faster.
Although they have not yet been promoted to a high-level legion, the number of high-level extraordinary warriors among them has been increasing, reaching nearly a quarter.
After the expansion of the empire's legions, each legion had a strength of 10,000 people, with 10,000 people forming an army.
Even if it is only one-fourth of a single legion, there are 2,500 high-level ones.
Even though these legionnaires have certain flaws and may not be as good as those of the same rank who have been promoted on their own when fighting alone, there is no doubt that they are equivalent to high-ranking ones in legion combat.
However, the harvest is so great, but the price paid is also not small.
Almost all the high-level creatures in this demiplane were eaten by them.
The resources consumed by using unconventional promotion methods are really exaggerated.
Fortunately, they don't have to pay this price.
Yes, the harvest belongs to the Legion of Eternal Night, but the price is paid by this demiplane.
The accumulation of countless years in this demiplane has all become food for the Eternal Night Legion.
The war in this demiplane has reached its final stage. Under the deliberate promotion of the world consciousness, more and more beasts have been promoted, but they are of no great use. Compared with the huge base of creatures in the entire demiplane, these legions of the Eternal Night Empire are indeed pitifully small. However, if we really talk about the number of people promoted to high levels on both sides over the years, the Eternal Night Empire has more.
After all, if you want to be promoted to a higher level, it is very important to cultivate talent. Even if the Eternal Night Empire has developed a stable promotion route, it has only lowered the threshold and has not completely eliminated it.
When they choose warriors, they still prioritize cultivation talent.
The warriors of these Eternal Night Legions are themselves "geniuses" selected from the best of the best.
To put it simply, every soldier in these legions, including the reserve soldiers, have such talent in cultivation that they are one in a million geniuses in this demiplane.
So even though the numbers of the two sides are very different, the number of people who have been promoted to higher levels is actually less than that of the Eternal Night Legion.
After all, world consciousness is just an amplifier. It can help the creatures of the world to have adventures and provide insights, but it cannot help them cross the threshold.
As more and more local ninth-order beasts were killed, the battlefield situation completely turned to the monster army's side, and a war to determine the ownership of the plane gradually came to an end.
"Ow—"
Nidhogg's long arms grabbed the neck of the last ninth-level beast king, and dark dragon flames spurted out, pouring into the beast's big mouth and directly piercing its body.
The ninth-rank ferocious beast with extremely strong vitality died. Nidhogg held up the corpse of the beast king and let out a terrifying roar that shook the earth, as if announcing to the creatures in this world, telling them who is the overlord of this world.
"Roar--"
"Ow—"
The warriors of the monster army also roared, and the roars one after another resounded through the sky. The surviving beasts immediately woke up, crawled on the ground, and roared softly.
They bowed their heads to the victor of the war, the future ruler of this world, in submission.
"Please come, my king. We will dedicate this world to our Lord!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, the priests who followed him into the battle began the sacrificial ceremony.
No cumbersome process was carried out.
The war had just ended, the soldiers' bodies were still stained with blood, and the enemy's corpses were still lying at their feet.
However, this did not affect the warriors' high spirits. Under the leadership of the priest, they held a grand sacrifice on the spot.
No gifts were prepared.
After all, what sacrificial gift could be more precious than the corpses of ferocious beasts scattered all over the mountains?
Under the prayers of a large number of high-quality believers, the power of darkness began to overflow and spread in all directions.
The sky suddenly darkened and a depressing atmosphere arose around.
The world consciousness, which was severely damaged, followed its instincts and subconsciously began to resist the occurrence of this situation.
There were dark clouds and thunder and lightning.
Super lightning kept striking downwards, but before it could strike, it was dispersed by the dragon fire of the black dragon below.
A huge amount of power of faith gathered and converged into an astonishing force.
A dark figure turned from virtual to real. His face could not be seen clearly, but his figure was vast and boundless, penetrating the sky and the earth, standing on the grassland like a pillar supporting the sky.
All living beings in the world felt His presence. Even if they were far away and couldn't see the situation here, they could vaguely feel that a powerful being was coming in this direction.
Compared to Him, even a black dragon with a body of hundreds of meters seems insignificant.
The ferocious beast crawled on the ground, trembling and neighing in fear.
If they had faced the monster army before, they would have dared to resist even if they couldn't defeat them.
Then, faced with this vast dark figure, they had no desire to resist.
Even in the face of death, they dare not resist.
"Welcome my lord!"
"Welcome my lord!"
"Welcome my lord!"
The warriors of the monster army, feeling the gaze of the great being, shouted wildly and became extremely crazy.
With the arrival of the dark figure, the world consciousness also became manic, but it was of no use, all his attacks were easily resolved.
bang——
There was a loud noise.
The dark pillar of light penetrated the sky and the earth. The sky and the earth were all covered in darkness, without a trace of light.
The darkness painted the entire world like ink, and in the blink of an eye, it covered hundreds of miles.
If this trend continues, it won’t be long before this demiplane is completely covered by darkness.
The power of darkness penetrated into the world and began to move towards the core, constantly squeezing the living space of the world consciousness. After losing many high-level creatures, the world consciousness became increasingly fragile.
When the power of darkness expanded to one fifth, "He" could no longer hide.
"I finally found you. You hid yourself so well." A smile appeared on Su Xingyu's face. He stretched out his hand and a dazzling ball of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is the world consciousness, an existence condensed by all living beings in the plane.
This is not the first time Su Xingyu has come into contact with world consciousness. Before this, he had already controlled three world consciousnesses, and now this is the fourth one.
Familiar with the route, his huge spiritual consciousness quickly examined the ball of light in front of him inside and out. After making sure there was no problem, Su Xingyu put his mark in it.
The gap in strength between the two sides was so great that the world consciousness was unable to resist at all and could only allow Su Xingyu to do whatever he wanted.
However, after a short while, Su Xingyu completed the contract. The world consciousness of this half-plane was completely blackened by him and turned into his shape.
"again."
Feeling the connection with the world consciousness, Su Xingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then with the help of the world consciousness, he began to explore the rare resources in this demiplane.
After mastering the world consciousness, "He" is equivalent to the master of this demiplane. Even if he only has preliminary control, he still has some simple abilities.
……
Time flies.
Soon the time agreed by everyone arrived. After entering the coordinates, Su Xingyu opened the portal to another world and walked in.
Just a bubble, the author is still alive
