512 The Age of Grey Fog (Part 2)
"In the early days of the Gray Mist Age, as long as the strength reaches the Sixth Ring Road, you can have capabilities similar to those of the domain. People at that time used this ability to build the initial shelter in the city. However, this ability was too dependent on the origin of the world, or in other words, this ability itself was a gift to the origin of the world."
The witch's voice was a bit regretful. Although she had not experienced the initial period of the Gray Mist Age, she saw the harm caused to people from the witch's inheritance.
Countless shelters collapsed in the changes of the world, cities were broken, and the strong could still protect themselves, but ordinary civilians could only wail in the gray fog, and eventually turned into wandering monsters.
In the end, only seven cities survived, and the ruler of those seven cities, the original seven kings.
"But only a very small number of people can protect the seven kings. In that disaster, most of the civilians turned into monsters in the grey fog and finally, one ten that can survive will not survive."
The witch's voice also became low, and Gregory seemed to see the darkness that had engulfed the whole world back then, not the fog, but the despair in people's hearts.
It seems that the world cannot bear to see humans and elves extinction like this. So, in the darkest era, the king in the imperial capital found a land that was not occupied by gray fog, and at the same time the "first fire" appeared.
Therefore, on this "miracle land", the first tall tower in the Gray Mist Age was established based on the "original fire". The residents from the imperial capital surrounded the tower and used the boundary of the Miracle Land as the baseline to establish the first city wall in the Gray Mist Age. This city, known as the "City of Hope", is the predecessor of the Central Ring City today.
Afterwards, the second generation of witches walked out of the flames and divided the original fire into seven parts. Six selected messengers took the fire out of the "City of Hope" and rushed to the other six cities, and based on the other six surviving cities, they established six other circles.
These seven cities, which are the predecessors of the seven major rings, are also why, except for the core area of the central ring, the core areas of the other six rings are square or other shapes.
Since then, the Gray Mist Age has officially entered the second stage.
The establishment of the seven towers is like the seven sea-stabilizing needles inserted into this world. The world that had been continuously collapsed has finally stabilized. Although it is gradually collapsing, the degree has slowed down to a negligible level. By the time the real crisis breaks out, it will be a thousand years later.
"A thousand years later?" Gregory suddenly smiled bitterly: "It is now 392 years of the Gray Mist New Calendar, and before the Gray Mist New Calendar, the Gray Mist New Calendar had more than 600 years, that is to say..."
“It’s now.”
The witch nodded, affirming Gregory's guess, and also making his face even more ugly: "The world is on the verge of collapse."
...
"You guessed it, the world is on the verge of collapse."
In the tower of Blue City, Royna nodded with an ugly face and slowly restrained his momentum, but there was still some badness in his eyes when he looked at Sawyer.
Sawyer ignored it and just sighed: "So, you are actually preparing for this day, right? And Gregory is actually just a means of insurance, right?"
"No." To Sawyer's surprise, Royna denied his speculation without hesitation, "Our preparations are just auxiliary, just laying the groundwork, and only Gregory, only the selected one, is the key to everything."
"Is it too late?"
Sawyer sighed again, raised his hand and waving in the void for a moment. Suddenly, a ripples appeared in the entire tower space: "Look, even the rules in the tower have begun to be violent. Do you really have time to wait until he grows up?"
After all, Sawyer has lived in this world for more than two months. Even though he is limited by his own authority, he cannot find some confidential information. However, by checking some basic information, coupled with Sawyer's own exploration of this world, and finally, the fragmented language between Royner and the witches adds the final section, he already understands where the problem in this world lies.
The biggest threat to the world, on the surface, is the ubiquitous gray fog, as well as the violent alien beasts and mutant plants born in the gray fog, but the emergence of gray fog and the emergence of monsters are essentially due to the lack of rules and messiness, and the most fundamental problem is the lack of gods.
All the gods in this world disappeared.
Whether it is the Holy Spirit, the Demon God, or the Yuanlings who fall into sleep and become all things, they all disappeared from this world. The huge and complex rules system was uncontrollable, and finally it gradually loosened and messy. In the end, countless rules entangled and collapsed, causing the current situation.
And fire is the means of saving itself in this world.
The existence of fire stabilized the rules of an area and formed a shelter suitable for living creatures [ring and ash stronghold]. The fire located in the ring city poured the power of stable rules into the earth with the help of high towers. Although it could not make the rules stable again, it also prevented the rules from continuing to collapse.
However, this power is disgusted by the gray fog and the monsters in the gray fog, which is the ultimate reason for the formation of the Black Tide.
But it is obvious that the range where the tower can stabilize is always limited. In addition to the power of the tower and fire, the rules of large areas are constantly collapsing, and the situation in these areas is getting worse and worse. This is why there has not been a new ring of cities in the past century.
So, a thousand years later, the situation in the areas outside the scope of the towers has finally deteriorated to an irreversible situation and began to affect the areas within the scope of the towers. The whole world is in a state of collapse, and the world will completely disappear in a few years.
Listening to Sawyer telling his guess, Royner shook his head: "You are very smart and you are not very wrong, but it is not complete."
After saying that, Royner seemed to feel something, turned to look at the bonfire. The flames in the bonfire became a little stronger again, and at the same time, some black shadows also emerged from the flames...
“What are these?”
Looking at the shadows in the flames, Gregory couldn't help but take a step back. He felt the ultimate evil and a sense of disgust from the heart from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Gregory's disgust, the witch waved her hand gently and the bonfire returned to its original state: "These are all exiled kings."
