Chapter 638 The Truth of the Disaster
Living a life of lying flat with multiple purposes did not last long, as the storms of the times always pushed everyone forward involuntarily.
Something even more terrifying happened! On this day, all the creatures on Pangu Continent saw a moment that they would remember for the rest of their lives: the sun dropped from the horizon as never before, and the earth was greeted by darkness. A brilliant starry sky hung in the sky! People of this era had never witnessed the night, and seeing the twinkling stars, they were actually panicked and panicked to the extreme.
"The world is ending!"
People were crying and fighting each other. Panic continued to spread. Red mist brought by the blood sacrifice was floating around the world. It was like a doomsday carnival.
For the last few disciples on the floating mountain, there is something even more tragic...
"Big Brother is missing!"
"Why? Why is this happening?!"
Duomu ran along the mountain road with red eyes, wanting to get an explanation from his master.
No one knows where the majestic golden-haired tiger man went. Maybe he escaped, or maybe he died without anyone noticing...
The last few remaining disciples also packed up their belongings and started to flee. Duomu was the only disciple left in the huge floating mountain.
All the birds and beasts seemed to sense something and kept wailing and howling.
Lu Yuan felt the panic of the Immortal Giant Turtle and kept comforting his good brother.
At this moment, a hoarse voice was finally heard in the hall which had been silent for a long time.
"The time after the sun sets is called night."
"From today on, half of the day will be day and half will be night."
"This is the general trend of this world. It is a natural phenomenon. We are powerless and can only accept this reality."
This is Master Turtle's voice.
Duomu kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of the voice, but he was still not satisfied with this explanation.
Duomu cried and asked, "I have many questions. I beg you to help me. Who killed those villagers?"
"Where is the eldest brother? You have been researching for so long, what have you found?"
As he asked this series of questions, he couldn't help but feel nervous, as if he was waiting for judgment.
Master Turtle sighed, and the voice came from the top of the mountain: "Duomu, you take a rest first. Seven days later, on the top of Kunlun, I will tell you the truth."
"More guests will come here in the next few days. Do not conflict with them and maintain the appearance of our Mo Sect... Alas, is there no one here now?"
These last few days have been extremely difficult.
There was no moon in this era. When the sun went down, the stars all over the mountains looked normal at first, but later they became inexplicably hideous, like a pair of malicious eyes.
Every star is an idealistic source, but most stars are unable to support life, so they evolved into a tremendous hostility towards Pangu Continent.
A meteor suddenly streaked across the night sky. The momentary trace of light made the stars look even older. A huge roar came from the sky. Those were meteorites falling from the sky, bringing pollution and frost.
As the wind swept across the wilderness, the entire starry sky trembled slightly on the tips of the grass.
This scene was witnessed for the first time by the living beings of this era.
Also, because the sun never set in the past, lighting items such as candles were scarce.
Those huge cities fell into darkness one after another.
Fortunately, Duomu himself was a craftsman and had nothing to do, so he made an ever-burning lamp.
He had a premonition that seven days from now would be the day when everything would turn into nothingness, life and death, and everything would shake to pieces.
He was not afraid of death, but had been looking forward to it for a long time.
He just wanted to know the truth.
So he installed the Eternal Light on the Immortal Giant Turtle and said with a smile: "You little guy, you have eaten so many of my treasures but you haven't grown any taller. I really don't know what kind of creature you are."
"Huh?" The Immortal Giant Turtle was only the size of a washbasin at this moment, and its four short legs were still quite strong.
"You can't even defeat the vision that was just born... I'm really worried about you. If I die, can you survive?"
The immortal giant turtle has developed a subtle spiritual intelligence, and it shouted "Wa Ga Ga" and seemed very unconvinced.
"By the way, you won't die... You are the symbol of immortality."
Duomu sighed: "You can escape with this lamp. Find a rich family. For the sake of Momen, you can always survive."
"From today on, I am no longer your master. Let's go."
The eternal lantern was quite exquisite. The red light it emitted could scare away some predators. There was also a word "ink" written on the lantern.
As for Lu Yuan, who had a very low sense of presence, he was once again ignored by Duomu - well, Lu Yuan was used to it, as he could not change the outcome of such a big thing.
He, Lu Yuan, is equivalent to a vassal of the immortal giant turtle. He just needs to follow behind.
Then, Duomu began to sharpen the sword, and the "sizzling" sound seemed particularly crisp in the dim environment.
The Zhu Xian Sword was originally a supremely sharp divine weapon that would never wear out, but he was still polishing it carefully, wanting to make it even sharper, perhaps just to seek a little psychological comfort...
As the days passed, from the top of the mountain, there were horrifying auras and huge roars coming from time to time.
The legendary strong men of this era came to the top of Kunlun Mountain one by one. Fortunately, Kunlun Mountain was big enough, and the top of Kunlun was like a large exhibition stand that could accommodate so many strong men.
It was the first time that Lu Yuan saw these strange and powerful myths.
