"Congeal!"

Jiang Han stood between heaven and earth, as if he was oblivious to the noise of the crowd below. With just one word, he spoke like thunder, rushing straight into the sky and shaking the air.

As he finished speaking, a brilliant divine light shone from his fingertips, like a thin thread that traveled through time and space, piercing the depths of the soul of the Stone-Eating Rat with precision and accuracy. In an instant, in the rolling dark clouds in the sky, thousands of lightning beads seemed to be summoned, scrambling to gather on that tiny soul, and slowly and firmly penetrated into it, strand by strand.

But within a few breaths, the soul of the Stone-Eating Rat gradually solidified, and flesh and blood slowly took shape in the void. The originally weak breath fluctuations gradually strengthened, like the rising dawn, warm and full of hope.

Boom!

With a dull thud, the body of the stone-eating rat was completely reborn under the baptism of thunder and lightning, and perfectly merged with the soul. The power of life reached its peak at this moment.

"First the soul is revived, then the body is reshaped!"

"It truly came alive, just like us!"

The people around were all shocked when they saw this scene, with disbelief in their eyes.

"Am I...am I still alive..."

The reborn Stone-Eating Rat seemed a little confused, its empty eyes wandering around. When its eyes met those of the Level 9 Shadow Rat, intense joy and excitement instantly welled up in its eyes.

"My dear, you are really back. That's great!" The voice of the Level 9 Shadow Rat trembled slightly, and her excitement was beyond words. She flashed, leaving a trail of shadows, and in an instant she was beside the Stone-Eating Rat.

"Child, how is our child?" The Stone-Eating Rat looked at the Shadow Rat, feeling a little uneasy, and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, he's fine." Shadow Rat consoled him, and then led the Stone-Eating Rat to bow deeply to Jiang Han, "Senior, we have no way to repay your kindness. If you don't mind, we are willing to follow you until death and serve you as our master."

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it. Besides, your child and I are destined to be together, so let him stay with my disciple and grow up together." Jiang Han responded calmly, with a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the seniors."

The Level 9 Shadow Mouse was extremely respectful and pleaded, "Senior, my child has not yet been named. You are the benefactor of our family. Please give him a name."

"Then let's call him Beibei." Jiang Han said without hesitation, with a hint of kindness in his words.

At this time, three level eight warriors, Nick Dabu of the Holy See of Light, Oaks of the Holy See of Darkness, and the military commander of the Kingdom of Fenlai, almost simultaneously stepped forward and extended a sincere invitation to Jiang Han, hoping to make friends with him. In the distance, more forces were ready to make a move, but due to the pressure from the three major forces, they could only watch from afar.

"Senior, you can bring the dead back to life, so you can definitely help me rebuild my body and break free from the shackles!" Doehring Cowart's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and his tone was filled with excitement.

“Of course, that’s out of the question.” Jiang Han smiled, “But I won’t take any action. You should stay by Lin Lei’s side and wait for him to grow up, and then he can help you.”

"Senior, you are far-sighted. I understand." Doehring Cowart sighed softly, understanding Jiang Han's deep meaning.

Rumble-

Just as the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness sent out invitations again, a huge black sickle pierced through the clouds in the dark sky and suddenly appeared. The sickle seemed to be born from nothingness, extremely sharp, suspended in the sky, exuding a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere.

"That...what is that thing!"

The appearance of the pitch-black sickle instantly attracted everyone's attention. The ominous aura made people feel terrified, as if it was a curse from a forbidden land!
"It has returned to the underworld, but you called it back. This is against the law and you should be punished!" A low and cold voice suddenly sounded from the sky, as if it came from the underworld, making people shudder.

"The underworld? What kind of place is that?!"

"Is that where we go after we die?"

"Who is speaking? Where is he? Is he alive or dead?"

Everyone was talking about it, feeling terrified, their eyes fixed on the sickle hanging in the sky, trying to find the owner behind it.

"The Underworld? Could it be the legendary supreme realm?" Doehring Cowart's expression changed drastically, as if he had realized something.

"My husband has returned, and no one can take him away again!" The Level 9 Shadow Rat raised his head and confronted him with a firm tone.

Bang!

The whispers in the sky stopped abruptly, and the huge black sickle suddenly moved, tearing through the space and instantly reaching the heads of the ninth-level shadow rats and stone-eating rats.

"No... don't hurt my husband!" Shadow Rat roared and was about to resist, but was instantly restrained by the black light released by the sickle and could not move.

Then, the sharp edge of the sickle was aimed at the stone rat.

Facing the terrifying power emanating from the sickle, a trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Stone Eater Rat. In the face of absolute strength, they had no power to fight back.

