Chapter 484: The Gathering Place, the Last Hope
On the thick and desolate earth, hills can be seen everywhere, but there are no high mountains, no majestic and handsome mountains, the earth is scorched yellow, without a trace of life, fierce, full of killing aura spreading, devouring all vitality.
This is a very strange place, it seems to have come to the end of heaven and earth, the sky is cloudless, and it is unusually deep!
The space was windless, surprisingly quiet, and every monk could hear their own blood beating.
Constantly deepening, there are countless streamers flying rapidly, but the leap here is not a real flight in the sky, but a rapid rush on the earth.
Tatsuno knew that this was a monk who knew the news from all directions, and each of them was fierce and intuitive.
On the other hand, on his side, the embroidered girl always led the way in front of the head, and she couldn't see the slightest expression, but the Demon King always followed behind, and seemed to deliberately keep a certain distance from everyone.
There were many monks along the way to check and visit, but they were afraid of the power of the embroidered girl and the weirdness of the demon king, and no one made a provocation, and even avoided it from afar, not wanting to have too much communication with this pair.
Tatsuno shouldn't be with the Demon King no matter what position he stands, and it can't be with the embroidered girl.
But it's such an impossibility, but it brings together several unrelated beings.
As for the appearance of the gods, or each has its own calculations, it will not be revealed in a short time.
A short distance along, the sky is even more profound, and there are no hills or hills to be seen along the way, but endless scorched black plains.
However, there are many strange villages, boulders piled up, or directly smashed open the ground to build habitable houses in the earth.
The crowd looked at Long Ye and his party indifferently, but no one asked or stopped them.
The yellow hair hangs down, and the village women are in the prime of life, busy one by one, or looking at the sky sluggishly.
Occasionally, children crying, women scolding, and old men drinking, but the monks did not come unexpectedly.
These human beings did not have the slightest trace of cultivation.
Around the village were pairs of human monks, all from the Heavenly Continent, who were either pranayama meditating or asking the native natives for some news.
The embroidered girl was unmoved, and directly found a flat place to sit cross-legged.
One was still sitting five paces away.
The Demon King looked around casually, and there was no expression on his cold face, after all, it was all covered by black scale armor, only a pair of scarlet eyes were opening and closing, and more often than not, there was no closure at all.
Tatsuno is simply a person who can't sit still, looking east, west, and moving around.
The village is not large, but there are thousands of people gathered here, all of them, but without exception, these natives are yellow and thin, and seem to be malnourished for a long time.
In the middle of the village, a three-foot-high diamond-shaped altar was simply erected, with six sides, all made of boulders, and Tatsuno did not go up, so as not to cause misunderstanding, but just stared at the runes on the altar under the stage.
But I couldn't see any clue, but there were countless crystal white, or golden bones, which made Long Yuan's heart palpitate, because although these bones were broken, they must be extremely powerful in front of each body, even if it was a simple piece of white bone, but it showed endless edge.
"The young man came and sat down. Long Ye's spirit was strong, but he was also taken aback, turned around, and saw a rickety old man with a cigarette stick under the altar opposite, this old man made Long Ye unable to see through.
Because Long Ye didn't expect that there would be an old man sitting here, and he didn't have any breath at all, so he couldn't perceive it.
"Did the seniors call me?"
The old man took a sip, and a faint smoke ring floated up and slowly dissipated.
"Are there anyone else here?"
The old man looked at him strangely.
"Oh. Tatsuno sat cross-legged across from the old man.
But the old man spoke again, smoking the cigarette in his hand one by one, Long Ye couldn't feel the slightest breath of the old man, even so, it was the same, which made Long Ye a little inexplicably frightened.
After smoking a bag of cigarettes, the old man closed his eyes as if enjoying the last warmth.
The cloudy eyes opened and looked at Long Ye, which made Long Ye feel a sense of horror.
"Do you know why they're all gathered here now?"
Finally spoke, and the general delivery breathed a sigh of relief, "Bone Dao Tianguan!"
Tatsuno replied simply.
"Hehe, Tianguan is still a god pass, or a dead end, who can tell, for countless years, no one has reached the end of Tianguan, everything is a secret, who can speculate. β
The old man said something inexplicably.
Tatsuno frowned.
Glancing at Long Ye, the old man spoke again, "These are the natives of this world, this is the last life, the last chance, everyone has given up their original clan land, and all gathered here, hoping to see the last glimmer of hope." β
"What the predecessors said, the ransom boy is ignorant..."
