Chapter 2: Once upon a time, there was a catastrophe
In the library building
At the entrance of the stairs leading to the third floor of the library building, an old wooden door was closed, although this wooden door was a little dilapidated, but Wu Mu knew very well in his heart that the library building was the core of the martial arts.
On the third floor, there are not only precious ancient books inherited by the ancestors, but also many precious collections of the family.
In front of the door sat a gloomy white-haired old man, with his eyes slightly closed, holding a book in his hand, and I don't know if I read it or not...
"Hai Lao, I want to go to the third floor to look through some ancient books." Wu Mu looked at the familiar old man in front of him and said with a smile, "On the third floor of the library building, non-core members of the family can't enter..."The old man replied lazily.
Suddenly, Wu Changhai's eyes flashed, "Hey, Xiaomu, you've grown so big, go up, go up." ”
The small wooden door to the third floor opens without wind...
"Thank you, Mr. Hai... Ah... What's the mechanism of this wooden door..."Takeme muttered to himself, ignoring the slightly twitching corners of Hai Lao's mouth, and slowly walked up to the third floor of the library building.
The thick dust on the bookshelves seems to tell the leisurely years here.
In a corner of the wall by the window, under the illumination of the setting sun, the staggered grille of the window was reflected on the boy like the silhouette of time, and Takeme was very attentive, as time passed slowly, I don't know when there was only the afterglow of the sunset outside the window.
At this moment, the multiple luminous beads embedded in the wall glow faintly.
Finally, after reading several books describing the history of this world, combined with what I have seen and heard recently, I gradually understand the origin and past of this world:
At the beginning of all things, there was no life and no destruction, and in the endless chaos, only a mysterious light flashed out of the chaos.
This is an ancient mask, the whole body is dark, the name is "Ninefold", the ninefold god face is pregnant with the aura of heaven and earth, the essence is condensed, so that the pure qi rises and the turbidity falls, I don't know the geometry of the years, and the initial world is formed.
In ancient times, the initial world was like a paradise, with flowers, insects, birds and beasts unrestrained, and the four seasons turned to dry and rotten.
The good times are over
Ancient books record that in ancient times, the original world was accidentally found by a giant evil outside the territory, and the evil thing wanted to use the great evil art of devouring the sky to engulf this world.
At the critical moment, the "Ninefold" senses that the initial world is in danger and appears to fight against the extraterritorial giant evil.
I saw that the ninefold divine face turned into a giant, and the limbs and torso all showed mysterious lines, shining with dazzling light, and each punch brought endless power.
But the strength of this evil creature is all over the sky, how can it be a good-looking character, almost at the same time, it incarnates into an eight-armed giant who exudes an evil aura, and is covered in purple and black, and the magic of evil is already invincible.
Under the several rounds of fighting between the two sides, they couldn't distinguish the superior for a while, and the power of each other was incredible.
In the end, as the founder of the original world, in order to protect this world and the chaotic creatures, the "Ninefold" condensed all the ontological forces to form the "Ninefold Divine Power", hoping to die with the evil things outside the territory.
At the same time, the evil creature also cast the Great Evil Technique of Devouring the Heavens, and after the collision of the two supreme forces, it unexpectedly did not explode immediately, but instead merged with each other and annihilated.
In an instant, an endless world-destroying light erupted, and the light shone on the ninefold and the body of the evil incarnation disappeared in an instant, and the ancient mask of the "nine-fold" body was shattered by the world-destroying light.
The dust of the two bodies melted away...
The evil thoughts left by dust and evil objects were intertwined and condensed into countless "evil dust" scattered in the sky, and from the extremely high altitude, the dust occupied almost all the space of the initial world.
"Evil Dust" has an incomprehensible extraterritorial toxin, which makes the place where it falls a forbidden area for life, and in an instant, the ancient chaotic creatures have suffered a catastrophe.
Fortunately, all things are born together, and the "Dust Shelter Spirit Tree" born in the initial world can naturally dispel evil dust, and creatures can survive under the protection of the Spirit Tree.
Unfortunately, the evil dust can only be dispelled, not completely destroyed, and the chaotic creatures where they fall still cannot survive.
There are faint signs of life in the terrifying silence of the evil dust, and the years have changed, and the evil dust monster has been born out of the evil dust.
What's worse is that once these monsters roam around for a while, the place will become infected and will transform into a forbidden area for chaotic creatures.
In ancient times, since the birth of the ancestors of the human race, in order to resist the invasion of evil dust monsters in the evil dust, the practice of martial arts began to prevail among the ancestors of the human race, and those who practiced martial arts were respectfully called cultivators.
The area bordering the Terrans on the edge of the Evil Dust Forbidden Zone is called the "Edge of the Evil Dust", and the ancestors who lived in it were the first to start cultivating and slowly survived from the evil dust.
After passing on from generation to generation, everyone understands that the beginning of cultivation first requires the practitioner's astonishing eyesight to see through the evil dust like yellow sand in the sky.
In order to avoid getting lost in it, it is important to cultivate the "spiritual face" through the aura of heaven and earth so that you can breathe freely in the Evil Dust Forbidden Land.
As the realm of cultivators improves, their abilities will become stronger and stronger, and there are many outstanding ones who can condense the power of heaven and earth to go to heaven and earth.
After the Ninefold Divine Face shattered, it turned into eighty-one Divine Mask Fragments, scattered to all corners of the Initial World, each fragment contained Ninefold Divine Power, and had different abilities.
After a long period of washing, the fragments evolved into a series of supernatural masks, each of which was extremely powerful, and later generations of cultivators and major forces continued to collect supernatural masks to strengthen themselves against the evil race.
Since then, the human race has gone through the vicissitudes of time, recorded the eighty-one supernatural masks one by one, and formed the "God Face Heavenly List"!
Cultivators who are recognized by the supernatural masks in the list can obtain the inheritance of the divine face, and the cultivators can exert their exclusive abilities according to their own cultivation.
Depending on the practitioner's perception of the supernatural mask, the ability to comprehend is also different.
Most of the supernatural masks scattered all over the world have been obtained by the top forces in the world, and they will often be passed down from generation to generation as the foundation of these great forces.
The strongest person in the human race, known as the "Old Emperor" Hess, rules the Ninefold Sacred Domain, leading the strong of all races to resist the evil race, and his supernatural mask is "Eight Desolations and Six Combinations of Non-Idleness", ranking 3rd on the eighty-one God Face Heavenly List!
Although there is a threat from the Evil Dust Clan, fortunately, generation after generation of Terran giants have succeeded each other, and they can always turn the tide in a critical moment.
In the past hundred years, the evil dust border near the Endless Mountain has been impregnable under the protection of the various forces led by the Nine Ancient Domains, and everything in the half of the world is endless, and the major forces of the human race have emerged in an endless stream, and the prosperity of the past seems to have returned.
In ancient times, there was a proverb "Ninety-nine return to one, heaven and earth reopen day".
Therefore, everyone believes that when the ninefold god face reappears in heaven and earth, evil will disappear and the world will regain its vitality, and the ninefold master can dominate all things in heaven and earth.
