Everything is still just speculation.
Joshua didn't think that he had any basis at all, and it was almost a random guess that was the truth.
But even so, the strangeness at the bottom of the abyss has become a little clearer.
As the gathering place of countless destroyed worlds, their souls, their information, and the fragments of infinite steel, the place of Nirvana in the Abyss must be a multiverse restricted area even larger and more terrifying than the Void Maelstrom. Especially the world galaxy where Mycroft's world is located. Because of the final battle, far more worlds and civilizations were destroyed here than in other world galaxies. This will undoubtedly lead to a greatly increased danger at the bottom of the abyss.
"Did the sage fight against the Evil God of Abundance in that kind of place?"
Just imagining it made Joshua feel that the temperature of his body had risen a little, and the core furnace was running much faster. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine the grandeur of that battle.
A long time ago, when the warrior knew that the sage had fought against many evil gods, he tried to imagine this scene that made his blood boil.
But at that time, because of his strength and state of mind, he couldn't even imagine that battle. It was like if someone who had never studied mechanical engineering imagined the internal structure of an advanced engine, he would definitely not be able to think of anything. Likewise, he couldn't even imagine the sage's moves or the evil god's form.
But now, Joshua has gradually caught up.
He also personally ended an evil god - no matter whether the evil god is weak or not, it is still an evil god. At least now, Joshua, whose strength has greatly increased, does not feel that the evil god in full strength or weak exists. What an unstoppable threat.
He could imagine how the sage controlled the holy light to deal with the corrosive attack of the evil god of abundance. He could imagine the scene where the sage single-handedly blocked the strongest evil god and all its dependents at the deep bottom.
But this vivid imagination did not last—Joshua took the initiative to open his eyes.
Imagination is useless.
The light figure happily stretched out the light bar and stroked the warrior's cheek, while Joshua touched the long hair of the light figure beside him, and then walked out of the blood moon with a smile.
It is better to imagine it ten thousand times than to witness it once and experience it with your own eyes.
Even if you fantasize a hundred million times, it is better to become stronger yourself. When the time comes, go to the center of the multiverse, find the sage, ask him all the puzzling mysteries of the previous era, and then challenge him.
He came to the Blood Moon Abyss not just to see Xiaoguang's true form and sigh with emotion.
He came here this time to prepare for the 'cleaning of the abyss' in the near future.
"I'll take the first step. Next time if you miss me and feel lonely, you can ask Xiaoguang to tell me and I will bring you some interesting gifts."
Accompanied by the somewhat regretful voice of the light figure, Joshua waved his hand, then tore the void apart and headed for other abyss.
Since a warrior is ready to take action, he never hesitates or pauses.
Meanwhile, the Seventh Abyss.
This world that once became increasingly gloomy and cold due to the gradual extinguishing of the sun has now become somewhat warmer due to the battle between the Canghai Sage and the Ether Dragon.
The size of the Seventh Abyss is not large. It is a traditional round sky with several continents floating on the sea. Because the energy sun hanging at the top of the sky is getting dimmed day by day, the sea of this world is frozen, and the plants are withered. The civilization that originally thrived on it is also close to extinction, leaving only a few 'Frost Demons' who have mutated and developed the ability to adapt to low temperatures.
But not long ago, the battle between Faina and the Ether Dragon completely dissolved the central continental mountains of this world. The overwhelming magma tsunami caused the temperature of the entire world to rise by thirty degrees. In that battle, the energy used by both sides even exceeded The total amount of energy the sun originally shone in a year.
The Canghai Sage, who possesses the power of matter-to-spirit conversion, has almost infinite energy in a world of matter and soul, while the legendary ether dragons possess one of the most powerful bloodline powers in the entire multiverse, and they are born with the ability to control the ether. With the power of commanding the endless extraordinary power in the surrounding void, the two existences were really matched against each other, and they bombarded the world wantonly.
