Chapter 1252: The Test

The disappearance of the Batra race was something the Ancient Necromancer race certainly noticed, but Akas was simply too strong, strong to the point of making the Ancient Necromancer race despair.

More than ten years later, the Ancient Necromancer race was still the hegemon of the Xiya continent, while Akas lived in the Law-Extinguishing Hall, which was now the Law-Extinguisher ruins. This was the temple built by the Batra race for Akas. At that time, there were no sculptures in the hall; that was the peak period of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow.

Akas descending to the Xiya world was not to bully the local natives, but to solve the problem of the elemental system being on the verge of collapse.

Sixteen years later, the Xiya world finally adapted to Akas, at least Akas could walk around at will without causing spatial collapse.

Of course, there were differences in strength among the Law-Extinguishing Shadows. Akas's strength among the Law-Extinguishing Shadows was definitely in the top ten—of course, among the Law-Extinguishing Shadows alive at that time.

After being able to move freely, Akas began to solve the problem of the elemental system being on the verge of collapse. What caused the elemental system to be on the verge of collapse was the Necromancer magic used by the Ancient Necromancer race; that was a type of magic with dark element + water element affinity.

Not long after, the Necromancer magic of the Ancient Necromancer race was severed, or rather, this was the destruction of a dynasty. This dynasty was named the Xiya Dynasty.

After the Xiya Emperor died, the human race became the hegemon of this world. Who ruled this world, Akas didn't care at all; he only needed to balance the elemental system.

After solving the problem of the elemental system, Akas did not exterminate the Ancient Necromancer race, but teleported them to a nearby barren planet. The Necromancer magic had already been severed; whether these Necromancer race members lived or died was no longer important.

And at this time, a human stood out. He risked his life to follow Akas. This human was named Adelaide Herbert.

After following Akas for a few days, Adelaide Herbert returned to the human world. He claimed to be an envoy sent by Akas. While obtaining a large amount of financial support, he began to recruit troops. Just a few years later, this opportunist gathered a large group of poor people and began to overthrow the tyranny of the five great kingdoms.

Clearly, Adelaide Herbert succeeded. When he established the Saint Sodin Kingdom, he set the capital at the original site of the Xiya Dynasty and built the palace on the Xiya Temple. The Ancient Necromancer race members who were originally imprisoned in the Xiya Temple were very angry, but they had already been stripped of their Necromancer magic. Those broken bodies meant they could neither live nor die; this was a punishment more cruel than death.

Not long after, Akas left this world and left behind a puppet mechanism in this world. His puppet mechanism had some of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow's abilities and possessed its own consciousness, similar to an alchemical creature.

The puppet mechanism had been guarding the Law-Extinguishing Hall. The rise and fall of human dynasties had nothing to do with it, until one day many years later, those exiled Necromancer race members stumbled upon a spatial passage and returned to the Xiya world. The location was the Dark Moon Swamp. The name "Necromancer race" was not essentially named by the Iron Crown King, or rather, he was using the name from the past.

The history of the Xiya continent that Su Xiao had learned before started after the Iron Crown King established the kingdom. History was like the wife of a loser; the winner could play with it however they wanted.

The Necromancer race at this time was the current Necromancer race. They possessed body types similar to humans, wisdom similar to humans, and even creativity exceeding humans. They no longer had much relationship with the Ancient Necromancer race. On that barren planet, they had evolved generation after generation.

The new Necromancer race knew of the existence of Law-Extinguishers. Holding the idea that only "magic" could defeat "magic," they developed an ability similar to Green Qing Qing Gang Ying, but what they didn't know was that Green Qing Qing Gang Ying was only one of the Law-Extinguisher's abilities.

The new Necromancer race came to the front of the Law-Extinguishing Hall in high spirits. The puppet mechanism inside "entertained" them. From then on, the Law-Extinguishing Hall became a restricted area for the Necromancer race.

The Necromancer race was completely terrified by the Law-Extinguisher this time. However, the one who killed them was just a puppet mechanism Akas had left behind casually.

