Chapter 1156: The End of Middle Earth & The Cabin in the Woods
Middle-earth has completely collapsed. He Xie did not stay in this world, but chose to leave directly.
But the world origin he re-forged and the will of all beings were united, and the will of the old father Iluvita, who had been sealed, was fought against for tens of thousands of years.
The process was long and brutal, but fortunately, everything was going according to the script set by He Xie.
In the beginning, humanity could only fight against monsters, rotting corpses, evil spirits, or demons that roamed the wilderness and transformed into the lowest-level gods.
These monstrous beings cannot be completely killed or destroyed by normal means, and even if their corpses are crushed to pieces and burned to ashes, they will still be resurrected in incredible ways.
People paid a terrible price to deal with the strangeness of the transformation of these lowest-level gods, and even once the human race almost reached extinction because of the 100% sign of Iluvita's consciousness.
Eventually, the oracle of Ho Evil was unearthed by humans and spread.
Humanity settled in the sealed lands of the eight main gods, dividing the world into eight continents.
On each continent, eight huge altars were set up.
Then, it took them five hundred years, paying the lives of hundreds of millions of warriors, and sealing all the strange beings in the human world underground.
But this is only the beginning, not the end.
After that, each continent will carefully select five people with different personalities through the guidance of the oracle.
These people should have been the children of luck if there were no accidents, but in this world, they can only be reduced to sacrifices to the old gods.
The five sons of fortune must die in a specific way, in a specific order, and then sacrifice their blood and souls to the gods in the seal.
This is the cause and effect of all beings, and will be neutralized by the poison of time and space, resulting in the permanent replacement of Iluvita's power.
Eight altars, eight rituals, and every time a ritual is completed, a strange being of the lowest rank will completely disappear.
And every time people hold a sacrificial ceremony, the price they pay for it is at least five lives.
In this way, people continue to weaken Iluvita's power and wear down his consciousness. It's like terrazzo wearing.
Such rituals have been passed down for thousands of years, allowing human beings to multiply and develop in this strange world, and gradually enter the era of scientific and technological civilization.
In order not to cause panic among the public, and to prevent careerists or crazy guys with ulterior motives from using the old evil gods to destroy all mankind, the matter of sacrifice is listed as the top secret of the Human Alliance, and a secret force personally under the control of the Alliance Council is personally responsible.
Although the core of the sacrificial ritual has remained unchanged for thousands of years, it has been closely integrated with science and technology along with the development of human civilization.
The sacrificial ceremonies, which are held every year on the 15th day of the seventh month, have become traditions and customs on the eight continents and have been perpetuated.
And with the complete elimination of the strange existence transformed by the low-level gods, the next strange existences, as well as the evil gods, have become more and more difficult to deal with? The failure rate of rituals is also increasing.
But what makes people desperate? Thousands of years? Not even a third of Iluvita's strength was consumed.
On the other side, He Xie's doppelganger went to the apocalyptic world and the mermaid world of the wandering earth, completely solved the cause and effect of these two worlds, and once again retreated with the deity in the long river of dry time and space for thousands of years, stabilized the cause and effect, and then returned to this world.
When He Xie returned, he clearly felt that the former Middle-earth world had completely lost its original breath and appearance.
A chaotic consciousness, sleeping in the depths of the ocean? It was Iluvita, the god of creation who was sealed by him.
And the other staggered and mixed consciousness is according to his previous arrangement, eight altars, merging the will of all beings and the origin of the world into one? Against Illuvita's will.
"It's worthy of the poison of time and space...... "Sensing that thousands of years have passed in this world? But Iluvita's had only been wiped out with less than a third of her life, and He Xie couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"But this also has something to do with the problem with the formation inheritance." He Xie quickly frowned? discovered that in the process of the development of human civilization, he tampered with the "oracle" left by him. Illuvita hasn't completely died out for so long, and it has a lot to do with it.
According to the inheritance left by He Xie, it was originally a great array of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, using the five elements to promote cause and effect, and using cause and effect to fight against the old time and space.
The Five Elements must find five people with different Five Element Natal Qualities and let them sacrifice their lives and souls in the way of mutual reciprocity, so that the worm of cause and effect will descend in advance and wear out the power of the old evil gods.
Originally, everything was very good, but two thousand years ago, a natural disaster caused the civilization of this planet to shift from east to west, and the center of the world was dominated by the Western race.
Westerners don't understand the Five Elements Bagua left by He Xie at all, and they have compiled a set of inherent sacrificial processes according to their own understanding and summarizing the experience of successful sacrifices in the past.
They understand the Chosen Son of the Five Elements as the five unlucky ones born in a particular sign according to a complex algorithm.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing, which they understand as the different character traits of the five sacrificers.
The causal game with the evil gods of the old days is understood by them as an incomprehensible and strange hobby of the evil gods.
So, everything changed.
The success rate of the sacrifice was greatly reduced, and the success rate of the original eight altars was more than six every year.
But in the past 100 years, the annual success rate has been less than two altars.
It can be said that human beings have been hovering on the verge of extinction all these years, and it is already a miracle that they can still exist before He Xie arrives.
"Play the piano!" He Xie shook his head, very dissatisfied.
He reversed his palm and fast-forwarded directly into time and space, allowing the world to enter the fifteenth day of the seventh month in advance.
Then he took a stride and came to one of the altars.
The altar is disguised as a barren mountain, and the core area of the altar is a wooden house between the mountains and forests.
The altar is already in operation, and the five Chosen Ones have begun to choose their own destiny. According to He Xie's design, they will choose an item that is closely related to their fate according to the pull of cause and effect, and this item is the strange existence they are about to fight.
