Below the iron gate is a pitch-black tunnel. The four walls of the tunnel are full of hard frozen soil and there are no lighting facilities. It seems that this place is not intended for people to visit, so it doesn't need that kind of thing.

Few people come here, and few are qualified to come here.

He found an old elevator along the tunnel countryside.

“Can this elevator work?”

"Yes, this is the only device that can go down. Don't worry, there is no alarm device, because no one can come here without permission."

The elevator rumbled and sinked.

The descending was very slow, and as the elevator descended, the chill gradually deepened. Xuan Hao could clearly feel the elemental turbulence below.

There seems to be something terrifyingly powerful below.

After a long time, the elevator finally came to the end.

As the elevator door opened, Xuan Hao frowned.

"Didn't you tell me there is poisonous gas here?"

The space here is covered with deadly poison gas, and anyone who breaks in without any defense will have only one way to die. It is precisely because of this that there is no need for guards here.

"Aren't you going to die?"

“That’s right…”

Xuan Hao was too lazy to argue with this guy and walked out of the elevator.

What caught my eye was the empty space. The crimson light from unknown sources vaguely illuminated everything here. What was even brighter was the huge alchemy matrix under his feet, with dark blue mercury flowing in the matrix.

Similar alchemy matrix is ​​also found in the underground ice cellar of Kassel Academy. This is an alchemy matrix similar to a magnifying glass, which can increase a certain spirit by hundreds of times.

Of course, the alchemy matrix of the Great Sword requires extremely high alchemy attainments. The person in charge of the spoken spirit matrix in Kassel Academy is the vice president, or the tutor Flammel. His own spoken spirit is a "precept", and the effect is to invalidate almost all spoken spirits. With the help of the alchemy matrix, the entire Cassel Academy has become his field.

The alchemy matrix here also has the same amplification effect, but this is used to maintain the Nibelon root of the safe haven. As for why the technology of the Kassel Academy can create Nibelon root, of course, it is because they used what was locked up here. It should be said that it is not that there is a safe haven first and then Nibelon root, but that the entire safe haven was established on this basis.

“There is a lift next to it.”

"Um."

Xuan Hao started the elevator smoothly according to the instructions.

A huge thing rose from the mercury pool. It was four broken bronze pillars, the same as the bronze pillars that Xuan Hao saw at the Divine Burial. They were undoubtedly the remains of a dragon city. If nothing unexpected happens, this was the remains of a dragon city. People from Kassel Academy found something here and set up a safe haven here to facilitate their research.

Mercury slipped away from the surface of the copper pillar, and a glimmer of light flowed from the blazing golden body, carving an indelible totem.

Each copper pillar was dragged with a red and golden chain, hanging a pale human figure in the center. A twisted dark golden spear was inserted into the human figure's chest.

He had been soaking in the mercury pool for countless years, and the mercury seemed to have penetrated deeply into his skin, so his whole body was strangely grayish white, as if it was carved out of limestone.

Mercury flowed away from his face, revealing a childish little face.

Xuan Hao looked at the hanging figure expressionlessly, then at Lu Mingze standing beside him.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

The reason why he was confused was that the figure hanging up looked exactly the same as Lu Mingze beside him. He just always felt that there was something essential difference.

He can't say what's wrong. Although he looks the same, he just gives people a different feeling.

"Of course, I brought you here to tell you the truth. If you don't know anything, you can't help me." Lu Mingze also looked at the hanging figure, but his face was full of anger.

"Tell me."

"Do you know who the gods in this world are?" Lu Mingze asked.

"Black King?" Xuan Hao thought for a while, "in the textbooks of Kassel College, it is said that the Black King Niedhog is called the 'God'."

"No, he is not." Lu Mingze sneered and shook his head, "The people of Kassel Academy know nothing! The gods in their eyes are just existences that are powerful enough to confront. The Black King can be called the 'God' by them, the White King can be, and even if you want, you can. As long as you destroy the world in front of them and make them afraid, isn't that a very simple thing?"

"So you want to say that 'God' actually doesn't exist at all? As long as it is powerful, it can be called 'God'?"

"No, God really exists." Lu Mingze stared at Xuan Hao's eyes, "I don't need to prove this to you, right? Where does your 'immortality' come from? You should know the best."

"Do you even know this?" Xuan Hao looked at Lu Mingze in surprise.

"Of course I know, because... I used to be a god!" Lu Mingze almost screamed when he said this. His golden eyes were covered with blood, looking hideous and terrifying. There seemed to be nothing more angering than this.

"once?"

"Yes, once."

Lu Mingze looked fiercely at the figure hanging in the air.

"Once there was only one throne in this world, that was me, I was the origin of this world, I created this world! And this world betrayed me!"

"Create the world?" Xuan Hao was stunned, "As far as I know, the only people who can create this world... World Tree?"

"Is it an obvious answer?" Lu Mingze chuckled softly.

"Then what is this guy?" Xuan Hao pointed to the figure who was nailed to the pillar by 'Kungunier'. Since Lu Mingze is the World Tree, it is obvious that he will not be bored to nail himself to the pillar of shame.

"He? He is the one who betrayed me..." Lu Mingze's eyes were full of anger, "Aren't we here just to kill him?"

"Black King-Nidhog!"

"Wait..." Xuan Hao scratched his head, "This... Why does this guy look exactly like you? He is the Black King, you are the World Tree, no matter how you think about it, you can't be a brother, right?"

"This matter starts from the twilight of the gods..."

"No, no, no! Thank you for choosing the key points!" Xuan Hao interrupted Lu Mingze's chanting. He didn't have so much time to spend with this kid. No matter whether he is the World Tree or the Black King, he just wants to finish his work as soon as possible and go back to accompany Xia Mi.

