Chapter 1147: Shocking Secret News (First update, requesting everything)

Xisi had already regained consciousness from his coma. Originally, he had pinned his hopes on Livingston killing or driving away Li Zhangsheng, but who would have thought the other party would finish off Livingston in a few moves, leaving his heart filled with despair.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng flying toward him, Xisi wanted to run, but due to his severe injuries, he found it difficult even to stand, let alone hope to escape.

"Great King, spare my life!"

Under these circumstances, Xisi cast aside his pride and chose to beg for mercy.

"This seat has a few questions for you!"

"This small one will certainly tell you everything I know, without holding anything back!"

Xisi used the same phrasing as Livingston.

Then, just as before, after finishing his interrogation of Xisi, Li Zhangsheng killed him and took the opportunity to use the Original Light to absorb and cross-reference Xisi's memory fragments, especially those concerning the Eric Robertson Ruins.

This time, Li Zhangsheng could be considered to have gained a bountiful harvest, not only obtaining news about the Blood Phoenix Black Gold but also two tokens for a Demigod ruin, four Legendary Items, one Semi-Artifact, as well as one Space Ring and five Dimensional Bags.

Oh right, there was also a treasure from the Roaring Stone Forest.

Besides that, there was the vast Laina City-State.

Compared to the Yasi City-State, the Laina City-State covered a wider area, and its population was twice that of the Yasi City-State. The only pity was that, judging from Xisi's memory fragments, the Laina City-State had no Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade resource points.

Even so, this was still a major gain. Li Zhangsheng immediately notified Ge Liedi, taking advantage of the Laina City-State being leaderless, and had him lead a large army to expand the territory of the Yasi City-State.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately check his spoils; instead, he stood in the void, striving to digest and organize the complex memory fragments of Livingston and Xisi.

These memory fragments were only a small portion of their total memories, roughly about thirty percent, but relative to their age, they were still quite complex.

Apart from some useless memories, the remaining ones included cultivation arts, Secret Techniques, skills, combat experience, and quite a few secrets regarding the Underdark, and even some records about the Surface World.

These records about the Surface World came from Livingston; the old fellow had traveled in the Surface World for several years in his earlier years through a passage mastered by his ancestral black dragon.

This greatly enriched Li Zhangsheng's understanding of this world and would be of great help for his future exploration of it.

"Huh!"

When Li Zhangsheng perused one of the memory fragments, his whole person froze.

This memory fragment came from Xisi, and its content was a vast and majestic temple with a statue standing upon it.

The key lay in this statue—or to be precise, the appearance of the statue—which left Li Zhangsheng greatly shocked.

Li Zhangsheng had seen this face before; no, it should be said he had only seen it in books and in the memories of the Hundred Victories Emperor, and in a certain sense, Li Zhangsheng was still his subordinate.

The Human Emperor!

The appearance of this statue was exactly the same as the Human Emperor, even the red dot mark on the forehead was identical; this was simply too coincidental.

"Could it be..."

Li Zhangsheng thought of a possibility, and he immediately rode Aixi and flew toward Rhine City.

Rhine City was a border city in the east of the Laina City-State, which could be called the trade capital of the Laina City-State.

Rhine City was very prosperous; besides Drow Elves, there were a large number of other races here, and one could even occasionally see humans from the Surface World.

In just a moment's time, Aixi appeared above Rhine City.

Li Zhangsheng retracted Aixi and used Instant Movement, appearing instantly in a corner of Rhine City, looking at a towering and spectacular temple not far away.

As the trade capital of the Laina City-State, Rhine City had complex faiths, with over a dozen temples standing there, and this temple was one of them.

From Xisi's memory fragments, this temple was the temple of the God of Dark Night.

Li Zhangsheng hesitated slightly, tried his best to restrain his aura, and slowly walked into the temple.

This was also his first time entering a temple. The Yasi City-State also had many temples, but to avoid attracting the attention of deities, he had never entered them, never demolished them, and even less had he stopped those Priests from spreading their faith.

As soon as he entered the temple grounds, Li Zhangsheng's mind felt as if it had been soothed; almost all temples carried this kind of power, and those without it could only be Pseudo-deities.

Soon, a female Drow Elf priest wearing a dark night priest robe took the initiative to receive Li Zhangsheng. In her hand, she held a thick book; presumably, this book recorded the origin, great power, and temple doctrines of this God of Dark Night.

Li Zhangsheng ignored the priest and looked straight at the statue standing not far away.

It looked so much like him, truly too much like him; it was exactly the same.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng ask the priest beside him: "Respected Priest, I am a human from the Surface World. I wish to become a believer of your god, but I do not know much about your god. Could you enlighten me a little?"

"It is my honor, please come this way!"

Upon hearing that Li Zhangsheng wanted to believe in the God of Dark Night, the female priest's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly invited Li Zhangsheng into a room to begin explaining information about the God of Dark Night and the duties after joining the faith.

Li Zhangsheng listened with great interest, and after spending more than half an hour, he finally understood the general information about the God of Dark Night.

The God of Dark Night was named Sehe Huonasansi Maikegewude, who became a True God over seven hundred years ago. He was a weak Divine Power, of the Evil Orderly Faction, and his divine offices were darkness, slaughter, conspiracy, fraud, and trickery, with no racial divine office.

What surprised Li Zhangsheng was that the God of Dark Night had over a thousand temples, most of which were in the Surface World of the Dawn Plane, making him one of the major faith deities of the Surface World.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng also learned from the priest that the God of Dark Night possessed a Divine Artifact called the Order Balance.

Hearing "Order Balance," Li Zhangsheng was completely certain of his guess, because the Dao-Achieving Item of the Human Emperor was named the Order Balance, a genuine Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

"Could it be that a Monster Tamer can actually become a deity?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, but he quickly denied this possibility.

Monster Tamer was a profession unique to the Fairy World, and for some unknown reason, it was fundamentally incompatible with deities.

Over these many years, it was not that no Stronger had wanted to become a deity, who were said to possess endless lifespans, but all had ended in failure, including those Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers.

Among them, the most miserable was the ancient Underworld Emperor. After a large number of experiments, he finally condensed Divine Fire, but just as he successfully condensed the Divine Fire, the Divine Fire and the Monster Taming Art were not only completely incompatible, but they also clashed violently, ultimately ending in self-detonation.

The ancient Underworld Emperor might have been the Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer who died the most stifling death in the history of the Fairy World; of course, his spirit of exploration was still very admirable.

However, before the ancient Underworld Emperor detonated himself, he still left behind one sentence: Faith is poisonous!

It was precisely this earth-shattering self-detonation that sounded an alarm for those who came later, causing many Stronger to have to give up their plans to become deities.
