Chapter 801 The Truth Behind the Disappearance of the Sun (10,000-Word Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Maslow said that human needs are hierarchical, and the more primitive, the lower, and the closer to instinctive needs, the higher the priority.

When a person cannot even meet the basic needs of food and water for survival, it is difficult to consider complex things such as dignity, ideals, self-worth, and sense of belonging.

Instead, they will abandon all dignity and morality for a piece of bread and a glass of water and are willing to pay any price for it, even death.

Only when low-level physiological needs are met can we pursue further order, fairness and security.

This is why there has been almost no direct conflict between military powers since the nuclear weapons era.

Because although nuclear weapons are far from destroying humanity, they can seriously damage existing productivity, leading to difficulties in the supply of various basic living materials, electricity, water, etc., and even their complete disappearance in some areas.

What's more terrible is that with the sharp decline in quality of life and the survival crisis, law and order will also collapse, and then there will be an inevitable decline in civilization.

It doesn't take much, just two or three generations. When all the old people who originally mastered advanced knowledge, technology, and ideas die, the quality of the population will decline to a level that is unbearable to look at, and even degenerate into dictatorship and slavery under the darkness and greed of human nature.

If this situation continues for a while, everyone will gradually adapt and take everything for granted, and the world is originally like this.

When it degenerates to this extent, it will become extremely difficult to redevelop and restore the past prosperity, just like opening the difficulty of hell.

After all, social progress cannot be piled up by piling up technology alone. The most critical thing is the change in thinking.

The most typical example is that before the rapid rise of modern Europe, the Renaissance took the lead in breaking the shackles of religion and liberating thoughts, followed by the rapid era of geographical discoveries and the colonial era, as well as the rise of the Industrial Revolution.

Imagine if a group of people are not full every day and the average life expectancy is only about 30 years old, how can they think about the future and use their brains to constantly try to transform existing production tools to improve labor efficiency?

I guess what I think about from morning to night is what to eat and how to get it.

Even if I can eat a few full meals occasionally, I won't think about these things, but will find a member of the opposite sex to vent the suppressed reproductive instinct, and by the way, let my genes continue to be passed on.

In fact, it is never the lower class that really promotes the development of history and society.

Because in most cases, how can they master knowledge, study technology, and think about a system that is more suitable for the current productivity when they can't even fill their stomachs.

The real driving force of all this is the "off-workers", that is, the very small group of people who do not need to work and have completely satisfied their low-level needs and begin to pursue the realization of self-worth.

They are not necessarily the ruling class, but they must be the elite class.

And cultivating and maintaining such an elite requires a lot of social resources.

Unfortunately, the world that the dark prince Greya is eyeing now no longer has enough surplus resources to cultivate a large number of off-workers to promote social progress.

So since entering the underground world, their social form has been constantly regressing.

In addition, the underground space is limited, and it is impossible to have a large plain suitable for agricultural and animal husbandry production like the surface. It is already a remarkable achievement for a large settlement to feed tens of thousands of people.

Finally, there are DBUFFs such as closed communications and transportation, and even external expansion, mergers, and trade have become a thankless task.

In addition, without much genetic exchange between each other for thousands of years, any settlements that are far apart will have huge differences in appearance and even body shape.

Some have even experienced reproductive isolation.

This has further led to the division of the entire race.

If the core of the earth has not cooled down, in tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years, two completely different subspecies may really evolve.

Of course, these complex issues are not issues that the expedition members need to consider.

After a hearty meal, they were quickly taken into the magnificent bath, soaking in slightly hot water, and applying some smooth and foaming shower gel on themselves from time to time.

There is no doubt that this building is an absolute paradise in the eyes of the residents of the underground world.

Looking at the gorgeous lights above her head and feeling the warmth brought by the water, a young woman couldn't help but sigh: "If this is a dream, I would rather never wake up."

"Dream?

This is not a dream, but a gift from God.

I think that prince is most likely the great god who came to save us.

Because apart from God, I can't think of anyone who can build this fairyland-like place on the surface world.

Look at these green plants and flowers, they are exactly the same as described in "Divine Revelation."

Another slightly older woman glanced at the potted plants placed on the windowsill as decorations in the distance, picked up the silver amulet hanging around her neck and kissed it, revealing unparalleled piety in her eyes.

"You are actually a believer of the church?!"

Rebecca, the youngest girl in the team, showed surprise.

Like all primitive and ignorant regions, the human beings in this world naturally derived various religions after thousands of years of entering the underground world in order to meet the spiritual needs of the people and the ruling class to reduce the resistance consciousness of the lower class and increase social stability.

