This is also the limit of what Yiwen can do. He can capture the breath of nightmares, but it does not mean that he can predict the future. He can only destroy the fear beasts that have appeared for a long time, and cannot prevent the birth of fear beasts in advance.

Also thanks to the evil disaster, the dark energy accumulated by Yiwen through collecting the breath of nightmares has also reached an astonishing value.

This value is several times higher than the critical point, and like light energy, it has reached the level that should have been broken through but has not.The development of the matter was as he expected. After the balance of light and darkness, the body finally stopped suffering from disease-it seems that when continuing to study the two holy scriptures in the future, it is necessary to strictly maintain a balanced progress.

Due to its proximity to the desert, the nights in Memphis are particularly humid and cold.On weekdays, as long as the sun goes down, the residents of the city will close the gates, light the stove and sleep at home until dawn.

But they are still busy tonight. There are no people who participated in the battle. Most of them are cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield of the fortress.The climate close to the desert is cold at night and hot at day. These corpses are roasted by the sun during the day, which is likely to breed plague, so they can only be cleaned up as soon as possible at night.

The Menesian concept of treating the dead is similar to that when the Porcelain Kingdom was not influenced by Buddhism.They all regard death as life, and live as they did before death, so they still live after death, so the accompanying collections and tombs are indispensable.And they all pay attention to the integrity of the body, and believe that the body is the container of the soul-although the soul has gone to the underworld/Yin Mountain, it will come back one day.

Therefore, it is very important for them to piece together the bodies of their loved ones and bury them according to specific rituals.This is related to whether the deceased can get rid of the nuisance of demons and successfully reach the underworld to combine with the gods.

By the way, in the world view of the Menesians, they will enter a land of the underworld called Duot after they die.Only the holy river in the world can transcend the isolation of life and death, enter the underworld, and reach this plain surrounded by mountains.The vast sandy land on both sides of the river is dotted with some small lakes, and the mounds on the sandy land rise and fall one after another.In terms of landform, this place can be regarded as a replica of the human world, with the plains and deserts familiar to the Menesians, but it is full of dangers for the souls who are new to this place.

The soul will be hindered by demons along the way, they are called "evil obstacles from the abyss".On some malicious lakes and mounds, demons will use sticks, spears, nets and even mousetraps to catch and kill the souls. Only knowing the real name of the demons can defeat them. Utter map and spells to overcome disasters.

Knowing that they are prepared, the Menesians will make full preparations for their loved ones before going on the road.Typically, not only the scarab amulet was included in the burial, but also a large number of spells, lists of god names, and prayers such as "Guide to how not to rot in the underground world", "Suggestions for servitude to avoid the underground world reasonably".

With these funerary objects, they can pass through the long and narrow valley at the western end of Hades, and together with the sun god who sank into Hades at sunset, arrive at the place where Osiris is, until the moment of resurrection.

Therefore, the people of Memphis must brave the severe cold and try their best to collect the corpses of their relatives, lest they cannot live smoothly in the world after death - the incomplete ones can be replaced with gold, silver, or special fir.

……

After a busy night, the corpses on the battlefield were cleaned up, but the families of the soldiers with no bones left wanted to cry without tears.According to the concept of life and death of the Menesians, the loss of a body is real death, and the inability to reach Hades at all means that they will not be reborn forever.

After learning about this situation, Yi Wen also had a headache. Changing customs is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Now, the feelings of the family members of the deceased must be considered.In order to take care of their feelings, he ordered a batch of special fir trees blessed by the priests to be transported from Wangcheng, and distributed to the families of the martyrs free of charge.

And comfort them, even if the bones of their relatives are gone, as long as their real names are still there, they can live in the underworld smoothly with the fir body.

As the God of the world in the minds of the Menesians, and he has personally witnessed his divine power to quell the evil disasters, these words he made up are still very useful.With the arrival of fir trees in batches, the turbulent hearts also settled down.

Of course, rewards for meritorious deeds after the victory were inevitable. After Ivan promoted Khafre, the commander-in-chief, to the regional military governor, he sealed more than 300 officers, large and small, and more than 60 nobles in one breath.The priests and the Demon Hunting Squad also received different levels of rewards, the former was rewarded with a lot of money for promotion, and the latter was directly awarded the nobility.

However, the nobles he conferred are different from before. In the past, the old aristocrats needed fiefdoms and people, while the new aristocrats were fiefs.

To put it simply, it is to designate a piece of land for you as a nominal fiefdom, and the local area is still managed by the administrative agency of the empire.Part of the tax money is owned by the lord personally, and the lord has the responsibility of monitoring, criticizing, and assisting management of the local area, but the fief is not hereditary.

This also means that the new nobles are separated from the land and become "salary workers" who receive wages, which improves centralization to a certain extent.

After finishing this matter, Ivan immediately returned to the Demon Hunter Legion stranded in the Mirren area. He did not give an order to return to the capital, and prepared to stay for a period of time.Continuing to clear up the possible monsters in name is actually preparing for a thorough advancement.

With the help of the active power melting furnace of the Sun Jinjing, it can gather light energy as fast as flying. As long as the realm is upgraded, it is not a problem at all.The Sacred Code of Hades dragged on for a while and almost broke its body, but through this battle, it finally collected several times the storage capacity of the critical point.

one-one-one-one

The temporary camp of the demon hunting army, Mirren Oasis.

Ordering the army to station around the oasis, Yiwen came to the forest deep in the oasis alone, and slowly adjusted his mentality.

This step-up is very important to him, because for every step-up in the past, the two scriptures were upgraded in stages.But for the fourth stage of advancement, he plans to proceed simultaneously, initially trying to truly integrate light and darkness.

……

In the dense oasis forest, the sun shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, forming wrist-sized beams of light that fall to the ground.However, this light is not enough to change the environment, hiding the damp is the main theme here.

