Chapter 199 The BodyThe Original Hermit Who Seeks Knowledge
[The noise coming from outside the cave is getting louder and louder, and the roar of the dragon is constantly echoing in your ears...]
[You carefully observe the throne in front of you, and suddenly realize that there seems to be something hidden behind it. 】
[You quickly move forward and soon arrive behind the huge throne...]
[Behind the huge throne are piled up the rotting corpses of countless dragons, and the stinky and disgusting aura is emanating from these corpses. 】
[Some of the dragon corpses have turned into pale bones, while some still have some flesh and blood that have not yet completely decayed.]
[What makes your hair stand on end is that the dragon corpses all have varying degrees of deformity, either with enlarged and mutilated limbs, or with abnormal physical deformation. 】
[But all the corpses have the same characteristic, that is, they have dense eyes! 】
[Some corpses still keep their eyes open after death, and all you can see in those blood-red dragon eyes is endless madness...]
[When you compare several decayed corpses, what you piece together in your mind is not the appearance of the 'Black Dragon', but the form of the 'ancient hermit - the Dark Dragon'. 】
[It’s just that these corpses are too small, not even as good as the young dragons you saw in the memory of the ‘Dark Dragon Knight’. 】
[The corpses of dragons are piled up into a hill, and dark, corrupt liquid is constantly flowing from the corpses. 】
[The foul-smelling rotting water seeps into the surface, making the ores embedded in the rock walls even more shiny.]
[You understand, the blood power left by these corpses nourishes the Dragon Nest, and the entire Hermit Canyon benefits from this.]
[Dragon corpses are piled up next to the rock wall. Suddenly, through the gaps between the corpses, you see that what is behind is not the rock wall you expected, but a different cave. 】
[This does not seem to be the end of the cave, the mountain of corpses blocks the space behind it...]
【Do you want to climb the mountain of corpses and get into the hidden space? 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and had a premonition in his heart.
Behind the throne are piled up the corpses of countless young 'Dark Dragons'. These corpses not only play the role of nourishing the dragon's nest, but also conceal the deepest secrets of the cave.
[Ignoring the stench emanating from the corpses, you climbed up the mountain of corpses using your hands and feet...]
[You will inevitably touch the rotting water flowing from the corpse, and the black dragon flames surrounding you will burn violently, and you will make a hissing sound every time you touch the rotting water.]
[As the rotting water transpired, the flame waves of the ‘Black Dragon’s Breath’ quickly attenuated and dimmed. 】
[You felt something bad, and carefully avoided the rotting water while climbing...]
[You enter the space behind the dragon corpse, which is still a cave passage. 】
[There are many dragon corpses scattered in the huge passage, all of which are young forms of the ‘Dark Dragon’. 】
[You continue to move along the passage. As you move forward, the intimidating power of the dragon gradually weakens. 】
[But the stench of corruption is getting stronger and stronger, and you can't help but retching. If it weren't for the baptism of the mountain of corpses before, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it at this time. 】
[You endured the discomfort and came to the end of the cave...]
[The black water of corruption has gathered into a river, submerged up to your ankles, and the 'black dragon's breath' surrounding you is getting darker and darker. 】
[A huge mountain of flesh and blood occupies all your field of vision, and everything you see is the rotten and stinky flesh and blood...]
[The mountain of rotten flesh stands on countless deformed dragon corpses. It squirms and absorbs the broken dragon corpses into flesh and blood, and then squeezes out a fresh but still deformed baby dragon. 】
[The newborn baby dragon's body is covered with dark mucus. It waves its mutilated and deformed limbs, raises its neck high, and opens its jaws as if it wants to roar crazily...]
[But soon, it lowered its dragon head feebly, the light in its dense eyes extinguished, and it became one of countless dragon corpses. 】
[You look at the squirming mountain of flesh, and a bone-chilling chill rushes from the soles of your feet to the top of your skull.]
[You discovered the ‘Ancestor of the Hermits—The Ancient Black Dragon’! 】
[Your sudden appearance seems to have attracted the attention of the Mountain of Flesh. It no longer absorbs deformed dragon corpses, nor does it produce heirs that die at birth. ]
[The mountain of flesh and blood stopped squirming, and the old and loving voice echoed in the cave...]
【Child, come forward.】
[Your weak body is no longer able to gallop on the battlefield. Return the power of your blood to me, and I will grant you new life...]
