Chapter 119: The Last Courage Down
Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of people on the continent has exceeded one billion!
However, the oldest of the first settlers are still dead, and both empires are overcrowded – and while there are endless unexplored territories in the distance, who wants to leave the beautiful imperial capital and go to the "wild lands" beyond their borders?
PS: Especially since there are no airplanes, no cars, only the offspring of the horses that were brought in the first place.
By this time, the oldest generations had gone into seclusion, and the empire had fallen into the hands of the "younger" ones—the generation at its peak.
At this moment, new concerns are also beginning to emerge, such as the problem of racial degradation. Among newborns, not only is the proportion of monsters born increasing, but the quality of newborns is far less powerful than that of the peak generation. The two empires have come to the conclusion that there are too many people, and the pressure of the limit is that the "nutrients" in the soil and water are almost depleted!
This conclusion was like a bolt from the blue, falling on the heads of the two empires. The distant land turned into a sweet spot in an instant, and the two empires once again fought for the "savage land" that was a little closer.
But at this time, the hidden dangers inside also began to erupt.
With the "deterioration" of water quality and soil, the first generations of immigrants suddenly experienced a large-scale demonization! It's just that all kinds of limbs, skin and flesh suddenly proliferate, and the living skyrockets into a monster!
Although the empire immediately declared that it was because the first generations were not "pure" enough. But those who have a little insight know that the demonic disease is spreading from the first generation down the time! Moreover, there are more and more people wearing thick clothes on the streets...... The reason is very simple, in the past, no one would care about a mole on the skin, but what about the eyes? It's okay to have freckles on your face, but what if it's all small tentacles?
More and more people are flocking to distant lands in search of true and pure land; There are also people digging deep into the earth - since the surface of the soil is already insufficient for nutrients, then the bottom must be fine.
But when you dig deeper, you see rotting flesh and blood! There's a lot of bugs in there! They penetrate upwards into the soil and are then absorbed by plants and crops...... Could it be that this is what we used to eat?!
The whole empire is crazy!
Demonic mutations are increasing, and irrational monsters are devouring the inhabitants of the empire, destroying everything......
It didn't take even two hundred years for the vast empire built over thousands of years to go from its end to its complete extinction - until finally, there was not a single human left in the land, only an endless number of monsters torn apart and reassembled......

"Volume Seventy-Nine, The End of the Empire, May 16, 4018 in the Summer Valley Calendar of the Empire, the Imperial Capital Has Fallen!
I have engraved here the last words that belong to the Empire, and I hope that those who come after me will learn from our history!
Turn around and leave, that's what I suggest to you.
—Clerk Samuel. ”
"Woo~Woo~~~" After reading this paragraph, Thomas hid behind the golden book and trembled with fear, tears flowed from his eyes.
"What are you crying about, your father is dead! Empire is gone," Atwood yelled angrily. "Hell, you're even less courageous than the most timid coward I've ever met! If there is anything else, go find out! I don't believe it's been thousands of years, so don't those people have left any way to deal with this monster? Absolutely! ”
At this moment, the door of the entire scroll hall had been torn apart, and two huge monsters were crowded there, crawling forward with all their might, attacking the old holy warrior with all hands and feet. Thanks to the two of them holding each other back, Atwood still has plenty of power.
But the entire building shook under the brute force of the monsters, and it was likely that in the next moment, it would be toppled by two monsters of infinite strength. It is precisely because of this that Atwood fought back with all his strength - if Shen Yan still can't drag, then the hope for the two of them to survive is in those books!
With a vast empire that has been inherited for thousands of years, it is impossible not to have a way to destroy such a monster at all. Since even gods can die, how can this kind of monster be an exception......
"No, no, I know how to kill this monster...... Let's get out of here first. Thomas stood up and staggered towards the back of the house, looking more lost than the monsters outside.
Atwood hesitated, and instead of persecuting Thomas, he smashed the monster squeezing the doorway with a hammer and flew it away!
"Let's go!"
As soon as he escaped from the scroll courtyard by Thomas's arm, there was a loud "boom" behind him, and the entire hall collapsed forward!
The huge boulder hit the ground and flew high. In the rain of falling rocks, Atwood rushed out of the distance with Thomas in his arms. It's a pity that in this completely dead world, the light of life on him and Thomas is even more eye-catching than the morning star! A large number of monsters did not need to be searched for, and they rushed towards them by instinct alone, and along the way, the houses collapsed, and the ruins were swept sideways in a straight line!
"Say it! What the hell is this place? As he ran, Atwood asked.
"Divine corpse...... There is nothing continental. The ruins of the Empire, us, and this city, all stand on the corpse of a god! Thomas yelled hysterically.
Atwood froze.
*****
In mythology, there is never a shortage of mythical monsters that are huge in size and evil in the world.