After all, the origin of religious belief is suffering.

Only when you endure great pain and see no hope will you pray to a god who is above mortals to save you.

Without a false hope as support, people simply cannot survive in such a harsh and difficult environment.

However, the problem is that for expedition teams that often go to the surface world, because they often come into contact with things from the prosperous era, the tall buildings they see with their own eyes, and the exquisite tools that no blacksmith can make, they rarely believe the nonsense of those charlatans.

In particular, the description of the end of the world in "Divine Revelation" is that the people in the prosperous era are arrogant and extravagant, which leads to God's punishment. Only by working hard and enduring the suffering of the present can you have the opportunity to ascend to heaven and enjoy a good life after death.

Anyone who has visited the surface world and seen the things left behind by the "ancestors", such as the suicide note frozen on the table, and the video and audio records that have not been frozen by ultra-low temperatures and can still be played after being brought back to the underground and thawed, can know that the culprit of all this is the sudden disappearance of the sun.

No one knows what happened at the time, but it is certain that it has nothing to do with the gods. Instead, it is more like the people at that time made a big move and accidentally killed themselves.

You must know that as members of the expedition team, they have all learned those ancient characters and languages ​​so that they can confirm where high-value materials may be hidden at the first time, so they are not like the lower-class people who have long been enslaved and know nothing about the truth of the world.

The woman with a silver amulet on her neck smiled and replied: "No, I don't believe what those guys preach, I just simply believe that there should be a god in this world, and he will lead us out of the sea of ​​suffering one day."

"So do you think the prince mentioned by those weird creatures is the god you are looking forward to?"

Rebecca stood up from the huge bath, revealing a perfect figure that most modern women envy without a trace of fat.

Of course, it is not easy to grow extra fat in this food-poor world, and it is even a privilege only for a very small number of the upper ruling class.

Especially the well-proportioned but not exaggerated muscles, which are definitely not obtained by doing some exercise in the gym.

If you have to find some flaws in her, it may be that the thick thighs and calves shaped by long-term walking look like Chun-Li in Street Fighter.

"Otherwise? How do you explain the warm environment here and the fresh fruits and vegetables on the table?"

The older woman also stood up from the bathtub and began to wipe her body, then put on the clothes on the shelf, stood in front of the mirror and stared at her radiant self, her whole body and mind became extremely relaxed.

Although she didn't understand why the Dark Prince treated her so kindly, she knew that her value was far less than the sumptuous banquet before.

Moreover, the other party lived on the surface world, and had as many supplies as he wanted, and it was impossible for him to look down on the rags found by the expedition team.

Since the cost is far greater than the possible benefits, it means that what the other party wants is not vulgar things like "property", but something that mortals cannot understand, such as faith.

"Maybe... it's some kind of technology left over from the prosperous era? Don't forget, we have recovered some similar things before, and even those scholars don't know what they are called, but they can grow food without soil."

Rebecca, who was also dressed neatly, expressed her guess.

The older woman smiled and shook her head: "Come on. I admit that there are many incredible technologies in the prosperous era, but it is impossible to achieve this level. Otherwise, why did our ancestors go underground instead of relying on it to continue living on the surface?"

Just as the two were talking, the leader's slightly helpless voice suddenly came from outside.

"Dear lady, you have been washing for a full hour and a half, aren't you done yet? You know, the owner here is still waiting to meet us. I don't want to annoy him and be driven out, and then spend the night outside in the cold environment."

"Damn it! Don't rush, we are getting dressed."

Rebecca rolled her eyes unhappily.

After about three to five minutes, the women in the team stood up, dried their bodies, put on their clothes and walked out.

As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will think about sex.

When the impatient men who were waiting outside saw the women who took off their heavy warm clothes and wore cool clothes to reveal a large area of ​​white and rosy skin, almost all of them subconsciously widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva.

In addition, they had just taken a shower and exuded a faint fragrance. It would be strange if there was no physiological reaction.

Even the guy who was still complaining about how troublesome women were in the last second was staring at the chest of a young girl in the next second.

For the change in the men's attitude, the older women immediately showed a disdainful expression, and the young girls were uncomfortable being stared at, and some even blushed.

But fortunately, this embarrassing situation did not last long. A new Phyrexian creature said to everyone, "Follow me. Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

In this way, a group of thirty or forty people squeezed into the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

When the elevator door opened, all the members of the expedition team immediately saw a scene that they would never forget.

