Volume 1: Dreams and Reality Chapter 1 Soul Tearing
Thousands of worlds, like shells scattered on the sand, float in the endless sea of chaotic voids, separated by infinite distances from each other.
The vast majority of creatures living in these great worlds will not be able to explore their worlds in their lifetimes, let alone know and understand this boundless void.
Only the most transcendent beings can exhaust the energy of a lifetime, and at the end of life, step into the very edge of the void and get a glimpse of this boundless chaos.
In the chaos, there is a vast world, called Dragon Soul, which has given birth to an extremely brilliant magical civilization in a long period of time, and many outstanding existences have also appeared.
At this time, the edge of the Dragon Soul World, the junction of order and chaos.
There were various elements as vast as the sea surging violently, making a tidal whistling sound, and finally gradually merging, turning into gray chaotic elements.
Adjacent to the Dragon Soul World, there is a small island suspended in the void, with a radius of no more than ten zhang, like a small piece of mountain rock pryed down from the mountain, which is not very inconspicuous.
However, in the void, there should not be any matter, and such a small island represents a miracle that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
At the edge of the floating island, there stood a fox man with a stiff figure.
The fox man was already very old, and his original fiery red fur had turned gray.
The foxtail exposed under the hemp gray robe behind him didn't even have any gray hair, and he could easily see the loose skin on the foxtail.
The fox man's eyes looked into the gray endless void in the distance, and there was a deep and wise light in his eyes, as if he could see all the truths of the world. A pale gray elemental stream surrounded him, like a living spirit snake, fluctuating with the divine light in the fox's eyes.
Just as the fox man was looking at the swirling dark red vortex below the floating island, behind him, on the ground of the floating island, the originally dim magic array suddenly lit up, and then a white light flew out of the magic array and landed on the ground, condensing into a tall figure.
It was a dark-skinned, majestic minotaur dressed in black armor with five totem poles of different colors stuck in his waist, surrounded by the four elements of joy.
It's just that for some reason, the figure of this minotaur is a little illusory, as if it is a reflection in the water, and a slight touch of his hand can break him up into a distorted halo.
The fox man turned and looked at the Minotaur who suddenly appeared with a calm gaze.
"Teacher. He bowed respectfully.
Zur nodded, and turned around again, his gaze still falling on the dark red Chaos Vortex below the floating island.
"I received your soul message, Enlightenment. Zur the fox man still looked at the Endless Void and said to the disciples behind him, "I have communicated with the Astral Elemental here, and the result is very bad. I believe that your divination also reveals this. ”
Xianjue frowned: "The divination results are very vague, and they only tell me that they are bad and bad." ”
Zur nodded: "After all, it is a summoning from another world, and even with your ability, it is almost impossible to make an accurate divination about it. ”
"Summoned from another world, what does it want me to do?" said Prophet's brow furrowed a little deeper.
Zur's voice remained flat and said, "It wants you back." ”
Xianjue's expression froze.
Even though he had been with the teacher in front of him for five years, even though he trusted the teacher in front of him very much, for various reasons, he never told Zur that he was a visitor from another world. At this time, Zuer said the word "go back", obviously knowing the origin of the seer, which made the seer a little frightened.
Zur was keenly aware of Prophet's emotions, smiled and waved his hand, glanced back at Prophet, and said, "From the first time I saw you, I knew that you, the black bull, contained the soul of a human from another world. It's nothing, I'm still willing to teach you, and time has proven that you're the most gifted priest I've ever met in all these years. ”
Hearing this, Xianjue calmed down.
Of course...... The teacher is such a powerful priest, how can this little thing be hidden from him...... It used to be me who was ridiculous.
Xianjue thought a little self-deprecatingly.
"Teacher, what should I do?" asked Xianjue.
Today, he came to the Void Vortex to find Zur in order to get the help of his teacher.
Zur asked rhetorically, "The important thing is, what do you want to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the resurrection technique you've been looking for all these years is for that world, right? ”
Zur continued.
It took him five full years to find the magic of resurrection in this world, and he also spent five full years to forget the previous world and the past experience.
Today, five years later, he has finally given up the pursuit of the ethereal resurrection, and finally accepted this gradually familiar dragon soul world, and is ready to find a place with a crisp bamboo sound to settle down.
But who knows, fate seems to be destined not to let him be idle, and at this time, he will let his soul go back to where he came from!
Xianjue thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "Although the resurrection technique does not exist, I still want to return to that world. However, instead of going back like this, the world was so eager to launch a compulsive summoning to me, which made me uncomfortable. I would go back, but not like this, not now. ”
Zur nodded, and an old piece of parchment appeared out of thin air in his hand.
In fact, in his opinion, what Xianjue said was somewhat arrogant.
Even Zuer can't freely shuttle through the void, let alone the prescient? How can the other world come and go when he wants? The current opportunity for the other world to summon Shen Yuan's soul is probably the best chance for Shen Yuan to return.
However, Zur did not persuade him.
At this time, the strength of the prophet was already at the top of the entire world, only inferior to a few dozen people. It is reasonable for a strong man like him to take the initiative and control over himself very seriously, and he is unwilling to return to that world so passively.
