Chapter 3627

As soon as the Abyss Treasure Chest was opened, a large amount of ghostly green smoke surged out from inside, not the black of the abyss, but the ghostly green of the Netherworld.

The moment he saw this ghostly green smoke, Su Xiao felt a bad premonition in his heart. When he received the prompt that followed, he knew he had hit the jackpot this time.

【You obtained Nether Bone Ring (Abyss · Original Sin Object).】

The moment he received this prompt, the Abyss Box had already appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he opened it. When a bone ring with a strong aura of the Netherworld, wronged souls, and the deep abyss appeared, Su Xiao used the Abyss Box in his hand to put it away with lightning speed.

With a "whoosh," the Goddess of Luck beside him only felt a strong wind hitting her face, blowing up her hair. As for what was opened in the Abyss Treasure Chest, she didn't see it clearly at all.

"What thing disappeared with a 'whoosh'?"

"……"

Su Xiao did not respond to the Goddess of Luck's words. He lowered his eyelids and sat on the crystal chair. The current situation was that another "Daddy Grade" object had been added to his collection.

Su Xiao had previously let the Bloodthirsty Armor devour the "Original Sin Bud," and the Bloodthirsty Armor's promotion to a "Quasi-Daddy Grade" object was already an inevitable result.

In this way, Su Xiao was carrying two "Quasi-Original Sin Objects" and one true "Original Sin Object." Even though he was a Hunter + Law-Extinguisher, he felt overwhelmed. So, before coming to the Saint Lan Kingdom this time, he let the Dragon God Dean disguise himself as him with the Ancient Mask.

This had three purposes: 1. To confuse Black Rose, making them think that Su Xiao's team had already boarded the train to the Saint Lan Kingdom, thereby deliberately letting the opponent intercept and kill them halfway.

2. To make the Dawn God Sect relax their vigilance, so as to arrive directly at the Divine Domain and kill the God of Radiance.

3. To let the Ancient Mask leave during this opportunity.

That's right, Su Xiao was not prepared to continue carrying the Ancient Mask. It was not only because using the current Ancient Mask required a great price, but also because carrying this mask all the time would cause the "Original Sin" characteristic that had just appeared on the mask to slowly dissipate due to this confinement.

Rather than that, it was better to let this mask develop on its own. Even if it really crossed that almost impossible step and became a true "Original Sin Object," it didn't matter. For Su Xiao, there was no risk.

Therefore, Su Xiao and the Ancient Mask made a "Vow." This time, dealing with Black Rose, the Ancient Mask had to let Su Xiao use it twice without cost. The time Dean used it just now was one of those times.

After two times, Su Xiao would lift all restrictions on the Ancient Mask and provide it with the coordinates of the Dark Continent. The reason was that there was an Abyss invasion zone there, and only by entering the "Abyss" could the Ancient Mask possibly go further.

But the problem now was that just after letting go of one "Quasi-Original Sin Object," Su Xiao opened a genuine big daddy from the Abyss Treasure Chest. The majestic and vast Netherworld aura made Su Xiao certain that the strength of this big daddy was definitely not below the "Abyss Jar" and the "Necronomicon," and was slightly higher than the Soul Crown.

To make an analogy, assuming the comprehensive danger level of an Original Sin Object is 90～100, then the "Abyss Jar" and the "Necronomicon" are both at the maximum value of 100, the "Soul Crown" reaches 99.5, and the newly opened "Nether Bone Ring" is also 100.

In addition to sensing the vast Netherworld aura, Su Xiao looked at Caesar, who was a hundred meters away in the state of "Man and Jar as One." This guy slipping away so far in an instant already explained many problems.

"Caesar, I have a deal..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Caesar, who had just taken off the Abyss Jar, was already more than 200 meters away. That suspicious look seemed to be asking: 'My dear friend, what did you just say?'

"……"

Su Xiao used his Hunter authority to materialize a soul coin savings card with a denomination of 30,000. The next instant, Caesar was already close at hand.

"30,000, get this thing away."

