Scar didn't believe Adrian and asked, "You say you're a god, so what kind of god are you?""I am the Death God," Adrian replied, his figure starting to float, his voice echoing faintly and mysteriously."So, are you saying I'm already dead?" Scar nearly choked with laughter, thinking the man in front of him was just a lunatic pretending to be a god."Some people, even though they live, are already dead," Adrian said, suddenly appearing in front of Scar. "So, do you want to live, or do you want to die?" With a spell, he effortlessly lifted Scar off the ground, making him float alongside him.As Adrian carried Scar higher and higher, Scar started trembling. "Death God, what do you want me to do?" he asked."Be my spokesperson throughout the world," Adrian replied, stopping the spell. Scar immediately began descending rapidly. Strangely, Adrian remained opposite Scar, maintaining a relatively stationary position. Terrified, Scar shouted for help.Just as they were about to land, Sca
As soon as he finished speaking, Adrian activated the third seal of the Draco Veinergy, altering the hothead’s fate. The man immediately perished violently, blood flowing uncontrollably as if subjected to a brutal execution."Ray! Ray!" a rough-looking thug cried out, rushing forward to embrace the hothead. He glared at Adrian, eyes brimming with resentment."No one defies the Death God," Adrian declared. He then invoked the fire law within his small world. Pale, ghostly flames engulfed the thug, burning him to death."You are all beyond redemption. Because of your pleas, I had intended to spare your lives, but it seems..." Adrian lamented to Scar.Scar understood, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Death God, grant us another chance."Seeing this, the others followed suit, kneeling and weeping. The ghastly fate of the ones who had spoken out was vivid in their minds. Better to be alive than dead—an ancient adage that resonated deeply. Everyone questioned Adri
The entire island was unified. Only Scar had truly seen the Death God, and anyone else who slandered the Death God or made negative remarks was dealt with by Adrian, who used the power of laws to sentence them to death.Death God Island, the origin of the Death God's Shadow Court, was filled with miracles. Within a 160 km radius, there were about a hundred islands, which was only the first step in Adrian's plan. He had plenty of time to play with these hundred thousand people.Scar remembered Adrian's instructions. As Death God Island became more reliable, it began to expand outward. The first target was Cloud Island, home to about eight hundred people. Scar, a true barbarian, deployed five hundred fully armed soldiers against a disorganized, ragtag army, making the outcome predictable.The inhabitants were gathered and asked if they believed in the Death God. Those who believed lived; those who didn't were killed. It was simple and brutal. Adrian found Scar's methods interesting; a
But Adrian wouldn't tolerate continued evil deeds. While these criminals were indeed wicked, entering the Exile Realm meant transitioning from chaos to order.Scar declared himself a servant of the Death God, leading ninety thousand people in prayers day and night. Under his leadership, the Shadow Court grew stronger. Initially, anyone who simply believed in death could enter, but now only the chosen were admitted.Interestingly, Adrian discovered nearly ten thousand fervent believers among them. These fanatics had unwavering faith in the Death God, their contributions of faith exceptionally pure. This surprised him greatly. He also realized that that great entity sought exceedingly pure faith, treating their strength with reverence and dedicating themselves to extending life.At times, Adrian responded to his followers' prayers. For instance, when a female follower asked Adrian to name her child, he left behind a name. When some followers prayed for rain to relieve drought in their
Adrian possessed the ability to wield the powers of time, thunder, fire, and water laws up to the level-eight tier within the Exile Realm. Additionally, he could use Draco Veinergy on creatures within the realm without depleting their lifespan.However, there were clear restrictions. Using any of these powers required consuming law fragments, which were generated and accumulated by the Exile Realm through the evolution of the entire world. Whether Adrian employed time acceleration or utilized thunder, fire, and water powers for attacks, he needed to expend law fragments. Once these fragments were used up, he had to wait for the Exile Realm to replenish them over time.Law fragments for the time law accumulated at a rate of one piece per year, each capable of accelerating time at any speed for one month. Spatial law fragments functioned similarly, although Adrian hadn't yet detected their accumulation; it was expected to be comparable to time law fragments.He carefully monitored the
Law fragments could be perceived as individual pieces with specific functions, while the power of faith was like a drop of dawn that remained calm from its inception. Due to his Earthly origins, Adrian placed great emphasis on thinking and logic, the ability to reason in both direct and reverse ways. He felt there had to be a connection between them, so with a mindset of experimentation, he fused basic laws.The laws of thunder, water, and fire blended together seamlessly into Adrian's right hand. At the same time, a drop of faith appeared on his left hand, and something miraculous happened. The mixed fragments on his right hand unexpectedly carried a hint of the power of faith as if it were an incomplete version of faith power. Or rather, faith itself was formed by the fusion of basic laws.It was only then Adrian understood why the entity sought law fragments. It was to ultimately fuse them into faith power. However, what he did not understand was why the entity did not collect t
Adrian returned to the Southern Sea. Due to the collapse of the sky, humanity had to confront the daemons head-on. Over a thousand years of reproduction, the number of daemons had swelled to an uncountable number, and Adrian moved stealthily among them."Sir, look, another kid seeking death.""Hmph, another clueless young man thinking he can hone his skills with a few tricks?"The crowd mocked as Adrian charged into the daemon swarm. Such reckless behavior often came from young nobles or elders' descendants from prestigious factions who were overconfident and under-skilled."This kid will be dead within seconds," someone in the crowd said. There was no way Adrian would engage in such a risky venture. He targeted lower-level daemons. Using his Fog Barrier, he hid within and brought up the portal to the Exile Realm.In Adrian's view, these daemons were like headless flies, darting around aimlessly. Some were trampled to death, others injured, but gradually, many daemons fell into
"Hehe." The man chuckled. "There have been quite a few daemon attacks recently. How about joining us? If you join us, it'll be easier for you to handle those daemons too."Adrian waved dismissively. His pause earlier had been purely out of courtesy and curiosity about these peoples’ intentions. If they were merely asking for directions, that would be fine, but if they harbored malicious intentions, Adrian would not mind teaching them a lesson."Are you sure about this?" the man asked. His hand subtly moved, and the other four men approached with smirks.Pretending ignorance, Adrian asked, "Have I done something that upset you? If so, I'm willing to offer an apology. How about it?"The man was taken aback for a moment, and a sly-looking man with a treacherous face interjected, "Sir, don't waste time talking to him. Let's take him down, and everything will be ours.""Aren't you afraid that I'm an apprentice of a major faction?" Adrian asked coldly."Hmph, if you weren't from a majo
