Chapter 488 A Major Turning Point!

Chapter 237 The Opening of the Heavenly Eye

The battle at the Anderson Farm gradually came to an end.

Master Piel burned his life force to seal the Outer God that had transformed into a sea of red threadworms on the spot, preventing it from advancing an inch.

No one else dared to approach the desperate battlefield of two top-level beings.

On the other hand, Suren had been unable to do anything to the "Hymn Witch" Maria, but now Mr. Mirror had arrived.

With a golden thigh secretly helping, Suren used a little trick and soon killed her on the spot.

The body fell into the farm's cowshed.

The souls of the Ten Legendary Hunters were rare cultivation resources. Although using them to make wax figures would certainly be good, Suren chose to directly absorb and digest them.

With this harvest, he filled in many of his shortcomings in the [Music] Law.

Moreover, after the harvest, Suren realized that his previous understanding of music was really superficial.

Music is singing?

No, it is one of the fundamental rules of the universe.

Suren finally understood why others were so powerful, while the power of his [Siren Banshee Doll] was not as good as he had hoped.

After digesting Maria's soul, he realized that he had only known how to make the puppets make sounds, and had ignored the power of the Law contained in the music itself.

Not just sound waves, but also the power of Law.

When the Primordial Creator created all things, sound and rhythm were also crucial parts of it.

The crying of babies, the death of living beings, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, the collapse of stars... these sounds may sound like the sounds of all things.

But mixed together, it is the entire universe playing a grand chorus together.

When you listen, you can hear the universe telling you a mysterious story.

A story about music.

...

Pestoya squatted beside Suren, watching him collect the spoils.

The ghost girl's crystalline eyes turned with a mischievous light. She looked at the corpse and suggested with a small expectation: "Mr. Suren, can you help me make her into a doll? The kind that can sing. Her singing is so nice..."

Suren knew that Pestoya liked to collect all kinds of terrifying dolls when they first met at Stormwind Manor.

He wasn't surprised at all, and smiled slightly, "Okay."

The art of terrifying wax figures can preserve many of the corpse's abilities from its lifetime. This Legendary Hunter's corpse was the two-solved [C-025-Singer]. No matter how good the combat power of the wax figure is, at least singing is no problem.

After Suren finished collecting the corpse, he sat cross-legged on the spot to meditate.

He had been seriously injured in the battle just now. Now that the overall situation was settled, he had the opportunity to take some time to heal.

And his attention was always focused on the distant valley where Piel and the Outer God had fought to the death.

Not only him, but almost everyone was staring at it.

At this moment, the energy in the valley was as terrifying as a radiation source. Even from several kilometers away, it gave people a sense of heart-palpitating and fatal feeling.

Before long, when the radiance of dawn lit up, Mr. Mirror's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "It's okay."

Suren suddenly opened his eyes and listened with joy: Senior sister understands me!

Without asking a word, he unhesitatingly pinched the warlock seal and teleported over.

At this moment, the valley was a rotten black, with various chaotic Law fluctuations and spatial cracks remaining everywhere.

The violent Disaster Law obliterated all living beings in the valley, like a cursed land with strong curse characteristics. It would probably be barren for the next hundred years.

There was also the Fire Law left by Master Piel. The entire valley was like a volcano. Coming in would make one's heart burn, making people feel like their bodies were about to burn.

Suren carefully avoided those spatial cracks.

He himself had a not low understanding of Disaster and Fire Laws. With the domain field protecting him, he didn't encounter any danger as he cautiously approached.

Dark spiritual power poured into the black umbrella, and he quickly sensed some soul fluctuations.

Suren teleported over and quickly put the few incomplete soul fragments into the black umbrella.

Unfortunately, at the last moment of his life, Master Piel burned his soul power in exchange for the power to trap the Outer God. Later, after the aftermath of the war subsided, and after waiting for a long time, the soul had not completely dissipated. This was all because the master's soul was far more powerful than that of ordinary professionals.

But even with the fragments, he didn't dare to absorb them rashly.

These fragments contained Master Piel's and the Outer God's souls. Absorbing the super-rank cognition contained in them all at once would most likely cause him to collapse on the spot.