In huge petri dishes, there were densely packed with various strange creatures that were either soaked in solution or in the shape of eggs or cocoons.

Some of them were what they had seen in the underground world, but most of them were what they had never heard of.

There were even no shapes at all, just like huge twisted black shadow monsters.

One of the eggs had obviously begun to hatch, and two pink little hands directly tore open the hard inner wall and outer shell, struggling to crawl out from inside.

From the appearance, it looked wrinkled and looked like a human baby girl.

But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that on the surface of the delicate skin, you can vaguely see the stratum corneum that looks like a sharp blade.

Not only that, you can also see sharp horns on the forehead, a pair of small wings and a tail behind it.

"Aiya!!"

The baby did not cry like an ordinary child when it was born, but crawled out tremblingly.

When she crawled to the feet of the handsome young man standing in front of the petri dish, she suddenly raised her arms and gently waved her two little hands, as if begging the latter to hold her.

Obviously, this little baby is Altria who has just completed the re-cultivation.

Now she has completely bid farewell to the past, and is completely a pure and flawless white paper.

"Is this the life that has just been born? It's really fragile."

Graya's eyes flashed with curiosity, but he obviously didn't want to bend down to pick up this little guy.

After all, no matter how much Altria was re-cultivated, she was still a divine creature. Even if she was just born, she was many times stronger than mortals. Even if she was thrown outside in an environment of more than 200 degrees below zero Celsius and starved for hundreds of years, she could still be alive and kicking.

But the baby girl did not give up. Instead, she opened her mouth and continued to make babbling sounds, trying to attract the Dark Prince's attention.

After trying several times, Graya reached out and picked it up by the neck like a puppy, and directly cast a cleaning spell to clean up all the mucus on the little guy, and then sighed helplessly: "Oh - it's really troublesome. Is this the only way to experience what growth is? Forget it, since my father said this is the only way, I will try it for now."

"Aaa!"

Altria, in the baby state, smiled happily and made happy sounds with her two little feet.

Since a large part of her power came from the Dark Prince, she naturally had an inexplicable closeness to the latter, just like a father and daughter connected by blood.

In contrast, Graya's reaction was relatively cold. She just used the quasi-divine power to create a piece of cloth out of thin air to wrap up the naked little thing to prevent her from crawling around restlessly.

"Your Majesty, these mortals have been brought here. If there is nothing else to tell me, I will leave first."

The New Phyrexian Creature broke this brief warm scene.

"Well, OK."

Graya nodded at the oil-shining servant.

In his eyes, this kind of thing without even a soul can only be regarded as an intelligent tool, and there is no need to waste too much time talking about it.

After the oil-shining creature left, the members of the expedition team began to make some commotion.

Because the scene in this laboratory is really a bit scary.

And the handsome face of the Dark Prince, his two deep dark eyes, and the breath of divine power all made them want to kneel down and worship.

Especially the "superpowers" of this team, began to gradually feel the existence of the shadow magic network.

Nervous!

Uneasy!

Fear!

Even Rebecca, who had always been opposed to approaching here, realized that the young man standing in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person.

Because that kind of extraordinary temperament, as well as the invisible but faintly perceptible energy field surrounding him, all proved that he was special.

After a long silence, the older woman with the silver amulet hanging around her neck took the lead and bowed deeply with one hand on her chest: "Hello, Your Highness, the Prince of Darkness, we are the expedition team from the City of Shoots. Thank you and your servants for the sumptuous meal and bathroom provided before."

"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake."

Graya nodded with a smile in response.

He once led the army to recover the land of the Kingdom of Cormier as the crown prince, so he knew how to respond to greetings from the bottom of society.

"Maybe it's a piece of cake for you, but it's like a paradise for us. If you don't mind, can you tell me who you are? I mean... are you a human or a god?"

The woman continued to test carefully, with a light of expectation and desire in her eyes.

After all, in this dark and desperate world, God is almost the only hope that can save mankind from suffering.

Graya smiled and responded: "Haha, it depends on what your definition of God is."

"Definition?"

The woman's face showed a puzzled look.

"Yes, definition.

If you think that God is something spiritual, abstract and untouchable, then I am definitely not.

But if you think that God only has a powerful force that is superior to mortals and an eternal life, then I can barely be considered a God.

Because I can destroy a world at any time if I want to."

As he said this, Graya suddenly released his destructive power of darkness and nothingness, completely enveloping the entire planet under his feet.