Most of them were surrounded by an ominous red light. Even if they tried their best to restrain the red light, this strange aura made people feel very uncomfortable, as if it was the natural enemy of life.
"Are they...ghosts?" The concept of ghosts popped up in Lu Yuan's mind.
But soon, he shook his head again.
These innate myths obviously possess rationality, but their aura is still a level lower than that of the terrifying "ghosts".
"Is this the result of the blood sacrifice, or is it the infinite Qi..."
There are also a small number of innate myths that do not have this red light, but their combat effectiveness is slightly weaker than those with red light.
Lu Yuan vaguely felt that the combat power of these without red light might be similar to that of the ancient insects.
"Wait... who is Gu Chong?"
The thought disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lu Yuan felt a sense of confusion in his mind and knew that he was going to lose his memory again. He hurriedly hid in a house on the mountainside with the immortal giant turtle and looked at those innate myths.
This is how the world is under the impact of the times. If you don’t use “Infinite Qi”, you will slowly lose in the long-term struggle.
Therefore, most myths have that strange aura.
"They came here to find out the reason for the night..." Duomu said angrily, "Most of them have sacrificed many lives... They clearly have unlimited Qi, but they still sacrifice others. How greedy they are."
Then, he sighed again: "Even if I have the Immortal Execution Sword, I am still far from being their opponent."
Of course, even in mythology, the two masters of Kunlun Mountain, Crane and Turtle, are still top-level existences.
These foreign leaders did not make things difficult for these youngsters, and would ignore them if they saw it.
Seven days later, Duomu set off with the Zhuxian Sword in his arms.
He jogged along the mountain path, recalling the past days with a lot of emotion in his heart. He was so high-spirited at that time, as if he could kill all the darkness.
But in just a few years, everything changed.
Human power is limited, but the laws of nature are determined.
The junior brother disappeared, and even the eldest brother disappeared... When will it be my turn? The immortal giant turtle sensed the change in the master's mood and followed him, shouting "Wow, wow, wow".
"Why are you following me? Go back! Don't you know there are many terrifying beings on the top of the mountain?"
"You go!"
"Get lost! This is my business, you're just a turtle! Don't follow me!"
"I told you to get out, did you hear me? Get out!"
"Waaaaaa!" the immortal giant turtle shouted fiercely.
"Alas... why are you doing this... even if you are immortal, why do you have to suffer so much?" Duomu turned around and stroked its back with a trembling voice, "Be obedient and take the eternal lamp with you to find a good family. I beg you, don't follow me."
He left.
In just a blink of an eye, the immortal giant turtle was left behind.
The little turtle still refused to give in, so he stretched out his short legs and headed for the top of the mountain.
Lu Yuan hid aside with little sense of presence and did not interfere in anything.
He was just a bystander.
Everything is just a story of the past...
But after experiencing it personally, I will sigh again, no matter in ancient times or modern times, the only thing that remains unchanged is the burning feelings, which are the most precious things in the idealistic world, more precious than diamonds.
The Immortal Giant Turtle climbed halfway and could no longer move forward, as if an invisible barrier blocked its direction of advance - the idealistic fluctuations in front were too violent, and its small body could not get close at all.
It thought of another way, found a cliff and started climbing frantically.
It climbed very hard, using all its strength on its short, stubby limbs.
Lu Yuan could clearly help it, but he didn't dare to, for he was afraid that he would lose his memory at the critical moment.
Fortunately, it was a vision after all, and it took great effort to climb to the top of a mountain.
The mountain where the "Billion-Mile Mirror" is located is called the Peak of Kunlun, while the one that the Immortal Giant Turtle climbed is just an ordinary mountain. It and Duomu can only be viewed from a distance.
"Master Turtle, I'm sorry."
"Wahaha!" The immortal giant turtle could only make this one syllable, and at the moment it seemed a little sad.
The top of Kunlun Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, with numerous birds and beasts. Many mythical leaders looked like giants, with circles of halos behind them, like wheels of merit.
There are also some mythological visions, like tall mountains.
They want to know the truth behind the appearance of "Night"!
As the sun rose on the seventh day, the dispirited Crane Hermit walked out with the support of Turtle Hermit.
It can be seen that Hermit Crane is in a very bad condition.
Both of his eyeballs were bloodshot, and there was a faint trace of blood on his body.
Lu Yuan saw many eyes.
When Duomu saw the bloody aura on his master's body, his face showed despair and a hint of sadness.
But he said nothing, just held his sword in his pocket, tears flowing from his eyes.
"Everyone, you have come to the top of Kunlun Mountain to learn more about the truth. I will tell you in detail here." Master Roshi looked at the expression of his disciples and sighed softly.
"I call this catastrophe an epochal disaster. It will be very difficult to survive this time."
He looked at a few of the myths who looked clearer and bloodless: "You haven't used the 'Infinite Qi' yet, so you should avoid it for now."
