Volume 1 Chapter 623

Chapter 623: Lolth From One Hundred Thousand Years Ago

The silk scroll didn’t have any written words, or rather… the content on it was clearly not "written" down.

Instead, it was an image formed by magic.

This was indeed quite rare—after all, this was a fallen Divine Kingdom.

In other words, this scene had existed for… at least tens of thousands of years.

However, considering Kanor’s wide knowledge as Lolth’s disciple, the fact that a simple picture made of magic had lasted for tens of thousands of years did not evoke such feelings in her.

The little girl’s personality was also quite calm.

The focus was on the content of the picture.

It showed a woman in a red dress, standing on a high platform, guiding many little people of different shapes and from different races, as they built a huge palace.

On the platform, magic had gathered into patterns like a magic circle. Kanor examined it closely and found that even she could not figure out its purpose at first.

However, these were not the main points.

The focus was…

The face of the woman in the red dress, clearly visible, was that of her beloved master.

Though there were only a few strokes, they clearly outlined Lolth’s lazy yet beautiful features.

However, her demeanor seemed to have a touch more pride than the Lolth of today.

"Master Lolth, what is happening?"

Kanor rubbed her eyes.

At first, she almost mistook the woman in the painting for Lolth because she thought it had a special spell, like revealing the person’s deepest respect for someone.

But, in reality, that was not the case.

The portrait showed the woman’s face without any decoration or alteration; it simply… painted Lolth’s face.

And Kanor instinctively believed that this could not be one of Master Lolth’s ancestors.

Even though her expression and temperament weren’t quite the same, this was definitely a painting of Master Lolth herself.

She looked at the Crown of the Forgotten in her hands.

"What is going on?"

Kanor’s voice was unusually eager.

"Oh, the Final Trial… I can’t tell you too much," the Crown of the Forgotten clearly misunderstood what Kanor wanted to ask, "Even though I know, and you could kill me, I have my pride. I won’t tell you that this trial is meant to test the heir’s character…"

"Shut up, you fool," Kanor said, lifting the Crown of the Forgotten and aiming it at the painting. "I didn’t ask about the content of this trial… Why is there such a silk painting here?"

Kanor said sharply.

At first, she had only come here to "dance on the edge of a knife" against the dark god. In short, even though this place was dangerous for Kanor, it still felt more like an "exciting game."

Because she did not care about any of this… not even the power that could tempt the dark god.

But now, everything was different!

The mystery of Master Lolth’s past lay before her.

She could no longer stay calm.

It wasn’t because she wanted to know about Master Lolth’s past so much…

But everything felt so arranged, it was eerie!

There was indeed some "fated" connection between her and Master Lolth.

But, but…

Why was it happening now!

The Forgetful Crown felt the girl’s anger, and its noisy Item Spirit began to feel fear.

"This… I only know it was personally painted by the Lord. It shows the process of building the Divine Kingdom from back then… The woman in the picture is the Lord’s benefactor and friend, as well as my ‘designer’," said the Forgetful Crown without holding back, "If you pour your mental power and magic into it, you will see everything that happened back then and be able to make a ‘choice’… Your ‘choice’ will determine whether you can inherit this Divine Kingdom."

As it said this, Kanor let out a long sigh.

"I understand now."

Saying this, she poured her magic into the silk painting.

Then…

Kanor opened her eyes and found herself at the construction site of the "Divine Kingdom"!

"Pick up the pace, or when the End of Days comes, we’ll all die!"

"The construction of the power supply facilities must take priority—Navigator, go test the compatibility again!"

"Has the material for the core Divine Artifact been completed? Good, then let’s create the prototype first!"

The tall beings swiftly carried huge magical materials, while a girl in a white robe waved a magic wand to create runes, shining brightly as she flew around, giving energy to the magical materials and magic circles…

The woman in red at the top of the tower lost all her proud and noble appearance; she held a big white megaphone, wore a "safety first" construction helmet, waved a small flag, and kept shouting.

"The rune circle in District Eighteen is crooked! Adjust it! Hurry and adjust it!"

"The Insaesya tribe is pulling out of District Six! There will be a magical shock!"

Although it looked quite ungraceful, Kanor was once again certain of one thing…

"This really is… the teacher from ten thousand years ago, no, a hundred thousand years ago…"

Meanwhile, a hundred thousand years later, at this very moment, Lolth was sitting on a small stool at the base of the temple, munching on spiced melon seeds.

In front of her, gray necromantic energy and black Ultimate Power intertwined and separated. The two avatars of the gods had long become invisible to maximize their control over the divine power.

This was a clash of divine powers — a collision of rules. Even in another Divine Kingdom, both beings were careful, and every second saw countless rules being born and dropped.

The two extremely cruel forces of "Erosion" and "End" were melting into each other. Any deity, even from the Holy Domain, stepping inside would be crushed to dust in a second, half turned into undead power through erosion, and the other half crystallized by Ultimate Power.

"Guest, who do you think will win?"

A large head of the bony giant beast quietly moved over to look at Lolth and asked.

"You got better so quickly? I thought you were really gone!"

Lolth looked at the bony giant beast with a surprised expression.

Another head of the bony giant beast moved closer as it showed an embarrassed smile.

"After all, my master’s authority is ‘Death.’ In the Divine Kingdom, I’m actually quite… hard to kill. So, between these two powerful invaders, which one is stronger?"

"The End," Lolth said without hesitation. "The gap between deities is bigger than I imagined… I realized this after they started fighting. As evil gods, The End is at least two levels stronger than the Revival. Even the lowest of hell’s creatures are not as strong as her… And this undead queen is about the same as the Revival."

"But… it’s hard to say who will win."
