Chapter 13: Dead

Translator: Sigma Editor: – –

The White Leaf Village was completely quiet . The ice energy seemed to still vaguely hover in the air . But all the architectures were ruined . There was a gray thick layer of ashes on the ground, where some slovenly remains could be found .

Sui Xiong was watching from afar, shaking his head, and letting out a deep sigh .

Now he knew ‘antecedents and consequences’, also knew why the old priest suddenly resented him like this —-good and evil were mortal enemies .

The fight between good and evil, the fight between philosophies, the fight between standpoints . . . frankly saying, it was a type of ideology fight . On Earth, if these kinds of fights were led by two superpowers, it would be enough to destroy mankind with the killing from different influences combined . But in this world, each God Systems, each country, each race, each religious sect would fight right away if they had any ideology conflicts . The old priest bit the hand that fed him, the ruthless took actions . In this kind of context, in fact, this was really nothing .

But the lives of more than a hundred people in the White Leaf Village were taken, simply because the old priest wanted to take revenge on an entity that was against his ideology .

He also didn’t regret using his all-powerful strike to the extent that it affected innocent people . At that time, his knowledge about this world was very little, facing such a huge crisis, what was wrong with fighting back? But to these villagers who had died unjustly, he was full of sympathies . But this kind of intense ideology fight like this was hard for the common people to understand in this world . It was also resentful .

“This world is a bit sick . . . ”

While thinking about this, he directed the giant jellyfish body to wander around the village . His massive tentacles created holes on the ground, which were deeper than any one from any kind of powerful holes . These holes were formed into a simple magic formation .

This was the guardian circle . The deceased, could have been reanimated if they were placed inside of that circle .

The so-called returned to be an alive object was just the dark power of the dead creature—- in accordance with this world’s theory, it was called the negative energy—–under the influence of the erosion, the body would be reactivated again, turned into a moving magic object . This kind of magic object didn’t have any intelligence, since it was just mainly based on the negative energy and its distinct ability to attack the objects nearby which got the hidden power —–which could be easily found in many natural creatures .

Before jumping space, Sui Xiong used to be a game nerd . He had played many different games . In his experience, any magic object that was revived after being dead was called “Immortality” . But in fact, the so-called “Immortality” was divided into two parts, a reanimatedreanimated creature and an immortal creature . The first one was merely a magic object without wisdom . The last one was the power with intelligence, which were the dangerous demons that constantly grew .

The immortal creatures came from many sources, but there were gods behind these creatures . Therefore, they were called the invincible influence in this world . However, the reanimated creature was different . Its biggest basic weakness was the lack of wisdom . It could not provide religious power, thus, it could not be in charge of any complex work . Regardless of protection or respect, the majority of the immortal creatures despised them; they were the lowest of the low ones—- even though many immortal creatures originated from reanimated creatures .

But the Black Forest, a low-ranked reanimated creature, brought the biggest threats to the people .

The official name of the Black Forest was the Ash Forest . In the ancient times’ legend, there were a few great wars that had taken place between the Gods here . When the Gods died, they turned into ashes, which polluted this forest . Since then, this forest became the birthplace of the negative energy . There wasn’t a minute it stopped radiating negative energy . While eroding the soils around, the remains in this forest was then condensed and turned into reanimated creatures .

Strange enough, no matter how powerful the reanimated creatures in this place became, they wouldn’t be able to evolve . It was pointless for the Ash Forest to try recruiting those evil immoral creatures . Only poor villagers who were staying here tried to break the fresh ground .

Through the analysis about the power of the Sleepless God on the shrine, Sui Xiong had obtained the method in absorbing negative energy . At this moment, he was designing a magic formation to extract the negative energy and scatter it around .

However, without the negative energy, these dead remains could not possibly be reanimated .

His big-sized body was convenient . No matter what tools Sui Xiong used, with the power of his tentacles, he could finish the magic formation in a short time . With his fundamental trainings from the third-rate art school, the entire magic formation was completely perfect without any flaws .

He stepped into the White Leaf Village again to carefully check before starting the magic formation .

This magic formation would reduce the concentration of the negative energy on a big scale . If there was an immortal creature in the village, it would immediately be killed .

Although the immortal creatures were rarely seen, there would perhaps be an exception .

Things happened as he had expected . In the ruins, he had found an immortal creature .

That thing was just a departed spirit, which was making a fighting pose to fight with the enemy which did not exist .

Just with a glance, Sui Xiong could immediately recognize it—-bald, tall, quick, this fellow was none other than the most powerful soldier in the village!

According to the information from the God Shrine, this brawny man was called Gerrard Bane . He used to be a mercenary . Because he had offended a big person, he had to run to the remote and desolate Ash Forest to live in seclusion . He didn’t have religion and didn’t worship any God . He just trusted only in his ax . He liked to lecture others . His prestige was pretty high in the village and was a thorn in the old priest’s eyes .

In this powerhouse world, it was sectioned into three ranks of bronze, silver and gold . The particular characteristics of advancement were the transformation of the life form . And creatures in the golden rank were the super powerful legendary characters with a very long longevity, they . . . were evil God . Gerrard and the old priest were both in the bronze rank . In terms of power, twenty to thirty muscular men were not enough to beat him . This old priest was aged and weak while Gerrard was in his prime . When both sides fought, the old priest always fell on the lower hand .

