Chapter 561 Chapter 561 – The Lord of Darkness

“The God born at the beginning of the world, the supreme Lord of Darkness. Please show your glory and shine on the earth again, bringing infinite darkness to the world…” A soft murmur continued to sound in a remote mountain village, shrouding this area.

Waves of sound continued to spread, and vaguely, there seemed to be a unique aura emerging and a bloody smell shrouding the area. If one focused their gaze on the area before them, they would be able to discover the scene known as the purgatory on earth.

In the not-so-spacious space, there was dripping blood and broken limbs everywhere. The broken organs of the human body were everywhere, looking extremely frightening. The smell of blood in this room was exceptionally dense due to good sealing, which could suffocate a person to death. However, the few people inside did not feel anything. Instead, their faces were filled with fanaticism and intoxication.

“Please revive, the great Lord of Darkness, the terminator of all things…” Before a tall statue, an old man with burning eyes spoke softly and recited the eulogy with a grim expression.

Drops of crimson blood gathered around him, and there seemed to be all sorts of resentment emerging from within. The blood was formed from the resentment of the deceased, and the surrounding air became much colder when it was taken out, looking terrifying. The old man had killed countless people to collect so much resentment and blood from the deceased. As the blood flowed, the God statue before him also changed. There was an inexplicable pattern emerging from it. Even the God statue seemed to have come to life and had a vigorous vitality.

Mysterious runes appeared and shrouded the entire God statue. A vast, mighty, and majestic aura emerged, spreading out and sweeping in all directions. This aura was so powerful and terrifying that it was almost superior to any ordinary object. An existence below the Seventh Ring would collapse when it sensed this aura as it was simply unable to withstand the terror brought about by this aura.

In the house, the fanaticism on several cultists’ faces became more evident as they felt the resurrection of the God statue. Their voices became louder and louder as they screamed. They were fanatical, joyous, and rejoiced in the resurrection of the God they believed in.

“I feel it…” The old man smiled, standing before the status of God, and he seemed to feel something, “Faith connection is even closer now…”

“My Lord, please resurrect!” A series of sounds were heard from the surroundings as soon as he spoke. A suffocating aura spread out from the statue in all directions, suppressing everything. A few explosive sounds came from the room in just an instant. Behind the old man, the fanatical expressions on the other’s faces froze. Their bodies couldn’t withstand the powerful aura and directly exploded before them.

Then, a hazy aura emerged and came into contact with this world. A series of soft murmurs sounded continuously. The old man’s face revealed a smile while looking at the God statue before him, and he seemed very happy.

“Almighty Lord…” He opened his arms, knelt to the God statue, and shouted, “After a long silence, please return once again!”

Bang…

The statue before him was vibrating. Sizzling sounds resounded in all directions. As the old man raised his head again, he found that the statue before him was starting to show a notable change. Layers of cracks appeared on the statue, like a broken ceramic, revealing a strange sense of brokenness.

Then, a terrifying power emerged. A powerful aura of divine power instantly spread out in all directions, shrouding the entire area. A faint mist rose and appeared in all directions. Then, under the old man’s gaze, the mist continuously rose and headed before him.

A child was sleeping there. The boy was around six or seven years old, and he looked somewhat immature. He was lying there and seemed to be sleeping at this moment.

If one took a closer look, they would discover some differences. There were strange graffiti and mysterious and unique runes carved all over the boy’s body, making him highly mysterious.

At this moment, the black mist in the surroundings gathered and slowly fused into the boy’s body. His body became active, and a strange aura appeared soon after. The boy’s eyes slowly opened. A powerful divine aura emitted in all directions. A mighty aura flashed by and emerged as if the space was stagnated at this moment. The mightly majesty brought about by the divine awakening was terrifying. The sense of oppression was even more terrifying than the previous God statue.

When the transformation was entirely over, a hint of confusion flashed across the boy’s eyes, and then he came to a realization, “Orith…” An indifferent and hoarse voice sounded.

This voice was hoarse and did not sound like a boy’s voice. Instead, it was filled with a mighty majesty, like a God of the Nine Heavens. However, to a certain extent, this was indeed a God.

