Chapter 445: Shadow Spanning Two Lives

Cornish Sunedon failed, his body turned into ashes, and his soul was completely lost.

"Have a good journey." Chu Ming couldn't help feeling sad. He clasped his hands and mourned silently.

"General, have a safe journey."

The kings mourned in silence, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

A few minutes later, the clouds rolled back in the sky, the ice and snow melted, and a light rain began to fall.

In the darkness, Chu Ming's spirit suddenly felt a few pieces of ashes the size of fingernails floating in the sky, unaffected by wind and rain.

"What's this?"

As soon as his spirit touched it, the ashes buzzed and slowly fell into his palm with a dazzling light.

"Dang!"

The history books of the years are turning, and the golden light is gushing out.

【Ashes of Myth】

【quality:? ? ? 】

Chu Ming's heart was heavy and full of doubts.

"Conis was clearly about to gather the power of myth just now. Why did he suddenly fail?"

The ashes on his hand were born when Konis realized the opportunity. Although they were only a few pieces of ashes, it was enough to show that Konis should have been qualified to ascend to the gods.

"Could it be that there are dangers hidden in the road to ascending to the gods that I don't know about?"

The sudden death of Konis left all the kings present in silence, especially the other candidates for becoming gods, who only trembled in their hearts.

Two candidates to become gods failed to ascend to god one after another, which is enough to show that this road is not as open as human imagination.

There were already two or three people at the scene who were beginning to waver.

There were many doubts about the matter of Conis ascending to God. Chu Ming's mind was so confused that he had no time to care about other people's feelings.

He gave Marcel a few words and asked him to do a good job in management. Once Konis fell, the orc army would be on the ground tomorrow. If he couldn't find a way to do something, morale would only get lower.

Chu Ming bid farewell to everyone, holding the ashes of the myth in his hands, and returned to the direction of the wizard tower.

"Tomorrow the orc army will arrive at the third barrier. With gods personally controlling the battlefield, there is no suspense in this battlefield."

"Now that Konis is gone, I have to rely on myself for everything."

Chu Ming sighed slightly.

A few minutes later, he returned to the wizard tower room and began to think of a solution.

"The road to ascending to the gods obviously hides dangers that I don't know about, and the Dragon Kings have never encountered."

"It's impossible for Isabel to deceive me. There is only one possibility. Human beings' path to becoming gods is different from that of dragons, and their experiences are not the same."

Chu Ming had some vague doubts in his heart.

As long as he couldn't find out what happened on the way to the gods, he wouldn't dare to light the divine fire at will, otherwise he would most likely end up like Konis.

"So now we can only rely on the power of faith?"

Chu Ming took out the Godhead of Faith and frowned slightly.

"Is there any other ethnic group in this world that I don't know about?"

"Dragon, goblin, dwarf, goblin..."

He went through all the racial creatures in his mind and found nothing.

Chu Ming sat in front of a chair and meditated for several hours. When noon came, the sun shone unusually brightly outside.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the knight said respectfully: "Sir, there are two mages from southern Xinjiang looking for you outside, saying that they have important matters to discuss with you."

Chu Ming was stunned. Could it be that something happened in southern Xinjiang?

"Invite them in."

"yes!"

The knight went downstairs and brought the two guests up, opened the door, and invited them in.

Chu Ming looked toward the door with a surprised expression on his face because he saw two people he didn't expect.

"Crono, Senior Sister Elena?"

"Why are you here?"

When he mentioned this, Crono couldn't help complaining: "I was still planning the construction of a new city in the City of Holy Trees, and this guy insists on dragging me to the front line. Don't you know how dangerous it is here? Add to this for you." It’s not good to be in trouble.”

Chu Ming sighed, "You certainly came at the wrong time. Tomorrow the God of War and Desolation will bring an army of orcs to the border. Maybe Fengyang's army will abandon the fortress city and flee."

When Crono heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble. Although he vaguely realized that the matter was serious, he thought that it would be so serious and that it actually involved the gods.

Elena smiled slightly and said, "Junior brother Ren, we haven't seen each other for a few years, but you have already reached this point. It seems we are right."

Crono asked curiously: "Has Ren already entered the legendary half-king realm?"

