Chapter 232: The Fall of the Three Kingdoms
"Excuse me, are you the Corpse King?"
"Exactly!"
"Actually, I want to hear the story of this city and this temple, because it always gives me a strange feeling."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be really not afraid of me, it's just that I've been bored for so many years, just talk about it. "The corpse king fell to the ground, and they knew each other that with just one finger, Luo Ming would die without a place to be buried.
And how could Luo Ming not see the murderous intent of the corpse king?
In ancient times, on the Holy Land of the Soul Domain, Fuxi recaptured Zhongzhou and opened up the Element City.
Parallel with the main city of the seven elements, there are three major kingdoms, namely the mountain country, the sea country and the snow country, they all control a fairly vast area, and their national strength is also superior to the main city, however, in a great catastrophe thousands of years ago, the three kingdoms have become existences that only appear in legends.
Of course, I wasn't born at the time, and I heard the legend.
That catastrophe was a disaster on the entire Soul Domain Holy Land, but the seven main cities had their own elemental protection arrays, so they survived, and the three ancient kingdoms disappeared in the Soul Domain Holy Land from then on.
In ancient legends, that catastrophe was called the Invasion of the Wraiths.
One day a thousand years ago, the humans on the Holy Land of the Soul Realm were living as usual, but they didn't know that the crisis was quietly coming. In a swamp in the southeast of the continent, a quaint magic circle exudes a faint light, and suddenly the light of the magic circle soars, straight to the sky, and then the talisman in the center of the magic circle turns into fragments in this violent light, and flies around, and the magic circle immediately becomes dim, and you can vaguely see that under the magic circle, in the deep black hole, a trace of black gas is constantly overflowing.
Soon after, many vague figures spilled out of the black hole, but those figures were not in the shape of humans, but in various strange shapes, either like beasts or like legendary ghosts, although they were different, but they all had a common name, called Wraiths.
Resentful spirits, which are generally transformed by the condensation of resentment by necromancy, are many times stronger than ordinary necromancy. Some of them are the souls of lonely people who died in vain, some of them are the souls of soldiers who died in war, and some of them are the souls of livestock, birds, birds and beasts. They have no entity, but they have abilities beyond ordinary people, some resentful spirits are not afraid of physical attacks, some have the ability to summon elements, some have the ability to summon low-level necromancy, and even more terrifying beings can call the wind and rain, and even destroy the world.
The speed at which the resentful spirits overflowed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for it to fill the entire swamp, and this swamp happened to be in the Sea Country, one of the three major countries of the Tianya Continent.
After the resentful spirits gathered, under the leadership of their leader, they began to attack the humans, and for a while the human beings were at a loss, but the resentful spirits were overwhelming and invincible. Moreover, where the resentful spirits passed, there were no living spirits, and at the same time, the dead air was everywhere, turning villages and cities into dead places. In less than a month, the entire Sea Country was occupied by the Resentful Spirits, and the territory of the Sea Kingdom was already full of lakes and swamps, so from that time on, the land of the Sea Kingdom was changed to a different name, which is now the Resentful Spirit Swamp. In the location of the original capital of the Sea Kingdom, the resentful spirits also built a huge castle, which is now the ghost ancient city.
When the resentful spirits attacked, the Sea King's Palace was in chaos, and the King of the Sea Kingdom, Lan Cang, had no children under his knees, only a daughter named Lan Ya. Seeing that the catastrophe was coming, Lancang sent his henchmen, Li Huan, the number one master of the Sea Kingdom at that time, escaped from the Sea Country with the princess, put on his armor and went into battle, and launched a big battle with the resentful spirits, but in the end he was still defeated and the whole army was annihilated.
Although the princess left the country under the protection of Li Huan, she was also chased and killed by the resentful spirits, until the end, Li Huan had to eliminate the pursuers at the cost of his life, but at this time only the princess was left alone, and continued to flee to the north. After escaping all the way to the Jinlong River day and night, the princess dared to stop, and at this time she had fainted due to overwork, and she had not woken up since then
I also wanted to know what the outcome of the catastrophe a thousand years ago was, so a group of our team found the Deadwood Daoist, and they thought that since this master of the world even knew about the events of the first birth of the universe, such as the changes of the elemental gods, he must also know about the events of this thousand years ago. Sure enough, from the Deadwood Dao people, we inquired about the whole process of the disaster.
The Wraith set out from the Sea Country and wanted to attack Aoki Castle, but it triggered the Aoki Castle Castle Protector Array, so the army was defeated, and the attack on the other main castles was the same result. So the leader of the wraiths began to fight other kingdoms that did not have the protection of the main city, so their next target was the mountain kingdom in the west.
Due to the complete annihilation of the Sea Country under the anger of the Resentful Spirit before, the people of the Mountain Country were on alert early, and the people of the Mountain Country were much higher than the Sea Country due to the difficult environment, and the ability of the soldiers was much higher than that of the Sea Country, plus the Resentful Spirit had to divide their troops to garrison the Resentful Spirit Swamp, so they did not get a lot of benefits in the Mountain Country.
Annoyed and angry, the leader of the resentful spirits thought of uniting the beasts in the western mountains to launch an attack on the human race, and under the attack of the two phases, the mountain country finally embarked on the same path as the sea country, and the whole country was destroyed. On the Sunset Plateau, where the capital of the mountain country is located, the wraiths and the orcs have built a sunset fortress together, preparing to use it as a base to continue their attacks on humans.
The mountain country was destroyed, and the snow country in the north was next. The Snow Country is vast and sparsely populated, covered with ice and snow all year round, and after occupying the Mountain Country, the Wraith Legion divided its forces again, and the troops were even more insufficient, so they immediately thought of the snow demons scattered throughout the Snow Country.
The Snow Demon is a unique life born in the snow of the Snow Country, and it is huge in number, but it has always been oppressed by the Snow Country, so the two sides hit it off and jointly destroyed the rule of the Snow Country humans.
At this point, a catastrophe on the Soul Domain Holy Land was over, and there were many strong human beings who rose up to resist at that time, but they were helpless and alone, and they couldn't withstand the swarming resentful spirits, not to mention the top existence among the resentful spirits.
In the disaster, many people fled to the Seven Main Cities, but no one of those times has survived to this day, and the Seven Main Cities have a large array of protection, and the people in the city did not have a deep impression of this disaster, so after a thousand years, this matter was gradually forgotten by people, leaving only the Ancient Sea Country, the Mountain Country and the Snow Country, which had become the territory of the resentful spirits, where they quietly told what happened thousands of years ago
