Chapter 386: Carp: The Disaster of the End of the World

Even an imperial princess as smart as Shi Curti would have a hard time coming up with a better way to break the game after putting herself in the shoes of the carp.

They are so weak that even uncultivated human children can easily hunt them.

They are powerful, and the communities they form after their disorderly reproduction are the most terrible calamity in the world.

It's like a little grasshopper jumping on the tip of the grass, and an overwhelming plague of locusts.

Mangula Nishizawa, the crown prince of a country, was helpless about the situation of the carp - no matter how much he liked the carp, he could not sit idly by and watch them as a disaster to the world.

Only change.

Only the carp population itself has made changes.

Another transition.

The number of carp has plummeted to one percent.

Originally, these white elf-like creatures can be found everywhere, whether in forests, villages, or cities.

With a little care, people can catch a few of them and make "Carp Tears" in exchange for a small fortune from the cultivators.

But suddenly, one day, they noticed that there were fewer carp.

At first, no one cared, after all, it was just a few days in a row.

Later, they regarded it as an after-dinner chatter, because some hunters who made a living from catching carp went bankrupt.

Finally, when the cultivators offered high bounties for the "Tears of the Carp", they realized in a daze that this small creature that could be seen everywhere seemed to have not appeared for a long time.

The three-winged king of carp and his remnants of his tribe overlook the world from a distance.

At the same time, Emperor Mangula Nishizawa announced that the carp would be removed from the "Disaster Beast Prevention Act, Appendix II (List of Disaster Beasts)" and moved to the "List of Endangered Alchemical Materials", and it was no longer allowed to be hunted at will.

People finally remembered another way to get the "carp's tears" - they began to treat every carp they saw as treasures in their hands, racking their brains to find something to love for them.

At this moment, forty-six years have passed since the King of Carp spread his wings and flew away from the Nishizawa Imperial Palace.

It hadn't been back once in the past forty-six years, but it and the human emperor seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection.

He understands what it's doing, and it understands what he wants to do.

"It really did." Scotti's shadow squatted in the air and sighed.

As she spoke, she propped her head weakly, her face was slightly pale, and she looked a little uncomfortable.

Decades of time span, more than a dozen story transitions, and the deaths of thousands of carp birds were fed back to her by the depth perception link of the "oath narrative".

Even if it's 10%, it's definitely not a good experience.

But Scotti had no intention of backing down, not once.

Now she has understood that her current experience is actually the true feeling of the godkiller back then—the so-called "heart-to-heart connection" is complete synesthesia of the life and death of another race.

She persevered with the help of Yan Lu Ge outside to help her open, what about the emperor?

Was there a similar technology 4,000 years ago? Or did he persevere entirely by will?

It seems to have become an eternal mystery.

"Transform your own race from a disaster beast to an endangered animal, and gain the mercy and protection of human beings, so as to achieve coexistence...... It's ......," Poet Cottie paused, seemingly unsure of how to describe such an act.

"It's amazing." Yan Luge picked up her words.

"Do you think so too?"

"Well, it's remarkable that the almost unintelligent carp clan has dominated to this extent." The voice of the song pierced into the mind of Poet Curti, "But, it's too late. ”

Scotty was taken aback.

The scene turns again.

The gods descended, and the aura was cut off.

The "Oath Narrative" fails to record the arrival of the gods, but only the scene that the minister reported to him from Mangula's perspective: several cities were lost overnight, and the few who escaped fell into madness and began to believe in the gods under the influence of unknown forces.

The Empire's alchemy forces entered the Tainted Lands, but had to pay a great deal of price to figure out the basic nature of the polluting forces because they had no experience in dealing with contaminants. The choice of the heavily polluted leader killed the xenos by self-detonation, and none of those who entered survived.

Before Mangula could arrange the funeral of the martyrs, the news of the resurrection of the xenomorphs and the fall of several cities again came.

There is no pattern to the deities that come and go, always appearing and disappearing suddenly, leaving behind a mess of pollutants that make the cultivators exhausted.

The only recorded sightings of them were in Hulyana, which was once the second largest city in Gucize.

The ninth-order great alchemist guarding Huliana detonated the silent active volcano and pounced in the flames on the foul-smelling giant corpse-like god "Astalo". The damage inflicted on the gods by this counterattack is unknown, but the city of Hulyanne has disappeared forever from the face of the earth.

Contaminants directed at different gods wandered and expanded, mingling into mysterious, unkillable xenomorphs that wreaked havoc in the Empire.

At the same time, even more terrible news came.

The source of spiritual power seems to be gone.

The Nishizawa Alchemy Department and the relevant departments of Tianzhou, Nile, Peacock Dynasty, and Sun God Kingdom submitted a joint communiqué to confirm that the cultivators on the Sea Blue Star could no longer enter the deep and eternal Sea of Origin, and they could no longer complete their promotion in any way.

The Spiritual Power Monitoring and Research Department, which was jointly created by the five major countries, issued an early warning, confirming that the density of the environmental aura on the current Sea Blue Star is declining sharply, the polluted spiritual power cannot be regenerated, and many strange beasts that rely on the high spirit environment will gradually become extinct, and the magic weapons that rely on the automatic charging of the environmental aura will slowly become invalid.

In other words, they would be the last generation of cultivators on this planet.

Shicotti saw that after hearing the news, Mangula Nishizawa still calmly gave orders to deal with this catastrophe, but when he returned to his study, he sat alone for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, as if he had heard something, he raised his head and said out the window, "Why are you coming back?"

"The source of spiritual power is gone, you know?

"There won't be any more alchemists, you know?

"There's no reason for humans to hunt you anymore, you know?

"You can live, you can live.

"The carp can adapt to almost any environment, and the degree of dependence on aura is not high, so you can live well in a world that has lost its spiritual power.

"Really? Would you like to fight with me...... So what do you want this time? ”

The three-winged king of carp fell on the windowsill and, like many years ago, looked at the human emperor who was no longer young.

On behalf of its subjects, it uttered the carp's answer: whatever you want.

Scotti knew that the story was coming to an end.