Knowing they were no match, the Necromancer race turned their anger toward humans. They couldn't beat the "Law-Extinguisher," but couldn't they beat humans? You know, these guys were once just farmers, planting sweet vegetables and plump grain for the Necromancer race.

After a round of fighting, the Necromancer race was surprised to find that they were actually a bit unable to beat humans. This was very frustrating. Although humans were no match on the front battlefield, the number of humans was huge. What made the Necromancer race even more shocked was that humans actually built a city wall, separating the territories of both sides. To this day, the Necromancer race still couldn't figure out how humans built this city wall.

The former hegemon, the Necromancer race, was very angry, but they could only accept reality. However, they never forgot one point: their ancestors were suppressed under the human capital. They wanted to go and rescue their ancestors and revitalize the glory of the past. Therefore, they attacked the God Wall without stopping for a moment, just to rescue those ancestors.

After reading the murals and the text below, Su Xiao fully understood the grievances between the Necromancer race and humans. The Long Blade User Kong, the Armor Spirit, etc., that he had encountered in the Xiya Temple before, were all Ancient Necromancer race members, very different from the Necromancer race living on the continent now.

Su Xiao had been puzzled before why the human royal family wanted to build the palace on a tomb. Now it seemed that humans were guarding the Xiya Temple spontaneously; this was clearly bootlicking.

And inside the Xiya Temple were the original masters of the Xiya continent. They had once established an extremely prosperous dynasty, the Xiya Dynasty. Relying on the power of Necromancer magic, the Ancient Necromancer race dominated the Xiya continent until the descent of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow.

The descent of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow was a devastating disaster for the Xiya Dynasty, but the Xiya Dynasty didn't know that if they continued to use Necromancer magic, the planet they lived on would collapse, and all living beings on the planet would perish.

As for the bickering between humans and the Necromancer race now, it was racial hatred plus old grudges. And the current Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins were partially rebuilt by Akas. As for the sculptures, they were imitated by the puppet mechanism responsible for guarding here. It returned to the Void and learned that the era of Law-Extinguishers had passed, so it returned to the Xiya continent, built these sculptures, and then returned to the Void again to fight those spellcasters, eventually dissipating.

【Prompt: The Hunter has read the lost history of the Xiya continent and obtained 5% of the World's Source.】

Having obtained this unexpected gain, Su Xiao no longer paid attention to the murals on the stone gates, but looked at the three stone gates. He took out the Stone of Extinction and the Stone of Law. As for the Stone of Shadow, it was not needed for the time being.

The Stone of Extinction floated from Su Xiao's hand, flew straight toward the first stone gate, and was embedded in the stone gate.

*Crack, crack... *

Large cracks appeared on the stone gate, which then collapsed. The Stone of Extinction floated in the rubble, and Su Xiao grabbed the Stone of Extinction in his hand.

Behind the shattered stone gate, it was pitch black. All light sources were swallowed by the darkness inside the gate, and thick malice emanated from within.

"Get lost."

"Get out!"

"You are not qualified to enter here!"

Inside the gate hole, there seemed to be multiple terrifying consciousnesses, rejecting Su Xiao from entering.

In the distance, Marvin Waltz's gaze swept toward the gate hole. He had lied to Su Xiao before; there was no danger inside the three stone gates, or rather, there was no danger for a Law-Extinguishing Shadow to enter.

The three stone gates were three types of tests: Courage (Gate of Extinction), Wisdom (Gate of Law), and Potential (Gate of Shadow). Each time he passed a test, Su Xiao could obtain a gift from the Law-Extinguisher Akas—a gift from a predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadow.

Akas had set these up before leaving, prepared for any Law-Extinguishing Shadow who might reach here in the future. From this point of view, the relationship between Law-Extinguishing Shadows was relatively friendly, at least they didn't pit each other; they were very united internally.

It was reasonable to think so. Law-Extinguishing Shadows originally had a bunch of deadly enemies. If they weren't united internally, they would have been wiped out long ago, rather than being dragged down by human-sea tactics. ===== CHAPTER 1253 =====