"If that's what you think, that's what you do. This is an ancient totem circle that was originally used to imprison souls. I've changed it a bit, and it should help you resist the call from another world. ”
Zur paused, and waited until Prophet had taken the parchment in his hand before he continued, "You go to the Cloudless Cliff first and set up this totem circle in the Pool of Foresight. Let Angus help you suppress the formation eye, although he is only a warrior, but after all, he is also a powerful warrior of the Holy Realm, and it should be more than enough to suppress the formation eye. ”
"Then ...... you," Xianjue asked, looking at the parchment in his hand.
"I'll be there then, and it will take some time to break free from the chains of the Void. Zul the fox man looked at the swirling void vortex below, and the chaotic elemental flow around him seemed to tremble a little more violently.
Xianjue nodded, bowed to Zur again, and left the floating island hanging in the endless void.
He has settled down a lot in his heart, and since the teacher is willing to help him, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
......
At the same time, in the infinite distance of chaos, in a world called Earth, a blood-like sunset is setting in the west of the African continent, as if to bring the souls of the dead on this land to a peaceful heaven.
Today, however, most of the souls who die in this land are destined to never rest in peace.
In a primitive tribe in southwestern Africa, the fertile black soil has been stained red with thick plasma, and the broken human limbs, bone fragments, twisted organs and skin are painted in this large village in a picture of hell.
The terrible screams echoed and raged throughout the village, as if to compose an even more cruel music to praise this horrific picture.
The demon who kills people in hell today is an Asian boy.
The boy was wearing a red jumper, and the dark blue jeans on his lower body were soaked in blood, dripping down the boy's trouser legs.
No matter who it is, seeing everything that is happening in this village, it is difficult to realize that this is a boy, his face is so crazy and violent, his eyes are burned red by the blood rushing in his body, how can a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy look like?
"No, no, please!"
In front of the boy, a frightened old black woman pleaded in English with a thick accent. She collapsed on the muddy ground, squirming backwards, trying to get away from the demon in front of her, who had slaughtered half of the village.
The boy looked at the old woman's frightened eyes, smiled fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid, come and devote yourself to my great cause!
The old woman shook her head and crawled backwards crying.
The boy condensed an earthy yellow earth element in his hand, which quickly became hard and sharp.
He bent down and easily stabbed the elemental blade in his hand into the old woman's back, then slashed upward, tearing a hideous wound.
The old woman let out a desperate wail, slowly twitching her body, and her eyes gradually lost their brightness.
The boy stooped down and picked up the old woman, put her on his shoulder, and walked to another shivering villager not far away, the corpse on his shoulder was constantly flowing down with thick blood, and from time to time scarlet organs fell to the ground, adding another line to the picture.
His seemingly casual actions, but there seemed to be some kind of law and rhythm in it, every blood, every corpse, from a high altitude, became a part of a mysterious magic circle, as the magic circle gradually took shape, a white statue placed in the middle slowly dispersed a blood-red luster, towards the endless and distant dragon soul world to launch one after another vague summons.
......
Located in the northeastern part of the Bluestone Plain, Cloudless Cliff is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Dragon Soul World.
The cliff is thousands of feet high, the top of the cliff is flat and wide, like a piece of heaven hanging in the clouds. The circular mountain wall below it is cylindrical straight up and down, and you can't see the undulations on the ordinary peaks at all, and the whole cloudless cliff is like a bamboo tube placed on the table, standing abruptly on the bluestone plain, and the shadows cast in the early morning and evening can run through most of the plain.
This terrain coincides with the living habits of the Minotaur people, so as early as 10,000 years ago, there were rough tents and mysterious totem poles unique to the Minotaurs established on this cloudless cliff.
It was night, and the stars hung over the cloudless cliff with the bright moon, as if it was very close to the cloudless cliff, and it was as if you could touch the clear moonlight falling from the sky with just your hand.
In the belly of the Cloudless Cliff Mountain, there is a deep and wide cave, and a mountain spring with a seven-colored halo gushes out of the deepest part of the cave, making the cave seem as if it is not in the world.
Next to the Foresight Pool composed of seven-colored mountain springs, the figure of the Prophet is busy, placing the soul totems in his hands around the Foresight Pool one by one.
After leaving the Void Island that Zur had been guarding all year round, it only took a dozen breaths for him to open up a celestial passage and come to the Pool of Foresight of the Cloudless Cliff.
I don't know if it's because he just used the power of the astral realm, he felt the movement of the void again, so the movement in his hand sped up by two points, wanting to finish building this soul totem array before the earth world summoned him again.
Not long after, when the three hundred and fifty totem poles in the hands of the prophet were half-inserted, another tall minotaur appeared by the pool of foresight, looked at the busy prophet, and asked angrily, "Prophet, what is this for?"
"You're here, Angus. Xianjue was not surprised at the appearance of this minotaur chieftain, but just beckoned: "I have a little trouble, Teacher Zur will come to help me later, and you will also come to help me suppress the formation." ”
Angus raised a heavy eyebrow, muttered something in a low voice, walked over to the seer, took some totem poles, and slowly arranged them according to the parchment that the seer had hung on the cave wall.