"The weather is nice today."

Caesar stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky still covered with World Thunder. Obviously, this aspect was not Caesar's strong suit. At that time, he and the Abyss Jar belonged to "a blind cat finding a dead mouse," but facing the 【Nether Bone Ring】 now was another situation.

"No way?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Caesar scratched his head. He pondered for a moment and said: "I have a slight way. This is not a question of reward. If we isolate the cause and effect now, my dear friend, you will have to pay a great price. It's better to use that box to trap it first. When the cause and effect slow down, we will think of a way."

"……"

Su Xiao did not speak, took out a cigarette and lit it, implicitly agreeing to Caesar's proposal.

"Time is almost up, I'm going to withdraw the sealing technique."

After Caesar left these words, he disappeared without taking two steps, going to the main hall of the ancient ruins to contact the technique that sealed spatial fluctuations.

This technique was activated by Caesar there after Su Xiao entered the Divine Domain, with the purpose of preventing the Dawn God Sect from coming to reinforce. Now it seems that the effect of this technique is very good.

A few minutes later, the turbid yellow mist that had been spreading at the edge of the Divine Domain dissipated. As soon as this yellow mist dissipated, a muffled sound came.

Thump, thump, thump...

Like a smashing sound from another space, it came one after another. The space not far away bulged one after another, and finally shattered into a piece with a bang. Pale hands reached out from inside, expanding this shattered space into a spatial archway.

An elderly man with short hair wearing a red robe walked quickly into the Divine Domain. This is exactly one of the three most powerful people in the Saint Lan Kingdom.

The current situation in the Saint Lan Kingdom is that Black Rose is the most powerful, followed by Duke Gula, the representative of the royal family, and the High Priest of the Dawn God Sect who arrived in a hurry just now.

In terms of status, Duke Gula and the High Priest are not Black Rose's subordinates. The three parties are colluding, but Duke Gula and the High Priest are not as powerful as Black Rose. To say that the three parties are intimate is hard to convince people, but these three are indeed a community of interests.

The hundred or so people who came, except for the High Priest at the head, the five priests of the Dawn God Sect, as well as various divine envoys, missionaries, etc., can be said to have come out in full force. The reason for this is that just now, they were terrified to discover one thing: their source of faith was cut off.

If it were only one or two people, it could be explained as faith not being firm enough and being abandoned by the deity. The problem is that all believers of the Dawn God Sect, including the five priests and the High Priest, have cut off the transmission of faith power with the deity. This can only mean that something went wrong with the deity.

Before this, the high-level officials of the Dawn God Sect had not considered this aspect. They were invited by Black Rose to discuss how to deal with the Law-Extinguisher who came for revenge. In this discussion, two priests even suggested inviting the God of Radiance they believed in to descend divine punishment on the Law-Extinguisher.

Now, descending divine punishment is impossible. The God of Radiance has already been pre-emptively killed by the Law-Extinguisher.

Among the believers who rushed to the Divine Domain, the High Priest at the head had just arrived, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. No one sensed it more clearly than him: the deity of their Dawn God Sect had fallen.

"My God, where are you?"

A divine envoy spoke with a trembling voice. A little nun beside her hurriedly supported her, allowing this divine envoy who was almost scared to death to stand firm.

After the believers arrived at the Divine Domain, they all confirmed that the God of Radiance had fallen. Some of them had gloomy faces, some had meaningful gazes, and some knelt on the ground and wailed.

After the initial emotional shock, the group of people led by the High Priest focused their eyes on Su Xiao. The High Priest narrowed his eyes. In his dark golden pupils, there was a sense of prestige second only to the God of Radiance. There is no doubt that this is an old guy who hid his strength. His strength is at least close to the Great General of the North.

"Revenge for my God!!"

A middle-aged divine envoy shouted hoarsely, so excited that dense bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and the veins and blood vessels on his neck bulged.

"Kill him!"

Another believer also roared. Just as the believers were about to rush up to surround and kill Su Xiao, the High Priest at the head coldly scolded: "Shut up, stand down!"

