"Hello, boss, I'm Bai He. I'm not going back to the dormitory tonight. Say hello to the brothers, don't treat me like a missing person!”
"Oh, are you going to look at the stars again? You don't plan to be an astronomer. If you have the time, you should revise your homework. Be careful not to be fooled!”
"Don't worry, it's not like I haven't been faked before. It's not a big deal.”
After hanging up the phone, Bai He lay on the dam of the Ming Tombs Reservoir and stretched his body, rubbing his eyes.
It was unknown how many times it had stayed up all night to watch the stars, but this had already become Bai He's habit. In fact, Bai He did not have much interest in astronomy, nor did he want to be an astronomer. Otherwise, he would not have fallen headfirst into the ravine of Changping to study law.
What Bai He was really interested in was the ancient culture of China. He believed that in the five thousand years of brilliant Chinese civilization, there were many miracles that even modern civilization could not explain.
Bai He had studied Chinese medicine, martial arts, and even the Book of Changes, Eight Trigrams, and Qimen Dunjia. These mysterious things seemed to be clear on paper, but they were always missing something in practical application. Could it be that some unknown secrets had been buried in the long years?
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and Bai He began to concentrate on observing the Big Dipper again. He had accidentally obtained a book about Qimen Dunjia. The book was already worn out, and even some of the words could not be recognized. The ink on the cover had become a black ball because of the dampness, and even the title of the book was unclear. The profound sentences in the book made Bai He confused, so he came to the Ming Tombs Reservoir late at night to observe the changes in the stars in order to make a breakthrough.
A shooting star slowly streaked across the sky like a jumping musical note, playing the prologue of the night.
The white crane smiled lightly and watched mockingly as it was swallowed by the endless darkness. A weak light trying to contend with the endless darkness was simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating its own strength. For some reason, this cold and desolate night gave Bai He an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if this endless night was his home, his home.
A strange meteor slowly streaked across the sky, entering Bai He's line of sight. It wasn't shining with dazzling light, but burning with black flames, black flames burning in the darkness! Although it was in the vast night sky, Bai He could still clearly see that it was a black flame.
Unlike the darkness of the night sky, the darkness emitted by this meteor was incomparably deep and terrifying. It was as if the eyes of the Grim Reaper were examining the souls of the living...
Bai He's body involuntarily trembled, feeling as if it was about to be torn apart. A heart-wrenching pain invaded every part of his body, extending endlessly through his blood vessels. Unlike the pain of his flesh, this bone-piercing pain seemed to come from the depths of his soul, as if there was a pair of invisible hands tearing at his soul. His consciousness began to blur and gradually sank into darkness…
"Wake up, Inheritor of Darkness!”
The white crane slowly opened its eyes. It was pitch black in front of it. In the darkness, one could vaguely see a huge black shadow flickering in front of them. It was indescribably strange.
"Who…who are you? What is this place?" The heart-wrenching pain had subsided, but fear still shrouded his heart, making him feel even colder. Bai He looked around warily, not knowing where he was. He only felt that endless unknowns piled up in his mind, without any clue.
"I am the ruler of darkness, the Dark Demon King who wields the power of destruction.”The black shadow flickered in the void, and its tone was extremely dignified.
Bai He felt that this voice was very strange, because it didn't seem to be transmitted into his ears, but directly appeared in his mind.
"Demon King?" Bai He said in surprise. If it was any other time, he would definitely mock the other party without holding back, because this joke was too clumsy. However, looking at the strange scene in front of him, he still endured it. Was he dreaming? The Demon King in the dream was actually a shadow. His imagination was really lacking.
"This is not a dream. What you saw was only my soul.”The Demon King's voice echoed in White Crane's ears like a deep bell." Don't doubt me. I can see through your thoughts. This is the magical part of dark magic.”
"Soul? Could it be that you are already dead?" Bai He asked softly. He only felt a pair of terrifying eyes staring at him in the darkness. That sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce through his heart.