Because of this battle, the frost world thawed a little, and even the energy sun that was about to go out became more radiant. This may be a good thing for ordinary life, but for the frost demons who have long adapted to the low-temperature environment. It is undoubtedly a disaster.
After that battle, 70% of the frost demons migrated away from the abyss along the River Styx, leaving only 30% of the demons who were reluctant to leave their homeland and stayed in place.
But now, even the thirty percent of the frost demons are now invisible.
When Joshua tore through the void and came to the Seventh Abyss, in the warrior's world of steel power, there was no fire of life in the entire abyss, leaving only a vast and boundless world of death.
"... Have they all really moved away?"
Even though he had heard the news from Eagle, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little shocked after witnessing this scene.
The species of demons, to put it bluntly, is a creature that has undergone large-scale mutation of the originally civilized species after the destruction of the world. Due to the changes in the power of steel and the harsh living environment, most of the world's native species will be destroyed, but even so, There will still be a small number of creatures that adapt to this harsh environment and gain great strength at the same time.
Of course, there is more than one type of demon. It is a general term for all intelligent creatures in the abyss - such as those powerful demons in the Sixth Abyss. Their origins are the insect civilization that was destroyed six thousand years ago, while the origin of the frost demons is thousands of years ago. A lizard-like civilization. Compared with other demons that are accustomed to constant migration, such as the Balrog, this race is more accustomed to living in cold homelands, because other abyss worlds are either full of strong acid, or full of poisonous gas and magma, and they are not Not fitting into those worlds.
But even such a demon with extremely poor livability moved its entire family so quickly. Joshua couldn't help but wonder if there was an insider in Mycroft's civilization who told the abyss demons that they were preparing to clean up the surrounding area.
"But that's impossible?"
Joshua knew very well that under his auspices, almost all cultists in the entire empire had been wiped out, and as the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Gods was located in the far south, there were almost no cults.
Even in Xishan, where cults were prevalent in the past, most of the cultists are now living with their tail between their legs, living up to the rampant scene before. In fact, it is easy to understand that ordinary people will be deceived by cults only if their lives are not good, but now, because With a lot of technological improvements, the quality of life of ordinary people in Mycroft's world is ten times better than before. They are well fed and clothed. How can they still participate in dangerous cult rituals or even the thankless task of informing demons
And, most importantly, the crusade plan against the Abyss now only exists in the minds of a few legendary strongmen and their direct subordinates. Brandon and Loranda were sent out by Israel and Eagle. Other than that, they didn't tell anyone about the candidates for the investigation. Even if they mobilized the army, it was just an excuse for an exercise.
Joshua scanned the entire Seventh Abyss a few more times to confirm that there was indeed no life in this world.
What's even more strange is that the remaining 'vitality' in this world has begun to gradually disappear.
The so-called 'vitality' of the abyss is actually the remaining ecological circulation ability of the abyss.
For example, the powerful abyss closest to Mycroft, the Sixth Abyss Molten Sea Hell, is a world that can be considered powerful in the abyss. There, the abyss worms have a complete grazing and breeding process. The newly born demons quickly gain wisdom and wisdom with the scattered soul fragments, giving birth to powerful insect demons. This broken and weak reincarnation of souls and ecological circle , it can ensure the existence of the will of the abyss and support a large number of powerful demons, even legendary demon kings.
The Seventh Abyss, the world of frost, actually has a complete ecosystem. Under the extremely thick ice sea, there is a circle of dark and warm unfrozen lakes, where there is the last remaining heat of the Seventh Abyss's core and a large number of fish. Reproduction, that is where the frost demons reproduce.
But now, Joshua can see that the warm, non-freezing lake has been polluted by poison. All the fish that were once rich in species have died, and the entire non-freezing lake has turned into a completely dead water. .
The last remaining vitality of the Seventh Abyss, or even the hope of returning to a normal world, was cut off in this way.
Moreover, it seemed that the Frost Demon had done it himself.