[Are you going to follow the instructions and get closer to the ‘ancestor of the hermit—the ancient black dragon’? 】
Lin Xun couldn't believe that the rotten flesh mountain in front of him was the ancestor of all black dragons, the ancestor of the legendary hermit.
The memory of 'Crippled Horn Shalu' emerged... [In order not to waste these precious bloodline powers and continue to contribute to the divine war, the ancestors could only eat the remains of their descendants to restore part of their strength. The most terrifying part is not here, but
Continuously giving birth to offspring, and no matter how frequently they devour offspring, terrifying 'disorder' will result.】
The ancestor of the Hermit went crazy because of 'disorder'.
According to the contents of the memory, the 'Almighty True Knowledge' has also fallen into madness due to 'disorder'.
However, the madness of the 'Hermit Ancestor' comes from the 'disorder' produced by torma. Where was the 'disorder' that caused the 'Almighty True Knowledge' to fall into madness?
Lin Xun felt extremely frightened when he thought about it, and he still didn't make a choice.
[Hesitating, you were silently inspired by the power of blood, and you walked uncontrollably towards the mountain of flesh and blood...]
It’s going to be bad!
Lin Xun came to his senses instantly and wanted to press the 'no' option to stop moving forward.
The body was uncontrollable and walked straight towards the ancestor.
In an instant, his mind changed rapidly, and he suddenly switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fallen earth giant’! 】
[The summoning power from the bloodline suddenly disappeared, and you stopped moving forward...]
[Also disappearing with it is the ‘Black Dragon’s Breath’ surrounding you, and your feet are immersed in the corrupt black water without any cover...]
[Severe pain is felt for a moment, and black air steams up. Even if you have the ‘anti-toxic crystal core of the divine light moth’, your feet are being corroded by the poison at a speed visible to the naked eye. 】
[You understand, even if you don’t set foot on the distant mountain of dragon corpses and stay away from the ‘Hermit Ancestor’, you will still die from poisonous corrosion! 】
[Do you want to switch back to the body of the ‘looking up pure-blood half-dragon’? 】
Lin Xun ignored the options, but quickly summoned the Valkyrie and gave the 'ride' command.
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ walks from the void...]
[You tilt your body, the bones in your feet have been corroded, and you are about to fall into the black water of corruption...]
[The Valkyrie flaps her wings and takes you into the sky, away from the black water under your feet.]
[Looking at your feet, you see that the bones on the soles of the feet have melted and disappeared, and the exposed tibia and calf muscles are still dripping with rotten water.]
[The old and loving voice echoed again...]
[Child, why are you so reluctant to come forward? 】
[Do you want to refuse to serve the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’... My child, don’t let the fear of death cover your eyes, come forward, what awaits you will be a perfect rebirth...]
[The voice suddenly stopped, and then the tone was filled with deep surprise and disbelief.]
【No...you are not my child!】
[You look like this...could it be that you are a messenger of the true God?]
[The whole mountain of flesh and blood is trembling faintly, as if it is excited and wants to squirm closer to you, but it struggled for a long time and was unable to move forward. 】
[The voice of the hermit ancestor sounded again.]
[You must be a messenger of the true God, and you have the great divine power of ‘omnipotence and true knowledge’ left in you! 】
[Also... I have not given birth to an heir who can participate in the war of gods for a long time. The war of gods cannot be carried out without the power of my hermit family. No wonder the messenger of the true god came to urge me. ]
[Messenger of the True God, please wait a moment, I will give birth to an heir and make a contract with you...]
[The mountain of flesh and blood was shaking with excitement. It absorbed three offspring bodies one after another, and after a long time of squirming, it squeezed out a newborn baby dragon covered in mucus. 】
[It’s just that this young dragon is more deformed than what you have seen before. Except for the unstretched wings that have the appearance of a dragon, the body is difficult to identify the characteristics of the dragon. 】
[It’s not so much a baby dragon as it is a mass of flesh and blood polymer with wings. 】
[The deformed baby dragon is motionless and silent, and died before it was born. 】
【The old voice is no longer gentle, but full of anger.】
【Why! Why is it still like this!】
[It must be the evil gods of the stars that have placed a curse on me, so that my children can no longer participate in the war between gods. It must be like this, it must be like this! 】
[The ancestor of the hermit roared wildly, shaking the whole cave and causing rocks to fall.]
[It repeats the same words and continues to absorb the corpses of its offspring, but it can only give birth to more deformed lumps of flesh.]
