Opening the pouch, Dongbo Xue Ying looked inside.
There were only two items in the pouch, a dark gold wristband and a crystal ball. The dark gold wristband glowed faintly, making it look extraordinary. As for the crystal ball, it was relatively ordinary.
"That's all?" Retrieving the two items, he placed them on the ground. Taking a closer look, the pouch was completely empty. There was nothing else inside.
"Weng!" The crystal ball on the ground suddenly emitted a bright light.
This caused Dongbo Xue Ying to be shocked as he turned his head to take a look.
The light from the crystal ball formed a human silhouette. It was an old man with long black hair. His eyes were cold and domineering.
"I am Black Wind." The old man with long black hair said coldly.
"Senior Black Wind?" Dongbo Xue Ying's heart thumped. He knew that this was an image left in the crystal ball. The real Ancestor Black Wind had died a long time ago. "Looking at the image, this Ancestor Black Wind should be an extremely domineering and ruthless person. Who would have thought that the strongest Demigod in the past million years would have such a demeanor."
Ancestor Black Wind was invincible in the past! In order to become a Demigod, he did something crazy and increased his strength once again!
Hence, this Ancestor Black Wind's strength had increased to a terrifying level.
He had far surpassed the Demigods of this era and could be said to be the strongest Demigod in the past million years!
"To be able to receive this message of mine, your strength should be close to mine." The old man with long black hair said coldly. "You should be the strongest among the Xia people of this era."
Dongbo Xue Ying mumbled to himself.
Close?
He was still far from that level! He would not be able to defeat the 'Five Shadows' and the black rat if he fought them head-on. He would also not be able to break through the frightening spirit designs at the back. He had only succeeded by walking within the Mirage Realm.
"As the strongest Demigod among the Xia people of this era, you have the ability to shoulder the responsibility for the Xia people!" Ancestor Black Wind said coldly. "I am not asking you to go now. However, you can wait until the end of your lifespan before you take on this responsibility!"
"Responsibility?" Dongbo Xue Ying was puzzled.
"You may be very confused, and you may not understand." Ancestor Black Wind said coldly, "It's also possible … that your generation's Infernal Palace Palace Lord has already told you this secret. No matter what, I will tell you this secret first."
Dongbo Xue Ying listened attentively.
Patriarch Black Wind was involved in many secrets that even Palace Lord Chen refused to divulge.
"The operation of the world is full of many unknowns." Patriarch Black Wind's eyes were filled with a strange luster, as though he was saying something unrelated. "From the moment a world is born, life is born. This is a very normal situation. According to the law, after a long period of time, the world would gradually age and even collapse! The Xia people, the Transcendent Natives, and the Beast Clan will all be annihilated! After the Great Calamity, the Xia people's world will give birth to a new world of mortals, reproducing life … Perhaps there will still be humans, but they will no longer be our Xia people! "
"However, for a world to gradually age and even collapse, it can be considered a complete reincarnation." Patriarch Black Wind said, "Sometimes, a world will collapse prematurely due to unexpected circumstances."
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
Right.
For example, those small and large Transcendent Worlds, if their Origin Stone mines were excavated excessively, the Transcendent World would collapse prematurely.
Similarly —
The more stable, larger, and more perfect 'Mortal World' could also collapse prematurely. However, the Mortal World was too stable. It was very difficult for it to collapse prematurely.
"The Mortal World is very stable. Under normal circumstances, it would be able to recover." Patriarch Black Wind frowned. "In the year 56005 of the Donghou Calendar, something that could cause the destruction of our Xia people's world happened!"
Year 56005 of the Donghou Calendar?
Dongbo Xue Ying immediately calculated in his heart. This was something that happened 1.1 million years ago. The 'Donghou Emperor' was one of the ancestors of the Xia people who became a Deity.
It could cause the destruction of the Mortal World? 1.1 million years ago, what exactly happened?
"It was noon, a seemingly ordinary day!"
"Suddenly, a fiery red light descended from the sky!"
"This fiery red light penetrated through the entire material world and all the barriers of the Mortal World, falling into our Xia people's world." Patriarch Black Wind said, "When it fell, the surrounding area of 100,000 kilometers was turned into ruins. All living beings were wiped out. In fact, two of our Xia people's Transcendents died. One of them was even a Demigod!"
Dongbo Xue Ying's heart trembled when he heard this.
The might of the fall had affected a radius of 100,000 kilometers? If a Demigod wanted to, his attack would be able to cover a radius of 500 kilometers. However, in a normal battle, the might of the attack would be condensed and not scattered! Thus, the radius of the battle would not be too large. Normally, a Demigod of the Xia people's attack would affect a radius of tens of kilometers.
The greater the radius of the attack, the harder it would be to transmit.
A mere fall could affect a radius of 100,000 kilometers? This was even more terrifying than a Deity!
"This is nothing." Patriarch Black Wind said, "After it fell, a group of otherworldly guests arrived! Groups of Reincarnators from the Temporal Temple also rushed over. According to the rumors … these otherworldly guests and Reincarnators from the Temporal Temple are the true peak Demigods. Most of them are comparable to me in strength. Some of them are even stronger than me! "
Dongbo Xue Ying's expression changed when he heard this.
Even stronger than Patriarch Black Wind?
And 'otherworldly guests' … one must know that the Mortal World was very stable. It was very difficult for lifeforms from the Mortal World to enter. For example, the Dark Abyss would occasionally form a passageway. There was no pattern to it. At most, some demons would occasionally enter.
If otherworldly guests wanted to enter, there was only one way — to ask the Temporal Temple to send them to a Mortal World! Sending goods in and sending people in were two different things. The price was much higher!
That fiery red light fell … so many experts rushed over?
"You guessed it. Yes, it's that fiery red light that fell." Patriarch Black Wind said, "The Deity World and even the Dark Abyss have sent their Demigods over. There are even Reincarnators from the Temporal Temple! For the sake of that fiery red stream of light, they had come in batches, but they had died in batches. Very, very few had survived. Not even one out of ten survived! "
"At that time, our Xia Clan was trembling with fear as we watched everything unfold. Only two Demigods went in to investigate, but they never returned. During that period of time, our Xia Clan was like a fish in a pond that was caught in a calamity and suffered greatly!"
"There was no other way!"
"They were sent by the great powers of the Deity World and the Dark Abyss. They were all peak Demigods."
"Because they suffered too many casualties, and the price of sending experts over was too high! These otherworldly guests became fewer and fewer. " Patriarch Black Wind said, "But every few tens of thousands of years, there would still be a batch of otherworldly guests. Firstly, as long as they came out alive, they would be able to bring some treasures with them. Secondly, the great powers of the Deity World and the Dark Abyss still desired to obtain the fallen treasure. "
"This fallen treasure is a mountain!" Patriarch Black Wind said, "According to our interactions with the otherworldly guests and the Reincarnators of the Temporal Temple, this mountain is called the 'Crimson Rock Mountain'! It is also the source of the threat that could destroy our Mortal World! "
