Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2089: The Past of a Broken Generation

Under the intimidation of Talida's aura, Lucy revealed a lot of secrets to Lin Jiu and others in order to prove that she was not useless. These secrets had nothing to do with the current situation, but were related to the past of Yimi Continent.

There is a serious gap in the past of Yimi Continent. If it is divided, it is after the first elemental catastrophe, which includes the present and is not much different from the present. The previous period is before the first elemental catastrophe, and the previous period is the Age of Gods.

The Age of Gods begins with the creation god Caius who appeared in the world introduction. After Caius created the Imi continent, he disappeared. In order to maintain the balance of the Imi continent, gods appeared in this world.

That was about all the information Lin Jiu had read from the world introduction, but from Lucy, he learned more details. Under the balance of the gods, the Yimi Continent entered a period of rapid development.

As human beings become increasingly powerful, when food and clothing are no longer a survival issue, life becomes the only issue that restricts human development. Although natural magic has endowed humans with infinite power, it cannot obtain eternal life.

Therefore, many magicians wanted to use human alchemy to fuse humans with the essence of other life in an attempt to prolong life. However, the result was completely different from what the alchemists had imagined. These people were reshaped into new species with different shapes, collectively known as sub-humans.

Demihumans were regarded as freaks by humans and were eventually exiled and forced to leave human society. During their exile, they had differences in their attitude towards humans. Due to the fusion of the essence of different species, demihumans have different personalities. Some are as aggressive as carnivores, while others are as gentle and docile as herbivores.

The former hated humans and could not forget the injustice they had suffered in human society, and they longed to take revenge on humans one day; the latter advocated peace. In the end, the war faction and the peace faction parted ways.

The war faction came to the uninhabited wilderness, which is now the Taro Desert, and began to survive hard, forming a tribe of orcs. They multiplied from generation to generation, growing stronger day by day, and never forgot their ancestral precepts of revenge against humans, waiting for the day to launch a war against humans.
The Lord and the Paia people migrated to the faraway Dusk Jungle and settled there. Their gentle and kind nature soon made them allies with the animals and even elemental creatures in the Dusk Jungle, and together they formed the Cang Yue Council, which is now the Cang Yue Alliance.

Mello was shocked to learn from Lucy that the origin of their Cangyue Alliance was actually humans, and that they were actually the same kind as the Oro tribe.

Of course, the following news is even more explosive. Although alchemy failed, some magicians were not resigned to the fact that they turned their attention to the world after death. Since life cannot be prolonged, can we continue to exist in another form after death? In the end, these magicians created a forbidden spell that can bring the dead back to life: necromancy.

The undead creatures resurrected by necromancy are no longer bound by life and death. They possess nearly immortal life and have developed a collective will similar to that of a bee colony. Most low-level undead have no individual will and are driven like zombies. Only a small number of high-level undead have self-awareness and lead the entire colony like a queen bee.

The undead excavated a huge and continuous tomb complex underground. They usually stayed in the tombs and did not come into contact with other races. Whenever a war broke out between other races, they would appear on the battlefield like scavengers, collecting piles of corpses and the souls of the dead on the battlefield and transforming them into their own kind. Over thousands of years, they grew stronger and stronger, and formed a force that could compete with other races.

This is fucking outrageous. In today's Yimi continent, apart from the invading demon creatures, there are four major forces: orcs, Cangyue Alliance, undead, and humans. The first three of them were actually born because of humans.

At the same time, Lin Jiu also knew why the alchemy mentioned in the world introduction had never been found. This thing might have been turned into a forbidden technique by humans of that period, and only existed in a few records, making it difficult to access.

In the Age of Gods, after the God of Creation Caius disappeared, there were two most powerful gods among the gods, one was the God of Life Lina, and the other was the God of Death Roy. Because Caius disappeared for too long, many creatures on the Imi Continent later regarded Lina as the legendary God of Creation.

That's right, this God of Death, Roy, is also the current Lord of Demons. Roy was the first to come into contact with the place where the energy of the abyss invaded the Abyss of Annihilation, and the gods called it the Well of Annihilation.

This is not surprising. In many worlds invaded by the Abyss, the ultimate boss is a powerful person that already exists in that world. The God of Death Roy was not only assimilated by the energy of the Abyss, but also created a race of demon creatures and became the Lord of Demons.

Lina gathered the power of the gods and destroyed most of the demons, and sealed the demon lord Roy and the remaining demons in the Oblivion Abyss. After that, even the gods who survived disappeared, and it was said that they were guarding the Oblivion Abyss. At this point, the Age of Gods came to an end.

Although the gods won, they were unable to kill all the demons. They only sealed them in the Abyss of Annihilation, laying the hidden danger of future outbreaks.

Thousands of years have passed since the great war between gods and demons ended. As the four tribes continue to develop, they are facing various internal and external troubles. However, they gradually forget the horror of demons, while demons are constantly accumulating strength, preparing to break through the suppression of the annihilation abyss.

The result has already happened, that is, the first elemental catastrophe. The demons are accumulating power. What power are they accumulating? Naturally, it is the secondary derivative energy of the abyss. The huge dark demon power accumulated in the Annihilation Abyss quietly eroded the mountains and elements of this world, causing the elements to become unbalanced and triggering the elemental catastrophe.

In fact, the Elemental Cataclysm was the real disaster that threatened the entire world. The great war between gods and demons at the end of the Age of Gods was merely a struggle of power between the two sides. Even though it left the entire continent in ruins, it did not threaten the essence.

As the secondary energy of the abyss continues to accumulate, the elemental forces of this world begin to become unbalanced, which will trigger a disaster that will destroy the world. The two disasters are essentially different.

The follow-up is that the elementalist that Lin Jiu already knew appears and sets up a new magic circle to restore the balance of the elements. This can be seen as a self-help behavior of the elements themselves, selecting the most suitable agent to maintain the balance of the elements.

Lin Jiu did not gain nothing after learning the news. At least he knew the origin of the ultimate boss of the demon side and the meaning of the elementalist's existence.

The consequence of the imbalance of elements is that the world will be constantly polluted by the secondary energy of the abyss, and the elementalists can purify these pollutants with the power of natural elements. Therefore, when the elementalists exist in the Yimi Continent, they can barely maintain the balance of elements and suppress elemental catastrophes.

Lin Jiu also deduced a piece of information from this, that is, in the war decades ago, there must have been an elementalist hiding and purifying the energy erosion in secret. Otherwise, even if the demonic creatures were repelled openly, it would be impossible to suppress the elemental catastrophe.