[You look at the crazy hermit ancestor and feel a trace of pity in your heart for no reason. 】
【Do you want to tell it the truth you know? 】
The ancestor of the hermit seems to have forgotten his existence and continues to do useless work.
Lin Xun had no other choice but to choose 'yes'.
[You speak loudly about the fact that the war between gods has ended long ago and the stars have been defeated and hidden...]
[The mountain of flesh and blood suddenly stopped shaking, interrupting the act of giving birth to deformed heirs.]
[Time seems to stand still, and the ancestor of the hermit has been motionless for a long time. 】
[Suddenly, the mountain of flesh and blood shrank extremely, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from a behemoth to a stooped old man in black robes. 】
[The old man’s face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes only have two empty eye sockets. 】
[It seems to want to take a step closer to you, but the flesh and blood of its legs are stuck to the baby dragon corpse, making it unable to move forward at all. 】
[At this time, the loud roar of the 'Corrupted Leviathan' came from far outside the cave, and the sound seemed to be very close...]
[The old man in black robe listened carefully, and then sighed. It told you that it knew everything you told it, but 'Disorder' had already occupied all its thinking. 】
[The current wakefulness can only last for a short moment, so please be sure to listen carefully to its words at this time.]
[At the beginning of the birth of ‘Discord’, when it was still conscious, it used secret methods to preserve a trace of its pure bloodline. 】
[After being contaminated by 'Disorder', its whole body's blood has long been filthy, leaving only a trace of blood that has not been contaminated. 】
[It is precisely because of this that it can survive until now and stay awake for a moment, but 'Disorder' will eventually swallow it up...]
[It decided to give this trace of uncontaminated blood to you, to the person favored by the true god.]
[It has only one requirement, and that is...]
[Unless the True God can get rid of ‘Disorder’, you will never set foot in the ‘Temple of Knowledge’ again! 】
[This is its only request from you, and it is also the advice given to you by an elder who is about to pass away.]
[Do you want to agree to the request of the ‘Ancestor of the Hermit—The Ancient Black Dragon’? 】
Lin Xun was startled.
Don't set foot in the 'Temple of Knowledge'... But now the 'Almighty True Knowledge' is asleep, and there is only one person in the 'Temple of Knowledge'.
The kind smile of the 'Servant of the God of Knowledge' flashed through my mind.
There is still half of the 'Incomplete Star Map' in the inventory. If you can collect the remaining parts, you can enter the 'Temple of Knowledge' and read the Book of Gods' Favorites again.
But somehow, he pressed 'yes' by mistake and agreed to the request of the Hermit Ancestor.
[The old man in black robe smiles happily, he bites his fingertip, and a drop of pure black blood overflows, floating towards you...]
[You have merged into the bloodline of the ‘Ancestor of the Hermit—The Ancient Black Dragon’! 】
[Your body, the ‘looking up pure-blood half-dragon’, has been improved! 】
[As the remaining pure blood left the body, the face of the old man in black robe suddenly became twisted and ferocious, his expression full of madness.]
[It opened its mouth wide, stretched its upper and lower jaws, and grinned from the corners of its mouth to the base of its ears...]
[The jet-black dragon's breath that burned out all the life force brewed in the mouth...and then spewed out!]
[You watch yourself being surrounded by endless black dragon flames.]
[The strong body instantly turned into a puddle of pus, and then evaporated...]
[The black dragon flames pass through you, burning everything in front of you, melting the piles of dragon corpses, melting the sworn heirs sleeping in sweet dreams, and melting the giant star beasts that destroyed the dragon nest...]
[The entire dragon's lair and the entire Hermit Canyon were reduced to ashes under the black dragon flames!]

【……】
[Ordinary wandering souls are reborn in the Multi-View Association...]
Lin Xun was stunned for a long time, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
The ancestor of the Hermit gave him the last trace of his unpolluted blood, and buried the entire filthy Hermit Canyon into history at the cost of his life.
As the last believer in the canyon who is loyal to the "Almighty True Knowledge", it uses its own methods to purify the blood of countless people who have broken their oaths, just for the sake of the remaining piety under the endless madness.
Lin Xun cannot evaluate the behavior of the hermit ancestors based solely on right or wrong, because there are countless mining slaves in the canyon, and they can only be regarded as ignorant people, not oathbreakers who betrayed their ancestors.
He shook his head, thought no more, and opened the body panel.
Not only did the attributes of the 'looking up pure-blooded dragon man' change, but even the name of his body had completely changed, as if he had put on a brand new body.
