End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1434 - Master or Prisoner



Chapter 1434: Master or Prisoner

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

An illusionary world had been established based on the laws of the Kingdom of Nightmares with memories that would remain even if the world was destroyed. Uther had been trapped in such a world.

The bloody ball of light was the source of the illusionary world. It was attached to the illusionary world, but remained independent from it, so nobody who entered the world could possibly escape. Even though they were aware of the bloody ball of light’s existence, they only had a couple of seconds to suppress it before the world’s destruction.

If they were unable to suppress the bloody ball of light during the three seconds, the memories that were printed on the bloody ball of light would burst out again, and form another illusionary world.

In the world’s destruction, even the level-9 Heaven Rank experts would’ve been killed. Nobody could’ve possibly survived unless they could resist the laws of the Kingdom of Nightmares.

Uther was indeed sort of the master of the illusionary world, but he was also a prisoner in it…

Lin Yun unhurriedly injected some of his magic power into the Book of Death. He received a lot of information.

It was the Chapter of Blood, also known as the Chapter of Immortality…

Whoever had it would never cease to live. Their life would never come to an end, even including the undead creatures.

It was the opposite to the Chapter of the Dead. The Chapter of Blood could turn an undead creature into a living one that nobody could see through. Like the Chapter of the Dead, the Chapter of the Dead transformed undead creatures into living creatures by resurrecting them.

The Chapter of Blood was not found until the end. Bane was the one who found it in the Plane of the Undead after conquering it, but nobody knew where he found it.

The Chapter of Blood’s ability was not found out until Bane disappeared and his journal was dug out.

For a long time, it had been competed over. After all, it was itself a very special magic tool, and could be used even without the Book of Death.

Whoever had the Chapter of Blood would be immortal. They wouldn’t die even if their life came to an end. They could turn themselves into an undead creature, and then revive with the Chapter of Blood. They would live forever.

For undead creatures, the item was even more valuable. Undead creatures leveled up very fast in the early phase. All they had to do was swallow soul fires. They could easily reach level 40 from a level-10 skeleton.

After they became extraordinary, if they continued swallowing soul fires, they would be able to rise to level 46 or level 47 quickly. Their advancement could be 10 times faster than Lin Yun’s.

But that was basically their upper limit. After that, no matter how they swallowed soul fires, they couldn’t advance very fast. Also, the higher in level they were, the slower they would level up. It was possible that they might get stuck for 10,000 years.

Some undead creatures might have plateaued in level 49 for tens of thousands of years. Even though they were said to be immortal, they could never rise higher.

Human mages only had limited longevity, but they leveled up by grasping laws instead of swallowing soul fires or death marks. Given enough time, they would always progress as they grasped more laws, even if their progress was much slower than their aging.

The mages who had run out of their potential were still able to understand laws. It was just that their understanding was too slow to keep up with their aging, so they would die of old age first, or perish when they looked for opportunities.

The slowness was unacceptable for human beings, but for the undead creatures that didn’t make any progress for tens of thousands of years, it was the greatest blessing.

They could revive with the Chapter of Blood, and turn into a living creature. With their level advantage, they could understand laws much faster than mages. However long it might take, they could always grasp a law perfectly.

After that, they could make a breakthrough to level 50 with the laws they grasped. Then, they could come back and work on the law of death, which would be much easier. Although it was slow, the last thing that the undead creatures were short of was time…

The Chapter of Blood was something that even the King of the Undead wanted to have.

Also, it couldn’t be destroyed. Technically speaking, it couldn’t be destroyed in any world that had lives. It would exist as long as there were lives.

Even though the Kingdom of Nightmares had strange laws, it was not a world without living creatures. The peripheral world and the deeper world were both part of a complete world.

The Chapter of Blood was attached to the back of the illusionary world, which minimized the damage from the world’s destruction. It would never be destroyed in the world’s destruction.

At first, Lin Yun didn’t realize the existence of the Chapter of Blood. However, after watching Uther turn into an undead creature, Lin Yun reached the impossible conclusion. All the impossibilities constituted this impossible world.

The Chapter of Blood, suppressed by the Book of Death, would be gradually melted into it. After all, as a component of the Book of Death, it couldn’t really resist after being pressed into the Book of Death. The Chapter of Blood was powerful, but only slightly more powerful than other components. Having absorbed almost 10 components, it was easy for the Book of Death to subdue the Chapter of Blood.

After the Chapter of Blood was suppressed, endless information and memories were transmitted from the Book of Death. Lin Yun read the memories with a weird expression.

Someone had indeed been trapped in the illusionary world. To be more exact, it was a soul, and he was the one who trapped himself there.

No prisoner in this place could possibly escape. Even if he had come here in person, he couldn’t have freed his own soul.

What was trapped here was a god’s soul, or whatever was left of it.

There were no memories of him as a god. The flashback began in the Nesser Dynasty. All the 72 gods perished at the end of the age of gods, but not all of them were completely dead. The Lord of War was the only one who didn’t have any chance to stage a comeback.

The gods were reborn. Some were reborn in the abyss as demons. They were gradually promoted as demon lords and overlords. Some other gods were completely killed before they could grow up.

In Noscent, a god was reborn as a pure-blood elf, and became a Great Elf King. 13 weaker gods were reborn as Chromatic Dragons, and became the 13 dragon kings.

They created the splendors of pure-blood elves and Chromatic Dragons in the Nesser Dynasty, but they remembered their grievances from the age of gods too.

The abyss, the hell, the Plane of the Undead…

There seemed to be reborn gods in every plane, but very few of them recovered to the point where they could ignite the God Fire. Most of them completely perished. Their soul pieces had fallen apart and scattered across all the planes. They couldn’t possibly revive without someone’s help.

The King of Nightmares perished in the Plane of the Undead, but part of his soul was reborn as an undead creature.

But that was the beginning of the misfortune. Undead creatures below the extraordinary level were unintelligent. They could only evolve and gain their own wisdom, so the King of Nightmares couldn’t pass on his wisdom.

Gradually, his reborn self grew up in the Plane of the Undead. His natural advantages as a reborn god prevented him from dying young. Then, he obtained the Chapter of Blood.

Through the power of the Chapter of Blood, he resurrected himself as a living person named Uther, who was a half elf that carried the black dragon’s and the Flame Elf’s bloodlines…

The undead creature that he was reborn from was exactly a half elf that had been executed and transformed into an undead creature.

When he returned to Noscent, he was hunted by pure-blood elves, who would never stand such a half elf who boasted the Destruction Black Dragon’s bloodline, which was the greatest humiliation for them.

The King of Nightmares’ soul hadn’t woken up yet, but his reborn self already gained its own wisdom. Uther was too flustered to figure out why the pure-blood elves were hunting him. He ran and strengthened himself until he became extraordinary.

Then, the grudge between him and the pure-blood elves grew deeper. At this moment, the King of Nightmares’ soul woke up.

Something unexpected happened. The King of Nightmares’ consciousness was separated from Uther’s, yet they shared the same body. At first, Uther suppressed the King of Nightmares, who was still weak, but then he began to cooperate with the King of Nightmares because he hated the pure-blood elves.

The King of Nightmares loathed the Great Elf King and the 13 dragon kings, and became the one who changed the situation. Uther gradually found the reborn gods.. Then, all the grievances old and new were combined.
