I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 635 Don't disappoint me, I can't think about it anymore.

There was no useful information to be gleaned from the old man's expression.

Jiang Chen was slightly disappointed, but gritted his teeth and threw out his question.

He didn't know if the question he asked was right or wrong.

But Jiang Chen had thought a lot in that short time, and he was able to sort out most of the issues himself.

The only problem was that he knew the ghost husband wanted to kill him, and he also learned from the old man that the reason lay in his second source skill.

Jiang Chen couldn't figure out why this was happening.

The old man seemed to be drinking tea, but Jiang Chen had a feeling that the old man was actually looking at him. After he finished speaking, the two fell silent.

The wind seemed to have stopped, all the plants and trees were silent, and the entire secret realm was extremely quiet.

Snapped!

The old man put down his teacup, making a slight clinking sound, which at that moment was like a thunderclap in a clear sky.

The old man always had a smile on his face, but Jiang Chen would not let his guard down because of that.

Such beings are truly impossible to judge by their emotions.

Jiang Chen was very patient, waiting for the old man to speak.

After a moment, the old man finally spoke, "You are very pragmatic and haven't strayed from the essence."

Jiang Chen could tell that this was a compliment.

The old man continued, "The Ghost Husband should have told you that the blood of the Source Bird was refined into the Nine Syllable Mantra, and the Nine Syllable Mantra was further divided into nine 'Primordial Runes,' which in turn became Source Skills." Jiang Chen nodded; the Ghost Husband had indeed said that.

Although he believed it at the time, he didn't believe it completely.

When the old man's eyes fell on the teacup, Jiang Chen immediately understood and poured him a cup.

However, he did not pour himself any tea. This tea was too precious, and he would not pour it until the old man gave the order.

The old man picked up his tea and took a small sip. “My husband isn’t lying. You don’t need to doubt it.”

"However, he still concealed something. The Origin Skills, the 'Primal Runes,' and the Nine Syllable Mantra all originate from the same source; ultimately, they all stem from the bloodline of the Origin Bird."

"When someone masters a source skill, the impact is not significant."

"If one masters multiple source skills and integrates them, it may be possible to return to one's ancestral origin."

Jiang Chen looked surprised. "Returning to the ancestral source? Can the bloodline of the Origin Bird be reproduced and the Nine True Words be refined anew?" The old man chuckled. "You're thinking too simply. Of course, that's impossible."

Jiang Chen thought about it and agreed; it couldn't be that simple.

The bloodline is divided into nine parts, with each mantra representing only one-ninth of the bloodline.

And the source skills he obtained did not know what fraction of one of the mantras they represented.

It can be described as a fragment within a fragment. To think that one could recreate the bloodline of the Origin Bird with such a fragment is simply creating something out of nothing and is wishful thinking.

Jiang Chen almost laughed at his own thoughts.

The old man said, "Although it is impossible to reproduce the bloodline of the Origin Bird, there is a chance to master the Nine Syllable Mantra."

"It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to achieve with just one source skill."

"However, if multiple source skills are used to verify and integrate with each other, there is hope." Although the old man did not answer directly, Jiang Chen already understood.

The reason why the ghost husband wanted to kill him was because he didn't want him to obtain a second source skill.

If I had chosen to withdraw from the assessment at that time, he wouldn't have been hostile towards me.

You've unintentionally made a major enemy.

Jiang Chen could only sincerely hope that the other party would not leave the secret realm and would stay here forever.

As for myself, I probably won't come back here again in this lifetime.

As for what impact obtaining a second source skill will have on Ghost Husband.

Jiang Chen didn't ask any more questions, knowing he wouldn't get an answer anyway.

The old man had already mentioned that he and the ghost husband were making a bet, which was probably related to this.

Jiang Chen sincerely said to the old man, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. If I encounter the Ghost Husband in the future, I will be careful." The old man laughed and said, "You're thinking that it would be best if he could never leave the secret realm, and you would never see him again."

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly, realizing he'd been right again. "Do you have mind-reading abilities?"

"People just get wiser with age."

The old man said it casually, then tapped the table twice.

Jiang Chen understood; the old man was telling him that this was the second question.

The old man only gave me one chance to ask a question, and I've already used it, so I shouldn't ask again.

Strength determines status. With the old man's strength, he has the right to speak, and he even gets a cup of tea to elevate his spiritual level.

Jiang Chen was filled with gratitude.

