Chapter 228 Banquet, Preparation
Three months later, in Eternal Night City, the ancient imperial capital looked even more solemn and mysterious under the shadow of the Dark Mountain.
As the day of the Eternal Night Empire's banquet approaches, the whole city is immersed in a festive atmosphere. The streets are lined with colorful lights and flags, and the air is filled with everyone's expectations and joy.
At the top of the Dark God Mountain, preparations for the banquet are nearing completion.
Tall stone pillars supported the dome of the banquet hall, and there were exquisite patterns carved on it, as if telling the glorious history of the Eternal Night Empire. The interior of the banquet hall was decorated with gold and jade, with exquisite wall hangings on the walls and thick carpets on the ground, which were soft and comfortable to step on.
Before the banquet began, lords from all over the country arrived in the City of Eternal Night one after another. They came from the abyss of the deep sea, the edge of the sky, the bottom of the dead valley, and even the demiplane of the void, traveling thousands of miles to this mysterious and solemn city. Their arrival added more color and expectations to the banquet.
When the banquet officially began, brilliant fireworks suddenly rose above the Evernight City, lighting up the entire city. The peak of the Dark God Mountain was also lit up, like a lighthouse shining in the dark night, guiding the guests to the direction of the banquet.
In the banquet hall, the guests sat around a long dining table with all kinds of delicacies in front of them. These foods were not only delicious in appearance, aroma and taste, but each of them also contained powerful energy and magical effects.
Here, people can taste legendary ingredients, such as holy spiritual fruits, semi-god meat, and even the legendary dragon blood nectar. In addition to delicious food, there are also various entertainment programs and performances. The dancers dance gracefully on the dance floor, and their dance moves are graceful and beautiful, as if they are performing a moving story.
"Drink with you all."
The Empire's Archon Ye San, who was seated second at the banquet, stood up, raised his crystal wine glass to everyone with a smile on his face.
The guests below all stood up, smiling, and raised their glasses.
At this moment, a dark figure as deep as the abyss and hell suddenly appeared on the vacant main seat. He did not emanate any terrifying aura, but gave people a feeling that he was superior to all living beings.
He is like a god who reigns over the world and controls the fate of all living things, making people intimidated.
Seeing this figure, everyone was stunned at first, and then showed surprise:
"My lord!"
No one expected that the dark god would come down in person, and in his true form.
"hehe…"
A light laugh entered everyone's ears. The dark figure did not say much, but just raised the wine glass in front of him and said softly:
"Drink together."
Everyone present, whether they were in high positions of power or those with great strength, whether they were monsters or dark humans, all focused their eyes on the cup.
Their faces became extremely fanatical, as if they felt the call of truth.
Then they all shouted enthusiastically: "Hail to the King!"
Not only here, but all over the world, wherever related celebrations are held, images of this place appear.
Countless dark believers raised their glasses and drank with the gods.
Drink it all in one gulp.
After the cup was put down, the figure of the god disappeared, as if he had come to the world just to have a drink with them.
Although the dark gods have returned to the divine realm, this banquet has truly reached its climax.
"Let's drink one more cup for the king, for the empire, and for all of you." It was a rare banquet, and even Ye San, who was usually very calm, couldn't keep himself calm at this moment, especially since the god was right next to him just now, which made his blood boil and he could hardly suppress himself.
"cheers."
The banquet atmosphere became extremely lively.
At this moment, they are no longer divided by strength, status, or race. They now have only one identity: believers of the dark gods.
The banquet lasted for seven days, day and night, and the whole world was celebrating.
……
Dark divine realm.
Su Xingyu sat on the throne, closed his eyes and concentrated, digesting the impact of the torrent of faith. The impact of the unified plane was huge, especially in terms of faith.
His believers were already very pious, and now that all obstacles have been cleared and there is only one voice and one will left in the entire plane, they will be even more pious.
