Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 311 About the Protoss

Ye Yulong and Ye Qingxin stood to the side and exchanged a glance.

They had just noticed Ye Ge's amazing feat of sealing the five-headed ghost king all by himself.

Moreover, it seems that the five-headed ghost king was not ultimately sealed away by him.

Instead, at the very last moment, he willingly entered into a soul contract with Ye Ge.

What exactly happened in that instant that made the Five-Headed Demon King show such a terrified expression?

"Ah."

Night Owl nodded; he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

Anyway, that brat won't tell...

He then turned to look at the others present: "Where is the others? Is anyone injured?"

“…No.” A Night Clan warrior replied.

There are several top-tier experts here; a mere dozen or so ghost kings cannot harm them.

“That’s fine then,” Night Owl said. “But speaking of which, why are there so many undead warriors at the Ghost King level here?”

“I suddenly remembered something.” Bai Jian seemed to recall something at this moment, paused, and said, “The armor worn by those undead warriors just now seems to be an old model of warrior armor from Bai City years ago.”

Duan Ye was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, he seemed to recall something as well: "It really does seem to be... And I remember, this kind of armor is at least a hundred years old, right? No wonder it looks so familiar..."

Night Owl narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Wang En captured the former extraordinary warriors of White City and conducted some kind of experiment on them. After those warriors died, they became ghosts and spirits because of their resentment and anger... But why would he do that?"

Gao Shenxue arrived at the place where the undead creatures had been stored. After examining it closely, she discovered many special characters on the ground, forming a kind of ritualistic array.

“It seems this isn’t just a rune science lab,” Gao Shenxue said softly. “It’s also an altar.”

Night Song asked, "The altar?"

“These are the characters of the gods on the ground,” Gao Shenxue said. “The array formed by these characters is the altar array used by humans in ancient times when they prayed to the gods for power.”

"Praying to the gods for power?" Bai Qing frowned. "Is there any necessary connection between that and the spatial energy transmission device here?"

“Human power is insufficient to operate a spatial gate that is so large in area, so wide in scope, and so far in distance.” Gao Shenxue paused and said, “My guess is that Wang En captured these warriors here and used their life force as a sacrifice to exchange for the power to control space from the god who controls space.”

Li Shuying was utterly astonished: "So, Wang En actually has connections with the gods?! And he actually used the lives of living people as sacrifices?! This...this...the gods actually responded to him by doing this, and were willing to give him power?"

Night Song said softly, "The gods are high above. They only know that when someone offers sacrifices and prays to them for power through sacrifice, they are in a good mood and gain 'faith points' from believers of all races, so they will naturally give them power. As for what the sacrifices are, why would they care?"

Li Shuying's expression was complicated: "But... using living people as sacrifices is just too inhumane. Shouldn't gods be kind? How could they..."

"Ha!" The orc Mongo burst out laughing upon hearing this, gruffly saying, "Human girl, if you believe the gods are benevolent, you're incredibly naive! The gods are just one of the myriad races on Earth! They are 'gods' because they achieved final victory in the ancient war between all races, thus they are high above, controlling all extraordinary powers in the world, and are the creators of the rules and order of this world! Do you think rulers who have created these world rules can be benevolent? Hahahahahaha..."

"Besides, what's wrong with using living people as sacrifices? Don't you humans often use live livestock as sacrifices too?"

Mongo paused, then continued, "The reason you humans think it's okay and reasonable to use livestock as sacrifices is because deep down you consider them lowly creatures! But don't forget, your human race ranks only 93rd among all races! Do you think that in the eyes of those gods who are ranked first by a huge margin, your human status is much higher than that of livestock?"

"..." Li Shuying was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ye Ge crossed his arms and remained silent.

O gods...

In fact, as a player of the game "Tales of Races", he was very clear about the future storyline of humanity.

In the distant future, after countless versions...

Humanity will be judged by the gods!

The human race developed too quickly, and their terrifying potential was seen as a threat by the gods.

Thus, they faced the crisis of extermination...

There will be a massive update in the future that will almost completely overturn the old maps and dungeons. Night Song still clearly remembers the name of that version: "The Era of Destruction".

The familiar map of the human empire, with its various city-states, has been completely destroyed...

The surviving humans then embarked on a path of rebellion against the gods.

The game also features "Ultimate Dungeons" where players battle various cosmic beings who wield extraordinary powers. Each dungeon can accommodate a team of at least 20 players...

Even so, until Ye Ge transmigrated to this world, the players in the game had not defeated even the weakest god-level boss, not even once...

Ye Ge let out a deep breath.

Of course, these are all things to come, things that will happen hundreds of years from now.

"It seems that Wang En found the altar of the ancient civilization and thus obtained the method to pray to the gods for divine power."

"That's something I didn't expect," said Night Owl.

It should be noted that currently, Ji Lian is the only divine mage in the empire, meaning that only the imperial family possesses the ability to perform rituals and prayers.

I never expected that Wang En would have one too.

Bai Jian frowned slightly as he looked at the corpses of the undead warriors on the ground.

Soon, the corpses of those undead warriors turned into a pool of white water, which then gradually turned into white smoke and disappeared...

Ye Yulong looked at Ye Xiao: "So what should we do now?"

Night Owl said slowly and deliberately, "Nicholas's vampire army has already invaded the Southern Territory through the spatial portal. If the vampires really occupy the Southern Territory, our Night City won't be any better off. So we must now find Wang En's other spatial energy transmission base stations, destroy them all, and then..."

"Wait a minute," Ye Ge suddenly interrupted.

Night Owl looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Ye Ge didn't respond, but walked up to Bai Jian.

"General Bai Jian," Ye Ge said, "let me see your Ling Sha Sword."
