Chapter 481: Chapter 481

"Black Tide?!" An Xing was startled in his heart.

"That’s right, it should be that force you just described. They are the most terrifying power in the Monster World, but what I’ve touched is only a corner of this world. There might be even more terrifying Catastrophe-Level forces beyond this one."

"You can understand it this way, it’s a Super World with numerous Strong Clans standing tall. Even at its peak, the Dark Race Legion, capable of crossing multiple worlds, was merely near the bottom among the strong clans here. Your naive thought of destroying the world is just that, naive. The more you understand this world, the more desperate you will become... Our once proud peak is merely a joke in the eyes of this world’s many Peak Forces."

As An Xing continued to recount, waves of shock surged in An Shui’s heart.

Only then did he realize how laughable his own thoughts were.

The peak-period Dark Race Legion did not even rank among the Peak Forces in this world, let alone him, a branch’s Commander.

The vow to destroy the world is simply a foolish delusion.

Now, at best, he is just an ant at the very bottom, not even qualified to enter the World-level battlefield.

"It’s not your fault; establishing understanding is always a process. When I led the main lineage into this world, I too had the same delusional dreams, but the harsh reality made me see the truth and realize my insignificance."

After An Xing finished speaking, he couldn’t help but cough again.

"Your condition seems poor; what happened?"

Faced with the inquiry, An Xing took a deep breath, his battle armor automatically detaching, revealing a pulsating rune number on his body.

"I am under a Rule curse, and this rune is like my countdown to death. Each pulsation reduces my Life, and soon I will die under the Rule curse and be reshaped in Reincarnation."

After these words, the red light in An Xing’s eyes dissipated:

"According to our Dark Race Legion’s tradition, the next ruler of the Dark Race Legion will be chosen from the Commanders of your branch legions, awaiting my rebirth in ten years to reclaim command of the Dark Race Legion."

"Since you’ve contacted me, you are also part of the qualification competition for the leadership."

"Currently, the Dark Race Legion’s territory in the Monster World has been occupied by the Heavenly Curse Clan. The main lineage and branch legion Commanders have each led some clan members to different areas of the Monster World to reestablish territories. You also need to set up a Dark Race node in your region to ensure the Dark Race Legion’s survival."

Upon hearing these words, a bitter smile appeared on An Shui’s face:

"I have lost everything; how can I establish a territory?"

"I will assist you. I have about five years left to live, during which I will distribute the stored resources to different nodes, and you have a share. I will observe your growth in the upcoming time and select a Commander to temporarily hold command of the Dark Race Legion after my death."

"But my clan members have all perished in battle; now I am alone."

"No matter, the last cycle of Reincarnation reshaping is about to end, and I will allocate a batch of clan members to belong to your legion."

After listening to the recount, An Shui understood An Xing’s decision.

He wants to establish multiple Dark Race Legion territories to reduce the risk of being annihilated, while selecting his successor based on the development of different nodes until returning after the Reincarnation ends.

Facing An Xing’s invitation, An Shui knew that the opportunity for survival had come.

At this moment, he nodded solemnly:

"An Xing, I will follow your instructions to establish a Dark Race Legion node in my region."

An Xing nodded wearily:

"The Reincarnation Space in your hand has been patched together with Dark Race Energy. Next, I will provide you with the first batch of resources needed for development, and the next batch of clan members returning from Reincarnation. Don’t disappoint me."

After these words, An Xing waved vigorously amid violent coughing.

Suddenly, the projection scene constructed by spiritual power collapsed, and An Shui’s consciousness returned to his body.

Looking up, he found that the Dark Race Reincarnation Space gem had returned to its original state.

Extending his consciousness inward, the vast space inside was reconstructed, only the missing reserve resources did not return.

At that moment, the energy cube at the edge of space flickered, and the previously stagnant rune on the surface pulsated again.

The long-dormant node was reactivated, connecting to the Reincarnation Rules held by the main lineage leader, An Xing.

This means he reobtained the power of Death Reincarnation, allowing him to enhance his growth potential in the next life through death.

After hardship comes joy, a turn for the better.

He gained the opportunity to rise again.

As An Xing said, this world is filled with strong clans, but high risk also means extremely high rewards.

If he can establish a foothold in this world, the Dark Race Legion will grow to heights far beyond its former peak.

At that moment, a large amount of Dark Race Energy flooded into the space, forming dark red Crystal Stones that constantly piled up on the ground.

Followed by an enormous dark red glowing sphere entering the space.

An Shui had seen this in the inherited information.

It is a self-destruction device created with Dark Race Energy, meant to perish with the enemy.

At a critical moment, activating it can unleash terrifying power, destroying the entire Dark Race Space to prevent the enemy from using the Reincarnation Node Magic Cube to trace the specific location of other nodes.

Now the node he holds has established a connection with the Reincarnation Rules, making this defense measure very necessary.

It is also a means to protect other legion nodes.

The entire space suddenly shook, and An Shui’s consciousness looked toward the end of the treasury.
