The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

They successfully tamed a beast with king-level potential in one go.

Zeng Shen smiled slightly, not finding it strange at all.

After all, he possessed intermediate-level taming skills, and this beast was in its current state, making it the easiest to tame.

Just as Zeng Shen was thinking this.

He then saw a castle made of black stones appear in the woods not far away.

The castle walls are twenty meters high, and vines that emit a ghostly blue light spread across the battlements and walls, giving it an eerie and sinister feel.

As Auglio and her companions approached the city gate, a group of intelligent races slowly emerged from within.

Leading the group was the Dark Elf male priest, Arcane Gold.

To her right was a girl with delicate features, skin as smooth as jade, black hair like a waterfall, a straight nose, lips as red as blood, and narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes as deep as the night, with mysterious purple light flashing in her pupils like stars in the night sky. She wore a black crystal ornament on her forehead, within which seemed to flow with shadowy power, occasionally flashing with an eerie light, adding to her mysterious aura.

The girl had long, slender fingers with nails like jade pieces, and each finger was adorned with a ring inlaid with black gemstones, each gemstone seemingly imprisoning a dark soul.

Upon seeing these black gemstone rings, Zeng Shen instantly remembered that the girl was Shadow Elf Chieftain Shadow Shadow, and one of the two King-level talents in the Oclon Divine Realm.

Yingyou was tall and slender with a graceful figure. She wore a long black robe that flowed with a faint light, and her long, beautiful legs were faintly visible under the hem of the robe, which added to her mystery and charm.

When Aoandon and Shadowraze reached Ogri'o, they both glanced at the Black Bull Serpent bound in a state of suspended animation and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“Chief Ogrio, after we’ve set up the revival ceremony, we’ll have a few of them continue to maintain it. Then we’ll go with the priest to support you in capturing this Black Wild Bull Python,” Shadow said as she stepped forward.

“This black bull python has thick skin and can frequently use spatial techniques to escape, which took us a lot of time to capture,” Augrio said.

O'Danjin nodded slightly and said, "Now that we have captured the Black Wild Bull Python, let's quickly sacrifice it to the Black Spirit Pool and wait for our god to resurrect the Divine Messenger."

not far away.

As Zeng Shen listened to their conversation, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

He gleaned a message from their conversation.

That means the messenger of Oclon has died, and the Black Bull Python needs to be sacrificed to revive him.

How could this messenger of Oclon have died in just a few days?

Could it be that he was attacked and killed by Mos's followers during the invasion of Mos's realm?
As Zeng Shen was pondering this, Ogrio, O'Danjin, Shadow Ghost, and their clansmen, carrying the captured Black Wild Bull Python, quickly walked towards the gate.

Once they were all inside the castle walls, Zeng Shen quickly approached the gate and rushed inside.

As soon as we entered the castle.

He sensed a sense of chaos about the castle; it resembled a disorganized, unplanned camp inhabited by various dark races.

There were gigantic, one-eyed giants with skin as rough as rock, wielding enormous wooden clubs and constantly emitting muffled roars for no apparent reason. But a single glance from a group of short, curse-wielding dark dwarves silenced them.

These dark dwarves preferred to stay in the corners of the camp, engrossed in their own research on curses, their eyes occasionally flashing with an eerie light as they stared at the caves in the nearby ground. These caves were inhabited by many cave demons.

Both the Cave Demons and the Dark Elves are among the earliest intelligent races born within the ancient Black Spirit Tree.

But they are the complete opposite of the dark elves.

Dark elves are all handsome men and beautiful women, possessing powerful long-range archery skills and remarkable intelligence. They are among the elite races of the divine realm, but their reproductive ability is extremely poor, and they are basically born from the divine realm.

The cave demons, except for a very few with somewhat handsome and normal faces, are mostly rough and ferocious, with fangs and sharp teeth. However, they have an extremely strong reproductive ability, but their intelligence is extremely low, and they only know how to act recklessly.

Therefore, over time, even though their population was half that of the total population of the Dark God Realm, they were still considered one of the lowest-ranking intelligent races.

Normally, they are either in charge of planting tasks in the Dark God Realm, doing manual labor, or serving as the vanguard in battle.

therefore.

They emanated a foul stench from time to time, their burly bodies were covered with battle scars, some had cursed patterns all over their skin, and they would occasionally show signs of pain or become delirious.

Clearly, some of them have become experimental subjects for the dark dwarves to study sorcery.

As Zeng Shen observed all the intelligent races within the castle, he followed Ogrio and the others to the center of the castle, to a heavily guarded temple marked "Dark Temple."

The temple floor was paved with black stone slabs, covered with black runes and bloody sacrificial patterns.

In the center of this temple.

A group of clan leaders and priests from various tribes of Oklon believers were sitting around a huge black spiritual pool, their bodies releasing their respective energies, which were constantly flowing into the black pool.

And in that vast and deep Black Spirit Pool, a female corpse was quietly floating.

The female corpse had an exquisitely beautiful face, with a straight and elegant nose, slightly upturned lips, and eyebrows like distant mountains. Beneath her tightly closed eyes were long and thick eyelashes, like butterfly wings.

The female corpse had a firm chest and snow-white skin with a strange, bluish sheen. Her cascading black hair floated gently in the rippling water. Her slender, delicate body rose and fell in the pool, her graceful curves inspiring endless fantasies.

however.

What caught Zeng Shen's attention most was the pair of huge black wings on her back, smooth and shimmering with a mysterious black light.

At this moment, although this creature no longer had any life force, its wings still exuded a powerful and alluring charm that Zeng Shen found irresistible, as if they could unfold at any moment and carry their master soaring through the sky.

"Could this female corpse be Oklon's messenger? And is this pool the Black Spirit Pool they spoke of, capable of reviving the messenger?"

Zeng Shen made a slight guess in his mind, and then threw a Peeping Eye at the Black Spirit Pool.

[Black Spirit Pool: An exclusive wonder, a special wonder born from the ancient Black Spirit Tree. Any being born from this wonder can be revived by sacrificing another being of a matching attribute, along with a large number of wonder fragments and a small number of divine essence fragments of the same attribute.]

"Indeed, this is the Black Spirit Pool. Then that female corpse must be Oklon's messenger!"

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, then cast a spying glance at the female corpse. (End of Chapter)