"The Black King Needhog ate the roots of the World Tree and usurped part of my power." Lu Mingze suppressed his anger, "What he wanted was to swallow me up and replace me and become a true god!"

"It's that simple?" Xuan Hao was stunned.

"It's that simple." Lu Mingze's expressionless face, "I am the World Tree. All creatures in the world are my children. They should have worshipped me, respected me, and feared me, but he chose to betray me!"

"I understand this, is the so-called rebellious period?" Xuan Hao suddenly realized that this is the legendary treasure of his father's 'Gorgeous betrayal to my father'! Mordred called him an expert.

At this moment, he looked at the two of them again and finally knew the difference. The black king was nailed to the copper pillar, which was the king, and the one next to him was Lu Mingze, who was the god. The essential difference between this was like Herzog usurping the White King but not the heart of a dragon. How could a guy who wanted to usurp the "Tail of God" from Lu Mingze have the temperament of Lu Mingze?

It is a kind of self-righteous temperament, like crying and complaining, like a devil, a god, and the supreme, he is the only existence in this world, Black King? What a nonsense!

"What is the rebellious period? He really wants to swallow me up!" Lu Mingze said that he did not joke with Xuan Hao.

"I understand, Mordred really wants to kill his father." Xuan Hao spread his hands, "Isn't this kind of thing normal? Even the imperial family of ordinary humans will have a plot of killing the father and usurping the throne. Don't say that you are in control of the world. In this way, the Black King's plan to usurp the throne must have failed, right? Did you do this?"

Xuan Hao touched his chin and looked at the Black King who was nailed to the pillar. Without thinking, Lu Mingze must be the one who could nail him to the pillar.

"Yes, how could I stand there and not resist?" Lu Mingze sneered, "Isn't that right for the betrayer being nailed to the pillar of shame?"

"Then why didn't you just kill him?" Xuan Hao didn't understand at all, "Don't tell me that this is your own son who can't bear to bear it?"

"I..." Lu Mingze's tone was a little helpless, "I can't kill him."

"What does it mean to not be killed?" Xuan Hao was stunned, "Can he be like me?"

"No, he can be killed. But the key is that he swallowed a large part of my power. I will also hurt myself if I kill him. At that time, the whole world will fall into unpredictable chaos."

"Killing him is equivalent to killing yourself?" Xuan Hao looked at Lu Mingze speechlessly, "This is indeed a problem, but according to what you said, then the Black King cannot die? No matter how he dies, you will be severely injured. Then there will be more guys who will rebel against your power."

"That was the real end of the world." Lu Mingze chuckled softly, not seemingly nervous.

"Looking at how you can laugh, it means there is a way?"

"Of course, otherwise what would I take you here for?"

Lu Mingze looked at the Black King and seemed to see this guy suddenly opened his eyes and pounced towards him. However, he had nothing to be afraid of. Everything was ready. Even if the Black King woke up at this moment, he could not change the defeat.

"All I did was to wait for his awakening and to make sure I could get my strength back while killing him, but unfortunately, I couldn't beat him without any loss."

"So you asked me to kill him?"

Xuan Hao guessed his plan without thinking.

"Yes, unlike the twin Dragon King, my brother and I are one twin," Lu Mingze explained. "Brother he is in charge of the efforts, and I am the right to limit the power. I tried my best to let my brother trade with me, but I actually wanted to separate us."

"What are you doing when you separate?" Xuan Hao was a little puzzled.

"After we are two souls that do not affect each other, so even if you kill me, he will not lose any loss. Moreover, I can still weaken the power of the Black King." Lu Mingze stared at Xuan Hao's eyes, "So you understand now, right?"

"Uh... do you want to sacrifice yourself to the Black King, and then I will kill him!? Let Lu Mingfei take back that part of his right?"

"It's probably that's the logic." Lu Mingze shrugged, and seemed to be saying that nothing big of a deal.

Xuan Hao was stunned when he looked at Lu Mingze's expression that suddenly became a little sad, "You are such a good brother..."

"Aren't you a good brother too?" Lu Mingze tilted his head and looked at Xuan Hao. "I saw it when you tried every means to save Huiliyi. It was because of this that I finally decided to fully trust you to bring you here. It was not meaningful to just hand over the power to the Black King, because he does not have the power to match it, so he will not become stronger. I think if it were you, he would definitely kill him."

"Have you told Lu Mingfei about this plan? He would probably be moved to death." Xuan Hao frowned and looked at Lu Mingze in front of him. He felt that this little devil was not a real devil at all. He was just a poor child, thinking about his brother everywhere, and finally even wanted to memorize everything for his brother.

"Actually, I originally wanted to eat my brother..."

Lu Mingze's eyes suddenly became cold, "My brother and I were in charge of the power and power of this world respectively. He had power but did not have the power to use power. In the end, he would only be swallowed by the Black King. But I am different. As long as my brother is willing to hand over everything to me, I can try to take back everything from the Black King! But even that... I am not 100% sure."

"But! Your appearance made me change the plan," he stared at the man in front of him, as if making the final confirmation, "Your appearance made me full of confidence, because I saw that you are not the person who should exist in this world! Your appearance broke many original rules, and you are the breaker I need the most! It is much easier for people standing outside the chessboard to change the chess game than me, an insider..."

"According to the current plan, I can probably achieve a perfect ending, the price is just that I will risk being swallowed up." Lu Mingze said and laughed. He looked at Xuan Hao sincerely, "Are you willing to help me?"

Facing Lu Mingze's firm gaze, Xuan Hao was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Haha, there's nothing we don't want to, this is our deal."

"All you have to do is kill him, and I'm fully ready for the rest."
