…
"What the hell?"
Roger was surprised.
"Your offspring, your bloodline, can inherit the power or bloodline of the murderous tyrant ..."
Yingyue's face was filled with undisguised enthusiasm.
"This request may be a bit excessive and abrupt, but the Shadow Realm does need you or your bloodline..."
"We have been following you for a long time!"
"But you are still unwilling to set foot in this territory that should belong to you..."
"In the past, we have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for you to remember this territory again, and now, we have finally waited..."
Speaking of this.
There was more solemnity and seriousness in her tone:
"High-ranking Lord Yingyue, on behalf of the 72 high-ranking lords of the Shadow Realm and billions of shadow creatures, I beg His Majesty the Tyrant to regain control of the Shadow Realm..."
"If you don't want to, that's fine, but please at least let us keep your offspring."
"Because this concerns the survival of the Shadow Realm!"
"As long as you nod, I or other females among the 72 Lords can accommodate your power... Of course, if the request is for a man or a third gender, it is not impossible..."
"In short, the Shadow Realm has been longing for your presence for too long!"
…
Yingyue's words confused Roger.
At one point he thought the other party was cheating.
But time has passed.
He discovered that Yingyue was actually sincere!
Now.
He pulled Yingyue who was in a frenzy.
We came over to have a more in-depth communication.
It was a long time later.
Roger finally figured out the situation.
…
turn out to be.
Everything Yingyue said is true.
The chaotic and power-hungry Shadow Realm has been longing for a powerful leader to regain control of this fractured world.
For a long time in the past.
Civil wars are frequent in the Shadow Realm.
The current 72 high-level lords have reached a preliminary alliance.
But private wars remain common.
This situation will not improve until the true Shadow King is determined.
But the shadow creatures knew it well.
Based on the sub-plane laws of the Shadow Realm.
It is impossible for native shadow creatures to ascend to the Shadow Throne.
That authority is destined to hang high above the heads of all living beings.
Become a source of chaos.
in this case.
Finding a target who could compete for the Shadow Throne became an important task for the 72 Lords.
Although the lords may not be willing in their hearts.
But this is the mission given to them by the throne.
As a member of the Shadow Realm.
They couldn't possibly resist.
In the past few epochs.
The Shadow Throne also briefly welcomed some contenders.
Unfortunately, most of these people have disappeared in the dust of history.
Few can truly digest the power of the Shadow Throne.
Thereby giving new vitality to this mysterious and quiet world.
Due to the lack of a world authority holder.
The Shadow Realm has always been passive in dealing with the pressure and invasion of the outside world.
Especially in recent eras.
The expansion of Abyss and Purgatory is too obvious.
The Shadow Realm, which is also a rift world and a neighbor, is naturally the first to be hit.
In just a few epochs.
The area of ​​the Shadow Realm has shrunk by two-thirds since its peak.
This is unacceptable to the competitive shadow creatures.
Many shadow creatures try to break the laws of the sub-plane.
There are also some special individuals who have achieved success.
But this cannot change the current situation in the Shadow Realm at all.
Therefore, finding someone who has the ability to hold the Shadow Throne has become the top priority for the high-level creatures in the Shadow Realm.
Just at this moment.
The title of the Killing Tyrant entered the vision of the 72 Lords.
According to Yingyue.
A long time ago.
The Shadow Realm is already keeping an eye on Roger.
At that time, Roger was still adventuring in the southern cemetery.
The Assassin's League he came into contact with was a branch of the Shadow Realm in Mystra.
Initially, the Assassin's League wanted to invite Roger to join.
But unfortunately Roger showed amazing strength and his attitude was too strong.
Therefore, the Assassin's League no longer acts rashly.
On the contrary, it was because of Cisco.
The Assassins' League mistakenly believed that Roger had discovered their identities and issued a warning.
So far.
The Shadowlands mistakenly believed that Roger had harshly rejected their invitation.
This made them feel panic.
They didn't dare to contact Roger again rashly.
I can only wait in secret for Roger's call.
Time goes by day by day.
Just after Roger cultivated into the killing status.
The lords of the Shadow Realm all felt that the end was finally here!
Because Shadow is the best partner for killing.
The Shadow Throne also possesses a portion of the blessing of the killing status.
They felt that Roger would definitely step into the Shadow Realm.
Then the two sides will have room to reconnect.
But who knew that so many years would pass in a flash.
Roger only entered the shadow world occasionally when he used the shadow springboard.
At other times, it never went deep enough!
This made the 72 lords very embarrassed.