Fortunately, the black umbrella could preserve spiritual bodies. Suren wasn't in a hurry and planned to find a safe environment to slowly absorb them.

He searched the rotten black valley again, but found nothing left behind.

The place was like a nuclear explosion site, leaving no physical objects behind.

...

Suren returned to the outside of the Alchemical Sanctuary.

There weren't many people here anymore.

After those nobles from Lunden's legions confirmed that the Outer God was dead, they left.

The death of the Outer God was just the beginning for those nobles in the opposition. Waiting for them was a feast of power. They were going to divide the flesh and blood of this decaying lion, Luyen.

When Suren returned, Mr. Mirror was still sitting cross-legged in meditation on a pile of stones on the farm.

The previous battle had obviously injured her as well.

There were also seven or eight people wearing gold-patterned cloaks on the farm. These were Mr. Black and Chijo, who had rushed over.

Almost all of the Dawn's core members were here, and everyone was more or less injured.

The glow of dawn dispelled the darkness, and everyone's faces were more or less tired.

But everyone had a sense of relief.

Chijo looked at Suren's return and greeted, "Suren kid, are you okay?"

In the previous battle, the most dangerous thing was here. Suren had been carrying it alone for so long from discovery to tracking, and the danger was self-evident.

Suren smiled and responded, "Nothing serious."

As he spoke, he walked to Chijo and the others.

Mr. Mirror also asked, "How is it?"

Suren felt a little regret and said, "I found some soul fragments."

Mr. Mirror didn't seem surprised and nodded with a normal expression.

The conspiracy of the Outer Gods was completely over. Although the morning breeze carried a trace of blood, it gave people a feeling of freedom and comfort.

This was the northern suburbs of Lunden, and there were still fierce gunfires in the city.

But the Dawn people had no intention of participating.

They had gathered in Lunden this time to deal with the Outer God's conspiracy.

As for the situation in Lunden, what the fate of the Bona Royal Family would be, and who would ultimately be in power... these were all irrelevant to the Dawn people.

As long as the Alchemical Civilization wasn't ruled by the God believers, it didn't matter who was the emperor.

Perhaps some Outer God believers had escaped, but if they really wanted to become a force again, it would be countless years later.

Suren recalled this night and realized that a lot had happened.

Starting from calculating the demon monk, he had been in a fierce battle.

Large-scale wars were really meat grinders. In this war, not to mention the death of Master Piel, who was at the ninth rank, the other eighth-rank professionals that Suren knew had died three. There were more seventh-rank professionals, and Suren had personally killed two of the "Ten Legendary Hunters". Below that, they were really cannon fodder...

Seeing too much death, Suren felt deeply while becoming more and more aware of his lack of strength.

Having seen this kind of large-scale war for the first time, he deeply realized that the power of the individual was really weak.

He was even more determined that his puppet sea tactics must improve their combat power as soon as possible.

After several fierce battles, he also gained a lot. The most direct thing was that he had comprehended his "Domain of Death".

The seventh rank was a big threshold for professionals, and now it seemed that he had touched the threshold. Suren's plan for his future path was becoming clearer and clearer.

There was also a [Ten Thousand Blood Refined Crystal] in the storage space, and after digesting it, it should be enough to fuse the [Isaac Giant's Power].

Then there were the soul fragments of Master Piel and the Outer God. It was hard to say what he would get after digesting them...

But after digesting the gains of this battle, Suren felt that his combat power would definitely go to the next level.

If he could really advance to the seventh rank, he would really cross the threshold of top-level professionals.

Mr. Mirror had the hope of entering the ninth rank, and Dawn was gradually growing stronger. Everything seemed to be getting better.

...

Next to him, Chijo watched Suren daze and suddenly asked, "Suren kid, now that things here are over, where are you planning to go?"

Suren came back to his senses, thought for a while, and seriously replied, "I might go to the Mafa Empire first. My mechanical puppets are still lacking a lot of high-end technology. I want to see Carbitron, the Mafa Imperial Capital, which is known as the Mechanical Holy Land. Also, I want to get the [Sky Fortress] out. The Luyen military has too many technical defects in manufacturing Gusmao airships. I have to find some powerful mechanical engineers and large factories to see if I can restore the equipment on the drawings. There are still many things... In short, I have to go there."

