Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

Facing Xavier's praise, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said nothing.

Lu Ming knew clearly that this fight seemed like a draw, but in fact, as a god-level warrior, Xavier might have taken the venue into consideration and taken Lu Ming's sanctuary level into consideration, and did not even use the God's Rule Domain.

However, in this case, as a god-level strongman, Xavier's mental power and control over magical elements are by no means something that an ordinary Sanctuary strongman can defeat.

Therefore, it was extremely rare for Lu Ming to be able to tie with him without using Lu Tuntian, and it was enough to be proud of.

Even though Xavier seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very shocked by Lu Ming's strength.

He is so powerful now that he is still at the Sanctuary level. If he becomes a God-level powerhouse, I guess I will be a little bit afraid of him!

Just like that, after this fight, Xavier completely treated Lu Ming as a strong man of the same level.

At the same time, he believed that making Lu Ming the third-ranked figure in the assassin organization was one of the most clear decisions.

So with Xavier's warm hospitality, Lu Ming stayed at the headquarters for a few days.

During these few days, Xavier generously taught Lu Ming some of his insights on how to become a god, as well as some of the experiences and insights of some god-level powerhouses.

Although Xavier is a dark god and Lu Ming possesses the godhood of the undead, they have some similarities in some aspects, which has benefited Lu Ming a lot.

Some things that I didn't understand suddenly became clear.

This made Lu Ming feel that this trip was worthwhile.

Xavier was also amazed at Lu Ming's understanding and talent.

He believed that once Lu Ming broke through to the god level, he would definitely surpass himself and reach unimaginable heights.

Therefore, Xavier decided to find a way to maintain a closer relationship with Lu Ming.

……

When the time was almost up, Lu Ming and Xavier said goodbye, left the ice field, and came to the Frost Eye town again.

There, they returned to the bustling Sunset City through the teleportation array.

However, as soon as he arrived, Lu Ming sensed an unusual aura - a strong aura of fallen creatures lingering in a mountain range outside the city.

This aura came from the Sanctuary-level Fallen Knight whom he had met in a brief confrontation before.

Perhaps because he was worried about being discovered by the Church of Light or other racial forces, or because he was concerned about the powerful magic array surrounding Sunset City, this fallen knight who was so arrogant and domineering in the outside world was extremely cautious outside Sunset City and only dared to lurk far away.

"It seems like this guy is coming for me..." Lu Ming used his spiritual sense to observe carefully, thinking deeply.

In order to find out the purpose of the Fallen Knight, Lu Ming used the teleportation technique, directly crossed the void, and appeared silently beside the Fallen Knight.

The sudden appearance startled the Fallen Knight at first, but when he saw that it was Lu Ming, a look of joy appeared on his face.

However, when his eyes fell on the aura of a late Saint Realm magician emanating from Lu Ming, his shock was beyond words.

After all, just over a month ago, Lu Ming's strength was far from reaching such a level.

"Sir Lu Ming." The Fallen Knight greeted him warmly. His voice was a little hoarse, but he tried his best to remain polite.

Lu Ming nodded, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone, and said straight to the point, "Why did you come to see me this time?"

The Fallen Knight bowed slightly, his attitude quite respectful: "Sir, I am here on behalf of the Dark Council, hoping to discuss an important cooperation with you."

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

The Fallen Knight took a deep breath and seemed to be organizing his words: "Deep underground, we found an ancient and mysterious area. It seems that there is a force of the origin of the world that has existed since the birth of the magic continent."

"However, this area is extremely dangerous, and the several Saint-level experts we sent out have not been able to return safely."

"The origin of the world?" Lu Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes kept flashing.

Because Lu Ming knew something about the origin of the world.

It is the most powerful and primitive force in the world, more precious than innate power.

In order to restore his cultivation as the Demon Emperor as soon as possible, Lu Tuntian is planning to devour the original power of the world in the alien space.

Unexpectedly, in the Magic Continent, the Dark Council actually discovered some clues about the origin of the world. This was a huge surprise for Lu Ming!

If you can obtain some of the origin of the world and refine it, you will get unimaginable benefits.

Having said that, Lu Ming knew very well that things were not simple.

Since the Dark Council found me and did not choose to keep it all to themselves, I am afraid that it must be extremely dangerous.

So Lu Ming suppressed his excitement and asked calmly, "Why did you choose me to cooperate with you?"

The Fallen Knight said frankly, "Because you have inherited the Godhead of the Undead, you are half ours." "Some time ago, you were able to kill six powerful men from the Holy Land of the Church of Light by yourself, which is enough to show that your strength is extraordinary."

"We believe that you may be the only one who can successfully explore and bring back that power."

"Besides, you, like us fallen creatures, are classified as aliens by the Church of Light, so we hope to join forces with you."

"If we can obtain that ball of the world's original power, we will become even stronger, and then we can fight against the Church of Light together."

Lu Ming was silent for a moment, weighing the conditions for cooperation proposed by the Fallen Knight. He knew that the temptation of the world's origin power was great, but the dangers were also not to be underestimated. He looked up at the Fallen Knight, his eyes revealing the seriousness of careful consideration.

"If we cooperate, how are we going to divide this world's original power?" Lu Ming went straight to the point, with a firmness in his tone that could not be ignored.

The Fallen Knight seemed to have been prepared for this question. His answer was both frank and cautious. "This ball of world origin power was discovered by our Dark Council, but if you are willing to join us, we are willing to give you one-third of the share. This is a preliminary estimate based on your strength and contribution."

He paused and added, "Of course, if your contribution is huge during the operation, we will adjust the distribution ratio accordingly based on the actual situation to ensure that your efforts are reasonably rewarded."

The Fallen Knight said sincerely, "Of course, all this is based on the premise that our action can be successful. Otherwise, if the action fails, all discussions will be in vain."

After hearing this, Lu Ming had an idea in mind.

He understood that the basis of any cooperation was mutual benefit, and that the Fallen Knight's proposal seemed fair, but it also required him to play a key role in the operation.

He knew very well that exploring unknown areas was always full of variables and crises.

If it were that simple, the Dark Council wouldn't have found me only now. They would have taken it all for themselves long ago.

"I will consider your proposal," Lu Ming finally said, his voice steady and resolute, "but before I make a decision, I need more information, such as the specific situation of the area and what problems the explorers you sent out earlier encountered."

The Fallen Knight nodded, showing his understanding. "Of course, we are willing to provide all the information we know to help you make an informed decision. We will also prepare detailed information, which will be immediately available once you decide to cooperate."