In an instant, all the people living in the underground world of this planet could not help but feel inexplicable fear and trembling, as if they were grasped by an invisible big hand, and their life and death were in the other's mind.

That kind of strong uneasiness grew like wild grass.

Especially the members of the expedition team who were closest to them, as if they saw the huge shadow that swallowed everything in the body of the Dark Prince.

But fortunately, this situation only lasted for less than a minute before it returned to its original state.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

Several people with weaker willpower had their hearts pounding after the suffocation disappeared. They knelt on the ground and gasped for air, with sweat dripping down their foreheads and cheeks.

The leader looked up at Graya with an extremely complicated expression. After half a minute, he asked in a trembling voice: "Did you extinguish the sun and plunge the world into darkness? Are you the god who destroyed the prosperous era?"

"Puff-hahahahaha!"

The Dark Prince laughed loudly, shaking his head and explaining: "No, no, no, that has nothing to do with me. It was all caused by your ancestors' own death. I just discovered it recently and came here."

"Dying?"

Rebecca's eyes revealed a strong desire for knowledge.

Because all humans living in the underground world don't want to know what happened back then.

"That's right.

Your ancestors, through the continuous development of magic and technology, have acquired the technology to leave their home planet and enter the vast space.

They are eager to obtain unlimited energy and to create a high-welfare society where everyone can enjoy free food, medical care, elderly care, entertainment, etc. even if they don't work.

Finally, the top lawbreakers, which you now call the group of superpowers, and the most powerful scientists at the time, jointly proposed a plan.

That is to make full use of the sun as an energy source.

To this end, they built a super Dyson sphere, preparing to wrap the sun directly inside so that every bit of light and heat emitted can be fully utilized, rather than spreading meaninglessly in the universe.

As a result, due to errors in calculations and operations, violent flares and fluctuations were triggered inside the star during the closed-loop process, which eventually led to a supernova explosion.

In order to prevent this explosion from destroying your home planet, the lawbreakers can only sacrifice themselves to wrap the entire stars were teleported to a corner of the universe.

That’s why there is a strange situation where the stars in the entire galaxy disappear, but other planets are intact.

In addition, there are a total of 100 super tunnels on this planet that you enter the surface, and each one corresponds to a large city cluster on the surface.

It was excavated by the local government after the sun disappeared.

So all this has nothing to do with God. It is simply the inevitable result of people losing their awe and becoming more and more arrogant after technology develops to a certain level.

Those people think they can tame stars and obtain energy through the most natural super nuclear fusion reactor in the universe.

But in fact, with the technology at that time, it was not enough to tame the very unstable and irritable sun in this star system.

How about it, are you surprised by this answer? "

Greya did not hide anything and told everyone present the truth that the world fell into darkness and coldness.

The reason why he knew it so clearly was that at the location of the star, the remains of the damaged Dyson sphere could still be seen.

To be honest, he really didn’t understand how the other party, with such crude technology, dared to play so big before leaving the star system to develop outer space colonies.

Even if they want to play, at least they should open a branch base to verify the technology.

But the people on this planet are so good that they just go all out and play such a trick in their hometown.

Will all civilizations inevitably move towards self-destruction after their cognitive ability and technology develop to a certain level?

The Dark Prince has undoubtedly heard about how those once glorious ancient civilizations on the continent of Faerun killed themselves one by one, and thinks that the situation in this world is similar.

Otherwise, with the technology they mastered at that time, even if they stopped developing and lived on their old capital, they could easily continue their civilization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Is it... our ancestors who destroyed themselves?!"

The truth undoubtedly deeply stimulated Rebecca, as well as the entire expedition team including the leader.

They did not doubt that the Dark Prince was lying or cheating.

Because with the power displayed by the other party, there was no need to play such tricks.

Graya nodded slightly: "Yes, they destroyed themselves. This is not a special case, but the common fate of many civilizations that think they are powerful. It is also the inevitable result of the arrogance in the bones of mortals."

"What about you? What are your plans for coming to our world?"

After a brief shock, the older woman immediately asked enthusiastically.

"For faith. I am looking for a group of believers as my followers to build my own dark empire."

Graya stated his intention directly.

"Faith? You mean... let us believe in you and build a church, and then get some degree of salvation?"

Rebecca's face changed slightly.

Due to her special experience in childhood, she has always been disgusted and even hateful of those institutions that make money in the name of religion and enslave the poor.

Graya obviously noticed this and asked meaningfully: "You seem to have a strong rejection of religion and faith, don't you?

But please don't confuse me with those dirty and ugly guys.