But the truth is that the altar is covered by satellite surveillance and a number of ubiquitous miniature cameras, and these Westerners pretend to be clever enough to think that the five unlucky ones are choosing their own way of dying. So the whole process is monitored, and they are deliberately guided to choose the corresponding items.
Once the items have been chosen, those strange beings who are pulled by cause and effect will appear in the altar, and then these Chosen Children will need to work together to fight them.
If you win, you will be rewarded with doubles, which means that you can wipe out one weird being, but if you win the confrontation, then you can wipe out two.
But the fact is that the ritual has been passed down to this day, and there is no such thing as confrontation at all.
The Westerners behind the scenes mistakenly understood that the evil god had to kill all five sacrifices in order for the world to run smoothly for a year.
So instead of fighting, they will use various means to assist the evil gods in killing the five sacrifices.
The original order of confrontation due to the mutual growth and restraint of the five elements is understood by Westerners as a fixed order of death with their own erroneous algorithms.
They divided the five sacrifices into five categories, namely, the Lady, the Fool, the Athlete, the Scholar, and the Pure, and told them to die in strict order of death, without any mistakes.
The order of death in this arrangement is a mistake and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, but the problem is that the evil gods will not listen to the arrangement of humans, and once they kill people in the wrong order, then the ritual will be declared a failure.
At this time, the five Chosen Ones are in a dark basement, they pick up a worn-out notebook, and read out the strange stories written in the notebook that make people's scalps tingle.
What they didn't know was that not far from their hut was a pile of weedy graves with no tombstones. And as they finish reading this eerie story, the protagonist of the story, five zombies corrupted and degenerated by former gods, staggers up from their graves and walks slowly towards them.
And in a huge underground base at the foot of the mountain, a large screen is playing every move of the five Chosen Ones in real time, and hundreds of staff members in white coats in front of the screen are betting on what the five unlucky people will choose.
When the five zombies staggered to their feet, most of the people present let out a sound of chagrin.
The annual sacrificial ritual has made them numb and mechanical, and they often rely on this seemingly cold-blooded way to make themselves have some fun.
The altar was already in full swing, and the five Chosen Ones had no idea what they were going through, continuing to joke and get ready to enjoy the night.
"Illuvita, you're about to wake up......" He Xie was hidden in the void, and couldn't help frowning and muttering to himself.
He had just pinched his fingers and realized that the fate of this world would end in just six hours.
The eight altars, the other seven altars soon failed one after another, and the seven evil gods ate all the sacrificers and regained a certain strength.
And the five chosen sons of this altar, three were also killed one after another, and in the end, only the fool and the pure were left, who stumbled into the unsuspecting underground base, and then opened the mechanism with their own hands, releasing all the evil gods sealed under this altar!
Eventually, Γ re, the king of artisans, awoke from the belly of the mountain, broke the seal, destroyed the continent, and freed Iluvita with his own hands.
Then, the human civilization created by He Xie was completely destroyed.
"Luckily, I came back in time."
He Xie was a little glad that he had strengthened the causal traction between him and this world before, which made him rush back before all the cause and effect were reversed.
"So, it's time to put things right and put an end to this!"
He Xie stomped his foot lightly, and suddenly, the altars of the eight continents all "rumbled" and shook.
Immediately afterward, his divine sense dispersed, and he instantly locked on seven hundred and sixty people with the potential of the Five Elements Destiny Grid, the Chosen One, and then instantly moved these people to the eight altars.
In this way, each altar has a hundred Chosen Ones.
When these Chosen Sons suddenly arrived at the altar, they were naturally very shocked and flustered.
And the base personnel who monitored the forum behind the scenes were even more shocked, they did not understand at all why such a thing happened.
Just like in the ace agent world before, He Xie quickly lowered his will projection and informed the base personnel and the eight hundred Chosen Ones of the new sacrifice rules.
In each altar, there will be ten strange beings with different forms, namely aliens, beasts, undead, zombies, ghosts, aliens, monsters, demons, fallen creatures, and ghosts.
The strength of these strange existences, ranked from low to high, appeared randomly in turn.
Eight hundred Chosen Ones need to kill all the weird beings in order to survive.
And whether they choose to cooperate or go it alone, there is no limit, or even cannibalism between them.
Every time you kill a strange being, you will get a certain number of points at random.
If it is a group collaboration kill, then each member of the group will also get corresponding points.
Points can be communicated to the Marketplace at any time through consciousness and exchanged for weapons and abilities with special effects.
When all the monsters are killed, the surviving Chosen One will continue to fight for a new round of killings after receiving rewards and re-repairing, and the number will be replenished to the outside world again, bringing up to a hundred again.
If the Chosen Sons of a certain altar are all destroyed, then He Xie will continue to choose a hundred Chosen Sons and continue to fight monsters.
The cycle repeats itself until all the Old Gods except for Illuvita are destroyed, and the game ends.
This is a game set up by He Xie in imitation of the so-called reincarnation space, although it is cruel, it can be used at the lowest cost and in the shortest time, and consumes the least energy to achieve the goal He Xie wants as soon as possible.
The brutal and bloody battle began, and the whole world was shaken.
Although the first batch of strange beings were all very low-level monsters, the Chosen ones still paid a very tragic price.
The Chosen Children of the Seven Altars are all destroyed!
Only He Xie is in this position, and the two of them defeated all their opponents with difficulty and survived to the end!
Of the 800 men, only two survived!
As for the old gods, out of eighty old gods, only seventeen died.
It sounds like there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, but in fact, if it is according to normal development, it will take seventeen years for the seventeen old evil gods to be wiped out.
And the cost of these seventeen years also requires the death of more than 600 Chosen Ones.
He Xie is just shortening the process and advancing it.
The two survivors were rewarded handsomely for repairing all of their injuries and picking good abilities and weapons.
Soon, the second round began.
