Let's just talk about the present.
Players live in a prosperous capital city filled with song and dance, unaware of the changes in this world.
In fact, the decadent beliefs of twilight have already begun to take root and sprout in various parts of the world.
In the later stages.
Much of humanity's territory will be reduced to a living hell.
Only then will players truly witness the cruelest side of this world.
They were talking in hushed tones.
Suddenly, a lone figure appeared ahead on the mountain road.
"Finally, something strange has appeared."
Ning Hongchen rubbed his hands together, ready to step forward.
"Wait a minute." Su Bai quickly called out to her, reminding her, "It's not a monster; its health bar is yellow."
Yellow represents neutrality.
The crowd stepped forward and recognized the figure.
Calling it a monster wouldn't make much difference.
The upper body of this creature could still be vaguely discerned as male, while the lower body was completely rotten and deformed, fused together with the bones by the roadside, resembling a twisted, withered tree.
"Traveler..."
His cloudy eyes lit up when he saw the crowd.
Would you like to hear a story from me...?
He began to speak.
"Task?"
Ning Hongchen immediately guessed it.
Su Bai looked at it and said directly, "I would like to hear the details."
He naturally knew the monster's identity.
But I can't say it.
He could only patiently listen to this story, which he had already heard countless times before, once more.
Ning Hongchen was just wondering where this place was.
No.
A commentator arrived immediately.
In short, the secret realm of Illusory Sea and Sky once housed a deity of unknown origin, whose followers called him the 'Lord of Flesh and Blood'.
The church they founded was named the 'Ascension Church'.
Meaning:
Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars to new heights.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is definitely not a legitimate church.
And that is indeed the case.
Within the Ascension Cult, everyone is fanatically and obsessively convinced of one idea: flesh and blood are the shackles preventing them from ascending; only by shedding their flesh and blood and replacing them with mechanical bodies can they obtain true immortality.
Thus, under the brainwashing and drive of this dogma that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
The Ascension Cult held a horrifying 'mass ascension ceremony'.
result.
It was a failure, of course.
The details require extensive research and consultation with multiple sources; surely, no one has that much free time.
The monster's appearance is primarily for unlocking a side quest.
As it narrates.
A mandatory quest popped up in everyone's quest log.