It should be noted that there is no summoning or positioning from the main material world.
No matter how powerful the shadow creatures are, they cannot interfere with the real world .
And accompanied by a major change in the binary star pattern.
The influence of the Shadow Realm on the Binary Stars also declined.
They couldn't get through to Roger.
All I can do is keep waiting.
This wait has lasted until now.
God knows how excited the shadow creatures were when Roger issued the first bounty order!
Yingyue is the closest.
It's also the one that rushes the fastest!
…
"I was wondering why so many people accepted my bounty order right after it was released...it turns out they have been following me in secret all along!"
After verifying Yingyue's statement with the original body.
Roger still felt a little weird.
But he quickly adjusted his self-perception.
After all, the Shadow Realm is indeed the best helper for assassins.
If before I killed the Mask of Killing.
If the creatures of the Shadowlands had other options.
So after this battle.
They really only had Roger as their only candidate.
At least that's the case on binary stars.
…
"You are so eager to let me take over the Shadow Throne. You must have encountered something else, not just the invasion of the Abyss and Purgatory..."
Roger looked at Yingyue with burning eyes.
The latter admitted frankly:
…
"If it's just because of the invasion of the Abyss and Purgatory.
We won't rush to find you.
The Shadowlands has a long history.
As shadow creatures with infinite lifespans, we are also very patient.
Normally.
We will all continue to wait.
But things are different now.
The swirling creatures have accelerated the encroachment of the Shadowlands.
More and more Shadow People are transformed into vortex creatures!
We are still in control of the situation at the moment.
But I gradually felt that I was unable to cope with it.
We once asked for help from the heavens.
But there was no response.
Maybe it’s just as those ancient lords guessed—the situation in heaven may not be better than ours!
Even worse...
In short, if no one can use the power of the Shadow Throne to correct the laws of the sub-plane.
Then the vortex creatures will completely swallow up the Shadow Realm.
And use this as a springboard to intervene in the present world..."
…
Hear this.
Roger couldn't help but think of something else.
He couldn't help but ask Yingyue:
"What kind of agreement did the Abyss and Purgatory reach with the vortex creatures? Why were they willing to let their territory be invaded by the vortex creatures?"
"We have also conducted internal research and investigation on this issue. Unfortunately, we did not come to a particularly clear conclusion. However, demon lords and high-level devils are the embodiment of evil and chaos. Now that a distortion is added, it does not seem to be out of place...
What we can be sure of is.
The will of the abyss has been completely filled with distorted matter.
The situation in Purgatory seems to be better..."
"But we are different. We are shadows. Shadows are born with the sun. We have our own order, and this order will never be allowed to be trampled upon by distorted matter!"
These words.
Yingyue's words were powerful.
It can be regarded as a statement of determination on behalf of the Shadow Realm.
Roger couldn't help but nodded.
He considered it.
The Shadowlands is a very special sub-plane.
If you can get it.
Maybe we can indirectly gain insight into the conditions of other planets.
It is also very suitable as a buffer zone to resist the invasion of distorted matter.
in addition.
Shadow Persons and Authority are the best partners for killing.
As long as this isn't a trap.
It wouldn't hurt for him to take a trip to the Shadow Realm.
But not now.
So Roger said to Yingyue:
"It's useless to leave my offspring to you. He may not be able to inherit my power. What's more, I have no plans to leave my bloodline behind..."
Speaking of this.
He saw the light in Yingyue's eyes fade away little by little.
He could vaguely sense a sense of regret.
Roger pretended not to know and continued:
…
"But I will consider going to the Shadow Realm. I hope you can prepare in advance for more information about the fight for the Shadow Throne..."
…
"clear!"
Yingyue said excitedly:
"No Star Lord has ever been willing to become the king of the Shadow Realm. If you are really willing to condescend to the Shadow Throne, that would be great!"
"This is the Shadow God Stone. There is a coordinate inside. Once you enter the Shadow Realm, you only need to tap this stone gently and it will teleport you to my palace. I will be waiting for you in the Shadow Realm at any time!"
As she spoke, she handed a small round stone to Roger.
Roger nodded and accepted it.
The two chatted for a while.
Yingyue said that her time in the world has come to an end.
Roger gave her an upgraded weapon.
It counts as a reward for the bounty order.
Yingyue can't be used though.
But he still accepted it with a happy look on his face.
After seeing Yingyue off.
Roger just had time to deal with the situation at Black Star Gate.
…
“Hint: You have obtained a Red Dust Pill!
