Chapter 400: The only Essence

The sky suddenly darkened, and countless shadows emerged from the cracks, wreaking havoc on the grassland.

Artemis looked around in surprise, and couldn't help but hold the longbow tightly.

"This... is really beyond my expectations? What's going on?" She frowned.

Demeter seemed to understand:

"Is it the enemy? This kind of temptation is repeated in the first dream, right? The person who buried the power of creation back then should not be so..."

"There should be something else in it."

"In short, everyone should be careful and stay alert."

Li Yang said in a deep voice, raising his hand to summon the plants that spread around.

The lantern grass at the head emitted a dazzling light, blocking the surrounding shadows.

But the next moment, the invading shadows suddenly condensed and turned into some kind of amorphous giant beast, sweeping towards everyone.

Li Yang and Artemis used their power at the same time to isolate it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held the power of death tightly, frowning.

Although she had just escaped from the nightmare brought by Tartarus...her own father.

The shadow brought by her father had not yet passed, and the power of death in her hand made her feel particularly hot.

But one of her purposes for coming here this time was to overcome the fear of [death].

The black invisible creatures kept squeezing towards the center, as if they wanted to swallow everyone.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Demeter suddenly murmured:

"Except for the fifth layer, the previous dreams were all after Artemis imposed a cognitive filter."

"According to what you said, most of what was shown just now were disasters caused by the power of creation."

"The current situation should also be one of them..."

"But, what exactly is this?"

She pondered and stepped back a few steps.

"Grassland, sunshine, flowers, sky..."

"And this group of creatures that cannot maintain a specific shape."

"It seems that there is no trace of the influence of the power of creation here."

"It's really strange..."

After hearing this, Artemis suddenly slowly put down the longbow in her hand.

Slightly narrowing her eyes, she stood still and looked at something deep in the black creature.

Then, he murmured to himself:

"That year, the God's Domain granted immortality to all living things in the universe, preserving their souls, destroying their bodies, and restoring their gods. After the defeat, all creatures became one, indistinguishable from each other, and there was no possibility of returning..."

"If what we encountered before were tragedies caused by the God's Domain trying to continue immortality in the form of the flesh..."

"This is the result of using the power of creation to seek eternal will."

"After the experiment, the bodies of the creatures on this planet will still rot and die due to various accidents and return to the soil, but the will cannot be extinguished."

"And as time goes on, this journey to seek immortality eventually alienated into an inevitable disaster."

"The immortal will means that those beings cannot even become numb with time and give up thinking."

"Those immortal souls are still crazy after all."

"They They blended with each other, accumulated more and more on the planet, and had no place to release their energy. "

"Over a long period of time, they formed a kind of existence that was completely opposite to all the existing matter in the universe."

"A considerable part of them combined with existing matter and turned into a kind of existence that was completely against the power of authority."

"These things also became one of the biggest threats to the realm of God for a time."

"After the second generation of the Titan God King took the throne, those existences were sealed in the world outside the plane..."

"But that's all later."

"This large group of condensed objects in front of us is the appearance of those painful souls that could not be dissipated condensed shortly after the disaster broke out."

"They can't have a substantial impact on us, so there's no need to worry too much."

After saying that, Artemis reached out and touched the body of the dark creature in front of her.

Sure enough, the extremely dark body, at the moment of contact with Artemis, spread out like smoke.

However, Demeter frowned in confusion:

"But... why?"

Artemis tilted her head in confusion: "Why?"

Demeter looked into her eyes and asked seriously: "Why... do you know these things?"

"I think I have studied the history of the God's Realm thoroughly enough, but I have never heard of such a thing."

"The creature you are talking about is generally known in the God's Realm as a creature from the Land of Death discovered by the pioneers who sailed the universe at the time."

"Although I have also been curious about why it is so coincidental that there are things that can restrain the power of the gods."

"I even searched a lot of information for this, and even risked dissecting and studying those things."

"Even though I have done this, I have never heard of such a story..."

"Because of the vision of a generation of gods who wanted to live forever, they created immortal evil things..."

"Why would there be such a thing..."

Artemis smiled, said nothing, and just looked at her silently.

The black beside him seemed to have discovered that he could not directly interfere with reality, and finally chose to give up, and gradually faded away, revealing the sunny lawn at the beginning.

The original sky reappeared, and the sun shone on the earth again, even more brilliantly than before.

Everything around him returned to peace, but everyone did not feel very fortunate.

Artemis looked at Demeter and slowly said:

"The history of the realm of gods is indeed hidden from most of you. This story has indeed never been widely circulated."

"But what I said is true. In order to gain eternal life, the gods paid such a heavy price. This is the history that was deliberately covered up."

"As for why I, as a third-generation god, know all about that past..."

"The reason is actually very simple."

"Because my authority is something that has been passed down from the first generation of gods."

"It is not new that the will of gods will be retained in authority, and you should all know it."

"Therefore, even if I have not experienced it personally, I still have a deep understanding of that eradicated land. The historical memory is still fresh in our memory. "

Demeter pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:

"So that's it... No wonder you were chosen as the candidate for the King of Gods..."

Artemis smiled and looked up at the sky:

"The gods conquered countless star fields and established a vast territory. But after we gained such glory, we began to covet immortality and pursue it at a destructive cost. "

"Until the real disaster happens, we will realize our mistakes and make improvements..."

"But the losses we have suffered will always continue to show up in the next generation. "

"What has been done will be done again, and what has happened will happen again..."

"This is the only thing I have learned after thousands of years. "