Hearing the High Priest's scolding, the middle and high-level officials of the Dawn God Sect first subconsciously shut up and retreated, and then looked at the High Priest in surprise. They shut up and retreated because of the prestige accumulated by the High Priest in the past, and the doubt in their eyes was questioning whether the High Priest's faith in the deity was pious.

"My God has not fallen, but was designed by this thief to be teleported to the outer world. This thief fears my God's majesty, so he used this trick. I can still sense my God, although this sensing is very weak."

Hearing the High Priest's words, the middle and high-level members of the Dawn God Sect quickly stabilized their aura. One of the girls with vertical pupils and a single ponytail said: "That's right, I also sensed it. My God is just very far away from us."

"It's like this, I also sensed it."

"But... why don't I have any feeling at all, and the transmission of faith power is also..."

"It's because you are not pious enough. Shut up, stand down!"

The girl with vertical pupils shouted loudly. Her deterrent sense made a divine envoy subconsciously retreat half a step.

After the High Priest looked up and down at the girl with vertical pupils, he had already made up his mind. If there is a chance in the future, he will promote this subordinate to the position of priest.

"Lord Priest, what should we do?"

The girl with vertical pupils asked in a low voice. Hearing this, the High Priest said: "I am enough here, you take people back first."

After saying that, the High Priest handed a string of bone pendants to the girl with vertical pupils. This is an object passed down by the Dawn God Sect for many years. When the High Priest is not present, this object can be used as the High Priest's deputy, with the same level as the five white-robed priests.

The members of the Dawn God Sect left the Divine Domain, either angry or confused. When only the High Priest was left, he sat on the crystal chair opposite Su Xiao, his expression calm and peaceful.

"As the High Priest of the Dawn God Sect, you can still sense the God of Radiance?"

Baja, who landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, spoke.

"I can't sense it. This evil god has finally fallen, much earlier than I prepared."

The High Priest's words were shocking. Judging from his tone, he became the High Priest in the Dawn God Sect with a status only below the deity, just to eliminate this deity.

"Suffering will make people need the protection of deities. From another perspective, suffering can breed richer faith energy."

When the High Priest said this, his face was somewhat gloomy. He continued: "The royal family is high above, the new king is less than ten years old, the ministers are power-hungry, and there is Black Rose hidden in the darkness. What's more terrible is that this kingdom also has an evil god. If this continues, the Saint Lan Kingdom will surely perish, and everyone on this ship will die without a burial place."

After saying this, the High Priest sighed, as if he was somewhat heartbroken.

"So, even if we don't get rid of this evil god, you would find a way to do it later?"

Baja spoke with a smile. It had seen people who turned their faces faster than turning a book, but it had never seen a lineup switch so smoothly.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I became this High Priest."

"Ah this, you, I..."

Baja re-examined the High Priest. It thought it was shameless enough, but after meeting the High Priest today, Baja felt that its bit of shamelessness could only count as a fart.

"That is to say, you are willing to help us deal with Black Rose?"

Hearing Baja's words, the High Priest shook his head with a smile and said: "I will disappear as quickly as possible. The God of Radiance has fallen, and the Dawn God Sect will decline in a short time. The enemies I have accumulated over the years will all come to the door."

This is the reason why the High Priest did not take action just now, and let the other members of the Dawn God Sect retreat. After the God of Radiance fell, the disintegration of the Dawn God Sect was inevitable. Under such a premise, there was really no need to make an enemy of Su Xiao, who was a Law-Extinguisher. In the eyes of the High Priest who was about to be hunted by many enemies, one less enemy was one less.

"If there is nothing else, I will go first. From now on, we will not see each other again..."

Before the High Priest finished speaking, Su Xiao had already taken out the "Radiance God Soul" from the God-Hunter title. Before entering this world, he did not know what a "God Soul" was, but when cooperating with the Goddess of Luck, he saw the other party's "Luck God Soul" and learned the wonder of the "God Soul."

