Some basic settings and information about the world of the undead
The following are some basic settings and information about the undead world, which can be skipped directly by friends who don't like it.
The undead creatures of the undead realm are made up of three basic elements: bones, souls, and gray mist.
There are still many questions about whether bones are one of the basic elements. Because the spirits, ghosts, lichs, and other soul creatures of the undead do not need bones to be formed. On the other hand, the process of spawning the ghost's or lich's body, leveling up, and releasing magic requires the participation and action of bones. So bones are also considered to be one of its basic elements.
So where do the bones of the undead world come from?
The gray mist energy in the undead realm has been constantly eroding the bones of the undead realm. The gray mist energy can not only delay the aging and pulverization of bones, but also slowly absorb a trace amount of gray mist energy after the bones are completely turned into bone meal. After absorbing sufficient gray mist energy, the bone meal particles will slowly recombine into new bones. This qiē is like a great cycle that will never be lost.
The soul is also one of the essential elements that make up undead creatures. Even the skeletons in the undead realm are also composed of souls. Skeletons don't just have bones, they must also have souls.
And the creation of souls in the world of the dead has always been the most mysterious thing. As long as you look closely, you can find that there will be souls born anywhere, at any time, and in any corner of the undead world. And often out of thin air, suddenly somewhere, a corner, or some mid-air, a small, gray mist energy convergence vortex appeared. The time for the vortex to appear and disappear is very short. Almost instantly, the whirlpool will disappear, and then where the whirlpool disappears, a new soul will appear. The process is so mysterious and full of unknowns!
Gray mist, this is some kind of energy substance that is ubiquitous in the undead world. This should be made up of the basic energies of the undead realm. Whether it's ghosts, skeletons, lichs, or higher-level undead creatures, they need to absorb more gray mist energy to grow and grow.
In fact, in the undead world, except for some creatures that were very powerful in their lifetime who were able to directly transform into high-level undead creatures through the means of transformation, most of the undead creatures were slowly born and grew up in the undead world.
The birth and growth of undead creatures begins with the appearance of a soul.
At this time, all newborn souls are faced with two choices: to become skeletons or soul bodies. But whether it becomes a skeleton or a soul body, it is essentially a means of protecting the body that the newborn soul finds according to its instincts.
These two different ways of protecting the ontology have an important impact on the subsequent growth and development of the newborn soul.
If the newborn soul chooses the skeleton method, then after the soul is integrated into the skull, it will basically absorb the gray mist energy to enhance the soul and grow. The skeleton's daily activities or battles can be seen as the soul in the skeleton controlling and using its own soul energy.
If the newborn soul chooses the soul body way, then it must guò swallow other firstborn souls or soul bodies to strengthen itself.
Of course, the soul body will also absorb a small amount of gray mist energy, but since the soul body is not an entity being, it will be quite difficult and slow to absorb the gray mist energy. And unlike skeletons, which can use gray mist energy to strengthen bones or store it in the skeleton itself, the soul body itself can not store much soul energy. Therefore, the most important means of soul body growth must still be completed by devouring other soul bodies.
Therefore, the most active thing in the undead world is not skeletons, but soul bodies. And if the skeletons are not controlled by the more advanced undead creatures, they are generally not likely to take the initiative to start a fight themselves. The skeletons rely more on the long time to absorb the energy of the gray mist to strengthen their skeleton and soul.
How big is the realm of the undead? No one knows about this question. I'm afraid that even the overlords of the undead realm, the undead kings, can't answer this question! Because in the past 10 million years, there have been countless undead kings among countless undead creatures. But no single Undead King can rule over the entire Undead Realm, no matter how powerful it may be!
This is because, on the edge of your domination, there will always be bigger ones! No matter how many tens of thousands of years you spend and how many territories you have conquered, there is still endless territory at the edge of your territory! And there is still no end to the world of the undead!
In the realm of the undead, most places are quiet, deserted and lonely most of the time. However, there are also many places that have been bustling for a long time. Especially when there is a war between the undead kings!
In the undead realm, only friction between undead kings can be called war! And the power dispute between the high-level undead can only be called a fight or a group fight! Although a fight between the so-called high-level undead forces often involves a group fight between dozens or even millions of skeleton racks! But it's still just a fight!
In the world of the undead, there is usually no specific concept of time. Because time doesn't mean much to undead creatures that are barely dead!
Wars between undead kings are often fought for thousands of years. And during this war, you can often see the spectacular collision of the Sea of Skull! What a great thing it is to have a war between tens of billions of skeletons! It's a scale you can't imagine!
Whether it's the hedging and collision between thousands of powerful Black Knights or Death Knights; Or undead dragons or skeleton dragons hundreds of meters in length, thousands of fighting and killing each other; Or the brilliant spell confrontation between countless lichs of all colors...... Unthinkable, indescribable! It can only be said that the war that the undead kings started when they were extremely bored was a terrible thing!
Let's briefly talk about the level of some undead creatures in the undead realm:
Skeleton - Skeleton Warrior - Skeleton Leader - Skeleton Lord - Skeletron - Undead King
Skeleton Warrior - Black Knight - Death Knight - Skeletron - Undead King
Soul Body - Ghost - Ghost - Lich - Undead Lich - Lich King - Undead King
Skeleton Boss - Skeleton Mage - Death Skeleton - Undead King
Note: Each undead creature is further divided into high, medium, and low levels at each stage of evolution. For example, low-level skeletons, intermediate-level skeletons, high-level skeletons. Or a low-level lich, an intermediate lich, a high-level lich.
These are just some of the highlights. The introduction to the world of the undead will be a large and systematic project. It will be presented to you step by step in the following story.
