Chapter 241 Awakening, Change (815)
"What happened?"
"what's the situation?"
"What the hell, what's going on? Are there enemies breaking in?"
"There was no warning from the outer city, it must have come from the void"
"Grab your weapons and kill them!"
The imperial citizens of the entire city were a little confused and frightened by this sudden change. There was nothing they could do as Eternal Night City, as the imperial capital, was too peaceful.
After living in peace for so long, anyone would be scared when something like this suddenly happens.
Everyone came to their senses and looked in the direction of the noise, and soon they started talking:
"That seems to be the location of the temple, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey! This is not a joke. Could something have happened to the temple?"
"With the suppression power of the imperial capital, even a strong man at the level of a true god cannot break through the space layer and descend directly here without the permission of the empire."
At the same time, the empire also responded. One by one, extraordinary strong men flew high into the sky and looked towards the location of the sacred mountain. Their faces were full of confusion, and they seemed to have no idea what was going on.
They gathered together, looked at each other, and exchanged ideas:
"What's going on? What happened in the temple?"
"I do not know!"
"I was practicing, and I was almost scared to death!"
"Would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Good idea, let's go together."
Soon, a group of powerful people who were at least at the legendary level reached a unanimous agreement and prepared to go to the temple to find out what was going on.
Boom——
At this moment, there was another loud noise.
With a loud bang, the sky above the temple suddenly exploded.
In the distance, on the ancient sacred mountain, in the temple located at the top of the sacred mountain, a dark light shot up into the sky, and then a terrifying aura that was extremely familiar to all believers of the empire spread out and pressed in all directions. All the strong men only felt their bodies sink, and then fell to the ground in an instant.
At this moment, all flying objects in the city, whether living or dead, lost their ability to fly and fell to the ground like raindrops.
It is also thanks to the strong people living here that they have impressive strength, otherwise if they fell from such a high place, they would be seriously injured if not killed.
Being pressed back to the ground, the crowd showed no anger. After feeling that familiar breath, the faces of all the creatures in the city became fanatical.
"king!"
"My lord!"
"Your Majesty the God!"
"My Lord has awakened!"
Their eyes were filled with tears, they knelt down to pray, and they shouted loudly. The devout believers celebrated the return of the gods in their own way.
The great King of Eternal Night has come to the empire again.
Rumbling--
The dark light above the temple did not diminish due to the shouting of the crowd. The endless dark light rushed up to the sky and then spread to the surroundings. The sky instantly became dim.
It was noon, and the sky, which should have been sunny, was now without a trace of light, as if it was blocked by something.
In just a short while, darkness covered the entire city. The people of Eternal Night City walked out of their homes, looked at the darkness in the sky, and felt the familiar and friendly breath of the gods. They did not panic, but knelt on the ground and began to pray devoutly.
Outside the temple.
Two imperial elders were standing outside waiting, and they looked a little anxious.
Tread-
A young priest ran out of the temple and said respectfully to the two elders:
"His Holiness the Pope invites you."
"Okay, thank you very much."
The two elders nodded slightly, then walked in quickly. After passing through several gates, they arrived at a palace.
The Pope, who did not look young, was dressed in dark golden robes and holding a papal scepter. He stood in the center of the palace and prayed to the statue of the god. The extremely rich dark light that was changing the celestial phenomena was gushing out from this statue.
Seeing that the Pope was praying, the two elders suppressed their anxiety and stood quietly by.
After a while, the Pope finished praying, turned around and looked at the two of them, and asked softly: "Luke, Bell, what do you two want to do with me?"
"Your Highness, the Archon asked me to come and ask about the condition of our Lord. Has he awakened and come to the empire?" The elder named Luke stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"That guy Ulysses."
Upon hearing this, the Pope shook his head and said with a smile, "I am just a servant of your Majesty in the mortal world. When have you ever seen a servant who can spy on his master?"
In today's Eternal Night Empire, the people in power have long been replaced.