For example, the huge Yaki snake, the huge mountain tiger, the huge crocodile bird, and so on...... Of course, there must be various variations in the body, like growing nine heads or something. For such a big monster, whales can stuff their teeth, and elephants are like small ants, opening their mouths to cover the sky...... This is definitely not an exaggeration!
These monsters usually grow into demigod monsters because they occasionally acquire divinity at some stage of their growth—and there are not many things that are born naturally.
Normally, this kind of demigod monster is not difficult to kill. Godhead 0, Divine Power 1, even if you are a legendary warrior at this level, you have the ability to go heads-up. But often when this kind of monster starts to wreak havoc, it is not yet huge, and it does not attract the attention of the legendary power. Instead, those who have been ravaged by demigod monsters turn to worship monsters after they can't resist. So the monster gained faith and began to accumulate divine power.
Their intelligence is lower than that of the gods of nature, and they are not enough to comprehend the laws, let alone elevate their godheads to become true gods. The maximum amount of divine power will be filled up soon. But the means of storing divine power can be done not only by the godhead, but also by the body. So in order to store their divine power, the demigod monsters swelled like balloons, and by the time they attracted the attention of the gods, they had become as tall as mountains and as thick as rivers!
With such a powerful demigod monster, the godhead is still zero! In other words, killing is not much good except for cramping and peeling the skin, and killing the demigods cannot preach; But there are still dozens of units of divine power in the body, and before these divine powers are exhausted, the monster's combat power is a bargain!
In addition, the size is huge and the combat power is strong, even if the gods send a clone, they may not be able to do it......
It's hard to kill, and it's not a big benefit-except for Shen Yan, I haven't heard of anyone who has the ability to extract divine power and purify this function for the time being-it's worse than chicken ribs.
It's thankless, unless the church needs to stand up for it, and most of the gods pretend to be invisible to such monsters. The righteous camp is a little better, and will let their priests encourage some "heroes" to go on an "epic adventure"!
Don't talk about the success, the failure can also temporarily feed the monster, so don't mess around......
Gods are born of the law, and everything is bound to the law.
A mature deity, everything about him is difficult to snatch, whether it is divine power, priesthood, laws, or divinity, body, and artifact, because these are actually one with himself! At most, the gods can make an artifact for others to use, and they can't separate anything else from each other. If it could really be recycled, then there wouldn't be so many corpses floating in the astral plane.
Don't take Shen Yan as an example, everything in Ms. Huancheng belongs to the rules.
The only exception to this is the Godhead and the priesthood, the Godhead has a way of plundering, and the priesthood is like a position - you can do everything yourself, or you can have something to do with the secretary, and it's fine...... Just let the secretary rest.
Rory said a lot to show that if God's understanding of the law has stagnated, but the divine power is still absorbing and transforming, then the essence of the god may become very, very, very, very large!
How big is it? It's as big as a continent that doesn't end there......
This land is not so much a "God-given land" as a "land of God's death."
The Imperials devoured the corpses of the gods and eventually became monsters that could not be killed, because each one had a little divinity hidden in it. As long as the corpses of the gods are not consumed, the monsters that breed will continue to resurrect...... It's so ugly that no one cares if it's the original one.
Finally the god of courage said, "Do you know why I am the way I am today? I once fought the fallen god of the hill for a month to stop his plan to exterminate the world; I fought against the gods who came from before me, and the severed arm turned into the mountains of Gongga; I once went to the abyss alone to find out the demons' military intelligence......
As the god of courage, although I am not the most courageous in the world, I always believe that I am the one who works hardest! Until......
During a trip to the stars, I saw the corpse of a god...... With a blade in his chest, he floated silently in the astral plane. His body was covered with dust, like a huge stone.
The Kisyankee warships used him as a dock, and the astral whales thought he was in the way and crashed into the way...... In their eyes, it was a rock, and no one knew that it had been a mighty god! The power has been countless times greater than mine! There are so many people who adore him!
Now, he is a forgotten corpse.
Sadly, however, how much time has passed, but his consciousness has not completely dissipated. I could even hear maggots wailing as they burrowed in and out of his corpse...... From that moment on, I started to become afraid, and I didn't want to be like him in the future...... I hope that if I die, please let me die directly! Don't let me wander in the astral plane, and don't let people build an empire on my corpse!
That's so sad......"
The god of courage raised his hand and pressed it to Atwood's chest, "All for you, everything about courage...... Against these monsters, pure power is meaningless, only law can destroy them. ”
After thinking about it, Thomas smiled with satisfaction and said, "I always hear you mention your disciple, although it sounds like I don't like it, I am actually very proud of him." When the constellation that lifts the sky changes, he will surely see your name in the swan world and open the portal between the two worlds...... So please take it, it's my last courage. ”
