Chapter 13: The Enemy

"Old man, what is the secret of this world?" Seeing that the old man hesitated, Chen Musu knew that the secret of this world was probably the key to his coming here.

According to the old man, this secret is only known to him, and if Chen Musu wants to know, he can only know it from the old man's mouth, which may be the reason why he came to the Soul Clan.

"This is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, and according to the old rules, these things can only be told to the next prophet, but I have not much time left, and I have a gut feeling that I must tell you these things. ”

After struggling for a long time, the old man seemed to have made up his mind, and he had a strong feeling in his heart that he had to let Chen Musu know all this.

"Old man, don't hide it, what you said may have something to do with me coming here, I hope you can tell the truth!"

Chen Musu nodded, he was eager to know the reason why he came to this world, Tongtian Shu said that there was a reason why he went everywhere, as for what he needed to do, he was completely confused now, maybe after the old man finished speaking, he could find some clues.

"This is going to start with why the eight major tribes want to force the palace!" the old man spoke slowly, and the next thing he was going to tell was a very long story, so he called Chen Musu today, he was ready, and after sorting out his thoughts, the story was about to begin.

"The reason why the eight major tribes want to force the palace is nothing more than to get a place to thrive within the protection of the Tower of Babel, but they don't understand that if everyone hides under the Tower of Babel, the enemies we face will only become more and more difficult to deal with. ”

"In order to defend our homeland, a group of hot-blooded warriors in the Soul Clan volunteered to organize eight powerful troops to guard the eight directions into the Soul Land, and their descendants gradually evolved into the current Eight Tribes, and the rest of the Soul Clan built the Tower of Babel under the guidance of that person, and the people in the Soul Clan relied on the Tower of Babel to obtain soul power. ”

"At the same time, it also gained a way to fight the enemy. ”

The old man paused and began to think about it, and the next words were very important, he was thinking about how to say it to Chen Musu.

"Actually, our real enemies are not here, those who want to destroy the soul land are just a microcosm of the Tower of Babel, and the man told us that where the Tower of Babel leads, there is the real battlefield. ”

"If we want to have a chance to survive, we can only send the true courage of our clan to go, and in exchange, the Tower of Babel will protect us for generations, so we have launched a ritual to worship the heavens, obey the call of the heavens, and go to the back of the tower to fight against the powerful enemy. ”

"For us at that time, it was an indescribable honor to be able to go to the back of the tower, but everyone knew that this road to heaven was actually a road of no return, and at that time, all the people who were selected were within the soul clan, and they were real warriors. ”

"With the continuous migration of time, for a long time, there are few enemies left of us, I think it should be the result of the bloody battles of those ancestors, and over time, the ancestors of the soul clan are puzzled. ”

"They wondered whether to continue to send people to the war, after all, none of those people came back alive, and after the constant retreat, no one was willing to choose to continue going, which led to a disaster that happened later, it was a disaster that involved the entire soul land, but fortunately, at the last moment, the Tower of Babel showed its power, and we were able to continue to survive. ”

"From that day on, the leaders of the Soul Clan began to conceal the facts, sealed these secrets, and told the idea that going to the Tower of Babel can become the master to protect the soul land, from generation to generation, until there were few people left who knew the true meaning of the Tower of Babel, and the people of later generations thought that it was a great honor to be chosen, and there was a beautiful world in front of them, and they rushed to go. ”

The old man said a lot in one breath, but his words obviously hadn't gotten to the point, and Chen Musu didn't seem to understand.

"I think I almost get it, it seems that the world behind the tower is the key for you to fight these enemies outside the soul land, and if no one continues to go there, no one in the soul land will be able to fight these enemies. ”

"That's right, after so many years of exploration, we found that the chosen people do not necessarily have to enter the battlefield, when the Tower of Babel is opened, there will be a trace of intersection between that world and this world, and a large amount of soul power will be transmitted from that world to this world. ”

"The person who has the token can absorb a lot of soul power, and we can use it to fight the enemy in front of us, and then we only let the strongest person go at a time, and the others stay with the token. ”

"We thought it was the best choice, after all, the world behind the tower we couldn't touch, and the powerful power in front of us was within reach, but as time went by, we finally tasted the bitter fruit. The old man sighed slightly.

"What's going on?" Chen Musu hurriedly asked.

