The Era of Glory was the most prosperous era of all civilizations on the Mycroft continent. It was not just humans. On the continent at that time, elves, dwarves, trolls and centaurs all developed splendid civilizations. The vast continent was The prosperous tribes and the vigorous fire of civilization can light up enough to shine on other worlds.
According to the Soul of the Forest, not counting humans, elves alone have developed a solar ship that can sail in the endless void. It is powered by the energy generated by the annihilation of elements and can sail forever like the sun. , exploring the multiverse, and in the human world, there are countless time and space gates leading to various worlds. Knowledge about other worlds has even become a subject that requires special study.
They built cities on the moon, sailed toward the sun, and explored its mysteries. Everything in the world was prosperous and prosperous.
But it prospered and then declined. This is where it all began. On the eve of the disaster, the four tribes of humans, elves, dwarves and goblins living in the fantasy world joined forces to hold a grand magic ceremony - they opened up a new world in the void. A demi-plane was created, and this plane connected all the worlds that Mycroft's world could access at that time. The four strongest races on the continent intended to use this demi-plane as a transit point to explore and colonize various countries. A valuable alien world.
As for this demiplane, its name is [Sacrificial Ground of All Realms]. The sages personally named it, and powerful men of other races also blessed it one by one. Sacred inscriptions were engraved and placed in the center of the sacrificial ground.
This is truly the most prosperous time. The fire of civilization is burning brightly. Humanity's eyes are no longer focused on a continent or a world, but on the entire multiverse. There is no time that we are more proud of.
But just as the same prophecy said.
-The ignorant open the door to the end, and the death of all things is imminent.
They connected through so many time and space channels that they couldn't even count them. In the carnival of successful ceremony, they opened a door that should not have been opened.
[Gate of the Abyss]
The Abyss is not a strange world. The existence of demons has long been known to all races. Although it is indeed a terrifying and depraved chaotic world, no one is really afraid of it. There are even demon warlocks who use demons to The professional presence of power.
With the level of human civilization at that time, there was no problem in resisting the attack of the abyss. However, the gate of the abyss opened this time was different from the time and space channels used by demons to invade in the past.
It connects every layer of the abyss.
How many levels are there in the abyss? No one knows, so no one knows the number of demons coming this time. Even if most of the time and space channels collapsed due to excessive load, there are still endless monsters pouring out, even sleeping in the abyss. An evil and terrifying existence at the bottom also awakened from its near-eternal slumber. This twisted and frenzied existence dragged all the strong men present into the bottom of the abyss, and started a great battle.
The tribes that had lost their strongest men struggled to resist the tide of demons. The war was so brutal that the entire continent was covered with corpses. In order to end the endless enemies, some strong men desperately destroyed the abyss in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice. Gate, but the demon army has opened seven huge portals in the Mainland of Mycroft.
Even if the sages and powerful men from all races return from the bottom of the abyss, they cannot change the situation. Because of the war between worlds, countless chaos wandering in the void gather like sharks smelling the smell of blood. The sages He must fight against several evil gods, otherwise the world will be completely destroyed by the evil gods before he can wipe out all the demons.
Therefore, the originally prosperous world turned into ruins.
At this point in the story, Joshua remembered the expressions of the forest souls at that time.
In the light group formed by countless faces disappearing back and forth, 'they' showed the same expression, calm contained sadness, and sadness contained anger.
He recalled the illusion that the forest souls showed him with such expressions.
The dim sky was obscured by countless dark clouds. Those were not naturally occurring clouds, but blood clouds produced by countless demons and alchemy puppets fighting in the sky. Heavy rains formed by turbid blood and engine oil fell on the earth, making it deathly gray. Light diffused from behind the clouds and enveloped the entire world. Countless corpses covered the ground, and it was not even possible to see where the end was.
The air was filled with the stench of sulfur, and bursts of gray-white smoke rose from the soil mixed with corpses. The world was polluted to the extreme, and all possibilities for life were completely wiped out. Even breathing would be contaminated with strong poison.
The war with demons and chaos caused the mountains to collapse and the plains to collapse. In the south of the former world, now the far south and sea, which is the hometown of the elves, a continent is slowly sinking. It is a certain great being. As a result of the battle with an evil god, a terrifying and twisted will swept through the outer layer of the world. The essence of chaos and darkness was revealed, causing the world to be eroded deeper, and countless people died in an instant.
"We don't know what happens next."
The Soul of the Forest said this in a slow and heavy tone at that time: "Due to the destruction of their home continent, some elves left the world of Mycroft. They fled the final battlefield and came here."