"Yes, my body was already destroyed in the battle with the Radiant Godking.”The black shadow's tone was filled with anger and unwillingness." That's why I had no choice but to travel through space to come to this world and choose you as my successor!”
"So there really is a soul." Bai He muttered to himself. His fear was gradually replaced by curiosity. He could not help but ask,"Be your successor? Then what do you want me to do?"
"To put it simply, it's to go to my world and lead my people to conquer the entire continent, as well as defeat my old enemy, the Radiant Godking.”
"Sounds interesting, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in fighting and killing at all. Besides, I still have to go back and review my lessons.”Bai He said casually.
"Hahaha!" The Dark Demon King laughed maniacally.
Each syllable was like a sharp arrow piercing through Bai He's heart, and a great fear enveloped his heart.
"Do you know who you are talking to?”The Dark Demon King stopped laughing and asked coldly.
" I…" Bai He had just said one word when he realized that his voice was actually trembling. He cursed himself for being useless and took a deep breath to calm his emotions before saying calmly,""Is the Demon King that amazing? Then how did you get killed by that Radiant Godking? If you can't do it, how can an ordinary person like me do it?”
"Shut up!" The Dark Demon King rudely interrupted Bai He. "If Elena hadn't sealed my Devastator Demonic Sword, I would have killed him long ago.”
"Come to my world, and you will no longer be an ordinary person. You will be my successor, the new Lord God of Darkness.”At this point, the Demon King's tone softened." Think about it. You can have great power, you can become the king who rules the entire world, you can have wealth, female slaves, palaces!”
"Are you trying to seduce me?" Bai He chuckled," Indeed, I like money and beautiful women, but I don't want to give up my current life for these things, much less go to your world. I like freedom. Wealth and power are just shackles of the secular world. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.”
The Dark Demon King fell silent. He did not expect that power, wealth, and beauty would not be able to move the human in front of him. However, he was even more determined to make his choice. He believed that such a person who was intelligent but not easily tempted might be able to complete his destiny.
"What is the value of your existence in this world? Would an ordinary human be willing to live a mediocre life all day long?”
"In my world, humans occupy fertile land, but they never stop killing each other, while demons struggle on barren land. Is this fair? It is precisely because of this that we chose war, to fight for survival!”
"Without the protection of the Dark Demon King, the Demon Race would never be able to defeat the God Race. They are destined to starve to death on the barren land, while the humans squander as much as they want. When I escaped to this world, I had already burned my soul. I don't have much time left. The last thing I can do for my people is to find a successor to continue my power and lead them out of their suffering…can you bear to see me die with regret and my people die in suffering?”The Dark Demon King said sincerely, every word striking at Bai He's heart.
Vaguely, the white crane began to waver. Two different thoughts were struggling in its mind, not knowing where to go.
"Besides, you can't go back anymore. Your soul has already been separated from your body. If you don't go to my world to reincarnate, you will only die!”The demon king added coldly.
"What?" Bai He was startled, but he immediately understood the meaning of these words. He said angrily,"Just because you want me to be your successor, you're going to kill me? You despicable demon!"
"Shut up!" The Dark Demon King was furious. As the Lord God of Darkness, he had always been worshipped by others. Why would he need to spend so much effort and use such a pleading tone to convince a human that he had always despised?
"Don't talk to me about those false morals! I'm a demon to begin with. The hypocrisy of humans and Protoss is meaningless to me! I am who I am. As long as I think it is right, why should I care what others say? Remember, this is the true Master God of Darkness!"
Bai He fell silent. After all, in the face of death, those false moral principles were not convincing at all. Moreover, he also agreed with these words very much in his heart. He wanted to do what he thought was right and ignore what others thought. However, he knew that this was the power of the strong. Only the absolute strong had the right to do so.
"What should I do?" Bai He sighed helplessly. In this contest, he was the loser. Facing the strong, the weak had no choice at all.
