Lu Yao ate the potato chips and clicked on the statue of the water nymph with one free hand.

Next to the idol is Isene's appearance, still holding a bunch of reeds in her hand, and a glimmer of light emanates from her long white dress.

"Masahami-sama."

He bowed slightly.

Lu Yao asked Him what he was doing.

"I'm scouting the waters here." The water nymph said: "In the water environment of this world, there are very few fish and shrimp, and I suspect that there are some factors that affect the ecology in the water. If you can't figure out the state of the waters, whether it's Rusarka, the water fairies, or even all kinds of life on land, will be affected. ”

"After careful observation over this period of time, I discovered that the water here has been dumped with harmful liquids and waste materials for a long time, and that it is the work of local magicians and mystics. However, I have carefully investigated that this amount of harmful substances alone is not enough to affect the entire water environment. ”

Lu Yao thought to himself, this is to give full play to the water fairy's specialty.

"Through the power of the water element, I examined this Panshui River in detail, and followed it all the way into the ocean, but found that the sea life there was basically normal. Not long ago, I found out the reason. ”

Essene paused: "In the lakes and streams of the Mystic Country, there is a plant called [Water Mold Grass], which can cause poisoning and chaos in fish and shrimp. After the poisoned fish and shrimp are eaten by the people and beasts here, the toxin will persist and precipitate for a long time, and continue to affect the humans who will eventually eat the meat, so the people here are easily injured and sick, and it is accompanied by spirit-like hallucinations. ”

"I think that the people here are very fanatical about performing sacrifices and rituals, and there are large followers of both gods and demons, who love to study spells and secret arts, but who are slow to invent and make them with little interest in the invention and manufacture of reason...... It is related to the general environment caused by [Water Mold]. ”

"[Water mold] can't survive in the marine environment, so it doesn't exist in the sea."

"I asked the Rusarcas to clean up most of the [water mold] and put the rest in a few enclosed lakes for comparison and preservation. Now it seems that the number of fish and shrimp in the lakes and rivers is slowly recovering, and I think it will gradually get better in the future......"

After Lu Yao listened, his impression of Essene changed.

He was careful and rigorous in his areas of expertise, and he was very strong in action.

Lu Yao asked the water nymph to continue her efforts, and then switched perspectives back to the stone wall.

Bifrone once again began the demon ritual and summoned the demon god Kali.

This time, Kali appeared directly in the size of a normal pixel villain, and a silly smile lit up on the top of its head: "Thanks to the funding, I have repelled Tiamat and taught it a hard lesson." ”

Isabel immediately said: "Congratulations. ”

"So let's go on, where do you ask? I want to think about it...... Why did the gods become demon gods, right? ”

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and the demon god seems to be no exception.

After defeating the strong enemy and solving the current crisis, Kali also became talkative and cheerful.

It took the initiative to confess: "I don't know about the situation of other demon gods, I am tired of the life of gods. ”

"Endless divine wars, unstoppable fighting and fighting...... I come from Hindu mythology and must follow the orders of the Lord God, all I have to do is to participate in all kinds of divine wars, endless wars. I don't know how many years passed, but I became more and more furious and irritable, and even began to lose control, killing without distinction between friend and foe. ”

"At such times, I slain an incomparably powerful anomalous object and obtained a [Vault Dweller's Certificate] from its body."

"This is also the key to transforming into a demon," Kali said. ”

"You must possess the Vault Dweller's Credential and merge with yourself, otherwise there is no other way to enter the Grey Vision."

Kali did not hesitate to abandon everything at that time, and generously gifted his divine kingdom and props to some weak gods, and became a demon god.

However, when it came back to its senses, it found itself in a gray sea of mud.

There was no end to it, and there were gray stone statues scattered on the ground. These blurred figurines of solidified gray clay stand quietly on this soft sea. In the distance, there are pillars that reach into the sky, as if they have not been touched for eternity.

Kali became one of them.

It can't move, and the rules of the world here bring everything to a standstill.

"That's hell."

Kali preached, "It is clear that it exists, but it cannot be proved, because it is immovable, only consciousness exists." There, I wondered if I was dead, but somewhere in the underworld after I had fallen. ”

"Until I finally noticed that the gray stone statue closest to me was moving next to it."

"It's the gray mud on its body, and the mud is moving. I wanted to do that, but I couldn't...... Many years later, I learned that the mud needed the power of the fire of faith to push it, and only the power of the fire of faith could still work there. ”

When it comes to life in hell, the more Kali speaks, the slower he becomes, as if he remembers something.

“…… I later followed their example and used the fire of faith to push the plaster. The grey clay is called by the demons as the Resting Soil, the Underworld, and the Ashes of the Gods, and I am used to calling it the Underworld. They expand and grow on their own, like living creatures, and are the only matter there that is not affected by stillness. ”

Lu Yao was shocked.

Si Yang has something to do with Hell.

"The Underworld is a living thing, the only thing that can move there."

"But the demons aren't sure what it is, maybe only the oldest demons know about it. But they were too far from hell to reach them. ”

A small sighing icon appeared on Kali's head.

"Once the demons enter the Grey Vision, they will first appear in the quagmire of hell. Then you need to wait for those underworld soils to grow all over your body and complete the full coverage, so that you can get the ability to move in the clay space that is completely enclosed. ”

"The Underworld can lift the stillness there."

