On the Throne: The King of Black and White

This is a world made of bones and carrion.

The soil of the earth is like rotten flesh, the rivers are black blood, the trees are giant hand bones, and the fruits are human heads.

In this terrifying world, there are some beings that are like the underworld walking.

Those are the bones of humans and strange beasts.

They were crawling out of rivers and mud with rotten flesh hanging on their bodies.

Blue flames burned in their heads, as if their souls had materialized.

These... are all the dead who have died long ago.

They regard this land as the underworld, wandering here, dazing here, fighting here...

They are like alien beasts, with all kinds of energy rushing through their bodies. They wave their weapons, dance their claws, and perform violence aimlessly.

Some of the dead who were attacked rose up to resist, while some were scattered into pieces and withered on the ground.

But... no one will really die.

The underworld retains their soul fire, and the bones gather and splice on the ground...

As time goes by, these dead will crawl out of the corpse land.

This is...the authority of the monarch.

Acts on all existences in this world.

Without his permission, no one who dies can ever rest in peace.

But at this moment, two "beings" broke into this underworld.

They are located at the very edge of the world, backed by a gray-white halo, which is an entrance to the underworld.

"Sanctuary of the Dead..."

The speaker was a man wearing a beige gown, with half-long hair, a handsome face, and a soft expression.

His pupils were glowing with light blue, like a dream, clear and charming.

A-level hunter and dreamer-Liu Tongsheng.

He is one of the five major legions in Yuzhou, the third in command of the Ice Demon Shark, and a powerful hunter in the dream realm.

"This sacred area seems to retain the soul fire. Even if the souls of the dead are torn into pieces, at most it will delay the resurrection time and cannot really kill them."

The dreamer turned his head, looked at the woman beside him, and asked:

"What should we do? Vice President..."

It was a lady with a somewhat slender figure.

She was dressed like a white-collar woman, with a white uniform, tight skirt, dark brown stockings, and 5-cm high heels.

She looks like a city beauty in her attire, but...

The slightly curly long reddish-brown hair seemed to lack combing, and looked messy and rough, hanging loosely.

On her beautiful, makeup-free face, her eyes were drooped, as if she hadn't woken up, looking lazy and lifeless.

Yuzhou Hunter Association - Vice President, Split Killing Eagle Princess - Wu Qi.

Like Jiang Wenlong, he is a Transcendent A Grade hunter with the authority of a monarch.

Standing in the air, President Wu Qi's red-brown eyes moved slowly, looking at the land of the underworld.

a while.

She scratched her rough hair and uttered hoarse and low words:

"At the core of the sanctuary, there must be a storage place for soul fire. If it is destroyed, these dead will not be resurrected."

"That's not easy..." The dreamer shook his head and sighed:

"This kind of fire preserved by the monarch must have strong protective capabilities. Can you use your authority here?"

The lady touched her pocket, took out a lady's cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

"Once the true monarch's authority is revealed, this sanctuary may collapse at any time..." President Wu Qi blew out a smoke ring and said lightly:

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to rely on the power of an A-level hunter to destroy the fire."

"What a difficult task..." Dreamer Liu Tongsheng said with a wry smile on his face:

"I can only hope that my supporting colleagues have strong soul attack capabilities. Otherwise, I really can't do this alone."

"Hmm..." Vice President Wu Qi nodded slightly and quietly observed the underworld.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes, and there was a hint of surprise on her face.

"What did you find?" Liu Tongsheng followed the lady's gaze and was slightly startled.

In the distance, a white halo was seen in the empty area that also belonged to the edge of the world.

It was very similar to the gray-white halo behind them.

Is that another entrance to this sanctuary?

Under the gaze of the two hunters, a "creature" emerged from the white halo.

She has a body shape similar to that of a human woman, wearing a strange gray-white robe. She is over 3 meters tall, with skinny hands and feet, and her black hair reaches to her ankles.

On top of that, her body is translucent and made of pure soul energy.

"...B-level ghost?"

The dreamer frowned slightly and asked the lady beside him:

"Ghosts and the dead should not belong to the same nature of authority, right? Can this monarch control two powers?"

"Impossible..." Ms. Wu Qi shook her head and said lightly:

"Monarchs are not demigods. They cannot integrate energy and can only have a single type of authority."

The dreamer nodded slightly and muttered:

"Then this ghost just accidentally discovered the entrance and ran in on its own?"

"..."

Vice-President Wu Qi said nothing, silently staring at the ghost, his reddish-brown eyes dilated and lazy, gradually becoming awe-inspiring.

"That ghost also has an aura of authority."

"...What?" Dreamer opened his eyes slightly.

"She may be from another sanctuary..." Ms. Wu Qi held a cigarette in her mouth and said calmly:

"There should be two monarchs, they are closely related, and their authority belongs to the same abstract attribute."

"Their sanctuary has opened a channel in the mezzanine of the world, with the ability to communicate with each other."

Liu Tongsheng suddenly realized, frowned and asked:

"...Is there no distance limit for this interoperability?"

"Theoretically, there is no such thing, but..." Ms. Wu Qi pointed at the ghost and said:

"The white path between the worlds consumes extremely high energy."

"Although the ghost is a real soul life, if you want to pass the White Way, you need to bear a certain amount of consumption, right?"

"Need..." Liu Tongsheng, a hunter in the abstract realm, nodded and said clearly:

"Their consumption is roughly equivalent to one-twentieth of humans."

"One twentieth..." Vice President Wu Qi exhaled smoke and asked:

"How far can the energy of 20 B-level hunters travel on the White Road?"

"This is not certain..." Dreamer Liu Tongsheng smiled bitterly and explained:

"Some white roads have a twist rate and can span long distances in reality."

"The energy of 20 B-level hunters may be able to cover the entire Yuzhou wilderness if they encounter a white road with good twists and turns."

"Yeah..." Ms. Wu Qi nodded slightly and said softly:

"Then mobilize all personnel to search all areas except the core of the Yuzhou wilderness area."

"This..." Liu Tongsheng looked stunned and asked quickly:

"Vice President, the sanctuary in the mezzanine of the world is extremely difficult to find and may not even be open to the public. Such a search will most likely yield nothing."

"Why not just rely on that mezzanine passage and go directly to another sanctuary?"

"No..." Wu Qi raised his chin and motioned for the other party to take a look.

Liu Tongsheng turned his head and looked at the location of the ghost.

That white halo...has disappeared.

Not a trace was left behind.

"...One-way passage?" Dreamer took a deep breath, and his eyes became completely serious.

"I don't know if there is a two-way passage inside this sanctuary..." Vice President Wu Qi flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said:

"We need to search the deserted areas, we can't leave anything to chance."

"And..." Ms. Wu Qi glanced at Liu Tongsheng and said in a deep voice:

"Actually, the second sanctuary is not that difficult to find."

"...?"

"After the death of the monarch, this kind of sacred realm in the middle of the world will automatically maintain the total amount of internal energy."

Dreamer Liu Tongsheng looked startled.

"When that B-level ghost comes over, there will be an energy gap in the sanctuary opposite..." Vice President Wu Qi threw away the cigarette and said in a calm tone:

"In order to make up for the gap, it will open the entrance to the sanctuary and devour the energy and strange beasts from the outside until it is completed."

"We only need to monitor which wasteland begins to devour energy, and we can roughly determine the location."

"I understand..." Dreamer nodded seriously.

"Let's go..." Ms. Wu Qi turned around and stepped into the gray halo.

"The supporting hunters should be arriving soon..."
