Chapter 156: Deep Sorrow (24): The footsteps of the truth
Suddenly, the crimson laser seemed to touch an invisible prism in mid-air, transforming into rich and complex colors, like the brilliant fireworks that bloomed when the Creator opened up chaos when building this world.
After being stunned for only a second, Zhuoliigo's sharp claws grabbed Dak.
Stab!
Even though he is now the initial level [Chaos Inducer], his body's agility and reflexes are several times stronger than that of normal humans, even the Lost Ones, but such an attack that mixes the dragon's memory and power, coupled with the brief confusion just now,
The light made Dak unable to dodge, and his neck and left cheek were scratched by sharp claws. He was blown away by the airflow and fell heavily to the ground.
When Wulfya pulled the trigger and attacked the two vulnerable parts of Zorygo's heart and eyeballs, and Luo Nie condensed the "Light of Mechanical Spirit" to bombard his palms, barely forcing him back, Dak slowly crawled from the ground.
rise.
Fortunately, the enhanced agility still saved his life. The depth of the attack of Zhuoliigo's claws was slightly shallower and did not scratch Duck's carotid artery.
However, the burning pain still made him temporarily confused and unsteady.
Coupled with the continuous erosion of the extremely strong "sadness" around him, he felt that there were many lingering negative emotions of pain, sadness, darkness, unwillingness and anger in his brain.
A few seconds later, he walked up behind Wovya and Luo Nie with difficulty. During the brief moment when both parties were panting and trying to regain their strength, he actually saw a thick asphalt-like object replacing the bright red blood.
Exudation from the wound.
But what is paradoxical enough is that the "asphalt blood" did not drip down or flow down his skin normally. Instead, it appeared in an irregular state, extending upward like tree branches and developing in an extremely short period of time.
The inside turned into countless squirming, dark, crazy fingers that looked like some kind of "alien monster" or an unknown ancient creature.
Fortunately, when Dak surged up the magic power that belonged to the water source in his body, he subconsciously reached out and tried to pull off these strange things that did not belong to his body. The skin on the surface of those fingers fell off one after another, peeling off and turned into countless
The dry, coal-like lump floated to the top of the hall, and its traces were annihilated in the blue flames.
"Are these the power of the ancient gods?" Dak murmured to himself doubtfully, touching his neck again.
The strange thing is that the wound just now no longer exists. What remains is a normal wound that is slightly painful under pressure and has already scabbed. Moreover, the oozing blood only shows a normal bright red color when rubbed, without any traces.
Strange.
It was as if those seemingly unquestionable, dark and despicable derivatives had never really existed, and were just visual errors caused by the influence of "Shang" and the power of magic.
Seeing this scene, Zhuolii Ge burst into a manic and terrifying laugh, and then said:
"This is the influence of the pollutants seeping out from the 'lowest bottom'. This world is not just the continent and starry sky that we can see with the naked eye, there is also an underworld hidden under the earth that punishes sinners. It is said that the underworld
It is a whim that the Creator came up with after viewing the ancient gods he created. Of course, in some perceptions, especially in the religion of Khitanris, it is the place of final judgment for mankind."
"Does the underworld really exist?" Dak asked, taking half a step forward.
"In the original structure of Krusted's mysticism, there were five categories: the human world - the dragon realm - the universe - the realm of the ancient gods - the underworld. When..." Zhuo Ligo, who answered the question, suddenly twisted his face, and then
Return to normal quickly.
He paused and then said:
"Before humans destroyed nature, the magic source power was sufficient, and humans could freely enter and exit with their bodies, so they could naturally use the 'Power of the Tomb' at will. Yes, the abnormality in your wound just now was the result of the 'Power of the Tomb'.
But it seems that you have been in contact with the gods, and some kind of power that I can't describe has offset its negative effects.
"Do you know? My 'power of the underworld' was not obtained directly from the underworld, but was forcibly poured into it. If I don't give up control of my body and grant memory and cognition to the dragon clan, I will be '
The "power of the underworld" oozing out from the bottom of my body became crazy. Back then, Ivan XXII not only gave me such a majestic body, but also forcibly used devices to inject those disgusting, fearful, and tortured thoughts into my body.
The sorrow and pain of the underworld.
"I was given a mission. Fortunately, I just completed it. I found the 'pure person' who broke into it. My life will eventually perish." Zhuoriyi Ge smiled bitterly, looked up at the top of the hall, and said:
"Emperor Crusted, who believed in the orthodox bishop, often said that the human world is a purgatory for people with original sin, but in fact, the 'ruins of deep suffering' are truly an out-and-out hell. The ancestors and emperors of Crusted
My guess is correct, the 'lowest bottom' is indeed the connection point between the underworld and the extreme edge of hell and the human world."
"Connection point?" Duck asked doubtfully, looking at Zhuo Ligo in confusion.
"That's right." Zhuolii Ge nodded and said:
"Once upon a time, [Order] Ivan XXII dug underground, trying to dig through our planet and build a 'cosmic elevator' that could fly to the moon."
