Chapter 312: The Final Truth (Part II)

Previous Chapter

As the fourth primeval god, Herme, the god of death, is far less famous than the primeval triad.

This probably has something to do with the fact that he disappeared at a very early age.

From Dillan's mouth, Xu Nan and Evelyn learned some hidden stories about this ancient god of death, and also knew the true origin of the [original calamity].

In those ancient times, Herme, the god of death, controlled the mysterious and cold world of the dead.

The six kings of the world of the dead are only the six generals under Herme.

Despite this, the world of the dead at that time had already occupied a very important weight in the multiverse pattern.

Even in the decisive battle between the primeval gods and the monsters, the world of the dead played no small role.

It is said that during that decisive battle, Hermeh was commissioned by the primeval gods to open up a new realm in the depths of the earth to seal and contain those terrible outland monsters.

He deprived the monsters of their life contract, leaving them to exist in a form between death and life, suffering day and night; And since the Inner Earth is a godly realm similar to the world of the dead, the monsters can only repeat the days of the walking dead all day long.

No matter how powerful these outland monsters were, as long as they failed to break through the blockade of the primeval gods, they would not be able to leave the inner world created by the god of death, Herme.

Suffice it to say, if it weren't for Herme, the actions of the primeval trio would not have been successful.

It's just that Hermo is a very eccentric deity, and his thinking is very different from everyone else's.

As a powerful god of death, he is actually very tired of death and eternity.

He has been in the world of the dead since he was born, and after gaining the authority of the god of death, he cannot leave.

This caused his mental health to deteriorate dramatically.

He began to experience symptoms of depression and frantically attempted suicide.

He thinks his existence is a big problem, so he tries very hard to try to fix it.

But as to how to successfully kill himself, Hermo didn't have much of a clue.

He had made some attempts, but the result only turned out to infuriate himself even more - he couldn't kill himself!

So he began to seek outside help.

The most direct, naturally, is the help of the other three primeval gods.

Obviously, the primeval trio could not understand Herme's strange thinking. They persuaded Hermo to live well and continue to manage the world of the dead.

But Hermo admits that he actually longs for a warm, lively day.

Life in the world of the dead had made him lose any hope of living.

He just wanted to die.

He longed for the three gods to kill him.

The three gods treated him as a psychopath, and after persuasion failed, they simply left him aside, after all, at that time, the monsters in the center of the earth were not stable, and they had to put more energy there.

The primeval trio had thought that Hermer would run back to be his own god of death after tossing for a while.

Who knew that the Grim Reaper's thoughts were unusually strong.

In order to succeed in his death, he began to make some bold and crazy attempts.

He even began to seduce Star Beasts to invade the realm of the dead!

Although Hermo himself was unharmed during this series of attempts, the whole world was simply stormy and shattered!

The invasion of the Star Beast severely damaged the order of the realm of the dead, causing people and ghosts in the main material realm to dance together for a period of time, and gods and demons lived together...... Many people have lost their lives inexplicably because of Herme's radical actions.

The destruction caused by Herme's suicide was even worse than the invasion of monsters from the Outlands!

Only then did the primeval trio realize that Hermo really didn't want to live.

In order to calm the situation, they approached Hermo and discussed how to kill the Grim Reaper.

What exactly happened between the primeval trio and the Grim Reaper, in terms of details, even Dillan, who had obtained the memories of Sanger through the ages, did not know very well.

All he knew was that the primeval trio had not been able to kill Hermo completely, they had only severely wounded him to the point of near-death, and for this they had even shattered part of the Grim Reaper's authority and personhood.

Eventually, the enraged Grim Reaper Hermeh cast a mysterious and terrifying forbidden spell by infusing a portion of his personality and power into an artifact he carried with him.

That artifact was the ring in Dillan's hand.

The first calamity.

The reason for this name is that the Grim Reaper has created too many disasters across the multiverse in order to get rid of his own destiny and power.

Although this ring is an artifact, it seems to have carried an ominous one at the beginning of its birth.

The ring comes with Hermer, the god of death, with a strong desire to commit suicide, and in fact, according to Dillan, every generation of the lich Sanger will attempt suicide, and several have committed suicide several times.

