Thirty-fourth Sura The plague of grief
Camila has managed to read the hidden information of the High Evolutionary, which is what he did after he came to the world of Mistara. Amazingly, these accounts are very different from the myths and legends of the Mistara.
The Mistara civilization at that time was very different from today, there was no unique caste system, and there were not so many dangerous shape-shifting monsters in the world. The tributaries of the Mistara and Ganga rivers spread throughout the northern part of the Great 6, and the civilizations that arose along the rivers were rich and long-lasting. The Mistara people live a rich life by the bounty of the Ganga River, which they call the Holy River.
Fishermen, merchants, monks and scholars, carpenters, stonemasons and blacksmiths, who built a hundred beautiful towns from the upper reaches of the holy river to the mouth of the sea, each more beautiful than the last. Nestled in the flamingo hills, Jadpur is surrounded by dense jungle and waterfalls with white marble pavilions in the middle of the waterfalls, which are connected to the city's palaces through corridors carved into the stone walls. Monks often choose to meditate in the pavilion, with the crackling sound of a waterfall hitting the marble rooftops overhead, and the deep tan with a roar of turquoise green more than a hundred feet down.
Udaipur, the city of fountains, where gardens, temples and palaces are surrounded by fountains. The square is always filled with singing and laughter, and young men and women dancing can be seen everywhere throughout the year. In Jiebu, where the three rivers converge, there is a pink amber palace, where the earth kings built huge artificial lakes and raised countless new species of fish. Agra, the largest of all the cities, has a chic royal garden called ** Garden.
Art, music and mathematics are exhibited in the cities of the Mistara people, and among this people, men and women are equal. Girls are free to choose their husbands, or they can choose to leave in case of disappointment.
There was also a war between the Mistaras, but it was nothing like the war on Attas. In the eyes of the Atas, the warfare of the ancient Mistara was ritual, similar to that of children. For countless centuries, they lived in peace and quiet.
In the myths and legends of these natives, when the alien visitor first appeared, they welcomed the arrival of the "Calamity" with open arms. The clinker's ungrateful "scourge" spreads all kinds of diseases among the Mistara people, spreading death and despair.
But the message deciphered from the chain of heredity tells a different story to the Great Druid. Indeed, when the last man who had escaped from the dead city and was the last of a glorious civilization had just arrived in Mistara, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Mistara. The local monks proclaim that everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the generosity of the holy river.
The following description is conflicting, and according to the information deciphered from the chain of heredity, the halfling, the High Evolutionary, had no intention of being an enemy of these native peoples in the first place. Instead, he found a sparsely populated area and began to build his own dwelling.
According to mythology, the "Scourge" created all kinds of monsters in his Demon King's palace - such as the Raksha, shapeshifters, its, etc. - to hunt the Mistara. The deciphered information said that the High Evolver didn't create monsters in the first place, and that what he wanted to create was another kind of creature - his Liansheng.
"I have genes in my blood that have been passed down from my ancient ancestors. Therefore, I will always be with my parents and grandparents. The High Evolutionary said in the encrypted message of the Chain of Genetics.
Using unbelievably advanced biotechnology, he set out to resurrect the entire Attath halfling race.
The deciphered information tells a story with twists and turns, and even a well-informed druid like Camilla couldn't help but be slightly moved when he read it.
The biotechnology of the Attas halfling is tantamount to terrifying dark magic in the eyes of the ignorant Mistara. Using the genetic chain in their bodies, many halflings were created (or cloned) by the High Evolutionaries, and although they were not very adapted to the environment of the planet Mistara, they managed to survive in the new world. They began to build outposts, which were then turned into towns, and towns became cities in turn.
The Mistara began to regret the generosity of their fathers, and friendliness began to make way for hostilities. In many places in the lower reaches of the Holy River, halfling cities made of coral and city-states made of Mistara marble face each other.
To be precise, halfling cities are not built, they grow. For a coral building to grow taller, it must have a saltwater environment that is suitable for the growth of polyps. And the Mistara people, as a river people, needless to say, must be a freshwater civilization. Halflings begin to modify their environment in order to survive, which makes the disputes between the two races more frequent and the hatred deeper.
One of the first wars broke out over the killing of a cow, and the Mistara revered this animal as the habitat of the gods, but in the eyes of the halflings the cow was just meat...... The First Cow War lasted for a month, and the Coral City of the Halflings was sacked and destroyed. But before the victors had time to celebrate, in the middle of the night the crocodiles in the river went berserk and went ashore to eat people, so the halflings turned defeat into victory.
