“Finally out of Yan Jing, I chose a direction and ran wildly. I ran for seven days and seven nights until the moment I was exhausted, and I fell into a valley. From that day on, there was no more light in my heart, only endless resentment and hatred. I want to live for revenge. I want to kill all those who betrayed me and all those who harmed me.”

“I don’t know why, but after I lost my light, the Turtle Shell Art disappeared inexplicably. Perhaps it was disgusted by my hatred. But this is no longer important to me. From that black token, I obtained the inheritance of an ancient undead mage. Light and undead, these were originally completely opposite abilities. But with my talent, I gradually merged them. I need power, power that is strong enough to subvert the entire Pombo Kingdom and destroy the glorious Holy See. I have no family anymore. In this world, everyone is my enemy. Only their blood and lives can offset the resentment in my heart. I cultivated day and night, and I frantically improved my strength. Just so that one day I can take revenge.”

“Hatred became my greatest motivation. A child of light, hiding in the deep mountains and cultivating hard for ten years, can you imagine how terrifying that is? When I left that deep mountain, I was no longer the child of light, Ilex, but the Undead Holy Magic God, the Undead Scourge, Ilex.”

“I killed everyone I saw, and all living beings were turned into my undead subordinates. I started from a small city and gradually gathered my undead army. When I returned to Yan Jing, the capital of the Pombo Empire, I already had a million undead by my side. The Pombo Empire was completely destroyed by me. And that slut, Fleur, followed Perot to the glorious Holy See. So, I led my undead army to the Holy See again. I want to destroy them all and avenge my family.”

Hearing him say this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but angrily say, “Have you ever thought about how many innocent people your revenge has killed? The Pombo Empire’s royal family and the Holy See are the ones you have a grudge against. But why did you involve so many people?” He sympathized with Ilex’s experience, but he deeply hated his cruel methods and the harm he caused to humanity.

A trace of sadness appeared in Ilex’s eyes, “I hesitated, and I regretted it. But at that time, the three great empires and the Holy See were too powerful. It was impossible to succeed in revenge with my own strength alone. In order to take revenge, I fell into depravity and darkness. But at that time, I never thought that I was wrong. In my eyes, there was only killing.”

Long Haochen didn’t speak anymore, because he felt a deep sadness and regret from Ilex’s emotions at this time. He regretted it? The former Undead Scourge, Ilex, who brought great disaster to mankind, regretted it? Could it be because of me and Cai’er?

Even if Ilex had a heart of repentance, his feeling in Long Haochen’s heart would not change. The mistake had been made, and how could repentance redeem it? Ilex’s hands were stained with the blood of countless humans.

“I destroyed my own country. In order to deal with me, the glorious Holy See joined forces with the other two great empires to launch a war against me. At that time, I had already occupied nearly one-third of the continent. I had a large number of undead powerhouses under my command. Their soul fires were under my control and had unparalleled loyalty. Millions of undead armies, under my command, rushed towards the glorious Holy See like a plague. Although the glorious Holy See had powerful divine magic, as the Undead Holy Magic God, my direct undead subordinates had extremely strong resistance to the light element. At the beginning of the war, I had a complete upper hand.”

“But, the undead are still undead. Even if they are loyal, they have lost the wisdom that belongs to human beings. The heritage of the glorious era gradually exerted its power under their united efforts. When they stabilized their position, they began to counterattack under the leadership of the glorious Holy See. At that time, my strength was already very strong, and I could even contend with the Pope of the glorious Holy See. However, I couldn’t guarantee that my undead army would be able to win.”

“In the final decisive battle, my undead army was defeated. Although the human coalition also paid a heavy price, I was ultimately defeated. I was severely injured by the Pope of the glorious Holy See, who led a group of experts. And the Pope placed a vicious curse of weakness on me. As a result, I suffered the pain of this divine curse for thousands of years. In the end, I had no choice but to give up my body and enter eternal slumber.”

