Bottomless Abyss, Level 422.
"Pfft!"
As a mouthful of blood spurted out, Su Ziyu's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and then was dyed with a touch of light gold. Visible to the naked eye were invisible black thin lines floating like blue smoke, tracing back to his spirit. The sands of time were like earthworms trying to invade his mind bit by bit.
— "The Sword of Time!"
Just when Su Ziyu was about to mobilize his divine power to fight to the death with this thin black thread that was like a gangrene attached to the bone, the guardian of time and space beside him, Mr. Stephen, directly reached out and drew out the sand of time floating around his body. , formed into a long sword made of golden sand, and with a gentle wave, he directly cut off these black thin lines.
Sir Stephen's expression was slightly solemn at this moment. He looked at Su Ziyu in front of him and said softly: "Have you met the ancient evil god?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyu's spirit was a little sluggish at the moment, and he nodded: "Very strong."
Lord Stephen stretched out his hand and grabbed the black threads. Silver-white runic eyes appeared in his eyes, and then said: "It's the true god."
"It doesn't look like the true body has arrived, otherwise you might be injured more seriously."
He clenched his palms tightly, and these black threads dissipated like blue smoke. Indistinctly, the green smoke turned into a twisted shadow covered with tentacles, and then turned into a hazy and faint shadow. Silhouette of black goat.
"His favored ones were killed by nuclear bombs."
Su Ziyu closed his eyes to treat his injuries, and said slowly: "The other party came to the material plane in a spiritual body, and I had a head-on fight with his spiritual body."
"His current condition should not be very good."
The earth in the wasteland plane has restrictions on any true god-level existence. It is protected by a plane barrier, just like a layer of net. Su Ziyu cannot pass through that layer of net, and the other party is also restricted, so Both came in incarnations.
Su Ziyu used his daughter as a medium to perform the ritual of divine descent, but the other party angrily chose his soul as the medium to descend after his beloved was killed by a nuclear bomb.
His target is Su Ying.
The other party discovered the causal power of the 'Son of the Plane' in Su Ying. If Su Ziyu hadn't arrived urgently at that moment, Su Ying might have been implanted with the [Thought Seal] the moment she saw the other party's true body.
That is an extremely domineering mind control ability.
Without changing any of the other person's knowledge of the world, he forcibly turns the other person into a fanatic believer.
Although this confrontation at the spiritual level only lasted a moment, Su Ziyu was also seriously injured. He temporarily entered a state of 'soul weakness', but fortunately he gave Su Ying a layer of blessing before returning. "Psychic barrier", with his protection, he should not be affected by other things.
"Tell me what's going on." After the matter involved the ancient evil god, Sir Stephen's expression became much more solemn.
Su Ziyu pondered for a moment, and then began to tell some things about the wasteland plane.
Of course, there is no need to explain the mortal part to Mr. Stephen in detail. He mainly talks about the divine part.
In fact, at the moment of the incarnation's arrival, Su Ziyu, who has more powerful spiritual power, saw far more than Su Ying, because everything in the world has traces of spiritual energy left behind. In a moment, he had already achieved a certain resonance with the pan-dimensional consciousness, so what he saw was a more distant history.
Including the catastrophe that occurred in the wasteland plane.
The wasteland plane is a parallel plane to the earth. Although there were some supernatural beings in the past history, they were all subject to strict plane restrictions. Therefore, the history before the Cold War was actually the earth as Su Ziyu knew it. no big difference.
The real disaster occurred during the Cold War.
On August 20 and September 5, 1977, the United States launched two spacecrafts, "Voyager 1" and "Voyager 2" respectively.
This is the beginning of all disasters.
Each of the two spacecrafts carries a gold-plated copper laser record with the name "Voice of the Earth", which records most of the human languages and various sounds on the earth. To be honest, from Su Ziyu's current perspective, it is undoubtedly quite stupid for a civilization that has not yet entered the interstellar era to rashly make its voice heard in the universe.
On the golden record of 'Earth Sound', almost all human weaknesses are exposed to the outside world.
Whether it is an advanced alien civilization or some powerful ancient evil beings, as long as any one of them captures these two spaceships and obtains the 'Voice of Earth' record on them, it is equivalent to It puts the entire human race on the chopping block.
Kill if you want, dominate if you want, it's all about getting what you want. The only protection for human beings is the protection of the pan-consciousness of the earth.
Unfortunately.
The original Voyager encountered some unknown changes during its long journey in the universe. It fell into the hands of an old god wandering in the universe. His name is unknown to Su Ziyu for the time being, but as he follows it During the confrontation between the incarnations of the old gods, Su Ziyu saw the twisted and weird outline of a 'black goat'.
The existence of the Voice of the Earth gives those old gods the ability to interfere in the material world across space.