If the old man was unwilling, I wouldn't even have the right to stand before him. The old man said, "In this world, there were a few decent people in the last era. They led the times forward, but unfortunately, they went astray."

"Their decline has been perpetuated by time, which in turn has affected you, making your path even more difficult."

"More than 1000 years ago, a good fellow appeared, but unfortunately he failed to become a leader of the times."

"More than 600 years ago, there was also a guy with decent talent, but unfortunately he didn't have enough stamina."

“More than 100 years ago, another one appeared. He was energetic, but too conservative and not a suitable candidate.”

The old man's gaze swept over Jiang Chen. "I wonder if you are qualified to become the guide of this world in this era."

Jiang Chen replied, "I will try my best."

"I hope you can do it and not let this old man down!"

The old man waved his hand. Heaven and earth were upside down, and the sun and moon changed.

Jiang Chen disappeared into the secret realm.

The old man looked at the pavilion and muttered to himself, "Ghost husband, ghost husband, the loopholes you can find are all things I willingly let you find."

"This is just a minor punishment. If there is a next time, you will be annihilated."

As they spoke, a thunderclap resounded in the secret realm, and a sudden gust of wind blew into the pavilion.

Screams suddenly erupted from the pavilion; it was the voice of the ghost husband.

The old man ignored him and slowly said, "Little fellow, don't disappoint me."

Outside the secret realm, Jiang Chen suddenly appeared.

A meteorite happened to fall from the sky, landing right next to Jiang Chen, less than ten meters away. With a deafening roar, a shockwave swept over him.

Jiang Chen let the shockwave from the explosion hit him, and a faint white light emanated from his body.

All skills have been restored, and the damage transfer skill is now in effect, redirecting all damage to the undead legion.

Damage transfer skills are affected by talents, all damage is weakened by 80 times, and the damage that the undead legion can withstand is extremely limited.

Even if dozens more meteorites of this magnitude exploded, Jiang Chen wouldn't even flinch.

Looking at the entrance to the secret realm that was glittering in the explosion, and then at the "Primal Runes" that had disappeared from the backs of his hands.

Everything is real; it's not a dream.

Having completed the assessment, he permanently preserved the "Primal Runes," transforming them into source skills and skill cores that were integrated into his soul.

From now on, these skills will be mine forever. Moreover, because of my near-perfect performance, the two source skills I acquired not only didn't weaken, but became even stronger than before.

Jiang Chen took out the dragon scale given to him by Antares and activated it.

Antares had his eyes closed and his head drooping on the ground, seemingly asleep.

Antares's eyelids twitched from time to time, indicating that he was not asleep.

The heavy breathing coming out of Antares's nose also proved that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

It hasn't let go of the matter of the Dragon God.

Antares had already swallowed the Dragon Ball given to him by the Dragon God. Although he hated the Dragon God, the Dragon Ball was a really good thing, and Antares couldn't possibly refuse it.

It is fusing the Dragon Balls, which will take quite some time.

Suddenly Antares opened his eyes, and Jiang Chen appeared not far away.

"Why is that brat back?" he thought to himself, about to speak, when he saw Jiang Chen with his eyes tightly closed.

Antares realized something and, instead of disturbing Jiang Chen, winked at him knowingly.

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and all the noise disappeared.

"What's that brat thinking about? It seems a bit of a brain teaser."

Antares was somewhat curious.

It knew that Jiang Chen was very smart; most things, as long as Jiang Chen grasped a little detail, he could analyze a lot of information from it.

It paid a considerable price for this.

Jiang Chen often caught her out of her loopholes in her words.

Even it itself didn't know how many times it had misspoke, so it could only try to speak as little as possible. In its eyes, Jiang Chen was just a little fox, a little fox who liked to trick dragons into talking.

It just didn't expect that Jiang Chen had run into an old fox, and didn't get much information out of him.

Jiang Chen kept replaying everything that happened in the secret realm in his mind, analyzing every word and every detail of what the ghost husband and the old man had said.

It also sorted out all the scenes it saw in the secret realm one by one.

The experience in the secret realm is like a movie, constantly replaying in my mind.

Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that he was getting closer to a huge secret.

Before I knew it, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

He thought of a saying: The more the weak know, the faster they die!

"No, we can't continue exploring. If we keep thinking about it, something bad will happen."

"There must be a reason why we can't know what's happening outside. I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore!"