“My Lord…” Hearing the boy’s cry, the old man immediately stood up and looked respectfully at the boy, and his face was filled with reverence. The situation before him was already different. The boy was no longer the mortal from before but instead had become the lord he worshiped. According to legends, he was the Lord of Darkness who ruled over all destruction and darkness.

He was a true God, an existence above all mortal things, and the Lord the old man worshiped.

“What era is it now?” The faint, hoarse voice of the Lord of Darkness sounded again.

“It has been three thousand years since you last woke up…” The old man no longer had any doubts when he looked at the Lord of Darkness and listened to his hoarse and dignified voice. He said directly, “We will let you wake up at this time, according to your previous instructions…”

“That’s right.” The Lord of Darkness nodded but frowned after a while, “However, what’s with this body? Why is it so weak?”

He looked at the old man before him and frowned, feeling dissatisfied. “Although it has a certain divine bloodline, it hasn’t reached the level of divine blood awakening, nor is it a powerful hero, but an ordinary mortal child. You’ve prepared for thousands of years, and you couldn’t find a more suitable body?” The indifferent voice sounded with some dissatisfaction.

It seemed that the Lord of Darkness, who had recovered, was very dissatisfied with his current body. It was no wonder. In the eyes of a God, this body was highly unqualified. Very few Gods could keep their original bodies in the previous catastrophes.

Most of the God’s bodies had collapsed and had to be abandoned. Therefore, even if they were resurrected, they had to look for the bodies of others to start over again. This body that carried them was very crucial. A good body could not only allow them to exert more power but could even bring them some new abilities. While a lousy body not only has a lot of constraints, it could not even allow them to exert much power.

And this body before him was was the kind of extremely poor quality in the eyes of the Lord of Darkness.

“I’m sorry, my Lord…” Orith’s face was full of bitterness, and he could only lower his head, “This is the best we can find…”

“Oh?” Hearing Orith’s words, the Lord of Darkness was stunned, “Could it be that the church I left behind has already weakened to this extent? I remember that my church still existed and was very powerful two thousand years ago. Could it be that my church has already been destroyed after only two thousand years?” He was somewhat in disbelief. Only now did he notice some details. The surroundings were not his church, nor was it a luxurious place, but just a tiny dilapidated room. Not many of his believers were around, only a few people. All of this seemed to indicate something. The church that once belonged to him, which was once strong, seemed to have weakened.

“My Lord…” Hearing the Lord of Darkness’ words, Orith’s face was full of bitterness, did not know what to say.

Indeed, two thousand years was a short time for a God. Perhaps it was just a night of sleep, and it was already time. However, two thousand years was a long time for mortals. Two thousand years was enough to turn the most powerful warrior into a pile of bones so that the great was no longer significant, and all that had existed before were gone, leaving no trace behind.

Time was always the most powerful force. No one could be immortal forever except for the mighty God himself, and the day of destruction would eventually come. The once prosperous church of the Lord of Darkness had long disappeared under the passage of time and was completely missing. ‘As for the body in front of him…’ Orith was bitter, and he did not know what to say.

Their loyalty to the Lord of Darkness did not need to be questioned to a certain extent. However, the body before them was already the best they could find. Not to mention the heroes who had awakened their divinity, even the epic-level ones, were already extinct, not many of them left in this era.

These powerhouses were not that easy to kill, let alone be so cunning. They hid in unknown places or indirectly maintained good relations with the various churches. It was not that easy to find, and even if they found it, they would not be able to seize its body with the current strength of the Dark Church. They might even be killed by it.

As for God’s descendants, who had awakened God’s blood, it was not that easy to find either. Every one of them was a treasure in the current era. They were taken by the various churches and rarely wandered outside whenever they were found, not to mention being seen by them.

With not too low divine blood concentration, the boy’s body was the result of their best efforts.

“It seems that you guys have been weakened beyond recognition during the two thousand years I have been in silence.” Looking at Orith’s appearance, the Lord of Darkness shook his head and looked around speechlessly, “You even used a method like a blood sacrifice to resurrect me…”

He was speechless, looking at the mess in the room. There were pieces of flesh and blood everywhere, looking like a cult sacrifice. He was not an evil God, even though his name was the Lord of Darkness, and his God was related to darkness. A blood sacrifice would not have been used if the Lord of Darkness was at his peak and the Dark Church still existed. Yet, it had become like this now.

