Chapter 218: Seeking Help From the Yellow-Clothed King!
Outside the Tower of Seals.
Brother Nonsense, Anran, and Jiang Chen emerged from the shadows.
Just as they were about to be in big trouble, Jiang Chen swiftly pulled them into the darkness.
Who would have thought that the Goblin clan had some pages left from the Book of the Dead Souls, and they even had three of them.
However, it seems that the other two pages have been lost.
The remaining page seems to be related to that Yellow-Clothed King.
Brother Nonsense turned to Jiang Chen and said, "It’s all your fault. We could have skipped the battle altogether."
Jiang Chen turned around and said, "Do you think that whatever is meant to happen will happen eventually, as plans are meant to unfold at a certain time?"
Brother Nonsense leaned against the wall and said, "So, what now? We didn’t even get any information from the Guardian or the teleportation array. Isn’t this trip a waste?"
Jiang Chen grinned at the comment and pulled out a dark piece of paper.
"It’s not exactly a waste."
Brother Nonsense looked surprised, "Did you snatch the Three Chapters?"
Jiang Chen glanced at him, "What Three Chapters? This is the Book of the Dead Souls!"
"I’ll find someone to decode it, and we’ll discuss it further on the forum later."
With that, Jiang Chen took a step and vanished into the shadows.
Brother Nonsense shook his head as he saw this happen, but then Anran suddenly tugged at his sleeve, "Master, we still haven’t gotten the Giant Bone Marrow."
By the way, Giant Bone Marrow…
"Did I promise to be your master?" Brother Nonsense said calmly.
Anran shook her head, "Is it not allowed?"
Brother Nonsense suddenly fell silent, this kid…
It seems like it’s not impossible either.
。。。
On the other end, where Guide Lu Qing is located.
When it comes to translating the Book of the Dead Souls, the quickest one is definitely not Zhaik, but a guide!
"Is it another page from the Book of the Dead Souls?"
Lu Qing took the torn page and read it carefully, saying, "Yellow-Clothed King, the former ruler… So that’s how it is."
Jiang Chen stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean by ‘So that’s how it is’? Please explain."
Lu Qing looked away and said, "The writing on here is not about summoning technique, but a way to borrow power."
"It seems like borrowing power from something in the void, but the person borrowing power also needs to pay a price."
"The method of borrowing power written here is to seek power from an Evil God named Yellow-Clothed King Hastar."
"The person borrowing power needs to give up some of their flesh or soul as payment, the more they give, the more they receive."
"However, this is not a summoning technique, this method written here cannot summon the Yellow-Clothed King, it’s just a way to transform oneself into one of its followers."
After hearing this account, Jiang Chen started to find an answer in his heart.
Firstly, regardless of how powerful or who the Yellow-Clothed King is, being a god, reaching the ninth rank is inevitable.
Since borrowing power from a being of the Ninth Order, even a tiny fraction of it would be quite a formidable force.
But it depends on how much one is willing to give.
Goblin High Priest Guland stated without hesitation that she was willing to sacrifice everything for the Goblin clan, which was quite terrifying.
If this power were given to her alone, it should be enough to allow an ordinary person to reach the Sixth or Seventh Order directly.
However, if it were distributed among all Goblins, it wouldn’t be much.
It is conservatively estimated that the High Priest is at least of the Third or Fourth Order.
This outcome is somewhat acceptable.
The question remains whether players can also borrow power in this manner.
"But there are risks of failure with this kind of borrowing," Lu Qing added.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask, "What happens if we fail?"
Lu Qing shrugged, "You should know, that’s an Evil God we’re talking about."
Jiang Chen nodded, starting to find the answer in his heart.
Unlike regular gods, if you ask a regular god for help, they probably won’t pay you any attention.
But with an Evil God, it’s different.
They are likely to help you, but they will definitely ask for something in return, even if the ritual fails, they will still collect their payment.
It could even get worse, like the Evil God ritual leading to possession.
Just like the story Jiang Chen heard from Satan on the negative first level before.
A small village was invaded by a hostile country, and the people in that village prayed together for the protection of the gods.
They hoped their god would protect them.
But…
Their god did not respond to them.
Even when they offered all their cattle and sheep as sacrifices, the god did not respond to them.
Feeling disheartened, the people abandoned their faith and turned to demons for help.
The demon responded to them.
And sent an envoy from hell, who killed all of the empire’s soldiers without mercy.
The villagers were overjoyed and offered the sacrifices intended for the god to the demon’s envoy instead.
They declared that they would no longer believe in the gods, but in the demons from now on!
The reason is simple, when they were in great danger, their god did not help them, but the devil did.
But the devil wanted more than just cows and sheep as payment.
Afterwards, the demons from hell directly slaughtered all the villagers in the village as payment for their help.
That’s the devil, and the Evil God is the same.
What’s even more ironic is that Satan himself told him about this matter.
"Alright, I’m going to find Xiao Ye, the copper coin is on the table."
。。。
Outside the tower, beyond the second layer of city walls.
Ye Qiu fenced off a piece of land and built a house on it by himself, and Jiang Chen didn’t know what had gotten into him.
Why do you have so much money?
Not only Ye Qiu, but after the end of the Rex Main Quest, many players who couldn’t buy land before started claiming land.
After all, Rex’s Main Quest is too rich.
Isn’t it a waste not to use this money to claim land?
Jiang Chen tried to push the door open, but his hand was bounced back, "What’s going on? They revoked my access rights?"
Jiang Chen sent several messages to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu didn’t reply.
This made Jiang Chen even more puzzled.
Could it be that this guy is sleeping here in broad daylight?
。。。
Really.
At this moment, Ye Qiu is lying on a flat bed, with a bright red candle lit beside his bed.
Ye Qiu is completely unaware of the outside world.
He has fallen into a deep sleep and entered a dream.
In the dream, he arrived at a huge black pillar.
All around were deep abysses and swirling black mist.
There were many pillars arranged in a circular arc around the pillar under Ye Qiu’s feet.
The pillars were adorned with many giant chains, all converging into the mist.
"You’ve come."
Ye Qiu looked up at the sky and saw two huge suns…
No, those don’t seem to be suns, but a pair of eyes!
