"I witnessed the emperors slaughtering the things they once swore to protect. In the face of death, those so-called immortals showed their ugliest faces."
Roger, who later became the legendary chronicler of the empire and traveled to countless universes to record those secret stories, carefully avoided the hungry aliens in the ruins.
They lurk in every dark place like hunting beasts.
If you are not careful, you will become their meal.
He was only eight years old at that time.
Not long ago, he witnessed a terrible catastrophe.
A giant hand that blocked out the sky and exuded a terrifying aura enveloped the sky.
Countless creatures, from mortals to immortals, trembled.
The aura emanating from the giant hand caused his body and soul to shatter and be completely harvested.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were turned into scorched earth.
His parents and grandfather all died in that catastrophe.
That was a creature at the level of the Immortal Emperor taking action and reaping all living beings.
Its aura alone is enough to kill all living things in the world.
This is the unrivaled Immortal Emperor.
Wherever the palm light covers, everything withers.
Just the release of this aura is enough to destroy an entire area.
Countless lives were killed on the spot, and the blood mist filled the air, turning the sky scarlet.
Billions of miles of mountains and rivers collapsed, and countless lives were plundered.
The air was filled with howling.
That’s because the living soul is unwilling to give in and is roaring, and has not dissipated for the time being.
It was filled with shadows and a deathly aura, just like the Asura Hell.
If the Dharma Ending Age had not arrived, the power of the Immortal Emperor would have been greatly weakened.
I am afraid that under the harvest of more than 20 Immortal Emperors, there will be no survivors in the Beihan Immortal Realm, and it will be completely destroyed and turned into a death place.
Roger was young and was protected by his family elders.
In addition, he was at the edge of the giant hand that exuded a strange and ominous aura, so he was lucky enough to survive.
Life in the ruins is not easy.
That giant palm killed many lives, and even took away the life force of most flowers, plants and trees.
Only a few plants and creatures survived.
The surviving creatures, due to the interference of the Dharma Ending Age, quickly lost their power and became mortals.
They can no longer fast and need to eat to survive.
The food stores were quickly depleted.
Add to that the rotting of corpses and the pervasive smell of death.
Many foods that survived were also contaminated.
When the survivors ran out of food, they started to eat the corpses.
Even Roger was forced to eat human flesh.
I'm so hungry and there's nothing to eat.
In order to survive, he had to eat any corpses he could find.
It tasted disgusting, but he had to eat it.
The corpse cannot be preserved for long in such conditions.
The survivors soon had no more corpses to eat.
Without any protection, the corpses would stink and rot in a few days.
If you eat a rotten corpse, you will probably end up becoming someone else's fresh food within two days.
The survivors, whose eyes were glowing green with hunger, attacked other living creatures.
Human beings are in a weak position among all races in the heavens.
Soon, like other weak tribes, they became food for the strong.
A few days ago, Roger saw with his own eyes a woman being captured by several aliens.
They have two pairs of cicada wings on their backs and their faces resemble locusts.
Those crystal-like eyes were very big, and combined with the wriggling mouth, they looked extremely strange.
Roger had heard the name of this alien race from the elders of his family.
Sky locust tribe.
This clan has the blood of ancient ferocious beasts flowing in their veins. Once they embark on the path of cultivation, they will make rapid progress and constantly transform into top-notch ferocious beasts.
They are a terrifying and powerful tribe that dominates the area.
Unfortunately, the Dharma Ending Age forced them down as well.
Make them lose their magical powers and strength.
They can only forage in the ruins and look for survivors as food.
They impaled the poor woman on a spear.
The woman just screamed like that.
It took seven or eight minutes before he finally died.
After opening the belly, grill it over the campfire until both sides are golden brown, then share it.
Roger witnessed the entire process of the woman's death.
To be honest, the horrific scene frightened him.
This world has become a terrible hell.
If he had any other choice, he would definitely hide in his nest and never run around again.
But his rumbling stomach made him unable to bear it, so he had to walk out of his hiding place.
The ruins were filled with a foul smell.
The rotting corpse was left uncollected, and it just lay there, emitting a pungent stench.
