Chapter 433 Invaders from Outside the World
In fact, it was not until Ao Xing completely escaped from Tanggu's range and avoided the pursuit of the terrifying fallen dragon.
It had no idea what was wrong with the Dragon of Pain, and even though it knew the truth, it still attacked the "tentacles" of the fallen dragon.
"Where are we now?"
After taking a long breath, Ao Xing found himself in a strange place again.
Unlike the absolute darkness in other areas, this place still has a little light.
However, this faint light does not bring heat, but an inexplicable coolness.
This coolness is not cold, not frosty, but a pleasant coolness.
It's a bit like the cool feeling in autumn.
For some reason, after Ao Xing came into contact with the light, he felt that his body seemed to be awakening a new instinct.
"This is moonlight, and it is also the only source of light in this dark world."
Quietly appearing beside Ao Xing, the Dragon of Pain also felt the light with a look of pleasure, and the expression on his face gradually changed from calm to relieved.
"moonlight?"
Hearing what the Dragon of Pain said, Ao Xing immediately remembered what the other party had said before.
In this parallel world of mountains and seas, the sun and the moon had already fallen long ago, and fell to the far east and the far west respectively.
The place they had passed before was Tanggu, located in the far east. It was the place where the sun rose before setting, and it was also the direction where the moon would fall.
βIs this where the moon fell?β
With an astonishment that was difficult to conceal, Ao Xing suddenly realized that the Dragon of Pain had not just escaped randomly along the way.
The other party was consciously guiding himself to this far east, to the place where the moon fell.
"Why did you bring me here? What is your purpose?"
Ao Xing had long suspected the purpose of the Dragon of Pain approaching him, and asked in a deliberately low voice.
"I'm just confirming your identity."
Shaking his head calmly, the Painful Dragon finally confirmed Ao Xing's origins at this moment - confirming that the other party had not lied to him in the previous conversation.
"Moonlight is the most gentle light in the world, but it is also the cruelest screening mechanism."
"Only beings born in the world of mountains and seas can bathe in the moonlight so closely and dispel the anxiety and darkness in their hearts."
"If you lied before, you would suffer from 'moon phobia' after coming here, and you would never be able to sleep peacefully again."
Simply put, in this mythological worldview, the sun, moon, and stars are the world's self-protection mechanisms.
Even though the sun and moon have fallen, the world's protective mechanisms have become riddled with holes.
However, alien creatures and even gods will be cursed by the moon when they face its light directly.
"The prophets did not teach me this knowledge..."
After listening to the explanation of the Dragon of Pain, Ao Xing was stunned and silent for a long time, then he smiled bitterly with some helplessness.
Although I know that there is nothing wrong with the Dragon of Pain's behavior.
But deep in Ao Xing's heart, he inevitably felt betrayed.
You know, after a series of life and death chases, Ao Xing had already regarded the Dragon of Pain as a friend.
For Ao Xing, who was born in the mountain and sea world in a peaceful era, this feeling of being betrayed by a friend was enough to make him depressed for a long time.
Not to mention, the behavior of the Dragon of Pain also indirectly proves that this world must have been visited by outsiders in the past.
Otherwise, the Dragon of Pain would never have such vigilance and means of verification.
"What on earth happened in this world?"
"What exactly are you?"
In this situation, even if Ao Xing's reaction was slow, he knew that the painful dragon in front of him could not be an ordinary Karen or fallen dragon.
"who I am?"
βI really want to know who I am.β
After a long sigh, the Dragon of Pain did not directly answer Ao Xing's question, but asked a question in return out of great curiosity.
"Ao Xing, have you ever thought about a question?"
"Why did the sun and the moon fall at the same time?"
After hearing this, Ao Xing couldn't help but be stunned, because this question was once again beyond its knowledge.
Based on the myths that have been passed down in the mountains and seas since ancient times.
When the world was on the verge of destruction, it was the Creator who awakened the Storm Apostle Jimong and allowed him to raise the sun back into the sky.
After that, in order to maintain the normal operation of the Sun and the Sun of Sin, the Sun God, the Snake, returned to his position, always shouldering the responsibility of controlling the sun and spreading light.
Perhaps it was because he was influenced by this myth and legend that Ao Xing instinctively believed that the sun must fall when the world was destroyed.
But now that I think about it, there is no record of the moon falling in the myths and legends of the mountain and sea world.
In other words, the fall of the sun and the moon is not actually a necessary condition for the destruction of the world.
So now comes the question.
What happened in this parallel world of mountains and seas that caused the sun and the moon to fall at the same time?
"Why?"
"When you told me the history of this world before, did you hide something?"
Knowing that he would not be able to come up with any useful information by guessing blindly, Ao Xing asked calmly and directly.
"Yes, I did hide something."
"For example, those invaders from outside the world."
As Ao Xing expected, the Dragon of Pain slowly answered the doubts in its heart.
When the world is on the verge of destruction and when the world's barriers disappear, those lost gods or evil gods from outside the world will naturally be the first to rush into this ruined world.
Whether it's for the legacy of this world, or to plunder more faith...
A world on the verge of destruction is enough to attract many malicious invaders, bringing crisis to the lives still existing in this world.
At that time, the Karen people had not yet been born and the sun and moon had not yet set.
The broken world targeted by an indescribable existence has encountered its first crisis since the death of Dragon Ancestor Zhu Jiuyin.
Crazy looting, crazy destruction...
Those lost gods and evil gods who hold power intend to plunder all things that still have value in this world before the Mountain and Sea Realm completely falls into the [Sinking Zone].
Among these, the sun and the moon hanging high in the sky are naturally the most valuable things.
Unfortunately, there are far more than one gods and evil gods eyeing the sun and the moon, and the struggle between them has affected the original movement of the sun and the moon.
Not only that, the battles between those lost gods and evil gods also alarmed some even more terrifying existences.
When the war was at its most intense, some creatures that had been sealed and suppressed by the Mountain and Sea Dragon Clan, and even by the Dragon Ancestor Zhu Jiuyin himself, appeared quietly.
"They are beings who have defeated and even killed gods."
