Dark Shadow Shrine

For three days, for three full days, almost every moment, Lei Wen had to endure the endless abuse or temptation from the ferryman.

"Isn't it the soul? This is a necessary fare."

"In and out, back and out? What do you mean?"

"Can you swim by yourself?"

"Why don't you learn from those shadow dragons and fly over by yourself."

Raven turned a deaf ear to these words. If it is so easy to fly over, then it is not Mask, but a shadow dragon who holds the priesthood of shadow in this world.

In the previous life, I didn't understand, couldn't bear the temptation of power, and wanted to bring down Tinos. After trying countless methods, I resigned to my fate.

If you admit it, you will become a slave to power.

In this life, Lei Wen has more confidence and more time to think and make prudent judgments.

A more important question is - what are shadows?

In order to obtain the original source, this problem absolutely cannot be avoided.

The ferryman in the sea of ​​shadows is definitely not a good thing. I didn't know it in the previous life. After thinking about it in this life, I think that the ferryman should belong to the kind of evil thoughts of losers who failed to pursue the original source.

Shadows are more manifested in the form of negative energy, death, resentment, ghosts, jealousy... all kinds of phenomena and emotions can be transformed into negative energy.

Lei Wenwen thought about whether transforming himself into the deepest shadow would allow him to merge with the sea of ​​shadows and pass directly there.

He thought about whether to turn himself into a ferryman, but he immediately vetoed this point.

The ferryman is destined to be a part-time job, and it is impossible to become a master. think about it. That guy parked his boat on the sea of ​​shadows, threatened and abused him for three days, but he never stepped ashore. If you think about it with your toes, you know that the restrictions on this product are definitely very large.

However, what will happen after waiting for three days?

Lei Wen calmed down and waited at the entrance of this original world that had almost no concept of space and time. Anyway, he is almost in the state of a soul now, and he doesn't need to eat or drink. can afford to wait.

Three days passed and nothing happened.

"Hahaha! Do you think a miracle will happen after three days? You think too much!" the ferryman sneered mercilessly.

Seven days passed and still nothing happened.

"It's been seven days, it's okay. I have plenty of time to spend with you. Let's see how long you can last?"

Twelve days passed. Still nothing happened.

"Idiot. Do you want to wait a full month and see? I'll see if your woman will run off with someone else after you have exhausted your 'existence' on the main plane."

In fact, the ferryman didn't scold so much until the third day, and more often he just looked at Lei Wen sullenly, the coldness on his face almost dripping ink.

Raven realized that his thinking had once again entered a misunderstanding.

Shadows are not fundamentally related to time.

What is it that produces the shadow?

right! Light! There are also obstacles that block the light.

Raven suddenly stood up, full of momentum. With enough energy, he shouted, "I say! Let there be light!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and nothing happened.

All it took was a crow flying through the air, croaking that Raven was a fool.

"Hehe!" The ferryman brilliantly expressed his greatest disdain for Lei Wen's foolish behavior.

Lei Wen slapped his forehead: I am an idiot, this is the source of shadow, not the source of light.

If you want to have light, you must not produce it yourself.

Then you can only borrow it.

Where can I borrow it?

Is there any place or situation in the world of Ultron that there is such a light that can produce strong shadows?

A crazy answer came to mind: the day when the current God of Dawn and powerful Lathander was born—the first Holy Day of Dawn.

I recalled the video of Losander introduced by the previous game company in my mind.

Losander was born in the dawn. Representing Dawn, he is the incarnation of Dawn. He is the symbol of 'beginning'.

Think of his friendly demeanor, think of his golden face. Thinking of his radiant presence...

Suddenly, behind Lei Wen, a sun rose slowly.

The light shone on Lei Wen's back, extending Lei Wen's figure infinitely, piercing straight to the entire sea of ​​shadows.

The next moment, the whole plane suddenly shook violently, as if an invisible giant hand pushed the whole plane violently, which shocked the ferryman.

At the same time, in the sun behind Lei Wen, countless mysterious divine scripts of the early years floated up. Those black divine scripts were inscribed on that glorious sun. The golden sun and the black divine scripts formed a A strange but harmonious contrast.

Law and mysterious aura interweave and intertwine on it, and the divine golden light emitted seems to be able to melt the entire sea of ​​shadows, and all the black sea water that touches the golden light disappears at once, as if transported to another world.

"Ah! Impossible!" The ferryman uttered a miserable scream.

