My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 526 The last mission?

The land of the underworld.

This is a world full of darkness and gloom.

It was like a huge cemetery, with dead souls floating everywhere.

Under the dim sky, a stretch of yellow earth spreads for thousands of miles, and desolation and decay fill the world.

In this land of the dead, one can occasionally see some human cities, dotted throughout the desolate land, emitting a dark atmosphere.

The human world here is different from that of other continents. It has no unified country, but only isolated human city-states.

The territory of the underworld is even more mixed with the human world, complementing each other.

In a sense, it can be understood as a special world with necromancers as the core system, where life and death coexist, blend, and even depend on each other.

Therefore, humans in this world do not need to worry about attacks from the Netherworld, because there is no distinction between you and me.

Walking in this territory where life and death are mixed together, Jiang Chen felt as if he had come to the kingdom of the dead. Even when he walked into the so-called human capital, he could see the wandering skeleton guards and the drifting ghosts.

At this moment, he was standing in the middle of a cemetery, with an ancient castle not far away.

There are large red lanterns hanging in the castle, as well as archways full of a special atmosphere.

"It's really a combination of Chinese and Western cultures." Jiang Chen laughed softly.

When we arrived at the castle gate, a disgusting flesh-mountain demon crawled out from the ground.

It said in a dull voice: "You can't enter here."

Jiang Chen sighed: "When I first entered the Chaos Realm, I encountered the Netherworld. I didn't expect that the last time, it would still be the Netherworld."

"How can you be sure that this is your last mission?"

A leisurely voice echoed.

The ghost bride appeared behind him, and behind her graceful figure was a soul-stirring laughter.

This was the first time that she did not come out of Jiang Chen's body.

Jiang Chen was a little surprised: "Did they give you a mission too?"

The ghost bride laughed: "Of course not, I just happened to be here. I mean, pure coincidence?"

coincidence?

Jiang Chen naturally didn't believe it.

Rather than saying it was a pure coincidence, it would be better to say that Xin'er had been waiting for me here for a long time.

So Jiang Chen asked: "And then?"

The ghost bride replied: "That depends on you, and also on what obstacles they set for you."

"No matter what obstacles they face, they are doomed to fail... They keep making mistakes!" Jiang Chen replied.

The ghost bride whispered, "But they can make mistakes countless times, but you can't make a mistake even once."

"Yeah!" Jiang Chen sighed, "There are some questions that I still can't figure out."

Standing in front of the huge abomination, Jiang Chen did not forcefully kill it, but just looked at the ancient castle.

This is the Phantom Fire Library, where there are the three chapters of forbidden pages and the barriers that the system requires him to destroy.

Once completed, he will have done the system a big favor, and will also have collected the four final maps, and can even upgrade Gaia to level 9 - the completion of the Pandora Library mission has upgraded Gaia by one level.

However, facing this last step, Jiang Chen did not take it.

Because for a moment, he also doubted whether he was right or wrong.

Gu Yizhuo was right. His choice might bring about a huge disaster.

Although the means used by the Discipline Tribunal to deal with itself are not bright, you cannot assume that their pursuits are necessarily dark.

In a sense, my help to the system may mean the end of the world.

So when he saw this so-called last step, he became nervous, even a little frightened and lacked confidence.

But soon, he smiled again: "No, this will not be the last step."

The ghost bride also laughed: "Why?"

"Because you have already given me the answer." Jiang Chen said as he stepped into the manor of the ancient castle.

"You can't pass through here!" The abomination roared and waved its arms at Jiang Chen.

When its twisted arm fell towards Jiang Chen, its body suddenly stopped, and then turned into a gray plane and floated down.

In the sky full of ashes, Jiang Chen stepped into the castle manor.

He strolled along the flowery paths until he came to the castle gate.

The door opened with a creak.

Jiang Chen stood at the door, and a huge portrait came into view.

It was an oil painting, and in the painting was a woman who looked like Mona Lisa, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Then the woman in the portrait moved her lips: "If you can't be sure that you are right, why do you insist on doing this?"

Jiang Chen replied: "You should ask, what exactly makes me unsure?"

The woman in the portrait fell silent.

She just stared at Jiang Chen.

At the same time, dark flames quietly emerged.

A skinny old man appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Iger, the Phantom Fire Lord.

This is his territory.

His eyes fell on the ghost bride and said, "You have crossed the level!"

The ghost bride smiled and covered her mouth: "I'm not here to take your territory, I just came to see the fun."

The dark light and shadows on Eagle's body shone, and he sighed deeply: "We all want to know the truth. I envy you so much, at least you can see the truth, but I am destined to have no chance."

He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Come in, young man. I am your obstacle this time. At least you don't have to worry about your friend's departure anymore."

Jiang Chen walked slowly into the hall.

As he stepped in, a system prompt sounded in his ears:
"Current location: Phantom Fire Library."

“Mission content: Go to the secret cave of the library and destroy the demon barrier.”

"Special mission requirements: Don't tell anyone about this mission!"

Jiang Chen sighed softly: "It's all exposed, why are you still standing there not telling anyone about the mission? You are so rigid."

hiss!
Amidst the low hissing, a faint light flickered, and the ghost fire floated towards Jiang Chen like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

This is the rule domain of the Phantom Fire Lord. Under his ghostly flame, all lives killed will be transformed into the underworld and used by him.

That’s right, it’s the ghost bride’s transformation into the underworld.

It’s just that the ghost bride’s transformation into the underworld is just an ability, not a rule, but here with Eagle, it’s a rule!

Although it still requires the premise of "killing", it actually achieves a similar effect to the Blade of Punishment: when the recipient is killed, he will also be transformed into the Netherworld, thus losing his identity as a recipient, which is equivalent to the Blade of Punishment's one kill!

Jiang Chen didn't care. He just let the primitive power in his body surge and easily resisted the erosion from the ghost fire.

He strolled inside and asked casually, "What about the other four?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, four figures appeared in the hall.

Kalkot, the Lord of the Skinned Ghosts.

Pope Brierley of the Frost Church.

Pope Isolda of the Church of the Earth.

Easterbrook, Pope of the Church of the Storm.

Seeing these people appear, Jiang Chen chuckled: "Should I say that you are the last remnants of the Arcane Age? Or the stubborn resistance? Or are you the Jews who are never loyal running dogs and are controlling your own masters?"

As these words came out, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