Because they didn't succeed in overcoming suicidal thoughts.

Fortunately, like Herme, the owners of the Ring who have inherited the power of the gods and lichs are very difficult to kill.

"Hmm...... Suicide is something that will be shocking at first, but it's okay to get used to it. ”

These are Dillan's exact words.

In short, this ring can bring extremely powerful power to the owner, but it will also give a huge amount of negative energy back to the holder.

After leaving behind the first calamity, Therm vanished without a trace.

He gave his authority to six generals, and since then, the pattern of the six monarchs of the world of the dead has been maintained to this day.

Dillan even speculated that there might be a secret to the suicide of Herme, the god of death.

From time to time, he could sense something unusual from the first calamities.

These breaths did not come from Herme, the ring's oldest owner, nor from the generations of Sangals, but from a strange and familiar being.

Sometimes, he felt as if the ring had suddenly come to life from the heavy dust of history.

It was only for a moment, but because it appeared so many times, Dillan was pretty sure that these were not his delusions.

He had also visited the world of the dead, and found that the six monarchs did not seem to be affected by the suicidal tendencies of the god of death, Herme, but their power was very stable, and had not changed in any way from past years.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, the world of the dead is an unusually stable place.

But the power and authority of the first calamity is increasing with each passing day.

The speed at which this power is growing is certainly not just caused by the power that generations of Sanger has injected into the ring, it seems that it is still absorbing the power of the mysterious land in some way and growing stronger.

"Of course, these are all my ridiculous conjectures."

"Although I have always felt that the original scourge was alive and related to Herme, who attempted suicide in the first place, it has been very peaceful over the years, and has few drawbacks other than the occasional suicidal impulse," Dillan explained with a smile. ”

"Wearing it, you can become a god lich at least level 34, become the lord of Icesaw Valley, and become a person with many prefixes......"

"For example, the first beautiful man in Swire ......"

Dillan's gaze wandered back and forth between Xu Nan and Evelyn.

Both were silent.

Now, how could they not guess Dillan's intentions?

"If you need to do something, you can't live without this ring right now."

Xu Nan thought about it and did not answer Dillan's invitation positively.

Although deep down, he had already made a decision.

Dyerlan nodded:

"That's true, so I'm just asking you for your opinion today."

"I've met a lot of people, but the only ones who can really make me look at it, who can trust me with the initial calamity, are the two of you."

"Mr. Xu Nan, although you are very weak, I see a lot of my own shadow in you...... Most importantly, you have the power of entropy and may have insight into the true secrets of this ring......"

"Miss Evelyn, your talent and character are among the best among the people I have met, but the most important thing is your will, not many people can resist the negative effects of blood mages, but in you, I see something that can be called a miracle......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"So I'm quite relieved that the two of you will inherit Sanger's name."

"But why do I see rejection in both of you's eyes?"

"You know, if this ring spreads outside, I don't know how many people will fight for it!"

Evelyn pondered for a long time and said slowly:

"Thank you for your love, personally, it's not that I'm not impressed by the power of this ring, but I've already carried too many things, and if I choose to wear this ring, then I will lose the opportunity to fulfill many promises......"

"So, unfortunately, I can't accept your invitation."

"What's more, from the perspective of the overall pattern of the underworld, I would prefer that you continue to be the owner of the ring......"

Evelyn's mind is clear.

She must have seen Dillan's undisguised tiredness a long time ago.

Perhaps, like the previous owner of the ring, he had long wanted to drop everything and chase something else.

Power and responsibility are often reciprocal.

Wearing the initial calamity, you may not only be accompanied by suicidal thoughts from the god of death Herme, but also the duty of guarding the underworld and even the underworld, as well as the inextricable connection with the world of the dead and the god of death Herme.

This is unbearable for Evelyn, who is already full of chores.

The fate and power of the Blood Mage itself has left her anxious, and the conflict between the reappearance of Caesar's Empire and the continuation of the Eastern Kingdom has become apparent.

