Chapter 104: Iron-armored Wraith Mordekaiser
[“Hey, wait, I suddenly remembered, is this underworld a new setting?”]
[“That should be the case. I remember that in Su Shen’s worldview, in addition to Shadow Island, there are two theories about the location of the dead souls.”]
[“One is called the Temple of the Ancient Spirits, and the other is called the Spirit World. I’m the first to hear about the Underworld.”]
[“I think it’s probably the same place, just called differently.”]
[“That makes sense, but it looks like that bone hall is fake.”]
[“I think it’s normal for Uzul to be deceived. After all, who can resist the temptation of pursuing immortality, especially the king of a country.”]
After taking a breath, Su Xinghe began to tell the story of Uzul in the underworld.

“In the gray haze, he saw the souls of the dead that merged into the mist, and eventually disappeared completely into the vast underworld.”

"This sight filled him with fear. He was afraid that he would also become invisible in the mist, and his soul would be blown away by the wind."

"The unknown and ruthless situation confused and puzzled him."

"He couldn't believe that the faith he had spent his entire life pursuing was actually all a lie."

"Finally, he got angry!"

"A raging rage!"

"Who is he?"

"Saan Uzur!"

"The absolute king of the former continent, the supreme ruler of every tribe."

"The will is stronger than rock, and it has overcome countless difficulties in life."

"Now, facing death."

"How could he surrender and accept the inevitable outcome?"

"He will never allow his soul to be silent. Even in despair, he will rely on the king's ambition and will--"

"Crush all illusions."

At this moment, Su Xinghe put on the brain-computer interface helmet, and the images in his mind extracted by AI were displayed on the big screen.

It was the image of San Uzur.

[In the afterlife, evil waters flow, dark clouds roll, and souls wither and disappear.]

[But I refuse to retreat. ]

【Death cannot bind me.】

[The hustle and bustle of the world of the living and the silence of the afterlife will all be ruled by me. ]

[If I am not a king, then why——]

[Above the King!!]

[“Oh my god, it’s on fire!”]
[“So big?!”]
[“What a muscular man.”]
[“This metal horn helmet is so cool, can you give me one too?]
[“The King’s Ambition and Will”]
[“This Uzul was so fierce when he was alive. If he survives in the underworld, wouldn’t he become another heaven-defying existence?”]
After a pause, the story continues.

"With overwhelming rage and iron will, Saan Uzul successfully protected his consciousness."

"The terrifying fog did not dissipate his soul."

"After surviving."

"He saw the current situation clearly, and the originally vague direction gradually became clear."

"If--"

"There is no world here that he wants, and nothing here that he is determined to obtain."

"Then, everything will be created by him, Saan Uzul, himself!!"

[I built my kingdom of the afterlife from the ashes.]

[No one, no god! Can stop me from taking back what belongs to me. ]

"During the period of stagnation in the underworld, Uzul gradually gained enlightenment."

“Although this space is empty, if he can understand the true meaning of those whispers, perhaps he can solve all the puzzles.”

"So, he began to study hard and devoted himself to finding the secret of whispers."

"In the long night, countless souls died, but his determination never wavered."

"As time went by, he gradually became able to understand some of the chaotic whispers lingering in his ears."

"As time went on, he was able to understand more and more."

"When the once vague whispers became clearer and clearer, everything gathered and condensed in his mind."

“He finally understood.”

"These languages ​​are actually—"

"Ou Chenyu."

Su Xinghe wrote the word on the whiteboard and then explained its meaning.

"Ou Chenyu."

"The language of the dead in Runeland, a sinful language that does not belong to any living creature." "It belongs only to the king, and can penetrate the realm and pass from the underworld to the human world."

So much for that.

The audience called him the Emperor of Perseverance and were moved by Uzul's will.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the guest seat, had her eyes flickering as she asked Chen Kaige in a low voice:

"Director Chen, I've read Su Xinghe's story collection online before, and the ones that left the deepest impression on me were Callista and the Angel Sisters."

"I think those two plots are very exciting, but the one we are listening to today is all about Uzul's life experience."

"It feels like there's nothing special about it, even a little bland."

After hearing this, Chen Kaige burst into laughter: "Xiaomei Liu, you may not understand why we males admire this kind of strong man with a kingly temperament."

"You may think it's dull, but we enjoy watching it."

"But he is a tyrant."

"Well, it's just a fictional story. You can ask if anyone here would be afraid of this Uzul."

"Although he is a villain, it does not prevent us from looking forward to his story."

"Think about it the other way around. If the villain is not strong, how can we show the bravery and fearlessness of other good characters?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Ah, so that's how it is!"

Liu Ciping chuckled and added:

"And this time is different from the past. The development history of an empire must be full of vicissitudes and epic feelings."

"To create this feeling, you have to sacrifice something. Su Xinghe chose character creation and gave up the fierce conflicts in the plot."

After listening, Liu Yifei nodded gratefully:

"Now I really understand. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for clearing up my confusion."

After Ou Chenyu's interpretation was completed.

Su Xinghe continued:
"After mastering the Ochen language, Uzul began to spread news to the human world."

--Hello!
——My name is Saan Uzul, and I want to tell you that I am still alive.

——It’s just unfortunately that I’m now buried in a grave and can’t get out.

- If any of you can rescue me, I will bring you
——Unbeatable power and endless eternity.

"The promise of Sarn Uzul soon reached the ears of those who knew the history."

"So, a group of ambitious wizards summoned him back from the underworld."

"They spared no expense to create a black and white armor that mimicked his style when he was alive, and sealed his spirit inside it."

"When the spirit and the armor formed an invisible bond, a terrifying existence beyond imagination was born."

"This new being possesses a power powerful enough to look down upon all living things."

"The wizards cheered and encouraged."

"They thought they had a weapon that would allow them to rule Valoran."

"They appear to be responding to this new existence, but in reality they are trying to control it and use it for war."

"However, they had no idea that such powerful undead spirits could not be controlled by humans."

"When Tharn Uzul returned to the world of the living, the wizards who tried to control him met the consequences of their greed."

"The moment he revived, he immediately and ruthlessly wiped out their lives."

"No matter what kind of magic and weapons they used, or even if they called out his real name, they were unable to cause any harm to him."

[Once I was trapped in a mortal body, now I am the embodiment of steel. ]

[The hustle and bustle of the world of the living and the silence of the afterlife are all ruled by me. ]

"The long-forgotten shackles have been broken, and a new throne has been formed under his feet."

"At this point, the name San Uzur has long lost its practical meaning."

"The terrifying spirit that returned to the human world has a new name given to him by Ou Chenyu."

"Iron Armor Soul of the Dead—"

"Mordekaiser."
