The two Lords looked at each other in fear. Their momentary relief was replaced by despair.
They had run like the wind and left the skull behind. How could they be pulled back in?
Their hearts almost jumped out of their throats. What they saw at that moment was imprinted in their minds for the rest of their lives.
The huge black skull was on a skeleton now. It was as tall as a mountain and towered over the two Lords. A glorious city appeared below it.
Towering stone walls, sturdy and ferocious arrow towers, and spacious streets. It wasn’t any less glorious than Canglan City.
The city was shrouded in a deathly glow. There was no sign of human habitation.
They felt uneasy. At the center of the city, a figure with a wolf head sat on the swamp throne. He held a black scepter and looked at them coldly.
The two Lords were frozen in fear.
“I was the Lord of the Death Swamp. Where did you come from? Who is the current owner of this swamp?” said a voice.
It was a different language.
The Lords were terrified. They couldn’t even breathe.
“Great Ruler, we came from Canglan City. The Death Swamp no longer has an owner,” said one of the Lords.
“I slept for so long… The Death Swamp doesn’t have a Lord?” said the mysterious figure. “Well… I have returned now. The Death Swamp will once again be under my rule!”

Canglan City.
The spacious hall was deathly silent.
Nami looked at the aging person in the wheelchair. She could sense his body dying. It was as though she was seeing the withering of a mighty tree.
Time was running out.
Bartos noticed Nami’s gaze on him. “Don’t be so sad, child. I can still hold on for another month.” He smiled at her.
“I’m very proud of you. Never forget that. Your arrangements have exceeded my expectations.”
“Teacher… we still have a chance,” said Nami.
“You know it as well as I do, child. It’s too late.” Bartos shook his head.
Nami was silent. Bartos looked out the window. He hoped to see the gods tremble in fear before he left this world for good.
The Crimson Moon would definitely overthrow the gods and shine some ray of hope in the decaying world.
“I passed on the message to Lord Su Wan,” said Nami. “She and her hero seemed to have imprisoned a god.”
Bartos’ eyes lit up in delight. “She’s really something, isn’t she?”
Nami didn’t say anything.

In the endless void, a divine war was breaking out.
Heimrigg, the King of Decay, attacked the God of Light.
The war between the gods meant that only one would be victorious. It was a fight to the death.
The victor would have new power and authority over all living beings, while the loser will fade into nothingness.
The God of Light used holy light to seal the crack in the void to prevent the abyssal creatures from invading his divine kingdom.
Rotten dragons, fallen angels, flesh titans, demons, and all kinds of decaying monsters pushed through the crack to wage a war on the God of Light.
The God of Light held a golden scepter in his hands and stared at the monsters trying to invade his kingdom. He was shocked and enraged.
“D*amn you, King of Decay! What have I ever done to you? Why are you invading my kingdom?” He couldn’t understand why the King of Decay was bent on destroying him. He hadn’t even left his divine kingdom for a long time. He couldn’t recall ever offending the King of Decay.
A terrifying crack had appeared above the divine kingdom.
“How dare you attack me?!” said the God of Light. “Why are you attacking me?”
The golden scepter in his hand emitted waves of divine power, effectively repairing the cracks above the divine kingdom and blocking the invasion of the rotten troops.
“Lowly insects, you dare to challenge me!” The King of Decay roared. “I’ll let you taste death and decay!”
The God of Light was confused. However, he knew that a full-blown war would cost him too much. Even the God of Light didn’t have the guts to face the King of Decay at his peak.
“King of Decay, I implore you. There must be a misunderstanding. Let’s stop here and clarify things first,” said the God of Light.
“You… You snatched away my power! You snatched it away right in front of me!” said the King of Decay..
