Lin Jiufeng looked at the angry fake King of War and couldn’t help but be a little curious about the real King of War.
He asked the General Appointing Platform, “Who exactly is the King of War?”
The General Appointing Platform’s main body floated in the air. There was a phantom standing on its main body. It was a majestic-looking figure. It didn’t have a true face, and its black hair draped over its shoulders. This was the condensed will of the General Appointing Platform in human form.
The General Appointing Platform looked at the fake King of War. He didn’t make any extra movements. Just now, he had used a drop of the blood essence of a supreme powerhouse with all his might and had already crushed the source energy of this sword in front of him.
The current fake King of War was already in the last few minutes of his life.
“I’ve never seen the King of War himself, but his deeds were widely spread in that war. The King of War once defeated the Seven Races of the Ancient Age alone,” the General Appointing Platform said softly.
The fake King of War who was roaring angrily just now also calmed down at this moment. It seemed that the King of War mentioned by the General Appointing Platform had evoked his former memories. He took a deep breath and said, “The King of War is an absolute powerhouse from ancient times. Only Great Emperor Shakyamuni can compare to him.”
“You were created by the King of War. In that case, you should know the life of the King of War.” Lin Jiufeng looked at the fake King of War with an exploratory gaze.
“I don’t know!” The fake King of War shook his head.
“Tell us about the King of War’s life. I will teach you the evolution method of the weapons that I once studied and won’t hurt you anymore. With the strength of your main body, the foundation that the King of War left for you, and the path of the evolution of the weapons and magic treasures that we have developed, you will be able to recover to your peak in less than ten years and take another step forward.” The General Appointing Platform offered a generous reward.
“Really?” The fake King of War was tempted.
No one was willing to truly die.
He originally thought that after so many years of bitter cultivation and coupled with the fact that the General Appointing Platform had lost too much strength in that war, he was now completely confident in defeating the General Appointing Platform. Therefore, he was the first to rush out of the center of the valley and come here.
But who would have thought that the outcome would be so tragic? His source energy had already shattered. If he still didn’t repair it soon, there would be no chance at all. Therefore, facing the reward or temptation of the General Appointing Platform, he was directly tempted.
“Of course, I’ve always heard of the King of War. In that war, the Seven Races of the Ancient Age also regarded the King of War as their number one enemy. They have always believed that the King of War didn’t really die and would definitely come out of seclusion in that war. Therefore, most of their power was saved and locked onto the King of War who hadn’t appeared.” The General Appointing Platform shared a piece of the past. This was also something that had just appeared in his memory. He hadn’t remembered it before. With the conversation involving the King of War, he remembered this portion of the past.
“How many years ago was that war? Did the King of War really appear?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.
He needed to figure out whether the war that the General Appointing Platform participated in was the destruction of the Spell Realm, the Formation Realm, or an even older era.
“I don’t remember the specific age. Most of the time, I stayed in the Weapon Armory Valley. It was just that during that war, someone entered the Weapon Armory Valley and asked the few King Lords in the Weapon Armory Valley for help. Some agreed, some rejected, and some didn’t respond at all. As for me, I agreed to that person and brought a portion of powerful weapons with me to participate in that catastrophe,” the General Appointing Platform said slowly.
As the conversation continued and after the battle just now, the memories in his mind seemed to have been activated. Images of the past constantly appeared in his mind, causing him to recall them.
“Then, did the King of War appear in the end?” The fake King of War asked anxiously.
“You are a weapon and magic treasure forged by the King of War. You should know best whether the King of War is alive or dead.” Lin Jiufeng looked at the fake King of War, confused.
“I… Although I was created by the King of War and had also spent a period of time by the King of War’s side, the weapons and magic treasures created by the King of War were a total of 365 swords. I’m just one of these swords, so I have no idea whether the real King of War is alive or dead.” The fake King of War hesitantly shared this past.
In a certain period of time in the past, the real King of War had used a heaven-defying technique to create 365 longsword magic treasures. Each of these magic treasures was at the strength of the Immortal Emperor Realm or above. Some of these swords, at their peak, had even surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm.
This sword, the current fake King of War, was one of them.
“365? This isn’t just a normal number of swords, but a number used for array formations.” Lin Jiufeng immediately deduced that only when used to set up array formations would there be so many longsword magic treasures used.
“Then what about the other 364 swords?” The General Appointing Platform asked.
“They collapsed in that battle.” The fake King of War sighed.