"After your soul absorbs my power, I will send you to my world and revive you in the body I created. At that time, my consciousness will disappear and I will leave everything to you.”
At this point, some genetic maps suddenly appeared in Bai He's mind.
"This is the gene of your body in this world. You can use this gene to be reborn in my world with your original appearance!”
"What if I forget?" Remembering this damned thing was really troublesome.
"Then I will be reborn in my original appearance.”
"The initial appearance?" Bai He asked in surprise.
"The Dark Demon King takes the form of a dragon, and only after that will it take the form of a demon.”Perhaps because his wish had been fulfilled, the Dark Demon King was in a good mood. He said lightly,"If you like to be pestered by a group of female dragons or chased by a group of dragon hunters, you don't have to remember it.”
White Crane smiled bitterly and quickly memorized the genetic map. At that moment, the voice of the Dark Demon King came into his ears.
"Alright, there isn't much time left. I'll infuse my power into your soul now. When you wake up, you'll enter my world. Remember, only by finding the lost Divine Weapon, the Devastator Demonic Sword, at the Black Dragon Mountain can you become a true Master God of Darkness.”
Suddenly, the black flames quickly grew stronger, and the white crane gradually lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, Bai He found himself in a dark space. The only difference was that it felt warm here, and the Dark Demon King's soul was gone.
"Is this another world? I remember that guy saying that when I wake up again, I'll be in his world. But why can't I move?”The white crane tried its best to move, wanting to walk out of this endless darkness. However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not move its body. He even wondered if this body belonged to him. Why did it feel so unreal?
"Is he still in the world of consciousness?”With a thought, Bai He began to focus. In a trance, the scenery around him began to slowly change. A hazy red color, slender blood vessels... As his thoughts spun, the surrounding environment became clearer and clearer.
In front of him were many 3D images that looked like genetic maps. The genes were like seaweed in the water, floating in this space one by one.
"Right, genetic map, body modification!”Bai He remembered the Dark Demon King's last words. He did not want to become a dragon, no matter how handsome it was!
In the world of consciousness, Bai He felt that he was the master. Everything here would change according to his thoughts, and the complicated genes gradually merged with the patterns in his mind. This was a huge and tedious project. He couldn't feel the passage of time in the world of consciousness, so even Bai He himself didn't know how much time had passed. When he was bored, he also wanted to change his image. Perhaps it would be cooler to change into Andy Liu's face and Arnold Schwarzenegger's muscles, but he hesitated and gave up. After all, he was a biological illiterate. If he accidentally put Peng Qiaqia's nostrils or Xiao Liang's height on himself, it would be bad.
During this time, the white crane began to explore its surroundings through its consciousness. It discovered that it was inside an egg. It was probably a dragon's egg!
How sad! In the White Crane's mind, anything related to an egg was not a good thing. Idiot, fool, bastard…If others knew that it came out of an egg, it would really be extremely embarrassing.
What did the outside of the egg look like? Bai He wanted to know, but he couldn't see it. His spiritual power could not penetrate the thick eggshell at all. Although he had tried countless times, he always failed. In the end, he gave up. Anyway, one day, he would see that the world would submit to him.
Next, in order to pass the time, Bai He began a long study.
The Dark Demon God had not only left him with great power, but also his memories. From the time the God of Creation created the Dark Demon King to the final battle with the Divine King of Light, all the knowledge and experiences were completely preserved in his consciousness. This was a true wealth.
At first, the White Crane was just peeping at them. It wanted to know what was hidden behind the mask of the Dark Master God. Gradually, he felt ashamed of his despicable thoughts. The Dark Demon King was actually a tragic hero. For the survival of the Demon Race, he had always persisted in fighting against the powerful God Race, Elf Race, Human Race, Dwarf Race, and even the Orc Race. Even at the moment of his death, he wanted to pass on his beliefs and leave hope for the Demon Race.