Flies swarmed around the maggot-infested remains, and when a living creature approached, they all flew away with a buzzing sound.
Roger moved cautiously in the shadows of the ruins.
Logically speaking, it should be safer to go out at night.
But those alien races have much better vision at night than humans.
When I had supernatural powers before, this small gap was not obvious.
After being baptized by spiritual energy, the physical fitness of the human race will be greatly enhanced, and they will also be able to see at night.
But now is the Dharma Ending Age, and all living beings can only rely on their own innate conditions.
Being able to see at night is a huge advantage.
They could see everything easily without the need for torches or lighting.
If Roger came out at night, he would really be courting death.
Who knows, he might not even know when he walks in front of others.
The stench of corpses in the ruins became stronger and stronger. Even if Roger covered his mouth and nose with clothes, he still felt so nauseous that he wanted to vomit bile.
Roger came out to look for a vine rhizome that could be used.
A few days ago, he saw those vines in this area.
Most of the vines' life force had been plundered by the giant hand of the past, and they had become dry.
But Roger believed that if so many creatures could survive, these vines could also survive.
If you can dig some, you can hold on for a while longer.
God did not abandon this poor child.
He saw a hint of green among the dry vines.
Looking around, there was no living creature.
Roger took out a knife and started digging at the soil.
He dug out three or four pounds of juicy, edible rhizomes.
"I can have a good meal tonight." Roger said to himself as he looked at the dug-up rhizomes.
“It’s a good meal indeed.”
A voice sounded behind Roger.
It made the eight-year-old turn pale.
He held the knife in his hand, his whole body trembling, and turned slowly.
They were discovered to be several alien species with fangs.
Those eyes showed the joy and cruelty of seeing food.
They were strong and covered in thick, sweaty hair.
Logically speaking, he should have run away as soon as he smelled the other person.
He was so hungry that he was dizzy and dazed. When he saw the food, he was so engrossed in digging that he didn't notice the arrival of these aliens.
"Mix them together and grill them. They'll fill you up."
An alien stretched out a giant hairy hand, trying to grab Roger, who was standing there in fear like a chicken.
Roger was so frightened that he stabbed the other person's hand with the knife subconsciously, and turned and ran away amid the other person's screams.
There is no transcendence in this world anymore.
The most common sharp weapon can easily pierce the body of an alien.
None of the alien races expected that a skinny human child would dare to resist.
They roared and chased after him.
Roger specifically ventured into those small gaps.
He can get through, but those strong aliens can't.
But no matter how smart and clever he was, how could he possibly escape from these strong aliens
After running for a while, he was caught by the other party.
In revenge, the other party cruelly broke his hands and feet, gouged out one of his eyes, and ate it raw.
Finally they tied him to a spear and took him back.
The reason why the other party didn't kill him was simply because he was far away from the camp.
If we kill him now, his meat will be stale when we return to the camp.
Roger, who was tied to a spear like a piglet, thought of the woman he had seen before and the inhuman treatment he might encounter later.
I couldn't help crying.
Blood and tears flowed down his young, dusty face.
There were traces of tears on his face.
He was about to be eaten by these guys.
A roaring sound came from the air.
A huge, strange steel object traveling at an extremely fast speed.
Just now it was in the distant sky, just a small, inconspicuous black dot.
A moment later, it rushed to the front.
Several soldiers wearing full protective armor jumped down from above.
Alien target discovered, executed according to Order No. 01.
A voice echoed in the air.
Light blades popped out from the wrists of those guys and they rushed towards the aliens.
Several aliens tried to resist.
They roared like wild beasts and waved their spears.
But in a short while, they were killed.
The corpse was cut by the lightsaber, and the wounds gave off a burnt smell, which was very disgusting.
Roger thought he would die too.
But those people did not kill him.
A creature in armor walked in front of him, and the device on its shoulder emitted green beams of light.
The beams scanned Roger, who was shivering with his hands and feet trapped.
The lightsaber was only a dozen centimeters away from him, and he could feel the deadly heat coming from the sword.
The hair on his face curled slightly due to the high temperature and gave off a burnt smell.
Analysis of the scan results shows that the target is a standard human gene sequence. Please assist him in reaching the human gathering place.