“Which battle was it?” Lin Jiufeng asked solemnly.
It was obvious that the battle that the fake King of War mentioned wasn’t the same battle as the General Appointing Platform.
“There was a war in the years before the General Appointing Platform and the others left the Weapon Armory Valley. There weren’t many people in that war, but it was extremely tragic. The King of War and the reincarnation of Great Emperor Shakyamuni joined forces to resist the enemy. The King of War created 365 longswords and set up the Massive Heavenly Cycle Star Array Formation. He joined forces with the reincarnation of Great Emperor Shakyamuni to attack. But in the end, they still failed. The Massive Heavenly Cycle Star Array Formation was shattered, and only I was forced out by the impact at the moment the array formation was shattered.”
“After I was forced out, I personally witnessed the reincarnation of Great Emperor Shakyamuni disappear into thin air. The King of War also died on that battlefield. In my despair, I didn’t appear in the mortal realm. Instead, I walked outside the world in a daze and finally came to the Weapon Armory Valley.”
“After that, the few King Lords in the Weapon Armory all wanted to accept me. Only the General Appointing Platform remained indifferent to me throughout. At that time, I wanted to prove to the General Appointing Platform that as a weapon personally crafted by the King of War, the General Appointing Platform isn’t much nobler than me. Give me time and I will definitely surpass the General Appointing Platform.”
“Then, another huge battle broke out. A person from the outside world found the Weapon Armory Valley and hoped that the other King Lords in the Weapon Armory Valley would go out to help. But many divine weapons refused. The General Appointing Platform agreed to his request and left with its subordinates. At that time, I firmly believed that they would never return. Sure enough, since then, the General Appointing Platform never returned.”
“The former King of War failed. The reincarnation of the once invincible Great Emperor Shakyamuni also failed, as well as the General Appointing Platform. The people after that also failed one after another. The Seven Races of the Ancient Age are too powerful, so hiding in the Weapon Treasury Valley is the correct choice.”
The fake King of War didn’t hide anything and shared everything he knew.
After hearing this, Lin Jiufeng lowered his eyes and pondered silently.
The fake King of War shared plenty of key information.
There had once been several battles in this world, and the mortal realm had also changed several times.
Just from what Lin Jiufeng knew, there was the current mortal realm, the Immortal Court and God Race from 20,000 years ago, and there was also the Spell Realm from an even older era. Before the Spell Realm was the Formation Realm.
And now, Lin Jiufeng knew that the General Appointing Platform had once participated in a catastrophe that swept through the mortal realm. Before the General Appointing Platform, the King of War had also had a conflict with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age.
Moreover, at that time, there was also the reincarnation of Great Emperor Shakyamuni.
Even when the King of War and Great Emperor Shakyamuni joined forces, they still couldn’t resist the Seven Races of the Ancient Age?
Were the Seven Races of the Ancient Age really that powerful?
Lin Jiufeng’s heart was shrouded in a shadow.
Moreover, Great Emperor Shakyamuni’s true existence was 100,000 years ago. At that time, he was at his peak. But when he joined forces with the King of War, he was already a reincarnation.
This meant that the King of War and Great Emperor Shakyamuni weren’t from the same era.
100,000 years ago, it was Great Emperor Shakyamuni. Then, it was the King of War. Then, it was the General Appointing Platform and the others. Then, it should be the Formation Realm. Then, it was the Spell Realm, followed by the Immortal Court and the God Race. Finally, it was the current mortal realm.
Lin Jiufeng slowly straightened out the timeline of the past 100,000 years.
Now, he still had another question that hadn’t been answered. Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform and asked, “Previously, when you said that during the battle, the Seven Races of the Ancient Age were very vigilant against the appearance of the King of War. Then, did the King of War really appear in the end?”
This question made the fake King of War very curious. He stared fixedly at the General Appointing Platform.
The round-faced sword heard the entire process. It was very shocked in its heart. At this moment, it was also looking at the General Appointing Platform with a curious expression.
“No. In that war, the King of War never appeared from the beginning to the end. It wasn’t until the end that the Seven Races of the Ancient Age confirmed the death of the King of War. They even said that it was impossible for him to continue lingering like a ghost like Shakyamuni,” the General Appointing Platform said.
“The King of War really died.” The fake King of War sighed, feeling depressed.
Although he had grudges with the General Appointing Platform, he still respected and loved the King of War. After all, the King of War gave him life..
