Shen Mu had a long, long dream in a daze: he felt like he had become another person, a person who had studied soul spells for a long, long time, and he was born in a winter city called the northern part of the Ice and Fire Continent

The continent is full of wars, the common people live in difficulty, the nobility sings every night, there are large unknown ice fields in the north of the north, and there are rich kingdoms in the rich lands of the south

There are also all kinds of terrifying monsters, like the blue-skinned monsters he encountered before, the antlered monsters, bird-like people, etc., all of which are from the south, and many monsters are products of the war

Or from the hands of various evil gods, ghouls are the product of war, blueskins and deer-horned monsters and corpse babies are the creation of an evil god called "Yut", there are many kinds of gods in this world

There are also many kinds of monsters, and these can only be regarded as ordinary monsters, and there are many more advanced and terrifying monsters in this world

For example, the Titan Behemoth, which can destroy a mountain at will, is a creature that is even more terrifying than a dragon, but it is rare and lives far from humans

This giant beast has no intelligence, and is completely like an animal, and legend has it that they look a bit like a giant orangutan, but they have three eyes, and any creature it targets will confuse their minds

In addition to the fact that this vast world is home to dragon grammarists, astrologers, high priests, archmages, light paladins, dark lichs, and more

His family was a middle-class nobleman, and it took him more than a hundred years to go from an apprentice mage to a great magician, but his qualifications were limited and he could not go further on the path of magician

In his later years, by chance, he acquired a book on dark magic, which contained all kinds of forbidden black magic, including making himself an immortal corpse witch

In his later years, he was unwilling to die, so he feverishly studied the forbidden spells recorded in the dark magic book, and in the last moments of his life, he turned himself into a corpse witch

It's a pity that because of his qualifications, he made a mistake in a certain step, causing his memory to be completely sealed in the depths of his soul, so he became a muddy nightmare

A wild corpse witch who can only follow instincts, he has been in this state for more than two hundred years, and he has also become powerful in the continuous predation and absorption of the souls of other creatures after death

For the cognition of the soul, the instinct is getting higher and higher, and from a newborn, ignorant weak corpse witch, he has reopened some spiritual intelligence, but because of his ignorance, he has absorbed too many soul fragments of other creatures

These fragments are beasts, monsters, humans, etc., so his mind is very confused, and he does not have a master, and most of the time he still acts like an animal

Hunting souls everywhere, during this long time, he still mastered a lot of things that the corpse witch instinct would master, such as those skills and so on

Unfortunately, he was not strong enough, so when the shadow of the alien plane appeared, he was thrown into the other world, until he was finally absorbed

This strange dream was very long, when Shen Mu woke up, he couldn't tell whether it was real or dreamy after being confused for a long time, and finally after a sigh sounded, he finally fully woke up

At this time, he found himself in a dark cave, which was not as dark as he imagined, but had some psychedelic light and shadow, as if he was in a dreamlike fairy tale world

The cave was so big that it was completely imperceptible to his perception, but strangely enough, it was in his perception

There's only one thing in this cave: the skeleton of a giant elephant! Layer by layer, piece by piece, large and small giant elephant bones, strangely enough, there is no smell here, but it makes people feel sacred

Before he could check his situation, a low voice like an ancient voice sounded in his head: "Human, thank you for bringing the king of my clan back to the territory to keep the Holy Mountain safe."

"Where is this? Who are you? Shen Mu asked suspiciously, looking around for a voice, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't see a living thing

"We are the ancient souls formed after the death of the giant elephant clan from generation to generation, this is the resting place of our giant elephant clan, and it is also the place where the king of the giant elephant clan receives the wisdom inheritance"

"Didn't I faint before, how could I be here?"

"It was that little guy who sent you in, he thought you had encountered something wrong and wanted us to save you, but unfortunately, we couldn't save you, we just unlocked the memory of the seal in your soul, fortunately you were able to wake up yourself"

"So is the crisis out there now resolved?"

"Yes, it has been lifted, although the Plain of Whispers has been greatly damaged, but time will heal its wounds, and all things will come back to life, and we have nothing to repay you but to give you the gift of our race: never get lost!"

"Uh, okay, thanks, can I go back?" Shen Mu didn't care about this strange-sounding talent, but he still immediately felt it:

It was strange that he could now walk back to the City of Stars with his eyes closed, so he took a look at the systematic introduction of this talent: the path you have traveled will always be remembered, and no matter how the road changes, you will always find your own footprints

Shen Mu felt a little strange in his heart, what is this? But one more talent isn't a bad thing, so he didn't care.

"Of course, you can leave at any time, but before that, you can go to the depths of the Holy Mountain, where there is something good for you, and after leaving, you will forget about this place."

As soon as Shen Mu heard that there were still benefits, he stepped on the bones of the giant elephant and walked towards the depths of the cave, and the further he went, the bigger the bones of the giant elephant became

When you come to a clearing, the bones of the giant elephants here are all golden, but there are only about a dozen of them, and this space should be the deepest part of the cave, because there is a mountain wall on the opposite side

There was a small pond on the hill wall that flowed in the ground, and the strange thing was that no matter how the spring water flowed down, the little pond on the ground would not overflow the water

There is a gap in the roof of the cave, and the midday sun shines right on this small pond

On the edge of the pond, there was a small tree that looked very ordinary, more than one person tall, with a thick thigh, and only seven leaves, which made Shen Mu care about: these seven leaves are actually round and square, with prismatic shapes, sword shapes, etc

At this time, the tree bears a fruit, but it still looks green

Shen Mugang stretched out his hand, and the voice sounded in his mind again: "This tree was originally a life fruit tree, and its leaves and fruits were not like this before, but fifty thousand years ago, after an apocalyptic disaster

The tree became what it is now, and the fruit it bears is no longer the fruit of life, and we don't know what it is, so it has not been eaten by future generations, and it has been like this for 50,000 years

The spring next to it is the spring of wisdom, which has not changed, we giant elephants have always relied on it to open wisdom, and you can only choose one thing to take here, whether it is a leaf, or a handful of spring water, or that fruit."

"Can you tell me what happened 50,000 years ago?"

"We don't know much about it, but we just feel like there's an energy that throws our world out of its original space, and after the catastrophe that apocalypse, many parts of our original world have disappeared

But there is a new place, much like the heterotopic invasion that is happening today, and since then, our race has become stronger and our lifespan has increased greatly

Of course, given our power at the time, we don't know exactly what happened at that time."

At this time, Shen Mu found that the system had sent a new main quest: the truth! Investigate the real reason for the appearance of otherworldly shadows. Reward or punish as appropriate

"Ho, it's so interesting, even the system came to join in the fun, I didn't talk much if I knew it." Shen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said into the air:

"Can you tell me what that disaster looks like?"

"The boundless darkness, the hunger, the cold, the despair, in your human words: the earth sinking, the volcanoes erupting, the forests withering, the rivers cutting off, the sun and the moon losing their light, lasted for about half a year, and only then did the earth slowly regain its life

During that time, many animals died, only a few of our tribe survived that time in the sacred mountain, and the animals outside today came here from other places. ”
