Thinking of the terrible red-haired Vivien he had met before, Hao Ren realized that the information brought by Hethanna was very important, and he gathered everyone in the family, including Yitzax, who had just returned from outside, and he also dragged him into the discussion. Because the coffee table in the living room was broken by Lily's paw, Hao Ren dragged the dining table to the center of the room, and Hethanna placed the dried corpse of the "Purgatory Ripper" on the table, explaining what purgatory was.

"It was the Age of Mythology," Hethanna sat solemnly across from Hao Ren, with a serious expression on her face that was similar to that of Vivien's usual "lectures" to people, "You should know that the earth was very different from now - magic was widespread in this world, supernatural forces were the norm in the world, and humans without much magical talent and the weak city-states they established were scarce and needed to be protected. Not only did the aliens build many superstructures that are unimaginable to humans today, but the magical environment of the world made the planet very different from what it is today, with a large number of alien spaces connected to Earth - some of them man-made, others of which existed since the beginning. ”

Hao Ren nodded slightly, he had heard Vivien mention these things before, and now he should review them again.

"At that time, the aliens built a lot of things, and many self-proclaimed god families even built huge 'kingdoms of God', such as Mount Olympus and the Aesir Domain, but now there are no such magnificent ruins on the earth, just because these 'kingdoms of God' are built in other dimensions," Vivian took over from Hethanna's words, "These kingdoms of God are man-made alien spaces. And there's some natural space for that. They have been linked to Earth for as long as I can remember, and they include Purgatory and some demonic planes. Even some of the aliens originally lived in this kind of space, such as Shadow Fiend. They're from this kind of space, and those guys' hometown is called 'Shadow World', which is a cold place with no stars, and I've been there once, and I'm impressed. ”

This part of the stuff was the first time Hao Ren had heard of it, and what he immediately thought of was nothing else, but the truth about the alien coming to the earth:

They were originally inhabitants of the dream plane, but the rupture of the wall of reality revealed to this universe.

Could it be that those primordial alien spaces that once existed in ancient times also leaked from the dream plane? Or rather, the rupture of the wall of reality at the time not only threw a large number of races to this place. And threw some of the space debris of the dream plane in?

Hao Ren exchanged glances with the others, and everyone basically thought of the same thing. However, they didn't dwell on it: considering the situation of the Wall of Reality and the theoretical model of "information unification", it is normal for the Wall of Reality to leak some space debris into this universe after it is broken, but it is only on a large scale, and now it seems that the leakage back then may be more serious than imagined.

"After the collapse of the Age of Mythology, these alien dimensions are basically gone," Heatherenne continued, "and the man-made kingdom of God has lost its support because of the destruction of its master. Most of them collapsed, and the rest fell into closure, and the Olympus Temple space we found earlier was a closed alternate space; And those that exist naturally are banished: the witchers are not capable of destroying the fabric of space, so in order to cut off the roots of some alien races. They sealed the aliens in another dimension and broke the link between them and the main plane. ”

"Now those different spaces should still be floating in the cracks of time and space, and there is no channel to rebuild links from within the space, so they will wander forever in endless time and space. Until the day the universe ends," Vivien said suddenly, a little scared. "Fortunately, I didn't think about going to a different space to hide in Qingjing, once I fell asleep in it, I'm afraid I'm still floating in the universe I don't know where it is."

Hao Ren looked at the dried corpse of the "Purgatory Ripper" on the table. It's curious what kind of environment can give birth to such strange and monstrous creatures: "What kind of place is Purgatory?" ”

"The craziest of all the alien spaces, there are no sane creatures in it, only wild beasts," Hethanna pouted and looked up at Vivien, "You can ask Lord Vivien, I have heard everything about the ancient times, and Lord Vivien has really experienced it." ”

