Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 144 Slapping the Fallen High Priest in the Face 2

Upon hearing this, Drake's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he then requested to go to the border to investigate.

At the border of the realm where elves live, where vegetation is sparse and natural power is scarce, few elves are willing to go there.

The Elf King originally wanted Leng Yuexing, the most powerful high-ranking elf in the Elf race, to go to the border to investigate.

Now that High Priest Drake has made such a request, he wants Cold Moon Star to take Drake to the border to investigate.

For some unknown reason, the gods worshipped by elves, dragons, orcs, and dwarves have all fallen into a deep slumber over the past few centuries.

Only the God of Light, worshipped by humans, and the God of Darkness, worshipped by the dead, remain conscious.

The God of Darkness was once suppressed in the abyss by other gods, and the power of darkness never invaded other continents.

Now that the other gods have fallen into slumber, the God of Darkness is stirring and wants to let the power of darkness corrupt the entire world.

Races corrupted by the power of darkness will eventually become mindless monsters. Unless aided by the god of darkness, only the undead can survive in a world corrupted by the power of darkness.

Fortunately, the God of Light was suppressing the God of Darkness, otherwise the entire continent would have been corrupted by the power of darkness.

Regions corrupted by the power of darkness are primarily purified by humans who believe in the god of light.

Because of the corruption of dark power, humanity's status in the world is rising.

Nowadays, elves mainly rely on the healing power of nature to resist the power of darkness, but they have no way to purify it.

As the god of nature fell into slumber, the spirits received less and less of the natural power.

The only way to absorb the natural power that the god of nature can release while he is asleep is through prayer.

Now, resisting the power of darkness has become much more difficult.

Leng Yuexing is the most powerful elf in the elven race in the past few hundred years. The power of nature seems to favor him. Whenever he prays, the power of nature will flow into his body continuously.

The Elf King believed that Cold Moon Star would be the one to save the Elf race.

The Elf King turned to look at Leng Yuexing and said kindly, "Yuexing, take the High Priest to the border and check it out."

"Remember, protect yourself," the Elf King said with concern.

“Yes, I will take him to the border right away.” After bowing to the Elf King, Leng Yuexing looked at Drake standing to the side.

"Please come with me, High Priest."

A dark glint flashed in High Priest Drake's eyes as he looked at Leng Yuexing.

He had assumed the Elf King would send an ordinary elf to accompany him to the border, but to his surprise, the Elf King sent the most powerful elf of the elven race to go with him to the border.

As expected of the most powerful elf in the Elf race, Leng Yuexing was surrounded by incredibly powerful natural energy, almost comparable to the power of light emanating from him.

Given time, Leng Yuexing will surely surpass him. After all, for some unknown reason, he has prayed to the God of Light all these years, but the God of Light has not granted him a single ray of light power.

The power of light within him is dwindling...

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened slightly.

These thoughts flashed through his mind only briefly. After Leng Yuexing finished speaking to him, he nodded to her and said, "Alright, let's not delay, let's go now."

Drake looked at Leng Yuexing, revealing the most perfect smile he had ever practiced in front of the mirror, and followed Leng Yuexing outside.

Although this place was far from the border of the Elven territory, Leng Yuexing and Drake traveled very fast and arrived at their destination before evening.

The border of the Elven territory is sparsely vegetated, with a steep and precipitous cliff at the very front, resembling a huge wound torn open by the earth, inspiring awe and fear.

The cliff face was as smooth as a mirror, without any trace of climbing. Only a few tenacious plants poked their heads out from the cracks in the rocks, bringing a touch of life to this barren place.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, with a bottomless abyss below, shrouded in mist, a cold wind blows by, bringing a chill and stirring up waves of fear in one's heart.

Leng Yuexing had not expected there to be such a cliff at the border.

Drake's eyes flickered when he saw that Leng Yuexing showed no surprise at seeing the cliff.

If an elf had been here before, they would know that this cliff is quite different from the previous ones.

Although this cliff was steep before, you could see right to the bottom and there was no fog.

Seeing this cliff again now would surely be astonishing, but Leng Yuexing showed no surprise whatsoever, which meant he had never been to this cliff before.

He walked over and stood beside Leng Yuexing, looking down into the abyss, and said, "This cliff hasn't changed much; it's the same as when I passed by here before."

Drake pointed to a sparsely vegetated area in the distance and said, "Let's go take a look there."

Leng Yuexing ignored Drake's words and looked thoughtfully at the mist that kept rising from below the cliff.

Turning back to Drake, he said, "You're saying this place hasn't changed since you passed by?"

Drake nodded. "Indeed, nothing has changed!"

Leng Yuexing turned around, her expression cold and sharp. "Although the border of the Satia Empire is adjacent to this place, there is no passage across this cliff. How did you get here?"

"Or rather..." Leng Yuexing's sharp eyes turned to Drake, "what made you come here specifically to take a look?"

Drake hadn't realized there was such a huge flaw in his words.

He came to this cliff because of the dark power deep within it.

He originally intended to use the dark stone he had obtained by chance to attract the dark power deep within the cliff and summon the god of darkness.

Unexpectedly, the cliff seemed to be under some kind of restriction. The dark power dissipated the moment it surged up, and instead, a mist rose up.

After looking around the area, he discovered a secret cave in the farthest part of the cave, guarded by elves at the entrance.

He guessed that the secret cave was connected to the cliff, so he thought of going to see the Elf King and using the excuse of checking the power of darkness to enter the secret cave.

Now that he cannot obtain the power of light, it means that the God of Light has already despised him.

Rather than continue to worship the god of light, he decided to turn to the god of darkness.

As long as he gains the approval of the God of Darkness, he will not be corrupted by the power of darkness. Instead, he will become stronger because the God of Darkness bestows upon him the power of darkness, and thus he will not become a cripple.

Moreover, he sensed that the God of Light's power was growing weaker and weaker, and that he might be defeated by the God of Darkness at any time.

He now worships the God of Darkness, and when the God of Darkness rules the world, he will gain supreme power.

More importantly, he sensed that the elves possessed something he needed, though he didn't know what it was.

But he knew that as long as he destroyed the Elven race, he would get what he wanted.

In order to summon the God of Darkness, he must obtain the dark power hidden deep beneath the cliff.

Upon hearing Leng Yuexing's question, he feigned surprise and chuckled, "I really didn't expect you to find out."

“I came here specifically to check out the cliff because legend has it that there is a secret realm deep within the cliff that connects to the dark abyss. I was afraid that something might have happened to the cliff, so I came here specifically to take a look.”

Leng Yuexing didn't believe what Drake said, but he knew too little about this world and couldn't guess Drake's true intentions for the time being.

Leng Yuexing thought he would find another opportunity to come and check the cliff later, so he pretended to be persuaded and nodded, saying, "Then let's go and check other places first."

No sooner had Leng Yuexing finished speaking than a deep, authoritative voice rang out, "Who said this cliff hasn't changed?"

Leng Yuexing turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was a man with dazzling blond hair.