In my opinion, faith should not be a one-sided demand, but a contract between man and God.

Mortals are responsible for providing faith, while gods are responsible for providing help including magic, so that their believers can survive better.

This is what a healthy religion should look like.

So as long as you are willing to believe and serve me, I will give you the power called magic, and a special physique that can ignore the cold and move freely on the surface world."

Magic?

A physique that can ignore the cold and move freely on the surface?

Hearing these two conditions, all the members of the expedition team were excited.

Although they did not understand what divine arts were, they knew very well how great convenience it would bring if they could ignore the cold. They could even explore remote areas that no one had ever been to and dig out priceless power generation equipment.

Just as the members of the expedition team exchanged glances with each other, the older woman was the first to kneel down and crawl on the ground, kissing the leather boots of the Dark Prince affectionately, looking up and chanting with a pious face: "Your Highness, the great Dark Prince, from this moment on you are my faith, my only one, I am willing to dedicate everything to you, even my life."

"I accept your faith and promise to protect your soul. When you are alive, you are my priest and apostle. When you die, I will protect your soul and go to another world to enjoy eternal peace."

Graya stretched out his finger and gently pressed it on the other's forehead.

In a flash!

A black circular mark was branded in the middle of the brow.

At the same time, the woman's pale skin became dim, as if it merged with the shadow formed by the surrounding light.

The most important thing is that countless knowledge was instilled into her brain in just a few seconds.

When she came to her senses, she was already a wizard and priest who could cast first-level divine spells and first-level arcane spells at the same time.

"This... what is this?!!"

The woman obviously realized what happened, and her already very excited mood became even more fanatical.

Before others could react to what happened, she completed a spell and instantly shot out a hot and scorching flame from her fingertips.

Needless to say, this is the [Burning Hand] used by the lowest-level wizards in the first-level magic.

Although it was much weaker because it was released by drawing energy from the shadow magic net, it was enough to shock and unbelievably make everyone in the expedition team.

Especially Rebecca, who is a psychic, her whole face was like seeing a ghost.

As the person in the team responsible for maintaining the barrier, she couldn't believe that this supernatural power could be obtained by ordinary people.

"Great Prince of Darkness! Praise you! Your generosity and kindness are the last salvation of this desperate world! Everyone should pray to you and offer their faith!"

After realizing what kind of power she had obtained, the older woman prostrated herself on the ground and worshipped again.

Since she originally believed that there was a god in this world, there was no mental obstacle in the process of establishing faith.

"Can you really give believers power?"

Rebecca swallowed her saliva and began to heat up and sweat from head to toe.

Graya smiled and responded: "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself.

Of course, not everyone can do this, but there are two prerequisites.

One is that the object of faith must be devout enough to establish a connection of faith;

The second is to have sufficient perception, otherwise it is unlikely to perceive the existence of divine power or quasi-divine power.

As a superpower, your perception level is definitely enough.

But the question is, with your childhood experience, can you really become a devout believer?"

As the last word came out, Rebecca immediately showed a panic, and her voice suddenly rose eight degrees and asked sharply: "How do you know my childhood experience? I have never told you Anyone! "

"Who do you think I am?

Those fake religious charlatans who play tricks and manipulate power and faith?

No, I am the dark prince who killed and devoured a god's incarnation as soon as I was born. I am a quasi-divine power that is superior to most weak gods.

In my eyes, each of your experiences, memories, thoughts and ideas in your mind at this moment have no secrets.

It's like a book in front of me. I can open it and read the contents whenever I want.

Now please make a choice.

Do you want to accept my gift to spread faith and save those who live in pain and despair, or do you choose to give up everything and continue to live in a daze and numb zombies.

I think this shouldn't be too difficult a choice. "

Greia made her intentions straightforward.

He is not Zuo Si. He will guide slowly with interest, and even use psychological tricks to make the other party succumb to his will. In the end, he will have no choice but to become part of the plan.

In his opinion, these mortals were not worth his time and energy.

If one batch doesn't work, the worst case scenario is another batch.

Anyway, there are at least thousands of active expedition teams in this world.

"I am willing to become your believer! Accept your gift!"

The leader, who was already quite old, knelt down for the second time. Although his eyes were not as wild as the previous woman's, they were very firm.

Because he knew very well that he would not be able to work in this industry for long.

In particular, physical fitness continues to decline every year. It may not be long before someone is exhausted, fell to death, froze to death, or died of diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases during a long journey.

