"When Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World, it went through a really intense geological change.
"A lot of mountains that reached the clouds suddenly appeared at the perimeter of Dragon City, and they tore apart the skyscrapers that originally stood on the plains.
"There were also a lot of places in Dragon City that suddenly collapsed and formed complicated underground mazes. There were also bottomless cracks that led straight to hell," A 'Ji said.
"Fog containing mysterious power gushed out of the cracks, causing quite a number of areas in Dragon City to turn into chaotic battlefields where one could not even see their own fingers. They were cut off from all information inside and outside the city. The Earthlings who were lucky enough to enter by accident were either invaded by the ancient viruses that had just thawed and awakened and turned into monsters that no one could recognize them, or they were eaten by the monsters and ended up as food in their stomachs.
"In truth, Dragon City was built as an incredibly important center for the military, industry, and research on Earth.
"At that time, Earth was in turmoil, and a world war was about to break out at any moment. We even considered the risk of a full-scale nuclear war.
"There was a large military base under Dragon City, an armory, and sealed industrial facilities. There was also a shocking number of regular soldiers stationed there. All of this was prepared for the new era after a full-scale nuclear war, and we had to rebuild our homes on wastelands filled with radiation.
"If the disaster Dragon City encountered was as simple as running into a zombie virus after transmigrating, we could rely on the power of the regular army to get rid of all the zombies in just a few months. They were slow, rotten, and didn't even need a single bullet. All we needed to do was run over them with tanks. Then, Dragon City wouldn't have descended into a bloody era where order collapsed and humanity was lost.
"The problem is, the things that gushed out of the ancient ruins are one hundred times more terrifying than zombies. In fact, they're even more terrifying than the monsters, superbeasts, and abnormal beasts we're facing right now. They're real demonic creatures!
"Since most of the regular military forces in Dragon City were stationed underground, when Dragon City transmigrated, the geological structure changed, and the seal on the ancient ruins was released. The regular army was the first to be affected, and they were attacked by the ancient viruses and demonic creatures.
"Saber Jin Wanhao naturally doesn't know the details of the battle.
"But based on the scattered clues, we can deduce what happened at that time. The regular army and the ancient demonic creatures fought to the death under Dragon City, and they fought to the last drop of blood before they managed to control the ancient power and ensure that Dragon City wasn't destroyed in the first year after we transmigrated.
"However, as the regular army ran out of ammunition and food and was annihilated, the last bit of power to maintain order was also used up. It officially announced the arrival of the lawless apocalypse!"
Meng Chao was filled with excitement when he heard it.
Ah Ji's words solved the mystery that had been troubling him for a long time.
He had been a core member of Blue Home for some time.
He had also participated in many activities to reminisce about the good old days on Earth.
One of the most important parts of these activities was to admire the great military power of the country where Dragon City was located on Earth.
It was said that the country where Dragon City was once had one of the strongest armies on Earth.
The "steel army" was just an exciting slogan in the current Dragon City, but in the beautiful era on Earth, it was a reality.
And since Dragon City was one of the most important military bases in the land, it should have had a lot of regular armies when it first transmigrated.
Even now, Dragon Citizens still enjoyed the armory and weapon factories that were passed down from Earth.
The armory, which contained all sorts of weapons, was still in perfect condition. So where were the regular armies that should have used these weapons?
The government said that the regular armies of the old era had died in the fight against the zombie virus and the flood of Red Dragon River during the early stages of the transmigration.
But Meng Chao was doubtful.
During the early stages of the transmigration, the zombie virus had not mutated yet. Even if Earthlings were infected by the virus and turned into zombies, they were the lowest-level zombies. It was just as A 'Ji said, they were slow, their flesh rotted, their joints were loose, and they had no intelligence at all.
Normal people could swing lawnmowers and be invincible in a zombie horde.
Would the regular army perish together with this damned thing?
"Ancient demonic creatures?"
Meng Chao mumbled to himself.
Ever since he saved the entire group of transmigration experts in Noble Descent Hotel, Meng Chao had the chance to gain a deeper understanding of controllable transmigration technology.
The controllable transmigration technology project was one of the many projects in the ancient research center.
The ancient research center was built on the ancient ruins.
The transmigration experts had come up with a crazy hypothesis in the past.
They believed that Dragon City had transmigrated to the Other World because there was a transmigration engine set up in the depths of Dragon City.
This engine could freely change mass and energy without any loss. It could also cross high-dimensional space and send the city, which was the crystallization of a civilization, to the other side of the galaxy.
In other words, Dragon City was an interstellar battleship left behind by the ancient civilization.
The so-called "Other Worlds" were the super large motherships of the Primordial Civilizations, or even planetary bases.
Meng Chao did not know how reliable this hypothesis was.
But based on his previous life's memories, the elves who could live for thousands of years, the Fire Demons who could move freely in magma, the dwarves who could create amazing weapons even though their social system was very backward, and the unscientific dwarves did not seem like a normal carbon-based planet that could produce such creatures naturally.