Wars followed, the Battle of the Three Rivers, the Second Cow War, the Battle of the Gulf, the Beard War, the Third Cow War, the Battle of Dagger, and so on. The Mistaras won most of the battles, they were outnumbered and aided by magic and magic. In addition, the halflings made by the High Evolutionary are flawed. When he came to Mistara alone, all the genes about his race could only come from his own body, and from his cherished cluster of lover's heads. Although he tried his best, the genetic similarity of the halflings who created the zào was still too high. Without the intervention of the High Evolutionaries, they could not even reproduce properly, and even the children they gave birth to were mostly weak and stupid, completely unable to carry the glorious halfling civilization of Atas, or to fight the Mistara.
The "Great Catastrophe" a hundred years after the High Evolutionary came to Mistara made this series of conflicts reach a bloody **. Three demigods from the heavenly court descended to the mortal world and, along with their people, defeated, ransacked, and destroyed the City of Fraternity, a magnificent city located on a sandbar at the mouth of the Holy River. The defenders of the City of Fraternity were brutally slaughtered, the survivors were reduced to slavery, and the coral towers they were proud of were brought down. After this qiē, the Mistara people scorched the earth and buried saltpeter in the smoking ruins so that it could never be rebuilt.
Faced with the destruction of the city of fraternity, the halflings were shocked and united in panic. However, the High Evolver himself mysteriously disappeared at this point, as he did not wish to be an enemy of the Mistara people, and still hoped that the qiē would end in a peaceful way.
In the absence of a High Evolutionary, these halflings elected a woman to be their leader. It is said that she is the most proud creature of the High Evolutionary, completely reproducing the appearance of his beloved deceased wife, and there are almost no flaws. She gathered all the halflings who could fight, and gave them a name, the "Orphan Expeditionary Force", and she herself became known as the Orphan Queen.
They are all the products of advanced biotechnology, and they have no parents in the natural sense. But they are all orphans too, orphans of the mother planet Attas.
One of the largest armies in the history of Mistara set out and sailed up the holy river. The army was divided into three, one on the left and right sides of the Holy River, and a third of the halflings at the helm of the fleet. The Orphan Queen destroyed villages, towns, and strongholds along the way, defeating her opponents.
In Gorakpur, she won her first victory, overwhelmingly destroying the army of fifty thousand Mistaras, and then destroying the town. The same fate befell Jaipur. In Mandara, the Orphaned Queen and her expeditionary force now face an army of 150,000 and 3,000 war elephants. Here they still have the upper hand, but at a terrible cost. Thousands of halflings were killed, and the rest took up their weapons and continued their march.
There were even two Mistara demigods who were killed by biological weapons made by the halflings. Giant siege worms burst out of the ground and dragged the demigods floating in the air into the dirt. Although these siege insects are based on earthworm creations, they have deadly tentacles and venom. They are so large that when they crawl together, it looks like an earthquake. The third demigod was badly wounded, but narrowly escaped. Afterwards, the herd suddenly became possessed by the fury of the Attas halflings, attacking and devouring the remnants of the Mistara.
The Orphan Queen has since been given the title of "mighty". It is said that the power of the Orphans' Expeditionary Force terrified the nobles of Mistara, and they no longer had the courage to face the army of halflings, so they had to huddle behind the tall walls and pray for the intervention of the heavens.
Gods and demigods attacked from Heaven, and this time it was no longer the three demigods of the Battle of Mandara, but a full three hundred, or even more. The halflings' biological weapons are so powerful that their floating octopuses can even climb to the edge of the atmosphere and perform orbital bombardment with their deadly spore cannons. But even so, they could not stand up to the heavens.
The giant siege worms were spotted by the god of Kupila, who led the volcano and burned them to death. The wind blew down the balloon-like floating octopus and the Skynet beast with razor-like appendages hidden in the clouds. The god of fire, Agni, sent down the heavenly fire, and countless halflings rushed to the holy river for protection, but now the vast river that could not be seen had been boiled by the god of fire.
The Orphan Queen was captured alive by the heavens and watched her subordinates be slaughtered. On this day all the Mistaras were dyed red with their blades, and the blood stained the holy river red, and it went down into the sea. It is said that until the distance of the twenty Palesan at the mouth of the sea, the sea water can still be seen slightly reddened. After that, the victors gathered their forces and conquered the halfling towns one by one. The Orphan Queen was locked in a cage, and everywhere she went, the Mistara people let her witness the destruction of the living beings.
In her cage, the Orphan Queen saw coral cities razed to the ground, men dying in heroic but hopeless struggles, and women and children being put to death. She cursed the Mistara fiercely, praying that the High Evolver would repay the day's blood debt ten million times. After a long ordeal, the victors finally killed the Orphan Queen.