"Weird...what's wrong here?"
Joshua really couldn't figure out what was going on this time - he landed on top of the ice-free lake, kicked out, and broke through thousands of meters of ice, creating a direct entrance to the ice-free lake. , the warrior stared down at the birthplace of the Frost Demon that had turned into a dead lake, his eyes full of confusion.
The devil is not a madman who is extremely evil and insists on destroying everything in the world.
If they were such lunatics, they would have exterminated themselves long ago. In fact, demons do not maliciously destroy unless necessary. At most, they change the world into an environment that makes them feel comfortable. What they need is soul, the power of creation that can rekindle the flames of the world. Demons dream of restoring the vitality of their own world, but before that, like nomads, they will invade other worlds again and again, plundering Soul and life maintain the vitality of your own world.
Joshua believed that if it were Helm, the demon king who had fought with him, he would never have done such a thing to destroy the vitality of his own world. This would be equivalent to annihilating all hope for the future and completely turning the abyss into an impossible place. A dead world suitable for life.
With this doubt in mind, Joshua continued to tear apart the void and went to other abyss worlds to check the situation.
And the fact surprised him.
Spending three or four days, the warrior carefully inspected twelve abyss worlds that were once inhabited by demons, including the poisonous sea where the Balrog Syndicate once lived for a period of time. But just like the Seventh Abyss, all abyss In the world, there are no traces of demons, and the last hope of life in the world has been exterminated.
At this time, it was April 25th, year 840.
The fifth day of Joshua's exploration into the abyss.
At this time, the warrior was floating in the sky above the poisonous sea world, lost in thought.
In the past few days, he had seen many incredible scenes.
In the world of Abyss, the huge sea insect demons that were originally roaming disappeared, along with many Abyss demon dragons.
In the lava world, the Balrog clan and the Flame Lizard Demon living in the volcano are also missing.
It can be seen that a large number of battle traces that appear to be internal fighting appear around almost all demon residences. You can even see the corpses of many powerful demons lying in the center of the residence, with traces left on each other on their bodies.
Similarly, the vitality of all abyssal worlds has been extinguished by various means - changes in the earth's crust, volcanic explosions, abyssal forests burned by fire, underground fungal caves buried by collapsed rock formations... These cruel actions, even if they are Joshua, who was so heartbroken, couldn't help but frown and whispered something heartbreaking.
The reason why the ancient abyss world still exists is because the demons living in it have been working hard to maintain its vitality. Although Joshua believes that after destroying these demons, he may personally erase the reason for the existence of these abyss - But if you can, restoring them to a normal world is also a good option.
You know, compared to starting from scratch, restoring a dead world to a normal world is much more difficult than restoring a world like the world of Cronos that still has an ecological circle to life, and any abyssal world, There is a possibility of returning to normal.
But the most terrifying thing is not the destruction of life, but the destroyers of life in these worlds, who seem to be the demons who originally lived in this world.
Before they left, they all seemed to have had a huge dispute. The civil war caused by this dispute caused them to destroy the vitality of the local abyss by almost dying together.
Of course, Joshua did not go to the Sixth Abyss this time.
Although the warrior did not mind fighting against the Demon King Goliath and experiencing the power of a real abyss lord, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and allowing these cunning and powerful insect-man demons to escape, he resisted his desire to take action, precisely because In this way, he didn't know whether the current situation in the Sixth Abyss would be the same as in these worlds, with large-scale internal conflict and even self-destruction.
However, if a similar phenomenon occurs even in the Sixth Abyss, then Joshua will not be happy.
Of course, demons are indeed the enemies of all orderly civilizations and losers who represent chaos and barbarism. Their mutual killing is a good thing for any civilization.
But Mycroft's world is very close to the abyss. If a similar situation occurs in the Sixth Abyss, it means that Mycroft is also close to it - this kind of weird destruction, whose cause is not known at all, is completely the enemy of all life. .