"'Cosmic Elevator'? These strange scientific terms...are indeed unheard of. They are futuristic terms that could only be created in the prosperous and open era of Ivan XXII." Wulfya couldn't bear it.
Zhu exclaimed in admiration, pointed the muzzle of the "Northern Bear" pistol downward, and assumed a brief truce posture that is classic in Crusad culture.
"Scientists from the Empire's Department of Space have created a model that subverts the understanding of magic. They believe that as long as they find a high enough location in the extremely cold zone and dig down through the mantle and core, they can reach the legendary
The remote 'Southern Ice Realm' in the middle and far away area." Zhuoliigo continued to explain:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Whether it is the Patriarchal classics of Ptoia, our orthodox books, or the rich historical documents of Khitanris mixed with myths and legends, they all record the events in the distant Ser
To the south of the Siya Sea (to the Far End Sea), beyond the realm of lightning, dark clouds, strong winds, and huge waves, there is a world of 'Utopia' where only pure creatures exist and endless ice and snow that are not bitter and cold.
"If the geographical location deduced by the noble navigators of Ptoya who once discovered the 'Cape of Storms' through the 'Secret Sextant' is correct, [Order] His Majesty Ivan XXII laid the foundation for the 'Brutal Ruins'
The cave will open an exit in that white continent.
"If we can draw on the holy power of the pure gods there, and add the light magic source power accumulated during the changes of time since the 'Era', the Crusted Empire can truly complete the 'circuit of the continent' and break through the ancient gods.
Blocked by the depressing and unsettling dark and filthy waves of the realm, the ancient realm was brought under the rule of the empire."
"However, I have read some manuscripts left by Crusted scientists. They mentioned that for every kilometer dug down, the temperature will increase by 6 degrees. In this way, when the equipment reaches the core of the planet,
Its temperature will be comparable to that of the sun. Even if we invite the help of the supreme god of fire, the Lord of Eternal Red, we still cannot reach there with just our human body." Luo Nie raised a question:
"This plan is not feasible in this era, even in the next era. The history of mankind is not long in the past, but it will be long enough in the future. Are many of Ivan XXII's actions too excessive?
Are you impatient? Is that what led to the disastrous consequences now?"
"Perhaps." Zhuoliyige said noncommittally:
"The excavation project back then actually only lasted a few weeks, and it connected a terrifying alien world. It may belong to our world, or it may belong to one of the countless complicated worlds created by the Creator.
, but in fact, it was not just the shuddering roar of pain that made Ivan XXII stop the project."
"Is it possible that you... have been in the so-called alien plane belonging to the underworld?" Dak guessed a terrible idea, subconsciously rubbing the wounds that had gradually healed but were covered in gray and black, and asked
.
"Indeed." Zhuo Ligo admitted:
"My magic source power is similar to that of fire, and I have been blessed by the 'Eternal Red Lord' and the 'Dragon Clan' in dreams. The gods declared to me that all the flames in the human world cannot burn my skin.
His body will be as strong as the tightest metal in the face of flames.
"But in fact, that area is not a dragon realm, but it is shrouded in a red and purple sky. When I stepped into it, there was a strong smell of burning in the air, like the largest steel plant in the empire operating at full capacity.
The smell of burning waves that rises during childbirth.
"The foot of my feet is a rocky land piled up by the weathering of human bodies, but not far away is an almost endless blood-red ocean with countless empty ships scattered. At the end of it is a metal wall whose top cannot be seen.
It seems to be imprisoning those twisted, short, ugly-like creatures that are struggling, squirming, crying, and whining, with human voices in their mouths, there forever."
"So, that's the hell that the so-called orthodox bishop preaches? Is it the birthplace of the continuous 'sadness' in the 'Bitter Ruins'?" Dak asked, his eyes fixed on Zhuori Yigo's blood-colored gem-like eyes.
eye.
"Of course." Zhuoliigo admitted:
"On the second day after returning to the human realm from the alien plane, my body began to degenerate in a direction that was not human. If it hadn't been for His Majesty Ivan XXII through 'Bizuni' who was also affected by the 'Power of the Underworld',
The 'first purpose' of the Tears released the 'Soul of the Dragon Clan' to create my current body. I am afraid that I have been punished by the Lord for a long time. Because I tried to peek into the invisible realm.
"However, this incident may have deepened His Majesty's inner uneasiness about the future development of the empire, forcing him to take the most extreme actions, creating this era of disaster.
"Thankfully, 'The pure boy has arrived here, and the era of Silent Flame has ended. The bell of restart has begun to ring, and the fate of reincarnation has arrived.' My mission has been completed. Although you belong to the 'Impure
In fact, there is no need to punish those people."
Just as the three of them were carefully considering Zhuoligo's words and trying to piece together some kind of terrible but foreseeable truth, the dragon body of Zhuoligo Vladimir Rurik suddenly appeared.
It fell apart and turned into a pile of broken stones that could not be lifted up and seemed to never be able to regain life.
In front of the three of them, a "Sequencing Card" that was more than ten meters high and engraved with monochrome pictures appeared.