Towards the Dark Demon King, Bai He felt very conflicted. On the one hand, she treated him as an enemy, an enemy who killed her and exiled her to this strange world. On the other hand, he regarded the Dark Demon King as a hero worthy of respect, a tragic hero who dared to subvert the existing order and sacrifice his life for his people. Under the influence of this love-hate relationship, he began to feel confused about his future. Was he destined to walk the same path as the Demon King?
In the following days, Bai He treated the Dark Demon King as his teacher again. He learned most of the things that the Dark Demon King had left in his memories. From magic to martial arts, to all kinds of languages, of course, it was only in theory. Through his studies, he had a basic understanding of this world.
After the God of Creation created this world, he created the five main gods of wind, fire, water, and earth, as well as the God of War. He then divided his life into the two main gods of light and darkness, inheriting his power of creation and destruction respectively.
Therefore, there were seven great Master Gods in this world. The most powerful Main Gods were the Light Godking, who represented the Light Element, and the Dark Demon King, who represented the Dark Element. Next were the Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth Main Gods, as well as the War God, Remit.
There were two continents in this world, separated by the ocean. There were humans, orcs, dwarves, elves, dragons, and a few other races living on the continent.
The Gods and Demons lived in the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm respectively. The intersection between the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm was at the top of the 30,000-meter-high Divine Mountain. The holy mountain was covered in snow all year round and was covered in ten-thousand-year-old ice. The magic fluctuations nearby were very strange. As long as ordinary people approached it, a magic storm would occur and they would be reduced to ashes in the powerful magic storm.
The entrance to the Demon Realm was at the bottom of the Dark Swamp. Unless there was a powerful force, the entrance to the Demon Realm would be swallowed by the Dark Swamp.
Among the various races, the God Race and the Fairy Race were the races created by the Radiant Godking, while the Dark Divine Dragon created the Devil Race and the Dragon Race. As for humans and orcs, they were created by the God of Creation. Humans believed in the God King of Light, while the Beastmen had abandoned God. They believed that power was the only law of the world, so they had strong bodies but could not use magic.
Life in the world of consciousness was extremely boring. If not for the endless memories of the Dark Demon King, Bai He would have collapsed.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai He felt that the energy in his body was slowly increasing, and it was becoming more and more difficult to move his consciousness. In the end, his consciousness was finally confined to his body, and his body seemed to have a physical body.
On this day, Bai He was fantasizing about what this world would look like. Suddenly, the energy in his body began to expand, and the energy that was as hot as flames filled every corner of his body. Bai He was in extreme pain, as if his body was about to explode. He struggled in pain, and the feeling of frustration became stronger and stronger. Finally, the power filled his body and there was no place to vent it. Just as Bai He's consciousness was about to disappear again, a change occurred!
Bai He felt energy burst out from the pores on his skin, blasting the solid dragon egg into pieces. He finally broke out of the shell.
Lying on the ground, Bai He tried to open his eyes. After getting used to the sunlight outside, he couldn't wait to start observing this world.
The first thing he saw was a blue sky, and a few clouds were moving slowly in the sky. It seemed to be no different from the sky in his own world, except that it was much clearer. He stood up gently and stretched his body.
It felt so good to have a physical body! Bai He thought.
As far as the eye could see, there was a blue sky all around. This was probably the peak of a mountain. There were all kinds of shiny things piled up at his feet. Silver armor, gold coins, blue gems…a dazzling array of things, reflecting the light of the sun, so bright that Bai He's eyes were somewhat painful.
The summit was about the size of ten football fields. The white crane stepped on the treasures on the ground and walked to the edge, thinking about how to get down from this damn summit. Although he had already mastered the wind element spell, Wings of Wind…it was still only at the theoretical stage. If he accidentally fell from the sky, that would be terrible.
Bai He didn't want to joke around with his life. After all, he had just died once.
He did not know that he had been in the egg for a hundred years.
