The Truth of Magic

636 Obliterating the mark and reconstructing the long sword

Back when he was searching for the pit fiend, he had barged into the underground Temple of Death and accidentally activated artificial death in the secret chamber of the priests ‘coffins.

After Mystra’s Rose Cross intervened in the temple’s investigation, the artificial death disappeared without a trace.

Then, because of artificial death, the land of the sleeping, which contained countless undead creatures, and the land of the executioners, which was the death God’s demiplane, merged together and trapped Wang Ningwei and asvich. It also allowed Zhao Xu to obtain the death God’s divine persona fragment.

this was the only time he had used a lifestone.

Zhao Xu started to understand that in his previous life, artificial death had never woken up until the very end.

That was why there was no trace of it in the desolate Wildlands, a place where countless people from Earth had died.

However, this time, under the influence of various conditions and with him as a variable, everything was different.

Carrying out a divine duty could increase one’s divine power, just like expanding the number of believers. This was also the reason why the God of War had pushed the orc Empire to go to war everywhere for thousands of years.

This included sisylvana, the goddess of magic. It was another matter whether the mages believed in her or not, but once they lost these mages, the scale of the goddess ‘divine power would definitely be weakened a lot.

Because of this, the moment countless people died in the Wildlands could make Zhao Xu the god of death.

The divine fragment was the key to this.

Therefore, it could also turn this ‘artificial death’ into a real death.

At this moment, Zhao Xu finally realized that things were getting out of hand.

The pit he dug would probably bury him and all the innocent civilians in the Wildlands.

Zhao Xu’s expression instantly changed.

After lacus left his body and fused with Zheng xinyun.

Because Zhao Xu didn’t have to worry about Lux, he only browsed through the reports they had submitted from the daily reports.

But now, the “artificial death” who had never shown his face had come to the Wildlands and directly blocked the gate.

Although he didn’t know whether it was aimed at the “humane paradise,” which was once the weapon of the Grim Reaper, or him, who was once the owner of the divine fragment.

However, no matter what, it meant that Zheng xinyun was in great danger.

“There’s no point in you pulling me in.”

Zhao Xu looked down at the city that was now dead silent and said, ” shouldn’t you be facing this difficult situation? ”

” if it’s not inside the demon king’s device, do you think you have a chance of winning? ”

People Dao paradise shook his head.

you came to this conclusion through the ‘death’ that was just spread? ” Zhao Xu’s expression tensed up a little as he said, ” so you’re saying that you guessed that I would start a massacre to decipher this world? ”

“Life and death are eternal topics. By witnessing death, it’s easy to see the loopholes in this world. You’re heading in the right direction.”

at the same time, the ‘city positioning spell’ that you just cast was beyond my imagination. I didn’t expect that there would be a wizard in Arthur who could replicate such a magical miracle that is comparable to the elves ‘high-level ritual.

“But I still failed.” Zhao Xu was also a little disappointed.

If he had not directly pointed out the other party’s identity, he would definitely still have to go in circles in this dream world and wait for the other party to feel that the opportunity was appropriate.

“It’s very simple. The amount of energy needed to simulate the entire world is indeed too large. But did you consider that? The ‘teleportation spell’ you used to change the scene essentially left a gap for me to make up for. I just have to simulate your destination specifically.”

“i see.”

Zhao Xu suddenly understood.

He thought he had jumped out of the chessboard, but in fact, he had underestimated the devil King’s device. He was still trapped in the game.

It was indeed difficult to simulate the entire world, but it was still within the acceptable range to simulate the area he was currently in.

From the looks of it, he should have been more cautious back then and used [ Swift burst ] or [ time stop ]. That way, he might have been able to reach The World’s End that was not formed before the enemy could react.

my fundamental idea is that I want you to rely on the death in your dream to awaken the remaining Godhead of death in your body and walk towards true immortality. The people Dao paradise let out a clear buzzing sound.

“But clearly, I’ve still underestimated you.”

I might have been a little suspicious just now, but now I’m absolutely sure-”

“You have no intention of becoming a true death god.”

this makes me very curious. Countless people dream of becoming a true God, and even the god of death is one of the most powerful divine powers, but you still aren’t your goal? ”

It was the ” human paradise ” that was born in the hands of the elf main God and had experienced the death god. It could be said that it had experienced the entire history of Arthur. It was hard to imagine at this moment.

There was actually someone who could give up on becoming a god?

in the multiverse, no matter how powerful a being was, becoming a god was undoubtedly the widest shortcut and final path.

“I’m more cautious when it comes to things that I don’t understand.”

Xu Zhao said, shaking his head.

The previous God of Slaughter, Edmund, who was the closest to death, had fallen without a clear reason.