As a god priest, he had many spells to use . Yet Gerrard was a crafty fellow who had been in Jianghu for many years, very cunning . He didn’t give the old priest a chance to harm him . When the intense fight that had happened during the night, the old priest had sacrificed himself, so that his servants could be able to kill Sui Xiong . However, the result was that Gerrard and the entire village had been buried .

Sui Xiong attentively stared at Gerrard’s departed spirit . The majority of the spirit’s body had become gloomy . There was only one light on the heart position that was still jumping . If nothing unexpectedly happened, after a while, he would completely dissipate and turn into a part of the negative energy in the Ash Forest .

But Sui Xiong had come, there would definitely be some changes .

After thinking for a while, Sui Xiong immediately released his dark power, turned it into a gray orb, capturing Gerrard inside .

Inside the ball was full of negative energy . Under the control of Sui Xiong over the dark power, they constantly poured into Gerrard’s spirit to strengthen his departed spirit . After a while, this departed spirit showed up with his human-like appearance . The intellectual halo glowed on his face .

He stopped, stood there, stunningly looked around attentively .

“What . . . happened?”

“You are already dead . ” Sui Xiong said .

Gerrard turned his head around looking at that giant beast, his bewildered look still hadn’t disappeared completely yet: “What on earth has happened?”

Sui Xiong sighed, then explained everything from the beginning till the end to him, “Everything is this . . . ” After listening to Sui Xiong’s explanation, Gerrard was deep in his thoughts for a long time . All his exclamations had finally turned into a sigh .

“What are you going to do?” Seeing his down expression, Sui Xiong asked, “Does going to Hell mean going to the God Kingdom?”

In this world, if a spirit died and didn’t dissipate or turned into an immortal creature, there would be only two places to go, either going to the Hell to gamble their lucks to see if they could turn into evil monsters or going to the river styx to wash away their sins and reincarnate, or finding the God kingdom of the god he worshiped to become God and live in that kingdom for some numbers of years, finally blend in with that place and turn into a part of the God Kingdom .

The information Sui Xiong had gotten was not considered many . Therefore, he didn’t know what the Hell and the God Kingdom exactly looked like . He wasn’t certain about that . But according to his thoughts, either choice was alright .

Wanting to reincarnate, fine, let’s directly reincarnate, what kind of demons and ghosts will I change to? On the other hand, going to the God Kingdom is not bad . But what if I am to be turned into some architecture’s material?

Gerrard was deep in thoughts for a while then spoke up, “That year, I worshiped the thief God, then later gave up on that religion . Right now, I don’t believe in God . No Kingdom will accept me . And Hell . . . I don’t want to go there . . . ”

“Then there is no other way . We only have two paths, one is dissipating, and the other is to turn into an Immortal creature . Which one do you choose?” Sui Xiong said, “Dissipating is easy . To be an Immortal creature, I have a little confidence about it . . I can help you transform, at least help you retain some intelligence . ”

“I don’t want to be a departed spirit or a dead knight . . . ”

“Your standards are really high . ”

Gerrard smiled, “I didn’t think when I was alive, that I would be hunted down by some bronze rank killer and would have to run for my life . After dying, I could have a fun chat with a legendary formidable monster . . . . fine, I am also open, let’s dissipate . ”

After going through the most difficult challenge of all time, which was death, at this moment, he had let go of everything, he somewhat became more care-free .

But Sui Xiong was not willing to let him die like this . This Gerrard is not bad . He still gets some kills . The most important thing is that he has been traveling extensively, has a broad and diverse experience . I am still unfamiliar with this world . The information I’ve gotten from the shrine was not trustworthy . If I can keep Gerrard beside me, have him guide me, it will definitely much more convenient .

No need to say more and let this bald guy pretend to be a magician . I will pretend to be his summoned legendary creature . Then it will be less troublesome! With my massive-sized body, if I can’t find a suitable identity to go out and have to come out by myself, it will be impossible not to cause any crisis .

Hence, he thought for a long time then finally decided .

“This is . . . . . let’s try making a body . . . ” He said .

“What?” Gerrard was dumbfounded . He didn’t understand what he was saying .

“I am thinking a way to make you a body to see if you can revive or not . ”

Gerrard rejoiced, but he still had a little hesitance—–the bad reputation of the Dead Soul Magic made him couldn’t help but be scared .

But he thought again, did such powerful creature like him need to deceive a small mortal person? Like in many of the old folk tales, demons would deceive the mortal people to sign an agreement and cheat those outstanding characters who had a bright future ahead of them . But who would waste time and efforts on a dead adventurer, whose spirit was about to dissipate? Directly launching magic on an immortal creature was not good . . .

After thinking until this, he was then at ease, but still couldn’t help but ask, “Can you really do this?”

Sui Xiong snickered, “Just try a little bit . You are waiting to die anyway . Even if the resurrection fails, you have nothing to lose either . ”

The persuasiveness of these words is one hundred percent . It is like someone is preparing to quit a game, they check on their accounts for a bit, but it gets hacked, then what is the relationship?

Ok, no problem!

Gerrard thought for a while then immediately accepted this offer, then cooperated with Sui Xiong, started to create a body .
