Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 475 - 266 The Culprit Behind the Burning World, "Book of the Dead (New Edition)_2

Chapter 475: Chapter 266 The Culprit Behind the Burning World, "Book of the Dead (New Edition)_2

"Many years ago, the Lord of Shadow Soul City secretly used the Feline Sunflower for experiments, causing its reproduction speed to increase tenfold."

"He was the former Sin of Pride."

"The Grand Speaker of the Supreme Forest fought him once and was severely injured."

"Although he successfully stopped the Lord of Shadow Soul City, the Grand Speaker attempted to control the world-ending switch to help the Supreme Forest deter other nations."

"It was the Emperor who forced them to stop fighting."

Louis suddenly understood.

In the process of becoming the strongest in the continent, a crucial moment for the Emperor was when he defeated the world’s two strongest Demigods to safeguard the imperial interests of the Enoak Desert.

Exactly, they were the Lord of Shadow Soul City and the Elf Grand Speaker.

He just hadn’t expected there to be more to the story, even relating to apocalyptic prophecies.

"I won’t mention the Fourth Calamity."

"The focus is on the Fifth Calamity, which you should have encountered."

Rudelson said this.

Louis hurriedly interrupted his dialogue:

"What do you mean by ’no need to mention’?"

Rudelson awkwardly scratched his head and said:

"Because I am the Fourth Calamity."

Louis was dumbfounded.

"Is your Wave of the Living Dead that powerful? Can it really be considered a world-ending disaster?"

Honestly, the destructive power of the Wave of the Living Dead is considerable, but when facing the world’s elite forces, it doesn’t work as effectively.

Such a method, which once causing damage is nearly impossible to conceal, would not allow Rudelson to develop to his peak.

It would inevitably be intercepted by various forces just as it begins to rise.

But the one who decapitated him was the Emperor.

Rudelson shook his head and said:

"My threat isn’t from the Wave of the Living Dead, nor even from me."

He said with a smile:

"Haven’t you figured it out yet? The disaster I represent is the New Book of the Dead and the dark side of the Love God."

"The reversal of life and death will undoubtedly disrupt the balance of the world."

"And if the dark side of the Love God is born as Lust hoped, the distorted teachings would cause permanent damage to society."

After thinking for a moment, Louis said:

"Your New Book of the Dead indeed caused a lot of trouble. If it were to be distributed to the world, chaos would truly ensue."

"But the biggest influence of the dark side of the Love God is to split off an Evil God, and it’s likely the weakest type."

"Deities cannot descend to the world; the destruction they can cause should be relatively limited."

Rudelson shook his head and said:

"The dangers of a god are never in that aspect."

"Do you know why Jianqi is considered the most dangerous among the Four Gods?"

Louis shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Rudelson said:

"Jianqi’s doctrine makes the beautiful ugly, the strong into puppets, comrades in arms hate each other, and blood brothers hold eternal grudges."

"That fundamentally shakes the roots of order."

"From his birth, this subtle pollution has increased the outbreak frequency of riots on the continent severalfold."

"The number of deaths is immeasurable, further expanding Jianqi’s Divine Power."

"If unchecked, a more powerful Jianqi would only invest more power in creating conspiracies."

"And then, the frequency of riots will overall increase, eventually plunging the entire world into chaos."

Louis got goosebumps as he listened.

Looking at it this way, the dangers of Jianqi are truly terrifying.

Wait, if that’s the case, wouldn’t the influence of the dark side of the Love God be...

Rudelson calmly said:

"It looks like you’ve already guessed it. Lust originally intended to guide the development of the dark side of the Love God towards indulgence in desire, not in true love."

"Even the dark side of the Love God, weakened by Xilin and me, has since its birth brought unimaginable impact on the marriage system."

"Love or not, doesn’t matter, as long as there’s pleasure first."

"Betrayal can be forgiven, shamelessness is also reasonable."

"Deep affection becomes simping, genders become increasingly opposed, and the beautiful longing for marriage and a partner gradually diminishes."

"The ultimate result is..."

"A decline in the birthrate worldwide."

Rudelson gave a sarcastic smile:

"This kind of imperceptible influence is not easily detected."

"The human mind cannot withstand temptation, but the original idea of the dark side of the Love God will exacerbate the degradation of social marriage views."

"It might even give some people an excuse to shirk responsibility."

"The Love God is also the god of fertility."

"If Lust’s operations succeed, within 100 years, the continent’s population could decrease by tens of billions."

"...Because he is an Evil God spreading madly under the guise of the Love God’s legitimate path."

"Such an operation leading to ethnic extinction is more dreadful than large-scale wars."

"Ultimately, this power will feedback to Lust, and Lust’s minions will spread across the continent, keeping everyone on high alert."

Louis’s mind buzzed.

Mad King, did you not copy this doctrine from some small round object?

Throwing the dark side of the Love God there might make it swell into a powerful Divine Power in no time?

Okay, he admits it, Rudelson and Xilin together indeed have the qualifications to bear a world-ending disaster.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"The Fifth Calamity, wouldn’t that be the dark shadow diabolos of the Shadow Country?"

Rudelson said:

"You’re quite smart, you guessed right."

Louis said nothing.

This conclusion seemed entirely reasonable to him.

The kind of battle that requires the Emperor to stand up and go to other countries’ lands to fight isn’t something he can currently imagine.

"The Sixth Calamity, you should know, the Four Gods’ chosen, the Demon King of the Underground City, is now in a barely controllable state."

"If he truly goes completely mad, that’s trouble."

Louis asked, "What’s his current situation?"

Rudelson said:

"That guy, although laden with guilt, hasn’t completely gone insane while bearing the infusion of the Four Gods’ pollution."

"He still retains some rationale, which makes him less dangerous."

"Even under normal circumstances, the Emperor can easily suppress him."

"But that’s in his state of seeking someone to grant him rest."

"If he truly goes completely mad, you’ll need to consider what it means to have the Four Gods fighting on his behalf."

Louis took a deep breath, having some expectations of this.

The monsters swarming from the Underground City, with the Demon King commanding them, have brought massive devastation to the world in every timeline.

This is even with his utmost efforts to prevent it.

"What about the last calamity?"

Louis curiously asked.

Rudelson honestly said, "I don’t know."

"Don’t know?"

"Yes, Hero Max couldn’t fully see the Seventh Calamity’s form when peering into the future."

"Why?"

"Don’t know, but he clearly stated seeing a figure with succubus blood and the body of a curse dragon block the Seventh Calamity at the end of time."

His gaze turned to Louis.

Louis only felt his scalp tingling.

"Why are you looking at me? I don’t have such capability."

Rudelson shook his head and said:

"Don’t worry, no one will force you to do something you don’t wish to do."

"The Emperor asked me to tell you to follow your heart, for it will guide you on this path."

He extended his hand to Louis:

"Alright, that’s all for now. Please accept this gift."

He placed a ball of light in Louis’s hand.

Louis curiously asked:

"What is this?"

Rudelson said: "A side-effect-free version of the Book of the Dead (New Edition)."

"I approached it from a different angle after realizing I couldn’t fully eradicate it."

Louis became alert:

"Are you joking?"

"I’m going to transform this blessing into the ’Shadow Monarch’s Blessing’, then make the pinnacle of this path a reversal of life and death."