Joshua slowly descended from the sky to the surface of the Poisonous Sea. According to the Syndicate, this is the place where it responded to its call. Under the acidic ocean here, there are a large number of acidophilic life forms. They are local native species and are also 'acid demons' in a sense.
But now, all the acid demons have been destroyed, and their corpses are floating in the depths of the ocean. It can be seen that this is self-destruction caused by large-scale internal conflicts.
"Although, I don't feel the breath of chaos."
Joshua squatted down, stretched out his hand, and touched the surface of the acid ocean. The warrior squinted his eyes and stared at the dark green acid stained on the top of his fingers. He said in a deep voice: "But I suspect that this may be a 'Evil God' attacks!"
Just as fertility passes, everything in the world will lead to unprecedented 'prosperity' and unstoppable 'decline'.
Just like a weakened existence, even the most combative armies and civilizations will degenerate into a lazy race without any enterprising spirit.
Just as famine comes to the world, everything in the world and everything that was once beautiful will turn into barren plains and dust.
Natural disasters, doomsday, imbalance, plague... The emergence of any kind of evil god will have signs before it brings complete destruction. The existence of the evil god represents a special and substantial doomsday that will destroy all civilizations. with life.
However, the evil god's dependents and their own powerful power always make people ignore their characteristics. After all, they are all existences that can destroy the world. Who cares how they destroy the world
But Joshua is different. As someone who has long regarded evil gods as future opponents and knows the origins of many evil gods, he has paid special attention to the characteristics of different evil gods from the beginning.
And this time, the strange phenomena that appeared in the abyss were very similar to the 'signs' before the evil god appeared! As someone who had witnessed the arrival of the avatar of the evil god of natural disasters and the 'Ten Disasters' in the world of Ilgna, he could almost confirm this.
"I need to go back and tell His Majesty the Pope about this news."
Thinking of this, Joshua was not in a hurry to continue exploring other abyss. His body slowly rose upwards, then tore open the world barrier and flew rapidly towards the coordinates of Mycroft's continent.
With Joshua's current strength, he quickly returned to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, and then contacted the old Pope Eagle through the communication tool of the research institute in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site.
Joshua was about to describe to him what he had discovered in the abyss in the past few days, but the warrior keenly heard that Eagle's tone at this time was very different from four or five days ago. Very heavy and low.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty the Pope?"
He asked with some confusion: "Why do you sound so distressed in your voice?"
On the other end of the communication instrument, Eagle, after hesitating for a while, happily explained the reason why he was so hesitant and confused.
"Although it is sudden, these are facts."
The old pope shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "The internal conflicts in the Far South Kingdom have intensified. A large number of nobles and some citizens intend to carry out institutional reforms and oust the king from the throne. All the original thirteen autonomous dominions have declared independence, and they seem to intend to Founding of a nation.”
"Not only that, there were large-scale demonstrations in the eastern plains. Many small-scale mage academies and spell caster organizations united to resist the invasion of Guantian White Tower into their own territory. A small number of them opposed the Guantian White Tower's local magic. According to their words, Nenghua transformation means destroying tradition.”
"As for the Northern Empire, the situation is not bad. Because of the existence of the Skynet system and the previous eradication of some nobles who had fierce conflicts with the common people, the bottom level is still normal. However, according to the information given by Israel, there is now a new situation within the empire. The conflict between the old nobles has completely polarized, and as the emperor, he cannot intervene directly. Now both sides have launched private assassination activities."
At this point, Joshua could hear it. The old pope rubbed his forehead helplessly at this time. Eagle smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention Xishan - the former Roman Grand Duke and the current Roman Emperor. Directly launched a blitzkrieg against surrounding neighboring countries.”
"To be honest, Joshua, I really can't believe that in just four or five days, how could sporadic conflicts that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly intensify into this situation?"
Please vote for me at the beginning of the month!