She really couldn't be distracted, and this time she came to Icesaw Valley, purely for the sake of Xu Nan's face, and followed her all the way to join in the fun and make a strong noise.

In the face of Evelyn's refusal, Dillan looked away as if he had expected it, and was not surprised.

Then he looked at Xu Nan.

That fiery gaze made Xu Nan uncomfortable.

"Don't say you care about the negative effects of gods and lichs or anything like that!"

Dearlan looked at Xu Nan viciously and "threatened":

"Do you think I can't see what's going on yourself? Humph......"

"If you don't give some reliable reason, don't blame me for being strong!"

Xu Nan sneered:

"Force, do you dare?"

"What background do you know?"

Dillan couldn't help but roll his eyes, revealing a little helplessness.

In all the years he has been a god and lich, he has never seen a more shameless character.

Even if you hug your thighs, you can still be so proud of it......

"I'm in a similar situation to Evelyn."

After successfully disgusting Dillan, Xu Nan, who had a much more balanced mentality, began to reply to this god lich seriously:

"The power of this ring is certainly attractive enough, but the negative costs are well known."

"I won't be the next Sanger until the last resort."

"So you should keep this ring, no matter what you are going to do, I believe you will continue to be in charge of Icesaw Valley."

Although he said it very sincerely on the surface, the most important part, Xu Nan still hid it in his heart.

As a little warlock who has experienced many ups and downs and has long been accustomed to being arranged, Xu Nan has a natural sensitivity and rejection to the things left by this ancient god.

Moreover, Dillan did not hide from him the evil of the original calamity.

What if Herme, the god of death, returns?

Xu Nan has always been very clear that strength and price have always been two sides of the same coin. If this ring was really that good, the previous owners would not have tried their best to find the next owner.

Anyway, the gods and lichs are immortal, and it doesn't hurt to keep the ring in their possession.

"I knew it."

Dillan sighed softly, but his expression was still unfazed, probably he was also prepared for the choice of the two.

He put away the ring, then took out a key, looked at the two of them, and said:

"Since none of you are willing to become the master of Icesaw Valley, then I have another request, I hope you will agree."

"It's about finding me the right person to wear the ring."

"This key is the key to the vault I promised you."

"Truth be told, after restarting the Misguided Seal in Icesaw Valley, I must personally take the last of the Misguided Seals to the Inner Earth, where I may encounter unforeseen ...... Well, it's a probable event, but it's something I have to do, and you don't have to stop it. ”

"If something happens to me, this ring will be returned directly to my vault, and when the time comes, I hope you can protect this ring and protect Icesaw Valley until the next Sanger appears."

This time, there was a rare hint of begging in Dillan's eyes.

Xu Nan sighed deeply.

He had actually guessed Dillan's destination a long time ago.

The inner world created by Herme, the god of death.

Only there can he truly make the Mark of Misdirection work.

But no one knows the state of the primeval trio now, and there is a question mark over whether the Seal of Mispath's restraint on Biroth is effective.

Not to mention the monsters from the center of the earth that are gradually recovering.

Dillan's trip was a life-and-death event.

But as he said, there are some things that someone has to do.

Xu Nan even guessed that the holder of the original calamity should have the duty or duty to guard the Mark of Misdirection and even the inner world.

He didn't doubt that Dillan was a man of good character, but that didn't conflict with the ring itself, which had similar constraints.

……

"Okay."

This time, Xu Nan agreed categorically.

As Dilren said, all the Icesaw Valley and the Underworld need is a Sanger.

Whether this Sanger is Dillan or Xu Nan or Evelyn, there is actually no difference.

Although I can't take on this responsibility myself, it's not bad to hand it over to someone else.

Xu Nan quickly had several objects in his mind.

Among them, the most suitable is probably Song Xiaocheng...... If this guy really can't do it, it will be okay to wear this ring to continue his life when the time comes.

"No problem." Evelyn nodded cheerfully.

Dillan smiled with relief.

"Well, I'm finally safe on my way."

"Before I go, I can tell you all the secrets and gossip about the Village of Eternal Life and the primeval gods, or the rest of the Underworld, for free."

"You've got about three or four hours left......

……