"Why can't we know?" one of them asked.
"This information is poisonous. After listening to it, you will suffer extremely serious sequelae. If you are not afraid of death, you can stay... As long as you listen to it, you will become like him."
Master Kame pointed at Master Crane, who looked haggard.
"We need to preserve some fire...you guys go!"
The sound was like the loud bang of a huge bell, making Lu Yuan's head buzz.
His eyes widened.
These words are not only spoken to those "innate myths", but also to ourselves in the historical fantasy.
He felt that he was once again facing a fork in the road of fate.
One is a difficult path with no end in sight.
There is another way back.
I can’t listen any more, let’s leave this historical illusion - it’s as if there is a voice whispering in my ears.
Countless lessons are laid out before us. There are countless brilliant minds in history, but all of them failed in the eight eras.
Just the Turtle Master and the Crane Master of Kunlun Mountain have extraordinary talents. How can you change everything? Lu Yuan, please turn back.
But, he came here.
Standing here.
Lu Yuan felt like the little Bixi that was afraid to break out of its shell, hesitating and not daring to break through the last boundary.
Then, he laughed at himself and set out on the more difficult path.
This choice was like traveling from one world to another, and the time of the entire historical fantasy began to flow again.
Master Roshi drove away the myths that had not used the "Infinite Qi", looked at the rising sun, and slowly said: "There are yin and yang in the world... Yin alone cannot grow, and yang alone cannot be born. The combination of yin and yang gave birth to the universe."
"Have you ever wondered why the sun of our Pangu Continent always hangs in the sky?"
"Why?" someone asked.
"Because my Pangu Continent is the Yang World, it symbolizes vitality and vigor."
"You mean, there is a netherworld? Where is the netherworld?" Instead of being frightened, many myths became excited.
Because this world is still too small for them, there are too many myths, the internal conflict is too serious, and the wars are too frequent. They urgently need a larger territory to command their people! They need more lives for blood sacrifice! "How big is the underworld? How many lives are there? Tell me quickly!!"
But for Lu Yuan, this information was like a bolt from the blue. He inexplicably recalled that in his own world of Qiankun, there were also two worlds, one yin and one yang.
The Yang World can accommodate all living things, while the Yin World is completely silent and icy! Master Turtle sneered and said coldly: "Where is the Yin World? You have already dragged it here! It will soon collide with Pangu Continent. Where do you think it is?"
"You mean, that world is invisible?!"
"Yes, you can't see it... It was originally on the back of the sun. Originally, one yin and one yang, revolving around each other, never interfering with each other."
"But your infinite Qi comes from the Yin world, like a string, so you pulled it over."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"That world is in chaos and cannot accommodate any life. Its size is ten thousand times, or even a hundred million times, that of Pangu Continent!"
"Even if you just glance at it, you will become insane, lose your memory, and even lose your soul! When you know it exists, you have already been affected by it... Because cognition is a kind of idealistic gravity, everything in the world has gravity!"
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated. He didn't know if it was an illusion or a real feeling. He felt a mysterious will beginning to pull at his soul.
Intense pain arises from the depths of the soul.
Even though he was a great spiritualist and had the ability to "completely spiritualize", he still couldn't resist! At this moment, the world suddenly shattered. The sky was like a movie screen that went straight to the sky and the earth, becoming vertical to the earth. The mountains stretched down densely until they became infinitely small... until they reached an endless abyss!
Lu Yuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and began to doubt his life: "I... am I going to die just like this?"
Fortunately, this historical illusion has a protective function.
The hazy feeling surged into his heart, causing his brain to lose its ability to function. Only then did Lu Yuan recover. He kept gasping for breath, and was extremely scared.
Master Kame continued, "You have probably tasted the bitter fruit a long time ago. Every time you wake up from your sleep, you feel confused and anxious all day long. You feel the source of that infinite power, as if it could pull you over at any time."
"That's why he uses blood sacrifice to maintain his sanity. Am I right?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
It's an open secret.
Since using the infinite Qi, the combat effectiveness of these innate myths has indeed increased greatly, but they must regularly perform blood sacrifices to maintain their self-will - although in the eyes of many myths, blood sacrifices are not a serious matter.
There are too many living creatures on this continent, just like tigers eat deer and wolves eat rabbits. Animals have to devour other creatures if they want to survive. Under this kind of survival of the fittest mentality, blood sacrifice of the weak is common.
But because of the influence of the underworld, losing consciousness and being hungry and eating are two different things.
"Is there a solution? Can we solve it by killing the root cause?"
"Kill? How? That is a world, not a life. How can you destroy a world? Do you have the ability?"
Master Kame's face suddenly darkened, and he said in despair, "We have been looking for a long time, but we can't find a solution."
"This is the rule! The underworld cannot accommodate life or wisdom?"
"Just like most of the worlds in the Sea of Chaos are uninhabitable, this loss of consciousness is the rule! How can we go against the rules? There is no way."