…
You have obtained the magic weapon 'Forgiveness Furnace'!"
…
In the demon-sealing pit.
Roger stared coldly at the alchemy furnace that was overturned on the ground.
In his hand he was holding a pill that was glowing red.
This is the Red Dust Pill refined by the Black Star Sect!
The data bar is displayed.
This Red Dust Pill can increase a large amount of XP after taking it!
It can also provide a large amount of Qi to the user.
But the price of all this is...
It will take countless lives to fill the gap!
A red dust pill.
It takes the flesh and blood of at least thousands of monsters to condense!
Except for the monster.
Every Red Dust Pill will sacrifice a normal person’s life during the final pill tribulation!
Such a cruel act made Roger feel deeply uncomfortable.
You know.
In the storage items of the corpse demon Zhang Kai.
He found more than a dozen Red Dust Pills!
According to Zhang Daoyun and others.
More Red Dust Pills have been taken by Zhang Kai himself !
After knowing this.
Roger felt extremely sorry about Zhang Kai's death at Yingyue's hands - although these monsters could no longer be considered human, killing and eating them were two completely different things, at least that was how Roger felt.
What’s more, normal people were also affected in the process!
…
"When did he start using humans to make pills?"
Roger asked Zhang Daoyun.
The latter had a pale face, but his mind was still clear - the rest of the people had been frightened by today's incident, especially after Roger forcibly terminated the alchemy process. Everyone from the Black Star Gate had suffered varying degrees of injuries and could not speak clearly.
…
“I can’t remember clearly.
Ever since the monster appeared in the wilderness.
My uncle's condition is very strange.
He was originally a Qi-cultivating practitioner from a side sect.
The realm is not high.
That's why he didn't become a monster.
At the beginning, we hid together from here and there to avoid the monster's pursuit.
Later, my uncle seemed to have encountered something alone.
He disappeared for two months.
He found us two months later.
But the whole person has changed.
The temperament becomes cruel and vicious.
Moreover, he didn't know where he got this method of using human lives to make elixirs.
We were all very exclusive.
There is no way.
He is much stronger than us.
…
When forcibly forming the Black Star Gate.
He told us that he had someone behind him to support him.
To be honest.
At that time we all suspected that he was crazy.
But he did have some nefarious tricks at his disposal.
We survive because of this.
But I also did a lot of bad things..."
…
Speaking of this.
Zhang Daoyun turned his head away with some guilt.
Roger glanced at everyone present.
There are eight Black Star disciples in total.
Each one of them is in a state of corpse transformation and ascension.
Although their realm is very unstable.
The actual combat capability will also be greatly reduced.
But it’s an upgrade after all!
…
Roger understood:
"You have all eaten the Red Dust Pill, right?"
Sweat broke out on Zhang Daoyun's forehead.
Nodded.
The people who were not quite awake just now were all shocked when they heard this.
They argued:
"He forced us to eat it!"
"If we don't eat it, he's going to kill me!"
"Yes, yes, yes! If I don't eat it, the leader will turn me into a Red Dust Pill!"
Looking at the panic-stricken people from the Black Star Gate.
Roger shook his head secretly in his heart.
They are also a group of pitiful and sad people.
They are all upgraders.
But no one has the will to fight!
These people are the tools recruited by the corpse demon Zhang Kai!
The purpose is to help him collect monsters in the wilderness and refine elixirs!
These people have lost the spirit and energy of a normal person.
The only difference between him and a monster is that he still has his sanity.
Even Zhang Daoyun, who was in the best condition, was far inferior to the young men in the Self-Help Association.
Think of this.
Roger knew what to do next.
He destroyed the "Forgiveness Furnace" which was specially used to refine life-threatening elixirs at the fastest speed.
Then prepare to destroy all the Red Dust Pills.
But at this moment.
Zhang Daoyun suddenly stopped him and said:
"Senior! The origin of this Red Dust Pill is very strange. If you want to eat it, it's fine. But if you want to throw it away or destroy it, it will attract evil beasts!"
Roger held a Red Dust Pill in his hand.
Said calmly:
"Really? Then let me see what kind of evil beast I can attract!"
Speaking of.
He crushed the Red Dust Pill on the spot!
roar!
A strange roar was heard.
The powder of Red Dust Pill soared in the wind!
Immediately following.
Out of the powder emerged a mass of flesh with countless arms and heads!
…
"Warning: You have encountered a mortal beast!"
…
"Warning: You have sensed the hatred of the will of the abyss!"
…