"Listen to me slowly, and you'll know. The old man inserted the black-brown cigarette stick in his hand into his waist and looked up at the endless sky, with an inexplicable sadness on his face.
"This realm is a larger cage, you can enter, but we are forever trapped in it, countless years of wear and tear, now the creatures of this realm have long been cut off from blood, reduced to mortals, but many powerful hidden creatures are afraid of the laws of the great realm, dare not be born, can only seal themselves, waiting for the last hope, but slim, even despair.
Every 10,000 years, the Great Realm opens, and the Bone Dao Heavenly Valley will also open with it, but for several epochs, neither the natives in the Great Realm nor the foreign powerhouses have been able to successfully reach the top.
This time the opening of the Great Realm actually means the last hope, the last chance, if there is still no one to reach the top, this realm will be completely wiped out, and all living beings will be annihilated. β
Long Ye somewhat understood, "What the predecessor means is that the so-called Bone Dao Heavenly Pass is actually the passage to the outside world in this realm?"
"Yes or no?"
"Why is that?"
"The events of the past have been submerged in the dust, and all the remaining creatures are thought to have erased part of their memories, and the only memory that exists is to wait and guard the creatures that finally ascend to the heavenly pass, so that we have a glimmer of life, but with the passage of time, we have no hope anymore. β
"In that case, why do the creatures in your great realm attack the foreign monks from time to time?" Since the foreign monks are the hope for the creatures of this realm to get out of their cages, then they should be replaced.
"This is not simple, many of the creatures in the great realm have long been like beasts without thinking, the instinct is only to fight, and there are also powerful creatures who want to transfer their souls to the souls of foreign monks, so that they can leave this realm, or rely on the physical bodies of foreign monks to reach the top, because the monks of our world are only guarding the bone path, and cannot step into the bone path, but for countless years, none of them have succeeded, and now they are all desperate. β
Long Ambition was shocked, what had happened to this realm? How powerful the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm were in the past, why had they come to this point? And was this Great Realm a fragment of the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realmγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?
A series of questions made Tatsuno have no clue at all, and the secrets sealed in the long river of history were not yet accessible to Tatsuno.
"I'm going to be the last one. The old man sighed.
"Sacrifice spirits?"
"This world has hundreds of millions of living beings at the beginning, and now it is less than a million, and the sacrificial spirit is the living soul produced by the sacrifice of all living beings, each sacrificial spirit has a long lifespan, but it will also die, but the sacrificial power after the death will continue to the next sacrificial spirit, and so on, and I am the last, because there are not too many living beings in this world, when the living beings lose hope and become desperate, there will be no sacrificial power, once I die, it will really disappear, and the bone path will not be opened, and the consequence is that this world will be completely annihilated, including all living beingsγ β
Long Ye suddenly felt a kind of sadness and helplessness, in front of the heavenly dao that was high up and could dominate all living beings, everything seemed very pale.
"In other words, the bone path is also the last time it appeared?"
"Of course, but this is not the real divine pass between heaven and earth, but the later power, that is, the monk who created this realm simulated the real divine pass. The real gods are locked up in the depths of the universe, and even when the fairy realm and the god realm were strong, they still appeared occasionally. β
Long Ye knew a little bit, if the real Divine Pass appeared again, the big worlds that still existed in the other realms of the Heavenly Realm would inevitably compete strongly.
For countless epochs, this great world has been floating all over the universe like a rootless wanderer, appearing in the Heavenly Realm, appearing in the rest of the worlds, and now even in the Heavenly Continent.
It's just that I don't know what the purpose or arrangement of the power was back then, but no matter what the purpose, disregarding the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings always makes people full of helpless hatred, and being able to silently control the life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings is not something that ordinary beings can do?
Everything can only be helpless, even if there is hatred, it can only be buried deep in the heart.
"Then all the creatures in this realm should know about this now, right?"
"I know, but I don't have much hope, and a thousand disappointments have numbed people. The old man sighed for a while, and was very helpless in silence.
"This altar is the sacrificial talisman array that opens the god pass. β
"Not bad. The old man nodded.
"The existence of your sacrificial spirits is to open the altar and open the divine pass?"
"There is also the protection of all living beings, this world is more complicated than you can see, among them there are many powerful dragon clans, descendants of the Feng clan, and there are many extremely powerful demonic beasts, desolate beasts. It's just that now they are silently waiting for death, and they have no power to return to heaven. β
The two fell silent again, the cold altar showing the continuation of history and the decline of this realm.
