Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 388 The Tomb of Xiuwa
Nausicaa's voice attracted the attention of the other three present.

Qiao Mu looked at the girl who seemed worried since he appeared, with a look of interest on her face.

Kiel and Yuba frowned, but they didn't stop Nausicaa from continuing to speak.

"I want to know, what is the fate of the sea and the bugs you mentioned earlier?" Nausicaa asked, "What secrets are there that we don't know?"

The secret of the Rotten Sea...

The question Nausicaa posed made Kiel and Yuba feel dissatisfied, their complexions changed, and they looked at Qiao Mu expectantly.

It is precisely because it is regarded as the greatest enemy of mankind that everyone wants to know its secrets.

It's not just them, everyone in this world is probably very interested in the source of the Rot Sea and the secrets hidden in it.

"Ten thousand space-time coins." Qiao Mu said.

Nausicaa nodded.

Keel opened his mouth, then closed it dejectedly.

He knew that it was useless for him to block, not to mention using [-] space-time coins to obtain the secret of the Rot Sea, it seemed that it was not a loss.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win, and if you get the deepest secret of the sea of ​​corruption, you can solve this trouble from the root.

Kiel held this idea in his heart, and Uba's idea was basically the same as his.

Ten thousand space-time coins were deducted, and there were less than [-] space-time coins left on the black card in Nausicaa's hand.

She didn't feel distressed at all, but felt her heart beating faster, and her heart was filled with complex expressions of expectation and worry.

"What do you think the Giant God Soldiers are?" Qiao Mu didn't immediately tell them the source of the Rot Sea, but asked rhetorically.

After Qiao Mu raised this question, Kiel replied: "It is a very powerful man-made war machine, the chief culprit of the 'Seven Days of Fire', the demon that dragged us from prosperity to the abyss!"

Keir's answer represents the thoughts of most people in this world, but...

"However, in the final analysis, it is also the original sin of our human greed that created this evil machine." Kiel sighed, with a slightly dejected expression on his face.

"It's a wonderful speech, but...it's outrageously wrong." The corner of Qiao Mu's mouth was mocking.

Kiel stared at him with wide eyes, Yuba also looked suspicious, but Nausicaa was thoughtful.

"Since you know that the Giant God Soldier was researched by humans, why do you define it as a 'demon'?" Qiao Mu asked.

Kiel frowned and said, "It has plunged the world into endless chaos, isn't it a demon?"

"If you have to talk about demons, it's just human beings," Qiao Mu said, shaking his head, "Giant soldiers obey human beings, and there is no absolute good or evil."

"What's more... there are two possibilities for its existence?"

"What?" Nausicaa asked.

"One is to exist as a mediator to resolve the disputes among human beings. Unfortunately, this kind of disputes can no longer be adjusted. In order to carry out the orders of the Giant God Soldiers, it led to the tragedy of 'Seven Days of Fire'," Qiao Mu said lightly. Said, "As for the second possibility..."

"Their existence is to destroy human beings as 'death gods', and to find a new life in the destruction."

Qiao Mu's words made the three of them look unbelievable.

"I think the second possibility is more likely," Qiao Mu said disapprovingly, "You must know that in the era when it was created, human beings were driven by desires, and everywhere was full of gunpowder and crime, and the conflicts within the human race had reached an irreconcilable level. , anyone in this society can only feel deep despair, so someone let it bury this despair in the endless abyss as the god of death, and then let human beings be reborn in death!"

Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Qiao Mu continued: "And you, some transitional existences before this new life, will eventually be destroyed together with the sea of ​​decay and the worms!"

There was undisguised pity in his tone, but his eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.

In the movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", the true origin of the Sea of ​​Corruption is not actually told, and the description of Nausicaa and others is even more superficial.

In the comics, just now there is the origin of the whole world, and it is also Nausicaa's final choice.

So Qiao Mu was very curious about what kind of choice Nausicaa had in mind before experiencing so many things.

But to Qiao Mu's surprise, the three of them didn't appear to be terrified when faced with what he said, but rather...incomprehensible.

"What does Mr. Qiao mean?" Nausicaa asked with a frown.

Qiao Mu cast his eyes on Kiel and Yuba, and saw that they were also puzzled.

His eyes flashed, and he suddenly came over.

"Do you know the land ghost kingdoms?" Qiao Mu asked.

Nausicaa glanced at Yuba and said, "I heard from Teacher Yuba that it is located in the south and is an empire as powerful as the Dorumegia Kingdom."

"What else?" Qiao Mu asked.

"The kingdom of earth ghosts consists of many tribes, and the patriarch of each tribe is held by a monk...the capital is in the holy capital of Xiuwa." Nausicaa said while thinking, "Oh, by the way, its supreme ruler The person who is called the Holy Emperor is said to have unimaginable abilities."

Qiao Mu smiled and shook his head, looked at Yuba, and asked, "You must have heard of Xiu Wa's Tomb, right?"

"The Tomb of Xiuwa!" Yuba repeated these four words, but his face became serious.

He nodded and said: "That is the forbidden land of the earth ghost princes, anyone who dares to approach will be killed!"

"Why?" Qiao Mu asked.

Yuba was stunned, frowned slightly, and said: "It was like this a long time ago. I heard that there is something unknown in it, but not many people know about the tomb of Xiuwa. I heard about it occasionally."

Qiao Mu shook his head lightly: "It's not that simple."

He stretched out his hand, and a can of beer flew from the wine rack. Qiao Mu opened the can, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "The tomb of Xiuwa is the source of all this."

"Xiwa's Tomb?" Nausicaa asked in confusion.

"...After the 'Seven Days of Fire', the entire human world has been turned into ruins. The most terrible thing is that the soil and rivers polluted by the human industrial society and the giant god soldiers wantonly destroyed are already full of toxins and turned into ruins. Became the Jedi of humanity..."

"Under such circumstances, the surviving humans opened up the Tomb of Xiuwa. The sea of ​​rot and bugs are parts made by the Tomb of Xiuwa with biotechnology to purify the world. They will absorb the toxins in the soil and water, and over time The precipitation of these fungi will turn into pure sand..."

"You are just a group of lucky and unfortunate transitioners, carrying a little hope for the continuation of the civilized system. The miasma in the sea of ​​corruption makes it impossible for you to survive in this world, and the pure world after being purified by the sea of ​​corruption..."

Qiao Mu paused, and said: "Unfortunately, that is not your paradise... Due to various factors, you have already merged with this twilight world to some extent, so in that pure world without miasma, You can't survive either!"

After saying these words, Qiao Mu drank the last bit of beer in the can and looked at the three of them with a smile.
