After some inquiries, Shen Lang learned a lot of news about the gray world.
First of all, the gray world is indeed an interface created by Ancestor Hongjun, one of the four true ancestors of the Hunyuan era.
This world is about ten times larger than the virtual world, and the space is vast. It is almost as big as the three immortal realms of Tianmu, Sky, Vault and Tianmang put together after the World Destruction War.
There are also a large number of creatures inhabiting the gray world, but the ancestors of these creatures did not originally live in the gray world, but fled from the true fairy world.
"Are all the creatures in this world fleeing from the True Immortal Realm?" Shen Lang asked curiously.
Although the old man from the Soul Clan didn't understand why Shen Lang asked these questions, he still replied respectfully: "That's true."
"Countless years ago, a great disaster occurred in the True Immortal Realm, which resulted in the destruction of all living beings and the destruction of all races."
"At that time, it was the gods from Zixiao Palace who worked together to open the entrance to the Gray Realm, allowing a large number of creatures to enter the Gray Realm to take refuge."
"Most of the ancestors of the creatures in the gray world today fled the great disaster in the true fairy world."
The disaster in the true immortal world mentioned by the soul clan elder should correspond to the great disaster at the end of the Hunyuan Era.
Shen Lang was relieved.
No wonder the other party admires Zixiao Palace so much. It turns out that it was the disciples of Zixiao Palace who saved the ancestors of the Soul Clan.
According to the description of the old soul clan man, the gray world is not a paradise.
Most of the creatures who fled into the Gray Realm died soon after.
Just because the speed of time in the gray world is thousands of times that of the real fairy world, ordinary creatures will age and die soon after entering this place.
Only those races with very long lifespans can survive and reproduce.
To this day, most of the creatures living in the gray world are demons and souls.
The demon cultivator has a long lifespan and a strong ability to reproduce, so it survives.
The soul race is born with strong soul power, is good at cultivation, and has a long lifespan, so it also thrives and takes root in the virtual world.
Today, the demon clan and the soul clan are the two strongest forces in the gray world.
The Soul Clan is spread all over the Gray Realm. They have no fixed ruler and live in groups in family units.
The old man from the Soul Clan in front of him is the patriarch of a large family.
"Why did those demon cultivators attack your place of residence?" Shen Lang asked.
The old soul clan man said seriously: "They just want to plunder our soul clan's resources in an attempt to get more soul stones."
"What is the soul stone?" Shen Lang asked.
The old soul clan man explained: "After we soul clan members die, they will turn into a crystal called 'soul stone'. This crystal contains pure soul power and has the ability to delay aging."
"In order to increase the longevity of their own demon cultivators, the demon clan often plunders our clan's soul stones. This is also the main reason why they attack us."
The environment in the gray world is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of the soul tribe. Since the soul tribe has no body, it is minimally affected by the flow of time. Even the weakest soul tribe can live for tens of thousands of years in the gray world.
But the demon clan is different. If the demon clan wants to live longer, it must continue to cultivate to a higher level in order to obtain a longer lifespan.
In order to live longer, the demon cultivator came up with the idea of a soul stone.
"Plundering soul stones is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that the demon clan has produced a demon emperor in recent years. That demon emperor wanted to rule the entire gray world, so he ordered the demons to drive away or even kill the soul clan to occupy our territory.
living space."
"Although the soul tribe is spread all over the gray world, they lack a true leader and have been bullied by the demon tribe in recent years."
After sighing helplessly, the old man from the Soul Clan knelt down to Shen Lang again and said, "I beg God Zixiao to lead our Soul Clan to defeat the Monster Clan and regain our occupied homeland."
Shen Lang had no interest in this and said bluntly: "I am not the Zixiao God you call me. My appearance here is just an accident. Don't expect me to be of much help to you."
After not understanding the specific situation of the gray world, Shen Lang didn't want to be the one who stood out.
Even the Twelve Witch Ancestors are so afraid of the Gray Realm, so the Gray Realm must be extremely dangerous.
The old man from the Soul Clan thought that Shen Lang was blaming them for not being pious enough, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Sir, Lord Zixiao, if you hadn't come here today, this big family of Lao Chan would have been destroyed. Please, please."
Don't abandon us!"
"The Soul Clan has been devoutly worshiping the people of Zixiao Sect since they fled into the Gray Realm. Please ask God to protect us!"
