Chapter 1409 - Invasion (1/2)

After examining the piece of the skull for a while, Lin Yun put on a mysterious smile.

The King of Nightmares’ body was very huge, but his skull was only the size of a baby’s. He was also the only ghost who had bones.

This piece of the skull was the one from the back of the skull. It was often neglected.

In terms of the power they contained, the brow ridge was the best one, the piece of the skull in the center was the second-best, and the back piece was the worst one…

Lilith obviously played a trick on him. She had given her the bone that contained the least power…

But Lin Yun smiled because this piece of the bone was the most suitable as the key to the Kingdom of Nightmares. It would essentially open the back door of the Kingdom of Nightmares. If he had the brow ridge, he would have to go through the front door, which could be very dangerous.

But he could try the back door. Although it was also dangerous, it was not entirely hopeless.

He had to rescue Agalon. Even though Agalon surely wouldn’t perish in the Kingdom of Nightmares, Gandaph and the other deans of the Starry Sky College might. If they were unlucky, they might truly die in the Kingdom of Nightmares if they stayed there too long.

Also, all the six Saint Alchemists were required to set up the Hexagonal Array. He had to go to the Kingdom of Nightmares, but only after he made necessary preparations. He couldn’t be more cautious.

After completing the deal, Lin Yun left the auction house with what he got. He had thought of making another deal with Lilith by asking her to capture a vampire ancestor for him. However, he knew that Lilith wouldn’t accept such a deal.

That would cause a war, and wouldn’t be accepted as a deal, because the loss would outweigh the gains. More importantly, Lilith didn’t seem to know that the King of Nightmares’ skull was the key to escape from the Kingdom of Nightmares.

She thought he was only trying to enter the Kingdom of Nightmares with the King of Nightmares’ skull and soul pieces. So, he couldn’t exchange any more information with her.

If he were to exchange more information with her, he would be essentially telling her the way to escape from the Kingdom of Nightmares. Even if Lilith didn’t realize it, the man known as the Lord of Greed would surely figure it out.

The way to escape from the Kingdom of Nightmares and its key were too valuable. More importantly, Lin Yun speculated that the Lord of Greed, whose appearance nobody knew, was likely a reborn god, but he couldn’t have been the King of Nightmares or his nemesis.

Most likely, he was on the King of Nightmares’ opposite side, but they had never fought. That was why he sold the King of Nightmares’ remains.

The Lord of Greed looked like a businessman, but if the stake was too tempting, it was very unlikely that he would do business nicely, as evident from his name…

Leaving the auction house, Lin Yun wandered around, and adopted more than 20 methods to get rid of possible followers. He then dug a pit somewhere, and escaped via the space gate.

He then entered the Natural Demiplane, and took out all the pieces he received.

Looking at the broken pieces in front of them, Lin Yun picked up two. The power of light arose in his hand, and the two pieces were connected to each other as if they had never been broken in the first place.

All the pieces were put together, and then glued by the power of light. They were reassembled into a round crystal plate. On the surface of the crystal plate, there were weird but simple runes. Every one of the runes was very simple, but when they were engraved and listed on the crystal plate, it contained more information than 100,000 law runes.

Lin Yun only read it for a couple of minutes when he felt that his head was swollen. Too much information had been contained on the plate for him to figure out.

It was very simple to fix the broken stone plate. All he needed was the power of light as a catalyst. Unfortunately, there were no creatures in the Plane of the Undead who could make use of the power of light and who had two connected pieces…

Nobody knew what the crystal plate meant…

As the crystal plate was restored, Lin Yun’s Book of Death automatically reappeared. The chains on the book crumbled, and the book was turned to a new blank page, into which the crystal plate slowly melted.

Instantly, a stream of information passed into Lin Yun’s head.

It was the Source Chapter, which contained the power of light!

Darkness was the beginning of everything. The world was founded in darkness. Life, however, came from light.

The core of the Plane of the Undead was darkness, which was why it was a heaven to all undead creatures. This was a land where the power of light was forbidden.

The other planes that contained the power of light would gradually give birth to vigorous lives.

The Source Chapter could not only help him understand the law of light, but also kept a record of sources of lives. The enormous information was the starting point of all lives.

Besides the power of light that the Source Chapter contained, it was an encyclopedia of the sources of all lives.

There was almost as much information as there was in the 108,000 true runes. Also, it was even more complicated and esoteric, and a lot of the information was interconnected. It was impossible to construe without background information.

Lin Yun understood. When he obtained the first piece, he had speculated that it belonged to the Source Chapter, a component of the Book of Death that was known as the most useless one. He didn’t expect it to be an encyclopedia. In a way, it might be the most powerful component, not because it was used for destruction and fight, but because it was the source of life.

That was incredible for every mage. It was possible for lives to be born in a Demiplane, even though the Demiplanes of most mages contained nothing but elemental lives.

But elemental lives were still lives. As soon as Lin Yun figured out the Source Chapter, it would be possible for his Demiplane to give birth to suitable lives. The elemental lives would surely become more powerful. At the very least, his elemental lives wouldn’t be the butlers of Demiplanes like those of other mages.

His Natural Demiplane was almost evolving into a real world. At least it contained almost everything expected of a real world. The only difference between the two was the degree of perfection.

However, no real lives had been born in the Natural Demiplane yet. There were insects and worms in the Natural Demiplane, but they were not intelligent, and couldn’t really help. Besides, they might not have been born in his Natural Demiplane.

Even the elemental lives hadn’t been born in the Demiplane yet. There was not even any sign of conception. Who knew when the elemental lives would be born?
