Dark red earth, dark red demons.

Everything is dark red, including the city, but the people in the city are not dark red, but have all kinds of bright colors.

Underneath this dark red tone, the colors are particularly dazzling.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were also attracted by the huge colorful city.

However, the dark red hue makes the whole painting style full of a very depressing feeling, even Jiang Yuan's state of mind, he also feels the atmosphere of sadness and despair that the author of this painting wants to express.

"Black, what does this picture mean, why do I feel so sad when I look at it? ”

Lao Hei was silent for a long time when he saw this painting, and only then did he sigh slowly until the end.

"Hey, I didn't expect to say this unintentionally, this painting wants to express not only a certain event, but also a certain period. ”

"This period is called the Scarlet Age. ”

"Because in the ancient Chinese era, people, gods, ghosts, demons, and demons existed side by side, and at that time, in addition to the gods and ghosts in the human world that belonged to their own heaven and the underworld, the rest of the people, demons, and demons lived together in the human world, although the demons also occupied the vast mountains and plains, but in terms of soil fertility and the Central Plains occupied by humans had a great difference, plus the demons did not have the production capacity. ”

"It can only rely on the laws of natural growth, so it is very limited in terms of objective conditions, so it stimulates the idea of demons wanting to invade the territory occupied by humans. ”

Tens of thousands of years ago, the demon race and the demon race each appeared a world-famous powerhouse, the leader of the demon race and the leader of the demon race, in a vain attempt to invade Middle-earth, occupy the rich and fertile land occupied by humans. ”

"The demon clan is for the land and materials, and the demon clan is for the enslavement of human beings, so that human beings become the slaves of their demon clan, so the two sides hit it off, and attacked the human city together, many remote small cities are not the opponent of the demon alliance at all, many cities were slaughtered by the demon alliance, leaving an empty city, corpses are everywhere, many demon clans feed on humans, and countless massacres have occurred, and the land is all over the field, blood is flowing like a river, and there are countless souls. ”

"Countless unjust souls were reincarnated in the past life, and the pressure on the underworld increased sharply, and all the ghosts in the underworld at that time were engaged in the ranks of capturing unjust souls, including the soul gatherer. However, even if all the soul gatherers are invested in it, there are too many unjust souls who have died sideways, which has had a huge impact on the balance of the two worlds of yin and yang, even if there are a large number of soul gatherers to help, they still can't achieve a balance, which is enough to prove how cruel and vicious the demon alliance is. ”

"If you encounter a city, you will slaughter it, and if you slaughter it, it will be empty. ”

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but gasp, this was really terrifying.

"What about the city in the middle?" Jiang Yuan pointed to the largest city in the center of the map.

"This city is Zhongzhou, the most densely populated city of human beings at that time, with Zhongzhou as the center, and the next two states, Lianzhou, Wuzhou, Shengzhou and more than a dozen large cities are surrounded by a vast number of demon alliances, at that time the number of demons was the largest, and many low-level demons were used as cannon fodder. ”

"At that time, the ability to fight back was only the most famous Taoist sect in the human race and all kinds of complicated sects, and at that time, most of the soul gatherers were busy collecting the souls and did not participate in the war, and in a strict sense, the soul gatherers did not have the obligation to protect the peace of the world, only the obligation to maintain the balance between the yin and yang worlds. ”

"But some of the soul gatherers think that the practice of the demon alliance is essentially interfering with the balance of the yin and yang worlds, so although the underworld did not participate in the war, but let these soul gatherers participate in the war, one of the representatives is Wuxin, Wuxin has always been on the side of the human race, the top ten super soul gatherers at that time went to seven to help humans participate in the war, and after that war, three died, and Wuxin was also active for a period of time after that war, and then there was no news. ”

"Although the identity of the soul gatherer is more complicated, there is both the identity of the underworld and the identity of the human being, the demon alliance is afraid of the underworld, the strength of the underworld and the heavenly court is the strongest among the five clans, if the underworld makes a move, although it can repel the demon alliance, it will inevitably attract the attention of the heavenly court, and maybe the heavenly court will fight at that time. However, later, Heavenly Court also symbolically sent down the immortals to help participate in the battle, but the contribution was not very much, mainly relying on the strength of the human race itself and the soul gatherers. ”

"This bloody era lasted two years from the beginning to the end, although it was not long, but it had epoch-making significance, although in the end the human race won, but it paid a terrible price, the population of the entire Central Plains region plummeted by less than one percent, and the demon and demon races were beaten to almost extermination, the strong of them were completely damaged, and chose to retreat into the mountains, and did not show up for many years. ”

Jiang Yuan pointed to a little man in blue clothes on the Zhongzhou city wall, holding a stick, he was unintentional, and he had no intention of choosing to stand on the head of the city and resist the enemy with humans.

But behind Wuxin, among a large group of dense villains, there was a villain in white and a villain in black, and the villain in black held a strange-shaped stick in his hand, which was similar to Lao Hei's mourning stick in terms of breath.

"This is you and Lord Bai Impermanence. ”

Who knew that the old black face was red, "Hehe, your kid's eyes are really sharp." You can see this, in fact, I am also bored in the underworld, the human world is so lively, I will also come to participate in the excitement, not to say that the demon alliance affects the balance of yin and yang, I will also maintain it. ”

Jiang Yuan looked at Lao Hei with disdain, saying that it was nonsense to maintain the balance of yin and yang, Hei Wuchang was a war maniac, who didn't know who didn't know, Lao Hei was itchy to tell the truth, but fortunately, with the help of many hidden powers, human beings could stand firm on their last footing.

Win the war of the century.

In the face of this war, Lao Hei did not tell in great detail, but judging from the atmosphere shown by the whole mural, all human beings at that time must have lived under intense terror and despair, otherwise they would not have used the Scarlet Era to describe that era, that era of only corpses, unjust souls, blood and despair.

However, since it was all what happened many years ago, there was no need for Jiang Yuan to delve into it, because the people who could still remember what happened tens of thousands of years ago were only known to the immortals of the Heavenly Court except for the old fritters of the underworld like Lao Hei.