"And I protected them and came here together."
In this sentence, there is a hint of shame for those who avoid fighting, but also a sense of being a racial protector.
"Is this the origin of the elves in this world? So what is the origin of the stone demon?"
Although he had some guesses about a lot of information, Joshua didn't have time to care about those things now. The warrior asked about this will, and he frowned with doubts on his face: "Those mindless puppets, what exactly is controlling them?" ?”
"Didn't those elves tell you the answer a long time ago?"
The Soul of the Forest asked in confusion: "Just like meteorites, heavy rain, drought, earthquakes and tsunamis, the stone demon itself is part of the 'natural disaster'."
"A natural disaster? How could a puppet be a natural disaster... Wait, the natural disaster you are talking about..."
At first, he didn't understand what the other party was talking about, but the soldier suddenly realized it - just like sometimes famine is not [famine], and plague is not [plague], the word natural disaster may not represent a simple natural disaster, but a representative A more terrifying existence.
Nodding slowly, the light ball confirmed Joshua's guess, and the ethereal echo vibrated: "Of course, behind the stone demon is the god of chaos. You can call it the evil god [natural disaster], or you can use the more appropriate term Some ancient names.”
"Ancient God [Ten Disaster Stars]."
On black backs, everyone moved forward all the way into the distance. At the end of the field of vision, a towering mountain peak could be vaguely seen. There was no gloomy haze around this mountain peak, but a faint cyan light. Around it, there was no There is no trace of the Stone Demon.
On the dragon's back, while resting cross-legged, Loranda raised questions about what the warrior had told him before: "Joshua, you and I both know that the name of the evil god is closely related to his own power. The evil god of plague controls the spread of the disease. The Evil God of Famine has the power to desolate the world. Judging from the previous situation, if the world is facing the invasion of the Evil God of Natural Disasters, I believe it, but... "
He paused for a while, as if he was thinking about how to word it. After a while, the paladin said seriously: "Since the arrival of the Stone Demon in this world, there have indeed been more and more disasters. Recently, there have been several volcanic eruptions. Major earthquakes, snowstorms, floods and other phenomena are enough to prove the authenticity of the power of the evil god of natural disasters, but the stone demons are indeed just puppets, and they have nothing to do with natural disasters."
He still has questions about the origin of the stone demon.
"The origin of the stone demon is not actually important. The Evil God of Famine uses the God of Desolation transformed from crystal insects as a carrier. The Evil God of Natural Disasters may also use puppets to carry his power. The form of the Familia is not worth studying. They are just tools in the hands of the Evil God. "
Shaking his head, Joshua explained calmly. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking: "The Apocalypse Array in the sky is where the body of the evil god of natural disasters lies. This means that the evil god of natural disasters himself may be the super-large composite magic weapon." Formation, the Stone Demon is its finger that affects the world.”
"According to Qunsen Soul, the evil god of natural disasters is different from other evil gods. It has an extremely long history and is even worshiped by some worlds. It is just like real natural disasters. As long as it can withstand the ten disasters, then no matter how successful it is, If it fails, the evil god will leave this world."
"Is that why it's called the Ten Disaster Stars..."
Ying sat next to the warrior, her eyes full of confusion. The girl couldn't understand things that were too complicated, but she could still understand this sentence. She hugged her knees, leaned against Joshua's side and murmured: "I don't know what disaster it is now."
"Who knew there were so many natural disasters in this world."
Joshua shrugged. He stretched out his fist, put it in front of his eyes, and then clenched it tightly: "But this is a lot more interesting... The enemies against us now are not only physical puppets, but also illusions." 'act of God'."
He smiled and said: "This is really a battle that ordinary people cannot experience."
"So, where are we going next?"
Loranda was still a little confused. After all, he had never communicated with the Soul of the Forest, and it was impossible for the warrior to repeat all the information. The Paladin said in confusion: "What is the Soul of the Forest you have been talking about before? Exists? Why does it know so much information that even the Church of the Seven Gods doesn’t have?”
You know, the Church of the Seven Gods has inherited part of the legacy of the Glorious Era. They know more about the lost three hundred years than most people in the world, but now someone suddenly appears who understands that era better than they do. exist.
"Is it the soul of the forest... you will know later."
Without directly responding to Loranda's question, Joshua turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance, his red eyes reflecting a trace of cyan light: "As for where we are going, of course it is somewhere that can change the current situation. "
"The holy land of the elves in this world, the Origin Mountains."
I forgot to post it after I finished writing it... Only when I came back from get out of class did I realize that it was my fault, my fault