In the end, there was only one city that was not conquered, and that was the first city built by the High Evolutionary. There, the long-vanished High Evolver reappeared, and declared himself officially hostile to the Mistaras.
The High Evolutionary gathered all the surviving halflings together and declared himself to lead them from the Heavens. He also retained the title of the Orphans' Expeditionary Force. "The god of evolution tells us that love is a tool to increase social connections, promote team atmosphere, and encourage childbearing, and is a ......tool for evolution," he is said to have said sadly in the direction of the Orphaned Queen's death. “...... So why do I feel love for the dead now? What kind of connection does this add, what atmosphere does it maintain, what kind of reproductive obligations does it perform? Is love really on top of evolution?"
Led by the High Evolutionary, the Halflings gathered all their remaining ships and set out to sea to escape the Mistara army. These boats are of different sizes, old and new, and some are just rafts used on inland rivers. After going out to sea, the wind god Vayu created a strong wind and set off huge waves, and on the first day of sailing alone, hundreds of ships sank and countless people died. What's even more terrifying is that there are bloodthirsty fish in the sea, and some people who have fallen into the water have been caught in one hand, but they have encountered a school of fish...... All that was pulled up was a bloodied arm with a skull at the end.
From this moment on, the counterattack of the High Evolutionaries officially began.
He created the first disease and used migratory birds to spread it to the Big 6. By the time of the autumn harvest that year, a third of the Mistara's livestock had fallen, and the crops in the fields and the catch in the water had been reduced by a third. An unprecedented famine swept through all the nations, and even the divine power of the heavens could not help it.
He also used the deadly bloodthirsty fish as a template to create a new monster, the Kotao Fishman. This monster has an extremely strong attack** and an amazing appetite, and can even make simple weapons and tools. They attacked the pursuing fleets of the Mistara in droves, and went ashore to plunder food. Since few people dared to live by the sea for a long time, to this day the Mistara people are still very backward in their seafaring skills.
While the Orphans' Expeditionary Force fleet docked in the Hashema Islands south of Big 6 to replenish supplies, the god Indra threw lightning into the earth and sent the Naga tribe to attack the halflings. Fifty ships were set ablaze by lightning, and many halflings were taken captive. The Naga Maharaja arrogantly demanded that the High Evolver surrender, and that he would allow him and his company to live as slaves. The response of the highly evolved was cholera, as well as a squid-shaped sea beast called the Kraken...... The island of Hashema now looks as if it has been crossed by a giant pear, and there are deep ravines everywhere, and a third of the Mistara people have died from cholera.
All sorts of hardships continue to thwart the surviving halflings, and people are left behind and missing every day. The High Evolutionaries drifted at sea for a long time after leaving the Hashima, with halflings trying to settle on several uninhabited islands. It's not a good place to live, the dreary heat is depressing, the land is too barren to be cultivated, disgusting insects are everywhere, and tigers inhabit all the tree-covered areas...... And of all the dangers, the deadliest are the terrible visions and traps of the Phantom King Moro.
Day after day, storms and thunderstorms hit the halfling's temporary shelter for a year. Every seemingly flat piece of land may be an illusion of Moro, with an abyss hidden beneath. Sometimes, the Phantom King will even create illusions of entire islands, causing halflings who go out to sea to fish to get lost and die.
The Orphans Expeditionary Force persevered until one day, when an entire island suddenly disappeared, and the island was once only a thousand acres of sea. It is said that Moro used his divine powers to create illusions of the entire island, and all the people who lived on that island were actually dead and replaced by the shadow puppets of the Phantom King. These puppets blend in with the halflings, creating death and suspicion.
The High Evolutionary immediately gathered all the people and continued to search for a new home. Retaliating again, using the tiger as a template, he created the world's first rakshasa demon - a ferocious predator that can transform at will. More plagues and diseases have also been released into this world.
The wandering went on for a long time, and some of them couldn't stand it anymore and decided to turn around and surrender to the Mistara, preferring to grovel and live. Waiting for them were the swords of the Mistara, as well as the burning stake.
It is said that Brahma of the Heavens also personally intervened, and the High Evolutionary surrendered and promised him a place in the heavenly court. "Your God has long since turned away from you, so why should you hold on?"
"In this world, the stone still falls when it is abandoned, which means that the god of gravity is still with me. The fact that the nucleus and the nucleus are still tightly bound together at one time shows that the god of strong interaction is still with me. The decay of matter is never interrupted, indicating that the god of weak interaction and force is still with me. You throw lightning and all things to show that the god of electromagnetism is still with me. The High Evolutionary responded unwaveringly. "The God of All Machines and ...... The same goes for the god of evolution. It was only at the end that he paused slightly.
