Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 358

Chapter 358: The truth
“After all these years, my guess was right.”

A magnetic male voice came from the darkness. Just hearing this voice made Alex feel like the speaker was a high-spirited, handsome, and valiant young man.

Following the sound, the surrounding darkness instantly receded. Although it was still pitch black, she could now see her surroundings.

Standing not far in front of Alex was a dark shadow. She couldn’t see his face or any specific features, only that it was a human figure and that the voice came from him.

“Are you the previous Undead Lord or the first Lord from back then?”

Alex asked the shadow with a hint of doubt in her voice. She couldn’t sense any power from him, nor could she determine his identity.

After all, this space was built by the first Lord, but the tomb belonged to the Undead Lord.

“Oh, right. I almost forgot to introduce myself. To be able to come here and trigger this seal, you must be my future successor. I am the previous Undead Lord, a dead man.”

The shadow spoke slowly. Alex was a little excited to hear this, but his next words quickly disappointed her.

“Back then, I knew I was going to die, so I separated a trace of primal power and handed it over to him. He sealed a part of my memory. To be precise, I am now just a pre-designed image and cannot communicate with you.”

The shadow just muttered to himself, “Since you are here, it means that he also failed to ascend to godhood, right? Then his ending must be the same as mine, his traces will be erased. I won’t mention his name, it will be noticed. Next, I will tell you some things, listen carefully.”

“So it’s just an image. It seems that he deliberately left it behind to convey a message.”

Alex felt somewhat disappointed. She thought she could communicate with him, but now it seemed that she could only listen to what he had to say.

“Where should I start? This is really troublesome. The origin of the world? But since you are here, your strength must have at least reached the Emperor level, right? You should know something about this world.

First of all, the World’s Heart of Planet Astralon, the will of this world, is actually the god who helped the first batch of pioneers descend. He created this world.

With his change of identity, the first batch of pioneers successfully settled down here. It’s right to say that they were the first batch of pioneers, and it’s also right to say that they were the first batch of native races on Planet Astralon.

Speaking of this, you should understand why Planet Astralon has become like this.

My friend told me that after their god brought them here, he would leave after a hundred years. He guessed that their god would have a confrontation with the will of Planet Astralon. The loser would be assimilated, and the winner would become the new World’s Heart.

Obviously, the World’s Heart of Planet Astralon has become stronger and stronger. In the past tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to defeat the World’s Heart.

Of course, this won’t have any impact on the native creatures. But haven’t you noticed? We are all descendants of those pioneers. We are like guinea pigs in a cage, sacrifices in the battle between two unknown Gods. This is a cycle, endless.

Only by successfully ascending to godhood can we jump out of this cage. The birth of every god will weaken the power of the World’s Heart. On the contrary, if God’s power becomes stronger and stronger, it will become more and more difficult to become a god.

This is the truth of this world. This place is like a huge battlefield, and the fighting will never stop. These two gods are the players, and we are all just chess pieces.

Of course, if you want to live a peaceful life in the Eldoria continent, be a pawn, and be devoured by the storm in the end, just treat what I said as nonsense. But I believe you are not that kind of person.”

The previous Undead Lord rattled on and on, then suddenly stopped, obviously giving the listener, Alex, time to digest the information.

The previous Undead Lord didn’t speak very directly, but Alex understood.

Simply put, the struggle on Planet Astralon would never stop. If you didn’t want to be affected, the only way was to become a god and jump out of this scope.

Otherwise, the final outcome would be to become a sacrifice for either side. However, this Undead Lord didn’t know that Alex was an extraterrestrial visitor.

So strictly speaking, the current extraterrestrial visitors were on the opposite side of the World’s Heart.

“But what I just said is just the beginning. Some powerful races know the truth, which is why they keep wanting to become gods.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Angel race. They are now puppets of the World’s Heart, guardians of this world. If you want to become a god, you will definitely be obstructed by them.

This is public information. As for whether there are other races, I don’t know. You have to be prepared. The number of gods in the Angel race is almost the sum of all other races.”

Alex was taken aback. The Angel race was that strong?

“Speaking of this, you must have a question: where did those gods go after they ascended? Why did they disappear?

It’s very simple. The World’s Heart will reject them and expel them. You have to understand that the World’s Heart represents the entire world, and the time these gods can stay will vary according to the strength of their power.

Every time they take action, it will increase the World’s Heart’s rejection of them, thus shortening their stay. If they don’t want to leave, they can only stand on the side of the World’s Heart and become a pseudo-god.”

Alex’s pupils constricted. Although she still had some questions, some things had become clear.

Even gods couldn’t fight against the entire world. It was inevitable to be expelled by the will of the world.

This also explained why the human race’s Magic God didn’t take action, and the Angel race’s pressing every step of the way was obviously forcing him to take action.

Perhaps this was the primary goal of the Angel race.

How could a race without a god resist the Angel race’s targeting?

As for the pseudo-god that the previous Undead Lord just mentioned, did all the gods of the Angel race become pseudo-gods after they surrendered to the World’s Heart?

Alex remembered that pseudo-gods were those who achieved godhood by using the Godheads of other gods.

Logically speaking, how could these pseudo-gods be a match for a real god?

Thinking about it this way, although the Angel race had many gods, they didn’t seem to be invincible.

Obviously, the races that cooperated with it must have also surrendered to the World’s Heart, such as the Titan race.

As for the Holy Court, it remained to be seen.

“Now that you understand the truth of the world, I will tell you about the levels of gods.”

Alex’s eyes lit up. This was exactly what she wanted to know.

“Since you have already reached the Emperor level, you should understand the importance of the power of law. How to achieve the Sovereign level, or rather, after reaching the Sovereign level, the strength of your power is entirely determined by the strength of the power of law.”

The previous Undead Lord said to himself, but Alex couldn’t help but retort.

“You think too highly of me. I’m only at the King level!”
