Chapter 454 Why
The horrific war scene descended in an instant, coupled with the illusion that was difficult to distinguish between reality and falsehood, making it almost impossible for Lin Qingsheng and the other two to tell whether it was reality or illusion.
Countless streams of light bombarded the monster's scarlet body, like a stone smashing into pus. It was unable to damage the horrible monster at all, but instead seemed to anger it.
The roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth, and a huge palm fell from the sky, tearing apart the clouds and mist, breaking off the branches and leaves of the towering Jianmu, and falling on the earth.
Countless creatures were completely turned into muddy flesh and blood under this palm. The scarlet aura spread from where the horrible monster's palm fell, like ink dripping into the sea.
In just a moment, the earth was corroded and riddled with holes, like muscles corroded by sulfuric acid. An absurd, cruel, and terrifying atmosphere spread from here in all directions.
In Su Xi's sight, those who were too close to here were being corroded quickly. Their skin and bones were corroded in an instant, leaving their blood vessels faintly visible.
But within three or two breaths, these people had turned into small monsters, exactly the same as the monsters above the nine heavens, but smaller in proportion.
They attack people around them like crazy, and the people they attack also quickly change into this state.
Like a spreading plague, these people, covered in scarlet blood as if washed by sulfuric acid, quickly appeared on the earth, creating a scene like a world-destroying disaster.
Su Xi was horrified by what he saw. These infected monsters were obviously very powerful, but they had no power to resist the scarlet mist.
If this power were to reach the human world, they would all die.
"What on earth is that monster?"
Su Xi asked this question almost subconsciously. The impression this monster left on him was too deep, almost like a nightmare.
Not even nightmares could truly describe the monster before them, which seemed to be fear itself.
"I don't know either. I just know that they are the initiators of the war and the disaster that destroyed the Great Wilderness. In the past few days, the war broke out on Mount Tai, but we were only fighting against the refugees from the Great Wilderness. Even so, we were at a disadvantage. Now, we may have to meet him."
Lin Qingsheng was also staring blankly at the scene in the void. Under the body of this huge monster, they were as humble as an ant, even worse than an ant.
The pressure, like a mountain pressing down on his head, made Lin Qingsheng almost unable to control himself.
Disaster, destruction, corruption...
The aura of this monster seemed to tell the people who were looking at it that seeing it would mean destruction.
Lin Qingsheng whispered: "And that is the fate of the Great Wilderness, who knows what it is."
"Is it the fate of Dahuang to be stationed here?"
Su Xi looked up at the horrible monster crawling out of the crack in the void and muttered to himself.
In front of such a monster, it seems that everything you say is redundant, everything is too redundant.
Mosca also remained silent. He didn't know what to say.
Is this the wilderness?
Is this the disaster that Dahuang is facing?
Everything was beyond imagination even for Mosca.
In this huge disaster, he saw countless immortals falling down like dumplings. These immortals were not even qualified to launch a single attack in front of the horrible monster.
This was a one-sided massacre, the immortals were slaughtered, it was like a dream to Mosca.
Su Xi slowly closed the light curtain, as if he couldn't bear to see the scene in front of him. He said, "Isn't there a Heavenly Sovereign above the Great Wilderness? Why don't they take action?"
According to legend, there are countless Heavenly Lords in the Great Wilderness. They suppress the entire Great Wilderness and look down on everything in the world.
But at this time, this extremely terrifying monster arrived, but Su Xi did not see anyone appear to resist this terrifying monster.
Where did those Heavenly Masters go?
Where did the Human Emperor go?
"have no idea."
Lin Qingsheng could only say this, and he didn't know why.
But the war in the wilderness continues, brutal and tragic.
These people had no idea how many years it had taken them to reach their current level of cultivation, perhaps thousands of years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years. However, at this moment they couldn't even put up a decent struggle, and couldn't even leave a scar on the horrible monster.
How sad this is.
What exactly has Taoism been practicing for tens of millions of years?
In the end, was it all in vain?
So what are these tens of millions of years?
The entire wilderness soon turned blood red, and every inch of soil on the earth was mixed with blood. The most beautiful flowers today were scarlet, with a strange and enchanting color.
After a long while, Mosca lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the time?"
The number one man in the world said that it was not yet time for him to take action. Was this the moment he had been waiting for?
But if so, why didn't that person show up?
Is it still not time yet?
And at this moment, a voice sounded in the ears of the three people.
“This is not the time.”
The three of them turned around suddenly, only to see a man in black who had come behind them at some point. He seemed to be carrying the world on his back, with eternity in his vicissitudes.
"Sir, you are here!"
Su Xi turned around and said respectfully.
But deep in his eyes there was a hint of pity.
Wen Zhengming could naturally see it. He glanced at Su Xi and said, "It's tragic, isn't it?"
Su Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's too tragic. It's like a meat grinder. One race after another scrambles to die here. The entire wilderness seems to be dyed bloody. I don't even know how many lives have died."
Wen Zhengming looked at the scene in the distance and said, "This is war. The war descriptions you usually see seem too aesthetic and distorted. In this world, only this scene before our eyes can truly illustrate the cruelty of war."
"Is it just to prove cruelty?" Su Xi said with a trembling voice.
Wen Zhengming shook his head and said, "Of course it's not just to prove cruelty. The purpose of war itself is to end the war."
At this point, Wen Zhengming paused and said, "I have a story here. Do you want to hear it?"
Lin Qingsheng raised his head when he heard this. He had just heard this sentence not long ago. Then the black-robed monk told him a distant story.
However, the stories told by those two people were obviously not better than the one told by the man in front of him.
