The human world was plunged into darkness. Countless dead souls crowded between heaven and earth.
There were too many of them. The number of dead souls was thousands of times more than the number of living beings in the human world. The earth, the mountains, the oceans, all the places that could be set foot on were filled with dead souls.
They had no consciousness and no thoughts. At the moment of his death, the Witch used the Law of Huang Quan to create a specter using the Concept of Death and cast it into the present. These specters had no intelligence, but when they sensed 'life force', they would immediately launch a violent attack.
This was much more powerful than Resident Evil. It was as if the malice of the entire universe had put on the armor of death and was purging the human world.
Despair, fear, helplessness …
The Hierarch shook his head slightly as he sensed the various emotions of the living beings. His eyes were filled with the tragic scene of the dead slaughtering the living. His ears were filled with the screams of the living before they died. The smell of blood was so thick that it filled the entire world.
The Hierarch sighed and patted the head of the indigo lion again. "Lion, roar a few times."
The nine-headed lion was invigorated. Its nine heads roared at the world at the same time.
Soon, the loud roar suppressed the panicked screams of the human world. The entire world became silent.
"No wonder Bodhi defined your 'Lion's Roar' as the magical power of the Zhen Ru orthodoxy. It seems to work. "
After shocking the living beings in the human world, the Hierarch slowly revealed his Dharma.
The Green Yang Elixir Lotus was solemn and dignified. Light wheels of Dao Fruits slowly rotated behind the Hierarch.
"I am the Hades Hierarch of the Underworld, the master of the Taishang Pure Land. Now, the iron law of life and death has been shaken. The people of Acheron have invaded the human world. "The Hierarch told the living beings what had happened.
"The Primordial Chaos separated the pure from the turbid. When the universe was established and the world was enlightened, one civilization after another lit up the universe with a different color. The cycle of life, the continuation of civilization, the reproduction and death of generation after generation laid the foundation of the entire universe. "
"But now, the dead are not satisfied with their eternal slumber. They woke up from the distant past and tried to attack the living to vent their anger."
"This is the greatest catastrophe since the creation of the world. It's the vengeance of the dead from the past against the living in the present. "
Thirty-three continents in the human world, countless aquatic creatures in the boundless ocean, and even the remaining fairies and immortal children in the Heaven Realm all came out to look at the young man in grey robe hovering in the air.
"Perhaps many people view themselves as being protected. They look forward to experts and others to stand up to resist the Great Tribulation. However, this war is not a battle between immortals, demons, or righteous or evil. No one can fight in your place. "
"Even if it's a crying newborn baby, or an old man with one foot in the grave. As long as you belong to the living, you can still light the sparks of life. No matter how insignificant Xin Huo is, he must participate in this battle of life and death! "
"This is destined to be a war without rewards. Faced with the jealousy and vengeance of the dead, the living could only passively fight. And the final victory is only to prove the value of the living. "
The Cult Master's words were plain, but they seemed to have a different kind of magic power that soothed the panic of the people in the world.
At some point, the panicking crowd had already stopped moving and were quietly looking at the man in the sky. The beasts and birds that had climbed up the trees and mountain peaks also silently stopped what they were doing and looked at the sky.
"Everyone, this is the greatest, no, the most hopeless situation in history. However — even if the Underworld disappears, even if the human world turns into a dead zone, the spark of hope belonging to the living has not been extinguished. "The azure heavenly robe danced in the wind, dyeing the originally hazy sky green again.
The dead spirits were suppressed by the Cult Master's power and silently retreated, not daring to face him head-on.
"At this moment when the dead are threatened, it has nothing to do with morality, justice, kindness, or evil. There is only life and death! "
"Work hard and rise up! This is a battle of life and death! It is not a certain race or a certain orthodoxy, but the desperate counterattack of all living beings in the human world against death! "
All races, all civilizations, were facing a common enemy at this moment.
"Either death rules the human world, and black terror fills the world, and all living beings wail unwillingly under the iron hooves of death."
"Or life continues to flow, and the living continue to hold their heads high and continue to play out their own joys and sorrows in the human world."
"There is no third possibility in this world!"
Survival or death?
This was an ancient topic that had circulated among many civilizations since the birth of civilization.
"Humans, beasts, birds, aquatic creatures, plants, and even mountain rocks that have developed sentience over the years. All intelligent life shall be united, and all enemies shall let go of their grudges. "
Xuanzheng Chau and Wei Qingchen led the Primordial Dao forces, and the Celestial Dao forces led by the three Xuanmen Palaces stood on the same cloud, silently looking at each other.
"Here, to the world, to the universe, and to the dead, show the unique glory of the living!"
The Cult Master struck the divine bell with all his might. The loud sound of the bell resounded across the sky, shaking the universe and even affecting the chaos.