The second generation of the empire's governor, Ye San, resigned from his post and gave his position to others after the Eternal Night Empire defeated the Blood Empire and unified the entire plane.
A very capable young man took his place and became the third consul.
Of course, that young man is not the current consul. The third generation of consul served for two terms, and then voluntarily abdicated after twenty years.
When it comes to the current consul, Artison Ulysses, it is already the fifth generation of consuls.
With the constraints of the religion, the replacement of consuls seemed very calm, without any twists and turns, and at most it was just some empty talk.
As for the replacement of Popes, it is relatively slow, and only two have been replaced so far.
"Your Holiness, please stop teasing us."
Elder Bell looked anxious and said quickly: "What a mess it is outside. If we don't give the people of the empire an accurate explanation, they will overturn the Council of Elders!"
"Yes, Your Highness, what happened to the king? You must at least give us an answer so that we can go back and report." Elder Luke said with a worried look on his face.
The celestial phenomena outside have undergone drastic changes. The emotions of the people in the empire have become extremely agitated, and the imperial officials are also in a difficult situation!
"I really don't know if the changes in the celestial phenomena outside were caused by this statue. The king didn't give any oracle, so how would I know what happened!" The Pope shook his head, looked at the two of them, and replied seriously.
"That"
Luke was about to say something.
The eyes of the statue burst into brilliance, and then a figure made of darkness appeared in mid-air. The face could not be seen clearly, but the aura like the abyss and hell made it possible to recognize the identity at a glance.
The King of Eternal Night. "Your Majesty!"
"My lord!"
The three of them saluted hurriedly.
The dark figure nodded slightly, and then said softly: "I have awakened, you can all worship me." Then, without waiting for the three to respond, he flicked his fingers, and a message was transmitted to the Pope's mind.
"Your Majesty orders!"
The Pope bowed again.
The dark figure then turned into light and dissipated, blending into the dark glow and rushing towards the sky.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Luke and the others no longer felt any loss and were about to leave, but the Pope stopped them and said, "Wait a moment."
The Pope looked at the two and said softly, "The changes in the celestial phenomena outside are normal and will last for several days. Go back and tell the Archon to do a good job of appeasing them. Also, inform the entire empire that the Supreme King of Eternal Night has awakened from his slumber. Believers everywhere can hold sacrifices on their own to celebrate our Lord!"
"Yes!"
Luke and the other man replied excitedly.
With the news of the gods' awakening, Luke and his companions returned to the Council of Elders. Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Eternal Night Plane through the Imperial Propaganda Department at the fastest speed.
Joyful sacrifices were held in various places, and the entire plane was immersed in excitement.
As for the changes in celestial phenomena, no one cares about them anymore.
Anyway, it doesn't affect their lives, so it doesn't matter how it changes. What's more, it was caused by His Majesty the God.
Since it was done by His Majesty the God, there must be a reason behind it.
Dark divine realm.
The originally empty divine domain now had a magnificent palace.
The palace has a unique architectural style with a wild beauty. The walls are carved with complex runes and patterns that explain the history of the empire's rise and evolution. Most of the walls are still blank, as if the empire still has a long way to go.
On both sides of the spacious corridor stood tall stone statues. They were carved so lifelike that even the lines on their bodies could be clearly seen.
He is fully armored, holding a shield in his left hand and a huge sword in his right hand. He is like a loyal guard of the gods, protecting the safety of the palace.
At the deepest part of the palace is a magnificent hall with the floor paved with mysterious black crystals. Standing here is like being at the bottom of the abyss.
The dome is supported by huge stone pillars carved with mythical beasts such as dragons and phoenixes. The dome is inlaid with precious gems, and a faint light shines down.
Walk through the corridor and climb the long stairs, where there is a huge throne.
The dark god sat on the throne, supporting his face with one hand, his dark eyes looking forward, as if he could see through the truth and mystery of all things in the world.
