#146 - Chapter 146 The War Begins
“Great Abyss Lord, believe us, we will slaughter all living beings in this world and deliver it to you!”
After hearing what Wu Wei said, the three demons, Herr, Mara, and Hendricks, showed no fear or timidity.
They, like the Imp Matron Caroline, were simply expressing their loyalty to Wu Wei.
Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between demons and ordinary races.
When faced with extremely dangerous situations, demons do not hesitate, nor do they fear.
What they want is completely consistent with their lord.
War, and plunder!
Seeing these three perform so well, Wu Wei was relieved.
“Good, wait another half a day, and when the army is fully mobilized, the portal in front of you will open.”
From the moment Wu Wei returned to the Abyss, the war machine of the Endless Abyss had already begun to operate.
Large numbers of demon warriors began to return to the Abyss from various areas of the previous Trial Continent through predetermined portals.
In fact, Wu Wei's hasty mobilization of troops is seen as a failure by many lords.
Because doing so seems too impetuous.
Mobilizing an entire army with just one person's power is very prone to errors.
A war involving the conquest of a new world often requires the joint efforts of several, or even dozens, of lords.
And often, such wars will last for years, or even decades.
Moreover, during the war, each lord needs to complete various tedious tasks, not only fighting but also considering supplies and such.
So, war is actually a rough and extremely precise existence.
But Wu Wei doesn't need to worry about this.
Because he possesses the Vision of War.
These eyes with scarlet vertical pupils have brought him powerful abilities that no other lord has ever possessed.
With this ability, he doesn't need to worry about any of these problems at all.
But back to the topic of impatience, Wu Wei is indeed too impatient.
Because he actually wants to complete the annexation of a world in twenty days, which is something that many lords wouldn't even dare to think about.
But this is also something that can't be helped.
What Wu Wei lacks most right now is time.
Because his current war funds are “borrowed”!
At the pawnshop in the previous auction house, Wu Wei mortgaged four dragon eggs in exchange for 1.2 billion war funds.
But mortgages are different from pawns; mortgages require paying interest.
And the interest on these 1.2 billion funds is an astronomical figure every day.
So, unwilling to give up these four dragon eggs, Wu Wei must conquer a world as soon as possible, and then use the resources of this world to fill his gap, take back the dragon eggs, and continue his endless war.
Money.
Or rather, resource points.
Is the foundation of all wars!
Even Wu Wei must follow this iron law of the lord era.
The reason why Wu Wei doesn't recruit new heroes or upgrade his existing heroes is to temporarily save this money and use it on the army as much as possible.
However, just as Wu Wei was worried about money, he suddenly remembered that the log recording the Black Star, which he had purchased from the auction house, was lying in his personal space.
So, taking advantage of the extra time, Wu Wei took the book out of the space and began to read it.
“Hmm... I see.”
“Not bad... not bad.”
Wu Wei flipped through a few pages and nodded.
To be honest, this log is indeed an antique, and the content recorded in it is also very exciting.
But there is only one problem.
“I don't seem to understand it.”
Wu Wei closed the log.
Unfortunately, lacking professional knowledge, he couldn't read the contents of this log at all, not even understand it.
Because it was somewhat different from what he had imagined, the language used in this log was not the Abyssal language associated with the Black Star.
However, Wu Wei didn't give up completely. He took the log and asked Hendricks and the other three.
“Um, can any of you understand the words in this log?”
“Words, what's that, can you eat it?” “Log, what is a log?” “....”
Sorry, in the Endless Abyss, where everyone is practically educated from the womb, Wu Wei, who has undergone systematic learning, cannot be called a public intellectual, because he is a prophet!
So, in every sense, Wu Wei really bought this log at a loss.
Because currently, no one in the entire Abyss can understand these words.
Perhaps a few Abyssal scholars can easily unlock the mysteries of these words.
But the problem is that in today's withered and dying Abyss, those Abyssal scholars who could interpret these words have long since passed away.
But at this moment.
Hendricks, who was knowledgeable but illiterate, noticed Wu Wei's worries and reminded him.
“Um, Lord.”
“If you're talking about knowledge, then I think you can seek the help of the Fallen Angels.”
“Fallen Angels?”
“That's right, Lord. Although the Endless Abyss doesn't advocate knowledge, the Fallen Angels, as the founders of the Abyssal Cult, actually possess an extremely broad knowledge reserve.”
“In fact, those dark and twisted forbidden knowledge are themselves one of the rewards that the Fallen Angels use to bestow upon the members of the Abyssal Cult.”
“After all, they are the Abyssal beings closest to the Abyss Lord, and another meaning of the Abyss Lord is the endless treasure trove of Abyssal knowledge. All the fallen knowledge in the Abyss originates from the Abyss Lord.”
“So, these bizarre ancient words may not be anything in the eyes of the Fallen Angels.”
“Fallen Angels... so that's how it is?”
Wu Wei understood after hearing this.
He glanced at his personal space.
In the space, the system prompted that the fusion process of the Abyssal Codex has entered the countdown stage.
In a few more hours, the Abyssal Codex, which has been fused with more fragments
Since this is the case, Wu Wei took advantage of this opportunity to set off to the city ruins where ten thousand demon slaves were originally fighting each other.
He was preparing to see which lucky ones had completed their trials and were preparing to become the first batch of believers in the Abyssal Cult.
And taking this opportunity, Wu Wei was finally preparing to establish the Abyssal Cult Sanctuary and recruit the legendary Fallen Angels.
However, just as the flames of war were gradually rising on Wu Wei's side, the storms related to him in the real world had not stopped.

As the New Year approaches, the humble author is here to explain the writing plan for the new year to all the audience masters.
One: This Abyss Lord, as my first attempt at writing a super-long story, will be my longest work, with approximately 2-3 million words.
So I won’t consider the income issue for this book, I will only consider the completeness of the plot.
I will try my best to use the length of this book to tell a good story about the old master leaving and the new king ascending the throne against the background of the abyss gradually weakening, and the old enemies coming back.
Two: After the Spring Festival, I will start uploading several short story ideas that I have prepared.
They will be updated simultaneously with the Lord, but the difference is that their length will not be very long, basically ending in about 300,000 to 700,000 words, and their content mostly has evil gods, horror and doomsday elements.
Thank you again to the readers for your strong support last year, thank you everyone!
And today, on the day of New Year's Eve, the author is here to wish all the handsome readers a happy Spring Festival!
In the Year of the Rabbit, may you all have a great exhibition of rabbits!
All the best!