This place was extremely quiet, except for the occasional chirping of insects. Ivan walked through the forest to a relatively desolate grassland.He waved his hand to kill the poisonous insects within a [-]-meter radius, then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated deeply.

giggle-!

On the soft grass, Yiwen's muscles and bones instantly swelled, his muscles, bones, joints and ligaments stretched and became longer, his skin revealed a tough texture like alloy, and he transformed into a giant over two meters tall in a blink of an eye.Neck, back, arms, thighs... the whole body including the face, all the skin has clear metal pit lines.

Stripes of silver light flowed rapidly along these metal pit lines, and then continuously converged into the spiral hollow at the heart of the chest.It seems to be a precise machine, with intricate circuits, distributed all over Ivan's body.The silver coil on the chest is like a powerful heart, beating gurglingly, and the silver flashes flowing all over the body are constantly circulating back and forth through it.

"..."

Ivan's eyes were slightly closed, and he felt that his whole body was wrapped in a warm ocean, as if he was sunbathing in warmth, or soaking in hot spring water.

Om-!

Like a drop of rain falling on a calm lake, ripples spread layer by layer.He sat cross-legged in a cylindrical light curtain, and saw strands of golden electric light everywhere inside the light curtain that seemed to be made of clean springs.Slowly converging, solidifying, thickening, flowing like a liquid, quickly filling the originally hollow beam of light into a solid one.

"Very good, my accumulation is really strong, and it can be said that it is a matter of course to condense the light that never falls!" Yiwen saw that the Sun Golden Sutra was about to be advanced, and quickly divided his mind into two tasks, trying to run the holy scriptures of the underworld synchronously, gradually condensing Flawless plate.

The golden beam of light penetrating the heavens and the earth suddenly changed, and black 'fire dragons' circled upwards, with the beam of light as the center, forming circles of pitch-black light wheels with faintly complex patterns.Under Ivan's control, light and darkness are intertwined. Although they frequently collide and annihilate each other, they always maintain a balanced situation.

In the vague dark light wheel, the never-falling light is consumed layer by layer, and then replenished layer by layer.Faintly, a huge light shield covering everything emerges from it, and energy ripples capable of distorting space are born in it one after another.The fuzzy black light wheel also becomes clearer as the collision consumes, but because too many fluctuations cover up the details of the lines, it can only be seen as a general blur.

As time went by, the collision between light and darkness became more intense, and the destructive fluctuations spread around Ivan.The void where it passed was cracked and cracked, like some kind of bottomless pitch-black gully, constantly twisting and oscillating with the frequency of fluctuations.

"..."

Ivan closed his eyes tightly and then opened them suddenly, his pupils were pure black, like a night without stars and moon.And at the next moment, a molten golden light emerged from the darkness, and this light multiplied several times in an instant, as bright as two small golden suns.

At the same time, countless pictures followed one after another, the details of Dragon Slaying Fist, the perception of observing the divine skills, the specific data of the body's apostolic transformation... With the conflict of light and dark, it was poured into his consciousness like a brand.

one-one-one-one

"What does it feel like? A revolving lantern before death, or... a sublimation from the level of consciousness?"

In this clear and clear state, Ivan tried his best to maintain the balance of light and darkness, consuming enough power to advance several times separately, but now he could only resist the conflict and slowly improve the quality.

If he can still maintain a clear will now, he can feel that both the Unfalling Light and the Infinite Disk are stuck in the process of advancing—because the forces of light and darkness are constantly undergoing qualitative changes in the collision, quantitative The accumulation of accumulation stopped, so that it was too late to take the last step.

The river of time is flowing slowly with its eternal justice and patience, but the existence bathed in it can no longer endure that kind of eternity.In order to maintain the balance of light and darkness, Ivan even used his full power to launch his fists, and he could still sustain it with his abundant reserves, but the increasingly intense conflicts made him have a splitting headache.

But it didn't take long, and he quickly discovered the difference - the light and dark forces in his body began to leave his body, and the speed was getting faster and faster, rushing towards the unformed unfalling light and the infinite disk.

During this process, the information left to him by the two holy scriptures was split and reorganized, and quickly integrated to form an unprecedented advanced method.

"Could it be that this is the real way to study the two holy scriptures!? This kind of power... simply exceeds that of a mechanic at the same level... No, it's not only this level, it's even comparable to the body of an apostle!"

With his hands on his knees, Yiwen sat at the core of the beam of light and the light wheel with his eyes closed. The surrounding void seemed to ripple on the surface of the water, and even the light flickered on and off.

According to the new advanced method, an extremely stable power module instantly covered the conflict between light and dark.From somewhere between heaven and earth came the roar of gears rotating, with an inexplicable rhythm, each sound became more and more magnificent and vast, just like the melody played by the myriad phenomena in nature.

Ka-!

Yiwen's back seemed to be split open suddenly, and a few long and narrow pieces of golden light bloomed, and the golden light rotated and expanded continuously.Finally, a circle of dark golden disc light wheel engraved with hieroglyphic patterns unfolded from behind him and rotated slowly—the praises and chants woven by the natural rhythms of wind, water, fire, thunder, etc. sounded like a god Advent.

The huge golden light wheel rotated slowly and heavily in mid-air, and streams of pure light radiated from it, covering Ivan's whole body from back to front.Although there is only a thin layer, it is several times more solid than the pure unfalling light, which can already be said to be invulnerable to all evil.

"It's not a simple transformation... It's a one-time consumption of two kinds of power advanced to the fourth level, completely stripping the power of light and darkness from the body. It's called the wheel of judgment, and it can be said to be equivalent to the king of supernatural skills. .After exiting this state, I still have light and dark transformations, but the quality is definitely better than my cousin."
