Against the Gods

Abyss Emperor, if Yun Che had heard this title before, he would not have cared at all. There are countless star realms, races, and countries of all sizes in the world, and naturally there are countless emperors and kings, but they are all below him, Yun Emperor.

But now, these two short words carry an incomparable pressure.

"In the legend of the Abyss, the air of the Pure Land is not polluted at all, and it is so pure that it can almost purify the soul; all kinds of flowers and plants grow everywhere in the Pure Land, with thousands of shapes and colors; the sky of the Pure Land is a light blue, and the shape of every cloud can be seen clearly..."

Yun Che: "..."

Chi Wuyao's voice became slow: "The Pure Land is the most sacred in the world for the creatures of the Abyss. It is the supreme holy land that they can only look up to and yearn for throughout their lives, but never dare to hope for."

"But, the holy land they look up to is just an ordinary piece of heaven and earth in our world."

The word "Abyss" has now become the most terrible nightmare in the eyes of all the spirits in the God Realm. But no one knows that the most ordinary and common things they have in their lives are the greatest extravagances of the creatures in the Abyss.

"Eternal Pure Land"... These are the five words that Mo Beichen murmured in agony before his death, but they are five words that people in this world will never truly understand.

"What kind of person is the Abyss Emperor?" Yun Che asked.

Such a terrifying Mo Beichen was just a servant who had a devout faith in him.

Chi Wuyao's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and the magic light in his pupils became a few points darker: "He is the master of the Abyss, the god above the gods of the Abyss. He is the founder of the world of life in the Abyss. His existence runs through the entire history of the Abyss."

"Runs through the entire history of the Abyss?" Yun Che was very surprised: "In other words, the Abyss Emperor has existed since the beginning of the Abyss?"

"That's right." Chi Wuyao nodded slightly: "The starting point of the Abyss World is that the Abyss Emperor used his powerful power and [a special mysterious weapon] to open up the first place of life in the Abyss, and gathered the people who were also in the Abyss. "The 'survivors' of the Abyss."

"Later, with the collapse of the Abyss's laws and the rapid influx of chaotic aura, the aura of destruction in some areas of the Abyss became increasingly thinner, and the living land built by the Abyss Emperor became larger and larger, with more and more survivors."

"Until it began to become relatively stable, multiply, and pass on over a long period of time... In the end, the Abyss of today was established."

Yun Che murmured: "Those survivors..."

"That's right." Chi Wuyao said: "The first survivors of the Abyss were the gods and demons who fell into the Abyss for various reasons in the distant past!"

"It's just that, The environment of the Abyss at that time was much more cruel than it is now, and the true gods and demons could only survive for a short time. Later, the living area gradually expanded, and the breath of destruction became thinner and thinner, but no true gods or demons fell into it... because the fierce battle between gods and demons had ended at that time, and there were no true gods in the world. "Now, the true gods in the Abyss are all the original creatures born in the Abyss. The true gods and demons who created the world of the Abyss have long perished..." "Except the Abyss Emperor!" Yun Che asked in a deep voice: "As the close attendant of the Abyss Emperor, Mo Beichen should have the most profound understanding of the Abyss Emperor, right? ”

Chi Wuyao shook his head: “The Abyss Emperor has no name, or rather, no one has ever known his name.”

Yun Che: “…?”

“In the cognition of all the creatures in the Abyss, and in the records of the Abyss no matter how ancient it is, the Abyss Emperor is always the ‘Abyss Emperor’, and has no other name.”

“Not to mention the Abyss Knights, even the four Pure Land priests closest to him never knew what the Abyss Emperor’s real name was, and no one ever dared to ask.”

“It seems that it is a great taboo for the Abyss Emperor.”

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter.” Yun Che said. Indeed, the name of the Abyss Emperor is not important at all, but what is certain is that his identity must be a true god of the ancient gods.

Chi Wuyao said slowly: "All the gods and demons who fell into the abyss were extinct, but the Abyss Emperor, as the earliest founder of the Abyss World, has survived to this day. There is no doubt that his strength is far above that of ordinary gods and demons. So his status in the God Clan must have been quite high back then."

"Later, I will look through the ancient records of those high-ranking gods who fell into the abyss. There should be very few high-ranking gods who were punished by the abyss, so it may not be difficult to find clues."

Yun Che suddenly thought of the most critical question: "How long has it been since the Abyss Emperor created the Abyss World?"

This time is the length of the history of the Abyss. The chronicles of the Abyss World should have clear records.

"Three million years." Chi Wuyao gave the answer.

"!?" This time was completely beyond Yun Che's expectations.

Because three million years ago, the war between gods and demons had not even begun!

As expected, as the Ancestral God predicted, the collapse of the laws of the Abyss had already begun... and the impact of the war between gods and demons greatly accelerated the changes in the Abyss.

It was… similar to the time when Jie Yuan was ambushed by Mo’e and blasted out of the Primal Chaos.

Jie Yuan and her demon gods were able to survive in the Primal Chaos for so long because of the independent space created by the Qiankun Thorn in the Primal Chaos.

Even so, a powerful person like Jie Yuan was wounded like a demon. The demon gods under her command were extremely dying, and those who survived not only had their demon souls twisted, but also had very little life left.

And Yuan Huang was able to survive in the abyss where the aura of destruction was extremely strong back then until today…

"However," Chi Wuyao pondered: "This time can only be used as a reference. Because it may not be completely consistent with the three million years we know?"

"Why?"