He didn't finish.

Earlier, because Yekaterina had mastered the Luyen Military Intelligence Agency, he had heard a lot of classified intelligence from this channel.

In the archives management of the Military Intelligence Agency, there was a sealed file from a hundred years ago, which said that a book of Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript had appeared in the Mafa Empire. Some people even suspected that the Mafa's mechanical revolution was directly related to that notebook.

Also, the [Ouroboros Fragment], he already had three-quarters of it, and he was missing a small piece. The clue should also be in Mafa.

Then there was the treasure of the Pirate King Black Sam, the treasure of the [Hanged Man Tarot Card], Dragon Island...

There were many interesting things to arrange in the future.

Hearing this, Chijo raised her eyebrows and said, "Yo. What about your new wife? Also, the prince of the Rega Kingdom, are you not going to be him anymore?"

Suren knew that she was joking, but he also explained, "The transaction is over. The identity of Fick has nothing to do with me anymore. As for being a prince or something, I'm even less interested."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Chijo, and said, "Compared to that, I prefer to go on adventures with Sister Chijo."

Chijo listened and smiled playfully, seeming to like this answer, "Yo?"

Suren didn't say much.

Although the time he spent as a pirate at sea was not long, that experience was the most pleasant and free time he felt.

This time he came to Lunden, Suren saw nobles, politics, power, and the like.

Compared to that, he really felt that chasing power was too boring.

It was even less interesting than studying alchemy.

Moreover, after learning more about this world, Suren realized that the world was really infinitely vast.

Not to mention the two empires, there was also the endless deserted sea in the far west, and the magic beast mountains east of Mafa, where countless ancient civilization ruins were buried...

Then there were the other planes such as the void and the abyss!

If he didn't go and see them, he felt like a frog trapped in the bottom of a well, who had never jumped out of the well to see the wider world outside.

In such a wonderful world, being trapped in human infighting for power was really boring.

It just so happened that the matter in Lunden was resolved, and it seemed that he could go around again.

Now that his strength was not weak, he had a certain ability to protect himself no matter where he went to adventure.

Suren and Chijo chatted and both had the idea of going to sea for adventures.

But good times don't last long.

Just when they were chatting, suddenly!

Mr. Mirror, who had been listening silently with a slight smile on her lips, suddenly opened an eye.

Her eyes were sharp and she couldn't hide her shock: "Not good! Something happened!"

It was the first time Suren had seen his senior sister in such a state, and he frowned.

But after thinking about it, he was very puzzled.

Now that the Outer Gods had been killed, what else could happen?

Chijo's expression was stern and she asked directly, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Mirror didn't rush to answer, seeming to be using some mysterious art to calculate something.

After pondering for a long time, she said with a troubled expression, "Someone has manipulated fate and changed the direction of the Alchemical Plane's luck!"

The Dawn people didn't understand what this meant for a while, but they all had a sense of crisis that a storm was about to come, and their expressions became solemn.

...

At the same time, in a church in Lunden.

This was a small sect called "Heavenly Eye Divine Religion", which was almost unknown.

Earlier, in order to conceal the existence of the Giant Hermit Society, the Bona Royal Family promulgated the "Freedom of Religion Act."

But the Alchemical Plane had a very special history, and this act brought endless hidden dangers.

All kinds of Outer God sects, large and small, had legitimate activities in Lunden. Some mysterious sects that had been hidden for countless years also had the opportunity to openly recruit believers. Advertisements for various sects could be seen everywhere in the newspapers, and those believers also gathered in Lunden.

The fierce battle outside lasted all night, but the dozens of people in the church were safe and sound.

No one was distorted, and no one was affected by the Red Moon.

Because they had a stronger belief in God.

The spiritual pollution of the Sea Giant could not shake their faith at all!

These believers of the Heavenly God Religion were sitting around in the church, as if preparing for some kind of ritual. They were each standing on one side, and under their feet was a huge nine-pointed star magic circle.

