Chapter 18: The Ephemeral 'Underworld'
In the main hall of the Qi family, the atmosphere is extremely strong.
From Qi Lan, the head of the Qi family, all the elders of the Qi family looked at Qi Xuan, the great elder of the Qi family, waiting for his answer.
Qi Xuan's gaze was a little ethereal, as if he had returned to the past, and in the depths of his gaze, sometimes revealing horror and sometimes fear...... This kind of expression was revealed in the eyes of the strongest person of their Qi family, which made all the high-level Qi family feel a little unbelievable.
Now it has been a full hour since Qi Lan, the head of the Qi family, asked Qi Xuan what the origin of the bones that occupied that Houtu County was.
In this hour, all the high-level officials of the Qi family were waiting for Qi Xuan's answer.
Just when Qi Lan couldn't help but want to bring Qi Xuan back to his senses, Qi Xuan finally came back to his senses, he looked at the high-level Qi family, and said fearfully: "Those bones, if I guess correctly, should be the necromantic legion from the underworld not long after the birth of the Savage World......
"The Underworld?"
It was the first time that many high-ranking officials of the Qi family heard these two words, and they all looked at Qi Xuan curiously.
Qi Lan, the head of the Qi family, said curiously: "Great Elder, what is this underworld? Necromantic Legion, what is it?"
Qi Xuan said: "When the Savage World was born, outside of the Barbarian World, a vast world was also born...... That world is called the 'underworld'. The area of the underworld is said to be almost the same as that of the Savage World...... The people of the underworld almost all came from the wild world. ”
"People from the underworld, from the wild world?"
The top of the Qi family still couldn't understand.
Qi Xuan continued to explain: "To put it simply, when the Savage World was first born, there was no life in the underworld...... Until the first living beings in the wild world began to die. In the underworld. Only then will there be living beings. To put it bluntly. In the beginning, the people who died in the Savage World, no matter how they died, would come back to life in the underworld and become a necromancer, a necromancer with only bones and soul fire. ”
Although Qi Xuan said it simply, the Qi family obviously still couldn't understand it.
"Great Elder, as you know. Once the people of the Savage World are killed, they will either be destroyed and their bodies will turn to dust...... How could they reappear in the so-called underworld?"
Qi Lan asked.
"That was now, but it wasn't like that before," Qi Xuan sighed and said, "In the past, in the Savage World, if someone died, the skeleton would never be destroyed...... Even though the soul is destroyed, the body dies. The bones will also be intact and vanished from the wild world. Disappearing bones. It will appear in the underworld, so as to obtain the soul fire given by the underworld, and come back to life in the underworld. ”
"Whoever dies in the underworld will no longer have the memories of the past, they are just a skeleton in the underworld that has no intelligence and only knows how to survive the fittest...... Of course, with the passage of time, there are also some bones in the underworld that gradually have wisdom and can better survive in the underworld. ”
Qi Xuan's explanation, to the ears of everyone in the Qi family, is undoubtedly a fantasy.
In the wild world of the past, once a person died, the bones would not be damaged in any way, and would they be guided into the underworld?
"Great Elder, I still don't understand what you're saying...... However, since the bones of the desolate warriors and desolate beasts of the Savage World would not be destroyed when they died in the past, why could they be destroyed now?"
Qi Lan asked.
Qi Lan's doubts were also the doubts of everyone in the Qi family, and everyone looked at Qi Xuan one after another.
Qi Xuan sighed and said, "All this is because of the disappearance of the underworld......
"The disappearance of the underworld?"
Qi Xuan's words made the high-level Qi family even more wide-eyed.
That underworld, which is said to be as big as the Savage World, has disappeared?
"Yes," Qi Xuan nodded, and continued: "The underworld, originally got along very well with the barbarian world, and those who died in the barbarian world can be reborn in the underworld...... In other words, any desolate warrior and desolate beast has two lives, and even if they die in the wild world, they have a chance to come back to life in the underworld. ”
However, as there were more and more people in the underworld, the underworld could not bear the load and began to fall apart...... 200,000 years ago, the entire underworld was completely destroyed, and almost all the people in the underworld were destroyed. However, there is still a group of survivors who have successfully escaped from the underworld and entered our wild world!!"
When Qi Xuan said this, he looked at the high-ranking members of the Qi family and said, "Now, you should understand the origin of the existence of those bones that occupied the county seat of Houtu County, right?"
Hearing Qi Xuan's words, everyone in the Qi family suddenly realized, those bones are people from the underworld?
Qi Xuan continued: "Since the disappearance of the underworld, we people in the wild world have no chance to be reborn into the underworld again...... However, the 100,000 undead souls who escaped from the underworld to the Barbarian World had a great war with our Barbarian World, and in that battle, all the five 'Desolate Saints' of our Barbarian World were killed, and hundreds of Desolate Gods were also killed one by one at that time!"
"Hundreds of Desolate Gods died in battle?"
Qi Xuan's words shocked everyone in the Qi family.
Aragami, what a terrible existence that hundreds of people died in battle?
Moreover, what did the Great Elder say about 200,000 years ago, the underworld fell...... Coupled with the words of the previous Great Elder, the Savage World was born 200,000 years ago?
Qi Lan had a lot of curiosity in his heart, but he still cleared his thoughts and asked word by word: "Great Elder, hasn't it only been more than 100,000 years since the birth of the Barbarian World?
"100,000 Years ......"
Qi Xuan smiled, shook his head and said, "Before, I thought so too. However, I later learned that the so-called theory of the birth of the Savage World more than 100,000 years ago is actually the 'new life' of our Savage World after several powers sealed the Necromantic Legion. ”
"Now, in addition to those long-lived desolate gods and desolate emperors, there are a few people who know that our barbarian world once had a stalemate with the undead spirits who came from the underworld for nearly 100,000 years, and finally under the premise of several great powers sacrificing themselves, they were able to kill and even seal the remaining undead. ”
"It can be said that the current stability of our wild world is all due to the sacrifice of those powers. ”
Qi Xuan's voice trembled a little.
All the high-level officials of the Qi family were stunned, what Qi Xuan said now completely subverted their past perception of the wild world.
The Wild World existed more than 200,000 years ago......?