Elena said with disdain: "Without knowledge, all the half-kings in the city combined cannot be his opponent, what do you think?"

"What?!"

Crono's face was full of shock. Although Elena's words didn't sound very nice, he knew that except for those ridiculing words, most of what the woman said was true.

In other words, they had not seen each other for only a few years, and Chu Ming had already surpassed the peak of knighthood and reached an unknown realm that ordinary people could not imagine!

When he thought of this, Crono could only sigh in his heart.

If he would still be thinking about comparing with Chu Ming before, now he is showing off.

After all, with the resources of the Mage Conference and the guidance of Elena, it only took him a few years to break through to the mage legend. He is enough to be called a genius among the legends of the Mage Conference, but compared with Chu Ming, this is Achievements seem insignificant.

Chu Ming invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa in the hall, "By the way, you haven't said why you came to me. Could it be that something happened in southern Xinjiang?"

When Crono heard this, he scratched his head in confusion and looked at Elena.

Elena took the tea from the servant and said, "I want to come here, this guy just accompanied me."

The woman took a sip of tea and looked at Chu Ming, "I guess you are in trouble now."

Chu Ming was stunned, "Sister, how do you know."

Elena rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't it obvious? The God of War and Desolation is obviously not something you can deal with."

"Tell me, what are your plans now, maybe I can help."

Her eyes flickered, and her words were full of strong confidence.

Chu Ming supported his chin and fell into thought.

Elena's origin was extremely mysterious, and she knew many secrets that he didn't know. Maybe she could really help.

With this idea in mind, Chu Ming opened his palm, and the light gathered like water vapor, forming a pure square, with the divine light on it flowing like stars, and it was extraordinary at a glance.

"Faith in Godhead?"

Elena said the identity of the thing in front of her in one word. She looked at Chu Ming deeply and smiled.

"Brother Ryan, I underestimated you."

"It seems that you are still one step away from the final step, and you need new ethnic groups to contribute their faith power."

Chu Ming was secretly surprised. Before he said anything, Elena guessed his thoughts.

Could it be that a woman could really help him?

He asked, "I have spread the faith beyond the continent, but there are still some shortcomings. Senior sister, do you have any news about the unknown ethnic groups?"

Elena lifted her thighs and raised the corners of her mouth, "Not only do I know, I can also take you to find them in person."

Chu Ming was shocked. Before he could speak, the woman continued, "You can ask me to help you, but you need to agree to one condition."

After hearing this, Chu Ming calmed down instantly. He asked carefully, "What is the condition?"

Elena did not answer, but looked at Krono, "It's better not to listen to the next topic, it's not good for you."

Krono curled his lips and said, "Could I die on the spot if I hear it?"

Elena narrowed her eyes, "It's not impossible."

She was too lazy to argue with Krono. She tapped the table with her fingers. Unlike the previous ice power, a dark shadow emerged from the ground and wrapped her and Chu Ming in it.

"What is this?"

Chu Ming showed a puzzled look on his face. He sensed a familiar breath on the dark shadow.

Elena stood up and stepped into the dark space. She chuckled and asked, "Does it feel familiar?"

Chu Ming nodded.

"Because you have seen this power before, but not in this life."

Chu Ming was shocked and thought of a possibility, and quickly regained his composure.

"It seems that you already know."

Elena wandered in the air like a ghost. She gently lifted Chu Ming's cheek with her slender fingers and whispered, "Should I call you Junior Brother Ryan, or Forbidden Wizard Nalund?"

Chu Ming's face remained unchanged, "These are all me."

"You should have tracked me down through the mark that the Shadow Spider Queen left on me that year."

After the last battle between the Forbidden Giant and the Writing, Chu Ming crossed the Tianqian Mountains to track down the Shadow Giant and met the mythical creature Shadow Spider Queen in the Golden Tribe ruins.

If it weren't for the Holy Mark of Life that played a role at the critical moment, he might have been forever sunk into the dark land.

But now it seems that the Shadow Spider Queen has no ill will towards him.

Probably?

"So what is your relationship with that myth, Senior Sister?"

Elena floated away and whispered, "Little Junior Brother, relax. We have no ill will towards you. On the contrary, we still need your help."

