Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Who are you? And what are you planning by telling me all these things?"

Upon hearing Evan's question, the black figure replied in a calm voice.

"Since you have already been to Azragoth World, you should know that the place we are in now is called the Lost World by the people of the Origin Universe, right?"

Evan nodded at the black figure's words, as Velgoth had told him about this before.

According to him, after Azroth destroyed the Universal Tree, the Origin Universe was shattered, and some of its parts were swallowed by the void.

Earth and the other places, including Utopia and all the lower-level worlds connected to Utopia through the World Domain, were among the fragments of the Origin Universe swallowed by the void during that time.

Evan doesn't know how Utopia and the other lower-level worlds came into being and stabilized after being swallowed by the void. However, if he had to guess, he would say it was definitely related to the World Domain and the Tower of Ascension located there, as it was the only thing connecting all the worlds together.

Seeing Evan nod, the black figure continued.

"You have been to the World Domain as well and must have come into contact with the spirit of the Tower of Ascension, right?"

Evan narrowed his eyes at the mention of the Tower's spirit and quickly pieced things together.

"You mean you are similar to the spirit of the Tower of Ascension?" He asked in a deep voice, recalling that the spirit of the Tower had told him that it was merely a fragment of the Will of Utopia.

"Yes. Just like the spirit of the Tower of Ascension, I am also a part of the Will of Utopia or to be precise, I am the Will of Earth."

"You mean…" Evan's eyes widened in realization as he looked at the black figure with a surprised expression.

"Every lower-level world has its own will, which is a fragment of the Will of Utopia. You can think of me—and the will of other lower-level worlds, such as the Will of Arora World—as essence clones created by the Will of Utopia to manage the lower worlds," The black figure explained.

"So you are saying you are doing all this because the Will of Utopia instructed you to—including sending me to Azragoth World?" Evan asked sceptically.

"No," The black figure replied, shaking its head calmly. "I made all these decisions myself—including allowing many S-rank hunters to ascend to S+ rank at the cost of their lifespans and sending you to Azragoth World."

Evan narrowed his eyes further at this but didn't do anything and waited for the black figure to elaborate.

"From the moment I became the Will of Earth, I received only two instructions from the Will of Utopia," The black figure said, meeting Evan's gaze.

"First, to kill you on March 1, 2020, or, more accurately, kill Ray on March 1, 2020 and allow the spirit of the Tower of Ascension to open a World Channel on this planet so that your soul could pass through it and be sent to Arora World, where another fragment of your soul was located."

"Second, to guard the Blood Dungeon at all costs. Even if the entire planet were to be destroyed, I must keep it safe."

Evan was stunned upon hearing this and many things that had previously eluded him suddenly began to make sense.

From the information he had read, Evan knew the Earth had undergone significant changes after his death. He had always been curious about why such changes occurred just after his death and people began to evolve, but now he understood: it was the result of the World Channel the spirit of the Tower of Ascension opened to send his soul to Arora World.

As for the black figure's decision to send him to Azragoth World or turn S Rankers into S+ Rankers, the reasoning became even clearer after hearing the second instruction it had received from the Will of Utopia.

In Azragoth World, Evan had learned that the World Passage Velgoth opened was connected to Earth.

Once the passage stabilized, countless high-ranking Eldritch creatures would have invaded Earth. With the overwhelming power of these creatures, including Velgoth, the entire Earth—and the Blood Dungeon—would have been destroyed.

To follow the second instruction given by the Will of Utopia and protect the Blood Dungeon, the black figure had first created some S+ Rank hunters to protect the Earth from the Eldritch Creatures that were coming here through the World Passage and later sent Evan to Azragoth World to destroy the World Passage and kill Velgoth to prevent him from opening another passage.

As for how Evan had ended up on Earth when he had been trying to reach the World Domain using his title, the explanation was not difficult for him to deduce.

The spirit of the Tower of Ascension in the World Domain and the Will of Earth are all fragments of the Will of Utopia.

Since the Will of Earth knew that the Blood Dungeon was in danger, the Will of Utopia must have been aware as well.

When Evan used his title 'The Owner of Eldoria City' to go to the World Domain, the Will of Utopia had likely interfered, redirecting him to Earth to solve the problem of Eldritch Creatures.

Although Evan now understood many things after listening to the black figure, several questions still lingered in his mind such as—Why the Will Of the Earth was showing him the same memory he had seen upon entering the wooden hut in the Tomb of the Ancient? Why was it revealing the true identities of Lesentra and Mythrenor? Why had it been necessary to kill him on March 1, 2020? And, most importantly, why is the Will of Utopia so adamant about protecting the Blood Dungeon?

Just as Evan was about to voice his doubts, the black figure seemed to remember something and spoke first.

"By the way, that friend of yours was also sent to Earth because of the Blood Dungeon."
