"My lord, the fifty people you asked me to choose are all ready." Crete reported to Allen.
Allen nodded slightly, "Well, okay, let them gather outside the castle gate."
Dawn Island has been sailing at sea for seven or eight days. Allen's life essence has reached more than one million, which is enough to upgrade fifty of his subordinates to the eleventh level.
Of course, this doesn't include trolls.
Allen originally wanted to add a few trolls to this group of candidates for promotion, but later found that there were currently not enough trolls to support.
Perhaps because of their powerful regeneration abilities, trolls consume more than twice as much life force as humans when upgrading their levels.
In other words, if these fifty people were replaced by trolls, the number of promotion places would be reduced to less than twenty-five.
So Allen decided to separate, this time only selecting soldiers from the Ebon Blade Legion.
Although life essence is easy to obtain, the amount required is really too large, especially when so many people have to improve their strength.
Allen is even a little worried now that one day he will kill all the monsters in the black mist, and then he will lose the main source of life essence.
…
There was no ceremony planned for Allen's promotion, but it still attracted many people to watch, especially the trolls who gathered in front to watch.
No one dared to question Allen's order, but they were still very envious, especially the leader of the trolls, Jin Rok - who didn't want the strength of his subordinates to increase rapidly?
Onif was also very curious, and she was watching with the soldiers from the Nord Forest.
It is worth mentioning that Nord Island no longer exists, and the original area was renamed Nord Forest.
…
"My lord will see everything you do, and my lord has never been stingy with his devout people."
Fasqi looked solemn and announced loudly: "And you are the best among them, and my lord decides to reward you."
"Lake, Yorkson, Gordon..."
Fasiqi recited the names, and the selected Ebon Blade soldiers came out one by one.
"Come here."
Allen smiled and waved, and the fifty soldiers stood up one after another, and then knelt in front of Allen with a pious expression.
Allen didn't talk nonsense, put his hand on their heads, and then sent a large amount of life essence into their bodies.
For a time, a thick red mist filled the courtyard.
This is not the first time that some of these soldiers have received the gift from Allen. They still remember the feeling when they gained power before. At this time, their hearts were extremely excited and their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.
The newcomers also heard the veterans talk about the process of gifting, and their hearts were full of expectations.
They peeked at the red mist, and as it integrated into their bodies, surging power surged through their bodies, and their strength increased rapidly.
Have their level been upgraded to level 11 like Crete? They also have blood shield and blood strike.
This made these Ebon Blade soldiers even more excited.
While they were excited, they did not forget the source of their strength. They knelt down to thank Allen again.
"Thank you for your gift, my lord, your will will always dominate our swords!"
At the same time, other people who were watching also knelt down and thanked Allen for bringing them new life and peace.
Now Allen has long been accustomed to such scenes. He turned around calmly and returned to the castle amidst the worship of everyone.
But before he left, he left behind a sentence that made Jinrok and Onif extremely excited:
"The next time is the promotion of Trolls and Nord Forest, you can go back and select people first."
…
Allen walked into the main building of the castle leisurely, preparing to read the report documents of Renault and Kelly on the construction of Dawn Island.
However, before he could sit down, Fasqi suddenly twisted forward.
She said solemnly: "My lord, the old god is here again."
…
…
The so-called old god is none other than Amberly, the goddess of the sea.
This goddess has disappeared for a month and a half, and now she finally appears.
Allen was not prepared to let the goddess know too much information about Dawn Island, so he took Faschi back to the study and closed the door.
Allen asked Nami and Nasha to guard the door, and he met the old goddess alone.
"You finally showed up, Ms. Amberley."
Allen looked helplessly at the expressionless Faschi in front of him.
At this time, her true consciousness had been suppressed, and it was Amberly who was talking to Allen.
"The recovery of strength is too slow. This is already the fastest."
There was also a hint of melancholy in Amberly's tone, "It's the same this time, I won't last long."
After speaking, Amberly looked at Allen and said, "I can feel that you have the power of faith in your body. You succeeded."
Amberly's eyes were full of envy. She wanted to ask Allen how he did it, but she didn't have so much time to waste.
Then, she asked: "Did you go to the place I mentioned?"
"Where are we going? Last time you only told me two very vague directions. You don't know the specific location at all. How do you want me to get there?"
Allen spread his hands helplessly.
This is the truth, Allen did not make any mistakes.
"Oh, then I will tell you where the location is now." Amberly said eagerly.
"Don't worry, let's chat first. I have a lot of questions."
Allen waved his hand and asked directly without waiting for Amberli to refuse: "Why did you fall?"
As soon as Allen's question came out, Amberly fell into silence.
…
After a long silence, Amberli spoke again: "This is a long story, but no one knows the specific reason.
It was a disaster without warning. All the gods' kingdoms fell from the sky, and bright lights streaked across the night sky like meteors.
Mortals enjoy an unprecedented beauty, while the gods usher in dusk.
The power of the gods was also rapidly draining away. In just a few days, my strength was as strong as that of a legendary strongman among mortals.
Those gods with low divine power even lost their bodies, and their souls began to wander around the world like ghosts, and they could only rely on the bodies of believers to survive."
Amberley paused for a moment and continued,
"This made me feel the disaster coming, and I took back all the clones directly.
But this still couldn't stop the loss of divine power. Soon, I also felt that there was no way to escape the fate of falling.
So, when I was still able to control my own power, I split my soul and separated my body from my soul.
After doing this, I descended into the body of a Naga, and my divine power was extremely weak.
I used my last divine power to freeze my body, take my soul to another place, and hide it with the same seal.
After consuming the last trace of divine power, my soul dissipated, and my consciousness began to fall, sinking into the astral realm of the tomb of the gods.
But I have no regrets, because the other gods had the same result as me, they all fell into the star world and fell into deep sleep.
In fact, they are even more miserable, and even their godhood has begun to be completely broken and completely dissipated."
After Amberley finished telling her story, Allen was both shocked and confused.
Although Allen does not fear gods, he has to admit that gods are very powerful existences and can even be immortal.
But now the answer he got was that the gods had fallen unconsciously.
Therefore, although there were many things in Amberly's words that Allen didn't understand, what he was most confused about was,
"Then you finally figured out what caused your divine power to be lost? Is it the black mist?"
"Some gods guessed it was black mist."
After saying that, Amberli shook her head again, "But more gods speculated that it was the world of Aosen that took back all the power."