"I didn't expect that it has developed to this point in just forty years. The development speed is really outrageous. If the development paths of the two sides were not different, we would have entered the interstellar age!" Feeling the tremendous changes in all aspects of the Eternal Night Empire, Su Xingyu couldn't help but sigh.
After resolving the issue of Shenxing Continent, He devoted himself to refining the world consciousness. Even if he woke up briefly in the middle, he just created an avatar to deal with the matter.
After waking up completely this time, He discovered that the world had undergone tremendous changes again, and it seemed that He could not keep up with the times?
War fortress, sky tower, magic carpet, steel city, all-dimensional teleportation.
It's like hell.
Before He fell asleep, it was still the age of horse-drawn carriages, how come we suddenly arrived at the interstellar age?
To be honest, the current Eternal Night Empire makes him feel a little unfamiliar.
"Although the changes are somewhat big, they are all good things. They are all moving in a good direction, and it is worth it that I laid such a good foundation for them before." After absorbing technologies from many aspects and after so many years of precipitation and development, the Eternal Night Empire successfully combined the extraordinary with technology and became a true magical force.
The citizens of the empire possess extraordinary strength and can use various extraordinary props to maximize their own advantages.
They are not lost in the convenience of props, and what the people of the empire pursue remains unchanged.
Their own extraordinary strength is their ultimate pursuit.
The focus is on transcendence, and everything else is auxiliary. This is the development path of the empire.
"Looking at the situation, it will take more three days for the power of darkness to completely cover the entire Eternal Night Plane." Su Xingyu felt the changes in the external celestial phenomena, muttered to himself, and then checked the specific situation of the Eternal Night Plane and his own changes.
Refining the world consciousness means that he has become the true master of this plane.
Such beings are often called the Lord of the Plane.
After refining the world consciousness, you can actually directly integrate it, so as to completely control the plane, and then continue to strengthen your own plane. As the plane is strengthened, the strength of the lord of the plane will continue to increase. This is also an alternative way to become a god.
Of course, Su Xingyu would definitely not choose this path.
To Him, world consciousness is just a tool that can help Him control the plane more quickly.
Back to the point.
As He refines the world consciousness and controls this plane, many benefits also follow.
The first thing to be affected is the change in environmental elements. Su Xingyu is a dark god, so the attributes of the plane he controls will naturally tend to be dark.
Let’s put it this way, if He wanted, He could even drag the entire plane into a state of complete darkness.
But there is no need for that yet, as too much is as bad as too little.
Even for the dark clan, living in such an extreme environment is not necessarily a good thing.
According to Su Xingyu's prediction, when the situation stabilizes in the future, the dark elements in the plane will be three times denser, five times denser in the city, and ten times denser in the core area.
In addition to the improvement of the dark element, there are also changes in night and day. Su Xingyu adjusted the night time of the entire plane to 16 hours, and the day time was only 8 hours.
This change is tantamount to a catastrophe for the normal plane, and all living beings will be greatly affected.
But the impact on the Eternal Night Plane is not that great, because most of the creatures in this plane have become believers of the dark gods.
They have long adapted to the darkness. It is just a simple change between day and night. It has no impact on them. They just need to adapt in a few days.
In addition to these changes in the plane environment, there are many other improvements, such as large-scale changes to the celestial phenomena, putting the entire world in the most suitable state.
For example, some rainwater from places with heavy precipitation can be adjusted to arid areas, so that both places are at normal levels.
Although He could achieve this before, the consumption was very great, which was equivalent to going against the current.
It’s different now. With the identity of the Lord of the Plane, He can change the celestial phenomena at will with almost no consumption.
In addition, Su Xingyu himself has also improved.
The simplest and most important thing is to improve your strength.
Su Xingyu is still in the demigod realm, but with the blessing of the Eternal Night Plane, he can exert the combat power of a true god.
If he were in the plane of eternal night, he would even have the ability to kill true gods. This improvement is extremely powerful.
