I am a living immortal.

In the pitch-black cave, the giant beast stretched its neck. "It feels so good to be free. You want to see me? Hehehe, that depends on whether you are qualified."

The giant beast let out a light breath, and a series of black and red human figures emerged from the cave. Their skin was dark with a red glow, and their faces had no eyes, ears, or nose, only a mouth full of fangs, and a pair of insect wings on their backs. They were skinny with only a bulging abdomen, and they made a "gurgling" sound from time to time.

That's the sound of hunger.

"Taste it, devour it, eat it!! Hehehe."

Such monsters are densely packed in this hole. They crash into the gap connecting the world in a mighty manner. Then the densely packed talismans above the gap light up at the same time. These talismans completely fill the only gap in this hole, and these monsters crashing into the talisman papers are like committing suicide.

Wave after wave crashed forward, and were reduced to ashes.

These monsters seemed to not care about the constant impact of life and death. Under such endless impact, there were always one or two, two or three monsters rushing out from the gaps between the densely stacked talisman papers.

Even if some of them rushed out, only some fragments were left. These fragments squirmed twice and then lost their life, and such monsters were scattered all over the ground.

Until... a monster dragged its mutilated upper body and bit the corpse of another monster. The injuries on its body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a quarter of an hour, it returned to its original state and disappeared on the spot while flapping its wings.

There are very few people as lucky as him, maybe only one in a hundred thousand, a million, or even ten million, but this is enough. They need nutrients, and there they can grow faster without being noticed.

That is... the Eclipse Society.

.........

At the same time, within the Eclipse Cult, believers knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves: "This is the voice of God... This is the voice of God... The oracle... I am willing to dedicate myself..."

The next moment, these cultists were eaten alive. After devouring hundreds of people, these monsters grew human masks on their faces, their pitch-black skin covered with human skin, and flashes of wisdom appeared in their originally violent and greedy eyes. They learned how to disguise themselves.

An even more bizarre existence emerged from the corpses of the Eclipse Society.

He...or they, will look at the world again with God's eyes.

Su Mu's peeping woke up the greedy beast in advance.

Dozens of figures stood on the stone steps forged by the Eclipse Society, muttering, "Si Ming's plan, an unchangeable fate? Haha~ You miscalculated the first step, how will you unfold this plan? As expected, under the erosion of time, even fate cannot withstand the changes in things and people..."

"But this world is really interesting. Humanity... those weak playthings back then are no longer the same as before. Let me play with this human game." The figure standing at the highest point played with a trace of dragon energy in his hand.

"You've disrupted Sima Ming's plan from the very beginning, and arrived hundreds of years early to meet me... I'm curious, who are you?"

…………

When the chains are broken.

The young man in red, who was rushing to the border, suddenly stopped and his expression changed instantly: "Oh no! I've been living in peace for so many years, why is he throwing a tantrum?"

Now the young man in red hesitated and stood at the crossroads of life again. Should he go to the empty gap to have a look, or go to find the unknown immortal? In an instant, he was in a dilemma.

At this moment, the golden tortoise climbed up, pulling the sedan chair with it, panting heavily: "I'm so tired... I'm so tired... After all, we've been together for several lifetimes, how can you be so heartless?"

The young man in red saw a flash of light in the golden turtle's eyes.

"Wait... the look in your eyes... you're not going to do that... No... don't..."

"It's not up to you."

"Xu Guan, you are not a human!!!"

It is said that the golden tortoise flew into the sky while spinning.

"My name in this life is Wang Zhen." Wang Zhen caught the golden tortoise steadily and sighed, "Alas, I still have to go and take a look. If that guy escapes, I won't be able to face my master."

“Turn around!!”

The golden tortoise said dazedly, "Xu Guan, you're really interesting, going back and forth. But I have to remind you that the direction of the Yu Dynasty has changed and has become unclear. One of them may have already stepped in, and the other one will probably have to deal with it. These two behemoths are going to play a big game with the Yu Dynasty. The situation is already confused, and we have to deal with it carefully."

Jingui spoke in a joking tone at first, but became more and more serious as he spoke.

The red-clothed young man's expression changed when he heard this.

He looked up at the sky. Even though he was not far from the imperial capital at this moment, his connection with the imperial dragon energy was weakening. If it was true as Jingui said, that the Yu Dynasty was a chessboard, then it could only be... a struggle for the throne.

"This is a big deal."

He was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but now he was inexplicably kicked off the Diaoyutai. Although he was not cannon fodder, his own safety was still affected to a certain extent.

"I'm going to die. I'm going to die." The situation changed so unexpectedly that his master didn't tell him that something like this would happen.

"Do you think it's too late for me to go back and find my master now?"

"I think it's too late. Besides, you should have some self-awareness. Although you may not be as good as those two, you are a local snake. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. You are too self-deprecating. After all, this is your sixth life experience. Do you really think you are only as old as you look? You are almost 600 years old. Even a pig can fly."

"What you said makes sense." The young man in red seemed to be comforted by the golden turtle...bullshit.

"Have you ever seen a dragon that can break a river with one leg?"

"Well, let's take it one step at a time." Xu Guan or Wang Zhen held his forehead while sitting on the sedan chair. What was going on? He shouldn't have gotten involved in this war for the throne, but now he had to get involved.

Now it's out in the open.

He knew that the Third Prince was backed by the Eclipse Society, and the Crown Prince was backed by the Black Armor Guards, a branch of the Zhenguo Army. This branch was under the control of the human power and was the orthodox one. In particular, there was the Divine Martial General Lou Liang, a master of military tactics. His martial arts skills and thousands of personal guards could defeat a million troops. There was also the Grand Master, who was the current Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Tan Zhuang. None of them were opponents to be underestimated.

The remaining princes also seem to have some backup plans.

If you ask him who is most suitable to be the emperor, it would be the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is the most secretive. He only has an organization called Xiaolou, which is composed of veterans of the martial arts world. His mother's family should not be underestimated either, as well as the eldest prince who has never appeared.

Wang Zhen knew all about the forces behind these things. Just as Xiao Yang, the old man from the Toad Tribe, said, the recent turmoil was caused by the struggle for the throne.

It's just gotten more intense now.