"Aili, take good care of Beibei." The Stone Rat looked at the Shadow Rat affectionately, then looked up at the sickle, and slowly closed his eyes, as if welcoming his fate.

"Senior, please...save my husband!" Yingshu shouted at Jiang Han for help.

clang--

Just as the sickle was about to fall, a huge hand appeared out of nowhere and swept out. With the roar of metal collision, the black sickle shattered in an instant, turned into stardust, and dissipated in the air.

At the same time, the terrifying pressure that enveloped Shadow Rat also disappeared.

"Thank you, thank you, senior..." Yingshu thanked Jiang Han again. She knew very well that except him, no one else had such ability.

"Who are you!"

As the sickle shattered, a huge black crack appeared in the sky, and the same low sound was heard again.

Then, a figure wrapped in black mist and with a blurred face slowly walked out of the crack.

"Standing in the air, another Saint Domain expert!"

"Is he really a messenger from the underworld?"

"Is he alive or dead?"

"This matter must be reported to His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible!"

...Everyone looked at the black mist figure confronting Jiang Han from a distance, and couldn't help but gasp, their horror beyond words.

You are just a messenger from the underworld. Even if the Lord of Death himself comes here, he can't snatch anyone from my grasp! " Jiang Han looked at the blurry figure entangled in the thick black fog with a gleam of contempt in his eyes, as if the other party was not worth mentioning at all in his eyes.

"How dare you!" The messenger from the underworld heard the sound and shouted angrily. Then, tens of thousands of crows seemed to appear out of thin air. They carried the cold breath of death and flapped their wings and swooped down towards Jiang Han.

However, just as these Netherworld crows were about to cover the sky and approach Jiang Han, a deafening dragon roar resounded through the clouds, and those densely packed crows instantly disappeared, as if they were blown away by an invisible force.

From the eyes of the underworld messenger, two blood-red rays shot out through the swirling black fog and locked onto the illusory thousand-foot golden dragon behind Jiang Han. He frowned slightly, and quickly intertwined his hands, and began to perform some kind of secret technique.

"Ming Kui!" Following the deep curse of the underworld messenger, the sky over the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range suddenly changed color! The already gloomy sky now added a touch of blood-red light that made people's hearts flutter.

"This... Is this really the power that the strong ones in the Holy Land can display?" The onlookers from various forces such as the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness were shocked and stared blankly at the changed sky.

The blood-red light quickly spread to the sky, and in front of the messenger of the underworld, a huge giant ten thousand feet tall gradually condensed into shape. This giant was also surrounded by black fog, his face was blurred, and he held a blood-red giant axe in his hand, emitting a chilling murderous aura.

"Roar!" A roar that seemed to come from the ancient times erupted from the giant's mouth and resounded through the sky. The terrifying sound waves echoed in the valley, causing the surrounding trees to tremble and branches to fly.

This giant is like a hungry and thirsty beast. Its roar contains terrifying cruelty and tyranny, and is full of endless destruction and killing, as if its existence itself means the most terrible disaster in the world.

Suddenly, the black fog giant moved, and two red lights shot out of his eyes. He glanced at the onlookers below indifferently, and finally focused on Jiang Han. With waves of heavy friction, a brutal and violent aura surged out of his body and spread everywhere.

"Even if His Holiness faces such a monster, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the black fog giant, not only the people of the Church of Light, but all the onlookers below, and even the two level nine rats, all had their faces changed drastically.

Rumble—the black fog giant walked in the air, and every step caused the surrounding void to distort and deform.

In a flash, the huge body stood in front of Jiang Han.

Swish! The blood-red giant axe swung down, the axe blade rubbed against the air, and the blood-red light above the Warcraft Forest surged and gathered on the axe blade.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the hearts of all the spectators suddenly tightened, as if they were suppressed and unable to move by the violent aura of the giant axe. A suffocating feeling of oppression arose spontaneously.

However, facing such a horrifying attack, Jiang Han appeared unusually calm, as if he was unaware of the approaching danger.

Just as the axe blade was about to chop off Jiang Han's head, he just casually stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly.

Crack! The blood-red giant axe shattered at Jiang Han's fingertips, and the cracks quickly spread to the giant wrapped in black mist.

Bang! Not only the bloody giant axe, but also the black mist giant that was ten thousand feet tall exploded together. The black blood mist fell from the sky like rain, which was shocking.

Puff! At the same time, the underworld messenger spurted out a mouthful of blood from the black mist, and his breath became disordered.

“No… Impossible…” The black mist around the messenger from the underworld rolled, his voice trembled, and his bloodshot eyes were full of disbelief. He never expected that he would encounter such a powerful existence on this Magnolia Continent!