In short, living beings qualified to absorb the "God Soul" into themselves will transform into divine creatures. For example, after absorbing the "Radiance God Soul," that is the newly promoted God of Radiance, but the strength is very weak, initially only Fourth to Fifth Tier combat power, needing to grow for a long time, plus having enough qualifications and opportunities, it is possible to reach the level of the previous God of Radiance.

After listening to Baja's narrative, the High Priest shook his head with a smile: "It sounds very exciting, and this so-called 'God Soul' does indeed have the fluctuation of radiance, but how to prove that everything you said is true? I need enough credible evidence before I will bet everything."

"That's no problem. Luck, Goddess of Luck? Hey, don't eat snacks and watch the show on the side. High Priest, I will introduce you grandly. This is the powerful deity in charge of luck, the Goddess of Luck!"

Baja spread its right wing. The High Priest followed its line of sight and saw the Goddess of Luck with a big mouthful of pudding in her mouth and bulging cheeks.

"?"

The High Priest was confused. He looked at Baja with a suspicious look, as if asking: 'This is a deity?'

"Cough~, a deity that is absolutely true. She is, she is... you stop eating first! I am blowing you here, at least you should do something for me."

Baja rubbed its face with its wings, so angry that its fur was about to explode.

The Goddess of Luck pointed her cream-stained index finger at the High Priest. The next second, the High Priest's hair stood on end. He looked at the World Thunder in the sky. He had a feeling that this World Thunder seemed to be about to strike down in the next second.

Crack~

A World Thunder as thick as an arm struck down, which shocked the High Priest. But in the next second, this World Thunder struck Su Xiao. What surprised the High Priest even more was that Su Xiao, who was struck, did not have any reaction to being attacked, as if being struck was painless.

This is mainly due to the Thunder-Driving Method developed by Kingsley. Other people's Thunder-Driving Method is to first condense the source of thunder or something similar. Kingsley took a different path. In Kingsley's view, as long as he can withstand the lightning strike and can attract lightning, that is thunder-driving.

Witnessing the Goddess of Luck's control over luck, the High Priest had already confirmed that this person was indeed a deity. Facts have proved that with real ability, even if one behaves casually, one will be respected, just like the current Goddess of Luck.

The High Priest pondered for a moment and made a decision. Compared to letting the Dawn God Sect disintegrate and then being hunted by those old enemies, obtaining the "Radiance God Soul" from Su Xiao and then selecting someone qualified to carry this God Soul, so that a new God of Radiance appears, there is a turning point. Even if the new God of Radiance is far less powerful than the previous deity, it can at least avoid the disintegration of the Dawn God Sect. Moreover, the new God of Radiance is highly unlikely to be an evil god again.

After thinking about these, the High Priest suddenly understood why the Law-Extinguisher came to kill Black Rose but chose to kill the god first. In this way, not only was their strongest combat power solved, but internal differences also appeared in the Saint Lan Kingdom.

Originally, the three masters of the Saint Lan Kingdom, Black Rose, Duke Gula, and the High Priest, now only the former two remain.

Not only that, even if a new generation of the God of Radiance appears, for a long time, the highest manager of the Dawn God Sect will still be the High Priest.

This also caused the original lineup of the royal family + Black Rose + Dawn God Sect besieging Su Xiao to become royal family + Black Rose VS Su Xiao's team + High Priest.

What's even more wonderful is that at the current stage, even if the royal family and Black Rose rack their brains, they can't think that the High Priest will stab them in the back. This means that the High Priest has an excellent opportunity to backstab.

After the High Priest thought about all this with a frown, he began to hesitate somewhat. That is, if he helps Su Xiao deal with the royal family and Black Rose, will he be arranged by the other party by the way.

"It's not just the two of us joining forces."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the High Priest was only briefly confused, then thought of something, and said:

"Hmm, there is also the little king. Although he is young, he is also the king. In this way, it is three against two, our three parties against their two parties."