Just when the light of dawn shone into the glass on the top of the church, someone came in from the outside and reported, "Holy Son, the distorted species outside have completely died. It seems that the Sea Giant has been killed."

Hearing this, a young man in the center of the magic circle opened his eyes and sneered, "Hmph, a false god who can't even condense a godhood. But it's good to die, it's creating an opportunity for us."

There was no respect for the gods in his tone, only contempt.

Looking closely, this young man had a strange appearance.

Although his facial features were no different from ordinary humans, there was a fine seam between his eyebrows, as if it were a tightly closed vertical pupil.

A roomful of believers heard this and knelt on the ground with devout faces.

An old man opened his mouth and said, "It has now been confirmed that the key to the Heavenly God Plane channel is in the Bona Royal Family's treasure vault. That Empress Charlotte has been driven to a desperate situation and is likely to make a final stand..."

The young man thought of something and said disdainfully, "Empress? Hehe, just a short-sighted old woman. That old woman actually tried to contract a false god that she couldn't control to maintain her imperial power, hehe, it's ridiculous... She was given the opportunity to be loyal to our Heavenly God Race, but she didn't cherish it. Now that she has no way out, she deserves it."

The old man asked again, "Holy Son, are we going to act?"

Hearing this, the corners of the young man's mouth rose with a smile, "Of course. The old woman's wrong decision also buried Luyen's luck and gave our Heavenly God Race an opportunity. If it weren't for her decree, I wouldn't have the opportunity to contact my fellow clansmen. There is no better opportunity now, so let's help her. Our Heavenly God Race bloodline has been trapped in this broken plane for countless years, and finally has the opportunity to connect to the main plane..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the believers in the church chanted magic spells, and the nine-pointed star formation gradually lit up.

The seam between the young man's eyebrows slowly opened, and a holy light that seemed to be able to penetrate the world lit up. He lightly shouted, "Myriad Forms True Understanding - Open!"

Having a vertical pupil on the head was a very rare bloodline talent.

If Mr. Mirror were here, she would probably recognize that this was [S-009-Myriad Forms True Understanding].

The young man unlocked the second-order ability of his eyes, as if he had seen an infinitely vast plane. He muttered to himself, "Divine Art - Fate Rejection!"

As soon as the warlock became successful, an invisible force quietly spread out from the nine-pointed star formation.

...

At Anderson Farm, Mr. Mirror had just spoken out some of his ominous premonitions.

At first, she also thought that the Outer God was not completely dead and was still looking for the reason in this regard.

But she couldn't find any clues for a long time.

At this moment, Suren's communicator rang.

On the other end of the communicator, Yekaterina urgently asked, "Suren, is something wrong with you? I just did a divination and the astrology has changed. A big change must happen!"

Hearing this tone, Suren vaguely guessed that it might be related to Mr. Mirror's prophecy.

Yekaterina sent a communication, probably also thinking that something was wrong with the Outer God.

But the fact was that no situation had been found yet.

He replied, "There is nothing wrong at the moment. What's wrong?"

The ability of prophecy was usually a vague direction, and Yekaterina seemed unable to explain it clearly.

After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have received some new information and suddenly communicated again, "Not good, something is wrong with the royal family!"

"Royal Family?"

Hearing this, Suren clearly felt that something was wrong.

It had reached this point, what else could the Bona Royal Family do?

Mr. Mirror was by his side. When she heard this, a sharp light flashed in her crystalline eyes. She obviously thought of something and said, "The problem may lie with the Bona Royal Family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a mirror light flashed and she disappeared.

Suren looked at the Dawn people next to him and said, "Shall we go and see?"

Everyone nodded.

Suren pinched the warlock seal, and the small void world opened, and everyone filed in.

...

Suren used spatial displacement and several ultra-long-distance teleports to quickly arrive near the Frederick Palace at the end of St. Glory Avenue.

At this moment, the outside of the palace was densely packed with various noble private soldiers.

After the evil god died and the Red Moon dissipated, the fighting in the city also subsided. Even if those remaining believers were not dead, they had almost all escaped.