"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Elena Baburin, the chosen one of the Shadow Gods. I have been walking in the world for two hundred years."

"Our teacher, Grace Savigne, is the incarnation of the Lord God, which is what you call the evil god."

She chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Junior Brother, you are still a student of the God of Shadows."

Chu Ming's mind moved, "I remember that the Lord God seemed to have a serious aura of darkness."

Elena heard this and sighed slightly, "The God was reborn in the dark land. If it weren't for the revival of magic power, he might have sunk into darkness."

"During the thousands of years you disappeared, the Lord God has been suffering from the pain of darkness. He has been looking forward to your reappearance."

"Why?" Chu Ming asked in confusion.

Elena's eyes flickered slightly, "The gods once promised a certain agreement with the God of Life. Only you can help the gods get rid of their original dark body and ascend to the position of the God of Law."

"As for the content of the agreement, I don't know either."

"You only need to promise to help us at some point in the future, and I can help you deal with the God of War and Desolation."

Chu Ming fell into deep thought. He gently stroked the holy scar of life on his right hand, realizing that what Elena said was probably true.

If there is no agreement, Elena's use of life as an excuse to cause divine punishment is not a light punishment, after all, she wants to deceive a chosen one of the Gods of Life.

"How have you considered it?" Elena's voice sounded.

Chu Ming nodded and said, "Since it is something that the God of Life approves, there is nothing to hesitate about."

"I can help you, but I want to know how you are going to deal with the God of War and Desolation?"

"That's simple."

Elena smiled and said, "Aren't you still short of believers? In the shadow land, there are as many creatures with shadow blood as you want, you can choose whatever you want."

Chu Ming's eyes lit up. Shadow creatures? Rare magical creatures. I didn't expect that the God of Shadows also controlled the places where shadow creatures lived.

As long as he had enough believers of shadow creatures, he would be able to quickly complete the faith godhood and ignite the divine fire.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the God of Faith was born, he would be able to deal with the God of War and Desolation.

But in this case, wouldn't he have to do it himself?

Elena saw what he was thinking, "The Serpent of Order and the Dragon King patrol the world, life is righteous, resisting external evil, and shadows also have their own mission."

"In the mythological forbidden area at the center of the continent, there are quite a few mythological creatures. The reason why they can stay in the forbidden area is the credit of shadows."

"The God of Shadows suffers from darkness, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy. If he appears outside the mythological forbidden area, it is hard to say whether the Lord God will deal with the God of War and Desolation or you."

Chu Ming shook his head helplessly, "I'll do it myself."

"The orc army will arrive at the third barrier tomorrow, we have to hurry."

Elena nodded, dispelled the shadows, and the two returned to the hall of the wizard tower.

Chu Ming went out for a while and found Marcel who was organizing soldiers to move supplies in the city.

The kings discussed that since they could not fight against the orc army led by the gods, it would be better to evacuate in advance and bury a huge amount of magic crystal bombs in the city, waiting for the orc army to enter the barrier city and detonate them, which might cause some damage to the army.

However, due to the fall of Conis, the morale of the army was low and the soldiers' efficiency was low, which gave Marcel a headache.

Seeing Chu Ming coming over, Marcel was stunned, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

He hurriedly explained: "I have discussed with the generals and are ready to abandon the third rampart and retreat to the second rampart..."

Chu Ming waved his hand and interrupted the man, "I'm not here to ask this."

"I'm going to leave the rampart city tonight, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."

"You act according to the retreat plan and try to help me delay the speed of the orc army. When I come back, I will solve everything."

Marcel was stunned, and then he seemed to realize something and became excited, "Does your lord have a way to stop the war of gods?!"

Chu Ming nodded seriously.

Not to stop the war of gods, but to end it!

"Remember, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, wait for me to come back."

"I will personally wipe out all the beast kings and eradicate the belief in the God of War and Desolation."

When Marcel heard these heroic words, his sadness for the fall of Conis and his worries about the orc army were reduced a little, and his mood became much more cheerful.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here."

Chu Ming patted the man's shoulder, turned and walked towards the wizard tower, leaving Marcel, who was still excited.

He waved to the soldiers and shouted, "Come on, notify the kings to hold a meeting immediately, I have something important to announce!"

"Yes!"