"If you don't leave now, even the Lord of Death himself will not be able to save you." Jiang Han's eyes focused, and a sharp gaze shot out, directly dispersing the black fog around the messenger of the underworld.

The face of a middle-aged man was revealed, with a scar on his face and bloodshot eyes that made people feel intimidated.

"You broke the rules. No matter who you are, this matter will never be resolved easily!" The messenger from the underworld looked at Jiang Han with fear for the last time, then retreated back into the dark crack and disappeared without a trace.

"Has the visitor from the underworld been defeated?"

After a long time, the bystanders from the Holy See of Light, the Holy See of Darkness and other forces came to their senses and stared blankly at the disappearing black hole in the sky.

At the same time, the shadow of the thousand-foot-high golden dragon behind the mysterious man of unknown origin dissipated, and he slowly landed next to the two level-ninth rats.

"Husband, it's okay, we are all safe." The Level 9 Shadow Rat hugged the Level 9 Stone-Eating Rat tightly and knelt down to thank Jiang Han again.

"Senior, I am inviting you on behalf of the Holy See of Light (the Holy See of Darkness)..."

"I have no time for this. Please go back to where you came from."

Before the people from the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness could finish speaking, Jiang Han interrupted them with a wave of his hand, and then flew to the Baruch family mansion with Linley, Hogg, Hillman and others.

Looking at Jiang Han's receding back, the people of the Light Church and the Dark Church looked unhappy. In the Yulan Continent, their status was so respected that no one dared to reject their request so directly. But the man in front of them didn't even give them a chance to finish their words.

If they had not taken the other party's strength into consideration, they would have been furious.

"Go back to the Vatican!" The leaders of the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness gave the order at the same time, and then left in a hurry.
-
Temple of Light, top floor.

A slender, bald, middle-aged man in a white robe sat calmly at the head of the table. He was none other than Pope Hastings of the Holy See of Light.

He listened quietly to his subordinates' reports, and when he finished hearing everything, ripples appeared on his originally calm face.

"Resurrecting a Level Nine Stone Devouring Rat? Someone from the Underworld?"

Pope Heitings stood up, stared at the reporter, his expression became extremely serious, and asked loudly: "Is this true?"

Under the pressure of Haitings, the reporter's knees weakened and he fell to the ground. He quickly replied, "Your Holiness, how dare I lie to you! I saw it with my own eyes, it is absolutely true! The Dark Church, the commander of Fenlai City, and many others witnessed it with their own eyes."

"How could such a person appear in the Yulan Continent? Who is he?"

Pope Hettings muttered to himself, frowning, "Go, find out everything about him quietly!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!" The reporter clasped his fists, bowed deeply, and quickly retreated.

In the vast Magnolia Continent, there are numerous countries and forces scattered like stars, but in this vast land, the ones that truly lead the trend and influence the direction of destiny are only the four empires, the three far-reaching forces, and the two alliances forged by faith.

The four great empires are like four pillars supporting the structure of the Magnolia Continent. The O'Brien Empire is famous for its long history and profound cultural heritage. The mottled traces on the city walls tell of its past glory and vicissitudes. The Magnolia Empire, sitting in the heart of the continent, is prosperous. Its capital, Magnolia City, is a shining pearl that combines art and power. The Luoao Empire has a vast territory, abundant resources, hardworking and intelligent people, and a continuous flow of domestic trade and a prosperous economy. The Rhine Empire is proud of its military strength, and its cavalry is invincible. The knights of the empire swear to defend the glory of every inch of land.

Outside of these giants, three major forces are like hidden undercurrents, quietly influencing the continent's pattern. They may be secretive cultivation sects that master ancient cultivation secrets; or merchant alliances that control the continent's economic lifeline; or mysterious assassin organizations that carry out unspeakable missions, and every move is enough to shake the situation.

As for the two major alliances, their existence is like the eternal day and night over the Yulan Continent, and the contest between light and darkness never stops. The Holy Alliance, a union that believes in the Lord of Light, has members all over the west of the Warcraft Mountains. They wear silver-white battle robes, hold holy light, and vow to eliminate all evil in the world and bring hope and peace to people. The Dark Alliance, located south of the Warcraft Mountains, is a gathering place for believers who worship the Lord of Darkness. They wear the night, walk between shadows and fog, believe in the laws of strength and survival, and believe that only the strong are worthy of everything in this world.

Since the two alliances were established, the struggle between them has been like a flame that never goes out on the continent. The conflicts and confrontations are not only a clash of beliefs, but also a contest of wisdom and courage. Every confrontation adds a rich and colorful stroke to the historical picture of this continent. In this endless dispute, heroes emerge, legendary stories are sung, and the future of Yulan Continent is quietly taking shape in these changes. (End of this chapter)
