Chapter 132: A Distinguished Guest Arrives

……

At the highest point of the Ancient Capital.

With the help of Dao Long's Magic, Han Ji's voice was able to resound through every corner of the Ancient Capital; everyone currently within the Golden Barrier could hear his voice.

"I have a regrettable piece of news to tell everyone: the Sha Yuan is approaching, and our Barrier cannot hold on much longer."

Han Ji's voice held no fear, nor anger, only a hint of relief.

He was tired.

Oscillating between hope and despair, he was on the verge of collapse.

From the initial Guillotine Plan to the later appearance of the Sha Yuan, and the charge toward the Sha Yuan, now, everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.

"I know many people are cursing, because as the guardians of the Ancient Capital, we Mages have failed to protect anything..."

"But we truly did our best."

"……"

The city was silent; the Mages guarding every corner of the inner city lowered their heads along with Han Ji.

"Stop being so sentimental," Dao Long interrupted.

"You don't have much time left, hurry up and tell them."

He had to have the Magic Array ready before Lv Cheng devoured that Emperor's soul; the condensation of Faith Power required time, and if the timing was missed, it would cause a major problem.

"Now, we have one final method," Han Ji said in a deep voice.

"But this method could also be digging our own graves. I cannot decide, so I leave this choice to everyone."

"I believe everyone saw earlier in the night that our Mages were busily setting up a special Magic Array. I do not know what that thing is, nor do I know the true effect of that thing, but I have no other choice."

"And now, I must tell everyone that this is a special Summoning Array. If all of us in the city call out together, perhaps we can summon a savior capable of resolving our current predicament, but..."

"It is also possible to summon a god of death!"

"Whether to try or to sit and wait for the Sha Yuan to break through the Barrier, I leave the choice of this matter to everyone. But no matter how everyone chooses, I, Han Ji, will stand here until the very last moment of the Ancient Capital!"

After speaking, Han Ji said no more and sat where he was, waiting for the result.

Although he could deceive everyone by saying that this Magic Array would definitely summon a savior, and that as long as everyone prayed piously, they would certainly overcome the crisis.

However, he could not bring himself to say it.

Because he knew nothing about this so-called Dark Demon God. If he deceived everyone and a problem arose from the result, he would not know how to face the deaths of these millions of people.

It was even possible that the Dark Demon God they summoned would cause an even greater catastrophe.

He could not afford such a consequence.

Therefore, he could only tell everyone about this matter and let the people of this Ancient Capital decide for themselves.

Whether to take a gamble or wait for death.

The final struggle...

"One more thing," Dao Long's voice suddenly resounded throughout the city.

"Pay attention to your attitude when praying. You are begging for the favor of a Demon God, not ordering his arrival. If there is a problem with this point, even if you succeed in summoning the Demon God, it will only be an enraged Demon God."

"Do not think that it doesn't matter if you fail, that the worst case is just death. Believe me, death is not the end; it is merely a beginning."

"……"

"An enraged Demon God, what does that mean?" Zhu Meng asked.

"Exactly what it sounds like," Dao Long glanced at the group of high-level officials present.

"Faith comes from the heart and cannot be faked. Once the Demon God successfully descends, he will be able to perceive the hearts of all of you—whether it is sincere, or fake, or like you, full of unwillingness."

"I will only warn you once: the Demon God's attitude depends on you."

"If you pray for salvation, he will bring salvation. If you harbor malice..."

"You will experience what true malice is."

His words were not a threat, but a fact.

The Demon-god-ified Lv Cheng in a moment would be a pure Demon, a truly pure Demon.

An incredibly capricious, true Demon God.

If he is coaxed into a good mood, everything is negotiable.

Moreover, he went to such great lengths precisely to obtain positive Faith Power; only this stuff could allow Lv Cheng to evolve safely!

"I will remind you one more time: pray sincerely!" Dao Long said with a serious expression.

"This is not a joke!"

……

Inside the Sha Yuan, in the Death Gate Chamber.

After Lv Cheng sent Mo Fan and the others out, the entire space became quiet. It did not continue to transport the Undead Army, but Ling Xi could feel that the death energy here was becoming increasingly dense!

"I forgot to ask just now."

Lv Cheng looked at Xi Zhe and the person in black robes who had wrapped themselves up tightly from head to toe.

"She and I are here to die for love, what about you two?"

"Are you two also here to die for love?"

Xi Zhe's face darkened, "Young Master Lv Cheng, now is not the time for jokes."

The Sha Yuan created by the Ancient King had an incredibly complex space, and it was also mixed with the rules of the Chaos Element. He was confident he could leave, but he needed time to understand this complex space.

However, the Lv Cheng before him might not give him the time!

"Not planning to say a few words?" Lv Cheng looked at the person in black robes.

"……"

"Forget it if you won't speak."

Lv Cheng turned around and walked toward the long stairs that could collapse at any moment.

"Wait a moment!" Xizhe grabbed Lv Cheng from behind.

"The space here is very complex; before I understand it clearly, do not run around anymore."

"No need to understand, there is only one path left." Lv Cheng pointed to the Nine Deaths One Life Bridge that was currently collapsing.

"Something is not right, this is the Death Gate Chamber, why have no more Undead appeared to stop our movements?" Ling Xi asked, puzzled.

"Because I have arrived," Lv Cheng laughed.

"When an honored guest arrives, the treatment is naturally different."

Ling Xi looked speechless, "What kind of honored guest are you?"

"I am certainly an honored guest." Lv Cheng walked in front.

Seeing that the black-robed person did not stop them, Xizhe said no more and focused on understanding the surrounding space.

"Are you sure this path is correct?" Ling Xi asked suspiciously.

Even Su Meng and Xizhe had not spoken yet; could this kid's understanding of space be stronger than those two?

"Of course, a guy who craves eternal life and has turned himself into something neither human nor ghost is very proactive after sensing the thing he dreams of," Lv Cheng said inexplicably.

"I do not need to recognize the path; it will guide me itself."

The Ancient King, who pioneered Eastern Undead Magic, was nothing more than a failure who craved eternal life.

After entering Sha Yuan, he began to release the endless life force from his body; the Ancient King's remnant soul had already sensed it, and now, whether he could reach the Blood Throne, the Ancient King was more anxious than he was!

……

Following the only path, Lv Cheng and the others soon arrived at the ice-crown-shaped altar.

Too lazy to walk, Lv Cheng arrived at the highest point of the altar in a few Teleportations.

In the center of the altar top, which was filled with white jade, sat a huge blood-colored jade, its sharp edges flying upward, looking like a throne composed of countless inverted Swords.

"Wait a moment!" Xizhe reached out to stop Lv Cheng again.

"This thing is very dangerous."

Lv Cheng showed a helpless expression and turned to look at the black-robed person, "Can you get him out of the way?"

"Hm?" Xizhe was stunned, but before he could make a move, the black-robed person pressed down on his shoulder.

"……"

Looking at the dense Undead Army before him, Xizhe fell silent.

At first, when Su Lu said this might be a difficult task, he did not understand.

It was just a High-level Mage; no matter how talented, he could not escape the palm of a Forbidden Curse Mage like him.

But now, he understood!