The High Priest was even more tempted. Compared to hiding and escaping now and then being hunted by many enemies, he was of course more willing to fight to see if he could stabilize the situation. More importantly, if he succeeded, although the decline of theocracy became inevitable, he would definitely be an indispensable figure on the little king's side.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you, but before dealing with Black Rose, you have to give me a few days to let me choose someone qualified to inherit this God Soul."

"……"

Su Xiao did not speak, just threw the golden-white God Soul in his hand to the High Priest, which made the High Priest feel somewhat surprised. Then the contract parchment that appeared in front of him made him understand what was going on.

"A contract?"

The High Priest picked up the contract parchment, took out a small mirror to check the patterns, and tried to see if he could peel off multiple layers, and finally checked whether there were traces on the back, etc., to ensure that everything was fine, and signed this contract.

It can be seen that the High Priest also did something to the contract, but the contract he signed now is a double contract. The so-called double contract is to first exchange for a contract parchment, then apply resonant notarization to it, and then divide this contract into two layers, and draft a copy of the content on each of the two layers.

After this, this contract divided into two layers, one layer is located in the main space, and one layer is located in the different space. Although the contents of the two layers of the contract are different, they are of the same origin. After signing the "surface contract," the "inner contract" located in the different space will also be signed together.

The characteristic of this contract is that as long as it is not a spatial system, it is impossible to discover the "inner contract" hidden by Baja in the different space through spatial ability. And the "surface contract" that the signer can see has no problems at all, and the other party can check it at will.

"Bai Ye, tell me your plan."

"……"

Su Xiao did not speak. He raised his hand. The next second, a wooden mask appeared in his hand. Baja not far away drew a teleportation array and activated it.

After a muffled sound, a figure appeared. After this figure stumbled a few steps, he stabilized his figure. It was the Platinum Bishop.

"For this matter, you have to pay me at least five bottles of Sun Potion."

The Platinum Bishop had a look of stomach discomfort. Originally, he was in the VIP carriage of the train, but he was suddenly teleported over. The experience can be imagined.

"……"

Su Xiao took out a dozen, that is, twelve bottles of Sun Potion, which made the Platinum Bishop step forward, pick up the Ancient Mask, and put it directly on his face. Scarlet tentacles spread. A few seconds later, the Platinum Bishop turned into Su Xiao's appearance.

Su Xiao took out the "Blazing Light Spear" dropped by killing the God of Radiance, pierced through the center of the Platinum Bishop's chest from his back with one spear. After the Platinum Bishop brewed for a moment, he drew out the remaining divine power in the "Blazing Light Spear," formed golden-white chains, and bound himself. The final appearance became: 'Su Xiao' was defeated by the God of Radiance and was pierced through the chest by the "Blazing Light Spear," sealing his power.

Seeing this scene, the High Priest already knew the follow-up plan, but he pretended to be confused and asked: "Are we going to see Black Rose like this?"

"No, you are going to see the representative of the royal family, Duke Gula, and also, don't play dumb next time, it's unnecessary."

After Su Xiao said this, he looked at the High Priest. The High Priest, whose face already had initial wrinkles, smiled.

In the evening of that day, in the rear area of the Royal Capital, inside a manor with a huge area.

The sunset was half hidden on the horizon. The manor was mostly woods and flower fields. In the living room of a mansion surrounded by this natural scenery.

The soothing music made people feel comfortable. Duke Gula, wearing velvet pajamas, leaned on the sofa, holding a glass of fine wine brewed by his own winery. Although the Saint Lan Kingdom no longer had a nobility system, because of his hereditary Duke status, outsiders mostly called this royal family member Duke.

Duke Gula touched his chin, then looked at the High Priest opposite, and asked casually: "I heard that the deity of your Dawn God Sect had an accident?"

"Just a rumor. If our Supreme Radiance had an accident, would I not hurry to escape, and still have the heart to enjoy dinner here with you?"

The High Priest spoke. Hearing this, Duke Gula opposite smiled noncommittally.

"However," the High Priest changed the subject, put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "That Law-Extinguisher did find our Supreme Radiance, but he was too overestimating himself."