“I’m sorry…” Orith lowered his head and showed an embarrassed expression.

After more than two thousand years, the Dark Church had already declined. There were only a few followers left. After more than two thousand years of decline and suppression, the Dark Church’s bottom line naturally became lower to survive. They even picked up and started learning some previously known as low-class methods.

Of course, this was also a necessity for survival. After all, if this weren’t the case, the Dark Church would probably have disappeared even faster. Even the Lord of Darkness might not be able to wake up.

“It’s fine.” The Lord of Darkness’s little boy-like face revealed a slight smile, then he said, “It doesn’t matter if you’ve used some of the critical methods at the critical moment. No matter what, at least I can wake up and return. It’s still better than other existences…”

The Lord of Darkness looked at the sky. The stars’ radiance had already dimmed and seemed to have changed quite a bit compared to when he had woken up in the past. Looking at the scene before him, the Lord of Darkness sighed softly. Then, he looked at Orith and extended his hand.

It was just a simple stretch of hand, a very calm and natural action, but it seemed to carry the entire world’s power, making people unable to resist. Orith also had no intention of resisting the lord he believed in. In the end, that seemingly tender palm fell on Orith’s head.

Then, scenes began to appear in his mind. All the scenes he had experienced, all the knowledge and information stored in his mind from the time Orith was born until now appeared and were replayed once again in his mind. That feeling was wonderful as if he had experienced the past scenes again. Scenes that he remembered, did not remember, and those already buried deep in his memory were replayed and were awakened once again, all happening in a short moment.

“So that’s how it is…” When Orith regained consciousness, the Lord of Darkness’s thoughtful voice sounded, “The progress of the world fusion has accelerated since the Gods fell silent. It seems that the next era is critical. Interesting…” A smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

As the Lord of Darkness, his level far surpassed that of mortals. For such an existence, it was only a matter of an instant for him to extract the memories and information in the minds of mortals. Not to mention that Orith was not someone else but a follower of the Lord of Darkness himself. It would be easier to do all of this by connecting the thread of faith.

After extracting the information from Orith’s mind, the Lord of Darkness had made up for more than two thousand years of loss and had a new understanding of everything in this era.

“Acto…” The Lord of Darkness looked into the distance, chanted Acto’s name, and frowned, “Fighting against the Dusk Cult alone, fighting against the Dusk God alone. This era can give birth to such an existence…”

After extracting Orith’s memories and learning about the recent events on this land, the Lord of Darkness quickly felt something was wrong. Ordinary people naturally did not know about the collision and the merger of the Abyss World and the World of Gods.

However, as a God and the most honorable and top-notch existence in this world, the Lord of Darkness was naturally very clear about the battle. He was even a person who had personally experienced that battle and participated in the battle between the Gods and the Abyss back then. Hence, he also had his understanding of this era from the Gods’ perspective.

From the outside, it seemed that the powerhouses of this era were extinct. The elemental tides were gradually weakening. The reason why there were fewer powerhouses was because of the Gods’ silence. However, from the Lord of Darkness’s point of view, it was due to the fusion of the two worlds.

During the fusion process, the laws of the two worlds clashed against each other and slowly intertwined. A large amount of power from the world was mobilized and thrown into it, resulting in the weakening of the world’s environment.

Even the pillars of this world, the Gods, were forced to fall into a deep slumber due to the world’s influence. It could be seen just how severely the world’s power consumption was. The world could only mobilize so much power within a certain period. If more power were mobilized there, naturally, there would be less in other places. And this led to the deterioration of the environment and the thinning and reduction of elements. The weakening of the environment also led to the scarcity of powerhouses. This was the reason why there were few powerhouses in this era. And other than those who directly inherited the power of the Gods in this era, the rest of the people’s power should be weak. Even one of the essential powers left behind by the Gods, the church, was also becoming weaker under this situation, becoming commonplace.

However, some powerhouses stood out in this environment and displayed a powerful strength enough to fight against divine weapons. This situation is undoubtedly surprising.