"I declare that the true Battle of Acheron has begun!"
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled across the world, one after another. The Taixiao Taoist Priests silently watched the changes in the world. The thunder that symbolized the majesty of the heavens brought about changes in the heavens. At this moment, the Calamity of Acheron, known as the greatest calamity of the universe, finally revealed its true fangs.
The dead spirits that lingered above the river of time continued to kill their way into the human world. In the face of the accumulated "death" of the universe, only the power of the living could pass the greatest test of the universe itself!
"Drive them back!"
"Long live the living!"
"Only the living can create civilization, and only civilization can give value to the world!"
Tsunami-Like shouts rang out from all directions. After the Cult Master's speech, under the threat of the dead spirits, the living beings in the human world erupted with the strongest desire to live. The life force and the power of faith in the human world reached an unprecedented height.
"This is the moment!" The Cult Master took the bell hammer and played a melodious and light tune. Green light sprinkled across the entire human world, guiding the Creation Qi in the bodies of the living beings to rise into strands of clear green Celestial Light.
"It's useless. So what if you mobilize all the living beings in the human world? In the face of hundreds and thousands of enemies, how can you fight against my army of dead spirits? "
The Witch, who was entangled with Dangmo Xuansheng, looked up at the human world and mocked, "These dead spirits of mine have the blessing of Acheron. Each of them is a cultivator of the Exuvia level. What can you mortals and even ordinary animals do?"
The Cult Master ignored her and continued to play his music. Behind him, an illusory Godly Dharma Form appeared.
Similar to the Huangting Daojun's Huang Ting Yuanchen, this was also a great existence at the level of Xuansheng.
The Witch's expression gradually changed. That's right. If the spirit of all living beings could create a Godly Xuansheng … Then as the source of life, by fusing the origin of creation of the world together, another great existence could be created.
This was a miracle that only the living could give birth to.
The god that symbolized hope was bathed in the sacred fire of life. Accompanied by the Cult Master's music, it protected the world.
This blessing was not an increase in strength or level. Instead, it was the flame of life of the living that was completely activated by the Hades Hierarch.
Humans, animals, and even plants and rocks that could not move also burst out bright light from their bodies.
When the dead spirits attacked, the canopy of the tree dropped down wisps of green light, accompanied by the green leaves, killing the enemies. The roots on the ground broke out of the ground and strangled the enemies one by one. The giant rocks on the foothills woke up like living creatures. They turned into stone monsters and trampled all the dead spirits in front of them.
This was the hymn of life and death, the main melody that had existed since the creation of the universe. Shouts and killings echoed in the sky along with the music of the bell.
It praised the value of life and eulogized the fire of hope.
Here, there was no difference between immortals and mortals, and there was no difference between humans and beasts. There was only a war between the living and the dead!
The golden flame burned in the human world, naturally restraining the 'dead things'.
There was no need for fighting skills or any weapons. They only needed to use their own desire to survive and the flame of life ignited by the Cult Master to attack the dead spirits.
The lives in the human world were not harmed at all in the flame, but when the dead spirits approached the flame, they were instantly ignited and turned into ashes.
The human world, after all, belonged to the living.
"Everyone, charge!" The farmers, the scholars, the shop assistants, the bailiffs of the government, the important officials … People from all walks of life, regardless of their status, all rushed into the crowd of dead spirits with their own strength.
A woman with a hairpin in her hair walked out of her home holding a child's hand. A young girl who never left her room helped her elders out of the back house. Even the imperial concubines who were scheming against each other in the depths of the palace took off their beaded crowns and walked out of the gorgeous palace in light clothes. At this moment, there was no distinction between men and women, old and young. There was only the confrontation between the living and the dead.
The old man sitting in the wheelchair did not need to get off the ground. He only needed to turn the wheel, and the dying flame of life on his body would automatically burn the dead spirits nearby. The infant, who could not even walk yet, burned all the dead spirits that came close to him with his cries and flames that were full of vitality.
The prisoners waiting to be executed in the prison faced the ghosts that passed through the wall. They raised their handcuffs high and burned the messengers of Acheron with the help of the flame.
"Even if I made a thousand mistakes, even if I will be sentenced to death in the future, I am still a living person!" But at this moment, I am still a living being! "Not for myself, but for the living, for the continuation of the race in the future.
At this moment, the prisoners and the warden stood on the same front against the enemy. The offenders and the guardians of the law put aside their disputes and turned their backs to each other for the continuation of life.
Humans who had passed on generation after generation of civilization had their merits after all. And accompanying them were the birds flying in the sky, the beasts running on the ground, and even the tiny insects hiding in every corner of the world. All the species stood on the same front. There was no internal strife between natural enemies, no continuation of hatred. At this moment, they were only protecting the ultimate dignity of the living.
Only to protect a common wish — to live!