Even the mechanical warriors from the Mafa Empire who had come to reinforce had broken through to the pier and escaped to sea by submarine.

Those who were still in the palace were the loyal ministers of the Bona Royal Family and the Royal Guard.

Duke Raphael, Duke Lance, Duke Roberts... the three dukes of the opposition faction gathered their men again and blocked the front of the palace.

Naturally, this posture was a palace coup.

Only three of the six National Assemblymen were left, and almost all of those political enemies had been cleared out in this catastrophe.

Almost exactly as planned, all of Luyen's power was now concentrated in the hands of the three of them.

This was a glorious victory!

They had won this political gamble!

Now was the time to negotiate with the Bona Royal Family.

Earlier, the old nobles still felt that the existence of the royal family was a bit awkward. After all, the Bona Royal Family had ruled Luyen for thousands of years, and the only royal family that people were accustomed to and recognized was the Bona family.

Overthrowing them was rebellious, and not overthrowing them would have endless troubles.

But just before the war, Empress Charlotte had admitted in front of everyone that she had contracted the Outer God.

Millions of residents of Lunden had died this time, and someone needed to take the blame.

If the Outer God had won, that would have been fine, after all, no one would dare to speak out against it.

But now, the opposition had won and the Outer God was dead.

Even the royal family could not bear this blame.

Empress Charlotte's resignation was a foregone conclusion!

Dozens of reporters were taking pictures with cameras, recording everything that was happening in front of the palace. They were about to witness Luyen's history.

The palace's defensive barrier had not been broken yet, but everyone had stopped attacking.

As nobles and ministers, they wanted to give the Bona Royal Family the final dignity.

When Suren teleported over, he was watching Duke Raphael standing in front of the palace, representing the opposition and trying to persuade the palace to surrender, "Your Majesty, during the catastrophe tonight, millions of people in Lunden died. The reason for everything was the descent of that evil god..."

...

Suren didn't think there was any problem with this scene.

No matter where it was, after a coup, the victors would bloody clear out the losers.

There was nothing wrong with this procedure.

Moreover, Empress Charlotte had done something that angered both gods and men this time. Whether it was exile or sending her to the gallows, it was justifiable.

Mr. Mirror next to him also frowned slightly, obviously also very puzzled.

She didn't plan to intervene in the internal power affairs of Luyen, but she didn't know who was manipulating fate and what they wanted to do.

However, before everyone could wait long, the palace gate opened and Empress Charlotte arrived at the door dressed neatly.

She was wearing the dark red gemstone emperor's dress she wore when she ascended the throne, and wore the Bona Royal Family's inherited treasure [Balati Crown], held the [Green Ray Scepter of Kingship] in her left hand, and held the [Cross Scepter Orb] in her right hand.

She looked at everyone with majesty, just like when she ascended the throne.

But her eyes no longer had composure, only a lost and bewildered look.

Duke Raphael saw the main character come out and continued, "Your Majesty..."

He was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Empress Charlotte, who asked, "Do you really want to force me..."

A sharp light flashed in Raphael's eyes. There was no room for retreat now. "Your Majesty, I and my colleagues have purged the evil god and his followers. Millions of people have died in Luyen in this disaster. I am deeply saddened..."

Empress Charlotte seemed not to have heard it at all and interrupted hysterically, frantically asking, "Do you really want to force me!"

Raphael frowned. No matter how he looked at it, this was an old woman who had gone mad.

He said lightly, "Your Majesty, no one is forcing you. I just want to say that you really did something wrong this time..."

Empress Charlotte coldly swept over everyone, as if she were still the supreme existence. She looked at the three dukes and suddenly asked, "Are you still loyal to the royal family?"

Duke Raphael and the three others replied, "Of course. We are ministers of the empire and will be loyal to the royal family forever."

In front of so many reporters, the royal family's face still had to be given.

Under normal circumstances, the overall situation was settled, and the face had been given. The empress should invite them in for negotiations and then strive for an outcome of being exiled to a remote area.

Otherwise, if they tore their faces apart, they might not even be able to keep the royal family's last face.