Brahma's anger turned into a downpour, with strong acid in it. The high evolutionary then uses acid-resistant flying manta rays to shield this deadly gift. Sea turtles that orbit the ocean all year round, but are accustomed to returning to fixed beaches to lay their eggs, have this time become modified smallpox, tuberculosis, and injury. Death and destruction spread rapidly with their fixed migratory habits.
This time, the remnants of the Orphans Expeditionary Force sailed north to the unknown coastline, hoping to settle in the arid northern regions of the north, where few Mistara people had set foot foot. Everyone prayed that this time, the Mistara would not have expected that they would choose to settle in such a distant area.
They almost succeeded, and this vast area was almost untouched. Though the heavens have many eyes and ears, it is impossible for them to see every corner of the world. If it weren't for that accident, maybe they would have really been able to put down roots here.
Hita the wife of the Phantom King Moro came to the halfling settlement here during an expedition, and unlike her god husband, Hita was a mortal and the halflings didn't have much effort to capture her. It is said that at least one of the halflings who captured her had her husband killed at the hands of Moro. Out of hatred for the Phantom King, they executed Hita after brutally torturing her. By the time the High Evolutionary learned about this, it was too late.
Hitso's death finally provoked the interference that the High Evolutionary had been fearing. This time, it's no longer an easy opponent like Moro or Vayuna. This time, the best warrior in Heavenly Court personally faced one of the most evolved halflings.
The monkey king Hanuman, the destroyer, the maintainer, the one whose jaw is struck. The Mistara man was furious with the myriad of strange diseases, and when he arrived, all he had left in his mind was the battle, and there was no room for negotiation. The magical creatures of heaven and earth were also sent by Heaven to follow him.
The battle between the High Evolver and Hanuman exploded in this valley, and the Monkey King's golden rod hit the ground, forming a lake, cutting across the ground, leaving a canyon. The floating stones here today are the result of the divine power that was stirred thousands of years ago.
The High Evolver may have had the upper hand in battle, but the Monkey King extended his attack range to the settlements of ordinary halflings. He couldn't bear to see his remaining clansmen killed in front of his eyes, and the High Evolver had to devote his energy to protect them, which put him at a disadvantage. But no matter how ferocious he fought, the halflings still died in pieces.
The Monkey King actually did not defend against the attacks of the High Evolvers at all, and the way he fought was more similar to that of a beast than a human. But what really made Hanuman invincible was his immortal body.
Since the Monkey King was completely defenseless against his attacks, he was fatally hit several times. But each time, he was resurrected unscathed and thrown into battle once again.
It was a heroic but desperate battle, and eventually, in addition to the High Evolutionaries, the halflings were once again extinct on this new planet.
And the High Evolutionary himself was beaten to the ground, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, dying. "Enjoy your short-lived victory," he said. "For just now I have unleashed one of the most terrible of all the plagues...... Thousands of years from now, you will still feel its power. ”
The plague of grief was thus released into the world of Mistara, and for men, it killed ninety percent of them. For women, its slaughter is more efficient, ninety-nine percent.
Almost all the kingdoms have collapsed, and many of the gods in the heavenly court have been forgotten without worship. For an entire generation, the plague of grief spread to all cities, towns, and villages. The range of human activities has shrunk greatly, and the civilization and art that transformed monsters such as Rakshasa Demons and Kou Tao Fishmen have also been destroyed.
In order to survive, the last few states had to adopt a caste system. The men became Kshatriyas, Dharas, and Vaishyas, battling monsters created by the High Evolutionary while keeping society running. The women who were not killed by the plague of grief became the greatest treasure of a society, and their only responsibility was to reproduce and perpetuate the Mistara people.
With 90 percent of men and 99 percent of women dying, the sex ratio among those who survived was an incredible 10 to 1. Any idea of having a woman alone became an unbearable luxury, and the institution of marriage quickly dissolved and was replaced by the system of Bene and Teun. Gone is the Mistara society that used to be gender-equal. Although the High Evolutionary did not destroy the Miè Mistara people, he did succeed in destroying Miè's culture and society.
At the end of the story, an even more shocking piece of news is revealed. When Camila read this, she couldn't help but breathe a few beats faster.
"The Monkey King thought I was killed, but I didn't, and I saved my life with a technique he couldn't understand. Although the resurrection process took me hundreds of years, it worked...... Not only that, but I also figured out how to actually kill Hanuman......"
"But what's the point, revenge can't bring back my dead lives. Maybe it's time for me to leave this world, there is always a new world waiting ahead. ”
The Starch Spencer sent Druid Camilla with a strong premonition that the news she had obtained today would be of great use.
