MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1402 - 377: An Unspeakable Law

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong, who was cultivating the Golden Invincible Sword Way, dismissed the sword condensed by his Divine Power with a wave of his hand and smiled, "I suppose the Kai Family Master has already confirmed the death of Nelothus, right?"

"The Divine King is dead. Who exactly did it?" This generation’s Kai Family Master, though not someone who followed the Titan God King since the Ancient Heavenly Realm, held a deep, intrinsic respect for the Divine King. The fall of the Divine King meant a collapse for the Titan Clan, and more so, it was the Titan Six Clans that themselves buried this sky. Now a second sky has fallen, leaving the Kai Family Master in complete panic.

For they knew, once the Dark Continent detached from the Endless Void, they would face an incredibly powerful enemy, the Main God!

The Twelve Main Gods, who once annihilated the most powerful state, Da Qin, that the Titans established, even the Titan God King had to either evade or retreat from battle back then. Now that the Divine King is dead, who can offer them protection?

At the thought of this, the excitement the Kai Family Master had at the prospect of unifying the Dark Continent was instantly extinguished, forcing them to consider the future of the Titan Clan.

This change, one could say, is like falling from a furnace into an icy pit, an experience of two extreme emotions.

Nevertheless, the Kai Family Master accepted it and, in order to find out more, chose to negotiate with Lu Hong.

"I have already ordered Kaisi to stop attacking Four Waters Pass and to cease all military actions of the Kai Family against the Dark Continent alliance. This is my sincerity; I wonder if Emperor Lu can afford the same respect to our Kai Family."

Hearing this, Lu Hong raised an eyebrow. Was there more than just requesting Kaisi to halt the attack on Four Waters Pass, including a pause on other military maneuvers?

It seems this Kai Family is playing tricks behind their backs!

Of course, Lu Hong quickly figured out these tactics; it was nothing more than bypassing Four Waters Pass to directly dispatch large Titan armies to destroy the indigenous forces in the Twelve Domains of the Dark Continent. This would encircle the alliance forces in Four Waters Pass, cutting off all supplies, and within a few months, the citizens of Four Waters Pass would start to rebel. When that time comes, the Kai Family would coordinate from inside and outside, and Four Waters Pass would inevitably fall.

However, these are no longer Lu Hong’s concerns.

He clapped his hands and laughed, "Kai Family Master, what impressive tactics! Even the alliance’s scouts detected nothing."

Indeed, the Kai Family’s methods were surprising. Given the Titans’ colossal size and their marching in groups, once they began to run, within tens of miles, one would sense the earth shaking. Such enormous movements somehow escaped the attention of the alliance’s scouts, showcasing some truly remarkable methods.

"Enough, what I want to hear isn’t this."

The Kai Family Master was evidently still brooding over Nelothus’s death.

Lu Hong shrugged, "I’ve said before, Nelothus was killed by the twelve Main Gods controlled by the Taichu Evil Thought. However, Nelothus also successfully severely injured the Taichu Evil Thought. For it to recover, it will take between a hundred to a thousand years, and this time is our last chance."

"Controlled the twelve Main Gods?" The Kai Family Master’s pupils were indifferent, calmly watching Lu Hong, "You’re joking with me."

Not to mention the Kai Family Master didn’t believe it, even Lu Hong found it hard to trust despite having only heard such rumors. However, since it was the God of Space and Time who explained it to him, it was unlikely to be false.

"I know you might have trouble believing it, but it’s true. The twelve Main Gods were created by the Titan God King and didn’t originally hold much malice towards the Titans. They just wanted to live well. But during ancient times, they were influenced by the Taichu Evil Thought. The battle in the Celestial Realm that led to the Titans’ demise was orchestrated by the Taichu Evil Thought behind the scenes. It restricted the Titan God King, reclaimed their power, and the Law Authority, causing all Eight Great Titan Gods’ strength to wane, stripping them of the ability to counter the twelve Main Gods. Thus, avoidance of battle was the only option. The real reason for the Titan Empire Da Qin’s fall was the Taichu Evil Thought’s harvesting of the Titan Clan."