The bottom of the mountain was filled with water. It turned out that the mountain was in the middle of a large lake. Outside the lake was a green grassland, and further away was an endless forest.
How do I get down?
The White Crane suddenly remembered that it could use spatial magic to teleport. Even if it failed, it would not die. Bai He suddenly realized how timid he was. Perhaps he was afraid of staying in the dark consciousness!
As a White Crane that possessed the power of the Lord God of Darkness, it did not need to chant any spells when using magic. In this world, using magic relied on mana and mental strength. By using mental strength to mobilize mana, one could cast magic. However, the magic power in the human body was limited. When the magic power in the human body was not enough to cast magic, they had to rely on incantations to mobilize the magic elements around them," elemental magic," or use divine power," forbidden magic," to cast magic.
A high-level mage could cast low-level magic without chanting. They only needed to meditate and concentrate. On the contrary, when a low-level mage cast low-level magic, they had to chant an incantation to mobilize the surrounding magic elements.
However, the black magic array that he had imagined did not appear. Bai He smiled bitterly. It turned out that theory and reality were so far apart.
"Sigh! He didn't expect the new master to be an idiot.”
A crisp voice suddenly rang out from above Bai He's head, giving him a fright.
"Before you obtain the Dark God Equipment, you are just an ordinary person. You will not be able to use the power that Master left for you, much less control the four elements.”
Bai He hurriedly turned around, but he didn't even see a shadow. "Who is it?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm on your head."
A crisp sound rang out from the top of the white crane's head. He looked towards the sound and found a small bird.
"Are you talking to me?" The white crane didn't react for a moment. After all, it was the first time it had been called an idiot by a bird. The bird in front of him was only the size of a palm. Its black feathers seemed to be coated with a layer of oil, and the light could be seen. It was very cute. If a young girl was here, she would definitely scream and hug it in her arms.
The white crane almost screamed. To him, this bird was as cute as a savior. Since it could speak, it meant that it could find someone to help it.
"Idiot! Of course I'm talking to you. Is there anyone else here?”The little black bird flapped its wings and circled in front of Bai He, carefully sizing him up.
"Who are you?" The white crane felt uncomfortable under its gaze and asked hesitantly.
"I'm the guardian beast of the dark element.”The black bird sounded rather proud." In this world, I'm the strongest in terms of controlling the dark element, other than the Lord God of Darkness.”
"Oh, then you're really amazing.”Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Bai He still gave a perfunctory reply.
Unfortunately, this bird did not seem to be easy to fool.
"Hmph, you don't believe me?" The little bird circled above the white crane's head and said disdainfully,""Let me tell you, I'm not a bird. I'm a Dark Divine Beast. Without my help, you won't even be able to get down this mountain.”
The white crane secretly cursed it for being crafty, but it had no choice but to respond.
"How can I not believe it! The guardian beast of the dark element was certainly impressive.”At this point, he quickly changed the topic."Then, can you please tell me what this place is? Since you are a dark elemental divine beast, you must know where the Dark Artifact is, right?”
"This is the Demon Realm's Dragon God Valley, the holy land of the Dragon Clan.”The little bird gently landed on the White Crane's shoulder and said slowly. It was as light as a feather, and the white crane could not even feel its weight.
"As for the Dark Divine Weapon, the Devastator Demonic Sword, it's at the top of the Mysterious Dragon Mountain in the middle of the Demon Forest. It's a terrifying place that even the Demon Race rarely gets close to.”
"I will send you to the edge of the Demon Forest, and then you will find the Devastator Demon Sword yourself and become the new Dark Master God.”
The corners of Bai He's mouth curled into a smile. He wasn't afraid of the Divine Beast of Darkness's words at all. Instead, he was filled with anticipation and excitement.
Perhaps he had been lonely in the world of consciousness for too long, but when he thought of the upcoming test, he actually felt his blood boil, and his heart was filled with lofty sentiments. He suddenly mustered up his strength and roared towards the sky. His deep and powerful roar echoed in the gloomy valley under the clear blue sky. At this moment, it was as if the entire world was trembling under his feet.