"The place that leads to the Tower of Babel is called the Demon Battlefield, as the name suggests, that place is a battlefield, and the enemy we need to face is best described as the devil, that place gathers all the evil of thousands of worlds, and as there are more and more evils, thousands of worlds finally lose their balance, causing these evils to manifest. ”

"The enemies we are facing now are transformed from these evil thoughts, and the purpose of choosing the warriors is to destroy these evils at the source, and when the time comes, the enemies projected in front of us will become vulnerable, and we can easily destroy them. ”

"But as we sent fewer and fewer warriors, we were surprised to find that the enemies that had been vulnerable in the past were getting stronger and more numerous, and today we were no longer able to deal with them, and I knew it was time to make a choice. ”

"This time, I plan to send all these selected people to the Demon Punishment Battlefield, I know that the patriarchs of the eight major tribes will not agree, so I will hide from them and completely open the Tower of Babel, who knows that at this juncture they chose to force the palace, fortunately with you, otherwise the entire soul land will suffer a catastrophe. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he sighed again, his choice was undoubtedly a risk, once the enemy's situation was not well improved, and if these young people with soul power were lost, they would be even more unable to stop the further erosion of the enemy, and they would also face a huge disaster at that time.

"Old man, how do you know that this is because of the small number of people you sent?" Combined with the story he heard, Chen Musu carefully thought about the key points, according to the old man's statement, when they built the Tower of Babel, they established a relationship with the underworld.

The relationship between the two sides should be both prosperous and lossy, but because of the selfishness of the soul clan, they have entered a dangerous predicament, and in such a situation, the old man's risk-taking approach may have reached the point of desperation.

"Although this is my conjecture, the soul power contained in the Tower of Babel is getting thinner and thinner, which means that the power to protect us is weakening, once the eight major tribes are unable to resist those enemies, the soul land is about to fall, and the remaining soul power of the Tower of Babel may not be able to continue to protect us. ”

"This time I have to fight, every time I open the Tower of Babel, there will be a stream of soul power feedback, in the record, the more people send it in, the more soul power feedback will be received, so I will have such an idea. ”

"I see!" Hearing this, Chen Musu understood and had a general understanding of the world, except for what the enemies that needed to be faced.

"This is also why after yesterday's incident, I still chose to let go of those patriarchs, I really have no choice, punishing them is undoubtedly weakening our strength, I can feel that the power of those enemies outside the soul land is getting stronger and stronger, and now the Tower of Babel is about to open, and at this juncture, we need to rely on them to guard the soul land. ”

As the rocking chair kept shaking, the old man slowly closed his eyes, and after saying so much in one breath, he was also a little tired.

"Old man, what is the Demon Killing Battlefield like, can you tell me more about it. Chen Musu was still a little puzzled.

"I'm right, you didn't come here from the Demon Killing Battlefield, I'm curious, where are you from, and why do you have so much soul power. The old man didn't answer the question, and now he still can't understand Chen Musu.

"Well, I don't know how to explain this to you, but I should be on your side. Chen Musu had a headache, he didn't want to deceive the old man, he was indeed not a messenger, and even he himself didn't know why he appeared in this world.

"I understand, maybe you came at the right time, it takes a lot of soul power to open the Tower of Babel, and now there is not much soul power left in the tower itself, it can only be reluctantly opened, and there is not much soul power left in my body, in case of any emergency, the Tower of Babel cannot be opened, we are afraid that we are really going to be destroyed!"

The old man's tone was a little trembling, if the eight tribes were really allowed to succeed, God knows what they would do, and if any unforeseen consequences were caused, the entire soul land would fall into a place of no return.

"Eh!" the old man's words made Chen Musu smile awkwardly.

According to his memory, the Soul Clan was finally destroyed, and their enemies disappeared into the long river of history, until the human race flourished and did not encounter any terrible enemies.

There must have been some huge changes in this, Chen Musu couldn't tell the old man, after all, he was a person in the future, if he did something out of the ordinary, it might lead to changes in the entire time and space, and he couldn't bear such a responsibility.

"Old man, I have another question, what are those enemies that the Soul Clan is facing?" This question Chen Musu always wanted to ask, he was very curious about what kind of enemy could be called evil.

"It's a bunch of dead creatures who have no sense, nothing but killing, they come from the abyss of hell, they are so full of bones that even our strongest warriors can't compete with them, only soul power can suppress them. ”

The old man's voice trembled when he spoke, and he trembled when he spoke of the enemy, and unless he saw it with his own eyes, it was difficult for ordinary people to imagine the shock brought by the enemy.

"Skeleton soldiers?" Combined with what the old man said, Chen Musu suddenly thought of a creature, which made him feel a storm in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