The god of death’s divinity was split into pieces, and each family had a part of it. Which of the chess players behind the scenes wasn’t an existence that could turn Arthur upside down?

That was why Zhao Xu had always seen the death God’s divine fragment as a way out, not the only way out.

Zhao Xu didn’t even have a clear look at the chips on the table before he put everything he had on the line. He wasn’t at the end of his rope yet, so he naturally didn’t have to make a choice.

Not to mention that the death of the Grim Reaper was the final destination. This concept inexplicably lingered in his mind.

“The only way now is for you to stop this artificial death from coming.” The people Dao paradise said.

since you don’t want it, I’ll reset it first, in case these virtual death auras really draw it in ahead of time.

With that, the people Dao paradise waved its pen and instantly, Earth’s timeline reversed.

...

The time backtrack talisman in Zhao Xu’s hand also released a mysterious light that swept across the world and lit up every corner of his vision.

” i’m sorry. i’ll have to borrow the power of your time backtrack amulet. otherwise, it’ll be quite difficult for me to reverse the world line. ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xu saw that the world below him had returned to its original state of life.

The setting sun, which was about to set in the West, seemed to have been pushed back by someone in the sky. It rose to noon again, and the sun rose again.

“If you can control this world, won’t we have a great advantage in battle?” Zhao Xu was surprised.

“No matter how the chessboard is changed, the chess pieces are still the same. This was just a device for the Demon King in Dreamland, not an omnipotent world of wishes. Therefore, you can’t change the situation of the individual, and this dream is helpless against you.”

“Even if I want you to die, I can only make you commit suicide willingly. this is also the limitation of the demon king’s device. after capturing the targets who are trapped in the dream, many self-conceited people want to escape from it and directly commit suicide in the ‘dream’. ”

he didn’t know that this would make his body think that he was really dead, leading to true death.

“Yes.” Zhao Xu nodded.

Since the people Dao paradise wanted to reverse the time, it meant that they needed a quiet environment.

“Do you have any plans that you need me to work with?” Zhao Xu asked.

...

“That’s right.”

At this moment, people Dao paradise let out a deep voice.

“I want you to reforge me.”

“Otherwise, you’ll be controlled?” Zhao Xu immediately understood.

that’s right, the current me is indeed an ‘ancient weapon’, a paradise of humanity. But even if’ death ‘has disappeared for centuries, it still can’t change the indelible mark he left on me.

“As the most direct successor of the death god-artificial death, the moment it met me, it naturally had the right to lead me. With my power just now, I can still control the movements of these liches. When the artificial death obtains me, can you imagine how ridiculous the situation will be?”

” not to mention, it’s about to possess the uncountable number of undead creatures under the savage dead land. ”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but complain.

“I shouldn’t have brought you out in the first place. Is it too late to return the goods now?”

Who knew that people Dao paradise also laughed bitterly, ” do you think I wanted to? ”

” this massive undead tide awakened the artificial death and made it realize that i’m in the depths of the wildlands. It’s impossible to continue to delay by relying on those two old cripples who can’t even save themselves. That’s why I took the opportunity to seek refuge with you.”

Zhao Xu finally understood.

there was no love without reason in this world.

the undead tide, attracting the artificial death, forcing the people’s paradise to come out of the mountain, these things were really happening one after another.

In that case, the undead horde that was surging out from the ground was definitely related to this humanity paradise.

“So don’t think that I’m very relaxed. It’s also a form of destruction to my consciousness to erase the death God’s mark. It’s very likely that I’ll only be able to wake up after a thousand years.”

“Then what are you pursuing?” Zhao Xu asked in return. Wasn’t the other party just asking for trouble?

only you humans have dreams, but the intelligence of our divine weapon doesn’t? ” The people Dao paradise said honestly, ” even if I fall into the hands of the artificial death, I will still be a godly weapon.

but you just unintentionally became the Grim Reaper, so I can trust you. Only you are willing to erase all the aura of the Grim Reaper on me and give up the possibility of becoming a god from me.

“That’s why I’m begging you. When my consciousness returns, please help me transfer my soul and reincarnate as an ordinary living being. I believe that if that’s the case, a heaven of humanity that no longer has anything to do with you would be more worthy of your trust.”

“Alright, it’s a deal.”

Zhao Xu was also very decisive. just tell me how I’m going to make you.

The people Dao paradise immediately sent over an extremely profound piece of “secret information” regarding the forging of divine artifacts that had been passed down from the ancient God system.

“now, you have to think about what face i’ll show in the future.” Humanity paradise asked, ” +5 to kill the long sword? ”

“No,” she said. Zhao Xu shook his head and revealed his white teeth.
