Chapter 231: First Contact

Tang Yue continued——

Asgard has never been in active contact with the Nether, but its mere existence is enough to have a huge impact on the people of the Netherlands.

Almost naturally, the "Ascension to the Immortal Palace" has become the ultimate dream of almost every citizen of the lower earth, and has also become the main driving force for the development of the lower earth civilization.

As a satellite of Asgard, the Xuanyan Nether is a place with a very harsh natural environment, and the huge mass difference between it and the parent star leads to extreme gravitational locking, which causes one side of the Xuanyan Nether to always point to Asgard and the other side to always turn away, coupled with the huge eccentricity of the orbit, so that the entire satellite is ravaged by tidal forces almost all the time, and this eventually leads to almost every three or five days, and the geological changes that move mountains and seas will occur in the Xuanyan Nether.

The people of Xiatu thrived in such a world, and because the environment was too capricious, it was difficult for them to develop a scientific civilization based on summarizing the laws of nature, but fortunately, they found another way to develop - to study and strengthen their bodies.

This methodology was called "cultivating immortals" by the people of Xiatu, and soon became the cornerstone of the development of the entire civilization, in the process of cultivating immortals, and gradually differentiated into various branches such as sword cultivation, physical cultivation, spiritual cultivation, and Fu cultivation, etc., and there was often competition and even fighting between the branches, but in general, the civilization of Xiatu became more and more prosperous in the process of cultivating immortals.

More than 10,000 years have passed like this, and in the process, Asgard, as always, has neither intervened nor given any guidance. Finally, in the 11961st year of the lower earth calendar, the first immortal ascender appeared.

Her name is Jia Ling, she is a sword cultivator, on the day of ascending to the immortal, she used her own unique trick "Dengxian Sword" to soar into the sky, almost instantly, Jia Ling reached the gravitational equilibrium point between the Nether and the Asgard, but soon after, she hit the planetary defense field arranged by the Asgard near the balance point, not only stopped, but fell back to the lower realm.

Seeing that Dengxian was about to fail, Jia Ling took out another sword in mid-air, cutting open the defensive force field, and when the force field was torn apart, it burst out with a dazzling white light, illuminating the night sky on the back side of the sun as if it were day, in this snow-white light, Jia Ling's figure passed through the crack and became the first person to set foot in the fairy palace.

And her feat of "opening the gate of heaven with a sword" has also become a story repeatedly told in people's mouths.

Since Jia Ling successfully ascended to immortals, the Nether has set off a wave of ascending immortals in the following hundreds of years, countless outstanding people have tried to ascend to the immortal palace, many have failed, and lost their lives as a result, but there are also nearly 100 people who have succeeded. However, as more and more people succeeded, a problem was gradually discovered.

That is, none of those who have successfully ascended to the immortal realm have ever returned to the lower realm.

Soon, all kinds of terrible conjectures spread, such as that the immortals were actually a group of monsters that fed on the immortals, and those who ascended the immortals would be eaten as soon as they entered the fairy palace; For example, the immortal path cultivated in the fairy palace will wear out human nature, and after those who ascend to the immortals practice, they will no longer be the same as they once were...... And so on.

For a time, the image of Asgard in the lower earth people was completely reversed, from a holy place that everyone longed for in the past, to a dangerous demon domain.

From now on, the immortal cultivators who went down to the earth still planned to ascend to the Immortal Palace, but they were no longer looking for immortals, but to overthrow the high Immortal Palace.

But in the end, it didn't happen either.

Just when the immortal cultivators were planning a counteroffensive plan, some unknown enemy suddenly appeared in the star field near the Asgard Palace, and a large-scale tragic war broke out.

The Nethers have no way of knowing the details of this war, but they can observe its movements from a macro perspective.

The first battle broke out in the starry sky quite far away from the Asgard and the Nether, and countless points of light came out of the Asgard, forming a neat octagonal array in the night sky, each point of light represented an immortal boat, and there were thousands of such points of light. When the Xianzhou fleet set sail, it was as if the entire starry sky was shifting.

When the cultivators of the lower realm saw this scene, almost all of them couldn't help but feel afraid, and they realized that in the face of such a powerful strength of the Immortal Palace, how ridiculous the so-called "counterattack on the Immortal Palace" plan was before, if it was really implemented, it would be tantamount to asking for a dead end, and I am afraid that even the entire Nether Realm would cease to exist at that time.

About three days later, the battle of the fleet with the enemy, hidden in the dark deep space, began.

The dazzling light burst out in the starry sky one after another, illuminating the night as if it were day, and a strong aura storm followed - after a long time, they knew that it should be called a ray storm, and the weaker ones could not withstand such a strong aura infusion, and many people died because of the explosion, until later, a formation master established a large protection array, and everyone hid in the formation, which escaped.

The battle lasted three days and three nights, and they had no way of knowing the unknown enemy, but they could clearly see that only scattered points of light returned to Asgard, which was in sharp contrast to the magnificent fleet that had set out on the expedition.

The second battle took place in the "Heavenly Gate", that is, outside the planetary defense field, I don't know if it was because the Nether was too weak, and the enemy directly skipped them. With the battle location much closer to the Nether than in the first battle, the Nethers were finally able to witness the appearance of their enemies—a massive monster they had never seen or even imagined, and the cultivators named them "Star Sin" because of their hideous appearance from the starry sky.

In the second battle, Asgard gathered all the remaining immortal boats, relying on fire support in low-earth orbit, and launched a fierce battle with them. Countless stars were bombarded into fragments, and these fragments floated in orbit near Asgard, forming a wide planetary ring. During this period, sporadic remnants of sins fell on the ground below, the smallest of which was hundreds of meters long, and the largest was dozens of miles long.

The second battle lasted for seven days, during which countless stars were killed by Asgard, but they seemed to be endless, constantly pouring out from the depths of the starry sky, and finally the war ended in the defeat of Asgard again, and this time, not a single fairy boat survived, and the palace pavilion floating in low earth orbit was also destroyed.

The third battle can no longer even be called a "battle", and the Star Sin landed in Asgard and began a one-sided slaughter. At this time, the earth under the Xuanyan is also in a state of panic, and no one knows that when the Immortal Palace is completely destroyed, will the next target of the star sin be himself?

As time passed, the Nether people clearly and desperately saw that the magnificent palaces on the "Asgard" were collapsing one by one, and the mysterious and beautiful purple surface of the planet was gradually eroded by black. Just when they thought they were doomed, the accident happened again.

Another fleet suddenly appeared in the low-earth orbit of Asgard, and they were not as grand as the Xianzhou fleet in the first battle, and even the appearance of those ships was a little ...... Each has its own characteristics, or rather it is not very neat.

However, it only took less than a day for this fleet to wipe out all the stars on Asgard, and the stars that had been appearing from the starry sky in a steady stream did not know why they no longer showed up for reinforcements.

In this way, the immortal cultivators on the soil under the Xuanyan witnessed the appearance of the star sin and the destruction of the fairy palace within a month, and then the star sin was swept away by an even more powerful force in the blink of an eye.

Like a frog sitting in a well, suddenly seeing dragons and tigers fighting.

What made the immortal cultivators even more suspicious was that this force that had raised his hand to kill the stars took the initiative to contact them.

In the year 12345 of the Lower Earth Calendar, a race calling itself "Witches" set foot on the land of the Nether of the Dark Rock for the first time.
