Chapter 528
Seeing the burning skeleton, Haarlem's group immediately tensed up. But they didn't expect the skeleton to have no intentions of fighting, instead, he stabbed the chipped sword into the ground in front of Ramy, picked up Salajia and jumped into the sea of flames.
Illusory hands stretched out from the bones, blocking the flames and allowing the bones to bring Salagia to the back of the pile of bones.
"Why? You'll wake up? Why? " Salajia couldn't understand. It was her mistake that led to the deaths of her tribesmen, so why did these people want to save her?
"Because we've never hated you." The voice from the skeleton slowly spoke: 「 Compared to you, we are the true sinners of the Cauchy people. It was I who led our people to attack the Royas supply station, it was also I who ordered the underground palace to be dug up and had our tribesmen commit suicide here 」
「 We all acknowledge you as a hero, even if you couldn't save us 」 the skeleton spoke with a serious tone, 「 But that doesn't negate the fact that your actions were heroic 」
「 And so, for the sake of the Cauchy people's survival, to reawaken the Cauchy people's national will in this era! 」 The skeleton had even forgotten his own identity, but he still remembered his identity as a Cauchy person, as well as Salajia's identity as a hero.
He was awakened by the King of Evil Spirits, but he couldn't remember his true name. In the end, he could only fall back into slumber inside his own skeleton. Originally, he wouldn't be able to wake up for the rest of his life, but for some reason, he was strangely able to move at the moment of the flames.
As if he had been blessed, the skeleton saved Salagia, and the state of being engulfed in flames gave him some mobility.
Under the tree, Negri was sitting upright, Lanshan was lying on her side next to Negri, Noah was leaning against the tree, the green runes on his hand glowing, using the World Tree as a bridge to connect the two worlds. After Killer J resurrected, he immediately used The Unreachable Gate to leave and went somewhere else to play. Crow Feather summoned his tribesmen to live on top of the tree, just like a thousand years ago.
"This way, Salajia would have the motivation to continue living, to improve her abilities" Negri said happily, then chuckled: "Back then, the Cauchy people were my subordinates, they contributed the most, it's quite a pity for them to be wiped out like this"
"Lord Negri, you're still thinking about old times." Lanshan felt that this was the happiest time of her life. Being with Lord Negri by her side, she was in a good mood, and the progress of her main body's experiments had sped up a lot.
It was impossible to tell that Negri was currently waging war against the Sovereign World. It was as though someone else was waging war against a powerful opponent.
"The Eternal Light has received information about me touching the sun." Negri's eyes suddenly lit up as he sensed something. Back then, this opponent had left a deep impression on him.
He had to abandon the SCR World in order to barely escape.
One of the reasons Negri sought the position of the Path of the Sun was to draw Eternal Light into the game.
That person's main Path was a combination of the Path of the Sun and the Path of Life, a single entity that occupied two Paths, unlike Negri who used the Path of Domination to rule over other Paths. Furthermore, when Eternal Light first formed, it devoured three Path entities: Dark Death, Eulogy of the Deep Sea, and Barren Shadow, so most of their Paths were obtained by Eternal Light.
Eternal Light didn't have any Paths of Domination or Devour, so these three Paths were the most likely to form Divine Artifacts. Combined with the Golden Arrow that was originally under Eternal Light's control, Eternal Light had at least four Divine Artifacts.
The involvement of this individual would make the entire situation even more complicated.
"Is Bastinfaiz still waiting?" All sorts of information flowed through Negri's eyes. This person who existed in the Flame world as a mortal was only using the unique properties of the Flame world to conduct experiments on his Path. However, he had already reached the edge of entering the game. His experiments were only to further his Path, but now, a better opportunity had appeared in front of him.
The Usurper Lord, Bastinfaiz's true identity. Through his arrangements in the new Kingdom of Royas, Negri had managed to peek into his true identity.
The Lord God's world had invaded the Flame world in an attempt to become a greater world, so this was the time when it was the most powerful, but also the most vulnerable. If the Usurper Lord could seize this opportunity, he might be able to usurp the Lord God's world's authority, and the Usurper Lord might not be able to resist such temptation.
Negri controlled the World Tree and purposely sent a few Transmigrators to appear in front of Bastinfaiz. With his methods, he had probably obtained the information he wanted.
"Perhaps he has already made his move" Negri didn't dare to look down on any Path of Achievement, especially an entity who had walked on the Path of Usurper. There was no telling when you would find that your things were no longer under your control.
"I really need to plan properly" Negri fell into thought.
After that, as the pile of bones burned, the fog slowly faded. Haarlem's group of three explored the ruins and found the Grandmaster whose vitality had completely dissipated. Ulysses and the rest of the Evil Spirits were nowhere to be found.
After burying the Grandmaster, they once again returned to the ruins to explore the remaining information they obtained. But just like before, they only recorded the history of the Undead Cauchy people, which was their life under the rule of the King of Evil Spirits. They didn't know much about Negri. Instead, the remaining kerosene allowed them to make quite a bit of money.
After they left the ruins and organized their loot, the first steam engine model was already being promoted on the continent, kerosene became a strategic resource.
Although kerosene used to be a military resource, it was mainly used to defend cities. But now, kerosene was even more expensive than gold, the same was true for coal, giving it the name of 'black gold'.
By the time they arrived at the Evil Spirit Crusade, the situation on the continent had completely changed. An unprecedented change was taking place on the continent, the conflict between the conservative forces and the revolutionary forces had become even more intense. The existence of Transmigrators was no longer a secret to the top-level organizations of the continent, the conservative forces viewed the Transmigrators as invaders, demons that blasphemed the dead and would kill them the moment they found them, while the revolutionary forces liked to use these Transmigrators and the knowledge they brought from another world.
Other than that, there were also neutral forces such as the Evil Spirit Crusade. Although they no longer accepted Transmigrators, they didn't exclude the items they brought with them and did their best to clear the fog.
But as the changes occurred, the Evil Spirit Crusade was no longer the main force. The Transmigrator Alliance was established, thanks to the various unique items and knowledge they brought, they managed to rope in a large number of wealthy merchants, growing larger and larger by the day, eventually becoming a force to be reckoned with on the continent.
The Transmigrator Alliance viewed the eradication of Evil Spirits as their own responsibility. According to what some Transmigrators revealed, killing an Evil Spirit would grant them a Starlight Blessing, some of the originally powerless Transmigrators were able to become top-level Grandmasters of Combat in just a few short months.
Because of that, the Evil Spirits were no longer a big problem in the eyes of the people, the most important thing was how to deal with the Transmigrators.
