Chapter 2095 The Past of a Broken Generation

Under the threat of Talid's aura, Lucy revealed a lot of secrets to Lin Jiu and the others in order to prove that she was not without them. These secrets have nothing to do with the current situation, but they are related to the past of the Yimi Continent.

There is a serious gap in the past of the Yimi Continent. If it is divided, it is after the first elemental catastrophe, which includes the present and is not much different from the present. The previous period is before the first elemental catastrophe, and the previous period is the Age of Gods.

The Age of Gods began with the creator god Caius who appeared in the world introduction. After Caius created the Yimi Continent, he disappeared. In order to maintain the balance of the Yimi Continent, the gods appeared in this world.

Lin Jiu saw almost all the information from the world introduction, but from Lucy, he learned more detailed content. Under the balance of the gods, the Yimi Continent entered a period of rapid development.

As human strength continues to grow, when food and clothing are no longer a survival issue, life becomes the only problem that restricts human development. Although natural magic has given humans infinite power, it cannot obtain immortality.

Therefore, many magicians wanted to use human alchemy to merge humans with the essence of other life, trying to prolong life. But the result was completely different from the alchemist's idea. These people were reshaped into some new species with different forms, collectively called sub-humans.

Sub-humans were regarded as freaks by humans, and were eventually exiled and forced to leave human society. During the exile, they had differences in their attitude towards humans. Due to the fusion of the essence of life of different species, sub-humans have different personalities. Some are as aggressive as carnivores, while others are as gentle and docile as herbivores.

The former hated humans. They could not forget the unfair treatment they had received in human society and longed to take revenge on humans one day; the latter advocated peace. In the end, the war faction and the peace faction parted ways.

The war faction came to the uninhabited wilderness, which is now the Taro Desert, and began a difficult survival and formed an orc tribe. They multiplied from generation to generation, growing stronger day by day, and never forgot their ancestral precepts of revenge on humans, waiting for the day to launch a war against humans.

The Lord and the Paia people migrated to the Dusk Jungle, far away from the hustle and bustle, and settled down here. Their gentle and kind nature made them quickly become allies with the animals and even elemental creatures in the Dusk Jungle, and together they formed the Cang Yue Council, which is now the Cang Yue Alliance.

Mello was shocked to learn from Lucy that the origin of their Cang Yue Alliance was actually humans, and they were actually the same kind as the Oro tribe.

Of course, the following news was even more explosive. Although alchemy failed, some magicians were not reconciled. They turned their attention to the world after death. Since life cannot be extended, can it continue to exist in another form after death? In the end, these magicians created a forbidden spell that can resurrect the dead: necromancy.

Undead creatures resurrected by necromancy are no longer bound by life and death. They have almost immortal life and have developed a group will similar to that of a bee colony. Most low-level undead have no personal will and are driven like zombies. Only a small number of high-level undead have self-awareness and lead the entire group like a queen bee.

The undead have dug a huge and continuous tomb group underground. They usually stay in the tomb chamber and do not contact other races. Whenever a war breaks out between other races, they appear on the battlefield after the war like scavengers, collecting piles of corpses and the souls of the dead on the battlefield and transforming them into their own kind. Over thousands of years, they have grown stronger and formed a force that can compete with other races.

This is so outrageous. In today's Yimi Continent, in addition to the invading demon creatures, there are four major forces: orcs, Cangyue Alliance, undead, and humans. The first three of them were actually born because of humans.

At the same time, Lin Jiu also knew why the alchemy mentioned in the world introduction has never been found. This thing may have been played into a forbidden technique by humans of that period. It only exists in a few records and is difficult to access.

In the Age of Gods, after the disappearance of the God of Creation Caius, there were two strongest gods among the gods, one was the God of Life Lina, and the other was the God of Death Roy. Because Caius disappeared for too long, many creatures on the Imi Continent later regarded Lina as the legendary God of Creation.

Yes, this God of Death Roy is also the current Lord of Demons. Roy was the first to contact the place where the abyss energy invaded the Abyss of Annihilation, and the gods called it the Well of Annihilation.

This is not surprising. In many worlds invaded by the abyss, the ultimate boss is a strong man who originally existed in that world. The God of Death Roy was not only assimilated by the abyss energy, but also created a family of demon creatures and became the Lord of Demons.

Lina gathered the power of the gods to eliminate most of the demons, and sealed the Lord of Demons Roy and the remaining demons in the Abyss of Annihilation. After that, even the gods who survived disappeared, and it was said that they were guarding the Oblivion Abyss. Thus, the Age of Gods came to an end.

Although the gods won, they could not kill all the demons, but only sealed them under the Oblivion Abyss, burying the hidden danger of future outbreaks.

As the war between gods and demons ended for a thousand years, the four tribes continued to develop while facing various internal and external troubles. But they gradually forgot the horror of demons, and the demons were constantly accumulating strength, preparing to break through the suppression of the Oblivion Abyss.

The result has already happened, that is, the first elemental catastrophe. The demons are accumulating power. What power are they accumulating? Naturally, it is the secondary derivative energy of the abyss. The huge dark demon power accumulated in the Annihilation Abyss quietly eroded the mountains and elements of this world, causing the elements to be unbalanced and triggering the elemental catastrophe.

In fact, the elemental catastrophe is the real disaster that endangers the entire world. The war between gods and demons at the end of the Age of Gods was just a struggle of power between the two sides. Even though the entire continent was devastated, it did not endanger the essence.

With the continuous accumulation of the secondary energy of the abyss, the elemental power of this world began to be unbalanced, which would trigger a disaster of world destruction. The two disasters are essentially different.

The follow-up is that the elemental master that Lin Jiu already knew appeared and set up a new magic circle to restore the balance of the elements. This can be regarded as a self-rescue behavior of the elements themselves, selecting the most suitable agent to maintain the balance of the elements.

Lin Jiu, who learned of this news, did not gain nothing. At least he knew the origin of the ultimate boss of the demon side and the meaning of the existence of the elemental master.

The consequence of the imbalance of elements is that the world will be constantly polluted by the secondary energy of the abyss, and the elementalists can purify these pollutants with the power of natural elements. Therefore, when the elementalists exist in the Yimi Continent, they can barely maintain the balance of elements and suppress the elemental catastrophe.

Then Lin Jiu also deduced a piece of information, that is, in the war decades ago, there must be hidden elementalists who secretly purified the energy erosion. Otherwise, even if the demon creatures were repelled openly, it would be impossible to suppress the elemental catastrophe.