"Then why does the Taichu Evil Thought want to kill us?" questioned the Kai Family Master, apparently starting to believe Lu Hong’s words since dismissing them meant having no further inquiries.

Whether or not the matter was true, Lu Hong might be the only one across the Dark Continent who could provide an explanation to the Kai Family Master.

Therefore, regardless of the truth, the need for a complete storyline from Lu Hong trumped discerning its veracity; any logical holes would naturally unravel the tale.

Next, Lu Hong recounted everything the God of Space and Time had told him, verbatim, to the Kai Family Master.

A flood of ancient secrets left the Kai Family Master somewhat bewildered. After sitting down and rethinking the events, he questioned Lu Hong, "So, you’re saying that the twelve Main Gods who destroyed our Titan Empire aren’t our true enemies, and the real adversary is the Taichu Evil Thought?"

"Basically, that’s it. The Taichu Evil Thought wants to kill all living beings in this world, reclaim the Taichu Essence Blood and fortunes, and revive Taichu. I know this sounds hard to accept at first, but in most storybooks, there’s always a big boss in the end. It can’t be helped; it’s a trope."

To this, the Kai Family Master nodded in agreement, "Besides, you also said that to defeat the Taichu Evil Thought, relying solely on the laws and power systems of this world won’t suffice. We must rely on laws beyond this world’s bounds, and you say our Kai Family has someone who has comprehended such a law?"

"At least, that’s the information I received. I’m not sure if the Kai Family Master knows of such a person?"

Upon hearing Lu Hong’s confirmation, the Kai Family Master’s expression turned strange, seemingly wanting to speak yet hesitating.

Seeing the Kai Family Master looking troubled, Lu Hong, puzzled, asked, "What? Is there something unusual about this person?"

Hearing this, the Kai Family Master sighed, "Never mind, just come with me!"

With that, the Kai Family Master led Lu Hong out of the soft detention chambers, leaving the Imperial City, and after seven days, they arrived at the Kai Family’s ancestral home.

Within the Kai Family’s ancestral home, covering a thousand miles, lay a forbidden area fortified with countless chains. Although no signs were posted, it was clear that entry was not desired.

"Kai Family Master, this...?"

Over seven days, Lu Hong gradually became familiar with the Kai Family Master. Their speech had lost some formality and gained a sense of camaraderie.

After all, with a common enemy now, naturally, they could consider themselves allies. Being brothers, there’s no need to be strangers.

The Kai Family Master awkwardly coughed twice and said, "You go in yourself; I won’t go in. Oh, here’s the Family Head Token. Show it to the person living inside, and they’ll absolutely not give you any trouble; they will heed your words."

"Wait, Kai Family Master, I have a feeling you’re setting me up. Are you sure the person inside isn’t insane?" Lu Hong asked again, having posed this question numerous times before, only to receive awkward denials from the Kai Family Master.

Leaving Lu Hong bewildered, in the end, curiosity outmatched reason. After confirming multiple times with the Kai Family Master that there was no danger to his life, Lu Hong carried the golden Family Head Token, immensely larger than himself, and crossed the chain fence, entering the Ten Mile Pit.

And upon his entry, Lu Hong felt a long-lost, very long-lost sensation... his stomach hurt.

Dammit, I’m already a god, far from a mortal’s digestive system of grains, yet why does my stomach hurt?

This is definitely problematic!

Initially suspecting the surrounding air might have toxins, a closer inspection proved the air, aside from a faint foul smell, was indeed unremarkable.

Hold on... foul smell?

With doubt, Lu Hong continued deeper.

As he pressed on, the stench grew more potent, and Lu Hong was horrified to see piles of... stuff of various sizes scattered on the ground...

What kind of hellish place is this?

Meanwhile, the stomach pain intensified, with an impending urge for expulsion.

Luckily, Lu Hong managed to suppress it.