"In the earliest days, demons learned to use the fire of faith to alter these mud seals, allowing them to wrap their bodies around and move through the mud so that the demons could move and stretch. Later, the demons learned a new method, they used the fire of faith to completely solidify these living earths, and burned them into a boxy stone brick, which we call the "Forbidden Stone". ”

"With the Forbidden Stone, you can use the fire of faith to build a stable and confined building space, and then pave it outward layer by layer. This is the prototype of the earliest [Demon Pillar] or [Demon God Pillar], because it was invented by the Demon God, so most of them are called Demon God Pillars. ”

It goes on to say, "By continuously burning the Forbidden Stones upwards and connecting them, you can build a path from Hell to the Horizon, which is the pillar of the Demon God Pillar. By moving and building from the bottom up on the pillars, the Daedric Pillars will grow longer and longer, reaching far into the air. ”

"The demons used the Demon God Pillar to expand all the way outward, away from the gray hell on the ground, and into the infinite black dome of the sky."

Lu Yao listened attentively.

Hell turned out to be a static world.

The Demon God Pillar is a demon's workbench and vehicle, like a space elevator that stretches infinitely into the distance—or the Hell's Ladder.

Isabel asked, "Is there anything in heaven?" ”

"I don't know."

Kali shook her head left and right: "But it's better to go out than to stay in hell." And the farther you go, the more you can sense the call of the void, and the closer you get to the outside, the more you can respond to the sacrificial rituals or prayers outside. Demon gods can still perceive the prayers left over from their past god eras, and in order to conceal them, there are also demons who will also change the prayer ritual through projection. ”

"I've been using the [Extinction Incarnation] rituals and sacrifices of the past, but I've added some defenses against other demons."

The so-called defensive means are the dark sacrifices that were used against Bifrons before.

Isabel said: "It seems that there is a lot of competition among the demons. ”

"That's no way around it, the fire of faith is just as vital to demons."

Kali recounts the secrets of the demons: "In order to get closer to the outer layers of the Gray Vision, all the demons are constantly extending and forging the Demon God Pillar, allowing themselves to move farther and hear more voices in response. ”

"Some of these voices are rituals and prayers for a particular demon, while others are shouts to the entire Grey Vision, and any demon can respond. But since it is from the outside in, they are all screened by the outermost powerful demons first, and they don't need to flow in. That's basically what happened. ”

"In addition to this aspect, the demons often fight each other when they consume the Demon God Pillar of Faith Expansion."

"There are usually two ways to fight. One is to use the Demon God Pillars to disassemble each other, exposing the enemy to the stillness of the Gray Vision; The second is to connect with each other through the Demon God Pillar to kill the enemy's body. ”

"In the Gray Vision Realm, the vast majority of them use the Demon God Pillar as a combat method, and the second type of decapitation battle conditions are very harsh and difficult to achieve."

Isabel took the opportunity to say, "Aren't demons immortal? What's the point of fighting each other...... Is it to compete for the ready-made [Forbidden Stone]? ”

"Yes."

Kali's eight hands stretch rhythmically and slowly, like swaying seaweed.

"Snatch the opponent's ready-made [Forbidden Stone] to expand your own Demon God Pillar. Demons that lose the protection of the Demon God Pillar will be frozen, and they will have to self-destruct and return to Hell to start from scratch, which will be another long process......"

"Demons can get more materials by snatching to expand the range and strength of the Demon God Pillar, making it easier to travel out, and reducing competitors."

"Some powerful demons have turned the Demon God Pillar into a floating island land, and they act in groups, which is unshakable at all."

"In short, the Demon God Pillar is the sword and shield of the demon, and it is the only thing that can be relied on."

Lu Yao touched his chin when he saw it.

Demons attack each other in pillar form.

He had in his mind the image of two inflatable dancers fighting in front of the mall......

It's no wonder that a large amount of faith fire is needed, and the more forbidden stones you have, the stronger the Demon God Pillar will be, and the more room and leeway you can maneuver.

He asked Isabel to ask again: "The confrontation of the Demon God Pillar is a competition of the ability to disassemble the opponent's structure, as well as the ability to respond quickly, is this what it means?" ”

"Yes. Burning and pushing stones is what the demons do. Kali said.

Lu Yao realized.

The demons are very short of the fire of faith, so they need to come out and find a way to collect it, otherwise they may fall back into hell after years of running and start all over again.

They are also groups that can be united.

Demons may not have the advantage of creating and developing, but they are valuable as a powerful source of information, their projections spread across many worlds, and they are on the lookout for other demons.

So, Isabel said, "I don't know, are you interested in long-term cooperation with our Yao clan?" ”

Kali asked, "How do you want to work together?" ”

Isabel said the conditions.

“…… Help you get demon information and hunt down demons and projections here...... Provides information on other worlds...... What did you think of me? I was once a well-known starter, and now I am a veteran demon god! Less carried away! ”

A fiery expression appeared on the top of Kali's head.

Isabel said, "We are willing to fund your cause as a Demon God Pillar in the Grey Vision. ”

The flames on Kali's head were even worse, and an angry expression appeared: "Don't think that if you have a lot of faith reserves, you can do whatever you want!" ”

"This is just a friendship, not a deal."

Isabel continued, "I hope that you will establish a long-term friendship and mutual assistance relationship with you, and I hope that you will accept this heart...... By the oracle, we will first send out 100 million flames of faith and make friends. If you don't dislike it, please accept it. ”

“……”

The expression of various symbols on the top of Kali's head changed, and finally it said, "That...... Just thank you. ”