"You mean, that Law-Extinguisher has already been defeated by you?"

Duke Gula became interested, raised his hand to signal the servants and two guards in the room to retreat. The following conversation could not be heard by others. He always felt that there were eyes and ears planted by Black Rose around him.

"Gula, between the two of us, neither one alone can bargain with Black Rose, but if we two together, use this Law-Extinguisher to talk to her, guess what benefits she is willing to give up?"

The High Priest pointed outside the door, which made Duke Gula stunned for a moment, and then thought that the High Priest had already brought people. He immediately ordered people to let in the High Priest's two subordinates and the person being escorted.

A moment later, a large metal cage was carried in. Duke Gula tore off the thick cloth covering it. 'Su Xiao', whose chest was pierced by the front half of the "Blazing Light Spear" and whose whole body was sealed with energy chains, came into Duke Gula's sight.

"You really have a way. If we use this guy to talk to Black Rose, she..."

Pfft!

A hand knife pierced into Duke Gula's back heart and pierced out from his chest. His eyes widened, full of disbelief. If it were someone else, there would definitely be no chance to stand behind him without guards, but it was different from the High Priest who had the same status as him, especially on the premise that both sides still had to secretly discuss huge interests.

Duke Gula's pupils trembled. He couldn't figure out until he died what the High Priest was going to do. Before his vision fell into darkness, scarlet tentacles spread toward him one by one.

A few seconds later, the Platinum Bishop, disguised as 'Duke Gula', pulled the front half of the "Blazing Light Spear" out of his chest, gave the High Priest a wink, and after the other party handled the bloodstains and the corpse, the Platinum Bishop took the initiative to walk out of the room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the guards rushing over.

"Presumptuous!"

The Platinum Bishop shouted loudly in the image of 'Duke Gula'. The guards hurriedly knelt on one knee. After 'Duke Gula' waved his hand, they all retreated.

At the same time, in the bedroom of the Wang Gong, the little king was staring at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and not far from him was the queen in a deep sleep.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang activated the projection, and Su Xiao's virtual projection appeared. The little king looked at the queen in a deep sleep, then looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and finally turned his eyes to Su Xiao. After staring at Su Xiao for a few seconds, the little king made a gesture to call someone.

"A little king not yet ten years old, but his soul is as strong as if he were decades old, strange."

Su Xiao's words made the little king, who was about to shout, stop. He stared at Su Xiao.

Black Rose had eliminated many kings. These kings of the Saint Lan Kingdom naturally would not sit and wait for death. To be precise, the soul of this little king was actually inherited from his father. The father and son used this bad strategy to save the fate of the royal family.

Black Rose naturally knew this, but there were too many troubles in killing this puppet king, and the God of Radiance would not allow such things to happen. The power of the blood oath, even a deity, would not want to try.

"Who are you."

The little king spoke calmly.

"Law-Extinguisher."

"Are you Black Rose's enemy?"

"Deadly enemy."

"Then we are friends."

"Hmm."

After Su Xiao said this, his projection flickered and disappeared. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in the bedroom blended into the environment.

……

Within the Divine Domain, Su Xiao took off the projection bracelet. He used killing the God of Radiance as the starting point and completed the planned plan. This plan seemed incredible, but it was actually just going around to the back.

When Black Rose was guarding the front, Su Xiao was already behind her camp, destroying the God of Radiance. The God of Radiance fell, and the High Priest's position was extremely awkward, so he could only risk choosing to cooperate with Su Xiao. And this cooperation led to the powerful Duke Gula being backstabbed by the High Priest, and then the Platinum Bishop wearing the Ancient Mask disguised himself as Duke Gula.

In this way, the High Priest, Duke Gula, and the little king all stood behind Su Xiao.

Su Xiao prepared to go to the Wang Gong tomorrow morning to participate in the Kingdom Council convened by Black Rose. After all, among the four people around the council table, the three people, the High Priest, 'Duke Gula', and the little king, were all Su Xiao's people. If Su Xiao did not show up, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