Moreover, after the war of unification, many believers achieved breakthroughs, resulting in a huge increase in the power of faith for a while. Even though Su Xingyu's current strength is comparable to that of a true god, he can hardly hold on.
Fortunately, the foundation laid at the beginning was relatively solid and strong, and could accommodate more power of faith. Otherwise, He would be ready to break through to become a true God now.
"After defeating the Blood Empire and taking over the Western Continent, we have gained a lot, but there are also a lot of troubles. I guess I won't be able to rest well in the next period of time."
Although the last vampires of the Blood Empire escaped and took away many treasures before running away, there were still some things that they could not take away.
The Eternal Night Empire still found a lot of good things from it. Considering the current size of the Eternal Night Empire, it can still be called a good thing, so its preciousness is self-evident.
For example, the true body of the Blood God, the true artifact·Blood-sucking Spear, the God's Domain Building·Ancestor Trial, the Five-Star Wonder·River of Blood... Any of these items, if released, can drive players crazy.
Even the Eternal Night Empire became really rich after obtaining these things.
However, the gains were great, but there were also a lot of troubles afterwards.
The first is the issue of world will. This plane is a large plane, and the world will is very powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to a true god.
The reason why it was not obvious before was mainly because Su Xingyu was a native creature. Even if he showed extremely strong aggressiveness and malice, the world's will would not directly target him.
And now, after truly facing the will of the world, Su Xingyu intuitively felt the other party's power.
Even if the other party does not resist, with Su Xingyu's current strength, it will be very troublesome for him to completely control the will of the world.
It's not impossible, it just takes a lot of time.
Of course, overall, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and they are far greater.
In the Dark Divine Realm, Su Xingyu spent some time counting and putting away the harvest, and then made some arrangements to avoid any emergencies that might prevent him from waking up in time.
After doing everything, Su Xingyu did not hesitate. He closed his eyes and concentrated, refining the world will directly in the divine space.
……
Based on the time of the Eternal Night Plane, ten years passed quickly.
In the divine space realm, Zhang Tao sat on the throne of the temple with his eyes closed. His breath was a little weak, and it seemed that he had been injured not long ago.
"Damn, these monsters are too difficult to deal with. They are obviously only left with instincts, but how can they still fight so well? It's really speechless." Zhang Tao, who just escaped from the Monster Continent, had a depressed look on his face. As expected, he failed again.
The monsters left on the Monster Continent were too powerful. Even though he possessed special spatial authority and had impressive combat capabilities, he was still no match for four hands with two fists.
There was no other way. After dealing with those relatively simple continents, the remaining ones were all tough ones. Even with his strength, there was nothing he could do now.
There was no way to recover the "Space Law", and the power of faith was not particularly strong, so his progress slowed down. After thinking about it, Zhang Tao no longer hesitated, took out the Space Stone, and sent a message to several other members of the Space Conference.
After sending it, he sighed and said, "I originally wanted to save it for later use, but now it seems that I should just use it right away."
To be honest, Zhang Tao felt that it was a great deal to be able to use the teleportation gate technology in exchange for a chance for others to take action. Putting aside other things, the potential shown by those three players alone was enough for him to invest.
Zhang Tao couldn't guarantee other aspects, but as for strength, based on his personal feeling, he thought that the worst of the three was at the level of the boss of his organization.
To be honest, it is very difficult for such characters to get a chance to escape.
And this difficulty will become more difficult as their strength grows.
If possible, Zhang Tao would like to keep this opportunity and use it in a better place in the future.
However, time waits for no one. In this era where everyone is developing rapidly, if he continues to stagnate, he will soon be left behind by others.
"Oh, I hope to get some good things from the "relics", otherwise I will really be eating up all the resources." Thinking of this, Zhang Tao felt a headache. His channels for obtaining resources were very limited. Previously, he mainly relied on selling space rings, but as the players gradually developed, the technology of space rings was also controlled by the players.
Naturally, this business failed.
"In the final analysis, it's because I'm too weak. If I were strong enough, I wouldn't have to be so cautious like I am now, and I wouldn't have to be so scared when doing anything..."
