Casting spells

Just as the internal conflicts among Darent's ancestors became more and more intense, the god who poured his own blood into the lake finally appeared.

He not only taught the knowledge of the second, third, and fourth generation Darent ancestors, but also taught the power called "Shadow".

With hundreds of years of accumulation, these clever descendants finally overthrew the simple and crude rule of the first generation of beasts, and began to establish an era dominated by theocracy.

And the god who had planned for hundreds of years became the object of worship of the entire new race and civilization.

As for what happened next, the most interesting scene in the history of Darente civilization appeared.

These Darente ancestors who mastered the power called "Shadow" did not worship at the feet of the gods and became the most loyal believers of the gods like most civilizations. Instead, they began to study the potential of the shadows in depth and created A series of huge systems based on shadow energy.

When the development reached its peak, religious leaders and political leaders finally took a step across the red line.

He asked that god to share his secrets and authority, and make himself an immortal god.

You don't need to ask, but this request instantly sparked the wrath of the gods.

Immediately afterwards, the war between gods and mortals began.

No negotiation!

No compromises!

Some are just the collision of blood and fire!

The cruelty of this war was the worst even in the bloody history of the Darente.

In the end, less than one-twentieth of the entire civilization survived, and began to rebuild its former glory on the ruins.

After paying such a huge and heavy price, they not only succeeded in pulling the god from the throne, but also discovered that their own birth was actually a conspiracy planned by the other party for thousands of years.

God used his own blood to firmly bind the ancestors of the Darente with the shadow.

So as long as there is one Darente using shadow energy, the god will never really die, and as the number of users increases, he will be resurrected one day.

This also means that the survivors must make a choice.

Either abandon the existing power and find another power to replace it, or continue to use the shadow energy to become stronger before the god is resurrected, and then fight a bloody battle.

You don't need to ask, but the second option is a bit unreliable in any way.

Therefore, the survivors finally chose the first option. They abandoned the shadow energy and embraced the power called magic again.

And in the process, they continued to give full play to their inherent advantages, constantly diluting their original blood, and finally formed a modern era of glorious magic civilization.

But what's interesting is that from the ability shown by the member of the Shadow Guard, they obviously didn't completely give up the power of the shadow, but firmly limited it to the number of digits, supplemented by the latest research results.

"Interesting... The Shadow Guard is actually the dark past that the Darente deliberately concealed. They are afraid of such power and have to rely on it. Because only those who have experienced it will understand the power of shadow energy."

Luke casually threw the black slate recording history aside, his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

Undoubtedly, in his eyes, this god is an out-and-out genius, and the Darente created cannot be underestimated.

The former tried to create a race that was [-]% obedient to itself and had amazing potential from scratch, and then transformed the entire race into its own believers, and finally achieved external expansion and realized its own ambitions and aspirations.

The latter is also not to be outdone, not only successfully getting rid of the fate of being manipulated time and time again, but also gradually developing into an extremely powerful magic civilization,

The first thousand and 350 chapters to confirm with your own eyes

From the obscure and dark history of the Darente, for the first time, Luke felt the huge price that a civilization must pay to grow from nothing, from weak to strong, from being manipulated to regaining freedom.

Similarly, he also saw that behind that powerful civilization, there is actually an extremely inferior, cowardly and hypocritical essence hidden.

Especially the parliament as the supreme ruling class, in order to ensure that the god who created them could not be resurrected again, deliberately and secretly deleted part of the history, making it look very absurd, and finally made the Darente people who were born later forget themselves and their lives forever. The inherent shadow power, from the bottom of my heart, I believe that magic is the only one.

Only a very few high-level people know that the most powerful thing for the Darente is not magic at all, but the shadow power developed to the extreme.

And as the last guardian of the entire civilization, the Shadow Guard uses this kind of power.

"How about it, after reading the history recorded by the Darente, what do you gain?"

The boy did not know when he came to this underground building created by magic in the middle of the desert, with a relaxed and happy smile on his face.

You don't need to ask, he must have obtained a lot of useful information from the captives during these days, and he might have even uncovered some mysteries about the shadow energy.

"Not bad! But I have a small question, how do these guys ensure that the members of the Shadow Guard will obediently obey the orders of the parliament, instead of directly relying on the god who may be resurrected at any time, and then reproduce the shadow power of the theocratic era The glory?" Luke stroked his chin and asked a question that he hadn't figured out.

You must know that since he saw the performance of the former member of the shadow guard with his own eyes, he could clearly feel the potential dissatisfaction in the opponent's consciousness.

There is no doubt that these guys with great power are not willing to remain anonymous at all, they are probably forced.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer, because even I don't know what those sinister and cunning old guys are thinking. You have to understand that the Darente is not a centralized social structure, but as long as If it is strong enough to a certain level, it will definitely be invited to enter the Supreme Council and gain the right to decide the future direction of the entire civilization." The boy explained casually.

Perhaps on the entire Mocha planet, there is no second person who can silently observe every move of the Darente with a detached vision and the perspective of a bystander like him.

As the saying goes, "The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear." When a person fully adapts and integrates into the surrounding environment, he cannot really realize what the changes that he is accustomed to mean.

But if there is an outsider who breaks in, he will immediately feel these subtle changes, and then analyze and infer from another angle.

There is no doubt that the boy is this intruding outsider to Darente civilization.

Although many old foxes tried to instill some Darent people's unique outlook on life and values ​​from an early age, he was not affected in the slightest, and he never thought of abandoning himself and choosing to truly integrate into it.

Because it is the most stupid behavior to give up independent thinking and integrate into the group, there is no one.

In contrast, Luke's starting point is far from as high as his brother's, and he frowned and said to himself: "Using strength as an entry ticket to participate in the game of power, by attracting the vast majority of the strong in the ethnic group to maintain the rule Stability sounds good. No wonder in such a long history, the Darente have never had a civil strife or riot, and no one can threaten the absolute dominance of the parliament."

"Hahahaha! That's right! Since the era of theocracy, the Darente ruling class has been advocating the concept of absolute reason, which means that the more a life abandons emotional interference, the more advanced it can be. Evolution. So most Darentes like order and hate chaos. But they don't understand that emotion is actually one of the most important signs of higher life, whether it is happiness, sadness, anger, or the instinct of life Greed and desire. Alright, let’s stop talking about the Darente, and then I will share with you some interesting new discoveries..."

With the last word blurted out, the boy opened the metal box he had been holding.

moment!

The heart, made entirely of black unknown matter, was once again displayed.

It's just that it is different from last time, it no longer jumps, and it gives people a very dangerous and weird feeling.

"What did you find?" Luke's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"A trick similar to primitive witchcraft. Do you remember the scene after the black matter was dispelled last time?" The boy asked with a half-smile.

Luke nodded without thinking: "Of course! There's nothing in there, it's empty."

"No! It's not empty, but the heart was dug out and placed in another place, a place where you can escape death - the dark lake. In other words, the body of each member of the Black Guard has never left The place where they were born. And the black shadows we see are just the projections of their consciousness, a clone made of energy." While playing with the black heart, the boy shared his research results with great interest.

"Clone? So, they already know the whole process?" Luke immediately felt a strong sense of crisis when he heard the news.

After all, the reason why the two of them could successfully deal with a powerful enemy was based on the asymmetry of intelligence.