The Divine Beast of Darkness did not mock him this time. The White Crane in front of him suddenly gave him a strong sense of oppression, making him have the urge to prostrate himself in worship, just like when he faced the Dark Demon King in the past.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the white crane gradually quieted down, its deafening howl still echoing in the valley. He felt much better. The depression of leaving his hometown, the uneasiness of coming to another world, and the loneliness in the world of consciousness were all vented in this long howl.
"Let's go. I'll leave everything to you.”The White Crane smiled at the Divine Beast of Darkness.
The Divine Beast of Darkness did not complain anymore. Suddenly, its body emitted a powerful force. A black light enveloped its body and it instantly became larger.
When the white crane saw it clearly again, it had already transformed into a phoenix-like, awe-inspiring divine beast. Its huge body and broad back were enough for a person to sleep on.
"You're quite handsome. I thought you were just a pet bird!”The White Crane climbed onto the back of the Divine Beast of Darkness and hugged its neck tightly, whispering into its ear.
"I already said I'm not a bird, I'm a divine beast! You idiot, how many times do I have to say it to remember it!”The Dark Divine Beast said angrily.
"I can't help it. You're too much like a bird. Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Bai He. What's your name?”Bai He asked.
Before he could finish, the Dark Divine Beast had already carried him into the air.
Bai He was secretly shocked. In the blink of an eye, he was already in the air. What surprised him even more was that he couldn't feel any airflow, as if he was still on the ground.
Just as he was feeling surprised, the Dark Divine Beast's voice rang out in his ear again,""My name is Mitkara. Dakol Lossett, remember this.”
The Divine Beast of Darkness seemed to be very satisfied with its name, but the White Crane was different. He didn't even hear what it was clearly. The only impression he had was that this name was smelly and long, and it was abnormally difficult to pronounce.
"Your name is too long. Why don't I give you a simple name? Hmm, what should I call it?"
Countless words flashed through Bai He's mind. He repeatedly sifted through them, striving to find the simplest and most appropriate name.
The Dark Divine Beast did not appreciate it and protested loudly,"I don't want to change my name!"
However, the white crane did not pay attention to its protest. A thought flashed in its mind, and a wonderful name blurted out: "I'll call you Little Black! Haha, it's simple and appropriate." "How is it? Are you satisfied with this name?" Bai He smiled proudly. Xiao Hei?"
The Dark Divine Beast shouted angrily, even threatening to throw him down. However, the White Crane was unwilling to give up this wonderful name that it had painstakingly thought of. In the end, the Dark Divine Beast could only admit that it was unlucky.
As it sighed helplessly, it finally arrived at the Demon Forest.
"This is the edge of the Demon Forest.”Blackie placed the white crane on the ground and turned back to its cute palm-sized appearance." The Devastating Demonic Sword is on that mountain. As long as you can get it, you can become the true Dark Master God.”
Through the mottled shadows of the trees, Bai He could vaguely see the black mountain peak. It looked eerie and terrifying against the dark forest, as if it was an unknown hell. The black fog pervaded the surroundings of the trees, and the fallen leaves on the ground were piled up abnormally deep, as if they had never been trampled on.
"I can only send you here. The rest will depend on your own efforts.”Little Black circled the white crane's head a few times, as if it was bidding farewell.
It disappeared before the white crane's eyes like a black bolt of lightning, and only its clear voice could be heard."I hope to see you again, Bai He!”
Bai He smiled faintly, a black flame seemed to be burning in his pitch-black eyes. He raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He took a deep breath and strode into the depths of the forest.
He knew that this was a new beginning. Fate was at his feet, and the direction of fate had to be grasped by himself.
Come on! Be it the Magical Beasts or the Radiant Godking, since we've come to this world, let's have a competition! I will complete the dark destiny!#