……
at the same time.
The plane of eternal night.
In the dark divine realm.
The dark god sat firmly on the throne, eyes closed, refining the will of the world.
The Space Stone placed deep in the divine realm suddenly lit up, and it was particularly dazzling in this dark and lightless divine realm. Su Xingyu opened his eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he had just woken up.
He glanced at the items, his eyes somewhat helpless, "Why did you come at this time instead of earlier? You are really going to cause trouble for me..."
That being said, one still has to do something. After separating a part of his mind and receiving the information from the Space Stone, Su Xingyu quickly grasped the situation.
"Ten days standard time, that's okay." The information transmitted was very simple, a time and place.
Ten days of main world time, which is nearly a year later, just go there according to the plane coordinates in the information.
One year is a very flexible period of time, and he had already made corresponding arrangements, so there was no need for any preparation.
There was a dark flash in his eyes, and the darkness under his feet surged wildly. Then it gradually solidified, and a huge skeletal body emerged, emitting a terrifying aura.
Looking at the incarnation of death in front of him, Su Xingyu was somewhat dissatisfied. This guy's strength was already quite good, but he still felt that he was not good enough.
After pondering for a moment, he sighed softly, "I've already received all the benefits, so I should still do my best." He then waved his hand, and countless dark divine sources immediately gushed out from the absurdly large pool of faith in the distance, condensing into a black ball above like a torrent.
Su Xingyu raised his hand slightly, and a small vortex appeared in the center of the "black ball" and began to rotate continuously.
As the vortex continued to spin, the black ball became smaller and smaller, and divine power continued to flow into the pool of faith below.
The black ball became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a diamond-shaped crystal about two meters in size, like a shining black gem.
"Although there are still some defects, it should be enough to support it for a while."
Under Su Xingyu's control, the diamond-shaped crystal shot towards the skeletal skeleton and eventually merged into its body, like a human heart, fixed in the chest.
Separate part of your spiritual consciousness and directly integrate it into the incarnation of death in front of you.
"Then we just have to wait until the time comes."
After finishing everything, Su Xingyu looked tired. He closed his eyes and continued to refine the will of the world.
The white skeleton stood by, like a loyal guard, protecting the safety of his master.
……
Ice world.
The realm of ice and snow.
A silver-haired woman with a beautiful face and a cold temperament sat on the throne. She was wearing a white dress and looked like an elf living in a world of ice and snow, ethereal and dreamy.
She closed her eyes tightly and was also refining the will of the world.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly, took the Space Stone from the pile of debris in the distance, and after receiving the information, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief:
"finally come."
She doesn't really like owing people things, so if it can be completed early, it's better to complete it as soon as possible.
After a while, a powerful incarnation of divine power appeared in front of Him. This incarnation was made of blue crystals and had a set of semi-artifacts on his body. It was very powerful.
"A powerful demigod's incarnation should be enough to deal with it." Looking at the incarnation in front of her, the woman whispered to herself, and then ignored it and began to concentrate on refining the will of the world.
……
Within the half plane.
In a palace that looks like a giant city, there is a continuous mountain range. When you get closer, you will find that it is not a mountain, but a ferocious black dragon.
The huge black dragon opened his eyes, and his body, more majestic than a mountain, moved slowly. When he woke up, the whole palace was shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
The black dragon awakened, and the servants waiting outside quickly rushed in and saluted respectfully:
"Your Majesty the Dragon King."
"No need to be polite." Tian Mo shook his head, as if he was clearing his mind. After a while, he looked down at the elf in front of him.
"Go and bring Abekel here."
"As you command, Your Majesty." The elf replied respectfully, and then quickly left the palace.
Not long after, the elf returned, bringing with him a strong man with two horns on his head.
"My lord." As soon as the strong man saw Tian Mo, he knelt on one knee, very respectful.
"Abekel, I have a dangerous mission that I need you to complete..."
