Chapter 66: Twilight
During the time when the Ancient Gods were also fighting, the Real World, the Spirit World, and the Astral World were all in extreme turmoil; at this very moment, a faint figure appeared in a corner of the Spirit World.
It was Amanises.
She held the Death Scythe in her hand, sensing the location of the Underworld with great care.
This scythe came from a Phoenix of Sequence 2 of the Death Pathway and had a very deep connection to the Underworld.
At this time, the gates of the Underworld were wide open as the Ancestor of the Phoenixes had gone out to participate in the war, so she found the Underworld in the depths of the Spirit World without much effort.
Her figure turned into a sketch and was erased by an eraser, and when she appeared again, she had already stepped onto the land of the Underworld.
What came into view was a huge, bottomless pit, with all kinds of strange-looking buildings built around it, forming a city of the undead.
The rules of the Underworld could transform all life into undead, becoming existence like corpses, turning cold and indifferent.
"The realm of the dead..." This was the essence of the Phoenix Ancestor's God's Kingdom.
Amanises walked in this Underworld, maintaining a state of semi-Concealment; unless the Phoenix returned, no living being in the Underworld could discover her.
"Salinger..." Amanises soon arrived in the depths of the Underworld and saw her former colleague.
The God of the Undead, Salinger, had already defected to the Phoenix after the death of the Destruction Demon Wolf, and as a Sequence 2, he had already become one of the subordinate gods of the Underworld.
Amanises confirmed something, but she did not approach; instead, she left this place and dropped a palm-sized Bronze Gate in an inconspicuous corner.
This gate was transformed from a Phoenix hunted by the Creator Kingdom, embodying the "Gatekeeper" trait of Sequence 5 of the Death Pathway.
But now it had been "notarized" by the Ancient Sun God, and its ability to connect to the Underworld had been greatly strengthened.
Afterwards, the gate was split into two, and because both possessed the same traits, the connection between them was extremely close.
And this gate was very similar to the overall style of the Underworld, so the undead would not find anything amiss.
Afterwards, the Goddess completely concealed herself in this Underworld, waiting for the opportunity to arrive.
The God War had ceased, and the various Ancient Gods had all returned to their own homes.
Boom!
The Elf Divine Kingdom completely collapsed, with some parts falling into the Spirit World and others returning to the seabed.
However, Chumen did not immediately return to the Creator Kingdom, but instead went Roaming to the Giant King's Court.
"Stop!" Chumen was stopped by the guards of the Giant Race.
"Give this thing to 'Dawn'." Chumen could not be bothered to talk nonsense; he took a palm-sized bronze gate directly from his treasury and threw it over.
When the Giant Race guards wanted to look for Chumen's figure again, he had already disappeared into the air.
"It's an Angel!" The Giant Race guards all knew what kind of figure they had encountered and hurriedly sent the item into the Giant King's Court.
After several inspections, the item was finally delivered to the hands of the "God of Dawn" Badehaier.
"This thing..." Badehaier took the item directly into his hand, sensing it with his Spirituality, and felt a faint, black deathly aura.
"... It seems to be related to the Underworld! It can find the coordinates of the Underworld and Open Door to enter! It is Dream!" The Dawn Armor in Badehaier's single eye surged violently.
"This is an opportunity!" Badehaier realized this fact, and then fell into a deep struggle.
He knew very well what the result would be if he sent this thing to the Giant King.
At that time, the Giant King would attack the Underworld like a madman, and the invisible alliance against the Creator would instantly break.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Dragon of Imagination to resist the Ancient Sun God's attack alone; it would likely fall, and the Ancient Sun God would be strengthened once again.
But Badehaier also knew very well that what the Giant King wanted was clearly not this kind of invisible alliance, but the most powerful version of himself.
As long as he could break into the Underworld and obtain sufficient gains before the war between the Creator and the Dragon ended, then he would go to search for the traces of the Goddess of Misfortune and truly have the qualifications to share the world with the Creator!
In this way, the status of one of the twins of the Giant Race would continue, only the opponent would change from the Dragon to the Ancient Sun God!
The ideal is very beautiful, just like that Dream... Badehaier said in his heart.
Badehaier knew many things that the Giant King did not understand, and he even unilaterally assumed that he had already reached a certain tacit understanding with Dream.
All of this was also fulfilled at this moment; Dream had sent the "gate" that could enter the Underworld, handing the power of decision into his hands.
With this thing, the Underworld that had been sealed by the Phoenix Ancestor was no longer a problem.
Badehaier closed his single eye, the Dawn Armor retracted, and he shrouded himself in the solidified Twilight.
He remembered the Decaying Forest, and the guilt that had echoed there for thousands of years without ceasing.
"Why must it be 'Dawn', and why can it not be 'Twilight'?"
The Giant was thinking, and then he made a decision.
He strode toward the palace of Twilight, walking before the irritable Giant King.
"Father God! Dream has sent me the coordinates of the Underworld; the Creator's side wants us to fight to the death with the Phoenix's side!"
Badehaier knelt on one knee, laying out his guess completely.
Time seemed to have frozen; the Giant King Ormir, the Giant Queen Omebella, and the God of Honor Bradel, the three highest-ranking members of the Giant Race, were all in this palace.
The tyrannical aura on the Giant King's body instantly calmed down as he looked at the small bronze gate in Badehaier's hand.
This thing was only the size of a human palm, insignificant in the hands of a Giant, but it was this thing that made the Giant King's gaze burn fiercely, and the Twilight that wrapped around the Giant King's Court was boiling.
"Father God! It is too dangerous!" Badehaier said in a muffled voice, "The Sun God's side will inevitably move against the Dragon while we are attacking the Phoenix!"
"The risk is too great!" Omebella also advised.
"What is there to fear? Even if the Sun God comes, we can still have a fight!" Bradel sneered, "Badehaier, you are too timid!"
"Father God..." Badehaier remained kneeling on the ground, not even looking at Bradel.
"Say no more!" Ormir spoke, suppressing all voices; his will could not be defied.
"Omebella, Bradel, go and summon all the warriors of my Giant Race!"
"I will personally locate the coordinates of the Underworld!" Ormir directly eroded the palm-sized bronze gate with the Twilight Light, sensing a trace of connection to the Underworld from within.
"It has the power of the Sun!" The Giant King noticed the key to it, but he paid more attention to the Underworld aura within it.
This gate not only had its own connection to the Underworld greatly strengthened, but it also faintly had a stronger connection piercing through the "door" sealed by the Phoenix.
The Giant King's mood surged, and the Twilight over the Giant King's Court churned Xue along with it. But the next instant, all of his malice toward the Underworld vanished.
The Ancient God's Malice Concealment made it so that even the Ancestor of the Phoenixes could not develop a spiritual premonition.
