Chapter 8: The Emperor of the Dead: Let's get high!
Legend has it that more than 10,000 years ago on Earth, there was once a brilliant and brilliant magical civilization.
This magical civilization is made up of many races: Humans, Bloods, Werewolves, Demons, Undead, Gnomes...... The diversity of its civilization can be described as a hundred flowers. And because of the different talents and habits of each race, these numerous races have created their own countries. Among them, the three empires of elves, undead, and demons are the most powerful.
Originally, the many races of this civilization lived together and were peaceful. Although there may be a small friction from time to time, such as the Blood Kingdom dislikes the Werewolf Empire too rudely, and the Werewolf Kingdom mocks the Blood Empire as all dead and paralyzed, but the overall tone is still peaceful.
But one day, the Undead Emperor of the Undead Empire didn't know if his brain was pumping, and he suddenly launched a war against the Elven Empire. In just a few months, the two countries have fought to the point where they want to beat each other's dog brains out.
Even so, these two countries have a deep influence on other countries. Soon, more than half of the countries were involved in the war.
And then...... One day, the Demon Empire suddenly declared war on the Undead Empire, participated in this war, and began to anger the Undead Empire with the Elven Empire. The result was a terrible one: all the nations of the entire planet were involved in what could be described as an inexplicable war.
And then ......
The whole civilization was ruined.
That's right, the whole civilization was ruined. Although the accounts of this aspect vary from one edition to another, according to the Goddess's King James Edition, the New Man Needs to Know - History, it is:
The ancient emperors fought and fought, and their respective restricted weapons were used for no money. And when most of them calmed down, they found that the ecological environment of the earth had been destroyed by them, and the population of their various ethnic groups had shrunk a lot, and some even half of the country had no people.
So as soon as they couldn't go on like this, they decided to hold a meeting of 100 nations after a series of complicated discussions to discuss the matter of stopping the war.
There was nothing wrong with this matter, but maybe the Emperor of the Dead was really too high, or maybe he had a hole in his head, and on the day of the Hundred Nations Conference, he released a world-destroying weapon at the meeting.
- That's right, the world-destroying level, the specific power you can refer to the power of hundreds of atomic bombs tied together to explode.
Then without any surprise, the Great Emperor of the Dead hung up, and with him were all the ancient emperors who participated in the Hundred Clans Conference and the elites they each brought.
Not only that, but this world-destroying weapon is still unleashing its power outward, although it does not destroy the earth immediately, it is only a matter of minutes. At that moment, all the surviving creatures felt hopeless.
But it was at this time that the goddess descended. Not only did she stop the world-destroying disaster, but she also used an incredible power to restore the ecology of the earth to its original state. And with her help, the survivors survived on the wreckage of their original civilization.
Later, after an unknown number of years, and after many experiences, the human race rose - no way, who made them congenitally weak and could really learn magic There are few people, and there are few people involved in wars, so there are not many losses, and the ability to reproduce is strong- the ancient civilization developed. Other races mixed with humans, and gradually developed the current modern technological civilization.
And after listening to the history of the origin of the alien, Lin Ke only felt that he was confused.
He looked at Uncle Yang blankly, and then asked, "Even if the current human technological civilization is established on the corpse of the ancient magic civilization, is the reason because the ancient emperor died and his civilization was lost? At the last moment, there was a goddess who meowed him out to save the scene?"
"That's right, that's it!" Uncle Yang nodded affirmatively, and said seriously: "But you can't swear when describing a goddess." ”
Lin Ke couldn't care about Uncle Yang's advice, his worldview had been completely shattered, and he just continued to ask: "And you are the members of the non-human council established by the survivors after the development of human society in order to maintain the balance between aliens and human society? Are you still a magician? Aunt Yue is an elf?"
"That's right!" Uncle Yang nodded again.
Lin Ke shouted: "That's not right! Why hasn't such a big thing been recorded in the history of mankind? And since it is the remains of a magical civilization, why has a pure technological civilization developed now? Shouldn't it be a magical civilization?"
"It's not scientific!"
It's no wonder that Lin Ke reacted so much, but this incident had a bit of a big impact on him. If it is something he can accept that there is an alien in this world, this completely overthrows the alien origin of his worldview of the past twenty years makes him a little unacceptable.
Don't forget that Lin Ke studied history, and this complete subversion was a devastating blow to Lin Ke.
Uncle Yang was obviously taken aback by Lin Ke's reaction, but he immediately laughed happily and said, "Don't be impatient, Xiao Lin!
His voice seemed to have a strange power, which calmed Lin Ke's originally excited emotions all at once.
Lin Ke also realized his gaffe just now at this time, and immediately scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry...... But I'm really curious, it doesn't make sense at all......"
"What's so unreasonable!" This time, Uncle Yang pouted before he could speak, and said, "You have to know that 10,000 years is a very long time, and in such a long time, even if we are longevity species, the record of what happened 10,000 years ago is incomplete!"
"Even the "New Knowledge: History" published by this non-human council hundreds of years ago is said to have taken a lot of effort to collect information before it was barely able to put together such a rough version. What's more, with a short-lived race like you humans, the history of the three of you becoming a tiger is gone!. ”
"As for why only a pure technological civilization ......has been developed," said Yue Liuli, but she didn't say any more, but her face was not very good-looking. Uncle Yang sighed and added, "This is caused by the aftermath of the disaster 10,000 years ago. ”
"Although the goddess did prevent the catastrophe of the end of the world, in fact, the effects of that catastrophe have long since spread...... The moment the Undead Emperor released that weapon, it spread. Uncle Yang's expression carried a kind of heaviness and embarrassment that Lin Ke could directly see.
"And that effect has caused the offspring born to the survivors to have less and less supernatural powers, and the bloodlines to become thinner. This is true regardless of race...... Even the proportion of people with magical talents in the human race is rapidly decreasing, from one in a few people with magical talents, to not one in tens of thousands of people now with magical talents. ”
He looked at Lin Ke and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it is possible for us to continue to develop a magical civilization under this circumstance?"
"Uh......" Lin Ke was slightly stunned, he already understood a little in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking: "Then didn't your goddess take care of this matter?"
"It's not that the goddess doesn't care, it's just that the goddess can't ......" Uncle Yang shook his head and said: "The impact of that disaster is directly engraved into our blood, even if it is a goddess, there is no way to ......"
"After all, God is not omnipotent......"