“I lost this war, but my revenge was still successful. Although I suffered irreparable damage, those who had harmed me were all killed by my own hands. This included the Pope, Perot, and Fleur. I still clearly remember the pain and struggle in Fleur’s eyes at the moment before I crushed her heart. I wanted to take out her heart to see if it was red. Perot was turned into an undead by me in the most painful way. I took him by my side and slowly tempered his soul fire for thousands of years, eventually causing it to vanish into smoke, never to be reincarnated.”

“The reason I created this Eternal Tower in the first place was to nurture my physical body. Unfortunately, I was still unable to overcome that hateful curse. Otherwise, with my cultivation at that time, I wouldn’t have died even after thousands or tens of thousands of years. But in reality, what really caused me to enter eternal slumber was not the physical injuries, but my heart.”

“After I killed all my enemies, I realized that there was nothing in this world that I could miss. The people I loved were all dead, and the people I hated were all dead. My heart was also turned into a void. With no reason to live, I finally chose to go to destruction. I put myself into eternal slumber here. Because I didn’t want to recall whether I was right or wrong in the war back then. Now it seems that I was wrong. I was really wrong. No matter how much I killed them, my family could not be resurrected. Moreover, so many innocent people died because of me. My sins can never be redeemed. I am a sinner of mankind.”

Speaking of this, Ilex looked at Long Haochen and Cai’er with sad eyes and a few sincere regrets, “I want to thank you. You woke me up, and you freed me from my former resentment. I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but after everything in the past is gone, I truly calmed down and saw my heinous crimes. You are right, my abilities do not deserve to be passed down to you anymore. This inheritance belonging to the undead mage should still disappear forever as a sign, otherwise it will sooner or later leave a scourge on the world.”

“I thought that everyone in this world was despicable and shameless, and hopeless. But after seeing the love between you, I realized that I was wrong. One of you is willing to give up your life for the other, and to resurrect the other without hesitation, you have to take out your own heart. The other is willing to give up the faith in light as a child of light for the sake of your lover. You let me see what true love is, what true love is for all eternity. Thank you. It was not until I witnessed the moment of your love that I realized that there is really love in this world. Human beings are not completely despicable. In the beginning, the greatest psychological advantage that supported my killing was to kill all ungrateful people.”

“Regret is no longer meaningful. After saying all this, I feel much better psychologically. The hostility in my heart has finally been purified. Although I can never return to the embrace of light again. But I can finally make a contribution to the light with my sinful body.”

As he spoke, Ilex pointed his right hand at the coffin in front of him, and the aura of death that had overflowed suddenly erupted like a gusher. His left hand made a gesture of pressing down in the direction of Long Haochen and Cai’er. A layer of golden light罩 immediately appeared around the two of them, and they were not impacted by any aura of death.

It could be clearly seen that the aura of death presented as white in the intense surge. Although Long Haochen and Cai’er only felt it for a moment when the aura of death gushed out before, they could also perceive the amazing purity contained in the aura of death.

Such a pure death energy had long been separated from the level of the undead mage. It was the result of Ilex’s thousands of years of purification! Its terrifying power can be said to be the essence of Ilex’s cultivation throughout his life, except for the light.

White air currents gathered on Ilex’s slowly raised right hand, and strips of white light revolved around his extended index finger. The fingertip became brighter and brighter, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire seventh floor of the Eternal Tower, turning it white.

Ilex said indifferently: “Cai’er, you have gone through hardships, and finally walked through the Road to Heaven. At that moment, I had already recognized you as the inheritor. Although you have purified my heart and made me understand how dirty my inheritance is. But what I want to give you has nothing to do with undead magic. It is the purest aura of death that I have condensed since I have been sleeping for thousands of years. You are the body of reincarnation, and you have innate purification power. This death energy of mine fits perfectly with you. Although I can no longer let you inherit my power, this is just a gift I am giving you. You don’t have to refuse, and you can’t refuse. The decision made by Ilex, the Undead Scourge, will definitely be completed. Unless you are willing to abandon Long Haochen and commit suicide, otherwise, you can only gradually absorb the death power that I have released.”

The surrounding white light gradually converged, and finally condensed into a white bead that was only the size of a cherry on Ilex’s fingertip.