Just when Lei Wen was stunned, the sea of ​​shadows at the end of his line of sight suddenly set off turbulent waves, even as if the whole sea was being poured into a funnel, the pouring sea water began to churn wildly, began to squeeze, and moved towards the last shadow in his line of sight. ——Raven's shadow huddled inside.

Before Lei Wen could recover, with the sound of splashing water, the entire Sea of ​​Shadows was instantly submerged in golden light, whether it was the black water, the ferryman, or the huge and gloomy sky opposite, All at once disappeared.

Everything disappeared without a trace, and finally there was only a golden day and a dark road left.

Lei Wen didn't seem to understand anything, and seemed to understand something,

He raised his feet and strode forward, the shadows were in front of him, and behind him, there was only monotonous gold.

How long have you been gone? Raven didn't know.

One minute?

One hour?

Or all day?

Anyway, when Raven came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to a world he was once familiar with—the original world of shadows.

Just like when he entered here in his previous life, apart from Lei Wen, there are countless shadow-type powerhouses here.

They come from all ages, all planes, in this place where time and space have lost their meaning. Excited to discover the treasures that belong only to him.

When I first came in, I simply felt that this place was no different from the things in the shadow plane. The same black mountains, black rivers, black everything.

Even if you search here for ten thousand years, you will not find any treasures or artifacts.

Because this is the source of shadow, the so-called treasure is only the source of shadow.

Those who can come here are all geniuses who meet once in a century or once in a thousand years. However, even a genius cannot understand the mysteries of this world at a glance. After all, not everyone is like Lei Wen, who has lived in two lives and knows the secrets here.

When you cross the sea of ​​shadows and enter here, you will start to consume your own 'existence'. The so-called existence is a person's contribution to the entire multiverse of Ultron World, leaving traces in the entire world. That is the time that person can stay in the world of shadow origin.

Once this time limit is exceeded, you will be stuck here forever, become a part of the source without realizing it, and become a strange existence that is always wandering in the source, unable to see any other existence, and only thinking about it . And all traces of his existence in the outside world will be completely swallowed by the source.

This is the ultimate paradise for those who are strong in the shadow system. Every mountain and river in this world can comprehend different and extremely powerful shadow laws.

Integrate these shadow laws into one's own soul and power, and then it becomes a unique shadow field.

Back then, Lei Wen spent a full day on a small mountain to understand the few shadow laws. Originally, Lei Wen wanted to get more, but after comprehending the law, the system reminded him that he only had half an hour to comprehend it, and he had to exit the world of shadow origin, otherwise he would be swallowed by the shadow origin.

In this life, Lei Wen looked at the system prompt and suddenly burst out laughing.

without it.

It turned out to be 3600 hours!

This has nothing to do with talent or ability. It is purely that the world's recognition of Lei Wen has reached a level that Lei Wen could not have imagined in his previous life. A height that one cannot even look up to, or even comprehend.

If it was the previous life, Lei Wen would definitely go crazy with joy.

Because the time in the source is static, even if it takes 10,000 years here, it is only a short moment to the outside world. The only thing Raven was consumed was the 12 days spent outside the Sea of ​​Shadows.

But now, Raven is worried that 3600 hours will not be enough.

Because there is a very special place in the shadow source - that is the only place in the source where there is light. There, the closer you are to the center of light, the faster the time you can stay in the source will be consumed.

I used to think that even if I comprehend a good law of shadows outside, I would benefit a lot. Because any comprehension can obtain a unique shadow spell, skill, or even domain-level law.

Now I'm wondering if the real source of shadow is in that damned place.

Lei Wen decided to go to death, oh no, it was an adventure.

Raven didn't know that his entry into the original world of shadows also caused an unexpected accident.

In the realm of the gods, a kingdom of gods that has shrunk a lot, Mask suddenly felt that it was almost unchanged forever, and a gap was opened in the well-defended shadow origin. Without any hesitation, Mask immediately sent out a battle avatar, almost following Raven's footsteps into the shadow source.

Lei Wen didn't even expect that there was another existence, playing the trick of praying mantis catching cicada and oriole behind. When Lei Wen passed a shadow mountain, there were a few shadow-type powerhouses who were delusional on the mountain. It was impossible for them, who had been swallowed by the shadow source, to notice Raven's existence.

However, a strong man dressed as an assassin waited for Lei Wen to pass by, his eyes suddenly burst into a fierce light, and his figure suddenly turned aside, turning into a lich holding a staff.

"Hehehe! Raven! I knew you would enter this shadow source sooner or later." (to be continued~^~)
