Chapter 1: The Death of the Maharaja
The hot early summer of 2093 came too early, and on the outskirts of the imperial capital, a garbage dump that no one cleaned up, mosquitoes and flies were rampant!
Passerby A, who is undisciplined, habitual, and specializes in open defecation, is soothing at the stinking garbage dump.
He deliberately aimed his urine at a piece of torn newspaper to smash it.
"What did I ββ, write in this newspaper? A big man nude model was attacked by a dog in the middle of the night...... Hey, interesting. β
Finding the New World, after urinating for a while, he bent down, used a branch to flick the broken shredded paper, and read: "In April 2014, Mr. Fang Lei, a famous male model, a famous boxer, and a famous popular king---- known as Xiao Fangfang, was chased and bitten by dogs late at night, hid in a gas station, and happened to be missing when the refueler used his mobile phone to cause a fire. β
The newspaper attached a very handsome and sunny face of a man from the previous year, but he had already been drenched in urine, and now he can only be regarded as generally handsome at best, but he is much more handsome than passers-by.
Passerby A's self-esteem was challenged and scolded:
"What kind of old-fashioned thing, 79 years ago, this Brother B was so ugly! Can he be a popular king? Then I won't become a superstar?"
With one foot on it, passer-by A crushed the torn newspaper into sludge and turned away.
......
The other world, to be precise, is a gloomy desert of twilight.
In this desert, there is no concept of time, and there is no sun and moon. It seems like ever, forever will be so lonely.
The hideous beast bones that are as tall as a building appear in the desert half-covered and half-covered, accumulating into irregularly shaped bone towers. In addition to the bones of beasts and human bones, there are also some unnamed monster bones, monster corpses, weapons, and chariots, all of which maintain the posture of the last blow in their lives.
It can be seen that this is an ancient battlefield, and it is difficult to investigate when it happened.
Unlike the bones of the beasts that were blown by the wind, there was a green fire in the eye sockets of the few human skeletons here that would never be extinguished.
This is the Demon God Graveyard!
However...... If you count according to human time, it should be 79 years ago, a charred corpse splattered out of a natural oil well in the desert with a black sticky smell. Due to the strange wind blowing here all the time, the ecological environment is very bad, after this corpse landed, within a few minutes, the flesh and soft tissues on the body were all liquefied, leaving a clean white bone.
It was the broom that the skeleton was bare in the desert for the first ten years, at the mercy of the wind and the sand. His broom star halo against the sky also followed.
Although in the previous life, Fang Lei was a student with a large physique, and he usually had a high training intensity in sports, coupled with the occasional special training in the fighting class, Fang Lei's physique was also acceptable in school. However, compared to these ancient powerhouses, Fang Lei's bone density was simply weak.
Ten years of bare is not a long time, and many small holes have appeared on Fang Lei's bones, which may be broken at any time. Until one day when the wind was blowing, a cloak of scarlet color, stained with dark runes and gold rimmed by Fang Lei, blew from nowhere, and was blocked by Fang Lei's bones.
This unknown cloak had many holes in it, and the corners and corners were worn to the point that it looked like it had been gnawed by a rat.
In this way, the cloak was obtained by this unconscious but extremely unfortunate bone.
In the second decade, Fang Lei's cloaked skeleton gradually disappeared from the holes created by long-term weathering, and seemed to be filled with a strange metallic substance.
In the third decade, this human skeleton from the new era has already shown signs of germination.
The sky and the earth continued under this gray smoke, but Fang Lei began to have a slight sense of "existence", although he was lying there, he began to observe unconsciously. Especially at first, his consciousness was like a vegetative state, numb and hollow, but at some point, his mind seemed to turn once in a while.
As time passed, Fang Lei's mind finally began to gradually awaken, and a faint green fire began to appear in his eye sockets. This kind of green fire is something that only exists in this world, just like the vitality of people, the darker the color, the stronger the vitality.
Unlike the skeleton next to him, Fang Lei's body was still a skeleton, but it was alive, even if it was only a little green fire, which made him begin to have a new hope for the future. And the bones of the human powerhouse not far from him, even if there was a thick green fire in the eye sockets, and even the blue, yellow, and purple fires that very few strong people had, it was impossible for them to come back to life because they had been fatally wounded.
Day after day, year after year.
Time flowed through the sand at his fingertips, and 79 years later, a skeleton wrapped in a scarlet cloak finally stood up tremblingly.