The Other World and perhaps even Earth had been "enlightened" by an incredibly advanced ancient civilization, and their influence had continued to this day. This was a fact that could not be denied.
Then, it was not impossible to imagine that there were guards known as ancient demonic creatures stationed at the perimeter of the ancient ruins. They had been sealed for billions of years before they woke up.
To protect Dragon City, just what sort of terrifying and soul-stirring fight did the martyrs fight against the ancient demonic creatures, and just how devastating of a price did they pay?
Meng Chao clenched his fists and sucked in a deep breath. He used the cold air to cool down his burning blood. "Continue. What happened next?"
"Then, I don't know whether it was because the ancient virus was exposed to fresh air for too long and gradually weakened, or whether it was because the regular army killed all the people who became demonic creatures after they were infected by the ancient virus, but the ancient ruins returned to silence. The danger of the cracks that lead to the netherworld decreased by a large margin," A 'Ji said.
"There were always people who were attacked by zombies outside for all sorts of reasons. Even though they didn't die for the time being, they were torn to shreds. They were definitely infected by the zombie virus and were about to turn into zombies.
"Or they fought for food and water, angering the masses and provoking people they shouldn't provoke. They ended up living in fear like stray dogs.
"There are also some people who will hear some strange sounds in their dreams at night. Many crooked runes will appear in front of their eyes, and they will see strange and dazzling scenes. This makes them unable to help but have a strong curiosity and impulse towards the cracks. This situation is known as the 'Primordial Summoning'.
"Anyone who hears the Primeval Summoning will be hypnotized. Their minds will be filled with the desire to venture into the depths of the earth, regardless of the cost.
"Just like that, the people who had nowhere else to go, the people who were being chased, and the people who heard the Ancient Summoning went deep underground to explore.
"Even though the traps and seals around the ancient ruins were explored and destroyed by the regular army, and the infectiousness and lethality of the ancient virus were reduced by a large margin, exploring the strange and unfathomable forbidden land was still a matter of life and death.
"I saw from Saber Jin Wanhao's memories that the ancient ruins were divided into different regions.
"Some of the regions were complicated. They were dark mazes that absorbed all light. People could only rely on their hearing and touch to feel their way forward. It was very easy for them to be trapped there and turn into bones and dust.
"Some of the regions were like primitive caves. Countless runic symbols were carved on the walls. At first glance, they seemed to be harmless, but each runic symbol contained profound and unfathomable secrets. It was easy for them to suck in a person's soul. There were people who stared at the runic symbols dumbly. They did not eat, drink, or sleep to study them until they starved to death and turned into skeletons.
"Some of the regions had balls of energy that looked like will-o '-the-wisps. Some of the luckier people came into contact with the energy balls and had the surging spirit energy guide into their bodies. They instantly became first-class fighters, but there were even more unlucky people who were assimilated by the energy balls and were instantly reduced to ashes. They also turned into will-o' -the-wisps that swayed about.
"Some of the regions looked normal at first glance. They were just two identical tunnels, but the moment the explorers walked in, they disappeared. Three to five minutes later, when they reappeared, they were young men in their twenties or thirties, but they had become old men with wrinkled skin. Based on what they said, they seemed to have been running in a never-ending tunnel for decades!
"There were also some regions that only reappeared after they devoured explorers twenty to thirty years later, but they were still as young as when they disappeared. It was said that they only stayed for a short moment in the ancient ruins, but during that moment, they seemed to have been transported to the end of the galaxy and witnessed a grand battle in the galaxy!
"In any case, most of the explorers who entered the ancient ruins died.
"However, a small number of people who survived had mastered the abilities that were later known as' Extraordinary powers' to varying degrees.
"They were the first superhumans.
"Unfortunately, most of these superhumans weren't good people.
"If I were to explain it with the current life science theories, it would be that while they were in the ancient ruins, their brains were severely affected by the ancient magnetic field. They also saw all sorts of mysterious and indescribable things, so their mental defenses crumbled a long time ago, and they turned into twisted lunatics.
"They had spirit energy in their bodies, but they didn't have a corresponding spirit energy magnetic field to restrain them. They also didn't have any secret techniques to refine their minds and willpower, so they couldn't control their power at all. They could only end up as slaves to it.
"At that time, the world outside was already a lawless, bloody jungle where the strong preyed on the weak.
"The people who obtained supernatural abilities from the ancient ruins naturally became the kings at the top of the food chain.
"When the others saw these people flaunting their strength and executing all sorts of unbelievable abilities, they also learned that this power came from the ancient ruins. So, they naturally thought of ways to crawl into the cracks to explore the place.
"After all, no matter how dangerous the ancient ruins were, there was a certain chance of survival. Once they survived, they could awaken to supernatural abilities.
"Their lives were worthless anyway. So, it was better for them to go underground and risk it all than to fight against each other outside and wait for their deaths.
"The first batch of people who entered the ancient ruins and tasted the benefits would naturally not allow others to easily lay their hands on the ancient ruins.
"To monopolize the right to explore and develop the ancient ruins, the first batch of explorers who came out alive formed a huge and evil organization. This is how Blood Alliance came to be!"
