Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 600 Church History

After pushing open the door, Zhao Yi left the torture tower.

Back in the town, the evil ghosts around him had disappeared with the disappearance of the light power at the top of the torture tower.

"Brother Zhao, I really saw you right."

Not far away, an old man walked over.

It was Jiang Muming.

After getting out of trouble, the old man's strength gradually recovered.

He looks much better.

"Senior Jiang, do you know much about the history of the Skull Church?"

When Zhao Yi asked him about the Skull Church, Jiang Muming did not hide it. To the imperial capital, the Skull Church was as notorious as a rat crossing the street.

Even though they were powerful, they were still blocked from the imperial capital by every possible means by the Fifth Federation.

“The Church of the Skull dates back tens of thousands of years.”

"They were born earlier than the Imperial Capital."

"There was no imperial capital at that time, let alone the so-called Fifth Federation."

"Human civilization is facing various tests. The earth is dark, and there are terrifying existences left over from ancient times everywhere. They regard humans as despicable food and toys, without any humanity at all..."

"For humans, it was the darkest era in the chaotic world..."

When Jiang Muming mentioned that time, his tone became much heavier. It was obvious that the old man had a strong sense of belonging.

"But at that time, human civil strife was far less serious than it is now."

"Countless strong men spilled their blood in the sky and died outside the fragile city walls. Groups of veterans flew out like moths."

"In order to defend the few human positions back then, countless people died..."

"Before the high and thick city walls of the imperial capital were built, women rarely lived past the age of fifty. Their whole life was like a fertility machine, constantly providing fresh blood to the group."

"As for healthy men, they usually leave their mothers and families after their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, and go to the army for intensive training. They will go into battle after one year and three months!"

"And at that time, in addition to weirdness, there were cults everywhere."

"The weirdos are not satisfied with the status quo. They recruit many crazy people who have lost their minds and transform them into their followers."

"The Church of the Skull is the leader among cults."

The old man's eyes fell on the torture tower, and he was very complicated.

"But everything has its pros and cons."

"The number of cults later increased. In order to compete for power, those evil spirits started fighting among themselves, giving the endangered human federation a rare chance to breathe!"

"In the end, the evil spirits were severely weakened, while humans secretly accumulated strength within a few hundred years. Finally, seventeen strong men stood up and led the human federation to fight back!"

"After experiencing a long and tragic war, mankind finally drove away the severely damaged Guai from their own land and established their first city - the Imperial Capital."

"And most of the seventeen strong men were killed in the battle."

"Because of their outstanding military achievements, their descendants have a high status in human society, and they gradually developed into subsequent families..."

"After a long time, the people in the imperial capital forgot the tragedies of their ancestors, began to indulge in extravagance, and began to fight among themselves for power..."

"It was also during this process that the Skull Church, which was originally on the verge of death, actually revived and developed..."

Having said this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the old man's face.

"History is always surprisingly similar... isn't it?"

Zhao Yi touched his chin and said with a smile:

"Yes."

"Not just humans, this is true of almost all intelligent fourth domain creatures."

"The only lesson they can learn from history is that they never learn it."

“That’s why the people of the church say…what has been, will be again; what has been done, will be done again.”

Jiang Muming let out a long sigh.

He felt helpless and powerless from the bottom of his heart.

Since the Imperial Capital has experienced a long period of peace, one generation has really become worse than the other. Old guys like them want to work hard, but the improper distribution of internal resources and power directly makes many ordinary young people of the current generation exhausted and finally choose to lie down.

"Those who get on the boat first will not hold back those who have not yet boarded the boat behind."

"They will try to prevent those behind from getting on the boat and even push them off if necessary."

"certainly……"

Zhao lit a cigarette and smiled ironically.

"They'll soon find out that it's too much trouble to keep pushing people down."

“Because there is an endless supply of people.”

"There are always people who are stronger than him and he can't push them down."

"So, they will end up directly cutting off the 'road to the ship'."

Jiang Muming was silent.

In fact, he felt a little embarrassed on his face.

Because the Jiang family is now on the ship.

And the people who can still sit on the boat now have more or less done bad things.

After coughing dryly, Jiang Muming took the initiative to change the topic and said:

"Later on, people in the imperial capital were obsessed with fighting for power internally, while the church continued to gather strength outside and grew stronger. Although the power outside was weak, it could not stop the small amount from adding up."

"By the time the church was targeted by people in the imperial capital, it had become a behemoth."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly thought of something important, and his eyes flashed:

"However, what really made the church grow rapidly was that they found the ruins of the xxx Foundation."

"Because the Foundation forcibly studied the blood of corpses floating in the depths of the universe, terrible things happened. All members encountered indescribable weirdness, and no one was spared!"

"Later, the Foundation collapsed and disbanded, leaving behind a large amount of precious research materials and incomplete containment. These things made the church rapidly develop into a giant, and it had the ability to compete with the imperial capital!"

Speaking of the Foundation, Zhao Yi said another sentence.

But Jiang Muming said that the Foundation was a huge civilization wandering in the universe, and they didn't understand it.

They only knew how the Foundation died, but they knew very little about the Foundation itself.

"It doesn't matter anymore...isn't it?"

Jiang Muming sighed.

"What about the most prosperous civilization?"

"Wasn't it reduced to ruins in the end?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Bai also walked out of the torture tower.

The first time he saw him, Zhao Yi knew that Qin Bai's mental state had become seriously ill.

The masochism was aroused by extreme pain.

He was able to push open the door against his instinctive desire, and Qin Bai had proved his control.

"You have ten minutes to adjust yourself, and then we will be ready to leave."

Jiang Muming said to Qin Bai.

Qin Bai, who was panting heavily on his knees, raised his head:

"Are we leaving now?"

"Aren't we going to wait for them?"

Zhao Yixiao said:

"You are really confused."

"Does their life or death have anything to do with us?"