But unexpectedly, Empress Charlotte didn't follow the routine at all.

Hearing the nobles say loyalty, she opened the Scepter of Kingship and took out an old parchment from the hollow tube of the scepter, and shouted, "This is the covenant of loyalty signed by the thirty-six founding ministers at the beginning of the founding of the empire. They swore that their descendants would be loyal to the empire and the royal family for generations!"

Saying that, she shouted, "If you are still loyal to the royal family, then please write your names and the names of your families on it! Your names will be forever engraved on the glory of the empire!"

No one expected such a scene to be staged.

As soon as these words came out, the huge square was silent and the atmosphere instantly became strange.

The three dukes, Raphael, looked at each other and saw the coldness in each other's eyes.

...

In the distance, Suren also felt very puzzled when he saw this.

The "loyalty contract" was no different from a slave contract. Once signed, they would have to swear allegiance.

However, how could the three dukes, Raphael, who had worked so hard to reach this situation, agree?

Their ancestors were not founding heroes, so this contract had no effect on them. Besides, why didn't you take it out to sign when the royal family had control, and now you take it out?

Was this old woman really crazy?

Could she not see her situation now?

Not only Suren, but everyone thought that Empress Charlotte was crazy.

Falling from the high position of power, she wanted to use this last resort to hold on to the power she valued more than her life.

But what did she rely on!

Raphael and the three others didn't speak and looked on coldly.

"Hahahaha..."

Empress Charlotte looked around for a while with her head tilted, and her expression had become strangely insane.

She looked at everyone without speaking and roared to herself, "I knew it! I knew that you jackals wanted to usurp the throne of my Bona Royal Family! Now, I'm giving you one last chance, sign the contract, otherwise..."

Saying that, she opened the [Cross Scepter Orb] in her right hand, and an eyeball-like thing appeared inside.

She held the eyeball and shouted, "Otherwise, I will open the key to the plane channel and let you rebellious subjects be buried with the empire!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Everyone's eyes looked at the eyeball.

Others might not know the origin of the eyeball, but Suren's expression changed drastically: "Is this old woman really crazy?!"

The name identified by Omniscient Eye was [Key to the Heavenly God Plane Channel]!

He himself had the key to the void plane channel, so how could he not know what this thing meant?

Earlier, it was fine for millions of people in Extreme Lunden to worship the evil god, but now she wanted to use the plane channel to threaten these people and seize the imperial power that had completely left her?

Crazy!

She must be crazy!

Anyone who was mentally normal would never make such a move.

Only then did Suren realize that something was wrong with Empress Charlotte's mind!

Mr. Mirror beside him finally understood what her prophecy was pointing to. Looking at this key, her face turned pale!

...

In order to stabilize their imperial power, the royal family must have some backhands.

But obviously, no one expected that the Bona Royal Family would have such a thing in their hands!

For most people, plane channels were an out of reach topic. Only a very few people standing at the top of the pyramid in this world knew what plane keys were used for.

It was like Pandora's box in mythology. Once opened, it would be destruction.

Duke Raphael and the others were the few people who knew the threat of this thing!

However, once the plane channel was opened, not to mention the empire, the entire civilization would be destroyed.

How dare Empress Charlotte do this?

Was she going to drag the entire Alchemical Civilization to be buried with her for the sake of power?

The faces of several dukes changed drastically. They knew that it was impossible to negotiate with an old woman who had gone mad.

They even began to consider whether to agree and stabilize the old woman's thoughts of perishing together.

But at this time, an accident happened.

Suddenly, as if some mysterious force had attacked, twisting the key of fate, Empress Charlotte's face showed hysterical madness and she kept muttering, "You forced me, you forced me..."

As she spoke, she didn't give anyone a chance to stop her and pinched the mechanism of the eye.

In an instant, a beam of light soared into the sky.

ps. Asking for monthly tickets, the beginning of the month is very important, please everyone! The new volume of Dragon Island Adventure and the subsequent plane war are about to begin. I think it's a very interesting volume. The protagonist will also become very strong, and the One-Man Legion will truly kill everyone...