But if he can obtain those supernatural powers, he can transform into preaching, and then establish a church through donations from believers to enjoy a comfortable life and longer life like the priests in the city.

"very good."

Greia showed a satisfied look and gave this middle-aged man his own mark and shadow physique.

In this way, under the "Head Sheep Effect", the members of the entire expedition knelt down one after another to worship the Prince of Darkness, establishing a faith connection with different levels of piety.

In order to facilitate the spread of faith, he gave the mage level at least LV1 regardless of whether the perception attribute passed the test.

After all, the mystery and supernatural power of magic is always the most awe-inspiring thing in this primitive and ignorant world.

When these "miracles" appear in various gathering places, those deceptive and false religions will soon be eliminated.

In the end, only Rebecca stood motionless, with a look of great struggle on her face.

It's not that she doesn't want to kneel down to gain more power, but that her inner rejection of religion makes it impossible to establish a connection with faith.

"Don't force yourself. Faith is belief from the heart. It is an understanding and practice of the teachings of the god you serve. If you can't let go of the baggage of the past, you might as well try to practice my teachings first."

Greya spoke directly to interrupt the other party's mental internal friction.

After all, he was still very interested in the rare superpowers in this world, and he didn't intend to drive this young girl crazy.

"Doctrine? What is that?"

Rebecca, dripping with sweat, raised her head and stared into the deep eyes of the Prince of Darkness.

"It's my ideal, my wish, and what kind of world I plan to create. I believe you have seen the changes that have happened to them, right?"

Grea pointed at the others, including the leader.

Rebecca nodded slightly: "Well, yes, their body structure seems to have undergone some changes."

“This is actually a manifestation of gaining the shadow physique.

In other words, their life forms have been transformed, they are no longer afraid of cold, and their demand for food and water will also be greatly reduced.

This means that they are more adaptable to this cruel world.

Even if one day the heat from the earth's core disappears and the entire planet is shrouded in low temperatures of more than 200 degrees Celsius from the inside out, it can still survive.

And I plan to transform everyone in this world into this.

In this way, there will no longer be hunger and cold, and people can be freed from despair and re-establish a glorious civilization.

I will make you my dependents and give you knowledge and strength.

And what you have to do is to serve me as Lord and dedicate your faith and spiritual world.

Well, this plan isn't that hard to swallow, is it? "

When saying these words, Grea had an approachable smile on her face, looking like a kind god who saved people from fire and water.

But in reality?

He directly concealed the terrible side effects of transforming into half-shadow creatures and shadow creatures.

In particular, relying on negative energy to survive corrodes the soul and consciousness, which is basically changing the personality while retaining memory.

If you look at those who have obtained the shadow physique, you will know that from this moment on they have been firmly bound to the Prince of Darkness, and there is no possibility of betrayal or giving up their faith.

It's a pity that Rebecca didn't notice this. Instead, she felt that this should be a good thing for all mankind. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded vigorously: "Yes, this may be a way to save the world and mankind." The only way. I am willing to try to practice your teachings and gradually develop faith from them.”

"Very good. I have just prepared a batch of potions here that can allow people to obtain shadow physique, as well as books on how to learn and use magic. Now you can take them and other supplies back to the underground world."

With a wave of his hand, Graya showed off what he had already ordered the New Phyrexia creations to prepare.

They were more than twenty oil trucks that had been modified to travel through the complex terrain of the underground world. Each of them carried more than one hundred tons of cargo. For the expedition team that could only rely on human backs and sleds for transportation, This kind of transportation efficiency is absolutely a miracle that cannot even be imagined.

If it is successfully transported back, the entire underground city will completely boil.

Even the nobles who were high above would cheer for them, and even allow them to enter the inner city and become part of the ruling class.

"Please rest assured, we will never let you down, and we will definitely spread your name throughout every settlement in the underground world."

The leader slapped his chest hard and made a promise.

Because he had just obtained the Shadow Physique, some of his desires did not disappear immediately, so he had already imagined how much wealth and power he could get by bringing so many supplies back.

"I hope so.

Now go to the guest room prepared for you and have a good sleep. When you wake up, set off for the return journey.

Remember, I am not a stingy host.

Whoever makes achievements will be rewarded, whether it is strength, power, status, or wealth including money.

But if anyone just wants to make himself live a better life in my name, he will lose his favor and be severely punished."

After saying this, Graya waved his hand to signal the expedition team to leave, and he held the little Artoria in his arms and considered how to educate this little guy to prevent her from becoming naughty and rebellious like her sister.
