Lu Yao was eating potato chips and freed up one hand to click on the statue of the Water Fairy.
Next to the statue appeared Essene, still holding a bunch of reeds in her hands, and her long white dress shimmered.
"Lord Masakami."
He bowed slightly.
Lu Yao asked him what he was doing.
"I'm checking the waters here." The Water Fairy said: "There are very few fish and shrimps in the water environment of this world. I suspect there are some factors that affect the ecology of the water. If we can't figure out the conditions of the waters, no matter whether Lusa
Erka is still a water fairy, and even all kinds of life on land will be affected."
"After careful observation for a period of time, I discovered that harmful liquids and waste materials have been dumped in the water here for a long time, which was done by local magicians and mystics. However, I have carefully investigated and found that this amount of harmful liquids and waste materials have been dumped in the water for a long time.
It is not enough to affect the entire water environment.”
Lu Yao thought to himself, this really brought out the water fairy's strengths.
"I used the power of the water element to examine the Panshui River in detail and followed it all the way into the ocean, only to find that the marine life there was basically normal. Not long ago, I found the reason."
Essene paused: "In the lakes and streams of the Mystical Kingdom, there is a plant called [Water Mold] growing in it. They can cause fish and shrimp poisoning and chaos. The poisoned fish and shrimp are eaten by people and wild animals here.
After being removed, the toxins will persist and precipitate for a long time, and continue to affect humans who eventually become flesh-eaters, so people here are easily injured and sick, and are accompanied by hallucinations like strong alcohol."
"I think the people here are very enthusiastic about performing various sacrifices and rituals. Both gods and demons have a large number of followers. They like to study spells and secrets, but they make slow progress and lack of interest in intellectual invention and manufacturing...
It has something to do with the environment caused by [Water Mildew]."
"[Water Mildew] cannot survive in the marine environment, so it is not found in seawater."
"I asked the Rusalkas to clean up most of the [water mold] and place the remaining parts in several closed lakes for comparison and preservation. Now it seems that the number of fish and shrimps in the lakes and rivers
I am recovering slowly and I think I will get better slowly in the future..."
After Lu Yao heard this, his impression of Esseni changed.
He is careful and rigorous in his field of expertise and has strong action ability.
Lu Yao asked the water fairy to continue working hard, and then switched the perspective back to the blocking stone wall.
Bifrons started the demonic ritual again and summoned the demon Kali.
This time, Kali appeared directly in the shape of a normal pixel villain, with a silly smiley face on top of its head: "Thanks for the funding, I have defeated Tiamat and taught it a severe lesson."
Isabel immediately said: "What a joy."
"Then let's continue. Where did you ask? Let me think about it... why do gods become demons, right?"
People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and the devil seems to be no exception.
After defeating the powerful enemy and resolving the current crisis, Kali became talkative and cheerful.
It took the initiative to confess: "I don't know the situation of other demon gods. It's because I'm tired of the life of gods."
"Endless divine wars, endless fighting and contention... I come from Indian mythology and must follow the orders of the Lord God. All I have to do is participate in various divine battles, endless wars. I don't know how many years.
After that, I became more and more violent and irritable, and even started to lose control, killing friends and foes without distinction."
"At this time, I killed an extremely powerful special object and obtained a [Exile's Certificate] from its body."
Kali said: "This is also the key to transformation into a demon."
"You must hold the [Exile's Certificate] and merge with yourself, otherwise there is no other way to enter the gray vision."
Kali gave up everything without hesitation, generously gave away his kingdom and props to some weak gods, and changed his profession to become a demon god.
However, when it came back to its senses, it found itself in a gray sea of mud.
The place is endless, with gray stone statues scattered on the ground. These fuzzy statues, solidified from gray clay, stand quietly on this soft sea of land. Farther away are pillars that rise straight into the sky, each of which seems to be an eternal road sign.
.
Kali became one of them.
It cannot move, and the rules of the world here make everything stand still.
"That's hell."
Kali said: "I clearly exist, but I can't prove it because I can't move. Only my consciousness still exists. There, I once wondered if I was dead and just fell to somewhere in the underworld."
"Until I finally noticed something moving next to the gray stone statue closest to me."
"It was the layer of gray mud on its surface that was moving. I wanted to imitate it, but I couldn't do it at all... Many years later, I realized that the mud needed the power of the fire of faith to push it, and it also
Only the power of the fire of faith still operates there."
When talking about the life in hell, Kali spoke more and more slowly, as if he was remembering something.
"...I later learned what they did, using the fire of faith to push the plaster. Those gray clays were called [breathing soil], [underworld soil], and [god ashes] by the demons. I used to call them underworld soil. They
It can expand and grow on its own, just like a living thing, and it is the only substance there that is not affected by stillness."
Lu Yao was shocked.
Xi soil is actually related to hell.
"The underworld is something that seems to be alive. It is the only thing that can move there."
"But the demons are not sure what it is exactly. Maybe only the oldest demons know something. But they are already too far away from hell, and there is no way to touch them."
A small sighing icon appeared above Kali's head.
"Once the demons enter the gray horizon, they will first appear in the quagmire of hell. Then they need to wait for the underworld to grow over their bodies and complete the full coverage, so that they can gain the ability to move in the completely sealed layer of clay space.
."
