Nightmare Light

Chapter 193 Luo He and the War of Godslaying

A few minutes later, Lin Wang finally managed to pull the little skeleton away from May.

As she was leaving, the little girl was still fuming, hands on her hips, emphasizing, "Not a single set can be missed!"

Lin Wang, his face full of brows, agreed to the little girl's request while carrying Xiao Huangquan Gong to the side.

He placed the little Yellow Springs on the ground, and the latter covered its head with both hands, squatted down with a snap, and began to tremble.

"This is terrifying... This place is so terrifying... I've never been this afraid, not even in front of my lord! That woman actually made me, the Lord of the Styx, do..."

Little Huangquan Gong shuddered: "Art History and Urban Planning Exam Paper!"

"Doing homework is indeed a bit scary for a child..." Lin Wang shook his head, interrupting Xiao Huangquan Gong, and asked him, "Let's not talk about that, I have something to ask you."

What do you want to know?

Tell me about... the Luo River.

As Lin Wang spoke, he looked up at the sky. The enormous, towering tree ferns stood silently, motionless.

“I knew it…” Little Yellow Springs chuckled, not answering immediately, but falling silent.

A few seconds later, He forcefully waved His short arm: "Fine! I've already said it! Anyway, my lord is dead, and I've been captured and imprisoned under the tree fern!"

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk." He found a tree root, grabbed it with both hands, and leaped upwards.

puff.

Then he tumbled headfirst behind the tree roots.

A string of profanities came from behind the tree roots.

A few seconds later, Little Yellow Springs reluctantly climbed onto the tree root and carefully sat down: "Alright, I'll tell you..."

He paused, then began to tell a story.

Then, the first words spoken by the Little Yellow Springs Lord greatly surprised Lin Wang:
"My Lord was not killed by those humans at all—there was actually another story behind the Crusader's attack on the Underworld and my Lord's death."

Lin Wang was surprised: "Luo He wasn't killed by the Holy Army?"

Little Yellow Springs Lord snorted: "You underestimate a 'Great Lord' too much."

“Then let me give you an example. I am just a ‘Duke’ level immortal. Although I am stronger than the average ‘Duke’ level immortal, I am still far from being a Great Lord.”

"Even so, at my peak, I could overturn rivers and seas with a single breath. Today, I killed those mortals in a single encounter. Do you think they would dare to act so arrogantly in front of me?"

Lin Wang sat down next to Xiao Huangquan Gong: "How did Luo He die?"

"...Do you really think that I, a mere 'Duke' level immortal, could know the truth about the death of the Underworld Lord?"

Little Yellow Springs spread his hands: "You think too highly of this immortal."

After He finished speaking, He changed the subject again: "But coincidentally, I am the ruler of the Styx River, so on the day my lord died... I did indeed have a face-to-face encounter with Him."

Little Yellow Springs looked up at the sky above the tree fern.

"That day, when the first Crusader entered the Underworld, we, including our Lord and the other gods of the Underworld, learned of the mortals' movements."

"According to the normal plan, we should have gathered our Lord and fought against humanity. But that day, our Lord gave us a strange order."

"He commanded us to prepare only one-tenth of the army, and He himself led the army to fight against mortals."

"I still remember the expression on His face before He led his army out."

Little Yellow Springs God looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.

"He had a happy smile on his face, and did not look like he was going to fight a battle. I still remember the last words he said before he left."

He said: Hehehehe... This is my retirement battle.

After saying this, Xiao Huangquan Gong fell silent and did not continue speaking.

Lin Wang's expression also turned solemn as he fell into deep thought. "A retirement battle... there's a lot more to that than meets the eye." Lin Wang narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that Luo He wants to retire and is faking being killed by the Holy Army?"

“No, our lord did not die at all,” said Little Yellow Springs Lord. “Even if he faked his death, he did not.”

“You must understand one thing—even immortals have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, so when they die, they will also cause great celestial phenomena.”

“And the death of a god, or even a great lord…” Little Yellow Springs Lord shook his head: “The entire underworld will be thrown into chaos. All rules, order, and even the dead could be instantly erased and reconstructed.”

"But after the battle between the Crusaders and our Lord ended, we went to the battlefield and only saw deep pits and corpses everywhere. We didn't see our Lord's body at all! There were no strange phenomena either!"

So... did Luo He really die?

Why did His white fire... come to me?
Lin Wang pondered for a moment: "I have another question."

"I have plenty of time."

"It's not much, you still have homework to do later."

"Don't mention that!"

Lin Wang then asked, "The cook said before that Luo He's body was banished to the deepest part of the underworld by the Holy Army."

"This is only the side of the story of those mortals—do you think that in the hundred years that followed, we, the immortals of the underworld, did not search for our master?"

“We have searched the entire underworld, but we have not found our lord’s body at all.”

"..."

Lin Wang ended the conversation while deep in thought.

The content of the conversation was so astonishing that it would take him a long time to ponder and process it.

Lin Wang sat quietly under the tree fern, pondering for a long time, until the paper bride made a paper crown weighing six or seven pounds on his head—and it was almost finished. Only then did Lin Wang end his contemplation.

He flicked the paper girl lightly, sending her tumbling. While the paper girl was gesturing wildly at him, Lin Wang stood up.

It's time to see what changes will occur in the tree after Little Yellow Springs' energy is transferred to it.

Lin Wang pulled himself up to the top of the giant tree by the vines.

He placed his hand on the tree trunk and poured the energy he had previously absorbed from Huang Quan Gong into the giant tree.

This is the energy of a truly powerful deity.

Although it is in a weakened state and has only half the energy, it is still amazing enough.

As the energy flowed into the giant tree, Lin Wang even heard faint popping sounds in the air.

The surging energy lasted for three or four minutes before it was fully poured into the tree fern, and the tree fern underwent a truly astonishing transformation.

A vast expanse of branches and leaves, like a forest, gradually unfurled and turned emerald green before Lin Wang.

More than a dozen fruits also grew among the branches and quickly turned golden.

When the transformation was over, from Lin Wang's perspective, the tree fern even looked like a "living" giant tree.

Only when observed from the perspective of the giant tree itself will one discover that more than 90% of the tree remains withered and has not recovered.

Anyway...

It's already a good thing that such a large area has been restored...

Lin Wang pondered, preparing to examine the fruits.

At this moment, the server function suddenly forced a window to pop up in front of Lin Wang.

Immediately afterwards, a line of glowing, flashing text appeared in front of him.

[Upgrade requirements met... Server function upgrade in progress, please wait.]