With Angus' help, the Soul Totem Circle was quickly formed, and a fine turquoise soul link rose up in the array, connecting all the totem poles into a single whole.
Angus sat at the head of the formation, and his majestic aura was like a needle of the sea god, suppressing the entire soul totem array.
The seer sat in the array, where all the soul links intersected.
These soul links, the moment the seer sat down, all turned into turquoise chains, trapping the seer's soul firmly in place, unable to move a bit.
Just now, he felt that the astral elements surrounding him were gently touching him all the time, and although he didn't burst out with a strong swallowing force again, this kind of touch still made Xianjue very anxious.
The thing that Xianjue feared the most was that Zur had not yet arrived, and his soul had been sucked away.
In this case, the seer will lose all his strength and dependence, and only the mellow spiritual power that is unique to the priest and cannot make an active attack will remain, but what is the use?
But now, feeling the powerful binding ability condensed by the soul totem array, Xianjue finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It wasn't until this time that Angus finally had a chance to ask, "What the hell is going on?"
Segara sighed, "There is another world calling me to drain my soul away. ”
"What?" Angus's cow face was full of disbelief, just like the last time he ate goblin-specific cow dung bread in Booty Bay.
Prophet just answered. It's hard to understand, especially for a muscular minotaur warrior like Angus.
Angus didn't think much about it, he knew it wasn't his strong point, so he asked, "When is he coming?"
Foresight knew that Angus was asking Zur: "For a moment, he was untying the chains of the Void. ”
Angus shut his mouth in disgust, for him the Void Chains was a more difficult subject than understanding the summoning of another world.
At this moment, Xianjue's complexion changed, and the astral elements around him quickly distorted, forming a vortex that enveloped him, causing his body to be distorted into a blur of light and shadow.
"Here it is again, the power of the suction will be very large, and the soul totem array will vibrate violently, you must suppress it!" said Xianjue eagerly.
In the next moment, the suction force that was so powerful that it was almost irresistible and directly acted on the soul directly grabbed the soul of the seer, wanting to pull him out of the body of the seer.
The soul chains in the totem array tightened one by one, like a giant dragon with its head fluttering at the other end of the chain, and let out an overwhelmed moan.
Xianjue quickly sensed that something was wrong, compared to the pulling force of the first astral plane, how much more than ten times the pulling force this time?
How could it be...... How can it be?
A sense of absurdity rose in the heart of the Prophet, such a powerful force, not to mention only acting on his own soul, even if it directly acts on the Dragon Soul World, it will have a huge impact on this world.
The totem poles planted around the Pool of Foresight all trembled, and seemed to be about to be uprooted from the ground.
Angus, who was at the head of the formation, also shook a few times, he let out a cry of surprise, his muscles and flesh were raised, his body seemed to be more majestic, and his legs were deeply embedded in the mountain wall.
Angus was worthy of being a powerful warrior of the Holy Realm, and such a powerful and earth-shaking suction force was actually suppressed by his life, and the trembling of all the soul totems disappeared together.
However, the real problem had just appeared, and the distorted astral elements around the Prophet Body had turned into a Void Gate, and a strange and familiar soul aura had crossed over from the far end of the Void Gate!
This soul breath is familiar to Prophet and Angus, because the owner of this soul breath is definitely the original inhabitants of the Dragon Soul World. The strangeness is due to the fact that both Prophet and Angus are certain that they have never seen this soul.
At the same time, in the village in the west of Africa, the boy finally finished killing, cut the hunter in the last village in front of him into more than ten pieces, and threw it at the foot of the god statue standing in the village, closing the huge formation drawn out of blood.
At the other end of the Void Gate, he appeared in front of the boy, feeling the powerful suction power emanating from the Void Gate, the boy did not try to resist, just stood quietly in place, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Don't try, it's useless, even if Zur comes in person, he can't resist the will of the world. ”
The sound was not attenuated by the infinite distance, and went straight through the Void Gate, where it clearly fell into the ears of Angus and Prophet.
Xianjue was speechless at this time, and his soul felt a sharp pain under the pull of the two forces, as if it was about to be torn in two parts in his body.
Angus asked, "Who are you? Why are you doing this? Give me a face!
The boy sneered through the endless void: "Give you face? From now on, you will have no face." ”
"Are you ready to accept your fate?"
The boy's voice fell on the mind of the sian, and it felt extremely familiar to him.
Isn't that what he said five years ago? Isn't that ...... Does it belong to the voice of Shen Yuan's body?
Through this tone, the seer could imagine the boy's evil facial expression on the other side of the Void Gate.
This frightened him, what had happened? in the past five years...... Could it be that there are other souls who control the human body that belongs to him?
Just when Xianjue was stunned, his soul finally could no longer bear the tearing of such two forces, and broke into two, the main soul was swallowed into the void gate in front of him, and the remaining remnant souls lost the support of the main body's will, and dissipated between heaven and earth as spiritual power.