Su Xi also bowed and said, "I'm all ears!"
He had too many doubts in his mind. What exactly was that terrifying existence above the Great Wilderness Sky? Why did the gentleman say that it was not time for him to take action yet? And why didn't those Heavenly Lords take action?
Su Xi felt that he would definitely know the answer from the story told by the teacher.
Mosca also raised his head. He had a feeling that today he might know why the number one man in the world was so powerful.
Mosca even had a feeling that if the man in front of him took action, the monster above the void would be killed instantly.
"This story begins with two wars. One is called the Great War of All Races, and the other is called the War of the Heavens. You should have heard of the first war. It was a war that had a long-lasting impact. To this day, all races in the heavens still remember this war."
Wen Zhengming's voice sounded softly, like the wind from ninety thousand years ago, awakening distant memories from ancient times to the present.
The three of them listened attentively. Not everyone is qualified to listen to the story told by the best person in the world.
"Many people know that this war established the human race's qualifications to stand at the top of all races, but few people know the actual process of this war."
Wen Zhengming calmly tells a distant story:
"In my previous life, I was born before the war of all races. I was a monk from a niche sect. The technique I practiced was called the art of witchcraft. Not many people in the world could master it, but I was one of them. Later, I became a great witch of the human race. This was the beginning of the war of all races."
"It was an extremely brutal war, even more brutal than the wars you are seeing now. Countless races became history in that war. Everywhere in the wilderness was littered with corpses. Later, the human race was almost extinct."
"At that time, I became enlightened during the great war between all races that shook the entire universe. I used the art of witchcraft to prove my truth and used my great magical powers to pacify the entire wilderness. Because my fist was the biggest, everyone obeyed me."
Wen Zhengming said it lightly, but Mosca was actually shocked.
Naturally, he had heard of the War of Ten Thousand Races. It was a war that determined the status of all races in the universe. It ended with the human race rising to the top of all races. This was also the cruelest war in the entire history.
But he never thought that it would be the person in front of him who would solve the war.
And judging from what he said, he directly established the status of the human race through violent means. But this is normal, otherwise how could the myriad races, who had already gone completely crazy at the time, stop?
What kind of power is needed to quell the war among all races through violent means?
Lin Qingsheng's expression was calm. After all, he had already known this person's identity from the black-robed monk and Zhenlong.
"Later, I returned to the ancestral land of the human race. I thought that there would be no more wars in the wilderness, but they came..."
Wen Zhengming said with memories in his eyes: "The battle of the sky has begun, and these monsters have arrived."
At this point, Su Xi and the others couldn't help but look at the illusory illusion. The bloody gash in the sky had become bigger and bigger, just like rusted iron, the rust would only increase and never decrease.
Monsters emerged from it one after another, which reminded people of an ant nest.
Is that when these monsters appeared?
Su Xi thought so.
Wen Zhengming's voice continued, pointing at the monster in the illusion:
"This is a group of terrifying monsters that only have instincts. They seem to be the embodiment of all the evil in this world, but we cannot help but admire their strength. Only beings above the level of Heavenly Venerable can fight against them. They fought for a long time without a clear winner, and finally the Human Emperor asked me to drive them away."
At this point, Wen Zhengming shook his head and said, "But this is not the end."
"Is there something wrong?" Su Xi asked slowly.
Wen Zhengming glanced at him and explained, "Expulsion does not mean annihilation, so they will come again. Someone must be stationed there. All the truly strongest people in the Great Wilderness are guarding the existence of these monsters."
"It's been too long. They feel they can't continue like this. This is a never-ending crackdown. So they want to solve this problem once and for all."
“So there was a war.”
Su Xi raised his own question after hearing this: "But those Heavenly Lords didn't make a move, and you... didn't make a move either."
"I said they are a group of monsters with terrifying instincts. In addition to our instinct to attack and devour all life, they also seek good fortune and avoid danger."
At this point, Wen Zhengming pointed at himself and said, "As long as I am in the Great Wilderness, they will never completely come out of that world, and they are immortal in that world."
"The same goes for the Heavenly Lords. So if we want to completely annihilate them, we must let them all come out."
Su Xi's voice trembled when he heard this: "So... all this is bait?"
Wen Zhengming glanced at Su Xi and said, "This is a chess game. You have to pay a price to solve the problem."
“But it comes at a great cost.”
Su Xi's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, as if she was shocked by this.
No one could count exactly how many lives were lost. At least in front of Su Xi's eyes, there were countless corpses, and many of them had not even become corpses yet, having turned into complete blood.
And are these countless lives just bait?
Wen Zhengming glanced at Su Xi and said, "So you people in later generations must remember... this price."
"But don't worry, I will revive them later. The emperor hiding in the underworld has long wanted a chance to come out."
Without waiting for Su Xi to ask about the resurrection, Mosca spoke first:
"The King of the Underworld?"
He remembered that when he was on the other side of the stars, when he resurrected everyone, a terrifying emperor appeared.
Wen Zhengming chuckled and said, "You should have heard the legend that Mount Tai leads to the thirty-three heavens above and the nine underworlds below."
The three nodded. They had all heard of this legend, a very ancient legend.
But Wen Zhengming's next sentence shocked the three of them.
"This is not a legend. It's just that a long time ago, the Nine Netherworld was in too much chaos. There were always people making trouble there, making it a mess. So I sealed the Nine Netherworld. Now it's about time, and it's time to open it. After all..."
Having said this, Wen Zhengming paused and said slowly:
"The emperor of the underworld is very tough, and I don't think there will be the same chaos as before."
