[000] Prologue (medium)
The mortals, who have been oppressed for an unknown amount of time, have finally defeated the Protoss, who originally thought they were invincible, this is undoubtedly a great honor for them, but before enjoying the glory, they are more willing to taste the taste of revenge.
-for-tat, a-for-tat, is what most people advocate, and think about it: how ironic it would be to put the defeated Protoss in the Furnace of Destruction and let them experience the horror and torture that mortals had experienced before—but wouldn't mortals be as cruel as the Protoss who ruled them?
Sure enough, the leaders who led the mortals to victory, the Yu Gong clan did not agree to this proposal, but not because it was too cruel, but because it was not cruel enough.
"I've long felt tired of seeing the pretentious virtue of the Protoss," the king of the Yu Gong clan, Yu Gong Polou, said lightly when asked how to deal with the Protoss, "Think about it again, torture them in a more interesting way."
For a "more interesting" approach, mortals have built a place on the edge of the world that is even more miserable than the furnace of extinction: the Prison Against the Heavens.
The Heaven-Defying Prison is in the shape of a tower, surpassing the Extinction Furnace in both area and height, and even gives people the illusion that they can reach the heavens, and the subconscious male vanity of mortals is haunted by their preference for huge pillar-shaped buildings to commemorate the victory in the war with the Protoss.
But what is truly terrifying, compared to the outside, is the punishment used inside, in short: endless humiliation.
The ruthless style of the Protoss probably stems from their desire to put an end to worldly passions and desires. It was precisely in response to "this pretentious and lofty virtue" that the Yu Gong clan came up with the most extreme punishment: for those who regarded themselves as "good at fighting" among the Protoss, the punishers abolished their limbs, deprived them of their freedom, and sent weak and sick mortals to insult and beat them all day long; for those who regarded themselves as "chaste" among the Protoss, the punishers made them naked and sent filthy mortals to molest and humiliate them all day long; and for those who regarded themselves as "elegant" among the Protoss, the punishers made them live in secret rooms, and put feces, corpses and other filth into the secret rooms in turn all day long......
The construction of the Anti-Heaven Prison made people start to have doubts about the Yu Gong clan, the "heroes" of this mortal world. And what happened afterwards proved that this suspicion was not unreasonable.
When the last Protoss was imprisoned in the Heavens Prison, mortals had no opponents and ushered in a peaceful life. But peace is precisely what the warlike Yugong clan cannot bear.
So under the pretext of "searching for the remnants of the Protoss", they began to frequently fight against the other world, a realm that mortals have not explored, and provoked creatures from other worlds, so that the demon beasts, holy spirits and other races that had nothing to do with mortals began to be angry, and in turn entered the mortal world in large numbers and took the initiative to kill humans.
Even so, no creature could stop the Yu Gong clan with the "power of the gods". Eventually, the "tyrants of the world" fought in the north and south, expanding their territory to the limit - until there was no way to fight.
The Yugong clan had been completely carried away by the desire to slaughter, and in order to continue fighting, they did not hesitate to turn the spearhead to the mortal world, provoked a civil war, wantonly killed their compatriots, and inflicted indiscriminate punishments, and built a prison on a certain high mountain dedicated to the detention of mortals.
Because the Yugong clan at this time has disdained management, this place is simply careless of human life: criminals fight each other, lynching everywhere, people die all day long but no one takes care of it, and the corpses are thrown directly down the mountain: the bones are piled up into a mountain, and the corpses are gathered into a river, so this place is called "Yellow Spring" by the world.
In this way, the mortals who defeated the Protoss and thought they would be able to live a stable life fell into an even darker abyss.
I don't know how long this kind of day lasted, the Yu Gong clan continued to make waves, provoking mortals, demon beasts and the Holy Spirit regardless of the consequences, and finally alarmed the strongest demon beasts that were originally hidden in the corners of the other world, unwilling to participate in the struggle in the world - the Dragon King and the Wolf King, and the strongest Holy Spirit - the four holy beasts, their combat power is immeasurable, plus the rest of the mortals, demon beasts and Holy Spirit who have been allied, soon they will completely defeat the Yu Palace clan with a devastating momentum.
After the victory, the alliance of the three clans was worried that the tyrannical Yu Gong clan would turn into a turbid soul and harm the world after death, so it decided to use the extinction furnace built by the ancient gods for the last time, trying to seal the soul of the Yu Gong clan forever.
As a result, a figure known as "Heavenly Craftsman" among the mortals recreated the key to the Extinction Furnace, opened the gates of hell that had been sealed for many years, and threw all the Yugong people into the Extinction Furnace together with the main backbone of the Three Clans Alliance.
At this point, most of the Holy Spirits and Demon Beasts returned to the territory formerly known as the "Other World" and dominated by the "Four Elephant Mountains", and a small part entered the mortal world and coexisted with mortals. Since then, there has been no more war in the world, and a period of peaceful reconstruction has begun.