Therefore, their first step in invading the earth is sound.
That is, those "weird whispers" that Su Ziyu heard when he first entered the wasteland plane, whether it was the corpses that were initially contaminated by nuclear radiation, the aberrant creatures that appeared later, or the ones that appeared in the past two years. Madmen, their appearance is accompanied by some strange whispers.
When Su Ziyu went to the isolated island to rescue Pasha, he heard extremely serious strange whispers there, which even drove many determined brotherhood members crazy.
Su Ziyu did not see some specific details of the invasion through inspiration.
But he could roughly guess the entire process of the wasteland plane being invaded by the old gods.
The first step of invasion should have occurred during the Cold War. At that time, both the United States and the Soviet Union were conducting research on superpowers, mainly focusing on the research of psychic powers. Psionics are the embodiment of idealism, and their research gave the old gods an opportunity to take advantage of them. It was probably through these researches that the original tentacles of the old gods interfered with the material world.
The second step of invasion was destruction. At that time, human civilization was in a Cold War period, a period of time when it was sitting on a nuclear powder keg.
The first thing the Old Gods should do after being able to interfere with reality is to destroy their civilization through human nuclear war. At that time, the conditions were fully met to destroy human civilization, and this process could kill most of the human race and collect an incredible number of souls, and these souls could become nourishment for the old gods, allowing them to further interfere with reality. world.
Su Ziyu has a bold guess, that is, the old god may have been in a sealed state, and the sacrifice for him to break free from the seal was most likely the souls of humans who died after the nuclear war.
Because of the Cold War background at that time, as long as the old gods could control some of the most critical figures, they could directly trigger a nuclear war.
As a result, a catastrophe occurred and the development of human civilization was directly interrupted.
After the catastrophe.
The interference of the old gods in the material world further intensified, and they even descended their own incarnations and flesh-and-blood descendants to the material plane.
So there was everything Su Ziyu saw at the beginning, which was the birth of the ghoul.
The flesh and blood extract of the old gods is the core material of the anti-radiation potion. As for whether this thing was created by the old gods controlling humans, or whether it was created by humans capturing the children of the old gods, Su Ziyu has no way of determining yet.
Because after the catastrophe, the pan-consciousness of the earth awakened.
At that time, some extremely powerful beings also appeared among humans, such as the man named 'Uri-Sith' in the Soviet Union, and a code-named 'Solomon' that he had tracked down.
The invasion of the Old Gods also opened the protective barrier of the Wasteland Plane.
In the words of the time and space monitor system, the energy level of the wasteland plane has increased, and the boundaries of supernatural abilities have also been opened.
The birth of the initial anti-radiation agent was most likely the result of the efforts of some people and certain forces to save everything. It was even possible that someone or a force discovered the invasion of the old gods before the catastrophe occurred. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why a large number of shelters have been built around the world, and some people have realized that nuclear war is coming.
The third stage is the emergence of the Gospels.
Prerequisites were required for early humans to hear those strange whispers. For example, they entered an area with high radiation pollution, had a high degree of pollution themselves, or had high innate inspiration.
The first person Su Ziyu met who turned into a ghoul would whisper "meat", but ordinary people had no effect at all.
But later it became clear that the conditions for hearing strange whispers became lower, which meant that the invasion of the old gods had reached a new level, and then the strange madness in the wasteland world suddenly broke out all over the world.
That's right.
Madness spreads through sound, and the old gods have begun to close the net after laying it out for so long.
The original 'Voice of the Earth' golden record was also injected with divine power by the old gods, and was directly transformed into an artifact-level 'gospel', and then was sent back to the earth in some unknown way.
The original Mechanical Atom Cult and the Mystics were probably organizations that were born because they came into contact with these mysterious objects.
The Old Gods have completely mastered the human voice.
Through the Golden Record of the Sound of the Earth, they have already thoroughly studied the human sound system in the process of slowly invading the wasteland plane over the years.
These old gods can even emit sounds that are imperceptible to human ears, but they use these sounds to influence ordinary people, gradually depriving them of their sanity, reducing their SAN values, making them slowly go crazy, and eventually become completely corrupted by the old gods. Dominated puppet.
“Sound is the antidote.”
After listening to everything Su Ziyu said, Sir Stephen frowned and said solemnly: "That world will either enter [Mechanical Ascension], or it will have to find the antidote from the sound."
"But the hope of getting an antidote is slim."
"The blasphemous whispers transformed by the old gods, unless you can find the help of a powerful being who masters the [Music] priesthood, it will be difficult to obtain the antidote."
these years.
The Old Gods' mastery of human voices is obviously a process of gradual improvement. By now, it is very likely that the entire wasteland plane is shrouded in the negative state of 'Whispers of the Old Gods'.
It is quite difficult for Su Ziyu to obtain the antidote. .