Vivien snorted, reminiscing about the events of the past: "I have never been to Purgatory, not even in the age of mythology. The link between Purgatory and the Main Plane is very unstable, and it does not have a fixed spatial passage or entry and exit method like the other other dimensions of the past, but opens its doors on Earth almost randomly. In the first layer of purgatory, it is somewhat plausible, some daring wizards will explore that place, where there is highly toxic air and hot springs, the whole world is boiling as if it is boiling, the Purgatory Ripper lives on the first level, and the second layer of Purgatory begins to be a place where completely unreasonable monsters live, it is all flesh and blood beasts without sanity, devouring each other, fighting each other, relying on complete killing instincts to act, they will almost tear apart all the flesh and blood that trespass. Hades once tried to form an army of the undead to find out what was at the bottom of Purgatory, but the skeletons and zombies were torn apart by the twisted monsters of Purgatory. In short, Purgatory is such a crazy place. ”

"A harsh space full of primordial beasts," Hao Ren touched his chin, "What are wizards doing studying this place?" ”

"The creatures of Purgatory are born with great strength, and their flesh and blood contain special primordial energy," Vivien said, "While those bloodthirsty monsters are dangerous, wizards regard them as supreme treasures, and some of the infernal creatures can even be used to cast forbidden spells, such as elevating humans to immortal spirits, or opening portals to deeper, distorted spaces." During the Age of Mythology, wizards were the minions of alien captivity, and at that time they were still forced by their masters to explore purgatory, but after the end of the Age of Mythology, some wizards began to explore the place on their own initiative. ”

Lily immediately shouted, "Wait, wasn't Purgatory banished by the witchers like the rest of the Age of Mythology after the collapse of the Age of Mythology?" ”

"All other natural spaces have been banished by the witchers, except Purgatory," Vivien shook her head, "As I said before, Purgatory is a very unstable place, and its connection to the main plane is completely random, and there is no native intelligent race in Purgatory, and no one can control its connection rules - witchers can't grasp that space at all. Therefore, after the end of the mythological era, Purgatory will still be linked to the earth from time to time, and there are often surviving aliens or wizards entering it. However, since then, the witchers have been constantly interfering with the gates of Purgatory, and they seem to have used a constant spatial disturbance force to 'push' Purgatory away from this world, although it has not completely destroyed its connection with this world, but it has greatly reduced the frequency of opening the gates of Purgatory, and Purgatory has not appeared at all in the last one or two thousand years. I remember the last time it appeared seemed to be during the Augustan period, when a gate was opened in the north of Rome and several villages were swallowed up by monsters, but after that there was no news of the opening at all. And the scale of that opening incident is not large, and there are no clues in history. ”

Hao Ren listened to these magical stories with his eyes wide, he didn't expect that such a thing would happen after the end of the Age of Mythology. Then his gaze rested on the dried corpse specimen of the Purgatory Ripper: "So this thing ......"

"This was made into a specimen hundreds of years ago," Heatherenne nodded, "which means that a wizard opened the gates of Purgatory hundreds of years ago and brought things out of it alive. ”

"Hundreds of years ago? It was already the time when humans and witchers ruled the earth," Hao Ren felt incredulous, "Didn't the witchers find out?" ”

"I don't know if anyone was spotted when it first opened, but the wizard apparently escaped the witcher, and we found some clues about him that the wizard was still active around Europe around the time of the American Revolution."

"So the information we have now is: there is a wizard who opened the gates of purgatory hundreds of years ago and brought something out of it, and at the same time this wizard also left a magic book that can summon the evil spirit Vivien......" Hao Ren tapped the table with his knuckles, "What is the connection between the two things?" ”

"There is evidence that the summoning ritual recorded in that book is only one of the many forbidden spells of that wizard, and we have found some scattered manuscripts left by that wizard," Hethanna glanced at Vivienne, "His summoning of the 'Blood King' was not his ultimate goal, but only his desire to use the Blood King's power to enter the depths of purgatory." He must have many other manuscripts left, and there may be more than one forbidden technique related to Lord Vivien, and these secrets should be hidden in the place where he opened the gates of purgatory. ”

"Where?"

"Nordic." (To be continued......)