"My ...... My name is Fang Lei, and I'm alive."
This was Fang Lei's roar against the dim desert after standing up with difficultyβa roar that was so insignificant in the battlefield of the War of the End.
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Fang Lei to finish roaring, the soles of his feet loosened, and the skeleton collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, it looks like I've been lying down for too long...... Again, not so ...... Not too unaccustomed to standing. Fang Lei said self-deprecatingly. Fortunately, the language degradation is not too serious.
Due to the perennial lying position, coupled with the fact that it is in a skeletal state, there is no flesh pad on the foot bones, and it can only rely on a few toes and heels as support, and the sense of balance is much worse than that of normal humans, and this kind of fall is also considered normal.
Quickly becoming familiar with his own body, with less flesh and blood, Fang Lei clearly felt that the skeleton was much lighter than a human of the same height.
At this time, Fang Lei had already adapted to the baptism of the wind. The weather was not bad, there was no wind and sand, and he wrapped his tattered cloak and walked forward step by step.
"It has to go in one direction. Otherwise, I'll be stuck here sooner or later. β
He had time, and he had been thinking about leaving this damn place all these years.
According to his logic, no matter how round the sky is, no matter how square the earth is, the sea has its other side, and time has a length, no matter how big this place is, there will be an end.
Especially, from the moment you stand up, so that the idea grows stronger.
At this time, a cold, unquestionable tone came: "Young man, you are really innocent, in this boundless place of death, it seems that there is no danger, but in fact, there is a danger lurking, demon gods, demon clans, human powerhouses, and some spiritual weapons are broken, and there is only one way to die when you encounter them." Yes, and the Zerg ......"
"Who's it? Who's talking to me. β
Suddenly hearing a voice other than himself, the green fire in Fang Lei's eye socket jumped violently, and he dodged to the side in horror, which was his instinctive reaction when he practiced fighting skills in his previous life.
But when you lift up your eyes, where is there any living creature around?
In addition to bones and bones, there is only an endless sea of bones, standing in this dark and gloomy realm.
"It's normal to think it's weird. β
After a pause, the voice continued, "We've been together for so long, so we should get to know each other. I am your mantle...... What's so strange about the fact that a lowly white bone like you can live, and my cloak can speak?Besides, without my help, you can't leave here, take me with you, I've wanted to leave here for a long time!" the voice sounded again, and there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
This time Fang Lei heard it clearly, not "hearing" to be precise, but sensing that the voice came from the soul connection.
Since it was the cloak that was talking, Fang Lei naturally would not be afraid. He understood a truth from the other party's words - they complement each other.
"Mantle...... Uh, can you call it that? So how do you say to get out of this land? β
After adjusting his mentality slightly, Fang Lei communicated with the other party.
After decades of companionship, you don't need to make much effort, and the other party will immediately understand what you think. His greatest concern was to escape from the battlefield of the Old Gods.
The cloak was very patient and replied unhurriedly, "Your Excellency doesn't need to call me an adult, my body is a treasure in ancient times, and my spirit has become an immortal, and I am a unique immortal master." Later, I followed the ancient war emperor and crusaded against the demons with billionaires, and this is the battlefield - they fell here, and because I practiced the Nine Deaths Immortal Divine Skill, a trace of spirit was able to survive. You can call me a king. β
"Jun Di, what a domineering name. β
Fang Lei thought secretly, but felt the cloak suck in violently, and wrapped himself firmly.
Jun Yan's tone also became urgent, "Danger, danger is coming! Hurry up and enter the bone tower and find a place to hide, they- the insect storm is coming! I almost forgot, now it's the season to harvest the bone fire, it's time for the Zerg to act." O sorrow of my people!"
"O sorrow of my people!"
This tone actually made Fang Lei feel sour for some reason. But he didn't have time to think about it, because the ground began to shake slightly, and the tiny sands began to roll on each other, so that a layer of gray fog began to rise to a foot above the ground, indicating that an unknown danger was imminent.
Without saying a word, according to Jun Yan's guidance, Fang Lei got into the mouth of a giant beast's skeleton nearby.
The space is large enough, about the same as a classroom, and it is not difficult to find a suitable place to hide.
"Okay, Senior Jun Yan, what are the harvesting bone fires and insect storms you just mentioned?" Fang Lei picked up a fairly sharp beast tooth on the ground between words and held it firmly in his hand.