"Because there is a strange phenomenon called [Black Tide of Time] in the abyss."

"The dark tide of time?" This was the first time Yun Che heard these four words.

If it was a "black tide in space", he might be able to come up with some ideas. But when it comes to time... that is an area that Yun Che has never touched.

Chi Wuyao explained: "The flow of time has been smooth and even throughout the ages and will not be interfered by any external force. This should also be one of the basic laws given to the world by the Ancestral God when he created the world."

"However, perhaps because it is separated from the laws given by the ancestor god, the rotation of the time wheel of the abyss is not smooth. Sometimes it becomes fast and sometimes it becomes slow, just like the ebb and flow of the tide."

"To put it simply, the flow of time in the abyss will cycle between too fast and too slow."

Yun Che thought for a moment and said: "If this is the case, the three million years of the abyss and the three hundred years of our world should not be exactly the same. But since they are cyclical, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, in general, the difference It’s not too big either.”

"In addition, no matter how fast or slow the flow of time is, the creatures in it will not directly perceive it. Therefore, this does not count..."

"You want to say that this doesn't seem worth caring about, right?" Chi Wuyao said.

Yun Che did not nod, but frowned, waiting for her to continue.

He has entered the Eternal Sky Pearl twice. The flow of time inside is much slower than that in the outside world, but while inside, he will not experience any abnormal spiritual perception.

"On the contrary." Chi Wuyao said: "Thinking back to the war between gods and demons in ancient times, the whole world was drastically changed, and the space was destroyed countless times, but the movement of the time wheel did not deviate at all."

"Because of time, one of the most fundamental world orders."

"If I didn't have a Nirvana Demonic Soul, I should have the same understanding as you about the 'Black Tide of Time' in the abyss. However, the four words 'Black Tide of Time' caused my Nirvana Demonic Tide to arise. "Because if the time wheel of a world begins to become chaotic, it means... that the entire order is about to collapse."

Yun Che: "..."

"Moreover, the black tide of time in the abyss is becoming more and more serious. At first, the black tide of time circulated once every few thousand years, and the degree of slowdown and acceleration was also very small. After that, the circulation cycle was shortened every time,' The magnitude of the ebb and flow is also increasing.”

"The last cycle of the Black Tide of Time was only a short period of a hundred years, and the amplitude of its fluctuations was ten times astonishing."

"...I see." Yun Che said in a low voice: "The ever-increasing black tide of time made Emperor Yuan realize that the order of the Abyss World was on the verge of collapse, so he was trying to find a way to return to this world at all costs."

Chi Wuyao continued: "But as you said, no matter how abnormal the flow of time is, the creatures in it will not feel it. Therefore, very few people know the concept of 'black tide of time', even if they know the 'black tide of time' ’ exists, and few people are truly aware of the disaster behind it.”

After a long silence, Yun Che said: "What else?"

Chi Wuyao said: "Most of what I got from Mo Beichen is some basic knowledge of the abyss world. There is no other information about the Abyss Emperor."

"As for Mo Beichen, you might as well listen to his story." Chi Wuyao slowed down: "His story itself is not important, but his life is the epitome of many abyss creatures."

Without waiting for Yun Che's response, Chi Wuyao narrated: "Mo Beichen was born into a middle-class family in a godless country. His father is an elder figure in his family. Although his background is far superior to ordinary creatures, because of his godless There is no divine protection in the country. He was born in the thin abyss of dust and grew up under the careful protection of the elders."

"The cruel environment created cruel laws of survival. He showed extremely high talent since childhood, which allowed him to get the best resources and the best protection. However, his brothers and sisters... were abandoned one by one and died in infancy. "In the abyss of dust."

"When he was a hundred years old, only less than 30% of his clansmen of his generation were left."

"Later, he grew up enough to resist the erosion of Abyss Chen with his own strength, and with the hope of the whole family, he set the lofty goal of becoming an Abyss Knight in the Pure Land."

"In order to temper himself, he went to the sandy abyss and entered the sea of ​​fog. When he was strong enough, he said goodbye to his family, his wife and two daughters, and followed an abyss knight who recommended him to the Pure Land."

Ranwen

"The trials and assessments to become an Abyss Knight are quite cruel. He finally persisted in the five-year trial and became an official Abyss Knight."

"But when he returned to his hometown in honor, his family had mistakenly believed the rumor that he had died in the Pure Land trial three years ago, and thus gave up protecting his wife and children."

"Her wife's cultivation level is only at the level of God King, and she can barely protect herself. She can't protect her two daughters at all. Both daughters are in their early twenties, and their cultivation level is even weaker. Three years after they were separated from the shelter, they were in Yuan Chen Due to the erosion, he became seriously ill and his life withered, and both died half a month before his return. "

"After burying their two daughters, his wife was so disheartened that she committed suicide."

"Mo Beichen returned with a heart full of joy and supreme glory, but what he got was a nightmare-like tragedy. He didn't even have time to tell his wife and daughter that he had become a noble Abyss Knight."

"Heh," Yun Che sneered, "That's really pitiful and sad."

"A person who has the ability to become an Abyss Knight, his life is still accompanied by such misery. It is conceivable what kind of purgatory the living creatures in the Abyss are struggling in... Or perhaps, they have become accustomed to it."

"This time, Mo Beichen took the initiative to become a pioneer in his attempt to set foot in the world, and he also held the intention of dying."

"Because most of the previous 'pioneers' perished in failure, and the few survivors were also thrown back into the abyss."