Roger couldn't understand the voice.
He stared at the visor of his helmet, trying not to be too frightened.
Even though he was about to pee.
He also pretended not to be afraid.
"I'm not afraid of you," he said in a trembling voice.
The other party did not say anything, but took out a syringe from the backpack behind him.
Roger's arms and legs were broken.
He can't do anything.
He could only watch helplessly as the other person inserted the syringe into his arm and injected the liquid into it.
He was so scared that he kept crying.
The body is shaking.
He had no idea what these guys were doing.
Are you going to kill yourself
Or inject yourself with toxins like the snake aliens do, so that it is easier to absorb.
None of the things he worried about happened.
A current of warmth flowed through his severed limbs, erasing his pain.
Kaka's voice sounded inside the body.
Broken limbs are healing quickly.
After confirming Roger's condition, the soldier stood up.
Another middle-aged man jumped down from the suspended airship.
He was not wearing armor, just a uniform.
There is a golden double-headed eagle on the chest.
This is the most noticeable feature of the other person.
Roger watched as the soldiers who had easily killed the aliens made way for the middle-aged man and let him walk in front of him.
"You're just a brat." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pulled Roger up. He said in a language that Roger was familiar with: "My name is Collins, the political commissar of the 103rd Corps of Krieg. I thought there was no one alive here."
"What's your name, little brat?"
"Roger."
"It's a nice name. Let's go. There will be a big purge soon. If you stay here, you will die."
Collins looked at the silent Krieg soldier.
"Go kill the other aliens, and then see if there are any survivors."
The Krieg soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor formed a battle formation and walked towards the distance.
Collins brought Roger back to the airship and threw him some compressed food and water to replenish his nutrition.
Screams were heard from a distance.
There were also screams and pleas for mercy.
Those aliens who hunted humans were found one by one by the silent Krieg soldiers and then executed.
Roger looked at the human man in front of him in silence.
The other person's face showed traces of time and looked very weathered.
Roger didn't feel any trace of spiritual practice in the other person's body.
He asked cautiously, "Are you the evil demons from outside the domain that those creatures mentioned? Why did you save me?"
The human race has a hard time on the path of cultivation and cannot rise above the level of True Immortal.
But there are still some forces.
We are not completely unaware of the arrival of the evil demons from outside the domain.
Collins was amused by the child.
He had been with the Kriegs so long that he had almost forgotten how to laugh.
Krieg is different from other regiments.
They never speak unless it is absolutely necessary or unless they are officers in command.
But those officers could only give brief orders.
I won't talk to him about anything else.
"Extraterrestrial demons? Is that what those aliens call us?" Collins was not annoyed by Roger's words. Instead, he wanted to tease him.
Roger nodded.
"They say you are evil demons from outside the domain, evil things that will destroy this world."
"We are not evil demons. We are the expeditionary force of the Human Empire, responsible for destroying all forces and civilizations that dare to oppose the Empire." Collins said.
"What is the Human Empire?" Roger's little head obviously couldn't understand what Collins said.
"It is a country established by all human beings uniting around the Holy Emperor, with human interests as the first priority," Collins said.
"Is the Holy Emperor the legendary Human Emperor?" Roger scratched his head. "I heard from my ancestors that the human race had a Human Emperor in the past. When faced with a crisis, the Human Emperor would protect the safety of the human race. But later, the Human Emperor disappeared, and those strong men also disappeared. When our human race was bullied by other strong races, no one took action."
Collins stroked his chin and said, "It's about the same idea."
Roger wanted to ask more about the Human Empire.
But the armored soldiers flew back, bringing back a group of ragged men and women.
Collins went to arrange those men and women so that he had no chance to ask questions.
Roger could only sit there.
He wanted the soldiers in armor to speak.
But the other party was very indifferent and would not respond no matter what he said.
Not long after, he was sent to a newly built huge city like everyone else.
There are many huge sculptures standing there.
Some people who had arrived before him pointed to the most magnificent sculpture and told him.
That is the sculpture of the Holy Emperor.
"Is that what the Human Emperor looks like?" Roger said, looking at the sculpture.
