Chapter 1017: Informing the Worlds

Li Zongming suggested, "Perhaps we can simply extract the world's energy from the world of black rain."

Zhang Lie shrugged. "I wouldn't recommend it myself—there isn't much left."

"Indeed."

After the death spirit king suppressed the decaying king, he sucked up the world's energy that it possessed, attempting to drain it of all its resources.

To the other superior worlds, the current state of the world of black rain made it rather unpalatable. Much of the world's energy had already been drained from it, and the world itself was half-dead. There wasn't much to be gained from absorbing it—but the situation was different for the Zongming world, which had only recently evolved into a superior world. As a result, its reserves couldn't be compared to those worlds that had existed since antiquity.

Much of the world's energy from the world of black rain had be sucked away by the death spirit king; there was little remaining—at least, relative to what the other superior worlds possessed. For the newly evolved Zongming world, it would provide no small benefit.

None of the other superior worlds would care about the ruined world of black rain, but the newly evolved Zongming world was different. The Zongming world would be able to gain a tremendous boon by merging the worlds together.

Li Zongming couldn't wait. "If it's going to take some time to do so, why don't we try to summon the world of black rain immediately?"

Zhang Lie nodded. "That's not a problem."

Li Zongming immediately infused his energy into the proof of kingship, causing it to beat at a rapid pace.

At that very moment, the frost spirit commander returned with his scant few troops to the white world, where he was met directly by the ice queen. The frost spirit commander knelt in trepidation.

The ice queen waved a hand. "Enough with the formalities. Tell me what happened during the war."

The frost spirit commander recounted the affairs he had witnessed.

The ice queen breathed a sigh of relief. "To think that this would be such an arduous battle—the blood lord actually betrayed the blood king? In the end, however, the death spirit king has been killed, and the three thousand worlds of this realm can gain a measure of peace—but if all that are left of the original troops are these scant few fighters, it must truly have been a devastating battle."

The frost spirit commander was very glad that he hadn't mentioned how 80% of the Zongming world's troops had survived.

The frost spirit commander sighed. "Yes, your majesty. It truly was an overwhelming battle. The death spirit king had managed to develop weapons of war on the level of superior kings, and many of our fighters died as a result.

All the members of the solar corps perished, even their captain."

"Indeed? Excellent!" the ice queen cried out in excitement.

She loved to hear news of the solar king's losses. Most importantly, the captain of his solar corps had died on the battlefield, while her commander was still alive.

The frost spirit commander knew of her distaste for the solar king, and had smartly decided to present her with this information first.

"The forces of the unclean world were entirely wiped out, as was the clone of the king of black fog. The forces of chaos were wiped out, and only a few fighters from the king of keys survived. Even the decaying king itself perished."

The ice queen sighed. "I must thank you for your hard work in helping to kill such an ambitious, frightening existence as the death spirit king, then. It's all thanks to the troops' sacrifice that the three thousand worlds of the realm are safe once more. You all deserve credit."

The frost spirit commander bowed. "Serving the white world is my honor, but I do pity those fallen troops. The king of chaos suggested rewarding the fighters and warriors who have survived the war.

The ice queen nodded. "We'll discuss this during the meeting to be convened. You've also done very well—await my reward. Go and rest, now. There might still be wars up ahead, and I'll need you to take to the battlefield again."

The frost spirit commander was rather shocked. "Another war?"

"It's only a possibility for the moment. We'll see what happens after the meeting—now, go rest!"

A frost spirit attendant entered the chamber just then. "Your majesty, a clone of the king of chaos is here."

Wilbow informed the king of keys of what had happened on the battlefield, who reacted mildly.

The king of keys commented, "I hadn't expected you would be able to take down the death spirit king in one fell swoop. What did you think of the Zongming world's fighters?"

Wilbow replied, "Their commander is excellent, and Zhang Lie's very strong. He's likely beyond the level of an ordinary superior king in strength. He and Nightdemon killed the death spirit king together.

The king of keys replied, "If that's the case, then the upcoming meeting should be very interesting. Wouldn't you agree, king of chaos?"

Black thunder and flames suddenly crossed in mid-air as a double-headed bat appeared before the king of keys.

Its mouth was filled with fangs, and countless star-shaped eyes flashed and moved about its two heads. As its wings flapped, more strange black thunder and flames flashed around it.

"The superior kings' meeting will occur three days later. All kings are expected to show up."

The double-headed bat flapped its wings, then vanished back into the void.

Wilbow asked, "What was that? Why haven't I heard of such an existence—on the level of a superior king, no less—before?"

The king of keys' tone seemed mirthful, but not his voice. "There are plenty of clones of the king of chaos you're not acquainted with."

Wilbow's eyes widened. "Father, you mean to say that that double-headed bat was a clone of the king of chaos?"

"If I'm not mistaken, its name is L'rogg. But is it really a surprise that you haven't heard of it before? There are countless people among the three thousand worlds, and no one knows how many clones the king of chaos possesses. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the king of chaos's clones could form a battalion, each member with the strength of a superior king."

In a world over which a hundred suns hung in the air, a pitch-black, shadowy warrior emerged, a tyrant of the dark. It stood in front of the solar king, golden flames burning all over his body, golden light radiating from his eyes, an expression of intense anger distorting his face...