"The underworld can relieve the stasis there."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In the earliest times, the demons first learned to use the fire of faith to change these mud seals, allowing them to wrap their bodies and move in the sea of mud, allowing the demons to move and
Stretch. Later, the demons learned a new method. They used the fire of faith to completely solidify these living underworlds and burn them into a square stone brick. We call it [Forbidden Stone]."
"With the Forbidden Stone, you can use the fire of faith to build a stable, airtight building space, and then lay it out layer by layer. This is the earliest prototype of the [Devil Pillar] or [Devil God Pillar], because it was invented by the Demon God.
, so most of them are called Demonic Pillars.”
It continued: "By continuously burning forbidden stones upwards and connecting them, a path can be built from hell to the sky. This is the pillar of the Demon God Pillar. By moving from bottom to top on the pillar
With construction, the Demon God Pillar will become longer and longer, extending far into the sky."
"The demons use the Demonic Pillar to expand outward, away from the gray hell on the ground and into the infinite black dome in the sky."
Lu Yao listened attentively.
Hell turns out to be a still world.
The Demonic Pillar is the workbench and vehicle of the devil. It is like constructing a space elevator that extends infinitely into the distance - or the ladder to hell.
Isabel asked: "Is there anything in the sky?"
"have no idea."
Kali shook his head left and right: "But going outside is better than staying in hell. And the further outside you go, the more you can sense the call of the virtual universe. The closer you are to the outside, the more you can respond to the sacrificial rituals or prayers outside. The devil can still sense it.
In order to hide the prayers left behind by the gods in the past, some demons will also use projection to change the prayer rituals."
"I have been using the past [Extinction Incarnation] rituals and sacrifices, but I just added some defense methods against other demons."
The so-called defensive means are the dark sacrifices used to deal with Bifrons before.
Isabel said: "It seems that the competition among the demons is also fierce."
"There is nothing we can do about it. The fire of faith is also crucial to the devil."
Kali recounted the secrets of demons: “In order to get closer to the outer layer of the gray horizon, all demons are constantly extending and building demon pillars, so that they can move further and hear more sounds to make decisions.
Respond."
"Some of these voices are rituals and prayers dedicated to a certain demon, and some are calls to the entire gray horizon. Any demon can respond. But because they come from the outside in, they are all filtered by the powerful demons on the outermost side first.
, they will flow in when they are not needed. It is generally a process like this."
"Except for this aspect, when demons consume their faith to expand the Demon God Pillar, they often fight with each other."
"There are usually two ways to fight. One is to use the Demon God Pillars to dismantle each other and expose the enemy to the stillness of the gray horizon; the other is to connect each other through the Demon God Pillars to kill the enemy's body."
"In Gray Vision, most people use the Demonic Pillar as a fighting method. The conditions for the second kind of beheading battle are very harsh and difficult to achieve."
Isabel took advantage of the situation and said: "Aren't demons immortal? What's the point of fighting each other...to compete for the ready-made [Forbidden Stone]?"
"right."
Kali's eight hands stretched slowly and rhythmically, like swaying seaweed.
"Snatch the opponent's ready-made [Forbidden Stone] to expand your own Demon God Pillar. Demons who lose the protection of the Demon God Pillar will be frozen and have to self-destruct and return to hell to start from scratch. That will be another long process..."
"Devils can obtain more materials by robbing them to expand the range and strength of the Demonic Pillar, allowing them to move outward more easily and reduce competitors."
"Some powerful demons built the Demon God Pillar into a floating island land, and they moved together as a group, making it impossible to shake it."
"In short, the Demonic Pillar is the sword and shield of the devil, and it is also the only thing that can be relied on."
Lu Yao touched his chin after seeing this.
Demons attack each other in the form of pillars.
In his mind, he pictured two inflatable dancers fighting at the entrance of the shopping mall...
No wonder it requires a lot of fire of faith. The more Forbidden Stones you have, the stronger the Demonic Pillar will be, and the more room you can maneuver.
He asked Isabel to ask again: "The confrontation between the Demon God Pillar is about the ability to dismantle the opponent's structure and the ability to respond quickly. Is this what you mean?"
"Yes. Burning and pushing stones is what the demons are doing," Kali said.
Lu Yao realized.
Demons lack the fire of faith, so they need to go out and find ways to collect it, otherwise they may fall back to hell after many years of operation and start everything from scratch.
They are also a group that can unite.
Maybe demons don't have any advantages in creation and development, but they are of great value both as a powerful source of information - their projections are spread across many worlds, and as a guard against other demons.
So, Isabel said: "I don't know, are you interested in long-term cooperation with our Yao people?"
Kali asked: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Isabel stated the conditions.
"...Help you obtain demon information, search for demons and projections here...Provide information about other worlds...What do you think of me? I was once a well-known sailor, and now I am also a senior demon god!
Don’t get carried away!”
A fiery expression appeared on Kali's head.
Isabel said: "We are willing to fund your Demonic Pillar business in Gray Vision."
The flames on Kali's head became even more intense, with an angry expression on his face: "Don't think that because you have a lot of faith, you can do whatever you want!"
"This is just friendship funding, not a transaction."
Isabel continued: "Lord Yao hopes to establish a long-term relationship of friendship and mutual assistance with you. Lord Yao is always full of respect and appreciation for those who have the courage to explore. I hope you can accept this...According to the oracle, our side
First offer 100 million fire of faith to make a friend. If you don’t mind, please accept it.”
"..."
The various symbols and expressions on Kali's head changed, and finally it said: "Then...thank you."
